Director Chen briefly introduced the variety show and then got to the point. “Next, we will enter today’s game segment. Before that, we need to draw lots to split into two groups.”

Director Chen pointed at the small box that his assistant had placed on the table and said, “There are eight identical small balls in the box. Four black and four white balls. Those who have drawn the same color will form a group. Next, the guests can come forward and draw a ball.”

In the entertainment industry, any order could be related to status. Ji Jingchi

was the most popular person present, so he was naturally the first to draw a

ball.

Ji Jingchi took out a white ball.

“Qiaoqiao, you go first.” Fu Sheng and Wei Yuzhou looked at each other. Both of them took good care of Tang Qiaoqiao.

Tang Qiaoqiao smiled sweetly and did not argue over such a small matter. “Thank you, Brother Fu and Brother Wei.”

Tang Qiaoqiao’s gaze lingered on the white ball in Ji Jingchi’s hand for a moment, looking forward to drawing a white one as well.

This episode had invited so many people who had invested in the production team that it had already made the old fans give up on the idea of continuing to chase after Drinking in the Countryside. Now, the people who watched the live broadcast the most were Ji Jingchi’s fans. In other words, she would only get more airtime and popularity if she followed Ji Jingchi.

However, things did not go as planned. She pulled out a black ball.

Gu Yang and Ruan Chu were the last two to draw. Before the two of them, all the other people had drawn all the black balls in the box, so only white ones remained inside.

The final grouping was as follows.

White Team: Ji Jingchi, Fu Sheng, Ruan Chu, Gu Yang.

Black Group: Tang Qiaoqiao, Wei Yuzhou, Ruan Yan, Cao Junning.

After Director Chen asked everyone to return to their rooms to change, he brought everyone out of the farmyard.

He was wearing a simple T-shirt and a straw hat. He held a cattail fan in his hand and stood on the ridge of the field. He raised his hand and swiped across the golden rice field in front of him. “Autumn is the time for harvest and the fields everywhere are golden. Our first game today is to cut rice.”

[Director Chen: This is the empire I’ve conquered for you!]

[Hahahaha. Director Chen’s gesture just now coupled with this funny text is simply hilarious! I’ve taken a screenshot. The emoji package will be uploaded soon.]

[Tsk tsk, everyone’s expressions changed when they heard about harvesting rice.]

[Harvest rice? I guessed that this episode would be related to the autumn harvest, but I thought that they would at most pick up rice ears or something. I didn’t expect rice harvesting. Can those celebrities and rich ladies do it?]

[Dog Chen is indeed Dog Chen. Although harvesting rice is not a technical job, it is very torturous. Nowadays, many people in the countryside can’t stand the manual harvesting of rice, let alone these pampered celebrities.]

[I’m from the countryside. I can testify that harvesters weren’t popular when I was young. I had to cut the rice manually. Every time I cut the rice, my entire body would itch, especially if I wore short sleeves. My arms would be even more itchy and uncomfortable.]

[Hahaha. Doesn’t that mean that they’re finished? Because the weather is hot, everyone is wearing short-sleeved shirts. That poor Wei Yuzhou is even wearing a singlet.]

Many people wanted to watch the show and watch the celebrities make a fool of themselves, but the fans of the guests were worried.

[What if my idol’s beautiful face is scratched?]

[My idol’s fingers are insured, okay?]

However, no matter how much the people argued in the live stream, it could not affect Director Chen’s crazy decision.

Director Chen had his own principles for his variety shows. People could come if they wanted, but if guests came, they had to follow his game rules. It didn’t matter if you were rich ladies sent by investors or award-winning actors.

He asked his assistant to distribute a sickle to each of them, then said, “The rules of the game are very simple. There are two plots of land with the ridge as the boundary. Each group will have one piece of land. The first one to finish harvesting is considered the winner. The finished rice grains have to be neatly placed in the designated location..”
