The restaurant was bustling with people, and the lady boss was rushing back and forth, busy with work.
Gu Yiyi glanced around the restaurant and stopped the lady boss to politely ask, "Sister, do you need a pianist here? I can play the piano for you."
"What did you say?" The lady boss didn't recognize her and frowned for being interrupted from her work.
"I saw you have an electronic piano here," Gu Yiyi smiled awkwardly but politely. "I can play at your restaurant to attract customers. How about I play for an hour and you pay me a hundred yuan?"
The lady boss was stunned for a moment and then laughed angrily, "Are you dreaming, girl? You want a hundred an hour for playing the piano? Why don't you go and rob someone instead?"
Gu Yiyi was cut short, her expression a bit awkward, "Then fifty, is fifty okay? I'm the popular actress Gu Yiyi, and we're filming a reality show..."
"Go, go, go, fifty or a hundred, how many customers can you attract playing piano? I'm busy, don't interrupt my business!"
The lady boss didn't have time to say more and ran off when someone called for her.
Gu Yiyi was so embarrassed that she couldn't keep a straight face, having never experienced such a rebuff.
The live stream chat was filled with sympathy.
[Oh, poor Yibao, the lady boss didn't recognize her at all. This show is too real!]
[This lady boss has no idea what she's missing, so short-sighted! Yiyi has even played piano at the National Theater!]
[What's there to pity? It's just a small business, and tourists around here are average people; who would come in just to listen to piano music? I'd react the same if I were the lady boss, not wanting to pay a hundred right off the bat.]
[A small business wouldn't resort to such marketing. But doesn't the sign outside say they're looking for dishwashers at 20 an hour? Why don't they do that? Even Mr. Qin and Mrs. Qin already earned 40.]
[Gu Zhi get out, don't you have a home?]
Fans from Gu Zhi's livestream: "..."
They indeed "had no home."
Qi Yunlin took Gu Yiyi to a café to enjoy the air conditioning, wiped the sweat from her face, and said with a face full of pity, "Forget it, don't worry. We'll find a solution. Let's take a break and have a coffee first."
Gu Yiyi wasn't in the mood, "I think we should earn money first. We won't make any if we keep on like this and won't complete our evening task."
"No matter how tough it gets, you can still afford a cup of coffee." Qi Yunlin said indulgently, pulling out twenty yuan from his pocket to buy Gu Yiyi a cup of coffee.
Gu Yiyi smiled gently, a slight blush on her face.
[Ahhh! Can I really watch this sweetness for free? It's sugar overload!]
[Wuwu Director Qi really loves her! No matter how tough or poor, Yiyi's coffee is a must!]
[...If this were real life, I'd scold them for being wasteful. Isn't it better to save money to complete tasks?]
[Qi Yunlin unwilling to work is one thing, but don't stop my girl from earning money! He's not even as good as the neighboring Han Liheng!]
[? Rant if you must, but why involve my son? My son still diligently completes tasks!]
Inside Han Liheng's livestream.
He had already found work and happened upon a band on the street, impromptu performing a set, and the band enthusiastically welcomed him to join them.
He was originally an idol trained in singing and dancing, having spent years as a trainee, so his singing and dancing skills were decent.
Around him, young tourists who heard about Han Liheng performing on the street crowded to watch.
At this moment, he was dancing to his group's songs, his powerful moves eliciting waves of screams.
The fans in the livestream were so excited they couldn't stop filling the chat with comments.
[Ahhhh! My baby is so handsome!!!]
[On stage, Han Liheng is indeed the most handsome! He doesn't even need a stage, sweetie you're the best! Mom loves you!]
[Holy cow! I'll never badmouth this reality show again. How lucky am I to finally see my husband's long-missed performance! Huge praise for the show!]
"Ahhhh! Han Liheng, you're too handsome!!"
With the surrounding screams and applause, Han Liheng finished an impromptu dance.
He did a cool backflip, landing perfectly, then cheekily made a heart sign towards the fans and looked at the band members.
"How was it? Not bad, right? This dance is on me. Now, I'll dance to attract customers for you, and we'll split the earnings. How about that?"
The band leader looked at the growing crowd and nodded without hesitation, "Sure."
"OK! Come on!" Han Liheng picked up a microphone, gestured at the audience confidently, and said, "Next song: 'A lone ranger'! Music!"
'A lone ranger' was Han Liheng's first solo single and held a special meaning for fans. As soon as the music started, the audience nearby and in the livestream went wild.
"Ahhh! A lone ranger! Han Liheng, you're the best!"
"Hamburger, dance quickly! Mama's voting for you!!!"
Standing at the center, with deafening music behind him and excited screams in front, Han Liheng's unique clear voice rang out. Along with his smooth dance moves and expressive gestures, every expression and gaze pierced through the fans' hearts.
[Ahhh, Hamburger, stop seducing me with your eyes!]
[My life bar is empty, who understands! Hamburger immersed in dance will forever be the most handsome!]
[I'm declaring Hamburger the winner of this segment! None of the other guests can compare!]
"Being a lone ranger is my style; no need for critique
Oh, being a lone ranger is my trait; it's the feel I like!"
"Hey, join me, friends!" he sang while running around the crowd.
Just in time for a climax, Han Liheng waved his long arms and swept his long legs.
With a loud "bang," the band's computer and player were kicked away by him.
The music abruptly stopped.
The surrounding crowd: "..."
In the livestream: [...]
[Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha!]
[Holy crap, haha, I'm dying of laughter. This fool never disappoints, handsome for less than three seconds!]
[What's going on? He danced for the band and kicked their equipment away?]
[Such a silly thing only he could do, hahahahahaha!]
The scene was quiet for a few seconds before bursting into laughter.
Realizing what happened, Han Liheng turned around to see the band's computer lying lifeless on the ground.
While the band members, including the leader, were glaring at him menacingly.
Han Liheng: "..."
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!!!"
He repeatedly bowed, apologizing several times.
The band leader was unmoved, "Can your apologies bring my equipment back to life?"
"..." Han Liheng awkwardly stood his ground, and after a long stalemate, grudgingly squeezed out the words, "I'll compensate!"
