Although the production team gave the guests some free time to connect with the outside world, the guests, who are used to going to bed early and waking up early, actually started to feel sleepy at that time. Moreover, since this was not a private space, no one talked much.
They also worry about their voices being leaked and others hearing their private conversations, so they are very reserved when chatting and don't enjoy themselves to the fullest.
Xia Zhiyi, on the other hand, was quite relaxed. With his abilities, checking the situation around him was the simplest thing for him.
However, Xia Zhiyi didn't chat with Xia Wanyi for long. The two siblings exchanged only a few words before Xia Zhiyi revealed her purpose.
Xia Wanyi: "The program... you've been broadcasting it live the whole time, right?"
Xia Zhiyi: "Mm."
Xia Wanyi: "If I don't go, you..."
Xia Zhiyi said gently, "It's alright, sister can come if she wants to, or not if she doesn't want to. It's not a big deal."
Before Xia Wanyi could speak further, Xia Zhiyi continued, "To be honest, I didn't want my sister to come. The conditions here are really not good. Although the temperature is relatively cooler in the mountains, it's still summer after all, and the mosquitoes are fierce. I don't want my sister to suffer here."
Xia Wanyi: "I'm not afraid of these things, and I even watched the live stream. It was actually quite interesting."
Even so, Xia Zhiyi still tell that Xia Wanyi was somewhat reluctant to participate in the program.
For a person who is gentle and low-key by nature, filming TV shows is something she is not very willing to do unless necessary.
Xia Zhiyi: "As for the farm stay, I'd rather go with my sister privately. I'm afraid she wouldn't feel comfortable if she came to film a show. If she doesn't really want to, it's better if she doesn't come."
They started trying to persuade people in the opposite way.
If this had happened two weeks ago, Xia Wanyi would probably have come to find Xia Zhiyi without hesitation.
It's nothing more than an older sister's worry for her younger brother.
After watching her younger brother's life through live streams, Xia Wanyi realized that he wasn't as fragile as she had imagined; he had grown up.
Xia Wanyi is not a controlling person.
Xia Wanyi: "Alright, then I'll wait for you to come home."
Xia Zhiyi was pleased. "Yes, sister, please be careful when you're home alone."
Xia Wanyi: "Yes, you too."
Even though my younger brother is very capable, we still need to be careful.
After ending her call with her sister, Xia Zhiyi was about to contact Xu Chen when a phone call came in.
"Hello?"
"It's me."
A deep, familiar voice reached my ears, yet tinged with a hint of unfamiliarity.
But Xia Zhiyi still recognized who the other person was.
Xia Zhiyi: " Mr. Fu?"
Fu Chi: "Hmm."
Xia Zhiyi a little surprised. "Why did you call this number? Is there something you need to talk to me about?"
I didn't suspect anything.
Fu Chi: "The production team asked you to invite guests, have you decided on the candidates yet?"
Xia Zhiyi: "I don't think I'll invite anyone else. As for whether the production team will arrange another partner for me, I don't know."
Fu Chi: "If you're inviting friends, would you consider me?"
Xia Zhiyi was slightly taken aback by Fu Chi's unexpected words, then smiled and said, "Ah, it's my honor to have Mr. Fu as my friend."
Fu Chi: "I'm just Ordinary Person too."
Xia Zhiyi's eyebrows twitched slightly, and a smile played on her lips, "Yes, yes, I'm just Ordinary Person. That's not what I meant."
"I don't know why Mr. Fu wants to come here as a guest, but my spot is open anyway. If you want to come, I'll let the production team know," Xia Zhiyi a smile. "But about Brother Fu..."
Fu Chi: "He has his own social circle."
So we couldn't invite him.
That's not what Xia Zhiyi:...
Xia Zhiyi coughed lightly, unable to suppress her laughter. "I was afraid that Brother Fu would be startled when he saw you."
Fu Chi: "No."
Fu Yunyi showed a completely different side on this show, and sometimes he even seemed a bit silly, but his professional skills are undeniable.
An actor can control their facial expressions in front of the camera.
Otherwise, Fu Yunyi might have been sent back to his acting classes by Fu Chi.
Fu Chi is strict with himself and with those under his protection; otherwise, he considers it a waste of time to even glance at them.
Xia Zhiyi: "Okay, then I'll give your name to Director Gong in a bit. The production team should contact you later. Should I leave this phone number?"
Fu Chi: "I'll have my assistant contact Gong Cheng."
Xia Zhiyi: "Okay."
Sure, that saves him the trouble.
The two didn't talk much. After settling the matter, Xia Zhiyi said goodnight to Fu Chi and hung up the phone.
Director Gong was still wondering whether Xia Zhiyi's sister would come, but unexpectedly, he heard Fu Chi's name from Xia Zhiyi.
Director Gong: "... Who?"
Xia Zhiyi: "It's that Mr. Fu. President Fu who came here before, don't you remember him?"
Director Gong:...
I remember.
It's precisely because I remember it that it feels so unbelievable.
Director Gong: "Um, Xia Zhiyi, did you contact President Fu to confirm it, or...?"
It shouldn't be Xia Zhiyi acting on her own initiative, right?
Xia Zhiyi didn't say that Fu Chi had volunteered to come. After all, he was a domineering CEO, so she should at least give him some dignity.
Xia Zhiyi: "It's inconvenient for my sister to come over, so I asked Mr. Fu. I didn't expect Mr. Fu to be so kind and willing to come."
Director Gong: "..."
Director Gong recently did some research and learned a little about the business dealings and reputation of their program's sponsor, who is definitely not a good person.
On the other hand, Fu Chi's father, the retired Old Master Fu who was enjoying his retirement, was said to be a kind-faced old man who did good deeds every year and had a good reputation.
Xia Zhiyi said Fu Chi is a good person.
Director Gong: It's awkward, so awkward.
But Director Gong didn't say.
Director Gong simply said, "... Okay, we'll contact President Fu later to confirm. If President Fu also says he'll be coming, then please confirm the guest list."
After saying that, Director Gong still felt it was unreliable. "Wait, did you tell President Fu? We're going to film for three days and two nights. President Fu is such a busy person, do you really have that much time?"
Xia Zhiyi, "..."
Xia Zhiyi smiled, "Why don't you confirm it with him?"
Director Gong: "... You didn't say so, did you?"
Xia Zhiyi: "Sorry, Director Gong, I forgot."
Director Gong took a breath, and was also a little surprised— Xia Zhiyi, although the youngest, had always seemed very reliable, even the most reliable of the guests, yet she could be so unreliable.
But there's no way around it.
It's because Director Gong likes him.
So Director Gong, "Okay."
