QWAPMP Chapter 54

Chapter Fifty-Four CEO Male Supporting Character

Upon hearing the three words “diving certificate”, the Director immediately had staff hand the diving equipment to Xiao Wen, then patted him on the shoulder with satisfaction, saying that having many skills is never a burden. He then told them to get into the water immediately and catch more seafood for a seafood feast tonight.

The others were not idle either, looking in the crevices between the rocks by the sea for any seafood washed ashore by the tide.

Huo Sang was the first to discover a crab. He called everyone over excitedly, and the next second a scream rang out…

“Ah ah ah ah, it hurts, it hurts!!!” Huo Sang danced wildly, the crab in his hand also swinging in mid-air.

The crab’s claw was firmly clamped onto his finger. Seeing everyone running over, Huo Sang pleaded, “Quick, quick, get it off me, my finger hurts so much.”

It’s unclear whether Huo Sang’s luck was good or bad; he was the first to find ingredients, and also the first to get injured.

The cameraman focused the lens on Huo Sang, and the netizens in the live stream burst into laughter.

【Huo Sang is a real talent, grabbing it right away, no wonder he got pinched.】

【Green crabs pinch really hard, I had the misfortune of being pinched while beachcombing.】

【My heart aches.】

【My heart aches, too.】

【Poor kid.】

【It’s a shame there are no staff members who can dive. I want to see how Yan Ye and Xiao Wen are doing in the sea, if they’ve caught anything.】

After the green crab was removed, Huo Sang followed behind Qin Yan with red eyes, “This crab is mine today, no one is allowed to steal it from me.”

He wanted to get revenge for this “first blood”.

Qin Yan used tongs to throw the crab into the bucket, turned back to the person following him, and said, “No one is stealing from you.”

Huo Sang grunted satisfactorily, continued following Qin Yan, occasionally touching the seawater by accident, which hurt so much he cried out like a baby.

He Lin, who happened to be nearby, heard him and muttered, “He just got pinched, is that really necessary?”

Qin Yan, who was bending down to use the tongs on an octopus in a rock crevice, paused. “Sister He, if you think being pinched by a green crab doesn’t hurt, that green crab is still in the bucket. How about you put your hand in and see if it hurts?”

Although Qin Yan hadn’t been in the entertainment industry as long as He Lin and hadn’t acted in as many dramas, he had a strong background, so naturally, he spoke without reservation.

He Lin was stunned by these words. This was her first time on a show with these people, and she didn’t know their temperaments.

Huo Sang, who heard Qin Yan’s words, felt extremely relieved. His hand didn’t hurt anymore, and he even chuckled, tilting his head to look at He Lin, “Sister He, if it’s not necessary, why don’t you give it a try?”

He used the tongs to pick up the crab and held it towards He Lin.

Seeing the two large crab claws, He Lin was so scared she fled from their vicinity and went to pick up things on another rock.

In the live stream, netizens were commenting that He Lin fled in panic.

【So funny, if it’s not necessary, why did she run?】

【Exactly, just let yourself be pinched and you’ll know if it hurts.】

【Doesn’t anyone feel that it’s not nice for these two grown men to talk to a girl like that?】

【These two guys are too petty, they just said something, is that necessary?】

【It’s not necessary, it’s not necessary unless you let yourself be pinched, then you’ll know if it hurts.】

【We are not targeting women, it’s because she has a loose mouth.】

【Huo Sang’s fans, please be more virtuous with your words, be careful your idol becomes irrelevant.】

【Hehehe, even if our Huo Bao becomes irrelevant, he still has family inheritance. Do you have any? Do you? Do you have any? No, no, no, important words said three times.】

The bullet screen in the live stream changed from the previous harmonious atmosphere, with fans from the three sides arguing happily.

The Director had a headache and blurted out without thinking, “Why is He Lin talking nonsense? And what are Qin Yan and Huo Sang doing? We’re still live!”

Song Yang had been sitting with the Director the whole time and also saw the bullet screen in the live stream. He pushed his sunglasses onto his forehead, a mocking curve appearing on his lips, “She deserves it.”

The Director realized who he was scolding and echoed with a smile, “You are right, sigh, these guests nowadays just won’t give me peace of mind.”

Song Yang didn’t continue that sentence. He had already stood up and walked towards Huo Sang’s group.

