56: The production team paid me to take your money and cook for you.

Gao Xiaofan tugged at his clothes and swayed back and forth in front of the camera. To be honest, he didn't even know what the Zhao Group did, but since Brother Quan had sent so many gifts, he had to give him some advertising no matter what.

The fans in the livestream room were speechless as they watched those four characters swaying back and forth across the screen.

Standing ahead of him, Qu Lang's face was lined with frustration. Was there ever such a blunt advertisement? However, thinking about the behemoth that was the Zhao Group, he restrained himself and didn't say anything.

After swaying for a while, Gao Xiaofan's large face, grinning with teeth showing, reappeared in the livestream room.

"I said I wanted to be with Reba. What's that called? It's called 'Words Become Reality'!"

The fans in the livestream room were all speechless upon hearing Gao Xiaofan's shameless words.

What does that have to do with you at all~

However, no one said anything; the entire livestream room was filled with laughter and joy. Liu Yunning's fans had already left the livestream room dejectedly.

"I'm truly stunned~ Brother Quan actually... it's hard to imagine."

T-City Wu Yanzu: "The biggest mining overlord in this city is the Zhao Group. I saw it as soon as Brother Wo Zi changed his clothes. This work uniform is basically a household name around here."

"I just went to check. Zhao Group, assets in the hundreds of billions. The only son of the Zhao Group's head is named Zhao Fu!!!"

"A true Godly Tycoon... so envious."

Gao Xiaofan topped the list with a gift value of 9.94 million, Liu Yunning was second with 6 million, and the bottom four were unexpectedly Reba, Han Han, Cheng Seventeen, and Exploding Watermelon.

In the ten-minute broadcast, 9.86 million was sent by Intentional Punch alone, while the remaining 80,000 was sent by other fans in the livestream room.

No one had expected such a result. They thought Liu Yunning jumping out was already terrifying enough, but they didn't expect someone to be even more ferocious than him~

Han Han's face was extremely grim. It was one thing for other celebrities to be above him, but he didn't expect internet celebrities to ride over his head too—and two of them at once.

"Alright, time's up. Everyone, start choosing your teammates in order." Qu Lang was the first to react, quickly speaking to interrupt everyone's thoughts.

Under everyone's gaze, Gao Xiaofan walked up to Reba and said calmly.

"I choose Reba."

No one was surprised. This kid hadn't hidden anything when interacting with his fans, and his voice was so loud that everyone heard him clearly.

Afterward, the others also quickly selected their teammates.

Gao Xiaofan and Reba.

Liu Yunning and Mi Mi.

Hua Hua and Cheng Seventeen.

Han Han and Exploding Watermelon.

Qu Lang looked at the four teams of guests standing separately. Ignoring their inner thoughts, he spoke into the microphone.

"OK, now pick your own houses. Two people per room."

Gao Xiaofan blinked and then looked at Reba, signaling with his eyes. The two of them were the first to leave, each carrying their own suitcase.

Soon, Gao Xiaofan arrived back at the entrance of the temporary house he had stayed in three days ago.

"How's this place? You stay in that inner room, and I'll take the main hall."

Reba looked at the house in front of her. Although she didn't understand why he chose such a remote place, she still nodded.

"Mhm, it's fine. I'll have to trouble you to take care of me later on."

Gao Xiaofan looked at the furnishings in the house; they were exactly the same as before he left, without the slightest change.

Then he began to tidy up simply, pushing open the window to air out the room.

In the bullet chat, the two groups of fans were enthusiastically mingling.

Reba is the Most Beautiful: "*Slurp*, why did your Streamer take our Reba to such a remote house?"

Wo Zi Army - Zhang Dali: "Hehehe, Brother Wo Zi is the best at pulling stunts~ Looking forward to it."

Edison: "I hope Brother Wo Zi speeds up. Everyone else has already finished tidying their rooms."

Wo Zi Army - First-Class Competitive Fishing Master Yu Weibao: "Just asking out of curiosity, if you like Reba, why don't you go to Reba's livestream room?"

Most Love Reba: "Sending bullet chats here, Reba can't see them, so it's more convenient for us to chat~"

...Mi Mi silently unpacked the quilt. As the boss of Agency, she had seen her fair share of the world in the industry, but everything that had happened these past few days had indeed caught her off guard.

After unpacking the brand-new quilt on the bed and laying it out on the wooden board bed, she couldn't help but look at the furnishings in the room again. Aside from the bed, there was nothing else; there really was no need to even tidy up.

Walking out of the room, she saw Liu Yunning waiting in the main hall.

"Liu Yunning, why don't we go find the Program Production Crew? Maybe it'll trigger some kind of task. What do you think?"

"Alright, Sister Mimi." Liu Yunning nodded.

Then the two of them walked out the door. The same situation was happening with every team; after tidying up, they all headed towards the place where they had just gathered.

But when everyone arrived, they discovered that the Program Production Crew of dozens of people, along with their equipment, had already vanished. Not even a single hair was left.

When Gao Xiaofan and Reba arrived, they saw a bizarre scene: the guests were all looking at each other in bewilderment.

Meanwhile, the bullet chat was laughing like crazy.

"I'm dying of laughter. I was wondering why the big screen wasn't showing any video footage. The Program Production Crew is gone!"

"It's official! The name of this variety show is: Show You a Face!"

"Did the Program Production Crew drive their cars away too?"

The words in the bullet chat also reminded the various guests, who all trotted towards the parking area, only to find that those were gone too.

Gao Xiaofan watched as several teams ran off. He glanced at the curious Reba beside him, shook his head, and turned to walk into the village. Reba looked around and followed him.

Since the people were gone, what did it matter if the cars were there or not? The filming location of the program was in Xiushui Village; unless you weren't participating in the show anymore, you had to stay.

The Program Production Crew must be in the village. Moreover, he remembered there was a Cooking Auntie in the village. It was impossible for the Cooking Auntie to be gone too; someone had to cook for them to eat.

Thinking of this, Gao Xiaofan quickened his pace. Qiu Gu followed behind without a word, his camera locked on the perspective.

"Hey, Qiu Gu, can't you reveal something?"

On the way, Gao Xiaofan kept pestering Qiu Gu, who kept his mouth shut and didn't say a word, making Reba behind them laugh non-stop.

When they reached the entrance of the Cooking Auntie's house, sure enough, the Cooking Auntie was still there, currently sitting on a small stool, leaning against the doorway.

"Auntie, do you know where the people from the Program Production Crew are?"

The Cooking Auntie looked at Gao Xiaofan with a speechless expression and pointed to the cameraman behind him.

"Aren't they right behind you?"

In the bullet chat, the audience was watching with great interest.

"Is it possible that this auntie is an NPC in the program?"

"Hahaha, the auntie looks so speechless."

"I just went to check on the other teams; they're still standing there dazed."

Gao Xiaofan scratched his head and then asked.

"So, will we still be eating here from now on?"

The Cooking Auntie nodded.

"Twenty yuan per person."

Gao Xiaofan: ???

Reba: ???

"No, we're participating in the program. Didn't the Program Production Crew give you money?"

Gao Xiaofan couldn't help but ask.

"Exactly. The Program Production Crew gave me money to make me take your money to cook for you."
