Chapter 59 – A big “how to smoothly rise to the top in the workplace” tutorial site.
[Two shifts in one]

I have to say, this bowl of fried potatoes is really something.

Song Yunran was attracted out of all the attention, and focused on eating up.

Thanks to the education he received since childhood, he sat on the roadside to eat and did not look sloppy.
Not even a little bit of sauce was spilled, and his face was not covered with sauce, he was elegant as if he was sitting in a Michelin restaurant enjoying a feast.
On top of that, his heart was focused on the potatoes and he had no time to talk, so he looked like a very good boy.

The cameraman pulled the camera closer and gave a long close-up.

What a nice image, he thought, the sunlight sprinkled on the hair of Mr.
Song, can reflect an even warmer light.

Unexpectedly at this time ……

Song Yunran looked up: “My God!”

He pointed to Shao Qian and Wan Yuzhe in front of him, extremely shocked, “How come they are hugging on!”

“……”

Unfortunately, the long open mouth, let the beautiful picture directly add a trace of dropping intelligence to the atmosphere.

“I don’t know.” Qin Ke answered him in a light voice, “Maybe it’s a dance move.”

Song Yunran froze on the spot, this is really beyond his field of knowledge, not to mention it isn’t suitable for him to continue learning in depth.

It seems that the way of getting along between a father and son cannot be copied in its entirety.

“Then let’s go.”

He was very afraid that his learning would be ruined, and he quickly said, “Let’s go see how Dai Yao and the girls are doing.”

The team left behind the group of love beans who were obsessed with selling rot and delaying their progress, and walked along the concrete road in the village towards the small square where the cartons were drawn and selected.

A group of chattering elementary school students followed behind to watch the fun, a little girl with a ponytail came closest.
She looked Song Yunran up and down a few times, and under the nudge of her peers, she gathered the courage to ask: “Brother, are you also a star?”

Song Yunran chin up, proudly said: “Of course not, I am the president.”

“What’s a president?”

“…… is the boss.”

“Oh, why don’t you become a star?”

The little girl confusedly cocked her head, very puzzled, “You are better looking than many stars on TV.”

Song Yunran never expected that under the cultivation of such a simple folk customs in Tonggu Village, this little girl would have learned the art of speaking early on.

In front of the camera, he didn’t have the heart to say “I think so too”, and could only say back in a serious manner, “Don’t say that casually in the future.”

“Why?”

“Because it’s easy for people to think you’re a water army that I hired.”

The word “water army” was too profound for a seven or eight year old girl.

She gave up thinking and asked directly, “So you are the boss, what do you usually sell ah?”

Song Yunran’s thoughts were suddenly stuck.

In the end, he is not a real elementary school girl, in the face of the authentic children’s words, for a moment he actually did not know how to answer.

It can’t be said to be selling people, it sounds hard not to make people want to call the police.

So he pointed to Qin Ke next to him, “My job is to manage stars like him.”

The little girl timidly glanced at Qin Ke.

This brother didn’t seem to be very nice to talk to, unlike the one who was the boss, with a curved smile and dimples that she envied.

She didn’t dare to chat with Qin Ke, and instead continued to ask Song Yunran: “Are you lying to me?”

Song Yunran: “……?”

The little girl turned her head and finished whispering with her partners and loudly announced the result of their discussion, “He definitely doesn’t belong to you, you look like his younger brother!”

“Pfft.”

A few spurts of laughter from the program staff made Song Yunran feel like she was being mocked hard.

It was quite unexpected.

He was actually in a small mountain village and was commented on by school children as being a younger brother.

The person he was compared to was the same person he once referred to as his brother, Qin Ke.

Song Yunran is a mature adult, and cannot argue with elementary school children, and can only hold his fists tight: “Who said ……”

“Who said he can’t control me?”

Unexpectedly, Qin Ke spoke first, he paused, bent down and looked at the little girl.
He smiled and said, “He didn’t lie, I am under his control.”

When Qin Ke is not smiling, his sharp profile often seems overly cold.

Once he smiles, the detachment from the world will fade a few points, allowing the tenderness hidden under the noble appearance to emerge.


