Chapter 39
Lu Qingye Is Watching the Live Stream
“Sister, your soup is too delicious. Will I be able to drink your soup every day in the future?”
The little boy looked at Meng Chuyuan sincerely, his expectation gauge maxed out.
Meng Chuyuan did not know whether to laugh or cry. “No, I’m leaving in the afternoon.”
When he heard this, his face was filled with pity, but unwilling to accept the truth he continued , “Can’t you stay? I can get the Principal Grandpa to give you a salary.”
Meng Chuyuan said, “That’s why I can’t stay. It’s not easy for Principal Grandpa. Isn’t it good for us to save him this salary money? But if you like this soup, I can write down the recipe and let them make the same one.”
He sighed softly. “Alright.”
Meng Chuyuan stroked his head and said, “Good boy.”
[Children are children after all. They’re too naive. However, the words ‘Principal Grandpa’ sound very kind.]
[Sister Meng’s reply is also amazing. I thought she would say no directly. I didn’t expect her to reply with such high EQ.]
[Just now, I was worried that the child would insist on Sister Meng staying, by requesting that she work for free or asking the chef to resign. In the end, I was thinking too much. He’s a sensible child.]
[She didn’t hurt the child’s heart. She even provided a reasonable alternative for him. Of course, this child is really sensible as well.]
[Sister Meng won another student’s heart with her delicious food and beauty.]
[If I could pay Sister Meng a salary to get her to stay behind, I would definitely want to. Boohoo.]
The chef got himself a bowl of bone winter melon soup. After drinking it, he felt that it was really better than what he had cooked himself, so he said at the top of his voice, “Students, the soup today is really good. If you want to drink it, come and scoop it yourself.”
Coincidentally, there was a student who came over to get soup. He scooped some soup into his bowl and realized that it was indeed delicious. “It really does taste better.”
Everyone saw how those who had tried the soup agreed that it was delicious, so they all came over with bowls and queued up to get the soup.
[Hahaha, the theory that prejudgement always leaves one eating humble pie never misses.]
[I really want to laugh watching this scene. Haha, they are like bees coming out of a beehive.]
[This soup doesn’t look enough.]

At the same time…
Lu Qingye had just taken a shower and was wearing a white bathrobe. His hair had just been blown dry.
He tidied his thick short hair and sat at the head of the bed. He picked up his laptop and opened his email to reply to the unread emails.
After reading his emails, Lu Qingye felt that it was still a little too early to sleep, so he found something else to do.
He heard that today was the last day of the recording of Meng Chuyuan’s variety show, so he searched for that variety show out of curiosity and happened to see that they were still live-streaming.
Meng Chuyuan and the others had just finished eating. As there was no designated lunch break for this live-stream, it was directly time for the guests to distribute gifts to the villagers and children.
The director called all the villagers, who could be invited, to the school. Then, everyone gathered on the field to give gifts.
The guests took out the gifts they had prepared yesterday afternoon and placed them where everyone could see them.
After seeing the gift Meng Chuyuan had prepared for everyone, the other two groups of guests were stunned.
Meng Chuyuan’s team had prepared a lot of snacks, and the table was filled with them. There were so many that there was no place to put them. They could only stack the boxes of pastries up high.
The students’ eyes widened when they saw the candied hawthorn. They were so excited that they asked the director when he could start.
[Sister Meng’s group has already won hahaha.]
[I feel embarrassed for Qi Zhen’s group when I see that they only have two extracurricular books. There are so many people. How are they going to split the two books?]
[There should be some students who will choose the pens and notebooks that Ke Ke bought, right? After all, they’re still in school. They are useful to them.]
[I’m guessing that elementary school students like snacks or stylish stationery. Qi Zhen’s group’s extracurricular books don’t seem very attractive.]
[I’m a foodie. Don’t worry about it! If I were there, I would definitely choose Sister Meng’s group of snacks. It’s simply suitable for both the old and the young.]
After a while, the event officially began.
As there were too many people at the venue, it was impossible for everyone to have a gift. Therefore, the production team prepared a general knowledge quiz. Whoever gave the correct answer first could go up and choose the gift they liked.
…
Lu Qingye did not know how he had continued watching the but unknowingly, he had already been watching the quiz segment for half an hour. The questions were relatively simple, but it was still difficult for elementary school students.
Almost all the students who answered correctly went to Meng Chuyuan’s group. Some took candied hawthorns, while some took osmanthus pine cakes. Soon, all of them were given away.
The other two groups would give out the gifts they had prepared through a drawing system.
The auntie in the village tasted the osmanthus pine cake and felt that it tasted good. She even specially asked Meng Chuyuan, “This pine cake is delicious. Where did you buy it?”
Meng Chuyuan smiled and said, “I made it myself.”
The auntie said, “You made it? It’s so delicious. It’s much better than what we usually buy in the shop. The cake sold in the shop isn’t as soft as this, and it doesn’t taste as authentic.”
Lu Qingye, who was watching the live-stream, was surprised when he heard Meng Chuyuan’s answer.
He did not expect her to know how to make such a thing.
…
After giving out their gifts, they took photos at the field together as a memento before leaving school.
Although they had not interacted with the children for long, it could be seen that they really could not bear to part with them. One by one, they followed them to the school gate to see them off.
[Oh my god, is this episode going to end? Boohoo, I just arrived yesterday and I haven’t seen enough.]
[Damn, we’ll have to wait another half a week for the live-stream after this episode ends.]
[Commenting before this goes viral~]
[May I ask if there will be any changes to the guests for the next episode? I’m so afraid that Sister Meng will suddenly not come.]
The recording ended here and the live-stream room displayed the words “temporarily offline, we will return in a moment.”
Lu Qingye watched as the live-stream closed. He had no choice but to watch the replay.
…
The six guests returned to their residence from school. They moved their luggage out of the house, took back their cell phones, and boarded the production team’s bus again.
On the way to the airport, the production team arranged for a live-stream interview so that everyone could interact with the audience in the live-stream room.
[The production team is inhumane. Why couldn’t they continue the live-stream just now?]
[Maybe they were leaving something special to air for the variety show?]
[It’s fine. When the variety show airs, we can watch the extra scenes.]
Director: “Everyone, you can turn on your phones and enter our live-stream. Then, you can randomly pick a few questions in the comments section and answer them on the spot.”
When the audience heard this rule, comments immediately flooded in. Everyone hoped that their comments could be seen and replied to.
Meng Chuyuan’s group’s live-stream was bursting with popularity. It was originally a group interview event, but it became her own.
That was because no one mentioned Lu Jinsen in the comments section. Even if there were some comments, there were not many.
[Sister Meng, Sister Meng, look at me. I’m your new fan!]
[Sister Meng, slap me later. I need a slap!!]
[The production team is really not bad. They finally remembered us at the end of the first episode. I like this online interview very much. I suggest more of such events.]
[I’m so anxious. Why isn’t Sister Meng taking out her phone? I’ve already thought of my question.]
At this moment, Meng Chuyuan had no intention of taking out her phone. After listening to the director, she was still indifferent.
The director saw that the situation in the live-stream was not good, so he secretly came over to remind her, “Go and watch the live-stream.”
