Chapter 365 Graduation Exam?
After taking a shower and changing their clothes, Yue Lai, Yue Jiang Zhi and others sat on the sofa in the living room, looking very calm on the surface.
The good news is that early in the morning, the manor's housekeeper Carlo went to the utility room and started the backup generator. The entire manor finally returned to light, and they could take a hot bath and charge their mobile phones.
The bad news is, our director crew hasn't looked happy since they came back from the wine cellar.
The constant small movements of the hands of the three younger members betrayed their apparent calmness, especially when they saw Dalin and Zhao Hao walk in with gloomy faces.
After all, he was an honest child. He would definitely feel guilty if his parents found him sneaking out of the dormitory in the middle of the night to drink alcohol. But it was different for the other three older groups plus a rubber fish.
The three honest children who were good at observing people's words and expressions glanced at the expressions of the four "bigwigs" and suddenly felt a little tough, like a fox borrowing the power of a tiger to bully others.
"Before the filming starts, tell me, what happened last night? What did you do with so much stolen wine? Are you trying to empty other people's wine cellar with so many empty bottles?" Dalin sighed tiredly.
Haishanghua and the other two were quite calm and didn't seem panicked at all. However, Yuelai, Yuejiangzhi and the other two couldn't help but secretly glance at Yu Yu.
"Don't overthink it. We didn't steal anyone's wine." Yu Yu explained that stealing someone else's property wasn't considered stealing; it was clearly taking. "How do you think we could have known which of the many secret paths leading to the wine cellar if no one had told us?"
"Actually, Butler Carlo told us. After the power outage yesterday, we asked him if there was anywhere else we could go. He said there's a wine cellar here with lots of red wine for us to enjoy. He took you straight to the cellar this morning because he knew we were there."
After Yu Yu finished speaking frankly, the others immediately nodded in agreement, saying that they were only invited by the host and were curious about the manor's wine cellar and looking forward to experiencing the secret passage, so they went to take a look.
It was already late at night when they went there. Everyone in the production crew had gone to bed, and they were too embarrassed to ask the producer and director to take the risk with them, so they just sneaked over to take a look. Unexpectedly, the wines were quite strong.
Of course, although they are all wines, if you mix wines of different years and alcohol content together, you will get drunk.
At that time, only Su Xing, Yu Yu and Wang Zhengliang were sober. Even Zhang Yuan, who had a better alcohol tolerance, felt a little dizzy because he was too excited and drank too much. The three of them could not drag the other four through the long secret passage back to the room, so they spent the night in the wine cellar.
"If you don't believe me, you can ask Butler Carlo to verify it." Yu Yu said, looking up at Carlo who brought them a few glasses of lemonade.
Carlo: ...Did I say that?
Yu Yu: Didn’t you say that?
"Yes, the wine cellars in each of Alaric's manors have always been praised by various noble guests. We will open the door of the wine cellar to every distinguished guest who comes to visit the manor and offer them fine wines."
"And the generosity of these gentlemen is worthy of praise and gratitude. They insisted on paying for the collections they enjoyed in the wine cellar, so please don't worry or misunderstand the two gentlemen from the program team. They are perfect gentlemen of noble character."
After Carlo finished speaking, he respectfully bowed to his brothers and the director team.
Yu Yu: Did I say I would pay you?
Carlo: Didn’t you say that?
Yu Yu: You can do it, you are very good, weixiao.jpg.
"Yes, that's right. We will take care of the expenses incurred during our private gatherings outside of filming. It was just a misunderstanding. Don't worry about it, and don't look so gloomy. You've already gained several more wrinkles at such a young age."
Yu Yu smiled and exchanged glances with his brothers, signaling them not to worry - of course he wouldn't really give any money. Why would he pay for a drink he just took from home, right?
"Of course, that's it. Look how scared you were just now. Do we look like such willful and ignorant people?" Su Xing complained deliberately. Others also thought that Carlo said charging fees because of Yu Yu's instruction. After all, if they insisted on paying for it themselves, it would be more reasonable to the director team, so they began to cooperate with Yu Yu.
Only Yu Yu secretly gave Carlo a blank look: The wine cellar maintenance fee will be transferred to you later, you can find some other good wine to make up for it.
After realizing it was just a "misunderstanding", Zhao Hao finally warned them to report in advance next time, and then started today's filming.
After a night of blizzards, the snow has turned into light snow this morning and is expected to stop by noon.
But they couldn't set off immediately after the snow stopped, because the snow outside was very thick and it would take some time to shovel the snow, so they were not sure whether they could set off or stay overnight.
Since their filming had been delayed for a day due to the weather, the director team discussed and decided to move the filming of the content that was originally scheduled to be filmed after arriving in the Bullfighting Country to today.
Yu Yu still remembered that there was still a lot of work waiting for his brothers after they returned home. If the snow could stop at noon today, perhaps they would not have to wait for the snowplow to clear the way for them and then drive for several hours to Barcelona.
While Zhao Hao was explaining the content of today's filming, he was distracted and looked up at Carlo.
Carlo nodded and retreated calmly.
"What's wrong?" Chen Fusheng, who was standing next to him, noticed the little movements between Yu Yu and the housekeeper and asked in a low voice.
"It's okay, I'm just trying to find a way to make rational use of resources to catch up with time." Yu Yu patted Chen Fusheng on the back and told him not to worry.
At this time, Yu Yu heard Wang Zhengliang on the other end say with a joking tone: "Isn't the purpose of our trip abroad this time to travel as a special forces soldier?"
