Chapter 88: Chapter 88: I Call This a Test of Your Will!
She wanted to refuse, but didn’t have the courage to do so.
The Chen’an Entertainment she worked for was currently the largest entertainment company in Hua Country.
As the most basic of eighteenth-tier minor stars in the company,
what other choice did she have but to comply with the company’s arrangements?
After a long time, Bai Lu trembly placed the contract on the table, her voice squeezed from her throat, so light it almost dispersed in the air.
“Fine, I’ll sign.”

At exactly three o’clock in the afternoon, the clear, loud broadcast echoed at the door of the five guests’ rooms, with precise diction and resounding strength.
“The third set of the national middle school students’ broadcast exercise—’Dancing Youth’ starts now!”
“Dang dang dang dang dang dang…..”
“Ready move, one two three four five six seven eight, two two three four, five six seven eight…..”
Six people turned over in bed at the same time.

Qi Tianyu was the first to wake up, his face full of resentment and unwillingness.
“Director, are you even letting people live? I’ve only slept for half an hour!”
He Yun didn’t complain much, slightly furrowed her brows, then slowly sat up from the bed.
The two girls next door also got out of bed begrudgingly, muttering curses under their breath.
When it came to Jiang Yan’s turn, he directly grabbed the pillow from under him and threw it toward the door.
“Dammit, does your program team even have a conscience? Collecting recyclables in the morning, broadcasting exercises in the afternoon, are you intentionally torturing me?”
The live broadcast room was about to burst with laughter.
[The moment the broadcast sounded, I jolted awake from bed and started doing the ready move.]
[Help, childhood nightmare, the director team is really good at messing with us.]
[Damn, I actually fell asleep too, thanks to Flash Change, it cured my insomnia just like that.]
[So tragic, it’s three in the afternoon, I’m at home watching TV and eating ice cream, and they have to get down to work.]
[The person above is too much, I’m still in class! I can only sneak peeks when the teacher isn’t paying attention!]
[Ah, isn’t it summer vacation now? Are there actually college students who haven’t got a summer break?]
Complaints aside, after a while, Jiang Yan still got up from the bed with a face full of grievance.
As he yawned and passed by Jiang Li’s door, he found she was already up, quietly sitting at the desk flipping through a book.
“Dammit!” Jiang Yan shouted as though he’d seen a ghost, “Do you have to be so diligent? Reading a book instead of napping in the afternoon? Jiang Li, are you possessed?”
Jiang Li didn’t even spare him a glance, “The optimal time for a nap is 15 to 30 minutes, sleeping longer can affect cerebral blood flow and nervous system functions.”
“In other words, it’s easy to become stupid.”
Jiang Yan: “……”
Was he just insulted again?
“All right, all right, I can’t argue with you.” Jiang Yan ran a hand through his hair, “But the director is calling us to gather, hurry up, don’t make me lose points again if you’re late.”
Jiang Li returned to silence.
The room was filled only with the rustling sound of pages turning.
Jiang Yan felt even more indignant being ignored and was about to say something to reprimand her when he saw her slowly close the book and stand up from the chair.
“Let’s go,” Jiang Li said in a soft voice.
Jiang Yan could only swallow the words that had almost reached his lips.
He had forgotten that this ancestor had a lot of strength to spare recently.
It was better not to provoke her.
Having witnessed the director team’s series of cold-hearted actions from the morning, everyone arrived quite early for the gathering this time.
Upon seeing the neat and uniform line of people, Director Sun nodded in approval.
“Not bad, not bad, that looks more like it.”
“Help, these people look like they’re in military training.”
“Isn’t that just like military training, no, wait, they’re hoeing and cooking; military training isn’t even this exhausting. I feel sorry for them for a second.”
“Director Sun kind of looks like that old father figure.”
Yawning, Wen Jiaojiao said, “Director, just spill it, how are you planning to torment us this afternoon?”
Director Sun feigned seriousness, “How could it be torment? I am here to temper your willpower.”
Jiang Li smiled for a moment, breaking her usual silence, “Why doesn’t the director come and temper his willpower with us?”
The smile on Director Sun’s face disappeared in an instant, and he coughed twice, unnaturally covering his mouth with his hand before abruptly changing the subject.
“Well… let me get straight to the point, props team, bring out the gear.”
As everyone looked on in confusion, a deafening rumbling noise suddenly came from a small path nearby.
A truck-style machine pulling a flute slowly made its way over.
Jiang Yan’s eyes widened, “That vehicle looks cool, it suits this young master’s style.”
Wen Jiaojiao looked puzzledly at Director Sun, “Director, why did you have someone bring over a go-kart?”
Director Sun: “…”
“That’s not a go-kart, it’s a tractor-style plowing machine.”
Qi Tianyu, who was the first to react, exclaimed, “Director, you’re not saying we’re going to continue hoeing this afternoon, are you?”
Director Sun gave a thumbs-up, “You’re as sharp as ever, Qi. Indeed.”
“The theme for today is pioneering. This morning you merely weeded the experimental field, so, of course, the next task is plowing.”
“I’ve seen everyone’s hard work this morning, so this afternoon, I’ve upgraded your props to a higher grade.”
Upon hearing this, Shu Yan got somewhat excited, “So, we can drive the go-kart to plow the fields?”
Director Sun: “….”
“Let me emphasize once again, this is a tractor, not a go-kart!”
“HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA”
“I have a feeling Sister Yan is doing this on purpose.”
“Where did the crew find this plowing machine? I have to say, it’s pretty cool.”
“Wait a minute, although Director Sun says so, I still smell a hint of conspiracy.”
Sure enough, Director Sun’s tone shifted the next second, “Of course, there is no such thing as a free lunch, driving the go-kart, bah, the tractor, isn’t without a cost.”
As he said this, he shot a meaningful glance at Jiang Li.
Jiang Yan immediately caught the look and turned to blame Jiang Li.
“It’s all because you only know how to scheme against me every day. See, even the director has learned from you.”
Jiang Li gave him a look, “So why haven’t you learned anything?”
Jiang Yan: ?
“HAHAHAHA I might really die laughing from this pair of siblings one day.”
“Jiang Li: Born from the same mother, why are you so dumb?”
“Seriously, are Jiang Li and Jiang Yan really siblings? Why are they so different in character?”
“It’s all because Jiang Li knows how to pretend. I’ve told you before, those scandals online show her true nature, but no one believes me until now.”
“Director Sun, just tell us straight,” Shu Yan said, “how many points does it cost to exchange for this go-kart? It can’t be ten points, can it?”
“How could that be?” Director Sun shook his head, extending one finger, “Just one point is enough.”
“One point?” They all exclaimed in unison.
Jiang Yan immediately stepped forward, “I have one point, quick, quick, quick, give me the go-kart.”
Having suffered from weeding by hand, he didn’t want to rely solely on hard labor anymore.
