Chapter 150: Chapter 150: It’s Reasonable to Take Advantage of the Show’s Resources

During this period, quite a few people had approached Wu Mu for his songs, both acquaintances and strangers.

For example, Zheng Qiang from the singer-songwriter group and other singers in the circle had all asked him if he would sell his songs.

After all, no one was blind; Wu Mu wrote such high-quality songs—how could they not be envious?

But Wu Mu felt that selling songs wouldn’t make much money, and besides, he didn’t have any suitable songs to sell. Designing songs specifically to sell them just didn’t seem worth it, so he had never agreed.

However, this time he could agree to Yu Ke’s request.

Turning it into a piano piece was something he already had in mind.

"Sure, I’ll write it and give it to you in a few days." Wu Mu took on the task but didn’t write it on the spot; he had other things to busy himself with right now.

...

The day after the recording of the show, Wang Xiaotian stepped down as the team leader, and Lu Yao took over.

"Ha ha ha, now I’m the captain!" she said, hands on her hips and laughing triumphantly.

As soon as she took charge, her first order of business was...

"Ahem, Xiao Wu, go get the captain a glass of water."

Lu Yao tried hard to appear commanding, but alas, her twitching lips betrayed her.

Ha ha, she could finally have Mr. Wu Mu serve her tea and pour her water!

Unfortunately, the Wu Mu she ordered around was leaning lazily on the sofa, watching her indifferently, unaffected.

After a few seconds, when he hadn’t moved at all, Lu Yao got angry, "How dare you not listen to your captain!?"

Wu Mu chuckled, "Why should I listen to you? You have neither funds nor power, just a nominal captain who might even need me to make money later. You should be the one getting me water, right?"

Eh, right, this captain really is just a nominal captain.

After a moment of shock, Lu Yao became anxious.

"You did it for Xiaotian!"

"That was because I was deceived then."

"Let me deceive you again!"

You think I’m as dumb as you?

Wu Mu watched Lu Yao, who was visibly upset.

Having looked forward to this for two days, now seeing it couldn’t happen, Lu Yao was furious, "If you don’t get me water, I won’t cook for you later!"

Wu Mu wasn’t worried, "Then you’ll be breaking the show’s rules which say the captain must take care of the team members."

Lu Yao suddenly had a spark of malicious inspiration, "Then I’ll put a lot of salt in the noodles and make it unbearably salty for you all!"

Wang Xiaotian was like, "???"

Wang Xiaotian, who had been watching from the sidelines, was suddenly full of question marks.

Like, what the heck?

You’re targeting Wu Mu but why involve the rest of us?

Wu Mu was speechless; you’re going to eat the food too, do you really need to go to such lengths?

But, to be honest, this threat was somewhat effective.

Wu Mu really didn’t want to start his morning hungry.

He sighed and reluctantly got up to fetch water for Lu Yao.

Finally, Lu Yao achieved her goal of having Mr. Wu Mu serve her tea and pour water, and she laughed heartily, "Good, very good, Xiao Wu, you are very understanding. I’ll give you two extra eggs later."

However...

"Ptui, ptui, ptui!"

"What the heck, Wu Mu already got you water! And you still put a ton of salt in!?"

Wang Xiaotian spat out the noodles in his mouth, glaring at Lu Yao.

The unfortunate Wu Mu just glared at Lu Yao too, talk about repaying kindness with ingratitude.

Lu Yao’s face turned a bit red, "Well, I did say I can’t cook."

Then why did you use cooking as a threat?

Damn, she really duped me.

...

Wu Mu ended up hungry anyway.

Later when they checked in, they’d not only have to earn tickets but also food.

But as for how they’d make money later, Lu Yao, feeling guilty, came over to Wu Mu, "Xiao Wu, do you have any good suggestions?"

So, you really have the nerve to ask him for advice?

And, Wu Mu chuckled, looking at her, "Xiao Wu?"

"Coming for ideas is one thing, but to call him Xiao Wu?"

Lu Yao seemed even more embarrassed, but apparently wasn’t planning to correct herself, acting as if she hadn’t heard.

Her eyes, large and seemingly innocent, blinked.

Wu Mu clicked his tongue and, after thinking it over, finally said, "You can go sell stuff at the tourist spots later."

Sell things?

Lu Yao clearly didn’t understand, and neither did Wang Xiaotian and the others who were listening nearby.

What do they have to sell here?

Buy goods to sell at tourist spots?

But they didn’t even have the capital to buy stock.

Buy goods?

Buy what goods!

Wu Mu chuckled and pointed at the table in front of them, "You can sell these."

Everyone followed the direction of his finger and saw a stack of neatly arranged mineral water bottles on the table.

Sell mineral water?

Everyone was initially slow to react.

But soon, they realized these were products provided by the show’s brand sponsor!

That might actually work!

Selling other things, like items they brought themselves, would definitely be against the rules, and the show organizers wouldn’t agree.

But if it was selling the brand sponsor’s products, although it was still against the rules, but...

Lu Yao’s eyes lit up and she turned to Lin Qingyue, "Sister Qingyue?"

Lin Qingyue found it quite amusing.

This action was definitely against the rules too, but she actually found it hard to refuse.

Because it was undoubtedly helping their brand sponsor advertise, and if the sponsors knew, they would be happy. They might even increase their sponsorship.

Even if they didn’t increase the sponsorship, this kind of action would definitely have a positive impact on attracting sponsors.

Wu Mu continued to justify their actions seriously:

"On the surface, it looks like we are selling mineral water and bending the rules, but if you think about it carefully, our action is actually promoting the sponsor. The money we collect is for the promotion efforts, which isn’t against the rules at all—it’s quite reasonable."

"Very reasonable!" Lu Yao shouted with conviction.

What else could Lin Qingyue say? "Fine, you guys are reasonable, but you can only do this once."

She chuckled as she looked at Wu Mu, who was always full of ideas and odd strategies.

"Yay!" Lu Yao shouted happily.

...

Today’s check-in locations were the Arc de Triomphe and the Avenue des Champs Elysees.

By selling mineral water, Lu Yao and her group clearly didn’t have to worry about today’s admission fees.

The sponsor’s products were stacked up in several large boxes where they were staying, sourced from nearby channels in Paris.

Not only were they not short on goods, but they were also not difficult to sell. The sponsor’s mineral water was a mid-range product, not too cheap to be undersold and not too expensive to deter buyers.

Well, even if it’s expensive, a little face brushing to reach the ticket money was no problem.

If that still wasn’t enough, there were always the options of autographed and photo-op water bottles.

Footage of them promoting the sponsor’s products was quite interesting and effective.

Today’s filming was pretty successful.

After checking into the two attractions, everyone thought today had ended perfectly.

But who would have thought...

"It’s not over yet!"

Lu Yao jumped out.

"We haven’t made any money today!"

Not made any money?

What did that mean?

Zhang Haoran and Yu Ke were taken aback, not quite understanding.

But those who knew her well, and somewhat knew her like Wang Xiaotian and Wu Mu, were already speechless.

You’ve really got some nerve.

With a hum, Lu Yao said, "Yesterday, Xiaotian deposited ten thousand with the show organizer! I want to deposit too!"
