Chapter 213: Cheating Everyone Equally
On the beach, there was still the man and the woman, and the same classic Korean drama standing positions – the man had one hand in his pocket, looking down gently, and the woman sat weakly in a wheelchair with a blanket covering her legs, bending over to open the suitcase.

No wonder the two PDs who were following the camera would hide behind rocks and take secret shots. Such a romantic and atmospheric scene was ruined by the two of them just standing there!
“Where did you get all these things?”

Looking at the half box of things, Nie Wenjin grinned.

She failed to control her expression, her mouth slightly opened, and her eyes were full of shock:
“Even if you have time to buy, the production team probably won’t allow you to bring so much food. For a desert island survival show, Director Li’s means of controlling our mission is supplies. There is no shortage of fresh water on the island, and apart from the pots and pans that can be recycled, supplies basically only refer to food.”

“You brought so much that it completely destroyed the island’s monetary system. It would be a miracle if they agreed to this!!”

Before Ren Tuo could answer her question, two people came rushing towards him from behind. Even though the footsteps were on the soft sand, they were still dull and fast. Obviously, someone was in a hurry.

Looking back, the two PDs who were hiding behind the rocks could no longer hide, especially Ren Tuo’s PD, whose face turned green.

He stared at the suitcase spread out on the ground, even forgetting the staff’s rule of not talking unless necessary, and asked in disbelief:
“Ren Tuo, where did you get these things?”

“When you came out of the hospital today, I checked your luggage. There were only clothes and daily necessities in the suitcases and bags. There was not even a bottle of mineral water, let alone food!”

“You never left my sight during the trip. You only went to the bathroom once at the airport, which only took a few minutes. And by then, the suitcase had already been handed over to the ground staff to be taken to the cargo hold. You never touched it at all…”

“This is impossible!”

Rather than questioning the food in Ren Tuo’s box, the greatest benefit of PD’s review was actually to respond to director Li Wensheng, who was yelling louder than him in the headphones.

When a pile of food appeared in the camera, Li Wensheng’s roar was simultaneously transmitted to the headphones of all PDs.

They were simply asking why these things appeared in Ren Tuo’s luggage, how the staff did their job, and why such a big mistake occurred.

What actually made Li Wensheng angry was not the fact that Ren Tuo brought food.

The guests were not aware that they would be staying on the island for not three days as agreed, but one month.

This may seem like a lot of food, but when the timeline is extended to 30 days, what does half a box of food count for? It’s okay to eat sparingly, but if they plan to eat it all before the three days are up, then it will be completely useless.

To put it bluntly…the program effects such as the battle of wits and courage between the guests and the program team are icing on the cake, but it doesn’t matter much if they don’t. At this point, the program is no longer purely for earning traffic, reputation and sponsorship fees, but more for cooperating with the investigation mission.

In this case, why does Li Wensheng care about how much supplies the guests bring?
The fundamental reason why Li Wensheng roared like a dragon was that he had learned from Xu Qing’an’s previous experience, and Ren Tuo himself was a dangerous element. They were on high alert this time, sending PD to the hospital before Ren Tuo was discharged and keeping a close eye on him all the way, fearing that the other party might have a dagger, saber, or bayonet in his pocket.

As a result, there are still unexpected items in the box.

If it really is just food, then that’s fine.

But if Ren Tuo has something else on him…

That would really be the end of it.

on the beach.

Facing the shocked, questioning, and even somewhat life-doubting looks from the two PDs and Nie Wenjin, Ren Tuo appeared very calm and composed.

He spread out his hands, his face full of matter-of-factness:

“It was because I listened to the audience’s advice on the way here. They asked me to bring more food and outdoor supplies, but you refused to let me get off the car, and the production team forced me not to buy anything. So I had to find another way.”

“Instead of letting me just talk, why don’t you go to the show’s super topic and take a look. Maybe you can find out the reason?”

The large audience in front of the screen, all the staff of the program group, and Nie Wenjin in the wheelchair were all stunned after hearing his words.

Super topic???

All the guests had their phones taken away early, including Ren Tuo as soon as he was discharged from the hospital today. The tablets he used to watch the live broadcast were given by the program team, and there were only original applications and the Feiniao APP on them. How could he see the super topic interface? As for posting, that was even more impossible!

The staff members all took out their phones and started looking for super topics. Even the PDs moved in unison, carrying the camera on one shoulder and tilting their heads to take out their phones with the other hand.

