t time meeting you. Here's a gift for you. I hope you like it. You can just call me Ruan Soft. And in the show later, I'll need your help."Liu guided smiled foolishly, not being polite at all. Looking...Lu Weiwei just went back to her room like that.

Due to the ongoing livestream, the program staff went to persuade several times.

In the end, the show continued and Lu Weiwei did not quit.

But Lu Weiwei said she was not feeling well and needed to rest first.

As for whether or not to group, let others decide.

A few people in the living room were not surprised to hear this and then divided into groups according to those they had invited.

Although Lu Hui was reluctant, the minority had to obey the majority. He had no choice but to comply.

Since the remaining funds were still with Lu Weiwei, they discussed and agreed on something.

No matter how much funding was left, it was directly divided equally per person.

It also counts as helping Lu Weiwei, who didn't have any money coming in today.

After all, considering lunchtime orders, it's definitely Lulu Weiwei who uses the most.

After discussing everything, just as everyone was about to go eat lunch.

Director Liu walked in with a smile that wasn't friendly at all.

"Everyone wait a moment, I see you all made a lot of money today, right!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the few people on the sofa instantly became wary.

"Old Liu! What are you trying to get up to again"

Han Lin was exaggerating to Director Liu, apparently already worn out by the show's mechanisms.

"Oh my! Am I that bad"

Director Liu chuckled with satisfaction, pleased by his old friend's accusations.

All the guests on the sofa nodded in agreement with Director Liu's opinion.

"Hahahahahaha, I came over this time, and I didn't really want to make things difficult for you guys."

"But paying debts is only natural. I'm here to collect what you owe me."

Liu Dao didn't seem to mind the guests' dissatisfaction with him at all.

Instead, he gleefully threw out a message that was enough to despair them.

"What debt When did we owe money"

Lin Yuhao was the first to exclaim in surprise, his voice filled with disbelief.

"That's right, what debt Isn't this another one of Lao Liu's schemes"

Han Lin also spoke up and asked.

Director Liu listened to everyone's unceremonious complaints about him with an innocent look on his face.

"You guys can't blame me, I haven't done anything wrong. What did you guys do at noon Don't you know"

"That restaurant was expensive! You guys spent all your budget and still owe our program money!"

"Don't even think about skipping out on your debt! I have the IOUs right here."

Director Liu spoke with conviction, without any hint of fabrication.

As he spoke, he pulled a piece of paper out of his pocket.

Several people on the sofa looked at Director Liu's appearance, his hand still holding the so-called IOU, their hearts turned cold.

A bad feeling suddenly came over me.

No way! They actually owe the production crew money Why didn't Lu Weiwei just tell them earlier

And wasn't that restaurant not expensive, as Lu Weiwei said

They also ordered sparingly to save money, but they didn't even eat enough! Now they owe money!

Although after all, they already ate it. Even though the restaurant was recommended by Lu Weiwei, they all agreed to it.

It can't be blamed on Lu Weiwei. She can only swallow this loss herself.

Thinking about it, the few people on the sofa didn't look very good.

"Could you please show me the IOU, and also the receipt from lunch"

Suddenly, Ruan softened and spoke to Director Liu.

Director Liu, upon hearing it was Ruan Rou, readily handed over the IOU he was holding.

"I don't have the invoice here, it should be with Lu Weiwei. But I took a picture of it, just a moment."

Liu, the director, gestured to a staff member nearby, asking them to bring him his phone.

Ruan Ran got the IOU and glanced at it roughly. The amount owed wasn't much, but it wasn't little either.

While it might be easy for oneself to determine the source, it would likely be more difficult for others.

Because this amount is almost all Lin Yuan earned today, it's about the same for other people too.

After Ruan Ran had a look, she passed the IOU to the person next to her, letting everyone take turns to see it.

Everyone looked at the amount on top, some gasped, and some sighed.

"The money I earned today hasn't even had time to warm up before I have to give it away!"

Lin Yuan said somewhat dejectedly, feeling that things were even more hopeless ahead.

Then Director Liu's phone arrived quickly. Director Liu brought out the receipts he had taken before and immediately handed them to Ruan Soft.

"Ruan softened and didn't hesitate, taking it directly to read. She wanted to see where the money had been spent."

Just by taking a look, I know where the problem is.

He didn't speak either, just like when he was passing a promissory note, and handed his phone back to the person beside him.

But this time everyone exclaimed in unison without exception.

"The noodles I ate are so expensive! It's almost like spending two days' worth of my allowance!"

Lin Yuhao exclaimed in surprise, apparently not expecting it.

"My soup is so expensive! What's in it"

Ye Ning frowned, puzzled. He had never tasted such an expensive soup before!

Okay, it's true that everyone's meal is expensive, but it's all within our budget for these few days.

Lu Weiwei's meal is truly expensive! Her steak alone completely drained her own budget.

Not to mention desserts and drinks.

Lin Yuan looked at the receipt, frowned, and said unceremoniously, without considering that she was live-streaming at the moment.

In the live stream, people were also amazed and found it difficult to judge Lu Weiwei's series of actions.

Meanwhile, Lu Weiwei upstairs was secretly using a spare phone, lurking in the live stream room with a small account, and watching the barrage of messages popping up, her face turned quite bad.

Looking at the barrage, people said that I was extravagant and wasteful, ordering so much food even though I couldn't finish it.

Lu Weiwei inwardly scoffed, these country bumpkins didn't know a thing!

It's clearly because the director had a smaller budget, yet he's blaming me for ordering too much. I only ordered essentials for each meal!

If anything was missing, Lu Weiwei felt it wouldn't be worthy of her status.

Talking positively to oneself in the live stream, but outnumbered by negative comments.

Lu Weiwei was so angry that she directly exited the live stream, wanting to ignore it.

Downstairs, everyone except Ruan Rou looked like wilted eggplants, listless and despondent.

"Oh, there isn't that much actually. You guys split it evenly, you'll still have some left in your hands!"

Director Liu urged everyone with his eyes, saying something while glancing at Ruan Rou out of the camera's sight.

It seems you're saying, knowing you make a lot of money, don't flaunt it.

Ruan softly seemed to understand the other person's meaning, but she hadn't originally planned on paying for it herself.

Although I made quite a bit of money today, paying these amounts is just a drop in the bucket.

But she wouldn't let Lu Weiwei get away with it. Other people needed help, and she could help them individually later.

"You're so soft, didn't you earn a lot today Why don't you give me some more"

Luo Hui suddenly spoke out of the blue.mething, he can't even copy, even if the food was given to his mouth, he could still become like this.Although he was still complaining, Ye Ning felt a wave of relief. After all, this situation made t...
