Holding the heavy bag of funds, Song Yuqi felt like she had a hot potato in her arms.

Deng Chao, Chen He, and Lu Han all stared at her, their gazes never leaving her for a moment.

Chen He even stuck out his tongue and panted a couple of times to match.

Song Yuqi's lips twitched, and she turned to look at Jiang Che.

Jiang Che didn't even lift his eyelids. He simply took the half-empty bottle of mineral water from her hand, unscrewed the cap, and took a sip.

His indifferent attitude immediately made Song Yuqi abandon the idea of ​​asking for help.

Okay, but unreliable.

She tucked the money bag into her arms and cleared her throat.

"Um, the speedboat..."

Deng Chao and the other two leaned forward at the same time.

Song Yuqi deliberately dragged out the last syllable.

"It's not that you can't buy it."

"Aww!"

Chen He cheered and turned to hug Deng Chao.

"Did you hear that? Your sister-in-law agreed!"

Deng Chao nodded repeatedly, supporting his back.

"Yuqi, you're beautiful inside and out!"

"but!"

Song Yuqi raised her voice, interrupting the two's celebration.

Chen He's hand was still on Deng Chao's shoulder, but his smile froze.

Song Yuqi took a step forward, trying to project the air of an accountant.

"This money doesn't belong to Jiang Che and me alone."

She glanced at the three people.

"This is money earned by our five-husky family together."

Deng Chao and Chen He exchanged a glance.

They worked themselves to the bone to move 155 yuan, when did it become more than 10,000 yuan?

Lu Han looked up at Song Yuqi, then glanced at Jiang Che standing behind her, a smile playing on her lips.

This girl knows how to talk.

The phrase "Let's make money together" gave them face and also brought the five of them back together.

"So," Song Yuqi said, tapping her pen on the notebook, "whether to buy it or not, and how to buy it, we need to discuss it together."

Deng Chao clutched his waist, his eyes welling up with tears of emotion.

"Yuqi, now that you mention it, my herniated disc has gone back half an inch."

Chen He immediately knelt down on one knee and reached out to pull at Song Yuqi's skirt.

"Boss lady, from now on you're like my second parents!"

"If you tell me to go east, I'll never go west!"

Jiang Che walked over, grabbed Chen He by the back of his collar, and lifted him off the ground.

"Stay away from her."

He loosened his grip, and Chen He staggered to the side.

Jiang Che turned to look at Wu Zheng.

"One thousand, swipe your card."

Wu Zheng immediately waved, signaling for staff to come forward and make contact.

"Luxury speedboat access to the island, sold!"

He tapped the small wooden mallet in his hand, his smile widening.

"Now we'll move on to the second item!"

The staff lifted the red cloth on the table, revealing a beautifully packaged picnic basket inside.

Wu Zheng raised his hand to introduce.

"The West Island Starry Sky Seafood BBQ Set Meal includes two Boston lobsters, ten abalones, twenty scallops, as well as meat and vegetables, enough for five people."

"A professional barbecue chef is also included to serve you throughout the meal."

Starting bid: 2,000 yuan!

"I'll buy it!"

Chen He raised his hand.

"Me too!"

Deng Chao immediately followed.

Song Yuqi stopped the two of them.

"Don't rush."

She took out a notepad and pen from her small bag and started calculating her accounts.

"We have a total of 19,043 pieces."

"The speedboat cost a thousand, and I have eighteen thousand and forty-three left."

"The barbecue set meal costs 2,000, and after buying it, there's still about 16,000 left."

She looked up at Wu Zheng, her expression becoming wary.

"Director Wu, do we have to pay for our own accommodation on the island?"

Wu Zheng snapped his fingers.

"certainly."

The large screen behind me lit up, and several photos of the accommodations appeared one after another.

"There are three types of accommodation on West Island."

"The first option is a luxury ocean-view villa, which includes a private pool and butler service. The market price is 8,800 per night."

"The second option is a standard sea-view room with two beds, air conditioning, and hot water, costing 1,200 yuan per night."

"The third option is a camping tent, which the production team provides for free, but it doesn't have air conditioning, and there might be more mosquitoes at night."

Deng Chao and Chen He were both taken aback.

"Eight thousand eight? Why don't you just rob someone?"

Song Yuqi's pen stopped in mid-air, then she lowered her head and continued calculating.

"Buying barbecue and staying in a villa, 16,000 minus 10,800, only leaves a little over 5,000."

She frowned.

"Two days and one night, five people, is five thousand yuan enough?"

Jiang Che stood to the side without saying a word.

At that moment, he walked to Song Yuqi's side and glanced down at the numbers on her notebook.

He leaned down close to her ear.

"Ask Wu Zheng."

Song Yuqi's ears felt hot, and she almost dropped the pen in her hand.