Nie Wenjin, who didn’t have a cell phone, and Han Fei and Qi Qingyi, who were hiding in the distance and peeking at them, could only stare at their PD, waiting for them to search out a result to answer their questions.

After a while.

Ren Tuo’s PD turned his eyes away from his phone, his face as dark as the bottom of a pot, feeling frustrated and powerless like a cat being played by a mouse.

At the bathroom door, Ren Tuo had already communicated with the female ground attendant. She would secretly listen to the live broadcast with Bluetooth headphones, and when the program crew found out what was in Ren Tuo’s box, she would send the recorded permission video to the super chat. On the one hand, she would let the program crew know the source of the food, and on the other hand, she could prove that she opened the passenger’s suitcase only after obtaining permission.

This video quickly became popular and could be seen as soon as you entered the super topic. It even climbed up to the bottom of the hot search list.

“What’s going on? Can anyone explain it to me?”

Nie Wenjin couldn’t help it. Although her tone was gentle, no one liked the feeling of being kept in suspense, and everyone could still hear the urging tone in her words.

But Ren Tuo just kept smiling, didn’t answer her, and winked at Nie Wenjin, indicating that she should ask the PD.

Seeing that Nie Wenjin was not in a good mood, he took the lead in asking:
“Did you see the whole process? PD, this shouldn’t be considered a violation, right? Didn’t you tell me on the way that you didn’t do a box inspection and let Mr. Xu bring a lot of prohibited items to the island? But in the end, you didn’t seem to confiscate his items.”

“My luggage has been through a complete unpacking and security check. There are no weapons in it, only food. The production crew shouldn’t be so stingy as to take it away.”

His attitude was very good and his tone was very polite, but it always sounded a bit shady.

Nie Wenjin raised his eyebrows and looked at his follow-up PD.

The latter remained silent, holding the headset with one hand, as if listening to the work instructions issued by Director Li through the headset.

Soon, the small speakers on the waists of the two PDs rang at the same time.

“Ahem, Mr. Ren, it will be very difficult for our production team to handle this if you do this.”

Li Wensheng’s voice sounded ten years older, as if all his energy had been drained by the guests on this show, and he was short of breath and weak:
“How about this, let’s discuss it. You can keep half of the items in the box…”

Before he could finish his words, Nie Wenjin in the wheelchair interrupted him.

Nie Wenjin patted the wheelchair armrest, and her sonorous and powerful voice formed a huge contrast with Director Li:

“Director Li, this is too much. Half of his luggage is filled with clothes and daily necessities, and the other half is filled with food. Aren’t you forcing him to hand over all the food in a different way? In this kind of environment, is it possible that he can give you all his clothes and leave the food?”

“Leave a way out for us so that we can meet again in the future, Director Li. You don’t want to be known as an artist abuser. You should be banned from future shows by the artist.”

Li Wensheng: …

Fuck!
He had always thought that Nie Wenjin was one of the easiest guests to deal with, so how come she has become like this now? !
It must be Han Fei and Qi Qingyi who led her astray, absolutely!
He said weakly:

“Listen to my explanation. I didn’t explain it clearly just now. What I meant was that he should keep half of the food and we should keep the other half…”

Before he could finish, he was interrupted again. This time, it was the sound of footsteps coming from behind the two PDs.

The PDs turned the camera around, and the faces of a man and a woman were still captured. However, unlike the romantic atmosphere just now, the scene in the camera was so beautiful that people dared not look directly at it.

The two were in close contact, and the man didn’t let the girl take even a step.

But not carrying on the back, let alone hugging.

Han Fei held Qi Qingyi between his arms and ran over with her in his arms.

It was almost the same posture as kidnapping a cat or dog at home, except that the cat in Han Fei’s arms was either a husky or a cow cat, either way, it didn’t look very honest.

The latter seemed to be a little dizzy, or more likely to have hit his stomach when he was clamped. He was about to roll his eyes and was using his last bit of strength to pinch the soft flesh on Han Fei’s waist.

Han Fei put her down with a grin:

“Oh, it hurts, it hurts – what are you doing? You run so slowly, can’t I bring you here? How can you be so ungrateful!”

Qi Qingyi squatted on the ground without any image and retched twice, then wiped her mouth and turned around to glare at him:

“You can hug me, carry me on your back, or even drag me. Why do you have to run with me in your arms? You just want to mess with me!”

Han Fei wanted to retort, but the speakers on the waists of the four PDs around them started to sound at the same time, forming a 360-degree surround sound without blind spots.

