The staff still treated Fang Baichen with great respect after the fact, "Mr. Fang, rest assured, we definitely won’t have any more mishaps this ti."
After saying this, he paused for a mont.
?
That’s not right.
They hadn’t actually caused any mishaps before.
Wen Qiao suspiciously stared at them for a while, then took a step forward, trying to snatch the task card from the staff’s hand to see if the situation was really as they described.
But the staff’s reaction was a bit quicker than hers, handing the card to Fang Baichen and firmly pressing against Wen Qiao’s forehead with his palm, stopping her from moving any closer.
"Let see, let see."
Wen Qiao didn’t tangle with him; she turned around and walked toward Fang Baichen.
The staff grabbed the bun on top of her head from behind and pulled her back, "It’s none of your business; you don’t need to see."
Wen Qiao stopped struggling, her expression turning serious, "What do you an?"
"Oh no, it’s that it has nothing to do with you and—" The staff pointed at Qi Ming standing aside: "You, today’s tasks have nothing to do with either of you."
Qi Ming was also startled, "Then what are we supposed to do?"
"Don’t worry, the show won’t leave you hanging." The staff gave them both a reassuring smile.
However, Wen Qiao couldn’t relax; alarm bells were already ringing in her head.
"Your task has been personally arranged by Director Li." The staff didn’t know from where, but Wen Qiao felt there was a good chance he pulled out another task card from his back pocket, seemingly reluctant to announce it, directly handing it to them to see for themselves: "Young people, you always have to pay for the mistakes you make."
The staff was referring to the yellow card penalty Qi Ming and Wen Qiao received in the escape room the day before.
After Qi Ming read it, the words "I want to terminate the contract" once again hung on his lips.
Perhaps because Qi Ming had ntioned it too many tis the day before, when Wen Qiao looked at the line on the card reading "Assist the local people in harvesting coconuts to earn project funds," the words "I want to terminate the contract" almost slipped out of her mouth as well.
She raised her head expressionlessly and looked at the staff, "Are you guys even human?"
The staff nodded, "Yes, otherwise how could we communicate so amicably?"
"...."
This was the first ti in over twenty years of Wen Qiao’s life that she had been so deflated.
Shi Koufan saw their strong reaction and also ca over to take a look.
He said, "How about I switch with you?"
Wen Qiao looked up at him and sighed, "No need, I have to pay for my own wrongdoings, even if I have to kneel."
Shi Koufan pondered for a while and looked at the staff, "How about I go with them? One more person can make it faster."
Before Qi Ming had the chance to say anything, the staff smilingly rejected his offer, "No can do, the director said this task is specifically for the two of them."
Hearing the word "specifically," Wen Qiao scoffed, "Done playing nice?"
The staff covered their mouth, "Oops, my bad, slipped up."
Qi Ming couldn’t bear to look, "Alright, this is genuinely pretentious."
The staff went back to being aloof, "Alright, you can set out now. The show has also prepared your transportation."
The group walked together towards the outside of the cottage, and upon seeing the two different modes of transportation at the door, they all fell into a silent agreent.
