Chapter 503: Chapter 280_3
Shen Jinghe: "..." What kind of cooperation is this?
However... "What about my compensation? Since you plan to hire me, how much commission are you offering?"
"Hehe," Wenyan said with a sarcastic smile, spreading her hands toward the food trolley, "your compensation has already been given to you just now."
??"Just this?"
"Yes, this is something you can’t drink abroad. If it wasn’t for my persistent begging and extra money spent to find the hotel kitchen, and then making it myself, you wouldn’t be able to drink such a special beverage. The value of this bowl of ginger soup is not low, you know."
"Is that so? It’s even made by you?" Shen Jinghe nodded, "That sounds pretty good then, deal."
"Good! Then remember to wear a coat tonight, it still gets a bit cold by the seaside at night."
"I know, you better take care of yourself first."
Shen Jingxiu didn’t attend the family dinner that evening, stating that he was tired and wanted to sleep.
Except for Wenyan and Qin Yulong, nobody else at the table found his absence unusual, so they didn’t delve deeper into the matter.
Wenyan remembered what Qin Yulong had said about giving him time alone, so she didn’t mention it to Su Yang and Shen Yuan.
However, Wenyan did invite both of them to go search for the Blue Teardrop, but Su Yang declined.
"It’s too late for your dad and me to go. We don’t want to be tired during the daytime tomorrow. Moreover, your dad took me to see it when we were young, and it truly was beautiful. But you all need to make sure you stay warm and stay safe when you go out at night. The hotel should have flashlights; borrow some to use. Second and Fourth, you two are brothers, so you must protect your two sisters, understand?"
"Do you even need to remind us, mom?" Shen Jingchuan promised, "With me here, not just the two sisters, even Second Brother here would be well-protected."
Shen Jinghe curled his lips slightly: "Big talker, who’s protecting whom isn’t something you just declare."
Shen Jingchuan: "How am I just talking? Let me tell you, when I was in high school abroad, I could take on seven problem teens by myself. Back then I was just a teenager, a high school student."
"Oh really? Then it seems like you’ve regressed with age. I don’t know who ended up burning their own shelter during the snow mountain survival show."
"That was an accident!"
"Hmph, burning the shelter was an accident, so coming to me for help was also an accident? It wasn’t out of your own volition?"
"Heh, I was giving you face, alright."
"Never mind whose face was being given, I just want to know if it was I who gave you protection in the end?"
"NO, you’ve got to get it right. It was your little hut that protected me, not you personally."
"Isn’t that hut mine?"
"...So what if it is?"
"It’s not about ’so what’; you just need to answer me yes or no."
"...Yes"
"There, that settles it."
"..." Su Yang looked both exasperated and amused, "It’s really settled. I just casually give you guys a heads-up, and you start bickering. This isn’t that wilderness survival show where you have to compete for a championship. Can’t you two just cooperate for once, for your sister’s sake?"
"Exactly, Second Brother and Fourth Brother are just stubborn," Wenyan reminisced, "I remember in the show, they eventually cooperated really well, seamlessly!"
Bringing up the variety show, Su Yang suddenly asked: "Right, there’s no third season for your show? Why has there been no noise about it for such a long time? I remember right after the first season ended, you quickly started filming the second. I found it quite interesting, why didn’t you continue?"
"There was an incident," Shen Jingchuan took over, "seems like someone imitated the show, got food poisoning in the wild or something, and then it was reported. The first and second seasons have been pulled from broadcast long ago."
"Ah?" Su Yang only now learned about this incident, "That’s a pity. I was looking forward to seeing you siblings on a show together. I followed the live broadcast so fervently; I can’t believe it’s in the past now. Right..."
As Su Yang spoke, he turned to look at Shen Jinghe and the others: "You three siblings are now in charge of an entertainment company, aren’t you? Why don’t you create your own variety show, with all of you participating."
"Mom," Shen Jingchuan frowned and complained, "You really are a mom through and through. That survival show might’ve been exciting for you to watch but us participating in it was not fun at all, spending day after day either starving or freezing. If we continue filming, wouldn’t the next location end up being the desert? If we don’t die of sunstroke, we’ll die of thirst."
"Oh my, that’s true." Su Yang said, and then laughed first.
Everyone had a great time at that meal.
