I'm a web novelist, and you want me to work in the entertainment industry?

The streets of the ancient town in Jiangnan were bathed in the crisp, clear sunlight of early autumn.

The old house with its white walls and black tiles was not yet fully awake; a gentle breeze rippled across its surface.

The six people walked down the street at a leisurely pace; setting aside the towering figure, they looked more like college students on an autumn outing.

It all started this morning when they gathered together, and Wang Zheng announced something.

That's because this stop has abundant resources, and there's no shortage of food and drink, so the production team decided not to provide any extra funds to the guests through any tasks.

So if they want to make money, there's only one way left—

Go out to work.

"What should we do today?" Xia Ziyi asked, walking at the front.

She walked backwards facing the crowd, with her hands behind her back, dressing herself up as an adult.

"I think I can find a place to perform my talents!" Henry Lau raised his hand. "I can sing, and I can play the piano!"

He knew that when he recorded variety shows, the audience laughed at him, calling him the landlord's silly goose.

However, when he sings and performs, the audience always praises him for being amazing!

"That's a good idea, Dahua, you can put it into practice when the time comes," Yan Lei agreed.

"As for me, I plan to find a job in a restaurant," he continued. "If I show off my skills, finding a job shouldn't be too difficult."

He was quite confident—as a master chef, he thought that if he showed off his skills even slightly, the bosses would be begging him to work for them!

"As for me, I would probably make some handmade jewelry and try to sell it," Xu Anan offered a rather pragmatic idea.

"I'm about the same," Tian Xiwei echoed.

I think all four of your ideas are great, but what about Xia Jie, who's a complete idiot—can't sing, can't cook, and isn't very skillful?

[...The one upstairs is considered a white piece.]

Why are all the ideas so simple and uninspired? Can't we add some entertainment value?

[Some brothers are here, some are here. The idea king next to him hasn't said a word yet, just you wait and see.]

"Cheng Che, what do you think?" After listening to everyone's plans, Xia Ziyi felt that none of them were suitable for her.

She finally looked at Cheng Che, who had remained silent and seemed to be deep in thought.

After she finished asking the question, everyone looked at Cheng Che.

Cheng Che snapped out of his reverie upon hearing Xia Jie's question.

"I do have an idea," he said, stroking his chin, "but the problem is, you can't replicate it."

"Why are you like this?" Xia Ziyi visibly wilted.

Others were also greatly disappointed.

"But then again—" Cheng Che changed the subject.

The others immediately perked up.

The comments section was incredibly impressive:

[666 Che-ge, why are you acting like such a boss on this show!]

There's no way around it; you may not trust Che's character, but you have to trust his ideas.

Who could resist listening to Che Ge's ideas when teaming up with him?

[Essentially a demon, essentially a fun-loving person, essentially a genius, essentially a master of ideas.]

"I think we can do some collaborations and partnerships, which should increase our earning efficiency, right?" Cheng Che said.

……

……

Ten minutes later, the six split into two groups.

Among them, Liu Xianhua and Yan Lei were in a group and embarked on a journey to find a restaurant.

Halfway down the road, we didn't find a restaurant, but we did come across a charming little teahouse.

Yan Lei immediately had an idea.

"Dahua, let's go to this teahouse," he said.

He is a tea connoisseur and naturally a tea brewer. With his tea brewing skills, it would be easy for him to be noticed.

In addition, there are often musical performances in the teahouse, and Henry Lau is a musical talent who can play many instruments, so his chances of being noticed are very high.

After going back and forth like this, the task of making money is accomplished!

"What should we say when they go in?" Liu Xianhua asked.

"No need to say anything, just show us. Strength is the best resume." Yan Lei straightened his collar and strode confidently into the store.

He approached the boss, briefly explained his purpose, and said that his tea skills were superb, hoping the boss would give him a chance.

The boss was a middle-aged man who originally wanted to refuse, but seeing how confident Yan Lei was, he thought he was a hidden master in the city, so he asked him to brew a pot of tea and see.

Yes, it's brewed with Teacher Yan's favorite Longjing tea.

However, due to a combination of factors such as "I'm not familiar with this tea table," "The temperature in Hangzhou today is affecting me," and "I didn't eat enough breakfast this morning," I was unable to make it.

Teacher Yan accidentally burned her hand, which led to her being rejected by the boss.

Teacher Yan's face darkened; he considered him a "talented horse," but unfortunately, the boss was not a "talent scout."

The good news is that the owner of the teahouse loves music, and employees play gentle tunes on the spot every day.

Today, the employee responsible for playing the instrument happened to be on leave, and Liu Xianhua, relying on his extraordinary musical talent, gained the boss's approval.

"Wow, impressive, young man! You're so young, I never imagined you could play so many instruments! You're a musical prodigy!" The boss patted Liu Xianhua on the shoulder, very satisfied.

"Oh dear, I'm not as amazing as you make me out to be." Henry Lau was very happy to be praised.

"Alright, you can stay here!" the boss said, then looked at Yan Lei, whose expression wasn't pleasant, and slapped his forehead.

"Sorry, I forgot about you. You two are together, right?" the boss said.

"Well then, for the sake of this young man, you can stay and help out with odd jobs and such."

[The bonus story about how I went from being a tea master to a musical prodigy.]

[Hahaha, the most undignified episode ever!]

If we compare a teahouse to a bucket of instant noodles, then the shop is the bucket, the tea is the noodles, Dahua is the seasoning, and Teacher Yan is the disposable chopsticks.

I understand what you mean. Since there's already a fork in the bucket, buying this is not only redundant but also wasteful.

……

……

The other group consisted of four people: Cheng, Tian, ​​Xia, and Xu.

Cheng Che was the only one with funds, so Tian Xiwei and Xu Anan borrowed some money from him to buy some basic materials at a general store to make handmade jewelry.

Cheng Che bought a marker for himself, and before leaving, he asked the shop owner for a piece of cardboard about six times the size of Xia Jie's head.

The group of four then stopped on a bench under a willow tree.

"The preparations are almost done," Cheng Che said. "Xiao Tian and Nan, you two quietly do your crafts while I write the sign."

"Okay." Tian Xiwei and Xu Anan nodded.

"What about me? What about me?" Xia Ziyi asked anxiously from the side.

You all have things to do, so what am I supposed to do?

"Sister Xia, don't worry." Cheng Che smiled mysteriously, "You'll have something to do later."

"Alright then." Xia Ziyi quieted down.

Cheng Che picked up a marker, thought for a moment, and began to write on the cardboard.
