Chapter 68 - 68: Seeing Through Everything
[Sister Meng’s tactics are indeed useful. Looks like Lu Jinsen has already learned the essence of this tactic.]
[Someday, I’ll use this method to test my husband and see if he’s lying to me.] [Director: Even this trash can guess the answer. This game can’t be played anymore.]
Lu Jinsen was stunned when he saw the director’s hopeless reaction. He could not believe that he had guessed correctly.
When it came to the second round, the director started to get serious. Because the other party was Lu Jinsen, he would lose face if he did not win a round.
From his observations, the director determined that Lu Jinsen was the crude type and he felt that he must have been spouting nonsense just now.
In order to prove that his judgment was correct, the director sat up straight and gently patted the table. He gestured. “Come, guess again. Tell me which cup is salt water now?”
Lu Jinsen was stunned by the director’s domineering tone and suddenly seemed to have lost his ability to make judgements.
Seeing that the director had suddenly turned the tables, Meng Chuyuan, who was watching the commotion from the side, egged Lu Jinsen on, “Make a bold guess. It’s not a big deal.”
However, in this kind of situation it was actually easier to make a guess. It was also easier for the other party to reveal the answer. The only worry was that Lu Jinsen would not be able to change his answer in time after he probed the director, because if he guessed wrongly at the beginning, the director might get excited and end the game there.
The other guests also told Lu Jinsen not to hesitate. It was fine as long as he chose blindly. In any case, he only had two chances left. It would not affect him much.
Lu Jinsen listened to their words and casually pointed at a glass.
The director lowered his head and saw that he had chosen pure water. The corners of his lips curled up, and his eyes revealed a sly glint. “Wrong, this is pure water.”
‘ He didn’t know why he was so happy.
[Perhaps only Lu Jinsen can cure the director’s daily emo hours.]
[Director: I finally look like a director. I also have programs that you guys can’t guess, alright?]
[You learned this tactic from Sister Meng. Young Master, go ahead. Don’t embarrass your Sister-in-law in front of the director!]
[Sister Meng says that this kid hasn’t finished his apprenticeship yet. He’s still young. Don’t bully him.]
[This director can’t find his presence with Sister Meng and is starting to play with Young Master. I suddenly feel that the two of them are so childish. They’re like two arguing primary school students who want to compete.]
With Lu Jinsen’s mistake, the director had probably become a little arrogant.
Once again, he mixed the order of the cups. After confirming the location, the director called Lu Jinsen over.
“If you can choose the salt water, I’ll drink it directly.” Lu Jinsen did not understand why he was doing this.
It was just a game. Why was he so serious?
As the two of them competed, Meng Chuyuan ate the remaining half of the apple.
[Sister Meng looks like a bystander at this moment.]
[Why is the director betting so much on the game? If Lu Jinsen chooses correctly, won’t he be digging a hole for himself?]
[Lu Jinsen: How could someone be so stupid as to make such a bet?]
[Director Luo, this is quite a variety show. Hahaha. Can you promise me not to cut this scene out after the post-production?]
The director raised his eyebrows as if victory was in his grasp. “Choose.”
Under the director’s urging, Lu Jinsen fell into hesitation again. He panicked as he listened to the director recite the countdown.
Suddenly, he remembered that Meng Chuyuan had said to judge based on the director’s gaze. He struggled a little in his heart and then looked up at the director decisively.
When the director met Lu Jinsen’s gaze, he looked back in confusion.
Lu Jinsen bent down and deliberately placed his hand on the cup. When the director saw this from the corner of his eye, he focused his attention on the cup on the table.
Seeing that the director’s emotions did not change much, Lu Jinsen’s hand quickly changed direction just as he was about to count to one.
The director raised his head and looked at Lu Jinsen expressionlessly. Then, without a word, he slapped his hand away and picked up the glass to drink.
Lu Jinsen:
The salt water was really salty. The director only took a small sip and his face contorted into an emoticon.
[Looks like Young Master chose the salt water.]
[The trick that Sister Meng taught is useful. Of course, the director is also a failure. He doesn’t even know how to act and was seen through immediately.]
[The director is also a simple-minded person. If I were him, I would directly deny it. Anyway, they don’t know the real outcome.]
[The sisters in front make a lot of sense. Hahaha, the director is also strange and honest.]
However, he was the director after all. No one had any intention of making things difficult for him. They just wanted him to show some appreciation.
After playing two games, night had quietly fallen.
Everyone chose their ingredients according to how many times they won in the game. When Meng Chuyuan saw the seafood box, she could not help but squint. She suddenly felt a sense of familiarity.
Meng Chuyuan was not in a hurry to choose. Instead, she looked up at the director and asked suspiciously, “Director, is this box of seafood the batch we made this morning?”
Seeing the mantis shrimps and clams, Liao Jiake was also surprised. “I think so too.”
They had picked up a lot of clams in the morning and caught a lot of crabs, small fish, and prawns. They were all here.
Initially, the director wanted to find an excuse to fool her, but Liao Jiake spoke up, making him unable to deny it.
The director said guiltily, “Don’t waste it.”
“We brought this back together. Is it appropriate for you to exhaust us like
Meng Chuyuan suddenly seemed to have figured it out.
How was this barbecue a service from the production team? They probably saw that they had harvested too much food in the morning and decided to recycle it here.
[“Don’t be wasteful”, these four words. The director sure is putting what he has just learnt to use, hahaha.]
[We can hear the director’s little schemes from here.]
[Why is the director digging a hole for himself again? He actually dares to play these petty tricks in front of Sister Meng. Does he think she’s a three-year-old child?!]
[Just watching Sister Meng and the director fight for this episode is enough to make me laugh for a year.]
[They did not have many opportunities to make their choices to begin with. Now, they still have to waste their chances to choose to fight for these. Sister
Meng will definitely not be convinced.]
The director said, “Didn’t I pay you with the labor coins this afternoon? There’s no problem with our deal.”
He used labor coins to exchange for everyone’s ingredients. Now, this batch of seafood belonged to the production team. He could use it however he wanted.
“You’ve done a good job with this diversionary tactic.”
In the morning, he asked them to prepare these small fish and prawns. Then, he prepared a new batch of seafood for their lunch ingredients and asked them to exchange them for labor coins.
Meng Chuyuan looked at the director in admiration. “Alright, then don’t use labor coins to fool us next time.. If we earned the food through our own hard work, we’ll just bring it back, wouldn’t that be better?”
