Chapter 234 An Encounter with a Corn Country Variety Show

Chapter 134 An Accidental Encounter with a Corn Country Variety Show

"...Uncertain, but better safe than sorry." Lin Xingyun pondered for a moment with a heavy expression, and finally answered Jiang Chengcheng's question.

"Uncertain?" Jiang Chengcheng found this definition a bit strange. Fighting is fighting, not fighting is not fighting, so why is it uncertain?

"Yes, it's a family matter." Lin Xingyun didn't explain it too clearly, but only gave Jiang Chengcheng a few subtle hints.

"..." Upon hearing this answer, Jiang Chengcheng fell silent, pondering deeply.

Could it be... the one she's thinking of?!

That's unlikely. This didn't happen in my past life, nor was there any major event that required a war. Could it be that I was just an ordinary person back then and therefore didn't hear about it?

Shouldn't it?

War is something that can't be hidden, especially in this internet age!

Even though Jiang Chengcheng had a million questions in her mind, there were some things she didn't want to pry into. After reading the general contents of the file, Jiang Chengcheng asked.

"Okay, I'll go back to Beijing as soon as possible after the New Year. Uncle Lin, is there anything else? If not, I'll be going now."

"That's all. Keep these files safe. You can take them back and look at them when you have time." Seeing Jiang Chengcheng about to leave, Lin Xingyun quickly got up to see her off.

"No need to see me off, Uncle Lin." Jiang Chengcheng exchanged a few polite words with Lin Xingyun before leaving, and was finally seen off by the officer who had brought her there earlier.

...............

It was the dead of winter, and snow began to fall heavily from the sky. Snowflakes drifted down onto Jiang Chengcheng's head, melting at first but soon piling up. Pedestrians hurried along the road, but Jiang Chengcheng stood out conspicuously. She seemed oblivious to the swirling snow, her mind preoccupied with what Lin Xingyun had said earlier.

It's my own business...

The only thing in their country that can be considered their own business now, and that might require war, is Dongdu City.

Dongdu City has been Chinese territory since ancient times, but it has been unable to be recovered due to certain internal reasons. In order to contain China, the United States has been secretly supporting Dongdu City in an attempt to separate it from China.

According to her memories from her previous life, Jiang Chengcheng did not recall that China had taken any steps to reclaim the capital in the past two years. Could it be that the groundbreaking invention she developed during her rebirth caused a butterfly effect, and the country was preparing to take back Dongdu ahead of schedule?

Jiang Chengcheng was walking home alone, so engrossed in her thoughts that she didn't notice the people walking towards her.

"Ouch!"

Perhaps those people were too engrossed in their conversation to notice Jiang Chengcheng approaching. The two collided, and due to the slippery snow, they all fell to the ground.

"Are you alright? Sorry, we were discussing something and didn't notice you." The group grimaced and patted their butts, then surrounded Jiang Chengcheng on the ground, making a move to help her up.

Jiang Chengcheng looked up when she heard this. Judging from their words, the group seemed to be from South America. But why were there so many foreigners all of a sudden? After all, this wasn't Beijing, and she rarely saw these foreigners.

Jiang Chengcheng was suspicious, so she grabbed one of the people's hands and stood up, then spoke in response.

"It's okay, I wasn't looking where I was going either."

Jiang Chengcheng spoke in the language of the Corn Country. Because of the system's cheat, Jiang Chengcheng had basically maxed out all the languages ​​except for a few that Sirius knew.

"Oh! Beautiful lady, you speak the southern corn dialect so well? Are you Chinese?" One of the young men in the white down jacket was incredibly excited when he heard that Jiang Chengcheng could speak the corn dialect, as if he had seen a savior.

“Yes.” Jiang Chengcheng looked at the young man’s face, which was almost touching hers, and even though he was quite handsome, she couldn’t help but step back.

This person is quite strange; he gives off the feeling of a human-shaped husky.

"Hello, I'm Li Juncan, from South Korea. We're here in China to film a variety show. The premise is that five of us have to live here for a week on 1,000 Chinese dollars. However, we had a bad start, so we forgot that none of us speak Chinese. I wonder if you could help us?" A slightly composed young man behind the humanoid husky pulled him behind him and then looked at Jiang Chengcheng apologetically.

"Five hundred yuan for five people to live on for a week? Are you sure?" Jiang Chengcheng glanced at the work group behind them with a somewhat speechless expression.

I thought to myself, "What kind of variety show is this? It's such a rip-off..."

Although W City is not considered a first-tier city with high cost of living, the daily accommodation cost is still considerable, and the accommodation cost for these five people for seven days is a problem.

This variety show really dares to do anything for the sake of creating hype.

“Yes, I’m sure. Beautiful lady, if you don’t believe me, you can check. Our variety show is very famous in South Corn Country. It’s called ‘Let’s Set Off Today!’” Li Juncan was a little puzzled as to why Jiang Chengcheng had that expression. After all, although he thought the money was a bit tight, it should be enough.

"Oh, it's nothing. I just wanted to remind you that although prices in China are much lower than in the US, 1,000 yuan is basically not enough for five people to live on for a week, including food and lodging." Jiang Chengcheng smiled awkwardly, then kindly reminded them.

"Huh? Really? I heard from the production team that prices in China are much cheaper than in the corn country! I can't believe he lied to us!" A girl behind Li Juncan blushed with anger upon hearing this, and glared resentfully at the staff behind her.

“This…” Li Juncan frowned upon hearing this. He naturally did not think that Jiang Chengcheng, a Chinese girl, would lie to him about such a thing. Moreover, he had been wondering why the production team was so easy to talk to this time.

A moment of silence.

Lee Jun-chan spoke again.

"Miss, I'd like to ask if there are any short-term part-time jobs nearby that don't require speaking Chinese?" Li Juncan glanced at Jiang Chengcheng apologetically before asking.

“Uh…” Jiang Chengcheng fell silent upon hearing this.

Jobs that don't require speaking Mandarin?

Does moving bricks count as...?

"I'm sorry, I'm not quite sure either." After thinking for a while without success, Jiang Chengcheng answered truthfully.

After all, as the big boss of the group, she had never actually worked a job since her rebirth.

"Ah?? Heavens! Aren't prices in China supposed to be low? How come 1,000 yuan isn't enough to live on for seven days! This is a scam!" The girl sighed deeply upon hearing Jiang Chengcheng's words, inwardly cursing the entire production team.

"...To be precise, prices in W City aren't too high. It's just that you're in a foreign country, and you have to consider food, clothing, and accommodation. In any country, this amount of money wouldn't be enough. However, one good thing about China is that food is relatively cheap." Jiang Chengcheng heard the girl complaining about China and, thinking that the other person was filming a variety show, couldn't help but explain.
