Variety shows are crazy but don't cause internal conflict; I'm proud to drive others crazy

Chapter 16: Let's give the director a little thrill.

Jiang Nanxi thought for a moment and asked, "What about Li Zhengtao?"

"He's gone and won't be participating in the filming. I'll be assigning today's tasks later."

"Ok."

Jiang Nanxi went back to continue eating hairy crabs.

Although the director allowed Jiang Nanxi to stay, her actions were broadcast live, and netizens immediately criticized her, making her a trending topic on social media.

#JiangNanxi has no manners
#Jiang Nanxi disrespects her seniors
#My heart aches for Senior Li

Jiang Nanxi already had a lot of haters, and this incident has only made them more numerous.

Li Zhengtao didn't say anything in public, but he secretly made several phone calls to the director, asking him to remove Jiang Nanxi from the cast.

The director also felt that Jiang Nanxi was a ticking time bomb, causing trouble everywhere, and he wanted to remove her from the show.

However, Liu Qingyan, the national white moonlight movie star, said that if Jiang Nanxi leaves, he will not film anymore!

Jiang Nanxi is just a nobody, so whether she leaves or not is a small matter. But if Liu Qingyan, with his status, were to leave inexplicably, his fans would chase after him and hurl insults at him for years.

Besides, the Liu family is one of the top wealthy families in the capital. The variety show "Retreating to the Countryside" also has the Liu family's investment behind it. He dares not offend his financial backer!
The director was caught in the middle and had to let Jiang Nanxi continue filming, but he was very resentful.

In the afternoon, when assigning tasks, the director gave Jiang Nanxi and Li Chu's team the most difficult task to complete.

Director: "Today's mission is a props mission. Each team will receive props, and then they need to complete the mission based on the props to earn points."

After the director finished speaking, he had the staff distribute a black plastic bag to each team, and the props were placed inside the black plastic bags.

Shen Lan X Song Wanwan: Gong
Liu Qingyan X Song Shixing: Suona
Jiang Nanxi X Li Chu: Black stockings

Seeing the props of the other teams, Jiang Nanxi pulled out the black stockings from the plastic bag and couldn't help but question a seemingly innocent director, "Director, are you targeting our team? Why are everyone else's props musical instruments? Why are we stuck with black stockings, and torn ones at that!"

Li Chu also complained, "Today's task is to obtain money based on the props, and the amount of money you exchange will be converted into points proportionally. Everyone else has musical instruments, which they can take to the streets to perform, or if that doesn't work, they can sell their instruments for money."

"We're wearing black stockings, and they're ripped black stockings at that! How are we supposed to make money? What if we put them on and get arrested for doing something indecent?! Director, you're so despicable!"

The director looked innocent and bewildered. "I didn't know. I just sent it out randomly. How was I supposed to know you'd pick the black stockings?"

The two of them were speechless and didn't say anything.

The director added, "If you think this mission is too difficult to complete, you can choose to give up. Didn't you earn a lot of points yesterday? You were way ahead of everyone else, so it's okay if you don't get any points today."

Jiang Nanxi: "..."

Li Chu: "..."

The director sent everyone off to do a task.

As Shen Lan passed by Jiang Nanxi, she saw the black stockings in their hands and mocked, "These black stockings have so many holes in them, wearing them makes you look like a prostitute."

Although we had a disagreement, I still want to kindly remind you that it's best not to wear those black stockings, otherwise netizens will laugh at you even more. People who don't know better might think you're here on a TV show doing prostitution.

Jiang Nanxi turned to look at him.

Shen Lan chuckled and said, "It's just a matter of points. As female celebrities, you don't need to sacrifice so much for points, do you? It's better to give up today's task."

After saying this, Shen Lan quickly pulled Song Wanwan away, afraid that Jiang Nanxi would pull out another toothpick and call him "Toothpick Brother" again. Once they were in a secluded spot, Shen Lan said to Song Wanwan, "For the sake of the female celebrities' image, they definitely can't do their task today! If they wear black stockings to do the task, they'll be ridiculed by netizens for a whole year, and there will be negative news about them!"

Song Wanwan smiled, a hint of schadenfreude in her eyes. "It seems the director doesn't want Jiang Nanxi to stay on set and is deliberately making things difficult for them."

They only have a little over a hundred points right now, which isn't a huge lead. If we just earn a few hundred yuan from our performances, we can overtake them today.”

"Yes, let's hurry up and get on the mission."

Shen Lan and Song Wanwan ran away excitedly.

Liu Qingyan stood still.

He stared at the black stockings in Jiang Nanxi's hand for a moment, then turned to look at the director. His clear, cold phoenix eyes were unusually icy, which startled the director.

The director quickly explained to him, "Teacher Liu, this is really random. If your team draws the black stockings, you'll still have to use them to complete the task."

"We're filming a TV show, not playing house. We need to do something exciting and challenging to keep the audience interested, don't you think?"

Liu Qingyan suddenly said, "I'll trade my suona to them."

director:? ? ?
Song Shixing: !!!

Song Shixing, as a teammate, was the first to shout, "I disagree! How can we do a mission with black stockings? How can a grown man like me wear black stockings!"

The director quickly said, "No, no, we can't change it. That doesn't follow the rules of the game."

Jiang Nanxi stared at Liu Qingyan for a while, somewhat surprised that he would speak up for her. However, she didn't need his help.

Jiang Nanxi told them directly, "No need, it's just black stockings, right? I can still complete the mission!"

After she finished speaking, she gave the director a sinister smile and said, "Director, you like excitement, right? I'll give you something exciting, I guarantee the show will be a hit."

director:?
When the director saw Jiang Nanxi let out a villainous "hehehe" laugh, he felt a sudden unease and a sense of foreboding.

What...what does she want to do?
However, her prop is just a pair of black stockings, so she probably can't do anything outrageous, right?
Are Jiang Nanxi and Li Chu really planning to wear these ripped black stockings? They look a bit tacky.

I'm truly fed up with this show. Although I find Jiang Nanxi annoying, did the director really need to humiliate her with this kind of task-based approach?

[Director, are you out of your mind to let female celebrities appear on your show wearing black stockings and engaging in suggestive behavior? Targeting that lunatic Jiang Nanxi is one thing, but why drag our Li Chu into it?!]

Because of the director's idiotic actions, the comments section, which was initially filled with criticism of Jiang Nanxi, has now become half criticizing Jiang Nanxi for being rude and the other half criticizing the director for being vulgar.

The director knew he would be criticized for this behavior, but he had no choice. He just wanted to make Jiang Nanxi, this crazy woman, back down!
The director, after seeing the online criticism, went to drink some tea to calm himself down. "Why are they criticizing me? Jiang Nanxi could have chosen not to do the tasks and quit the show. This girl is so good at stirring up trouble. Do you know how hard it is for me to protect my show! I've offended people on both sides!"

After muttering to himself, the director gulped down another mouthful of tea to ease his frustrated emotions.

I just rested for a while.

Suddenly, he saw a staff member rush over shouting, "Director, something terrible has happened! Jiang Nanxi and Li Chu have put black stockings over their heads and are robbing a convenience store!"

"puff……!"

The director spat out the tea he was drinking, completely dumbfounded. "You... what did you say?"

Please vote for me! I'll be updating once a day for now, but once it's officially released, I can update twice a day! (^з^)
