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

Just then, the sound of footsteps approaching came from outside the living room.

Director Wang Zheng walked in with his assistant.

"Welcome, teachers, to the first stop of our fourth season of 'Wandering Diary'—the Tranquil Sea." Wang Zheng's voice clearly echoed throughout the living room through his personal microphone.

"For the next seven days, this building under your feet will be your temporary home."

"Now that everyone is here, according to our show's usual procedure, we'll proceed with the first segment, which is the room assignment game." Wang Zheng's face revealed a somewhat malicious smile.

"However, considering that all the teachers have just gotten off the plane and have had a long journey, this part will be cancelled out of humanitarian considerations." He then changed the subject.

Humanitarianism? Does the name Wang Zheng really have anything to do with you?

[Impossible, absolutely impossible, it's definitely a scam!]

[What's that the assistant next to me holding? I have a feeling it's something serious!]

"So, let's move directly to the room allocation process," Wang Zheng said, glancing at his assistant.

The assistant immediately stepped forward and showed six identical white envelopes in his hand.

"Each envelope contains a key card for a room. You will stay in the room that corresponds to the number of the key card you draw."

"The rooms are basically the same size and configuration, only the location is different. Rooms No. 1 and No. 2 are on the first floor, and the other four are on the second floor."

"Teachers, look, who wants to draw first?" Wang Zheng asked with a smile, scanning the crowd.

The living room fell silent for a moment.

Cheng Che didn't react much, he just watched quietly.

However, he noticed that the other guests exchanged glances and then looked at Yan Lei, who was sitting in the "main seat".

The entertainment industry is indeed "strictly regulated"... he thought to himself.

"Why are you all looking at me? Are you trying to dump the problem on me?" Yan Lei was quite satisfied with everyone's reaction and said with a smile.

"Alright, let's not make it too complicated. I think we should just draw them from left to right in order. What do you all think?" He glanced at both sides briefly before making the suggestion.

Shen Han immediately smiled and agreed, "No objection, Teacher Yan's arrangements are very thoughtful."

The others nodded in agreement.

"Okay, let's start from left to right."

After Wang Zheng finished speaking, he glanced at his assistant, who understood immediately. The assistant walked up to Xu Anan and Xia Ziyi and laid out the six envelopes in a fan shape.

Xu Anan remained calm and casually pulled out the one on the far right.

Xia Ziyi then extended her meticulously manicured fingers and tapped them lightly on several envelopes, muttering under her breath, "Commanding troops, riding horses into battle..."

Finally, she took the one on the far left and whispered to Xu Anan with a hint of pride, "Mine is definitely better."

[It seems like Sister Xia is performing some kind of new metaphysical ritual, but I don't know what its purpose is.]

[Nan Nan: Calm down.jpg]

Then it was Shen Han's turn. He smiled gently at his assistant and then took out an envelope.

[Hanhan's smile is so gentle! If I were his assistant, my heart would probably race and I'd faint!]

That's a heart attack!

The assistant then turned to Yan Lei, who laughed and said, "Just pick one at random."

After saying that, he took the middle one of the remaining three envelopes.

[Teacher Yan: I'll just pick one at random (directly takes the envelope in the center).]

Anyone who owns a dog knows that dogs with darker skin tones are often the most cunning, and the same goes for people with darker skin tones.

[Hahaha, I'm going to die laughing because of all these comments sooner or later!]

Finally, the assistant walked up to Tian Xiwei and Cheng Che with the last remaining envelope.

Tian Xiwei took the one on the left, so the one on the right naturally belonged to Cheng Che.

You know what, even though these two just met, the atmosphere between them is strangely harmonious.

[As an ordinary person, Cheng Che's looks are surprisingly striking! He wasn't overshadowed even when standing next to someone with Xiao Tian's god-like looks?]

"Teacher Cheng, this is for you," the assistant said.

"Thank you." Cheng Che nodded, took the envelope from the assistant, and squeezed it through the outer skin.

The thickness of this card suggests there must be something else besides the key card. Is it some kind of mission card...? He wondered to himself.

"Teachers, you may now open the envelopes," Wang Zheng's voice rang out at the opportune moment.

Then, a series of rustling sounds of letters being opened echoed in the living room.

Cheng Che opened the envelope and first poured out a black key card with the number "6" on it.

He put the key card in his pocket and pulled two pieces of paper out of the envelope.

The first card is a hard card with a round, yellow object drawn in a cartoon style on it, and three lines of text written below:

[tǔ dòu]

[Potato]

[potato]

Cheng Che: "...?"

He stared at the card in his hand, stunned for a full two seconds, before smiling with relief.

Okay, okay, you're going to play with something so abstract, huh?

No wonder your variety show is so popular, who can compete with you guys?

【？？？？？？？】

[Hahahaha, I sprayed water all over the screen!]

[Shen Jin, you made me laugh!]

Help! I felt like my brain had gone blank when I saw the words above!

[666 Preschool education is here! Wang Zheng, did you cut up your son's flashcards?]

Cheng Che then looked at the second piece of paper, on which were written a few lines of small characters:

"Welcome to the recording of the fourth season of 'Wandering Diary'. The basic rules for this season are as follows:"

「1、节目每天的录製时间为：8:00-22:00，录製期间嘉宾禁止使用个人手机，需要统一更换为赞助商提供的vigo手机。」

"2. Daily living allowance: 50 yuan per person. This covers food and other daily expenses, and allows guests to cooperate or share resources freely."

"3. The production team will release some tasks or games from time to time, from which guests can win extra funds or resources."

Fifty yuan a day... Cheng Che stroked his chin.

At first glance, a daily budget of only fifty yuan for traveling seems a bit pitiful.

However, the program team has already covered the accommodation issue, and with fifty yuan a day, it's more than enough to cover at least three meals a day.

If planned properly, it's not impossible to order takeout three times a day.

Of course, if you really want to "travel", you'll have to work hard to earn the mission rewards.

[Only fifty a day? That's too little; it'll be gone in one afternoon tea session!]

[Exactly, is the production team abusing him? Why should my brother have to suffer like this?!]

[Don't go too far with the preceding statements. Does your brother really need to eat meat and fish at every meal?]

[The three girls haven't even said anything yet, and you've already started calling out for your master!]

Fifty isn't enough? Twenty or thirty a day is enough if you cook for yourself!

Cheng Che quickly read through the rules, checked the envelope again, and after finding nothing missing, looked up at Wang Zheng.

The rules have been explained, but what is the purpose of this "Potato Card"?

It couldn't possibly be to help him with his early education, could it?

Cheng Che glanced to his right and saw Tian Xiwei looking down at the cartoon cards in her hand, slightly lost in thought.

Her card had a similar round, but bright red, object on it:

[fān qié]

[tomato]

[tamato]

Seemingly noticing Cheng Che's gaze, Tian Xiwei looked up.

Their eyes met briefly as they looked at the cartoon cards in each other's hands, and in the end, neither of them could help but laugh.

Cheng Che turned to look at the others, but due to the angle, he could only see the cards in Xu Anan and Shen Han's hands.

The former is an "egg", and the latter is a "chicken leg".

Potatoes, tomatoes, eggs, chicken legs—these are all ingredients…

Could it be...?

Cheng Che's gaze then turned to Yan Lei, who was sitting in the center. This famous "culinary god" in the entertainment industry was also holding a card and had a meaningful smile on his face.

Cheng Che suddenly realized something.

Since we have a "master chef", there must be space to showcase him!
