Chapter 175: Deliberately Wasting Time

Translator: Zayn_

In order to surprise the audience, Wei Zhengrong had kept the news that the second episode of All-Class Challenge would be filmed at the Jiangyuan Corporation headquarters a secret.

The publicity on the program team’s official Weibo only said that the second episode would arrange for the guests to enter the same company and experience different positions.

It wasn’t that there hadn’t been workplace variety shows before, but the format was basically the same. They would arrange for a few outstanding freshmen who graduated from famous schools to go to a company for an internship, then arrange various tasks for them to see their work ability.

The All-Class Challenge was more about experiencing the professional life of ordinary people.

Therefore, the production team would continue the rules of the first episode and let a few people take on different jobs instead of forming one or a few teams.

Of course, the work they did was the most basic.

After all, the guests were just all celebrities. If they really came to work in a big company, they might not even pass the interview.

On the day of the recording, the group of people wore formal attire and were brought to a conference room by Fang Yan under the watchful eyes of the Jiangyuan Corporation’s employees.

As soon as the recording started, Wei Zhengrong said that this job was a huge challenge for everyone.

For the guests, this episode would let them take on unfamiliar jobs.

For the program team, the highlight of this episode might need to be found with a microscope.

Because there were only a few days of work, it was very likely that there would be no waves at all.

After Wei Zhengrong reminded them, he asked his assistant to bring the roulette wheel over.

On the wheel were the jobs they were about to face.

Most of them were assistant secretaries, and there were also administrative jobs that did not involve the company’s operations.

Zhao Yingnan stared at the roulette in surprise and asked,

“Why is there a CEO’s secretary? If we get this, then we won’t be…”

“CEO’s secretary? Is this something we can do?”

Jiang Xuyan looked at the director as if he was asking if he was crazy.

“The CEO is the famous Mr. Jiang?”

“He’s often on the financial news.”

“I heard that he’s a tall, rich, and handsome man.”

“I haven’t seen him in person, so 1 don’t think Mr. Jiang will appear on camera.”

The others didn’t understand either, but as they talked, the topic changed.

Song Qingyou didn’t interrupt the whole time. Seeing that Yu Muhuai was also silent, she couldn’t help but ask, “Aren’t you curious?”

Yu Muhuai shook his head, his eyes dark.

Song Qingyou thought that the other party had no intention of talking, so she didn’t say anything else.

Although Yu Muhuai wasn’t the kind of person who was particularly enthusiastic, his presence in variety shows wasn’t low.

But just as the show started, Song Qingyou saw his tense face and his mood.

While she was deep in thought, Yu Muhuai suddenly lowered his voice and asked, “Did you have anything to do with the Jiangyuan Corporation agreeing to shoot the show?”

“Why would you think that?” Song Qingyou didn’t understand.

“Special Assistant Fang knows you.” Yu Muhuai said firmly.

“We only looked at each other, and you noticed?” Song Qingyou laughed.

“Coincidentally.”

Of course, Yu Muhuai wouldn’t say that he was used to paying attention to her.

Song Qingyou didn’t think that this was something that needed to be deliberately hidden. She explained, “Liying Venture Capital is an investment company under Mr. Jiang. He and 1 can barely be considered partners.”

Yu Muhuai didn’t comment.

It wasn’t that he didn’t see Fang Yan’s polite attitude towards Song Qingyou.

“Did Mr. Jiang ask you to sign the gambling agreement?”

“If you didn’t sign it, did he have other requests?”

Song Qingyou blinked. “I put forward the gambling agreement myself. As for the other requirements-”

She paused. “You don’t think that Mr. Jiang wants to sleep with me, do you?”

Yu Muhuai was silent. That was clearly what he thought.

“Impossible.” Song Qingyou smiled. “He’s young and promising, and he’s not bad-looking. There’s no need to play dirty.”

Yu Muhuai grunted and reminded her worriedly, “You can’t judge a book by its cover. Qingyou, you…”

Before he could finish, Jiang Xuyan interrupted their conversation. “Since a few moments ago, Xiao Yu has been whispering to Qingyou. What are you two talking about?”

“We’re discussing whether we can change jobs later,” Song Qingyou said.

Everyone looked at Wei Zhengrong behind the camera.

The director coughed lightly. “If every episode is the same, then it won’t be fun!”

“This time, in order to prevent some people from taking advantage of the situation, you will still be blindfolded.”

Jiang Xuyan and the rest looked at Song Qingyou, all of their faces expressing the same meaning, ‘The director said that you’re opportunistic:

Song Qingyou’s mouth twitched. “It’s almost 8:30. If we don’t pick a position soon, we’ll be late for work.”

Only then did the few of them react and urge the production team to hurry up.

Wei Zhengrong’s eyes were filled with resentment.

He had been thinking about how they would react if they were late for work on their first day. It would be more interesting then.

He didn’t expect Song Qingyou to see through this “scheme”.

When the others saw the director’s disappointed expression, they understood that he had done it on purpose!

“No wonder they made us nag for so long even though the show has already started recording. 1 didn’t expect them to do it on purpose!”

“I didn’t expect Director Wei to be so scheming!”

“No matter how scheming Director Wei is, it’s useless. We have Sister Qingyou!”

“Yes! Sister Qingyou is super awesome!”

Tang Zinian and Jiang Xuyan exchanged a few sentences. In addition, Zhao Yingnan and Xu Xingzhou occasionally added a few sentences. Once they opened their mouths, they couldn’t stop.

Seeing that they were going to waste more time, Shu Ling coughed heavily a few times before they reacted.

Wei Zhengrong gloated at them.

“Aren’t you the ones stalling for time? If you’re late, it’s none of my business!”

Without waiting for them to refute, he immediately announced the rules of this episode.

The rules were similar to the first episode.

However, the higher the position, for example, the highest salary of the CEO’s secretary, the higher the probability of not completing the task.

“In that case, it’s better to have a lower position.”

“Yes, it would be bad if the company’s higher-ups were difficult to get along with.”

As senior executives of the Jiangyuan Corporation, they would not be afraid of small celebrities like them.

Those who weren’t confident in their abilities would naturally be worried about the situation.

However, the position was not something they could control.

The group of people spun the wheel in the order of drawing lots.

The final job arrangement was:

Zhao Yingnan, administrative clerk.

Shu Ling, receptionist.

Jiang Xuyan, security.

Yu Muhuai, assistant in the Planning Department.

Xu Xingzhou, warehouse intern.

Tang Zinian, an intern in the marketing department.

In the end, Song Qingyou drew the position of CEO’s secretary.

“Someone actually drew the CEO’s secretary-”

“So Qingyou will be Mr. Jiang’s secretary for the next two days?”

Other than Yu Muhuai, the other five thought Song Qingyou was unlucky.

Jiang Xuyan, who originally thought that the security guard position should have appeared in the first episode, was a little disgusted.. After seeing Song Qingyou’s job, he instantly thought that his luck might have changed this time…