Especially at this time, he bent down and kept his eyes at the same height as the little girl, which directly shortened the distance between the two.

The little girl blinked her eyes and was so stimulated by the close up face impact that she forgot to say a word.

Another chubby little boy took over the conversation: “So is he good?”

Qin Ke nodded: “Yes, our Mr.
Song is just very good.
No matter what he does, he can always do a great job, he is a very smart person.”

“Wow-”

The elementary school students were stunned by his calm and convincing tone.
They made awe-inspiring sounds in unison, and the gazes they looked at Song Yunran conveyed strong admiration.

In the face of such a direct and hot gaze, Song Yunran became uncomfortable.

He tried to strain the corners of his mouth, which he desperately wanted to raise, and his eyes fluttered into the distance.
He tried to pretend that he didn’t care about this little praise, but in the end, he couldn’t hold back and his ears turned red with joy.

The surrounding members of the program team were quiet, and they looked at each other for a few moments, conveying the same understanding in each other’s eyes.

A big “how to smoothly rise to the top in the workplace” tutorial site.

Learned, really learned.

At 5pm, the three teams that had completed their tasks in small groups, reassembled at the square where they got off the bus.

Looking at the series of words on card, the director read emotionlessly, “First of all, congratulations to everyone who completed the challenge and successfully earned the privilege to check in tonight!”

The six guests cooperated by applauding in celebration.

Among them, the women’s group with Dai Yao and Lu Jingyi showed the most pleasure.

They were the second team to get the keys, and hadn’t expected to have much luck, but Song Yunran and the others took the initiative to give up the rest of their choices, allowing the two to pick up a two-story villa with the best conditions for nothing.

As for Shao Qian and Wan Yuzhe ……

Although some people are still applauding with both hands, their souls have almost died out.

In the premise that Wan Yuzhe can’t really dance, they have to show their socialist bromance to attract CP fans, but also has to maintain their persona to increase their own charm to consolidate their only powder fans, a dual role at the same time.
They also have to secretly compete with Song Yunran’s group, and must grasp the measure, so as not to be too intimate to cause the final footage to not air.

The elements are too intensive, causing both of them to have an unbound and pure selfish mind under the facade of a forced smile.

And they ended up working so hard, but only got a set of wood-paneled houses in a melon field.

There is not even a bathroom, it is really pitiful when you look at it.

Although “Slow Holiday Travel” has added the mechanism of competition, but overall it still leans towards leisure.

The crew let the guests make some comments about the rooms they had chosen, and then announced that everyone could start cooking.

Dai Yao took the initiative and said, “Director Lu and I have a big kitchen at our house, why don’t we go to our place together?”

Everyone had no objection and immediately moved to the villa.

Originally, when Song Yunran heard that Dai Yao had chosen the villa, he was a little envious in his heart.

But only after arriving did he find that this villager’s self-built two-story villa, which should have just been repaired not long ago, had a bare courtyard, and was not as spacious as the small house he had chosen, apart from being newer and more roomy.

” Looking at it this way, our suite is actually quite good.” When no one was around, Song Yunran quietly muttered to Qin Ke.

Qin Ke was looking at the meat in the refrigerator, and turned his head: “It is quite good, but the windows are a little broken.
I’ll go back tonight and see if I can find tools to fix it.”

Song Yunran was surprised: “You also know how to repair windows?”

“Before ……”

Qin Ke paused for half a beat and used his eyes to indicate that the previously he was talking about was actually the previous life, “Learned in the crew.”

Song Yunran understood, seeing that Dai Yao and Lu Jingyi also entered the kitchen, so he asked, “Do you need my help?”

“Do you know how to cook?” Lu Jingyi asked him in return.

Song Yunran shook his head awkwardly.

“Then you, Shao Qian and the others go pick some vegetables in the field.”

Lu Jingyi is worthy of being a director, commanding extra smoothly, “There are three of us in the kitchen, that’s enough.”

Song Yunran took the vegetable basket and went out.

He found the love bean group squatting in the courtyard and said excitedly, “Ms.
Lu said there are no vegetables at home, let us go out and pick some, come on?”

Shao Qian was silent for a few seconds and asked cautiously, “Is Qin Ke going?”

