The next day.
Yu Holea and Xu Tian reached the shooting location.
As soon as they arrived. Lin Zhihao imdiately walked up to Yu Holea and bowed,
"Thank you so much."
Everyone except Yu Holea was baffled by Lin Zhihao’s sudden gratitude.
Liu iyu frowned and asked,
"Hey, Zhihao, why are you thanking her? Yesterday, she almost scamd you!"
Lin Zhihao rolled his eyes and cursed her,
"If you hadn’t intervened, I wouldn’t have to pay 10 million at all."
"What are you muttering?" Liu iyu frowned and asked.
Lin Zhihao chuckled,
"Nothing. I just hope that whatever I suffered yesterday you can experience too."
Liu iyu crossed her arms. "What’s that supposed to an?"
Lin Zhihao gave her a spooky smile. "Nothing, nothing. Just... be careful with mirrors."
Liu iyu rolled her eyes.
"You’re acting weird. Did you hit your head or sothing?"
Yu Holea said nothing.
Xu Tian, beside her, leaned over and whispered,
"Did sothing actually happen yesterday?"
Yu Holea shrugged.
"Nothing much. Just saved a soul. Usual stuff."
Xu Tian blinked. "Huh?"
But before he could ask more, the director shouted,
"Alright, everyone! Get ready for the next mission."
That announcent attracted everyone’s attention, and they focused on the director.
"Today, you have to help any of the vendor boost their sales. The more vendors you help the higher your ranking is.
The winner will not have to make any food for the day. They can ask for any food they want. While the loser has to wash clothes of everyone."
"What?! That’s not fair!" Liu iyu complained.
The director grinned.
"Life’s not fair! Now go! You’ve got four hours. Pick a vendor and get moving!"
The cast scattered like ants. Yu Holea didn’t move right away.
Xu Tian tugged her sleeve. "Co on, let’s pick soone fast, or all the good stalls will be taken!"
Holea finally walked, calm as ever, like she was just out for a lazy Sunday stroll.
anwhile, Lin Zhihao had already dashed over to a dumpling stall and was shaking the owner’s hand like a ga show host.
"Sir! Let help boost your sales today! I am your guy!"
The old man blinked. "Uh... okay?"
Zhihao turned to the cara with a huge smile. "Watch and learn."
Behind him, Zhao Yiran rolled her eyes.
Liu iyu, on the other hand, was walking around looking picky.
"Too boring... too greasy... ew, seafood—no thanks."
Finally, she picked a colorful fruit drink stall with a cute banner. "This one’s perfect. Aesthetic. Pretty. And I don’t have to cook!"
She smiled sweetly at the owner. "Hi~ I’m Liu iyu. Today, I’ll make your sales go boom!"
The lady looked confused but nodded.
Fang Jinhai introduced himself, too.
Back with Yu Holea, she finally stopped at a small, quiet herbal soup stall. No custors. The vendor was dozing off.
Xu Tian looked nervous. "Uh... this one?"
Holea nodded. "Yup."
"But... there’s nobody here."
"Exactly."
Yu Holea walked up to the owner of the stall, who was a middle-aged man and calmly said,
"I can help you boost your sales. Would you like my assistance?"
The middle-aged man looked at Yu Holea before chuckling,
"Are you with that production team? Is this your task for today?"
"Yes." Yu Holea nodded.
The middle-aged man shook his head and said,
"I think it’s better if you leave. No one in the village is interested in herbal soups, and hardly anyone cos here.
Even if you shout at the top of your lungs, no one will pay attention to this stall."
Yu Holea was unfazed,
"Maybe. But I know dicine and so of the herbal soup recipes too. Let try."
The middle-aged man looked surprised. "You know about herbs?"
Yu Holea nodded. "A little."
The man stared at her for a mont, then sighed. "Alright, sure. But don’t say I didn’t warn you."
Xu Tian whispered, "Are you really gonna make soup?"
Yu Holea pulled up her sleeves. "Yup."
She stepped behind the stall and started checking the herbs in the wooden drawers.
She sniffed them, picked a few, and tossed them into the big pot with clean water.
While the soup started to boil, Yu Holea pulled sothing from her sleeve—a small talisman.
Xu Tian gasped. "You’re using magic again?!"
She raised an eyebrow. "Just a little enchantnt. For aroma."
