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

At 5:30 a.m., just as the sky began to lighten, the air in the Daliang Mountains was crisp and fresh.

Qin Hao was already dressed neatly and stood in the courtyard, looking very energetic.

Although Lin Feng and Su Wan beside him were still a little sleepy, they forced themselves to stay awake.

After all, today is the day to "do something important in the city".

"Let's go call the director."

Qin Hao waved and walked familiarly toward the tent area where the director's team was camped.

"Director Wang! Director Wang! Wake up! The sun's already high in the sky!"

Qin Hao stood outside the largest tent and shouted without any restraint.

A few minutes later, director Wang Gang emerged with messy, unkempt hair, wearing a military overcoat and looking resentful.

He glanced at his watch; it was only 5:40. He immediately felt his blood pressure rise.

"Oh, my young masters, what are you doing up so early?"

Wang Gang yawned, his face full of helplessness.

"This show has only been going on for a few days, and your schedule is more regular than a village rooster's. How are our staff supposed to survive?"

Qin Hao grinned, revealing a set of bright white teeth:

"Director, have you forgotten our previous promise?"

"A promise? What promise?"

Wang Gang was still a little dazed and didn't react for a moment.

"You made that promise in front of the whole village yesterday."

Qin Hao reminded him.

"As long as I don't break the rules, I'll go to town or city to sell goods next time."

The production crew offered to give me their car for free and even help me haul goods.

"Oh... that's what it is."

Wang Gang slapped his forehead, only then remembering the bet from yesterday.

Indeed, one must accept the consequences of a bet, and in order to capture footage of Qin Hao selling goods, he also had to send a car to follow him.

"Okay, okay, I'll remember."

Wang Gang waved to a sleepy-eyed driver.

"Xiao Liu, go drive that Jinbei van and give them a ride."

Driver Xiao Liu nodded, and asked while buttoning his shirt:

"Young Master Qin, where are we going? Still to Qing Shi Town?"

Qin Hao didn't answer immediately. Instead, he glanced at the slightly worn but spacious Jinbei van, then turned to Wang Gang and asked earnestly:

"Director, is this car full of gas?"

Wang Gang rolled his eyes:

"Of course it's enough. I just filled it up last night; it can easily run a hundred or two hundred kilometers."

"That's fine then."

Qin Hao nodded, then said something surprising.

"Master Liu, let's go to Yunzhou City."

"What?!"

Wang Gang and Xiao Liu both shouted out at the same time.

"Yunzhou City?!"

Wang Gang's eyes widened.

"That place is more than 100 kilometers away by mountain road!"

It takes four or five hours round trip! What are you going there for?

"Didn't I tell you? I'm selling things."

Qin Hao pointed to the two bulging snakeskin bags behind him as if it were his own business.

"The purchase price in town is too low. To maximize my profits, I naturally have to go to the city."

You agreed to lend me the car, but you didn't specify a mileage limit, did you? A renowned director like you wouldn't go back on your word now, would you?

"I..." Wang Gang choked.

He didn't actually limit the mileage, but he assumed the kids would just wander around town at most.

"Of course I won't go back on my word."

Wang Gang hesitated for a moment, then shook his head.

"But Qin Hao, the journey is too far."

You guys should at least cover some of the gas costs, right?

A round trip of over 200 kilometers, that's quite an expense.

Wang Gang wasn't really short of a few hundred yuan for gas; the key issue was that judging from Qin Hao's demeanor, this business deal would probably take a long time.

If they keep running around like this every day, even though the production team has enough funds, they can't afford to spend like this.

Besides, it would be so embarrassing to be a free driver for a rich kid and have to pay for his gas.

Hearing this, Qin Hao's smile became even brighter, but that smile exuded a "capitalist" aura that sent chills down Wang Gang's spine.

"Director, is the production team out of funds? Do we need to subsidize it?"

Qin Hao, with his hands in his pockets, said in a relaxed tone:

"We are the guests of the program, so you should be responsible for our food, clothing, accommodation and transportation."

We've already saved you a lot of money by being self-reliant and not asking you for any money.

At this point, Qin Hao leaned closer, lowered his voice, and said in a volume only Wang Gang could hear:

"Besides, director, my dad invested 2000 million in the production team, and Lin Feng's family and Su Wan's family also invested a lot, right?"

With sponsorship fees of tens of millions, surely they can afford even the gas money for this meal?

Looking at Qin Hao's "harmless" smile, Wang Gang couldn't help but feel a bit of toothache, and even his cheeks were twitching.

Being the director of "Metamorphosis" is too difficult these days!

In the past, the protagonists who were troubled by him either cried and screamed or flew into a rage. He had them all completely under his control.

Qin Hao is absolutely the first person in history to use his status as an investor to threaten the production team!

The key point is that he really can't ignore this threat.

The capital behind these three companies is incredibly powerful, each one stronger than the last.

If he really angered these three little devils over this little bit of gas money, and they went back and complained, his job as a director would be over.

"Okay...okay."

Wang Gang took a deep breath and forced a smile that looked more like a grimace.

"Young Master Qin is right, our production team is very generous!"

The production team will cover the gas! Xiao Liu, let's go!

"Alright!"

Although driver Xiao Liu was worried about the car, he had no choice but to obey the director's orders.

Following them were Qin Hao, Lin Feng, and Su Wan, along with cameraman Lao Zhang.

Together, they lifted the two large snakeskin bags, each filled with over fifty kilograms of matsutake mushrooms, onto the vehicle.

With the roar of the engine, the Jinbei van kicked up a cloud of dust and slowly drove towards the bustling city of Yunzhou.

At nine o'clock in the morning, the sun was shining brightly.

After more than three hours of bumpy travel, the group finally successfully entered the territory of Yunzhou City.

Looking at the skyscrapers and bustling traffic outside the window, Su Wan and Lin Feng both had the illusion of "returning to civilized society".

Qin Hao didn't delay and directed the driver to head straight to the "Shanzhen Pavilion" restaurant next to the upscale farmers' market from last time.

When they arrived at the restaurant entrance, just as the waiter was about to stop the group of simply dressed men carrying snakeskin bags, Qin Hao pulled out the business card the boss had given him last time and handed it over.

"Please let them know that the delivery guy for the 'fresh goods' has arrived."

Upon seeing the gold-embossed business card, the waiter dared not neglect it and hurriedly went in to summon the person.

A short while later, the portly owner with gold-rimmed glasses strode out.

He was initially puzzled as to who would come to see him so early in the morning, but when he saw Qin Hao's young and handsome face, he was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes lit up.

"Oh! It's you!"

The boss greeted us warmly.

"You're the kid who sold premium baby hair gelatin a few days ago, right?"

Oh, I've been talking about you these past couple of days! How's it going, any good stuff today?

"Boss, we meet again."

Qin Hao smiled and shook hands.

"Since I have promised you, I cannot go back on my word."

Although not all of them are the top-quality batch like last time, they are definitely authentic wild matsutake mushrooms from the Liangshan Mountains.

This is much better than the common goods you usually receive. Could you please take a look?

As he spoke, Qin Hao gestured for Lin Feng to open the snakeskin bag, revealing neatly arranged matsutake mushrooms inside.