“He’s going to stay and cook.” Song Yunran replied.

Shao Qian and Wan Yuzhe let out a long sigh of relief.

Great, they really can’t roll anymore.

To make sure that Song Yunran was the only one from the other side, they both went out with a much lighter pace.

There is no other team to compete from the side, and their interaction is also much more natural, and in the few minutes it took to reach the vegetable field, they fought and contributed a lot of high-dose material.


Song Yunran did not forget his mission, and was always secretly observing.

He found that despite the square dance, Shao Qian has always encouraged Wan Yuzhe, but putting aside the strength of their dance foundation, other times, it was Wan Yuzhe who was good-tempered and gave way to Shao Qian everywhere.

Is this the father’s kindness and the son’s filial piety?

Song Yunran became more and more envious, squatting in the vegetable field for a long time contemplating, and decided to ask for advice.

He casually picked a bundle of leafy greens that he didn’t know what it was, and moved next to Shao Qian while Wan Yuzhe was far away and said, “Can I ask you something?”

Shao Qian’s hand shook and broke off a round cabbage.

He calmly said in a deep voice: “You say.”

Song Yunran turned off the microphone and instructed the cameraman to walk away.

Shao Qian saw the situation, even though he did not understand the logic, but he still turned off the microphone and let the cameraman of their group go ahead and shoot Wan Yuzhe first.

When everything was ready, Song Yunran seriously asked, “When did you and Wan Yuzhe establish a relationship?”

Shao Qian: “What relationship?”

“You tell me.”

Song Yunran didn’t want to be discovered by the nearby staff that he was here to learn how to be a father, and said incoherently, “Just the kind of relationship you showed from the moment you got into the car.”

Shao Qian was stunned and thought, “Could it be that they both acted so well that Mr.
Song thought they were really gay?

He hurriedly explained, “No no, he and I are both straight.”

“……” Song Yunran was speechless, “What kind of stuff are you talking about.”

Ah, not asking this?

Shao Qian looked at the other side in confusion, finally catching a key signal from Song Yunran’s eyes.

Yes, this king of introversion, his concern must be about me and Wan Yuzhe selling rot.

Shao Qian didn’t want to answer, but he didn’t dare to disobey the capitalists, so he could only confess honestly: “It’s been two years, I made an appointment with him before participating in the talent show.”

Song Yunran was envious: “Two years? How did you settle on it?”

Shao Qian: “……just what the company assigned.”

Everything is but an arranged marriage, he added in his mind.

“?”

Song Yunran was stunned, this can also be assigned by the company?

He tore off a vegetable leaf resentfully, thinking that he was the President for nothing, he did not even have the courage to explicitly stipulate Qin Ke to be his son.

“But I see that Wan Yuzhe is very cooperative with you,” he continued to ask, “you must have a good way, can you teach me?”

“……”

Shao Qian stared at the lush green vegetable field, feeling desolate in his heart.

Selling rot all depends on understanding, and it is really shameful to sum up your own feelings.

He also saw Song Yunran’s previous actions, he was obviously a master of the game, but now he pretends to be a noob, and he doesn’t know who he wants to humiliate.

He wanted to jump up and beat the capitalist, but he still did not dare.

After a moment of silence, Shao Qian was tired at heart and said: “Learning is not possible, it all depends on talent.
If you have to say something, just relax, don’t think too much, follow your heart and just perform naturally.”

Follow your heart ……

Song Yunran recited this sentence in his mind several times and confirmed, “Simply put, it means do what you want to do?”

“It’s okay to interpret it that way.”

Shao Qian just wanted to end this topic that was so embarrassing as soon as possible.

Song Yunran seemed to have an understanding and showed a smile a moment later, “I understand, thank you.”

“You’re welcome.”

Shao Qian paused and finally asked curiously, “Why did you learn this?”

Song Yunran winked and said mysteriously, “Because this is my great goal, I entered the entertainment industry for this.”

Shao Qian couldn’t stand it: “Are you kidding me?”

You are the Prince of Ning Dong, the representative of Capital! What’s the point of learning to sell rot for no reason!

“I’m not kidding you, I’m serious.”