She flicked the talisman into the fire under the pot. A tiny spark flew up, and suddenly, the sll of the soup changed.
It beca warm, sweet, and really comforting—like sothing a grandma would make when her grandchild is sick.
Across the street, a group of aunties walking by stopped and sniffed the air.
"Mmm... what’s that sll?"
"It slls like ho!"
They followed the scent and stopped at the stall.
Yu Holea handed out tiny sample cups. "Would you like to try?"
The aunties took a sip and imdiately smiled.
"This is amazing!"
"My back pain feels better already!"
More people started coming. Even a few villagers who were just passing by stopped and lined up.
Xu Tian saw how smartly Yu Holea was handling the herb stall and started to find another stall to work on.
Back at the dumpling stall, Lin Zhihao was in full salesman mode.
"Buy one, get one free! Fresh dumplings! Best in the market!"
He waved his arms and even did a silly little dance.
A few kids giggled and ca over, and their parents followed.
Zhihao high-fived himself. "Nice!"
Zhao Yiran, on the other hand, was at the counter, keeping a record of the money.
anwhile, Liu iyu was using her sweet mouth to sell the drinks,
"Hello, sister...what, you are 40 years old already? But you don’t seem that old! Truly! You have fair skin with almost no pores! Absolutely amazing!
Wanna try a fruit drink? It’ll make you look even younger!" Liu iyu smiled brightly and handed over a colorful drink.
The lady giggled. "Aiyo, you’re such a sweet talker. Alright, I’ll buy one."
"Yes! Thank you!" iyu quickly handed her the cup and looked around for more "targets."
She spotted a group of middle school girls walking by and ran up to them.
"Hey cuties~ want sothing refreshing and pretty for your photos?"
The girls whispered among themselves, then walked over to buy drinks.
iyu gave the cara a wink. "Charm always wins."
Suddenly, her eyes fell on Yu Holea’s stall, which was only a few ters away.
Seeing the crowd at Yu Holea’s stall, a hint of jealousy appeared in Liu iyu’s eyes which she quickly hid.
She tried her even harder to sell more goods. However, she was only able to attract 10 or so people.
After half an hour, Yu Holea finished selling all the herbal soup.
The middle-aged man looked at Yu Holea as if he would worship her any second.
"Girl, why don’t you leave the entertainnt industry and co here? I will give you 50% profit!"
The live stream comnts instantly turned wild,
"Though Yu Holea didn’t behave properly yesterday. It’s a fact that she is talented! "
"Indeed! She is the only female celebrity in the entire entertainnt industry who is a dically certified doctor! We can’t let her leave!"
"Yu Holea don’t agree!"
Yu Holea chuckled,
"No need."
The middle-aged man laughed.
"Haha, alright, alright. But if you ever change your mind, you’re always welco here."
Yu Holea nodded politely. "Thank you, uncle."
Xu Tian ca running back, holding a bag of tofu. "I sold everything too!"
Yu Holea smiled. "Nice job."
In the next two hours, Yu Holea found two different stalls. One of them was related to skewers, while the other one was a vegetable stall.
Xu Tian, on the other hand, in the past two hours, helped only a snacks vendor.
Yu Holea was trying to find a new stall when her eyes fell on a spice vendor.
She moved to stall, but soone bypassed her and reached there first. It was Liu iyu.
Liu iyu blocked the spice stall like a guard dog.
She turned around and smiled—not a nice smile, more like a "back off, this is mine" kind of smile.
"Oh? Yu Holea, you want this stall too?" she asked sweetly, but her eyes were sharp.
Yu Holea blinked. "You weren’t here five seconds ago."
"Well, I am now," iyu said, flipping her hair. "I called dibs."
The spice vendor looked confused. "Uh... do you two know each other?"
"We’re filming a show," iyu said quickly. "I’ll help with your sales!"
Yu Holea didn’t argue. She just said, "Okay. You can have it."
It wasn’t like she was after the spices stall. Her real target was the stall beside the spices stall. It was a
It was a tea stall.
Not just any tea stall—this one had shelves full of dried flowers, herbs, and leaves. The kind of place that slled good from far away and made you feel calm just by standing near it.
The old lady running the stall looked up as Yu Holea approached.
"You won’t be able to sell anything. Just leave."
