REHC – Chapter 10

        As the director was wrapped up in his happy daydreams, Ruan Tian was already dragging her suitcase out of the bedroom.

        The director felt that she actually moved pretty quickly and his impression of her improved slightly. He said, “Please hand over your phone and your wallet for the show.”

        Ruan Tian obediently gave him her phone and her wallet.

        “Is the car downstairs?”

        “Right.”

        There was no elevator in an old apartment like this one and Ruan Tian lived on the fifth floor. The director quickly signaled the other crew members with his eyes to let them know not to help Ruan Tian carry her luggage. The director hoped that she could struggle a bit and put on a sad and miserable appearance trying to get her luggage down the stairs on her own. After all, that would be excellent material for the show.

        But reality seemed to be a bit different from what he imagined.

        Because, the next second, Ruan Tian hefted her suitcase in one hand without changing her expression at all. She even turned to look at one of the cameramen who was sweating uncomfortably, pointed at the camera bag in his hand, and asked, “Need help?”

        Director: ?

        Cameraman: ?

        Ruan Tian indifferently grabbed the camera bag with her free hand and said, “My apartment is on the fifth floor, you guys should be pretty tired from carrying all this stuff up here, right?” She genuinely felt a bit embarrassed and sympathetic, “Anyway, I’ll help you carry it downstairs, don’t worry about it.”

        Cameraman: o((﹏))o

        Then, without even breathing heavily, she carried it all down from the fifth floor.

        The director was stunned. That isn’t right, ah! That’s not how the script is supposed to go!

        Normally no one would usually watch this sort of early morning live broadcast, however, Ruan Tian had recently offended Xu Jing’s brain-dead girlfriend-fans, so they were all squatting in the chat of the live broadcast and throwing out all kinds of mocking words.

        【My God, Ruan Tian lives in a place like this?】

        【Shen Shu really was tricked into marrying her, wasn’t he? 23333】

        【Whoever marries this kind of poisonous woman is really unlucky. Her expressionless face just now was like the whole world owed her a million bucks. Really scared me to death. 】

        【I want to see how this pheasant is going to try to cling to the other stars this time. 】

        【The director of ‘Star Transformations’ has a well known trick where he likes to take the star’s phone and wallet and then tell them to make their own way to the filming location. Ruan Tian is just waiting for death, I can’t wait to see her crying and regretting look. 】

        Of course, Ruan Tian had no idea about the live chat. 

        After she picked up her suitcase in one hand and the camera bag in the other, the chat seemed to freeze for a moment before exploding like crazy.

        【WTF.】

        【Am I seeing things? Is that Ruan Tian? That’s Ruan Tian, right? Was she so strong? 】

        【She’s so strong. Is she a monster? I’m really scared. 】

        【Uuuuuu, mama save me! Ruan Tian is even stronger than King Kong, I’m so scared. 】

        【She had better stay far away from my Lord Jing, I’m afraid Lord Jing might be killed by her! ! ! 】

        【If Lord Jing got hurt because of her, I’ll kill her myself. 】

        【That woman is really scary.】

        After getting into the car, the director briefly scanned the live chat before turning it off with mixed feelings.

        Like that, the live broadcast was shut down immediately.

        However, he still felt that this was just a fluke. In fact, from the time the show had started airing all the way until now, there had never been a guest who had returned from ‘Star Transformations’ without first breaking down and crying.

        During the four-hour drive that followed, Ruan Tian slept the whole time.

        This time the program team had picked a remote town in the northwest part of the country to film in. The area was poor and miserable, and the weather was cold and dry.

        When they arrived in the city, the director woke Ruan Tian up.

        “Miss Ruan, we’ve arrived in the city but your final destination is Xiaobei Village. It’s about thirty miles away from here, and you’ll need to get there on your own. Good luck.”

        Ruan Tian said, “I have no money.”

        The director smiled and said: “Well, you’ll have to think of a way.”

        Ruan Tian looked into the director’s eyes uncomprehendingly for a moment. Now, she finally understood why this show ‘Star Transformations’ could bring decent guests on but always still got terrible ratings.

        At the same time, Ruan Tian’s stomach growled loudly. She hadn’t eaten breakfast or lunch, so she noticed now that she was very hungry.

        However, seeing the director’s beady eyes, she knew that he would definitely not give her any money.

        “Miss Ruan, are you hungry? Actually, it’s not impossible for us to lend you some money. We’ll just have to trouble Miss Ruan write us an IOU promising to pay us back ten times the amount.” This was a trick that the show always pulled on its guests and it had never failed. 

        Ruan Tian was silent for a long moment, and then said: “If you want to scam me out of my money, it would be better to just go and dream instead.”

        There was no way she would pay the crew money. Wasn’t that backward?

        The director was shocked by her stern retort.
