CHAPTER 32: CHAPTER 32: MISSION BEGINS
Tong Yan smiled and leaned toward his ear, saying, "First you pay me back before talking about supporting a family." She didn’t lean too close, but from the camera’s angle, it looked like they were whispering sweetly.
Wen Shu acted as if he hadn’t heard, "Then I’ll go make some money."
Even though Wen Shu said that, Tong Yan couldn’t just ignore him. She followed him, thinking about how he would make money, only to find out he went off to perform and beg on the street. As for what talents he showcased, he just did a few martial arts moves...
Tong Yan felt it was embarrassing and didn’t follow along. Instead, she thought of ways to earn money herself. With just over three hours to make a thousand yuan, it was a big task, but she had to find a way, no matter what.
Tong Yan thought about it and went to a clothing store, asking if they needed a salesperson. She didn’t ask for a base salary, just a high commission. After some intense negotiation, they agreed on a 20 yuan commission per item sold. This high commission probably resulted from the shop owner seeing her filming a show and being too embarrassed to bargain down.
The store’s location was pretty decent, situated on a bustling street with plenty of foot traffic. Tong Yan, with her sharp tongue, sold five pieces of clothing in half an hour. Two of those were bought by one of her excited fans who saw her and immediately bought two pieces without hesitation.
Thank you, fans.
Things went smoother afterward, and three hours later, Tong Yan returned with 300 yuan in her pocket. When she got back to the meeting point, Wen Shu was already resting there. Seeing her return, he ran over, "Mission accomplished."
Upon learning that Wen Shu had made 1,200 yuan on his own, Tong Yan gave him a hug as a sign of gratitude.
This kid really has great potential.
Because they completed the task successfully, they were able to take a taxi back. They kept 200 yuan, and the rest was confiscated by Director Wan...
Back at their place, a new challenge arose—it was time to make dinner!
Director Wan responded with four words: sort it out yourselves.
After rummaging through the whole house and not finding a single piece of food, Tong Yan, fuming with anger, rushed over to fight Director Wan to get back the money they earned that afternoon. Wen Shu hugged her tightly, "Calm down, calm down..."
Wen Shu pulled her into a corner and secretly took out 100 yuan from his pocket, "I hid some earlier, we have money."
Tong Yan, overwhelmed with emotion, "Thank you so much!" Finally, they had a solution for dinner.
With Tong Yan’s 100 yuan, the two of them went to the supermarket to buy groceries. Wen Shu cooked a sumptuous dinner, consisting of: braised eggplant, tomato scrambled eggs, spicy and sour shredded potatoes, and sweet and sour ribs.
The total cost didn’t exceed 30 yuan; they didn’t dare spend too much in case the production crew had more tricks up their sleeves the next day!
The next morning before dawn, she was still in her dreams when Director Wan woke her up with a task: wake Wen Shu with a sweet love kiss.
Tong Yan: ...
What the heck is a sweet love kiss?!
Director Wan handed Tong Yan a key, and she sneaked into the room under the cover of darkness. The room was pitch black, so she turned on the flashlight on her phone to see Wen Shu sleeping deeply.
Tong Yan wondered how on earth she was supposed to wake this guy with a kiss.
But since they were filming, no matter how reluctant she felt, she had no choice.
To make a joke out of it, Tong Yan applied layer after layer of dark red lipstick on her lips.
Before she could kiss him, Wen Shu woke up groggily, looking over; Tong Yan reacted quickly, letting her hair fall in front of her, holding the flashlight to her chest, and then she eerily said, "I...am...here..."
At that moment, there was a slight spooky vibe.
Wen Shu instantly woke up completely, shivering and backing away, his eyes filled with fright, and his body trembling obviously terrified, "Don’t, don’t come closer!"
"Thud!"
Wen Shu got so scared he fell off the bed.
Tong Yan couldn’t hold it in any longer and burst into laughter, walking over to turn on the light.
Only then did Wen Shu realize he had been pranked, threw a look over his shoulder, "Sister Yan, I’m angry now."
Tong Yan walked over, pinched his cheek, and said with a smile, "Be good."
