Chapter 27: Chapter 27 Unsure Whether to Laugh or Cry

Chapter 27 -27 Unsure Whether to Laugh or Cry

The lottery results were announced quickly, and this time, the ones who drew Luo Ning were not the same five from the previous life.

However, there were two well-known troublemakers from the previous life, one was the rich second-generation Luo Zeyu, and the other was Shan Zhen, who had a wild character and quite the background.

Their identities would be revealed later on, so nobody knew at the moment.

The remaining Lu Ran seemed more obedient, with a more timid temperament, not daring to speak up even when bullied.

Another, Ye Zixiao, was a poor college student who looked like a sunny big boy.

Finally, Feng Yifan was the eldest amongst the five, the good-tempered big brother type.

Among the five, Ye Zixiao had the highest popularity, currently ranking nineteenth, followed by Shan Zhen at twenty-second, Feng Yifan at twenty-ninth, Luo Zeyu at thirty-third, and Lu Ran ranking the lowest at thirty-six.

Upon seeing that they drew Luo Ning, the five didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

Luo Ning had been heavily slandered recently, but she also made it onto the trending searches several times, maintaining a pretty high popularity that could boost their visibility a bit.

It was just rumored that she knew nothing, and following her as their mentor, they didn’t know if they would be eliminated in the first episode.

Especially since Luo Zeyu and Lu Ran were already in the danger zone with their rankings, and if their popularity didn’t rise in this performance, elimination was guaranteed.

The others, seeing the draw results, breathed a sigh of relief, glad not to have drawn Luo Ning.

The ten who drew Lu Xun and Ji Xinghang were quite happy, the others also feeling their luck wasn’t bad.

Some even cast sympathetic glances at Luo Yuze’s group of five, there were plenty of rumors about Luo Ning online, claiming she was a useless pretty vase with a bad temper who liked to throw her weight around.

Although being infamous was a form of fame, who wanted to be tainted by scandal? Being in a group with Luo Ning might even get them cursed out by netizens, these five were just unlucky.

All forty trainees had their phones confiscated since yesterday and were put into the training camp, so they hadn’t watched the live broadcast and were still stuck with their initial impressions of Luo Ning.

After the drawing ended, the director looked at everyone and started arranging today’s tasks.

“Today, the mentors’ task is to accompany their students in helping the villagers sell their goods, and you can take a ten percent cut as a commission, meaning for every hundred yuan sold, you can earn ten yuan.”

“For lunch, you may use the money earned to buy food, and for dinner, you will need to buy ingredients and cook.”

Wei Yao asked, “What are we selling? And where are we selling?”

The director replied, “What you sell is up to you to communicate with the villagers and negotiate for the goods, and the location is in the county.”

“By the way, all the goods sold will be priced according to the average market price, you cannot sell at reduced prices,” he added.

Playing a price war would make the goods sell easily, something the show crew would definitely not allow.

“Just knew you wouldn’t be so kind, this ‘pastoral idyll’ is actually just hard labor,” Tong Jia joked.

The director gave him a knowing look, “Alright, you may begin now.”

Each guest gathered their students and then gradually led them out.

Having worked in the village for an afternoon yesterday, everyone had a direction in mind and took their students straight to their destinations.

Soon, only four groups were left in the yard: Luo Ning, Lu Xun, Ji Xinghang, and Bo Xiangxiang.

Bo Xiangxiang said to Ji Xinghang, “Teacher Ji, why don’t we go sell fish together?”

She was lucky enough to catch quite a few fish, which she thought would sell well in the county.

Ji Xinghang’s attitude toward Luo Ning had given her a sense of urgency, so she wanted to spend more time with him to win back his affection.

Yesterday, they caught fish together, and Ji Xinghang had not done anything else, so she believed he would not oppose her suggestion.

A strange idea popped up in Ji Xinghang’s mind, making him feel it was right to follow Bo Xiangxiang.

