Chen Ziran stood in the square, silent for a full three seconds, then slowly turned his head and looked at Chen Chu with an extremely complicated expression: "Dad, I think it might be your problem."

?

My question!

Chen Chu remained silent.

What problem could I possibly have?

Chen Ziran looked at Chen Chu and listed Chen Chu's sins, "Look at you, Dad, if you hadn't dragged me to play games every night, I might have been able to go out and do some part-time work and earn money by now..."

?

Chen Chu flicked Chen Ziran on the forehead, "You brat, you're trying to torture your dad, aren't you?"

He crossed his arms, his expression unchanged: "What's the rush? Last place is last place. Maybe it's a good thing."

Chen Ziran could no longer contain himself: "Good news? What good news could coming in last place be?"

The viewers in the live chat were practically laughing their heads off.

Ziran's expression said it all. He was probably feeling like he'd encountered a 0-10 Yasuo in a ranked game, and that Yasuo was his father.

[Ziran: I worked hard selling water and earned six hundred. My dad: Being last isn't necessarily a bad thing; we all have a bright future.]

At this moment, Ziran finally realized that he himself was the true pillar of this family.

"Dad," Chen Ziran took a deep breath and spoke in an unprecedentedly serious tone, "I have a question for you."

"ask."

"At your age, you should be taking risks. Why don't you go and try?" His eyes held a fervent expectation that his father would succeed. "Uncle Wang's son next door, Wang Zihao, his dad found him a security guard job, three hundred a day! That immediately puts him ahead of us! Three hundred a day, Dad!"

Chen Chu reached out and slapped Chen Ziran on the back of the head: "You brat, how dare you look down on your dad? Go back and finish your homework, then play a couple of rounds of jungle."

Chen Ziran's face instantly fell: "No way, Dad! Every time I jungle, you eat my F4 (F4 camps)!"

The crowd in the square gradually dispersed.

The director stepped down from the stage, holding a tablet in his hand. He tapped a few times and cleared his throat.

"Alright everyone, quiet down. I'll announce the reward for first place and the punishment for last place."

Xu Danian stood not far away, his hands behind his back, a hint of undisguised smugness on his lips.

He deliberately walked to Chen Chu's side, speaking in a voice that was neither too loud nor too soft, just loud enough for the people around to hear.

"Haha, some people talk a big game, but they still end up getting last place. They can talk a good game about educating their children, but they can't earn a single penny."

Chen Chu glanced at him. He wasn't angry, he just smiled and said, "Congratulations, your child is outstanding."

Xu Danian was stunned for a moment. He had prepared a whole host of retorts, but Chen Chu's sincere "congratulations" felt like a punch landing on cotton, leaving him completely speechless.

He stood there, his expression shifting several times before finally settling into a cold snort.

Then he turned to look at Xu Ziang beside him.

Xu Ziang was looking down, a slight smile still lingering at the corner of his mouth.

He couldn't help but chuckle slightly when he heard Chen Chu say "Congratulations".

Xu Danian immediately spotted that smile, and his voice turned cold: "What are you laughing at? Why aren't other people like you? You have no sense of humility at all!"

The smile on Xu Ziang's lips vanished instantly. He lowered his head, looking at the tips of his shoes, and remained silent.

Chen Chu, standing to the side, frowned upon seeing this. He opened his mouth, but ultimately spoke up: "Mr. Xu, perhaps it's best not to constantly scold the child. A few words of praise now and then might be more effective..."

"None of your business!" Xu Danian interrupted him rudely. "You should take care of your own son first."

Chen Chu opened his mouth, but didn't say anything more.

Seeing the situation was getting out of hand, the director, who was standing nearby, quickly stepped forward to smooth things over: "Ahem, fathers, please stop arguing."

He turned to Xu Danian and adopted a more formal tone, "Mr. Xu, your family is ranked first, but according to the program's rules, all participating families will receive a participation bonus. The bonus will be distributed after deducting taxes and will be deposited into your bank account within seven business days."

Xu Danian's expression softened somewhat, and he nodded without saying anything more.

After the director finished speaking, he turned to look at Chen Chu, a smug smile appearing on his face: "As for Chen Chu..."

Chen Chu, hands in his pockets, raised an eyebrow: "So, what's the punishment?"

"The punishment for the last place is that you and your son must do a day of charity work together, without bringing a single penny, and successfully survive outside for a day."

The director's tone carried a hint of gleeful amusement: "No money, no cell phones, and no access to any resources outside the production team. From eight in the morning to five in the afternoon, you have to figure out how to survive in the city on your own."

Chen Ziran stood to the side, paused for a moment after hearing the story, and then suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. It was good that he wasn't cleaning all the school's toilets.

But the next second he realized that he couldn't bring a single penny with him to survive in the city for even a day.

This seems to be...

It's much harder than cleaning toilets.

What a trap!

The director looked at Chen Chu, his gloating undisguised: "So, Mr. Chen, have you decided what kind of charity work you want to do? Or are you thinking about how to survive a day in the city without spending a single penny?"
