Chapter 143: Chapter 143: The Man with a Lot of Schemes

The production team naturally wouldn’t provide them with a car.

But Wang Xiaotian quickly thought of a solution.

He took the group outside and then stood by the roadside with his thumb up.

Clearly, he was planning to find a kind-hearted person to give them a ride.

But... after standing by the roadside for quite a while, no car was willing to stop. The only one that did stop, upon seeing several other people nearby, also shook its head and drove away.

"Alas, it looks like we can’t get a ride. We might as well walk, it’s not that far anyway." Wang Xiaotian shook his head and came back regretfully.

The place they were renting was only about two or three kilometers away from the Eiffel Tower, so they really could walk there.

But Wu Mu was a bit too lazy to walk.

"Let me give it a try."

What are you trying to try?

Wang Xiaotian watched Wu Mu walk to the side of the road and raise his thumb, just like he had done, and instantly felt annoyed.

What does this mean! Do you think your team leader can’t stop a car and you can?

He was just about to exert his authority as team leader and loudly reprimand the disrespectful behavior of this misguided team member.

But...

On the road side, a car that had already passed by a bit stopped on the street and backed up slightly.

A young girl with light golden hair and some freckles on her face stuck her head out of the window and seemed to be saying something.

She was speaking French, which Wu Mu and the others couldn’t understand.

However, seeing their expressions, the freckle-faced girl soon realized, and she stuttered a bit, "Ni hao, need help?"

Not only did someone stop right away, but they were also trying hard to communicate in Chinese.

Lu Yao laughed, "Xiaotian, you’re really embarrassing yourself."

Yu Ke also couldn’t help but suppress a chuckle, the stark contrast was just too funny.

At this time, Wang Xiaotian had a cold expression.

Heh, he was really foolish, really.

He knew about the face-obsessed in his own country but didn’t expect the French to be even more so.

Wu Mu also smiled slightly, seeing that the freckle-faced girl wasn’t fluent in Chinese and not wanting to torment her, he asked in English, "We would like to hitch a ride to the Eiffel Tower. Can you take us there? How did you know we are from Hua Country?"

The freckle-faced girl wasn’t exactly face-obsessed, but...

She looked up at the rather dazzling young man in front of her, her heartbeat slightly quickened.

He was a bit too handsome!

She pointed rather shyly at the panda pendant hanging on the bag carried by Lu Yao, "I figured it out from that. We have Chinese classes at school, but I’m not very good at it."

"You’re already doing great," Wu Mu laughed.

The freckle-faced girl was naturally willing to give them a ride.

But their group of five could not fit in one car.

Wu Mu then copied his previous method and flagged down another car by the roadside.

Riding in the cars of passers-by, they quickly arrived at the foot of the Eiffel Tower.

Before leaving, the freckle-faced girl was quite nervous and asked for Wu Mu’s contact information.

Yes, she only asked for Wu Mu’s.

Zhang Haoran and Lu Yao, although quite handsome and beautiful, did not quite fit her aesthetic.

As for Wu Mu... with looks like that, who needs aesthetics!

They had arrived at the Eiffel Tower. As a landmark of Paris, naturally, the place was swarming with tourists.

The ticket entrance was already filled with queues, and the open area next to it was crowded with people wanting to take pictures with the Tower.

Among these people, there were individuals from all nations and ethnicities across the globe.

A significant portion of them were people from Hua Country.

The French girl earlier hadn’t recognized Wu Mu and his group, but some from Hua Country did.

"Isn’t that Wu Mu?"

"Where?"

"Oh my, it really is him, Lu Yao and Wang Xiaotian are also there, they must be filming a show."

Wu Mu’s face was too recognizable, almost anyone who had seen his show could recognize him instantly.

After recognizing him, some boldly approached to ask for a photo.

Huh, online they call him "Wu Dog," but in person, it’s "Teacher Wu."

When people actually meet a celebrity, most of them think about taking a photo to show off in their social circles.

With Wu Mu’s face, it certainly fueled people’s vanity to share in their social circles.

Wu Mu was the most sought after, followed by Lu Yao and Zhang Haoran.

Wang Xiaotian... he undoubtedly felt the world’s hostility towards unattractive people again.

People didn’t really want to share photos of him online.

But he couldn’t afford to care about feeling cold inside right now.

What mattered most was making money.

They had made it to the Eiffel Tower but were still short on cash.

Tickets to the third floor of the Eiffel Tower cost about 27 euros, which for the five of them would total over one hundred thirty euros.

Wang Xiaotian had thought there would be a way when they got there.

But upon arrival, he realized he couldn’t come up with one.

Wang Xiaotian looked around at the bustling tourists from various countries and ethnicities, feeling quite at a loss.

This would have been a good occasion for busking.

Busking was like a rite of passage for singer celebrities on reality TV shows.

Especially when they had someone like Wu Mu, with his level of talent, he could start singing and mesmerize the crowd, prompting them to open their wallets.

But, they didn’t have equipment like microphones or speakers, and whether the site management would allow them to busk was another issue.

After feeling at a loss for a while, he thought it best to seek advice from someone craftier.

He approached Wu Mu, who had just handled several photo requests, and said kindly, "You must be tired, Wu Mu. Want to take a break?"

Wu Mu saw through his ploy and chuckled, "Aren’t you supposed to be the most capable one, captain?"

Wang Xiaotian was modest, "I can’t compare to you, Wu Mu."

This useless captain thought that having control over the travel funds and itinerary meant he could command the other guests.

Turned out, the travel funds were nothing but an empty promise, and he couldn’t direct anyone!

Plus, he had all the captain’s responsibilities and worries.

"Wu Mu, you’re the most capable in our team, you tell me, how should we raise the money?" he buttered up Wu Mu.

How to raise money?

Wu Mu found it too simple, "With so many people here who recognize Lu Yao and the others, just have them ask everyone for money."

Wang Xiaotian was speechless, "The production team would never agree to us asking fans for money."

Although Lin Qingyue hadn’t specifically said it, it was clear she wouldn’t agree to such an idea, and asking fans directly for money would definitely invite criticism once the show aired.

Wu Mu looked at him oddly, "Just package it differently. Isn’t everyone coming up to them for photos? Just charge five euros per photo. Cartoon characters in this park charge twenty to thirty for a photo. Lu Yao and the others are so attractive, and we’re in Paris, charging five euros for a photo seems reasonable, right?"

Hey, that kind of made sense.

Wang Xiaotian’s eyes lit up.

That actually sounded quite reasonable, not to mention, just with Wu Mu’s handsome face, even those who didn’t know him probably wouldn’t mind spending five euros for a photo at the Eiffel Tower.
