Showbiz Scandal: The Official Announcement of My Ex and Myself-Chapter 377: You Aren’t Here to Do Business!

Chapter 377: Chapter 377: You Aren’t Here to Do Business!

It’s very reasonable, anyway, it’s not me getting tricked. Xie Qingci eagerly said he supports her doing this.

So the two of them avoided the pursuers and ran back to the beach to find the production crew, saying they wanted to buy something.

The director heard her words crystal clear through the camera. Seeing them running over so excitedly now, he had a headache.

"It’s not even dinner time yet. Don’t you want to try finding a self-reliant way first through your own efforts?"

Yu Xia had already started counting money: "What do you think all our hard work earning money in the past few episodes was for? Isn’t it for enjoying now? Making money has to have a meaning. Come on, the money is ready, hurry up and bring out the goods."

The director glanced at the time: "Even if you want to buy something, it’s not time yet. If you buy things and have big bags of it, are you going to carry it around running? More and more pursuers are being let loose, it’ll be very dangerous for you, better escape first."

"The pursuers catch people, not food. I know it, they have great meals at work." By then, just hide the stuff in the tent.

Seeing they were still reluctant, Yu Xia put one hand on her hip, shaking the money loudly with the other.

"Come on, who’s a fool who doesn’t make money? We’re timing it just right, doing business means considering for the customers ahead of them. Otherwise, if they’re already eating, we’d have to buy now—who can run a business like that?"

Director: "But you’re not here for business!"

You’re here for survival!

Yu Xia sized them up and down: "You have the nerve to say that, weren’t the rules set by you? Earning money to accumulate points. If not for this, do you think I’d be willing to work myself to death for those two bucks?"

Director: Is it really just two bucks? Two bucks per person, maybe?

Unable to persuade this shrewd trader, he could only hope by looking at Xie Qingci, who had been silent beside them.

But Xie Qingci hid behind Yu Xia and said, "I’m not the one to decide."

"..." The director gave him a look of disappointment.

Unable to drive them away, the program crew had to bring out the food prepared for them.

"These things can be bought or acquired through task draws or points, how much do you want?"

Yu Xia drew out a bill and slapped it on the table with bravado.

"Let’s start with just a buck!"

"..." The way they acted, you’d think it was wholesale, but it’s just a buck, "For a buck, it’s this, a sesame cake."

The sesame cake looked quite rough. She broke off a piece and tasted it, surprisingly it was quite good.

"Buy five."

Holding a handful of tens, yet her demeanor was as if a millionaire was buying pigs’ heads wholesale. She sampled and bought one after another, all the while letting Xie Qingci carry the bags. She walked ahead the whole time testing the food, her aura undiminished even by a three-kilo gold chain around her neck.

After buying most of the staple foods, the director slyly brought out the more important items.

"Survival tools, fishing rods, grills, fishing nets, which do you want?"

Yu Xia swallowed a jelly, looking at him with accused eyes.

"You’re good at business, huh? You wait for us to spend almost all our money before bringing out these expensive items. Let me guess, you want to drain our points? After all, our team must have the most accumulated points, to make the game more exciting, you’ve got to control the market to make our gaps smaller, right?"

The director couldn’t admit to that: "We are just providing useful items for everyone, whether to buy or not is up to you, don’t overthink."

Xie Qingci finally chimed in: "We’ve got enough food, we can just make less money. Others might not have the means to buy our stuff, maybe they’ll risk using points to buy these."

Especially those who didn’t have many points to begin with, knowing they don’t have a chance for first place, the points wouldn’t matter much; buying some food would be more practical.

There are also confident teams that might think they can catch endless seafood with a fishing net and don’t need to buy food, choosing instead to use points or complete tasks to get these items.

So, they don’t need to buy them.

Yu Xia and Xie Qingci exchanged a glance, and she made the decision to not take those items.

The director looked a bit disappointed.

The two snuck back to the tent area with the food they bought and hid everything in a tent in the middle, marking it with leaves, before tiptoeing into the forest.

The food was secured, and they had a way to make money, but they still needed to find clues to complete the tasks, right?

The forest occasionally echoed with screams and noises from people running, sometimes someone would charge down a knoll howling, nearly like fighting wild men, making it easy to tell where pursuers were.

After half an hour of sneaking, they unluckily triggered an ambush behind a coconut tree, scaring them into fleeing and becoming part of the forest chase.

The paths on the island were limited, and people were cautious not to go too deep, so they often bumped into one another.

A group of strong men in grass skirts surrounded several people, and breathless Tan and another female guest stood behind Yu Xia, starting to leave last words.

"Yu Xia, your team probably has the highest points, and this is the last round, we can’t win even if we try. Plus, this place is hard to navigate, it’s hot, I think getting caught might be better. We can just sit in the tent and wait for your good news."

"Yes, Yu Xia, we’re planning to rush in and break the pursuers’ line, then let the guys keep playing. Even if we can’t pull up the flag, an ultimate exchange is still pretty good. When we charge, you run with us, your team’s chances are big."

The tears almost came, such noble teammate affection.

Just when she was about to gratefully agree to this brilliant idea, a few drones suddenly emitted a truce signal.

Yu Xia paused, looking up at the sky.

"The sun is still in the mid-afternoon, it’s already 18:00?" It clearly looked like three or four o’clock in the afternoon.

Xie Qingci relaxed, saying, "This season, on the island, it takes until about eight for it to get dark, it’s normal."

No need for Tan and her cohort to "fight to the death," they embraced excitedly. It was different for the pursuers surrounding them, the grass-skirted men looked disappointed and unwilling, standing fiercely nearby refusing to leave.

So close, so close to catching them all, and it just happened to be the truce time! Just so coincidentally!

The group who escaped death quickly headed past them to the beach, Yu Xia passed by one of the grass-skirted strongmen, watching his shiny arm, and casually scanning his grass-skirted look.

She still wanted to give a pat and tell them to hurry back for their work meal.

But before she could act, nearby Xie Qingci gently asked, "Sister Yu Xia, what are you looking at?"

"..." She lifted her hand to comb her hair, calmly responding, "Looking at a big drumstick, this strong arm makes me miss the big drumstick, wonder if the crew will provide such cuisine."
