After being reminded, Chu Ci realized that his fingers were still tightly holding Ye Qingzhou's wrist.
Chu Ci's movement of escaping just now was so fast that Ye Qingzhou was dragged away by him before he could react. The boy's fair wrists turned red.
"Sorry sorry!"
Chu Ci quickly let go of Ye Qingzhou's wrist.
The photographer who had worked so hard to catch up bent down and gasped. "Teachers, next time... before you run... can you please inform... notify me..."
"Sorry."
Chu Ci explained seriously, "I forgot about you..."
Photographer: "..."
He said expressionlessly, "In front of the balloon stall, passers-by onlookers shouted the name 'Ye Qingzhou' ten times in total, so you two will be fined an additional 50 yuan."
If you are recognized once, it will be 5 yuan, and if you are recognized ten times, it will be 50 yuan.
Chu Ci:"..."
He rubbed the broken hair on his forehead irritably. "Can't you be more accommodating? You also know that Teacher Ye and I are short of money and can't come up with so much money for the time being..."
The photographer still resented the fact that Chu Ci and Ye Qingzhou left him and walked away. His attitude was rare and tough. "These are the rules of the program team, there is no way to accommodate them."
The photographer clasped his fingers and began to calculate. "You owe the program team 20 yuan at the beginning. In addition, Teacher Ye also borrowed 100 yuan from me in front of the balloon booth. The amount of your task today is 500 yuan. The total is... is...
At this point, the photographer paused for a few seconds and counted with his fingers more seriously. "Twenty plus one hundred equals one hundred and twenty yuan, one hundred and twenty yuan plus five hundred yuan..."
"Five hundred and two."
Chu Ci interrupted the photographer with a smile, "I didn't expect this number to be quite romantic..."
The photographer was interrupted by Chu Ci, and his thoughts were in a trance for a few seconds. "Is it five hundred and two? Why doesn't it feel right to me?"
He lowered his head and counted on his fingers again.
"You..."
Chu Ci looked at the photographer and hesitated to speak.
He said "five hundred and twenty yuan" just to tease the photographer. Who knew the photographer actually counted it?
If Chu Ci hadn't known that the program team didn't have a script, he would have suspected that the program team deliberately created the effect of the program.
"It's obviously six hundred and two, you're lying!"
The photographer couldn't help but accuse.
"It turns out you're not a fool..."
Chu Ci laughed twice, then belatedly realized that he and Ye Qingzhou had been delayed in front of the balloon stall for an hour, and the amount of their task not only did not decrease, but instead changed from 500 yuan to 620 yuan.
There are still seven hours until the end of the program recording, which means that he and Ye Qingzhou will earn 88 yuan per hour.
Chu Ci:"..."
Want to die.
"Are there any other balloon stalls around here?"
"No more."
Most of the shooting and trapping stalls were concentrated in one area. Ye Qingzhou and Chu Ci had already been recognized, so their plan could only come to nothing.
Hearing this, Chu Ci sighed in disappointment.
Chu Ci's original plan was to use the prizes he got from shooting balloons to run a stall of his own. When he earned enough money, he would then find a stall selling balloons or loops, earn more prizes, and make his stall more and more perfect, so that more and more people would patronize it.
If the items in his stall are sold out, he will shoot balloons or hoops to earn new prizes, so that the cycle can start over and over again, forming a benign closed loop.
It's a pity...
Now all plans are ruined.
Chu Ci rubbed his face and then turned his attention to Ye Qingzhou: "Do you have any good suggestions?"
Setting up a stall is a dead end.
They can only find another way out.
"... can you sing?"
Ye Qingzhou thought for a few seconds and suggested, "If you can sing, you can try singing on the street or in a bar. Compared with other jobs, this type of job has more freedom and the salary fluctuates greatly..."
Singing on the street?
Chu Ci was slightly startled.
It's not that he hasn't considered the job of singing in residence, but Chu Ci is not very familiar with the music and songs of this world, so he doesn't know what his singing level is.
"I... I'm not very good at..."
Chu Ci subconsciously wanted to refuse, but unexpectedly two familiar figures suddenly appeared in front of him.
They are Chen Mu and Yang Zhouzhou.
The two of them had put on handsome men's clothes as required by the program crew. Chen Mu and Yang Zhouzhou's facial features were very delicate. After wearing short black hair, they actually looked a bit like 16.7-year-old high school students. They had a unique youthful atmosphere.
The two of them looked a little depressed, and there was a high probability that they had not found a suitable job.
This is normal.
After all, it is not an easy task for the two of them to find a comfortable job with an hourly salary of more than thirty yuan without exposing their identities.
"Teacher Ye?"
It was Chen Mu who first noticed the figures of Ye Qingzhou and Chu Ci. She walked slowly towards them. Looking at their handsome eyebrows, Chen Mu asked tentatively, "... Have you two found a suitable job?"
"No."
Ye Qingzhou is concise and concise.
Hearing this word, Chen Mu secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She continued to chat with them, "The Two of Us hasn't found a suitable job either. I don't know if the program team wants to mess with us. I just asked around with Zhouzhou and found out that the hourly wages here are very low..."
It is basically impossible to earn 500 yuan in eight hours with a normal job, so the two of them can only find another way. As for what this "unexpected way" is, Chen Mu has not yet researched it.
"Resident singing?"
Chu Ci raised his eyebrows slightly and suggested.
"No..."
It's not like Chen Mu and Yang Zhouzhou have never considered the career of "resident singing". Yang Zhouzhou originally debuted in the C position of the girl group, and surpassed most girls in both singing and dancing. If she really became a street singing resident, she would definitely be able to make money, but... the risk of being recognized is too high.
The reason why Yang Zhouzhou was able to make her debut is because her voice is very recognizable. If Yang Zhouzhou chooses to be a resident singer, the possibility of being recognized in public is too high.
Chen Mu is an actress, and her voice is very recognizable. She has also released her own songs on public platforms. Although she is not as good as a professional singer, she can barely bear the word "good-sounding". Many fans gradually fell in love with her through Chen Mu's music.
Seeing the two people looking unhappy, Chu Ci asked tentatively, "Maybe... we can cooperate?"
