A Favor Done, A Husband Won-Chapter 569 - 563: Sweet Extra – Celebrity Couple Variety Show 48

Everyone was encountering rubber for the first time, initially with a playful mindset. They compared and observed each tree for a while. It took more than an hour to gradually get into the zone.

Perhaps because he’s not a celebrity by profession and has no intention of demonstrating himself in front of the camera, being a business leader, Jing Jihan’s purpose was much more straightforward than the guests present. He aimed to earn more than a certain amount within the context that met the director’s requirements as best as possible.

But obviously, under these limited conditions, with cameras everywhere and all the guests being artists without any business-matching resources, they could only work honestly. Any other business tactics wouldn’t work here.

So Jing Jihan chose not to waste a moment. He directly took the rubber bucket and secured it under each tree. While others were still surrounding the trees, checking the marks made by the knives, he had already secured the rubber buckets for everyone.

Luo Fang was the first to react, hurrying to help: "Sorry, Mr. Jing. We all thought we were here on a sightseeing tour. Luckily, Mr. Jing still remembers the initial purpose of our visit."

Jing Jihan secured another bucket to a tree: "It’s okay. It’s just a variety show, not a serious matter, so everyone can just relax."

Luo Fang laughed, raised his hand to peel off the already solidified rubber while watching the white sap flow down the original marks, and joked, "So Mr. Jing is not only a leader at the company but also a hands-on worker?"

Jing Jihan curled his lips, his smile not overt but still gentle and approachable. He said lightly, "Not really, at most, I just often work overtime with the staff."

After saying this, he laughed again and glanced in the direction of Shi Su: "So, usually, I don’t get much time to accompany her."

"It’s the same for us. We can only work together because of the couple’s variety show; otherwise, one would be shooting a drama here, and the other attending activities in another city or filming somewhere else. Even throughout the year, we barely meet a few times. There are so many couples in the industry who, despite having great relationships, split up due to spending too little time together. Everyone is hustling for life, but life often keeps us apart," Luo Fang sighed.

Jing Jihan initially thought having a child might bring parents closer to the family, but it was just a fleeting thought. Seeing Luo Fang holding back what he wanted to say, he didn’t say anything and just patted him on the shoulder as he walked by, saying calmly, "Keep it up, brother."

Luo Fang raised an eyebrow, smiled back, and they both continued to busy themselves with securing the rubber buckets without speaking further.

By the time the others’ curiosity waned, all the buckets had been secured. Shi Su had been pulled by Ami to look at the thickest rubber tree, immersing herself in curiosity. Upon seeing that her tasks were already complete, she blushed and quickly went to the director to request more buckets and rubber bowls to catch more sap from other trees.

After all, the more, the better. Collecting an extra bucket meant extra money. In such a plain and honest place, there weren’t many fancy ways to make money unless they took the rubber to the market and perhaps haggled a bit. But since they had to connect with a factory eventually and face the straightforward rubber workers, everyone, including the business mogul Jing Jihan, could only choose to work diligently.
