Chapter 104: Voting for the Filming Location

However, Fang Zhou did not remain silent out of concern that no one would choose the teaching location. He followed the others and spoke up.

“I want to go teach because I grew up in the countryside and have a special affection for rural areas.”

In front of the camera, Fang Zhou smiled shyly.

But his expression was composed and confident, showing no sense of inferiority due to his rural background. On the contrary, he displayed a hint of pride.

This sincere speech instantly won over a large number of viewers.

“I think I understand why Fang Zhou is so popular now; he’s genuine and not pretentious!”

“Exactly, for them, going to the grasslands or a gemstone origin would bring far more economic benefits than teaching.”

“Who knows, if he goes to the gemstone origin, Fang Zhou might even land a jewelry endorsement! He chose not to go, so I don’t know whether to call him silly or naive!”

The others also had different expressions after Fang Zhou spoke.

Qiao Sisi’s eyes shifted as she glared at Fang Zhou, mentally scolding him: Why go to the mountains and suffer when you could go to the beautiful grasslands? When the time comes, even bathing will be inconvenient, who knows how you’ll cry then.

Qin Yun, however, didn’t express any opinions but was somewhat interested in Fang Zhou’s rural upbringing.

He grew up in the countryside? No wonder he’s proficient in so many skills. Whether it’s cooking or changing a light bulb, he does it effortlessly, unlike some mama’s boys who can’t do anything.

Han Xi’s gaze lingered on the first image for a long time, as her company’s next development plan included entering the jewelry industry.

If she could seize this opportunity to investigate in person, she could make better decisions in the future.

Everyone had their own thoughts, but Sun Haotian, who was always straightforward, strongly recommended going to the grasslands.

“I have a ranch in Inner Mongolia; I can take everyone there to have fun! I guarantee it will be great!”

Sun Haotian glanced at Fang Zhou with a hint of disdain, thinking: We’re both from the countryside, but why is his vision so narrow, focusing only on that small piece of land?

There’s such a vast world out there; doesn’t he want to explore it? Instead, he wants to suffer in some godforsaken mountains!

These female guests definitely want to have fun or see the jewelry production process; who would want to go to the mountains?

People try to escape the ten-thousand-mile mountains, and this guy wants to go back. Is he foolish or what?

Fang Zhou felt Sun Haotian’s gaze and smiled back, unconcerned by his disdain and contempt.

Everyone has their own thoughts, and he couldn’t interfere; he just needed to do his best.

As everyone continued to discuss where to go, three minutes quickly passed.

The director lightly coughed, made a pause gesture, and signaled everyone to be quiet.

“Alright, I believe everyone has a preferred location by now. Let’s proceed to the voting.”

“By the way, we mentioned last time that the guest who received the most affection messages would have a surprise. This surprise is the right to cast two votes in this poll.”

This meant Fang Zhou had two votes.

As soon as the words fell, the live chat exploded with bets.

“I bet my snacks for the next three days on the gemstone origin!”

“I think it will be the grasslands, a beautiful but less popular place. Romance shows rarely go there, so it might have unexpected results.”

“Speaking of niche, teaching is something never seen in romance shows, usually in charity shows. If they really go teach, it would be groundbreaking. Honestly, I’m kind of excited.”

“Even if some female guests like Fang Zhou, they won’t necessarily suffer with him! I bet on the grasslands!”

The director first pointed to the first image and said, “Those who want to go to the gemstone origin, please raise your hand.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Tang Wan, Liu Hao, and Han Xi raised their hands.

“Alright, that’s three votes.”

The director nodded, signaling them to lower their hands, then pointed to the second image.

“Those who want to go to the grasslands, please raise your hand.”

This time, Qiao Sisi, Sun Haotian, Dong Donghui, and Qi Le raised their hands.

The director continued tallying the votes and said, “Those who want to go teach, please raise your hand.”

This time, Fang Zhou raised his hand without hesitation.

Following him, Chu Xinran, Qin Yun, Zhang Zhi Yin, Han Xi, and Qiao Sisi also raised their hands.

The director was a bit taken aback.

“Why did you vote twice?”

Qiao Sisi cleared her throat and said matter-of-factly, “Teaching is also meaningful; I want to go too. Is that not allowed?”

Han Xi nodded and softly said, “Going to the places that need us the most is also good.”

Their righteous stance left the director speechless.

He smiled and explained, “Your thoughts are commendable, but let’s be serious about this vote. Each person only has one vote.”

Fang Zhou also smiled, glancing at them both.

He was surprised they voted for teaching too.

Han Xi, as the company’s leader, usually made decisions based on the company’s interests, so her voting for the gemstone origin wasn’t surprising.

Qiao Sisi, a pampered celebrity, would naturally prefer a fun trip.

Feeling Fang Zhou’s gaze, Qiao Sisi turned her head uncomfortably, not wanting him to see her proud expression.

It’s not like she voted for Fang Zhou’s sake.

Han Xi, however, was calm and even gave Fang Zhou a cold look.

What are you looking at? If you can vote, so can I.

“Excluding your additional votes, teaching has five votes.”

“So, everyone will soon prepare to head to the chosen destination.”

“The whole journey will be live-streamed, so stay tuned!”

As the director finished speaking, the camera cut away, and commercials started playing.

The guests had varied expressions, surprised by the final decision to go teaching.

“Well, teaching it is, it’s quite new.”

“Let’s go, let’s get moving!”

Sun Haotian cheerfully said, acting as if he wasn’t embarrassed.

Fang Zhou gave him a knowing look, used to such changes in attitude.

Old foxes, basic operations.
