Chapter 142: Work is Easy

Translator: Zayn_

Bathing and burning incense in public was not an option.

However, washing his hands was not a problem.

Jiang Xuyan carefully washed his hands. Seeing Song Qingyou and the others preparing rock, paper, scissors, he couldn’t help but complain, “The drawing of lots is all about luck. Why is the order of drawing still decided by luck? Isn’t that too boring?”

“Why don’t we fight with darts?” Wei Zhengrong rolled his eyes.

“Then there’s no need to compete. Qingyou will definitely be first!” Zhao Yingnan laughed.

Wei Zhengrong asked again, “What about using all kinds of sports to compete?”

“Qingyou will still be first!”

Talent categories were not easy to compare.

In the competitive category, Song Qingyou would win.

Wei Zhengrong was a bit proud.

“That’s why luck is the fairest thing for you!”

“Everyone, the director is implying that we are noobs!”

“Guys, noobs, start pecking at each other!” Wei Zhengrong blurted out.

Everyone was speechless.

“Hurry up. The latest work time for each occupation is nine o’clock. If you are unlucky and draw a job that requires starting six or seven o’clock in the morning, you will be considered late.”

The director’s words were like a bolt from the blue to everyone.

Jiang Xuyan didn’t joke around anymore and waited for the people in front to finish their rock-paper-scissors game.

“Song Qingyou and Xu Xingzhou first.”

“Ready-begin!”

In the first round, Song Qingyou won two out of three.

In the second round, Song Qingyou beat Shu Ling again.

In the third round, Song Qingyou beat Tang Zinian.

After a few rounds, most people thought that Song Qingyou was lucky.

Only Wei Zhengrong, who was staring at the camera, noticed something was wrong.

“Wait!”

He rewound the video and suddenly said, “Qingyou didn’t win by luck, did she?”

Yu Muhuai and the others looked at the person being questioned.

“Aiya, the director found out.”

“I didn’t rely on luck,” Song Qingyou laughed. “But didn’t the director say that as long as I win, it’s fine?”

“Not luck? Then how did Teacher Song do it?” Tang Zinian was shocked.

Even Shu Ling looked at her curiously.

Song Qingyou explained, “My dynamic vision and reaction speed are not bad. Actually, all of you have signs of attacking in advance, and it hasn’t changed in the middle…”

Therefore, it was easy to see.

Everyone was dumbfounded.

Even if they used Rock, Paper, Scissors in advance, it would only be one second, right?

She could even see it clearly?

However, when they thought about Song Qingyou’s performance in Man vs Wild 3, it didn’t seem strange that she could do this.

Song Qingyou didn’t mention the second point when she saw that they were stunned.

If one had research in psychology, physics, and neuroscience, it was easy to win a game like rock-paper-scissors.

Wei Zhengrong coughed twice to remind them to come back to their senses.

“The rock-paper-scissors just now doesn’t count. It’s not fair enough, so we’ll do it again with our eyes covered later!”

Song Qingyou raised her eyebrows and said in a low voice, “The director always changes his mind…”

“Woof woof woof! The one who changes the rules is a dog, okay?”

“Director Wei, you actually like to be a dog-”

Before he could finish his sentence, he was glared at by the director.

“I didn’t say anything!”

Jiang Xuyan covered his mouth.

The others stifled their laughter.

Since the director didn’t even hesitate to bark, then rock, paper, scissors would definitely have to be redone.

With her eyes blindfolded, no matter how powerful Song Qingyou was, she couldn’t tell what the other party would choose.

Therefore, after a long time, the final result was:

Shu Ling was first, Zhao Yingnan was second, Xu Xingzhou was third, Song Qingyou was fourth, and Tang Zinian was fifth.

The director pretended to sigh behind the camera.

“Sigh, looks like Qingyou’s luck isn’t that good!”

“The culprit still dares to say such words!” Jiang Xuyan looked up at the sky. “As expected of the most thick-skinned director in history!”

Wei Zhengrong ignored him and asked them to draw lots.

“You only have one minute to confirm your chosen profession.”

Song Qingyou opened the box and drew the red and blue balls.

Inside were the words, “Plumbing, construction site porter.”

Song Qingyou’s face darkened.

In order to make things difficult for them, the production team had really written down all kinds of jobs!

“Alright, one minute is up. You can only keep one ball. Throw the other balls into the box in front of you.”

The few of them followed suit.

“Next is the time for the exchange. Remember, you can only exchange once! You only have one chance!”

The few of them looked at each other.

Zhao Yingnan was the first to speak.

“I’m a cashier at a supermarket. This job isn’t bad…”

“I’m a librarian. Other than moving books, I should be very relaxed, right?” Xu Xingzhou said.

“I’m a security guard.” Yu Muhuai smiled.

“It sounds like everyone is having an easy time!”

Jiang Xuyan smiled. “But mine isn’t bad either. I’m not a chef, but a bus driver.”

“Director Wei must have shown mercy.” Tang Zinian said, “Mine’s not bad either. I’m a kindergarten teacher, but I don’t like taking care of children. Who can swap with me?”

“What about Shu Ling?” Jiang Xuyan looked at Shu Ling, who didn’t speak much.

“Shop assistant.” Shu Ling paused. “1 want to change too.”

Everyone couldn’t help but nod. Shu Ling was so quiet in front of the camera, so she definitely couldn’t be a salesperson.

“What about Qingyou?” Zhao Yingnan asked curiously. “What is Qingyou’s profession?”

Song Qingyou had been watching their expressions the entire time.

She felt that something was wrong.

How could the production team give them so many easy jobs to do?

Moreover, the director had not shown his face, which made people feel strange!

Therefore, someone must be lying!

“I’m at the front desk[i],” Song Qingyou smiled. “I don’t think it’s challenging.”

“That’s why I want to change too.”

Shu Ling looked at them and suggested, “Xu Xingzhou, let me trade with you? I’d rather be a librarian, so I won’t have to talk too much.”

Xu Xingzhou hesitated for two seconds before nodding.

Then, it was Jiang Xuyan and Yu Muhuai.

“I didn’t sleep much last night. Being a driver is really… I’m a little scared.

Muhuai, why don’t I switch with you?”

“Alright.” Yu Muhuai agreed very quickly.

Tang Zinian looked at Song Qingyou and Zhao Yingnan, hesitating about who to trade with.

But before he could make a decision, Zhao Yingnan took the initiative to ask Song Qingyou, “Qingyou, do you want to trade with me? Although the front desk and the cashier seem to be similar…”

Song Qingyou blinked.

She was not a receptionist!

She chose a porter!

She was going to the construction site to move bricks!

Therefore, it was impossible for her to exchange with Zhao Yingnan.

At this moment, Tang Zinian walked over. “1 really don’t want to take care of children. I’d rather move bricks than face a group of children! Teacher Song and Teacher Zhao, who can switch with me?”

Song Qingyou quickly reached out her hand. “I can trade with you.”

“Qingyou?” Zhao Yingnan felt that she was being overly proactive.

“1 think being a kindergarten teacher should be very challenging.” Song Qingyou smiled.

Therefore, except for Zhao Yingnan, everyone else’s work changed once.