Li Wensheng roared in intolerance:

“Han Fei, what are you doing?! I’m communicating and explaining to other guests! Don’t interrupt!”

Han Fei thought, damn, the children of the sponsors are just different. When it comes to things that everyone is doing together, Director Li only dares to criticize me and doesn’t even dare to mention Miss Qi’s name. He is truly a running dog of the class enemy.

He snorted and pointed to the open box on the ground and said:

“It’s because you, Director Li, were planning to trick us that I came over to interrupt you.”

“Stop haggling over prices. It’s pointless. Director Li, give me a definite answer on how to put the things in the box. If everyone agrees, then we can just do it.”

“How long will it take for you to keep asking for more money?”

Li Wensheng was silent for a long time before speaking through the loudspeaker:

“The production team doesn’t mean to make things difficult for you, but this episode is a special desert island project. If you have so much food, will you have to stay in the shelter until the end of the recording?”

“Think about it yourself. The shelter is natural now. The clothes you spread on the ground are all brought by the guests. You can use the pots and pans you exchanged yesterday as long as you want. There are fresh water resources on the island, and the dead branches and leaves everywhere on the ground can be used as firewood. You can say that the only thing missing is food.”

“If all the food is ready, would you still be willing to move?”

“The audience has been watching you eating, drinking and having fun on the island. Is this still desert island survival? Why not just change the name to a holiday island promotional video!”

Han Fei nodded rarely, indicating that he understood the difficulties faced by the production team:

“I understand, I understand. It’s not easy for the production team to organize such a project. Everyone needs to eat. I won’t make it difficult for you.”

“Um – Rentuo, do you think what I said makes sense?”

“Let’s do this. Take out the half box of food you brought, count it, and then give half of it to the production team. We’ll keep the rest. Including you, there are nine of us. There won’t be much left after dividing this amount. Let’s eat it for fun and treat it as a snack. How do you think?”

As he spoke, he turned his back to the camera and winked at the other three people present.

Although no one quite understood what he wanted to do, one could guess from his expression that he must have some tricks to trick the program crew.

So Nie Wenjin and Qi Qingyi were the first to nod and express their opinions:
“I think it’s okay.”

Once Nie Wenjin expressed his opinion, Ren Tuo naturally no longer had any idea of ​​objecting.

He smiled indifferently:
“All right. I’ll listen to you all.”

After getting everyone’s approval, Han Fei turned to look at the PDs, as if he was looking through the camera at Li Wensheng in the control room:
“Director Li, what do you mean?”

Although Li Wensheng was a little suspicious and not sure why this guy suddenly changed his nature, he still agreed after hesitating for a moment.

“Okay, let’s do it this way. Thank you for your understanding.”

After friendly negotiations between the guests and the program team, Han Fei took off his coat and threw it on the beach. He then pulled Qi Qingyi and Ren Tuo together and began to rummage things out of the box, counting each item and throwing it on the clothes.

“Let me count the total…”

“Oh, a total of six bags of instant noodles with Sichuan pepper and beef, three boxes of self-heating hot pot, three boxes of self-heating rice with bamboo shoots and fried pork, three tubes of original potato chips, two bags of Oreo cookies, five cans of luncheon meat and braised pork, and these individually packaged snacks…”

“Except for the lollipops, there are a total of forty items.”

Han Fei put the food he had counted on the left side of his clothes, and only the loose lollipops wrapped in a plastic bag were left on the right side.

Li Wensheng at the control console suddenly had a bad feeling.

Sure enough, he heard Han Fei say:
“Hey, what a coincidence! There are also 40 lollipops in this bag. No need to return more or pay less!”

“Come on, PD, hold on to this bag of lollipops. Don’t let them fall out. The audience is watching me counting them. I can’t deny it!”

“Then it’s decided. We keep forty of them and give the other forty lollipops to the production team. It’s fair and equitable, right?”

Li Wensheng: …

Damn, I really shed a few sad tears for myself.

How could he be so naive that he actually believed that Han Fei would be considerate and stand on the program team’s side?

My tears must have just flooded back into my brain, which made me believe him like a fool!
Han Fei looked at PD sincerely:

“To show your sincerity, you can search Ren Tuo’s body, so that we won’t be accused of smuggling something with him and come back to pick a fight with us.”

“I’m very considerate, right?”

Li Wensheng suddenly didn’t want to cry anymore and even wanted to laugh.

Although Han Fei tricked the program team, he also gave them an opportunity to search for Ren Tuo.

good boy!
He really deserves to be the undercover agent!
