No Refuting

Gu Ran looked at Feng Cheng for a good, long while, her lip curling into a mocking smirk, before returning her gaze to Yan Hao. She still did not accept his glass of water.

"This person's temper is rather short and lives simply. If you want to listen to me, there won't be any big, luxurious hotel or high-class champagne for you to enjoy. It will only solve your basic needs to accommodation and food." She said, deciding to put out the warning first.

"That's fine, yes," Yan Hao was quick to agree, "We weren't here to enjoy in the first place, were we? We've only ended up in this situation because we did not realize why we were on this show in the first place!"

This was a live stream program, no less. If they ended up on the streets because they did not know how to prioritise their cash flow and could not accomplish the tasks set for them by the director, this live stream could very well become a huge lifelong scandal!

What was biting the bullet for a few days as compared to being scorned by the public in the future?

"Then from now on, whatever I say and plan, can I trust you to not refute them?"

"Yes.'

The person to speak up this time was Mo Yancheng.

With his words, any other objection anyone else might have had instantly died in their throats.

Gu Ran gave him a look of gratitude, before pocketing the envelope in her pocket. "If that's the case, let's head back to our rooms for the night. We will gather downstairs at 7:30 tomorrow. I will not wait for those who are late!"

This sentence was specifically targeted at Feng Cheng.

Yan Hao and company could feel the ire Gu Ran held for Feng Cheng. They all thought that it was perhaps Gu Ran who was the problem, but after what had happened today, seeing how incompetent Feng Cheng was and just how hung up he was about appearances, and seeing a little of his two-faced, double-dealing nature, they were inclined to believe that Gu Ran might have known about his true self for a while now, which was why she seemed to hold a grudge against him!

The entourage headed for their rooms after leaving the restaurant.

Liao Ping went to the bathroom to wash up first, while Ma Yunyun lounged in the room in boredom. She could not surf the internet with the program's standard-issue phones, anyway, and could only converse with Gu Ran.

"Do you really have a way to stretch out 70 pounds over three days?" Ma Yunyun was unable to picture what anyone could do with such little cash.

"Nope." Gu Ran did not even lift her head from where she was doodling on a piece of paper on the table.

Ma Yunyun frowned. Perhaps she was getting too used to Gu Ran's vitriol, for she did not say anything hateful back to her.

"What are you writing?" From the moment they'd entered the room, Gu Ran had been writing non-stop, but the script looked neither Chinese nor English. It was rather scribbly, and she could not understand what it meant.

"It's a contract for trafficking. Tomorrow I'll sell you all for a sweet sum of money for myself!"

Ma Yunyun: "Gu Ran! You're so childish!"

After she finished her sentence, she felt that something was amiss. "Gu Ran, you won't actually sell us, right?"

Gu Ran: "…" What an idiot!

After Liao Ping had finished her shower and had stepped out, Gu Ran took out her sleepwear and slipped into the bathroom to prevent any more interactions between herself and Ma Yunyun.

Ma Yunyun was quick to report to Liao Ping. "Gu Ran said that she wanted to sell us for money! Liao Ping, we need to find Feng Cheng and fast!"

Liao Ping did not know whether to laugh or cry. "Are you stupid? We're on a program with how many cameras constantly pointed at us? How would she be able to pull off something like that?"

Ma Yunyun: "…" Huh, she was right. How could she have forgotten that she was in a live-stream? Had Gu Ran really angered her to the point where she would forget something so fundamental?

The next day, 7:30, Yan Hao and company arrived at the assembly place at 7:30 sharp. Gu Ran gave each person a sandwich as well as a bottle of milk.

"Where'd you get this from?" Liao Ping asked in curiosity.

Gu Ran took a bite out of her sandwich and swallowed it before replying, "This hotel's accommodation fee comes with complimentary breakfast. I thought that having breakfast here would take up too much of our time because we still have three places to visit before the end of today, which is why I exchanged it for sandwiches and milk."

Her actions suddenly became clear to everyone, and they started eating.