Song Yunran saw Wan Yu Zhe come over, and patted Shao Qian’s shoulder, “Let’s work together in the future”

Shao Qian: “……”


He did not want to talk, his heart was so tired.

A few hours later, the six guests finished their dinner while chatting in front of the camera.

It was late at night, and the rest was free time, so the director announced that everyone could group up.

After a long day of tossing and turning, Song Yunran was also tired and wanted to rest early.

Back at the house, he and Qin Ke showered one after another and were thinking of either ending the day’s shooting by simply playing cards, when they heard the broken bedroom window whistling in the wind.

Tonggu Village is located in a small southern city, the average temperature in winter is about 10 degrees, and walking in the sun during the day would not be cold.

But after nightfall, the temperature still slowly dropped.

Song Yunran stood at the window for a while and shivered: “Or ask the program team to borrow tools?”

When they just came back, Qin Ke searched around the house and found no tools suitable for repair.

They originally planned to make do with it for a few days, but now they realized that one night was enough.
If they stayed like this for several nights in a row, they might both catch a cold in the end.

Qin Ke gave a “hmm” and opened the door to explain the situation to the sub-group director in the courtyard.

As if he had been waiting for a long time, the director replied impatiently, “No toolbox at home? I don’t think so, was it stolen by a mysterious elf?”

Qin Ke: “……”

Song Yunran: “……”

You said in a mountain village of our country that an elf stole the toolbox, don’t you think your worldview is not quite coherent?

The director did not change his face and continued, ” Tonggu Village has always had the legend of an elf stealing the villagers’ belongings, and I never thought we would come across it today.
But fortunately, the village elders told us that if you play with the elves, they will not only return the items, but also tell you about the secret treasure of Tonggu Village.”

Surprisingly, it was still a treasure hunting program.

Song Yunran understood that the window was deliberately left unrepaired by the program team and was waiting for the guests here.

He tightened his jacket and said, “There is a mission, right? Just tell us what we need to do.”

The director said, “The toolboxes in the house are usually kept in the utility room.
Why don’t you have someone stay there and keep watch overnight tonight, maybe we’ll get a clue tomorrow morning.”

Song Yunran’s heart skipped a beat, and he finally recalled the meaningful smile from the cameraman in the afternoon.

He went to the utility room during the day, there is no window there, it depends on one dim chandelier for lighting.
And the utility room is full of messy things, without lights, it is pitch black revealing a slightly eerie atmosphere.

He is still recalling the mission environment, and Qin Ke has already made a decision: “Then I will go.”

Song Yunran gritted his teeth and said, “I’d better go.”

He scratched his head and reminded Qin Ke, “When we made a bet this afternoon, we agreed to let me do any tricky tasks.
There is a folding bed in the utility room, it should be fine to sleep for one night.”

Qin Ke looked at him sideways: “It should be more than just a night’s sleep, isn’t there a little elf to play with?”

Song Yunran: “……”

The problem is here, no one knows what the elf refers to, it may be a name made up by the program team in order to pass the review.
In fact, the original setting is perhaps the lonely and wild ghost that fits well with the world view of the village.

It feels like a test of courage.

Song Yunran hesitated for a moment.
He was afraid of ghosts since he was a child, and he would definitely hide when encountering such things.

But this afternoon’s promise is still ringing in his ears, and Qin Ke is one size bigger than him, plus his shoulder is injured, and he doesn’t think it’s suitable for him to sleep on a narrow foldable bed.

When he was in a dilemma, Song Yunran suddenly remembered what Shao Qian said: don’t think too much, follow your heart.

So what is his innermost thought at this moment?

Song Yunran thought about it and came up with an answer.

Of course it is to be a brave and great father!

…Maybe there is also a little bit of the idea of ​​wanting Qin Ke to have fun.

Song Yunran has noticed that every time he talks about what Qin Ke will do, he will say that he learned it from filming in the past.
At first glance it seems to be very powerful, but when you think about it, it is not quite right.

It was all set up by the author.

It’s not something that Qin Ke wanted to learn from his heart out of his own will and liking.

It feels a bit pathetic.

Song Yunran was blinded by sympathy and said firmly, “Well, let me do it.”

