Chapter 281: Chapter 282: Bring it On, Battle!

The time for rest always passed quickly, and after enjoying her mother’s attentive care for a few days, He Jinxia took a plane to Province X on August 5th.

Calculated by the program team’s schedule, she entered the filming site of "Original Inn" by the waterway in a boat in the evening.

Enjoying the evening breeze blowing over the lake, He Jinxia looked up and saw many stars had already appeared in the sky, which was not yet completely dark, twinkling brightly and dazzlingly.

Since last year’s filming until now, it had been rare to have such quiet moments, and she suddenly felt some anticipation for the shooting of "Original Inn."

According to what Luo You said, this was a reality show that emphasized a slow pace of life, and she quite yearned for that leisurely lifestyle.

It was an experience she had never had before.

Unfortunately, her desire to live a leisurely life on the show was destined to be a luxury.

As soon as she disembarked to the pier, she was greeted with Sister Xiao Xiao’s screaming and running towards her.

Sister Xiao Xiao opened her arms and embraced her passionately, and He Jinxia had a premonition that the upcoming days would definitely be full of fun and interest.

Then she saw Zhang You among the tardy staff and her heart sank slightly, adding another phrase in her mind: fraught with danger.

She hadn’t heard from Luo You that Zhang You would also be coming to the show, so either Luo You kept it from her or they were all played by the production team.

He Jinxia was on guard internally, but still maintained a smile on her face and greeted each member of the inn.

The celebrities within "Original Inn" were not strangers to her, as she had participated in Deng Xiaoxiao’s show "Today’s Hot News," and they had also chatted on W-chat. What surprised her was that Zhang Yuanyuan was also there.

This underage celebrity smiled sweetly and coyly as she happily greeted her.

Additionally, there were a celebrity couple among the inn’s members, along with Deng Xiaoxiao’s husband.

Looking around, He Jinxia felt as if she knew many people in the industry, randomly picking a reality show, and she already knew three out of the six celebrities present.

It was a bit chilly in the inn at night, so after socializing outside a bit, everyone moved indoors.

Red wine and fruit juice, a rich dinner, and lit romantic candles, this was how "Original Inn" welcomed a new member.

Huaxia’s unique dining table culture made many accustomed to chatting while eating, and it was even more relaxing with a bit of alcohol.

However, due to the presence of the underage girl Zhang Yuanyuan, and knowing He Jinxia did not drink, Deng Xiaoxiao had specially prepared grape juice for them.

The color of the two beverages was similar, and they could still toast with glasses filled.

"First of all, let us warmly welcome our new member—He Jinxia, to join ’Original Inn,’ becoming one of the staff here!" Deng Xiaoxiao spoke first, picking up her wine glass.

The other people also followed with welcomes, picking up their drinks.

He Jinxia smiled warmly and generously, saying "Thank you, thank you," and picked up her wine glass as well.

Several glasses clinked together, producing a crisp and pleasant "ding-dong" sound. He Jinxia gave face to Deng Xiaoxiao, and drank all the fruit juice in her glass in one go.

Seeing this, the others hurriedly said she was a heroine among women.

He Jinxia put down her glass, straightened her back, clasped her hands, and bowed to them, showing quite the demeanor of someone from the martial arts world and played it cool saying, "You flatter me, you flatter me."

Deng Xiaoxiao chuckled slyly, cunningly taking out a bottle of red wine and attempting to pour it into her glass.

"Come on, if you can finish this glass in one gulp, I’ll start calling you sister!"

He Jinxia quickly hid her glass in her bosom, clutching it tightly, "No way, I’ve had enough, can’t drink anymore!"

Deng Xiaoxiao gradually approached her, a sleazy smile forming on her face, and continued with a chuckle.

He Jinxia quickly stretched out a hand and waved it at her, trying to shoo her away while declaring righteously, "No, I refuse!"

Zhang Yuanyuan watched the scene, laughing hysterically on the table, gasping, "Why does it feel like Ultraman fighting evil forces!"

One of the female celebrities in the couple, Liu Xiaoqin, also laughed, "It turns out this Ultraman can’t beat the little monster, and the little monster is about to overpower Ultraman."

During the conversation, Deng Xiaoxiao had already hugged He Jinxia, making her let go.

He Jinxia shook her head resolutely; she wouldn’t let go, no matter what, she wouldn’t let go even if she died.

The two held a stalemate for a while, neither able to overpower the other, and finally, it was Deng Xiaoxiao who let go, pulled back by her husband Luo Sijie.

Luo Sijie laughed and said to Deng Xiaoxiao, "You just pounced like a big bad wolf, and Jinxia is like a little white rabbit, you were about to devour her."

He Jinxia, watching them, could already visualize the post-production scene in her mind, surely there would be a dramatic BGM:

"Little rabbit, be good, open the door, open it quickly, I want to come in~ I won’t open, I won’t open, mom isn’t home, I won’t open for anyone...."

Awkward~

After the commotion, everyone started eating. After filling up, they cleared up the dishes and put out fruits and snacks.

It was then that Deng Xiaoxiao announced the duties He Jinxia had to perform as an inn employee, with different tasks every day.

"For the first two days, you need to arrange a themed room, which guests will come to stay in and then rate. There will be a price list on the evaluation form, and the guests will score based on the room you set up. The better their experience and value for money, the higher your score will be."

"As for that price list, it’s a choice for the guests to decide how much they would pay to stay in such a themed room for one night, with prices ranging from a thousand yuan a day to as low as fifty yuan."

A thoughtful expression crossed He Jinxia’s eyes, foreseeing the importance of the price list evaluation.

She hoped not to get the highest evaluation of a thousand yuan per night, but at least she shouldn’t get the lowest.

Possibly for the show, getting the lowest evaluation of fifty yuan per night would be more sensational, but He Jinxia thought about it and decided to steer clear of that sensationalism.

To admit it, it would be... embarrassing.

How bad would the arrangement have to be to receive that evaluation?

Deng Xiaoxiao didn’t reveal any tasks to be performed after setting up the themed rooms, leaving a suspense that made everyone else very curious.

"By the way, volunteer Zhang Yuanyuan is your assistant the day after tomorrow. She will help you with shopping and room setup. Zhang You will also be setting up a themed room to compete with Jinxia, and your budget is only five thousand yuan."

In conclusion, Deng Xiaoxiao added a remark.

"Wow, that sounds intense!"

"Are they being tasked as interior designers?"

The others remarked all at once, when the young male celebrity Ji Jiaming suddenly asked, "Is this a battle?"

As soon as he spoke, the room fell silent.

The next second, the others burst out with intense enthusiasm, "Hold, hold, hold! Let’s have a battle!"

"Battle! Battle! Battle..."
