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

The three members of Group B froze on the spot, as if someone had pressed the pause button.

Do you want all forty-three jin?

Did happiness come so suddenly?

【No, shortchanging? Am I drunk and hallucinating?】

Wait, wait, what is this? Am I getting sleepy in the middle of the day?

Who is this person? Another shill? What's the purpose of buying so many figs?

[I don't know, this person is wrapped up even more tightly than the previous shills, you can't see their face at all!]

Seeing the three people standing there in a daze, the man seemed quite satisfied with their reaction.

He calmly raised his hand and took off his mask and baseball cap.

A face was revealed—Tian Xiwei and Cheng Che were quite familiar with each other, and Xu Anan had also seen her online several times.

"Why are you all still standing there dumbfounded?" Grandpa Xie grinned, tapping his stall with his index finger. "Are you even going to do business anymore?"

"If you don't want to do it, I'll just buy it from that stall across the street," he said, pointing in the direction of Group A.

The surprise on Xu Anan and Cheng Che's faces turned into astonishment.

Tian Xiwei's mouth dropped open in shock, her expression clearly showing she'd seen a ghost.

【？？？？？？？？】

[Holy crap, the top spender is here! No wonder his extravagant spending style seemed so familiar!]

[The old man must have come for Xiaotian and Cheng Che! As soon as he heard they'd close up shop once they sold out, he immediately bought the rest!]

Did I miss something? Am I the only one who doesn't recognize this old man?

[As if asking you to review Xiaotian and Cheng Che's live stream yesterday is a crime against you! This guy is the villager who treated Xiaotian and Cheng Che to a seafood feast yesterday and gave them a bunch of gifts!]

"No, sir, what brings you here?" Tian Xiwei was both surprised and delighted.

The old man had covered his face so well, and he seemed to have deliberately changed his voice, that she didn't recognize him at all.

"I've come to buy figs," Grandpa Xie said matter-of-factly. "I gave you the rest of the figs yesterday, and I was thinking that I didn't have any figs left to dry at home, so I thought I'd come out and buy some."

"I was watching the live stream and saw that you two were selling figs while filming a show. I figured the place wasn't too far, so I drove over."

The old man adjusted his sunglasses, a proud look on his face: "I've bought all the fruit you have. You can go straight back to your villa now, no need to thank me!"

"Sir, do you really want that much?" Cheng Che asked from the side. "Can you finish it all by yourself?"

"So what if we can't finish it?" The old man looked at him strangely. "We can just give it away later."

Okay, you're amazing.

Money talks!

"Come on, come on!" Cheng Che waved his hand. "Pack it up for my top donor!"

The three of them worked together to pack the figs displayed on the stall into boxes.

It filled four boxes, each weighing ten pounds, for a total of forty pounds.

Cheng Che wanted to put the remaining three pounds into a plastic bag, but the old man waved his hand and said, "I don't want these three pounds. You can keep them for yourselves."

Xu Anan was unaware of the old man's arrogance and hesitated.

But Tian Xiwei and Cheng Che already understood.

"Alright, then we won't stand on ceremony with you, sir." Cheng Che nodded, knowing that the old man really didn't need these few coins.

It was given to you by the top donor, so just take it!

[666, first buy 43 jin of figs to help Group B finish work, then send 3 jin of figs back. This guy is really giving away his wealth!]

[The old man probably really likes Xiaotian and Cheng Che; he spoils them rotten!]

[It's understandable, after all, (chewing) these two are really adorable. Who did the research on these two (chewing)?]

[Nan Nan has basically won without lifting a finger, while Xia Jie next door is still out eating with Yan Lei and Shen Han and hasn't come back yet.]

[Hahahaha, when the three neighbors come back and see what's happening, the sky will have fallen!]

The three of them, along with Grandpa Xie, each carrying a box, delivered the figs to Grandpa Xie's car—a bright red car that perfectly matched his free-spirited nature…

Three-wheeled vehicle.

"I'll stop here. I'm heading back now," the old man said from outside the car door.

"So soon?" Tian Xiwei said, "Sir, would you like to come to our villa for a visit? Director Wang should agree!"

The old man certainly put on quite a show, as Wang Zheng witnessed yesterday. If it was just a casual visit, he definitely wouldn't stop him.

"Forget it," the old man said, scratching a few strands of white hair on his head. "Don't let it interfere with your recording later."

"Alright, sir, please drive carefully on your way back!"

"You're going to Plum!" the old man said in a foreign language as he got on the bus.

"Boom boom boom boom—"

With the iconic roar of a three-wheeled vehicle engine, Uncle Bang, who had come and gone in a hurry, left.

The three watched the red three-wheeled motorcycle disappear around the street corner with a "bang bang bang" sound, and stood there for a while.

A summer breeze blew by, swirling up a few fallen leaves in front of the stall.

Tian Xiwei was the first to come to her senses. She blinked and looked down at her empty hands—the feeling of holding the box was still lingering on her fingertips, but the fig had already been taken away by the old man and his three-wheeled vehicle.

"So..." she began slowly, "we're... over?"

Xu Anan also stared blankly at the spot behind her—where there used to be several boxes stacked, now only an empty table and a few fallen fig leaves remained.

This job... ended way too easily, didn't it?

Her gaze towards Xiaotian and Cheng Che softened even more—it was all thanks to them!

She knew it; girls who love shipping couples are bound to have good luck!

"It's over. We can go back to the villa and enjoy the air conditioning now," Cheng Che said.

The three of them quickly packed up their stall and prepared to leave.

Before leaving, Cheng Che glanced at Wang Zheng, who was still munching on watermelon, and said, "Director Wang, we're going back to enjoy the air conditioning! Please take care of yourself while you're out there, and don't get sunburned!"

After saying that, he left with the two girls.

Sitting under the awning, Wang Zheng listened to Cheng Che's provocative words, his lips twitched, and he suddenly felt that the watermelon in his hand no longer tasted good.

He felt it was necessary to put exposing Cheng Che's true colors back on the agenda.

……

……

About ten minutes later.

After the three members of Group A had eaten and drunk their fill, they returned to the market entrance.

Shen Han was carrying a bag of popsicles and distributing them to the crew members one by one.

"Huh? Where did Nan Nan and the others go?" Xia Ziyi was also holding an ice pop, and seemed to have recovered her mood.

"Where did you go shopping again?" Yan Lei smiled faintly.

After all, they are three young people, unlike him who has perseverance. It's normal that they can't sit still and go out to wander around.

"Ahem." Wang Zheng then picked up the megaphone, "Welcome back to the three teachers from Group A."

"I have some news to share with you—while you were out for dinner, the three members of Group B sold out fifty kilograms of figs and went back to the villa to rest early."

"I regret to inform you that you have lost this sales event."

"...?"

Shen Han's hand, which was handing out popsicles, froze in mid-air.

Xia Ziyi's face fell again.

Yan Lei could no longer laugh.

People's joys and sorrows are not shared; they only found Wang Zheng noisy.
