You were sent to participate in a transformation program, not to participate in poverty alleviation.

Lin Feng subconsciously raised his hand to catch it.

"This is the agreed-upon payment."

Qin Hao said with a smile.

"If you hadn't helped me with that farm work yesterday, I wouldn't have had the chance to sell the goods."

This is your bonus, 400 yuan.

The rest is on me, no problem, right?

Lin Feng held the four thin banknotes in his hand, a strange feeling welling up inside him.

As the young master of the Lin family, his pocket money used to be calculated in tens of thousands, and he could swipe a black card at will.

But these four red banknotes felt unusually heavy in my hand.

This was the first time he had earned money entirely through his own hard work, without relying on his parents.

"Is this... what it feels like to make money?"

Lin Feng couldn't help but smile genuinely, a smile more radiant than ever before.

Thanks.

Lin Feng carefully tucked the money into his inner pocket.

"I used to spend money like water, and I thought money was just a number."

Looking at this 400 yuan now, it feels more real than those millions.

He looked up at Qin Hao, his eyes showing a newfound approval:

"If you need anything like this again, just come to me. Just remember to pay me!"

"Of course! Even between brothers, accounts must be settled clearly. You'll definitely get your share!" Qin Hao laughed heartily.

Afterwards, Qin Hao brought the rice and oil into the house and placed them in front of the stunned elderly couple.

"Grandpa, Grandma, this rice will last us for a while."

Let's stew that meat tonight, everyone can have some nourishment!

The old man touched the bag of rice with trembling hands, tears welling up in his eyes:

"Child... this... this really is money you earned selling those mushrooms? You didn't do anything wrong, did you?"

"Don't worry, Grandpa, I'm completely innocent. Every penny is hard-earned!"

Qin Hao patted his chest and assured him.

However, at this heartwarming and touching moment—

"Bang!"

The courtyard gate was violently pushed open.

"There it is! Right there! I told you, I saw it all!"

The staff member who had run away earlier stormed in, accompanied by the director, assistant director, and four or five burly stagehands.

As soon as the director entered, he saw the brand-new bicycle and the supplies scattered all over the floor, and he instantly became excited.

"Haha! I knew it! I knew a rich young master like you couldn't handle hardship!"

Qin Hao, what do you have to say now?

He turned to the staff around him and shouted:

"Did you take pictures of everything? This is irrefutable evidence!"

According to the program's rules, no guest may possess cash or bank cards! They may not use family connections to obtain funds!

The staff member who filed the complaint was even more arrogant, pointing at the things on the ground and shouting:

"Qin Hao, what else do you have to say? Did you cheat?"

"Guards, confiscate all these illegally obtained items! Impound this vehicle too!"

Upon hearing this, several stagehands were about to step forward to move things.

"etc!"

A loud shout, like a thunderclap from a clear sky.

Qin Hao took a sudden step forward, blocking the way for the stagehands.

Although he was not old, his aura, honed over many years, actually made several stagehands take a step back in fright.

"Let's see who dares to make a move!"

Qin Hao stared coldly at Wang Gang, showing no sign of panic, but rather a hint of mockery.

"Let's confront each other, director."

Qin Hao crossed his arms.

"You say I broke the rules, you say I cheated."

What evidence do you have?

Wang Gang was taken aback by Qin Hao's imposing presence, but then said seriously:

"What evidence do we need? The facts are right in front of us!"

You left home penniless in the morning, but returned in the afternoon with supplies worth nearly a thousand yuan!

Besides you secretly hiding the bank card to withdraw money in town, is there any other possibility?

"that is!"

The staff member who filed the complaint also chimed in.

"Don't tell me you found the money! I don't believe you could earn that much in a day!"

"So, you're saying you're just guessing and have absolutely no evidence, right?"

Qin Hao retorted, his sarcasm deepening.

"Is this the level of competence your production team has? Is this what you call 'pursuing authenticity'?"

"you--"

Wang Gang was speechless.

Although he was absolutely certain in his heart, he did not actually capture any footage of Qin Hao withdrawing money.

Just then, the staff member's eyes lit up, and he suddenly thought of something:

"Director! Cinematographer! Old Zhang, who works with him, definitely knows!"

Old Zhang filmed the whole thing; I don't believe he would still protect Qin Hao!

Once you watch Old Zhang's tape, the whole truth will be revealed!

Wang Gang's eyes lit up:

"Right! Where's Lao Zhang? Why hasn't he come back yet?"

"it is good."

Qin Hao nodded, appearing completely unhurried.

"Since you say the photographer is the evidence, then we'll wait here."

"If what Lao Zhang photographs proves I didn't break the rules, proves this money was earned cleanly, then what about you guys?"

Seeing Qin Hao's confident and fearless demeanor, Wang Gang couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

How come this kid is so calm?

Could... there really be a plot twist?

Wang Gang's heart suddenly started pounding.

Qin Hao is the son of a sugar daddy. If he's really wronged, this young master will go back and complain to his family.

The withdrawal of 2000 million yuan is a minor issue; if the forces behind these three companies unite to target the production team, the show might have to be canceled tomorrow!

Thinking of this, Wang Gang's attitude softened slightly, but remained firm:

"Young Master Qin, if we have wronged you, then it is the staff's negligence. We will immediately fire that gossipy fellow!"

The staff member who made the complaint turned pale instantly.

"Is expulsion enough?"

Qin Hao looked at the director with a half-smile.

"How will my reputation be compensated? How will my emotional distress be compensated?"

Wang Gang felt a pang of toothache; this wasn't a child, this was clearly a negotiation expert!

"So what do you want?"

Wang Gang asked helplessly.

Qin Hao pointed to the bicycle, then pointed towards the village entrance:

"Since you say I broke the rules, if I didn't, then give me a chance to 'break' them."

Next time I go to town or city to sell goods...

"Your production team is offering me a free car and helping me haul goods, how about it?"

Qin Hao had a very clear plan in mind.

Although bicycles exist, their carrying capacity is ultimately limited.

If you want to buy matsutake mushrooms on a large scale, you still have to rely on automobiles.

Wang Gang breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this request.

As long as it's not about asking for money or making a big fuss, it's fine.

"OK!"

Wang Gang gritted his teeth and agreed.

"As long as you can prove you didn't cheat, our production crew will transport your goods from now on!"

It's a deal.

Qin Hao snapped his fingers.

Just then, a panting sound, like a bellows being pulled, came from the village entrance.

"Water...water...I'm going to die..."