He looked askance at Qin Ke, “You find something to block the window by yourself, rest early, we are looking for treasure tomorrow.”

Qin Ke was quiet for a few seconds before saying, “Okay.”

A few minutes later, Song Yunran was lying on the folding bed in the utility room.

He looked at the light bulb hanging down from the beam and thought to himself that it didn’t seem as scary as he thought.

But at that moment, the dim light suddenly began to flicker.


Song Yunran: “???”

He turned over and jumped out of bed to see what was going on, and the next thing he knew, his vision was plunged into darkness.

A cold wind blew across the back of his neck, as if there was a hooded female ghost standing behind him.

Song Yunran hurriedly laid back on the bed in the dark, wrapped himself tightly in the quilt, even his head was completely wrapped up in it.

However, the next second, there was a strange movement from under the bed.

It seems that something is slowly and gently pulling a wooden box.

Song Yunran’s whole body felt awful.

Shen Yiyi, you have a cruel heart, you actually repay kindness with a grudge!

I wonder if this heartfelt voice was sensed by Shen Yiyi’s brain waves.
In a trance, he seemed to hear the wooden door of the utility room being pushed open by someone again, and the sound of footsteps getting closer and closer, finally stopping at the side of his bed.

“Mr.
Song.” A voice called out to him.

Song Yunran was too frightened to move, and still did not forget to say, how many ideas, and also imitating Qin Ke’s voice to scare him.

What kind of traditional ghost story is this? It’s a little too realistic.

The voice paused for a few seconds, then called again: “Song Yunran.”

It’s really similar, even the tone of voice is exactly the same!

Song Yunran was about to collapse and started to think if he quit the recording right away, would it turn the two Song and Shen families against each other.

The voice seemed to sigh and said again, “It’s me, Qin Ke.
Don’t be afraid, the scary part is over.”

Song Yunran froze and half-heartedly lifted a crack in the blanket and found that the lighting had been restored in the utility room.

He slowly revealed his head and saw Qin Ke himself standing by the bed.

It is probably because the overhead light is too shiny, he actually saw a little tenderness and compassion from Qin Ke’s helpless expression.

…… pity?

…… God, it seems to be more horrible.

Song Yunran rubbed his eyes and asked in a whisper, “Is it over?”

But he still hasn’t got the toolbox and clues for the treasure ah.

“Hmm, go back to the bedroom and sleep.”

Qin Ke helped him pick up his jacket that accidentally fell on the ground, “This mission is called off.”

Song Yunran was dumbfounded and left the utility room behind Qin Ke.

The courtyard staff faces are full of complex expressions, the need to cue the process of the choreographer is a numb face, stood out and announced, “This session will be considered as dropped, you have lost a treasure clue.”

Song Yunran has not yet recovered from the shock: “Aren’t you a travel and leisure variety show? How can you still plant people under my bed?”

“There is no one.” The director explained helplessly, “It’s just a Bluetooth stereo.”

Song Yunran was momentarily speechless, feeling humiliated by the fact that he was scared to death because of a stereo.

He skimmed the corners of his mouth and whispered, “Since it’s just a stereo, you shouldn’t have called it off in the middle, I’ve been holding on for so long.”

The director’s numb face slowly revealed a subtle smile: “Mr.
Song you did not hold on for long, only a minute and a half at full count, right?”

“……”

“And it’s not our fault, it was Mr.
Qin who said to stop.”

“……”

“Are there any more questions, Mr.
Song?”

Song Yunran thought about it for a moment and spoke with embarrassment, “Can we cut this part and not broadcast it? I feel so embarrassed.”

“You can rest assured.”

The director of the show forced a smile and said solemnly, “We promise not to save a thing.”

The author has something to say: Little Song can always go back to make the Shen family bankrupt (and fail to do so).

T/N:
It seems that the author missed the upload schedule by a day and uploaded almost two chapters as one.
Ufff, it was really big to translate and I didn’t proofread it yet, so there might be changes later.
But, I still uploaded it because it was too cute and I very much wanted to share it with you.
My first language isn’t English, and there may be some grammatical errors.
But I try not to deviate from the author’s narrative.
If there are any errors or nonsensical sentences, feel free to comment.