It gave him a bit of a headache, an experience he had never had before, why did it feel somewhat ominous?

He forcefully suppressed the thought of joining Bo Xiangxiang and unexpectedly answered, “No, I plan to take them to sell something else.”

After he finished speaking, he left the yard with the five students and casually picked up a grass hat Luo Ning had woven yesterday to wear.

Bo Xiangxiang hadn’t expected Ji Xinghang to actually reject her. What was going on?

A voice inside her said it shouldn’t be like this.

She hadn’t realized that after being rejected by Ji Xinghang, a wisp of white vapor had emanated from her body and dispersed.

Luo Ning did notice, though, her lips curling slightly. Without the power of the book, Ji Xinghang was not as foolish as he had been in a past life, doing everything in accordance with Bo Xiangxiang’s wishes.

Bo Xiangxiang’s luck was composed of two parts; one was based on men’s favorability value. As long as she succeeded in making a man with high worldly luck indulge and spoil her, she could harvest additional luck value as a reward.

The second was by suppressing other women to transfer their luck; if she managed to snatch away the men or careers, fame, etc., of women with not-so-low luck, her own luck value would skyrocket while the suppressed women would become increasingly unlucky.

The second method was the seizing and transferring of luck value, which was very unfriendly to female peers and quite disgusting.

Regardless of the method, if she failed, Bo Xiangxiang’s original luck value would gradually decrease.

This also meant that the lady of fortune was not without downsides and weaknesses. Capturing this point would make things easier.

Bo Xiangxiang felt wronged by Ji Xinghang’s rejection; how could he treat her this way?

She turned her head to look at Lu Xun, her heartbeat involuntarily quickening. How could he be so stunningly handsome? He truly was her idol.

“Mr. Lu, will you be going to sell fish together?” she asked with a smile.

Lu Xun replied indifferently, “No.”

Bo Xiangxiang: “…” Why was her idol also rejecting her? Was selling fish not good?

Just as she was about to speak, Lu Xun walked over to Luo Ning and asked, “Will you be selling flowers?”

“Do you want to sell flowers, Mr. Lu?” Luo Ning countered.

Lu Xun smiled and said, “I had that thought, so I wanted to ask if you would like to join us.”

Luo Ning thought for a moment and said, “I’ll ask their opinion.”

“We’re going to sell flowers with Mr. Lu and his group; what do you think?” she asked the others.

Luo Zeyu, with one hand in his pocket, said lazily, “We don’t know what’s available in this village, you’re the mentor, you decide.”

The other four also said, “We think it’s fine to go together.”

They had never imagined that the legendary God Lu of the entertainment circle would take the initiative to ask to work together with Luo Ning. Did something they didn’t know about happen yesterday?

However, this was a good thing for them. To refuse would be foolish.

“Alright, then let’s go sell flowers together,” Luo Ning knew that Lu Xun had a huge following and popularity. By moving together, her students could feature on both broadcasts.

Lu Xun picked up two grass hats and handed one to Luo Ning. “Let’s go then.”

Luo Ning put on the grass hat and, seeing that Shan Zhen and the others were about to leave just like that, she reminded them to take one as well since it was still very sunny outside.

She had made quite a few grass hats yesterday and this morning; they could take them if needed.

Seeing that the hats weren’t ugly and that the mentor was giving them a considerate reminder, the five each took one and put it on.

Lu Xun’s students, seeing this, also each took a hat and followed them out.

In the end, only Bo Xiangxiang’s group was left standing awkwardly.

Bo Xiangxiang was so angry she felt like cursing, but still had to show a proper smile in front of the live broadcast camera, “Then I’ll take you to sell fish.”

“Sure!” The five naturally wouldn’t object.

Bo Xiangxiang walked out without going for a grass hat; she didn’t want to use anything of Luo Ning’s.

Her students had wanted to take one, but seeing their mentor leaving just like that, they could only give up and then reluctantly follow.
