My Ex-Wives: A Life I Long For

Page 35

The director calmly said, "Meat skewers: 20 ears of corn per skewer; vegetarian skewers: 10 ears of corn per skewer!"

Everyone: "..."

He Jiong roared, "Director, you scheming, greasy man, you tricked me!!"

Dilraba couldn't help but complain, "It's not just a gimmick, it's so expensive! One skewer of meat costs 20 ears of corn, so one skewer per person here would cost almost 200 ears of corn!"

The director remained unmoved: "It's fine if we don't eat barbecue. It's nice for everyone to climb the mountain and enjoy the scenery."

Everyone: "..."

Su Ye glanced at Yang Mi and the others; they seemed a little hungry.

This director certainly has a deep understanding of the tricks of the trade.

Su Ye walked over to He Jiong and patted him on the shoulder, signaling him to come over.

He Jiong looked at Su Ye with suspicion, wondering how he was going to get the 'ingredients' from the director.

"Director, could you bring us ten vegetarian skewers first?" Su Ye said with a smile.

"Ten strings of vegetarian corn, that's 100 ears of corn!" the director immediately announced the number of ears of corn.

"Okay, give it to me." Su Ye said calmly.

Everyone looked at Su Ye with suspicion, wondering what he was up to.

Are we just going to 'give in' to the director's 'tactics' like this?

While everyone was still wondering, the assistant was already carrying a small box containing ten strings of various green vegetables.

Su Ye continued, "Everyone, do you think these skewers are enough?"

“Teacher, this is definitely not enough,” Zhang Tianai replied without even looking.

Mengmeng whispered, "Daddy, I want to eat meat~~"

Yang Mi said with heartache, "Su Ye, how about we order some meat for Mengmeng, Xuanxuan, and Xixi? Look, the children are hungry..."

Su Ye nodded and said, "Director, how about this, let's replace these ten skewers of vegetables with fifty skewers of meat!"

"50 skewers?!" Everyone gasped in astonishment.

"50 times 20 equals 1000 ears of corn!!" the director shouted excitedly. "1000 ears of corn, do you all agree?"

The group exchanged glances. There were 1000 ears of corn! Not 100!

While everyone else hesitated, He Jiong lost his focus as well.

Yang Mi tugged at Su Ye's sleeve and whispered, "Isn't this too much? Mengmeng and the others can't possibly eat this much."

Su Ye didn't reply to Yang Mi, but instead confirmed, "Change!"

"Everyone saw it, the audience saw it too, 10 vegetarian skewers have been replaced with 50 meat skewers." After the director finished speaking, he immediately instructed the assistant to make the changes.

Soon after, the stagehand brought over a large insulated box filled with grilled meat skewers.

"50 skewers, you guys order first! Don't say I'm trying to trick you." The director looked perfectly just and impartial.

"It's alright, we believe you!" Su Ye said magnanimously.

He Jiong exclaimed from the side, "Teacher Su, that's 1000 ears of corn! How long will it take us to pick them all..."

At the same time, the director asked the assistant to bring a guestbook.

"Teacher He, Teacher Su, take a look, there are 50 skewers and 1000 ears of corn. Who can sign their names to confirm?" the director said with a smile.

He Jiong immediately stepped back: "Ask Teacher Su about this!"

"Teacher Su?" The director looked at Su Ye with a smug expression.

Su Ye coughed lightly, looking puzzled, and asked, "Sign what?"

The director couldn't help but laugh and said, "That was just 50 skewers and 1000 ears of corn."

Su Ye raised an eyebrow and retorted, "I traded 10 vegetable skewers for those 50 skewers, why do you want 1000 ears of corn?"

The director was stunned for a moment: "???"

"No, those 10 vegetable skewers are ours, and you didn't trade them for corn!" The director looked around at the people, pleading for confirmation.

Su Ye smiled slightly: "We didn't eat those 10 vegetable skewers either, so why should we trade them for corn?"

The director and the entire production team: "..."

Is there such operation? ?

Yang Mi, Dilraba, and Zhang Tianai almost burst out laughing.

Chapter 57 Luckily, bragging isn't illegal these days!

"This isn't right." The director looked at the assistant director beside him: "Old Li, this isn't how it's calculated, is it?!"

The assistant director hesitated and shook his head: "No..."

"Teacher Su, please don't... let's go over it again!" the director said, a little confused.

"We gave you 10 vegetarian skewers first, right?"

Su Ye nodded: "Yes."

"And then you traded 10 skewers of vegetables for 50 skewers of meat, right?" the director continued.

"So, if we make 50 skewers, do we need 1000 ears of corn?" the director asked, shrugging.

Su Ye shook his head: "Director, I traded 10 vegetable skewers for 50 meat skewers, why would I trade corn for them?"

"No, the 10 vegetarian skewers are ours, and you didn't trade them for corn!" the director immediately retorted.

At this moment, Yang Mi, who finally realized what was happening, immediately chimed in, "We didn't eat the 10 vegetarian skewers, so why are you exchanging them for corn?"

The director stammered, "Those 50..."

"We traded 10 vegetarian skewers for 50 meat skewers, why would we need corn?" Dilraba and Zhang Tianai quickly realized what was going on and cleverly retorted.

Director and assistant director: "..."

"Alright, director, you guys think it over yourselves first. Let's start grilling some skewers." Su Ye waved his hand, signaling Da Hua to carry the skewers away.

The director and assistant director exchanged a glance, looking completely bewildered as Su Ye and his group left.

"233, the director is totally confused by this..."

"Hahaha, this director is hilarious!!"

"Teacher Su is a complete fraud!"

"The director's scheme failed, and he got tricked instead. LOL!"

"Did Mengmeng learn all her tricks from Teacher Su?"

"Is the director's IQ really that low? Did he get the job through connections?"

"The director went too far. Each skewer had 20 ears of corn. You couldn't have eaten this barbecue without having several thousand ears of corn!"

"..."

Then, everyone started their barbecue.

Dahua was in charge of fanning the charcoal and Hejiong was in charge of grilling the skewers.

Su Ye then led Xuanxuan to an open grassy area and set up her easel.

"Xuanxuan is drawing?" Yang Mi asked with a smile as she walked over with Mengmeng in her hand.

Xuanxuan smiled at Yang Mi, revealing her sweet dimples, and asked, "Auntie, can you draw?"

Yang Mi shook her head: "Auntie doesn't know how. What do you want to draw now?"

Yang Mi squatted down next to Xuanxuan and chatted with her with great interest.

Xuanxuan looked at Su Ye.

“Xuanxuan, you can draw whatever you want,” Su Ye replied with a smile.

Xuanxuan looked at Yang Mi and Mengmeng beside her, then suddenly blinked her big eyes and said, "Auntie, shall I draw a sketch for you and Mengmeng?!"

Yang Mi's eyes lit up immediately upon hearing the suggestion: "Great!"

Then he looked at Mengmeng and asked, "Mengmeng, are you willing?"

Mengmeng hesitated for a moment, but seeing the expectant looks in Xuanxuan and Yang Mi's eyes, she couldn't help but nod.

"Yes!"

"Let's begin!"

"Auntie, how about you and Mengmeng sit on the grass?"

"Is that so?" Yang Mi asked, holding Mengmeng.

Xuanxuan frowned and said seriously, "We need to get a little closer."

Yang Mi and Mengmeng, the two 'models,' began to move according to Xuanxuan's instructions.

Viewers watching the live stream were amazed by Xuanxuan's "professional" abilities.

"Is Xuanxuan so amazing at such a young age?"

"Maybe this is talent!"
