Yang Yi helped Shen Shuyu feed the pigs, successfully completing the task.

Meanwhile, Lin Weiwei also successfully completed her task with Zhou Linzhe's help.

Though the task had been completed through plenty of twists and turns.

Lin Weiwei did not know how to herd ducks, and Zhou Linzhe, a young master, knew even less.

Before this, Zhou Linzhe had never even seen a live duck.

Oh, he had seen pet ducks.

One of Zhou Linzhe's friends had once kept a pet duck that cost tens of thousands to buy.

That friend had treated it like a treasure, carrying it around every day and even taking it out for walks.

So in Zhou Linzhe's mind, ducks were supposed to be like that—clean and clingy.

Then he suddenly saw this flock of meat ducks, noisy and filthy, pooping everywhere.

Zhou Linzhe's expression changed instantly. The livestream viewers watched as he wore a smile one second, then gagged the next, looking like he might throw up at any moment.

[Good lord! Is it really that powerful?]

[I've never herded ducks, but I've raised them. They really stink! And they poop everywhere! You can't train them at all!]

[I'm curious, why did the person above raise ducks? Did you raise them to eat yourselves?]

[No... I actually wanted to buy a pet duck, but I got scammed. Only after bringing it home did I find out it was just an ordinary meat duck...]

[Hahahaha!!!]

[I raised ducks when I was little too. I was very young then, and when I saw how cute ducklings were, I kept begging to raise some. My parents had no choice but to buy me a few. Ducklings are cute, but once they grow up, they're not cute at all. In the end, those ducks inevitably ended up on my family's dinner table. (covers face)]

[Holy crap! You could bear to eat ducks you raised yourself? That's so brutal!]

[No, no! I only had enthusiasm for about three minutes. Later, I realized ducklings were cute but hard to raise. I had to clean up their poop too, so I stopped taking care of them. My parents were the ones who fed them.]

[But still... duck meat really is so delicious, sob sob sob!]

Whether they had raised ducks before or not, everyone could not help laughing at Zhou Linzhe's reaction to the ducks.

When Lin Weiwei saw his reaction, her heart skipped a beat.

"Young Master Zhou, are you okay? Why don't we forget it? I can do it myself." I can't! I absolutely can't!

Lin Weiwei screamed inwardly in despair, but outwardly, she could only put on a brave front and act understanding.

How could Zhou Linzhe give up such a chance to impress Lin Weiwei?

Besides, this was all being filmed. If he backed down now, he would not be able to save face.

"It's fine. I just need to get used to it. I've... never experienced this before." Zhou Linzhe's face had turned green.

It was not that he had never seen them before.

As the second young master of the Zhou Household, who would dare make him herd ducks?

At his words, Lin Weiwei immediately looked at him with a deeply moved expression.

"Young Master Zhou, you really are a good person."

Zhou Linzhe's expression stiffened.

[Hahahaha, save me! I'm dying of laughter! Our second young master made such a huge sacrifice, and all he got was a good-person card. (laughing-crying)]

[I told you Zhou Linzhe likes Lin Weiwei, didn't I? He isn't even doing his own task and rushed over to help for free. (covers face)]

[Ah, this... Good lord! Qi Si leaves, and Zhou Linzhe comes along. It really has to be you, Weiwei!]

The netizens were also puzzled. Why did men from such extraordinary family backgrounds always seem to appear around Lin Weiwei?

First there was Qi Si, and now Zhou Linzhe.

Both were rich second-generation heirs, and neither looked bad.

Some envied her, some were jealous, and some simply watched the spectacle.

But none of that stopped Lin Weiwei's fans from promoting her everywhere.

[Our Weiwei is so wonderful. Of course she deserves a good man! Young Master Zhou's eyes work just fine. Isn't it perfectly normal for him to like our Weiwei?]

[I even think Qi Si isn't good enough for our Weiwei. Young Master Zhou is better.]

[Actually, I think Bo Shao is a better match for our Weiwei.]

[...Lin Weiwei's fans are really something. They're actually picking candidates now. Do they think she's an empress choosing a husband?]

The onlookers watched as Lin Weiwei's fans began choosing a husband for her, dragging out all the young masters from high society to evaluate them one by one.

They nearly died laughing.

Lin Weiwei's fans really were not afraid of offending anyone. Did they truly see Lin Weiwei as some irresistible heartthrob?

Weren't they afraid that one of those young masters would get upset and directly block Lin Weiwei's path?

When that happened, they would see whether Lin Weiwei's fans would mourn at her grave.

With Zhou Linzhe helping Lin Weiwei herd the ducks, she did indeed have it much easier.

Lin Weiwei's task had not been difficult in the first place. She only needed to keep an eye on the ducks and make sure none of them ran off.

Even without Zhou Linzhe's help, she could have completed it alone.

It was just that Lin Weiwei found the ducks dirty and disliked how difficult the roads here were to walk on, so she had not wanted to herd ducks from the bottom of her heart.

Once Zhou Linzhe started helping, Lin Weiwei simply became a hands-off boss.

She stayed far away behind him, occasionally calling out, "Keep it up," to Zhou Linzhe.

Or saying a few encouraging words.

With just a few words, she made Zhou Linzhe grit his teeth, overcome his psychological barrier, and keep herding ducks for her.

Who could say that was not a kind of skill?

In truth, herding ducks was an easy job. The ducks wandered around by the water on their own, and people only needed to watch from the side.

If it were not like that, Zhou Linzhe probably would not have been able to keep going.

Once he gradually got used to it, the ducks ran ahead while Zhou Linzhe and Lin Weiwei walked side by side behind them.

Every now and then, they exchanged a few words and smiled at each other.

Setting everything else aside, viewed through the livestream, the scene really did look rather sweet and innocent.

In the livestream, Lin Weiwei's fans took the lead in shipping the pair.

Watching the livestream, Xiang Qianchong could not help feeling confused.

"This is All-Round Charge!, right? Not some dating show next door?"

The planner beside him looked at him blankly. "What dating show would film in a place like this?"

This was not a place to fall in love. This was a place to get divorced!

Xiang Qianchong grew even more depressed.

"Then why can these people still ship them like this?"

The planner finally understood what was bothering the director. Looking at the livestream comments, she found it rather baffling too.

How could netizens ship absolutely anything these days?

But the planner's focus differed somewhat from the director's. Seeing how enthusiastic the viewers were about shipping couples, her eyes suddenly lit up.

"Director Xiang!" The planner suddenly called out to Xiang Qianchong, startling him badly.

"What are you doing? Trying to scare me to death so you can become the director yourself?"

"Sorry, sorry! I just thought of a great idea!" The planner did not care at all that Xiang Qianchong had yelled at her. Her eyes shone as she looked at him.

"Director Xiang! Don't you want our show to get even more popular?"

Xiang Qianchong frowned and eyed the planner suspiciously. "What are you planning now?"

The planner grinned. "Don't netizens like shipping couples? Then let them ship! Add some ambiguous elements and let them pair people up themselves! If they enjoy shipping them, won't we have all the buzz we need?"

"Nonsense! This isn't a dating show!"

"What does it matter? It'll boost our popularity anyway! And look, Director, the relationships among our guests are already complicated. Are you really not going to make use of all this free publicity? We won't deliberately steer them. We just won't stop it." The planner spoke meaningfully.

If the netizens let their imaginations run wild, that had nothing to do with the production team.

And if the guests did not cooperate, they could not force them, could they?

Hearing that, Xiang Qianchong began to hesitate.