Jiang Che continued to lower his voice.

"Isn't this the photographer who burned all the lamb skewers in Wuhan?"

Song Yuqi stepped aside half a step and raised her hand to tidy up the stray hairs by her ear.

She cleared her throat and asked Wu Zheng the same question Jiang Che had asked.

"Director Wu, isn't this the cameraman who burned the lamb skewers in Wuhan last time?"

Wu Zheng's smile faltered for a moment.

"The master's skills have been improving all along."

Deng Chao raised his hand.

That's him.

Chen He also lowered his hand.

"I don't want the barbecue set meal."

Song Yuqi drew an X on her notebook.

"It's better to do it ourselves than to pay him two thousand dollars to come."

She looked up at Jiang Che, waiting for his opinion.

Jiang Che nodded.

"Can."

Deng Chao and Chen He stared at the seafood photos on the screen, their expressions full of reluctance.

But thinking of that plate of burnt lamb skewers from last time, the two could only swallow their words.

"What about accommodation?"

Deng Chao pointed at the photos of the villa, his gaze lingering on them.

Song Yuqi recalculated the accounts.

"If you live in a villa, you won't have much money left over."

She looked up at Jiang Che.

"How about we stay in a standard room?"

"The standard room only has two beds."

Chen He counted on his fingers.

How can five people sleep?

Lu Han chimed in from the side.

"One of us can sleep on the floor."

All three of them turned their gazes to Chen He.

The expectation on Chen He's face slowly disappeared.

"Why me again?"

No one answered.

Jiang Che took the notebook from Song Yuqi's hand and glanced at the numbers on it.

"The villa, I'll take it."

Song Yuqi looked up.

"But we don't have enough money."

"I'll fix it."

Jiang Che closed the notebook and handed it back to her.

"Spend your own money and live more comfortably."

Wu Zheng immediately responded.

"The lyricist is generous; a luxury villa for 8,800 yuan a month, deal!"

Deng Chao and Chen He cheered again.

Lu Han also raised her hand and clapped twice.

Song Yuqi reached out and grabbed Jiang Che's sleeve, asking him in a low voice.

"What are you doing?"

Jiang Che looked down at her.

"Live in a villa."

"I'm asking about money."

Song Yuqi lowered her voice even further.

"We still have funds, why should you make up for it?"

Jiang Che raised the corners of his lips slightly.

"Isn't my money your money too?"

Song Yuqi's cheeks quickly became hot.

She lowered her head and scribbled a couple of lines on the notebook.

"Who wants your money?"

"You don't want it?"

Jiang Che moved closer.

Song Yuqi's pen tip tilted, leaving a long mark on the paper.

"I didn't say I didn't want it."

"Then keep it."

Jiang Che snatched the notebook from her hand to prevent her from drawing new lines in the ledger.

Wu Zheng looked at the two of them, his eyes almost squinting with laughter.

"Since we're staying in a villa, a pool party is a must."

He pointed to the prop table next to him.

"Trendy swimming rings, unicorns, flamingos, and white geese, 300 each."

"Extra-large capacity water gun, ten-meter range, one hundred yuan."

Chen He and Deng Chao immediately looked up.

"I want a big white goose!"

"I choose the flamingo!"

Just as the two were about to step forward, Song Yuqi glanced at them.

"stop."

Deng Chao withdrew his foot.

Chen He also put his hand down.

Song Yuqi closed the notepad and walked up to Wu Zheng.

"Director Wu."

Wu Zheng rubbed his hands together.

"There are also all-you-can-eat ice cream cards, island karaoke vouchers, and late-night snack gift packs, all at very affordable prices."

Song Yuqi handed over the money bag.

"The villa and speedboat cost a total of nine thousand eight."

She stared at Wu Zheng.

"Please click it."

Wu Zheng reached out to take the bag, and just as he was about to open it, Song Yuqi pulled out another five hundred yuan.

"I want both the swimming ring and the water gun."

She slapped the money into Wu Zheng's hand, then zipped up the money bag and hugged it tightly.

"Let's go, board the ship."

She turned and left, giving Wu Zheng no chance to continue his sales pitch.

Wu Zheng stood there, holding the five hundred yuan.

He didn't even have a chance to say anything about the ice cream cards, karaoke vouchers, and snack gift packs he had prepared.

Jiang Che watched Song Yuqi leave with the money bag and chuckled softly.

He stepped forward and took the money bag from her arms.

"I'll get it."

Song Yuqi looked up at him, about to refuse, but Jiang Che had already taken her free hand.

Their hands were clasped tightly together.

Song Yuqi glanced at the two clasped hands, then looked at Wu Zheng holding a megaphone in front of her, and her ears turned bright red.

"So many people are watching."

Jiang Che glanced at her sideways.

"Let's go, my little housekeeper."