Because Zhao Hao just said that they were not here to play, and asked them not to forget the mission of this filming.
"What? Do we have any other tasks for this shoot?" Wang Yuexin also had selective amnesia.
"The purpose of this filming? Of course it's to make money, right? It's because we are the 'Entertainment Ambassadors Group'." Su Xing accidentally told the truth.
"Oh yes, we have this glorious and arduous mission." Lu Hu suddenly realized, "We are envoys to the Western Regions."
"So who is Tang Sanzang?" Zhang Yuan wondered.
"Su Xing, he's good at talking." Lu Hu replied.
Zhang Yuan suddenly thought of something and smiled: "That's impossible. No monster would want to eat this old bacon of his."
Su Xing was a little dissatisfied when he heard Lu Hu say that he was Tang Sanzang, but when he heard Zhang Yuan say that no monster was willing to eat him, he became even more dissatisfied: "Hey, hey, hey, at least I have a good-looking skin, and my skin is not bad, fat and thin, how come there is no more?"
"Hahahaha." Wang Yuexin laughed particularly cheerfully, "Is it such an honor to be carefully chosen by the monsters?"
Seeing that they were going off topic, Zhao Hao had to bring the subject back: "Since we are the 'Entertainment Envoy Group' and not just a simple envoy group, then we must live up to the word 'entertainment'."
"You started from Rome and visited many ancient historical and cultural cities along the way. I'm sure you've gained some understanding of their cultural background..."
"I don't understand." The seven people said in unison. They were busy having fun and no one cared about these things.
Zhao Hao pretended not to hear.
"We will assess your knowledge of these famous cultural cities along the way, as well as your understanding of our upcoming destination, Bullfighting Country, in the areas of 'Culture' and 'Entertainment'. If you pass the assessment, you will be eligible for accommodation at the Esplendor Palace."
What kind of good person has to take a final exam before traveling? Besides, the accommodations in Alaric's house are certainly something that ordinary people who have never seen a ducal palace, let alone lived in, would yearn for, but you reward the heir with a night in the guest room of your own house?
Is the guest room as big as his 300-square-meter bedroom?
Thinking of this, the brothers covered their mouths and laughed continuously. Yu Yu also laughed, but with a forced smile.
Of course, the production team only regarded their reaction as a secret joy of expectation.
"You mean, we have to answer questions to get the right to stay in the luxurious manor, so this room should be both good and bad, right?" Su Xing pondered for a moment and asked with another meaning.
Zhao Hao nodded. "I haven't been to the Esplendor Palace, so we can't go inside to check it out. But from what I know, the rooms at the Esplendor Palace are mostly king-size rooms, which means they can definitely accommodate all seven of you. However, the rooms vary in size and have different views, so they are divided into standard rooms and luxury suites."
"You will accumulate points through individual knowledge quizzes and multiplayer collaboration. The person with the highest points will be able to stay in the suite."
Upon hearing this, Su Xing immediately revealed a cunning and arrogant smile. "Hehehe, now it's time to compete in brainpower. Even if you are Chen Fusheng, don't try to stop me. I want the master bedroom in Esplendore Palace!"
Chen Fusheng, who was vaguely reminded of the championship and runner-up joke, turned his head and looked at him with a smile: "It's okay. We won't fight with you for the master bedroom. When the time comes, go and tell the Duke to give the room to you."
"If you are too embarrassed to speak and need a translator, I will help you!" If the topic was about kicking Grand Duke Alaric out of his own house and making him sleep in the guest room, Yu Yu would not be sleepy anymore. He immediately raised his hand and volunteered. He always liked to see people betraying their father.
Amid the laughter of others, Su Xing quickly waved his hands, then clasped his hands together in front of the camera to apologize for his rude words. He definitely had no intention of kicking the Duke out of his own mansion.
"Allen, if you really do this, will our delegation go on a diplomatic mission to the Western Regions or on an expedition to the Western Regions?" Wang Zhengliang patted Su Xing's shoulder with a gloating look, indicating that his idea was not ordinary.
They also had no doubt that if the program crew was not here, if Yu Yu had brought his brothers to visit their home privately, based on his relationship with their family, he would definitely be able to let his father sleep in the guest room. But they didn't know how his old father would react when he said this. It seemed that his father's attitude towards his choice of music as a career was much softer than his grandfather's. He should be a person who understands the big picture and is easy to get along with.
It’s a pity that the program team is still there, and Yu Yu’s eagerness can only be strangled in the cradle by his brothers.
After introducing the assessment process, Zhao Hao asked the staff to bring up their first question.
Looking at the familiar answer board, the brothers were speechless and laughed. Zhang Yuan even complained with disdain: "No way, we're almost releasing the second extra chapter, and you're still got this answer board?"
"Director, you are so frugal that it really makes me wonder where your money, invested by our sponsors in the program, is spent." Lu Hu said earnestly in a tone of admonition.
"So what is this for? Are we going to guess the song again? We've seen the lyrics for your first question, 'Red, yellow, blue, green, cyan, purple fog'. Isn't this the song by Sheng Ge, 'My World'?" Wang Yue wanted to know what Zhao Hao was planning to do with this.
"No, the first question is a quick-answer question. The questions are all on the back."
Zhao Hao explained that there were some unused blank spaces on the back of the lyrics guessing board, so they printed it on both sides and used it.
"Hey, you really are, hey, really are, tsk, hey, I really am." Zhang Yuan's hesitation to speak fully expressed the brothers' feelings at the moment.
"So what?" Zhao Hao calmly turned to the first page. "Here, the first question—"
