The backdrop can also be propped up.

Chapter 289 Pih Na

The filming process proceeded peacefully until the last day, when a mishap occurred.

Sen Ouling and Xiao Keyuan were assigned to the same group for their task.

Director Wang was getting anxious as he saw that Sen Ouling and Xiao Keyuan had little interaction outside of their tasks after several days of filming. They had a conflict, but he couldn't get any footage of them. Wasn't this a waste of a publicity stunt?

However, whenever Sen Ouling teamed up for a mission, he would run to Wei Qingchun's side as quickly as possible. Given Wei Qingchun's seniority in the industry, Director Wang never dared to say anything or interfere too much. Moreover, Wei Qingchun seemed to be very satisfied with Sen Ouling, and their conversations were quite popular on various social media and video platforms.

Therefore, they cannot force the pairing of Sen Ouling and Wei Qingchun to separate, otherwise it will cause dissatisfaction among the audience. However, Director Wang does not want to give up the hype surrounding the conflict between Xiao Keyuan and Sen Ouling.

So Director Wang came up with a dirty trick—to tamper with the lot, so that Sen Ouling and Xiao Keyuan would be paired together by drawing lots.

"The task this time requires the guests in a group to work together to complete the task." Director Wang was secretly pleased to see that Sen Ouling and Xiao Keyuan had indeed been assigned to the same group—this would provide plenty of material for conflict.

Sen Ouling knew that Director Wang was probably doing it on purpose, so she moved to the side again without making a sound. Because of Xiao Keyuan, Sen Ouling was forced to stand in the center this time, with the camera pointing directly at her. So she could only try to avoid gossip by keeping the distance between the two of them at a very polite distance.

"Next, the staff will give each guest a task. Each guest will receive a different task, which means that each group needs to complete two tasks. The group that completes both tasks first will receive a generous reward."

As Director Wang spoke through the megaphone, staff members distributed task cards to each guest. Sen Ouling glanced at her task card, which listed the tasks she was to perform.

Go catch two chickens, one for chicken soup, and the other for fried chicken. After reading the task, Sen Ouling thought, "It's not too difficult. I should be able to do it by myself. I just don't know what Xiao Keyuan's task is."

Considering future cooperation, Sen Ouling asked Xiao Keyuan about his mission.

Xiao Keyuan looked at his task card and said, "Go up the mountain to dig up wild vegetables, fill a basket."

"Oh, that's still relatively easy," Sen Ouling thought. Seeing the director pick up the megaphone again, he figured the director had something else to say, so he perked up his ears to listen.

Then we heard Director Wang say, "We've been filming this show for several days now, and there's something we haven't told you yet—we actually have an undercover agent in this filming."

Sure enough, a series of "ah" sounds came from the group of guests.

After the director and the other guests quieted down, he continued slowly through the megaphone: "The undercover agents have actually been hindering you from completing your missions so that they can gain a lot of points. That's why we haven't been publishing the points leaderboard."

"There are only two days left until the end of our program. Please catch the undercover agent within these last two days."

"The person who catches the undercover agent will receive the best treatment for the next two days—regardless of how well the mission is accomplished."

Upon hearing this, everyone present, except for Sen Ouling, the undercover agent, was eager to try.

"If the undercover agent isn't caught, then the undercover agent is declared the winner and will receive a generous reward after filming concludes," Director Wang continued, holding up a megaphone.

"The undercover agent's identity will be revealed in the live chat room tomorrow night. Please find out who the undercover agent is before that time."

Sen Ouling fell silent—she didn't know what the production team was trying to do; they probably ran out of new ideas and were using her as a scapegoat.
