Chapter 290: 288 Training Camp Live Broadcast

Yan Yueqing counseled, "Stop crying, let’s go, we must keep up with pulling the weeds. We can’t lose to the other groups."

"Yeah, yeah."

With newfound energy, the two darted through the fields, working swiftly.

In the scorching heat of August, farm work began at the crack of dawn. By around eight or nine o’clock, when the sun came out, everyone would switch to the Gentleman’s Six Arts training courses.

After 6 p.m., when it cooled down, they would return to the fields to water the crops one more time.

Today was their first time here. They had been busy with farm work since five in the morning, later helping the team set up a classroom space and rest tents near the fields.

When Yan Yueqing arrived in the afternoon, she joined everyone in the fields for an hour before returning to the farm owner’s home.

After a bustling day, the row of handsome men and beautiful women were too tired to even straighten their backs.

Yan Yueqing took it upon herself to cook dinner, borrowing Old Man Wu’s kitchen and getting to work.

With a crowd to feed, there was no chance for fancy dishes, but a big pot meal was still doable.

Meng Chengchu volunteered to help her and steamed a huge barrel of fragrant rice in a large wooden bucket.

Old Man Wu was delighted, "Girl, your cooking smells delicious! Take down the cured meat from my rafters to cook, and here, take my dried bamboo shoots! And what’s more, the bean starch noodles I made this year, grab a bundle for your soup!"

Meng Yinge, who exercised every day, didn’t feel as exhausted as the others, despite having burned a lot of calories.

After sitting briefly, she actively came over to help Yan Yueqing.

Li Manman wanted to help too, but her legs, arms, and elbows were all sore and trembling, so she decided to rest instead of causing chaos in the kitchen. She joined a few other girls in bringing over some radishes and cabbages to peel and wash.

As evening faintly settled in, both kitchen stoves blazed fiercely.

Wafting smoke carried the scent of delicious food, stirring up everyone’s hunger.

Before long, the dishes were ready, filling three large basins!

Cabbage and vermicelli soup, stir-fried cured meat with bamboo shoots, and plain stir-fried radish strips—simple dishes, but everyone was already too hungry to wait, crowding around two tables at Old Man Wu’s house to eat dinner.

"Delicious! It’s so tasty!"

"Yueqing’s cooking skills are really something!"

"Wow, this is the first time I’ve had such delicious radishes!"

Everyone was chatting about the hustle of the day while eating, creating an exceptionally harmonious atmosphere.

The online audience started to grow envious.

[Hmph! Isn’t it just Mommy Yueqing’s cooking? Who cares if I can’t taste it? It’s not delicious at all! You people are such fakes! I’m not jealous at all!!]

[Hahaha, the person above didn’t use a joking emoji, I might have to draw my sword now!]

[This is the first time I’ve seen such an unconventional company team-building, but to be honest, the relationships among everyone do seem to have warmed up quite a bit, they look like a real team.]

[I get it, I get it! With so many people suddenly leaving Zhongxing, the others have to come together even more to endure the hardships and make it through this difficult period.]

[Farming is about testing everyone’s resilience and physical strength, but bringing in teachers to instruct in the Gentleman’s Six Arts must be a perk for the remaining artists at Zhongxing, right? They endure hardship, sure, but the sincerity here is quite serious!]

[That’s true. While other companies would rather squeeze the best years out of their artists, Zhongxing actually wants them to learn more things. By comparison, that’s really good.]

That being said, many fans still felt sorry for their idols.

Especially fans of Meng Yinge, who had been watching the live stream all day, saw her busily working in the fields in the morning, then helping to build tents in the midday, and even though she finally had a chance to rest in the evening, Yan Yueqing came in midway and stole the limelight, leaving many feeling dissatisfied.

[Having backstage support really is great, Yan Yueqing arrived just before evening, avoiding the most exhausting part of the day. She just pulled out a couple of weeds and made some food, and she won everyone’s heart!]

[Exactly, they turn a blind eye to everyone else’s hard work and just sit here blowing Yan Yueqing’s trumpet.]

[Hello, are you all okay? Starting to bash my Mommy Yueqing again? She isn’t even an artist with Zhongxing anymore! Didn’t you hear the staff introduction? She’s a special guest! A special guest joins in farming and even cooks for them, and you’re still not satisfied? Don’t be too ridiculous.]

[Why are you arguing with them upstairs? It’s unnecessary, there are more trolls in the bullet screen than there are spots in the sun, chasing after Big Boss Yue every day with nothing better to do. Don’t be mad, don’t stoop to their level.]

[I’m just stating the facts, isn’t Yan Yueqing just rich? But what has she prepared for this training camp? She comes empty-handed and cooks a meal, and that’s supposed to overshadow everyone else’s efforts? You guys are the ones awkwardly hyping her up, alright?!]

The bullet screen debate was as heated as a raging fire.

In the video, Director Tang arrived fashionably late, looking spirited, "Yo, everyone is eating already?"

Everyone shouted in unison, "Director Tang."

Following the reform incident, Director Tang’s image in everyone’s heart was no longer the resolute and determined director they knew at first!

This was the second in command at Zhongxing! The boss’s closest confidant!

Who wouldn’t show him a smiling face?

Director Tang looked at the dishes on the table, "I’m lucky, aren’t I? Just in time for dinner."

Meng Yinge, who had a good relationship with Director Tang, joked, "How come I think, Director Tang, that you specifically timed it to come for the meal?"

"How could that be timing?" Director Tang laughed heartily, admitting truthfully, "The moment I heard Yueqing was cooking tonight, I nearly floored it here."

Yan Yueqing served him a bowl of rice, "Try it, it’s just a simple homemade meal."

Director Tang eagerly picked up his chopsticks and took a bite. His expression immediately showed immense enjoyment.

Tang Tang had said many times, godmother’s cooking is so delicious!

Director Tang thought the kid hadn’t eaten many good things and was certainly just spouting nonsense!

But he didn’t expect it to taste so sweet and delicious the moment he tried it QAQ!!

Seeing Director Tang take a few bites and then start reaching for more food without any comment, everyone quickly realized what was happening.

"Eat quickly, eat quickly! Director Tang is competing with us for food!"

"Hahaha, we can’t let Director Tang eat too much."

The meal ended amidst laughter and chatter.

After eating, the artists who hadn’t helped with cooking took the initiative to take on the task of washing the dishes, while the others sat on small stools to rest, waiting for Director Tang to speak.

He had come all this way, surely he wasn’t just there for a free meal, but likely to check on their situation and give an inspirational speech.

But nobody expected that Director Tang really was just there for the meal.

After everyone was busy and then sat down neatly in rows, he finally realized something wasn’t quite right.

Cough cough... why does this feel like a formal meeting?

With the atmosphere like this, he couldn’t just back out...

Director Tang cleared his throat and, in an official tone, said a few words, "Today is everyone’s first day experiencing this life, not only feeling the hardship of farming but also personally building the site for future learning and resting..."

"During this time, you will certainly be very tired, with physical exhaustion, extreme weather, and intensive studies all continuously testing your resolve, making you stronger and more independent..."
