After Being an Improper Control Group as an Abandoned Wealthy Wife, She Effortlessly Came Out on Top

Chapter 24: Reverse Question

Due to a small situation on the director's side, the guests arrived at the mission point on time and could not proceed as usual.

In order not to delay the progress of the variety show, the assistant director stood up to assign tasks to everyone.

Today's projects are: cleaning the chicken farm, going up the mountain to pick mushrooms and breaking corn.

Each group could choose one, but if the two groups chose the same one, the hidden mission of the production team would be activated. The two groups had to complete it in order, and the winner would directly obtain the mission.

The assistant director distributed a small whiteboard and pen to each group, giving them three minutes to think. They would write the results of their discussion on the whiteboard later.

[Interesting. The production team is getting more and more interesting.]

[These three missions don't look easy. It's very difficult to choose. The key is to consider if their choices will overlap. If they overlap, they'll still have to complete one more hidden mission.]

[Personally, I think it would be better to break corn?]

"Yan Yan, which one do you want to choose?" Liao Jiake was comparatively more nonchalant regarding making choices. She mainly wanted to hear her sister's opinion.

Liao Jiayan, receiving the sudden question, thought about it seriously. "Why don't we just break corn?"

Cleaning up the chicken farm sounded like a laborious job. Moreover, it was impossible to imagine how big the chicken farm was. As for going up the mountain to pick mushrooms, Liao Jiayan did not consider it. She was afraid that she would have to walk a long mountain path. Whether she could find mushrooms was another matter.

Hearing this, Liao Jiake did not write on the board immediately. She pursed her lips and said thoughtfully, "I feel that this will clash with…"

Seeing that she was hesitating, Liao Jiayan was also unhappy. She said a little willfully, "So be it. At most, we'll just do our best during the hidden mission."

On the other hand, the Qi siblings were also discussing…

Qi Yan was afraid of chickens, so her team skipped cleaning the chicken farm and was conflicted between picking mushrooms and breaking corn.

After serious consideration, Qi Zhen gave Qi Yan an answer. "Sister, let's go pick mushrooms."

"Why are we picking mushrooms? Can't we break corn?"

Qi Yan did not want to go up the mountain. She felt that it was quite good to be breaking corn in the fields. Although it might be a little hot, it was better than being in the mountains.

Qi Zhen frowned. Without changing his expression, he said, "This one will probably clash with the others."

He did think that it would be easier to break corn. Even if Meng Chuyuan's team did not choose this, it did not mean that Liao Jiake's team would not choose to participate in this mission.

Instead of clashing with them, it was better to choose a safer option. That would save them a lot of trouble.

"What if it doesn't? I'll take a gamble." Qi Yan did not continue discussing with him and wrote breaking corn on the whiteboard.

[These two groups actually collided again!]

[Yesterday, it was fish, and today, it's corn. These two groups have quite a tacit understanding. Why don't they consider forming a group?]

[I'm suddenly looking forward to the hidden mission. I wonder who will be the final winner.]

[Hahaha, these two groups have already finished discussing. There's still no news from Sister Meng's side.]

The whiteboard was in Lu Jinsen's hands. Seeing that Meng Chuyuan did not speak, he could not make up his mind.

After a long while, Lu Jinsen took the initiative to ask, "Which one should I choose?"

"Which one do you want?"

"Breaking corn?" There was a hint of doubt in his tone.

"Then…"

When Lu Jinsen heard this, his eyes sparkled. Just as he was about to pick up his pen and write it down, he suddenly heard—

"Let's pick mushrooms."

Lu Jinsen: "…"

[I'm dying of laughter. Sister Meng's plot twist is a little too extreme. Even Lu Jinsen is shocked.]

[This was an unorthodox choice, but I think picking mushrooms is not bad. Anyway, the others have already chosen to break corn. There's no need.]

[Sister Meng: I don't care what you're thinking]

[Lu Jinsen: The last time I was so speechless was last time.]

"Write pick mushrooms." Meng Chuyuan looked up at the dumbfounded Lu Jinsen. "Are you illiterate?"

Lu Jinsen glanced at her and said helplessly, "Didn't you just ask me which one I wanted to choose?"

"That's right. Didn't you ask me too just now? You wanted to break corn, but now I want to pick mushrooms."

[Sister Meng asked just to be polite, but she had no intention of listening to Young Master.]

[Sister Meng: If you want to break corn, I won't let you have your way!!!]

[Young Master, haven't you figured out your place? Of course, you have to listen to Sister Meng. Your decision isn't of much value.]

[Sister Meng is rebellious, hahaha.]

[I feel that Sister Meng must have known that the others were going to choose corn, so she deliberately chose mushrooms. However, this is quite good. There's no more need for them to compete with the others.]

After the discussion, the three groups lit up their answer boards at the same time.

Other than Meng Chuyuan's group who chose to pick mushrooms, the other two groups chose corn.

After the assistant director finished looking at the results, he announced, "Alright, the mushroom pickers can go up the mountain now. The remaining two groups have to complete the hidden mission of our production team…"

Meng Chuyuan and Lu Jinsen saw that they had no more business here, so they followed the experienced villagers up the mountain.

Lu Jinsen seemed to be in a daze. On the way to pick mushrooms, he could not help but ask, "Did you choose to go up the mountain to pick mushrooms because you knew that they would choose corn?"

Meng Chuyuan glanced at him and said calmly, "You're thinking too much. I just don't want to see you relax."

[Young Master must be thinking that his feelings are one-sided. ]

[I knew Sister Meng was up to no good.]

[Sister Meng's foresight is godlike. She definitely knows. I think she probably just doesn't want to communicate with Lu Jinsen now. Hahaha.]

It took them more than ten minutes to walk into the mountains, but they did not find anything along the way.

The villager who led them into the mountain was worried that they would be disappointed if they did not pick any mushrooms. He comforted them, "We walk this path often. The nearby mushrooms would have been picked. You should be able to see them if you go a little deeper."

Hence, they continued forward.

When they reached deeper into the forest, Meng Chuyuan and Lu Jinsen began to search thoroughly, not missing a single inch of soil.

Meng Chuyuan searched for a while and finally found mushrooms sticking out from under the vegetation.

"I found it," she said.

When the others heard her voice, they rushed over. Even the cameraman hurriedly followed her to film.

Lu Jinsen asked, "Where is it?"

Because there were too many fallen leaves on the ground, it was impossible to determine the location of the mushrooms.

Meng Chuyuan held a branch in her hand and pushed aside the fallen leaves nearby. Soon, everyone saw it.

The villager went over to take a look and said with a smile, "Child, you're so lucky. These are pine mushrooms. There are very few of them here."

Meng Chuyuan raised her eyebrows and said playfully, "Then I'm really lucky."

[I didn't expect Sister Meng to be so lucky. She picked pine mushrooms on her first trip up the mountain. I'm so impressed.]

[Sister Meng, I just went to Baidu. There are indeed very few pine mushrooms in their area!!]

[These pine mushrooms look quite good. Look, even the local villagers are envious of it, let alone me. Boohoo.]
