Romance Variety Show: Director, there's something wrong with my script!

Chapter 7: Worthy of This Daily Wage

Although everyone knew beforehand that this was a show about trying to win someone's heart, they were unclear about the specifics of how it would work.

Just like now, before the butler appeared, everyone assumed they had eaten together and then went about their own business.

With a clear direction, some people suddenly became more motivated.

As the first program of "Heartbeat for Thirty Days", Ji Chengyu and the others thought there would be a costume arrangement, but they realized that there was no such complicated process until the housekeeper left.

The sun was almost setting below the horizon, and everyone stood together, forming five groups.

"Are you hungry?" Xu Zhiyi asked.

Chen Yuan rubbed his stomach and nodded. "Yeah, I'm hungry. Shall we set off?"

"Okay." Xu Zhiyi was somewhat surprised to hear this. Chen Yuan was quite decisive when it came to taking action.

So the two of them headed towards the door.

Seeing this, the others also took action, some going back to their rooms to change clothes, others needing to prepare. The first event of this variety show officially began.

Chen Yuan and Xu Zhiyi left the villa and followed the road signs toward the mountainside. Behind them was a photographer.

On the way, the two remained quiet and didn't have much to talk about.

The resort is built into the mountainside, and the villas where they live are located at the foot of the mountain, while there are also activity areas on the mountainside and at the top of the mountain.

The cliffside restaurant they were going to was on the mountaintop, so the two of them needed to go halfway up the mountain to take a sightseeing bus to the top.

"Don't you think this is a bit redundant?" Chen Yuan suddenly said.

"Indeed, why can't we just set up sightseeing vehicles at the foot of the mountain?" Xu Zhiyi frowned. As a lawyer, she was most sensitive to unreasonable things.

"You're talking about this, right?" Xu Zhiyi paused and looked at Chen Yuan.

"..."

"Yes, I was just about to add something." Chen Yuan nodded, inwardly surprised. No wonder he's a lawyer.

By the time we reached the mountaintop, it was already completely dark, night had fallen, and a pale moon hung in the sky.

A gentle breeze caresses the face on a midsummer night.

Chen Yuan looked around. The moonlight overhead was beautiful. Before long, the two arrived at the private house on the cliff that was open for business.

After passing through the restaurant's central area, the two followed a waiter to the seating area on the other side of the restaurant.

"It really is a restaurant on the edge of a cliff. You can sit on the edge of the cliff, eat, and look out at the night view of Licheng in the distance," Chen Yuan exclaimed.

Separated by the railing is a pitch-black cliff, and in the distance, the night view of Licheng.

In the sweltering summer heat, a cool breeze blows from time to time.

Xu Zhiyi looked around and nodded, then pulled out a chair and sat down, while a waiter handed her a menu.

Chen Yuan sat opposite her. He seemed to have no tasks scheduled for tonight, so he was quite relaxed. After Xu Zhiyi ordered two dishes, he took the menu and ordered two dishes for himself.

A steak and a serving of snails.

This is a rare item; he's never eaten it before. Since the production team is covering the cost, he naturally wants to try something he's never tasted before.

After the waiter took away the menu, two glasses of lemonade were brought over a few minutes later.

During this time, neither Chen Yuan nor Xu Zhiyi spoke.

But with a daily income of 3.33 yuan, Chen Yuan felt he should be more serious. Since the contract required him to take the initiative, wasn't this the best opportunity?

Besides, he also wanted to change his personality.

"Ji Chengyu and the others seem to be very afraid of you. Why is that?" Chen Yuan pondered for a moment before asking his question.

"Afraid?" Xu Zhiyi turned her gaze from the distance to Chen Yuan and said, "That seems to be true, probably because of my identity as a lawyer."

"I run a law firm that focuses on the entertainment industry. I've met them a few times, but most of the time I'm received by their leaders," Xu Zhiyi said casually.

"I see, I understand how that feels." Chen Yuan listened calmly. Wasn't this exactly how he felt when he saw Li Xin?

Although Li Xin was his senior, she was also his supervisor, so he felt uncomfortable when he was alone with her.

However, over time, he has gradually gotten used to it.

"Hmm?" Xu Zhiyi was a little surprised, but Chen Yuan seemed not surprised at all, as if he could really understand this feeling.

"You really don't have a single work?" Xu Zhiyi asked after a moment of silence.

"Of course I have created works, but they didn't meet the requirements for recording," Chen Yuan said with a helpless smile.

"What kind of work is it?" Hsu Chih-yi found it hard to imagine. What kind of work wouldn't even qualify for recording? Could someone like that still be considered a creator?

Chen Yuan was stumped by her question. He scratched his head and said, "Anyway, it's a really bad piece of work. It's so bad that no one would believe me if I said I had formal training."

As for what those forgotten works were like, Chen Yuan himself had forgotten.

He also recently noticed that he had no musical memories of this world in his mind, and this phenomenon could only be attributed to the original owner automatically blocking out these things.

Xu Zhiyi nodded, didn't ask any further questions, picked up the lemonade on the table, took a sip, and then her gaze fell again on the night view of Licheng in the distance.

It wasn't until the waiter served the food that the two of them focused their attention on enjoying it.

During the meal, Chen Yuan tried to strike up a conversation with her, but Xu Zhiyi's responses were mostly brief. By the time they finished eating, it was already past 7 p.m.

As Chen Yuan left the restaurant, he stretched comfortably, a look of satisfaction on his face.

Next, we'll move on to the next event location.

As they were leaving, the waiter gave them a card with their next destination in mind: a badminton hall located at the top of the hill.

Upon seeing the location, the two knew what they were going to do: probably some post-dinner exercise.

"Do you know how to play badminton?" Chen Yuan asked curiously on the way.

"Yes, my skills are quite good," Xu Zhiyi replied.

"..."

"What, you don't know how?" She looked at Chen Yuan in surprise.

"I'm not very good at it, I know the basics." Chen Yuan scratched his head, a little embarrassed.

Xu Zhiyi nodded, and the next moment, her gaze fell on Chen Yuan's clothing. She noticed that the jeans Chen Yuan was wearing did not seem to be the original color.

"Did you wash these pants until they turned white?" Xu Zhiyi asked, puzzled.

"Huh?" Chen Yuan didn't expect the other party to pay attention to these things. He looked at his pants and said, "Yes, they were originally light blue, but now some areas have turned white."

"They're comfortable to wear, so I'm too lazy to throw them away."

For the first time, Xu Zhiyi's usually aloof face showed a look of confusion as she looked at Chen Yuan and said, "You are a strange person."

As they spoke, the two arrived at the badminton hall. Before they even went inside, they heard a familiar voice coming from within.

The next moment, Chen Yuan walked in and saw Lu Zeyan and Zhang Jianjian chatting idly.

"Huh?" Zhang Jianjian looked a little flustered when he saw Chen Yuan. Why was this guy so persistent?

"It seems you two are our opponents!" Lu Zeyan said with a smile when he saw the two arrive.

Chen Yuan and Xu Zhiyi exchanged a glance and immediately realized that this was a doubles match.

Good grief, he's going to be a burden. Chen Yuan was somewhat helpless. In a sense, he seemed to be quite deserving of his daily wage.
