Gu Zhi couldn't be bothered to respond to him.
Mr. Gu, who rarely ever looked at her directly, frowned and asked, "Did you really earn over 300?"
"Yeah." Gu Zhi glanced at him, smiling faintly, "But what's it to you?"
"You..."
Gu Yiyi also looked incredulous, with a flash of anger in her eyes.
She originally thought she was the most popular among these people and wasn't worried about earning money.
But unexpectedly, she went to the store to perform and attract customers, only to be rejected by the owner!
She was even more surprised that Gu Zhi made the most money, just by playing games in an internet cafe. How could she earn so much!?
Originally, when Gu Zhi's livestream was closed, she thought Gu Zhi had gone mad, not even bothering with screen time or popularity.
But throughout the entire day, Gu Zhi's gaming leaks and skill showcases dominated online discussions, far surpassing the livestream's popularity!
The second most discussed topic was Han Liheng kicking over equipment and having to dance to make amends.
She didn't manage to snag a single popular topic!
Gu Yiyi's face at this moment was extremely unsightly, yet she had to maintain a forced smile at the corners of her mouth.
"Zhi Zhi, you're amazing, you earned the most among us; I had no idea your gaming skills were so good, why haven't I heard about it before?"
"Normally," Gu Zhi spoke coldly, "I'm not acquainted with you."
Gu Yiyi's thin lips pursed, pretending nothing had happened, her eyes considerately glancing at Father Qin and Mrs. Qin.
"But it's hard on Uncle Qin and Aunt Qin; they should have been having fun like my parents, but ended up working all day without any play. You should take them out to have fun later."
Mrs. Qin hurriedly said upon hearing this, "No, no, we're not tired; Zhi Zhi did a lot for us too."
Gu Yiyi didn't expect them to defend Gu Zhi so much, stubbornly saying, "That's how it should be; after all, you raised her... Gu Zhi should repay you."
Father Qin and Mrs. Qin frowned, unsure of what to say.
Gu Zhi laughed coldly, "Miss Gu should focus on her parents instead, don't concern yourself with irrelevant matters."
Gu Yiyi's face froze, frowning and glaring at her.
[What kind of attitude is that from Gu Zhi??]
[Wuwuwu my Yibao is so warm-hearted, only she noticed the hard work of Mr. Qin and Mrs. Qin. Yet, among so many parents, only Gu Zhi's parents were working.]
[??? Do Gu Yiyi's fans call that warm-hearted? Man, I can smell the tea from Gu Yiyi even through the screen.]
[Haters care more about Gu Zhi than her own fans. Mr. Qin and Mrs. Qin worked because they care for Gu Zhi, haven't the Gu Zhi haters any parents?]
[Heh, the Qin Family must work hard, right? Otherwise, how would they have the chance to enjoy seafood and ride the yacht? Better take the opportunity the program offers.]
[Don't be petty, isn't it better to work hard rather than end up like those who seem capable of making money but are useless without their status?]
The comments section was a mess.
Gu Zhi, meanwhile, directly looked at Sun Chaohua and Jiang Xiangwan, asking, "How are your progresses?"
"I made two hundred, but it's still not enough, this task is impossible to complete, except for you." Sun Chaohua said enviously, "When I was busy trying to earn money, I sent you messages, but I didn't expect you'd earn even more!"
Jiang Xiangwan walked over and hugged her, whining, "I only earned sixty, not even enough to spend; Sister Zhizhi, you're amazing!"
Gu Zhi: "..."
"So, none of you completed the task?"
"..."
None of them wanted to speak anymore.
Some of Gu Zhi's haters were displeased hearing this.
[So what, she thinks she's great just because she made money? What kind of tone is that!]
[Gu Zhi is the only one who completed the task and even exceeded it; that's indeed impressive. Could you make 360 in three hours?]
The haters: ...
Immediately retreated under the cover of caps.
Finally, Jiang Xiangwan answered her, "Yeah, Brother Chaohua made two hundred and is still short 60. I... I'm short 260. Yiyi and Director Qi only have 320, and as for Han Liheng, he's in debt by over a thousand to the show."
Gu Zhi: ".........."
Han Liheng immediately flared up, "Jiang Dawan! You're the one who's in debt to the show by over a thousand!!"
"That's how it is; you were the one who kicked over the band's computer, not me."
"You!!" Han Liheng glared at her, too angry to speak.
[Hahaha, it's like watching a big childish fight.]
[Gu Zhi: Never felt this at a loss in this lifetime.]
[You're killing me with laughter; doesn't it feel like a dunce facing off against a top student and totally getting crushed?]
In the end, it was the directing team who came out to maintain order, saying, "So currently, the family with the most budget is the Qin Family, with a total of 680 yuan; the Sun Family has 240 yuan; the Qi Family 160 yuan, the Gu Family 120 yuan; the Jiang Family 40 yuan; and the Han Family is in debt to the show by 1,300 yuan."
Han Liheng: "I said I'm not owing you money! I refuse to acknowledge it!"
The directing team simply ignored him and turned to Gu Zhi, "So the Qin Family can now head to the check-in point to complete the task there. Afterwards, a designated driver will take you to the seaside to enjoy a seafood banquet and then return you to the villa. As for other families, travel expenses for the return trip have to be covered by yourselves, and you'll have to sort out your own dinner too."
The families heard this and were all visibly envious.
They didn't have enough funds all day and hadn't eaten properly; a seafood banquet sounded truly tempting!
Han Liheng was quick-witted and hastily turned to Gu Zhi and the directing team, "If Gu Zhi and her family have more than enough, can they help another family complete the task with their extra money? Otherwise, the remaining amount would be wasted, right?"
He swallowed a mouthful of water after speaking, his face showing clear eagerness.
The directing team hesitated for a moment, glanced at Gu Zhi, and nodded, "Of course, but it is up to Teacher Gu's discretion."
Once he said this, all the families brightened up and looked eagerly at Gu Zhi.
Mr. Gu, hearing this, directly said, "Gu Zhi, I still have 120; with just 180 from you, we'd complete the task."
Gu Zhi didn't even look at him.
The directing team then said, "Teacher Gu can play a small game with them; each family tells a joke or performs a comedy bit. If it makes Teacher Gu and Uncle Qin and Aunt Qin laugh, you'll help them complete the check-in task."
The families hearing this started thinking of strategies, while Han Liheng directly walked to Gu Zhi, reluctantly saying, "Will I solo dance in front of you on the spot?"
Gu Zhi: "..."
[Hahahahahaha my god, this fool is here again; is he trying to recreate the classic scene of dance kicking equipment over?]
[The directing team tightly protects their equipment while shouting: Don't come any closer!!]
[Although, even if Han Liheng could make the Qin Family laugh, with his level of debt, Gu Zhi wouldn't be able to help him complete the task, haha, what's this kid thinking.]
[Hahaha I want to watch; let them perform. Who will Gu Zhi help to complete the task?]
Gu Zhi really didn't want to watch him dance; instead, she directly turned to the director, "I don't need to watch any comedy; I can directly choose whom I want to help, right?"
Director: "You can."