On the other side of the seabed, Yan Ye and Xiao Wen were a distance apart. The other person seemed very afraid of him and kept a distance.

They had been in the water for a while now. Yan Ye’s harvest was quite plentiful. In contrast, Xiao Wen’s net bag only contained a few small yellow fish, a dismal haul.

Yan Ye’s forward swimming motion suddenly stopped. The moment he turned back, he flicked his hand, the fish spear pointing directly at Xiao Wen.

This series of actions was as if he was treating the person behind him as a fish.

Xiao Wen couldn’t imagine, if Yan Ye’s hand movements were loose, would he be like a fish, speared to death in the sea by Yan Ye?

He no longer had the capacity to think about whether Yan Ye did it on purpose. He swam up fiercely, not daring to stay any longer.

Yan Ye just wanted to scare him and didn’t intend to kill him. Now, the longer he stayed on the show, the more difficult it would be for Xiao Wen and He Lin.

Seeing that the ingredients in his net bag were enough for them to eat, he also swam up.

The group waiting on the shore saw someone swimming up and all ran to greet them.

The first person to surface was Xiao Wen. His face was pale. As he walked towards the beach, he stumbled and fell twice.

Huo Sang originally wanted to see what he caught, but seeing his unwell appearance, he first asked a concerned question.

Xiao Wen showed a forced smile, “It’s been too long since I’ve dived, the water pressure is a bit uncomfortable. I’ll be fine after resting for a while.”

Xiao Wen’s fans in the live stream saw him like this and expressed their distress.

【This show is too exploitative. How can they make people go into the water to catch fish themselves? Can’t the production team bring professional staff?】

【It’s fine for Huo Sang and the others, they’re just reaping the rewards. Anyone can say a few words of concern!】

【Xiao Wen’s face is pale from being in the water. Hurry up and rest!】

【Thanks to our Xiao Wen, we have this seafood feast tonight.】

【Xiao Wen, who has a diving certificate, is so uncomfortable, what about Yan Ye? Why haven’t we seen him come up yet?】

When fans asked about Yan Ye, Huo Sang was also the first to think of him and immediately asked, “Where is Brother Yan? Why hasn’t he come back yet? Didn’t you go to the same place?”

Thinking of the reason he came up early, Xiao Wen’s face became unnatural, “I was a bit uncomfortable, so I came up first.”

Not hearing that they split up, nor that there was an accident, Huo Sang felt relieved and went to look at the net bag Xiao Wen brought back.

“Only this much, is it enough to eat tonight?” Huo Sang asked, his hand reaching to grab the fish in the net bag, but he was slapped by Qin Yan.

“Why did you hit me?” Huo Sang rubbed the back of his hand, asking angrily, not noticing Xiao Wen rolling his eyes at him because of his words.

Qin Yan used tongs to clip the fish into the bucket and explained, “Don’t wail like a ghost if you get pricked by a fish bone later.”

Hearing this, Huo Sang quickly withdrew the hand he had extended, just looking and not touching.

In the live stream’s bullet screen, everyone was amused by their interaction.

【Huo Sang chickened out. Don’t think we didn’t see the hand you secretly extended earlier quickly retract.】

【Just a heads-up, some fish spines have a little bit of poison. Getting pricked hurts even more than being pinched by a crab.】

【Have any friends noticed that Qin Yan pays too much attention to Huo Sang? Ever since he was pinched by the crab, these two have been hanging out together?】

【What does Huo Sang mean? It’s already good that there’s food to eat, and he still dislikes the small amount of fish Xiao Wen caught? If you’re capable, go yourself!】

【Xiao Wen indeed caught very few fish, less than what they picked up on the shore. Huo Sang didn’t say anything wrong.】

【Alright, alright, our Xiao Wen caught few fish, then don’t eat tonight? Aren’t you complaining about the lack? If you’re capable, go catch them yourself.】

To say that Huo Sang was being very polite about the small amount of fish was already an understatement. Xiao Wen caught fewer fish than the seafood a few people found in the rock crevices.

Since it was a deserted island and no one came here to beachcomb year-round, there was quite a lot of food they could find.

Song Yang also walked over at this time. His words were much less polite. He glanced at it, lifted his eyelids, and said, “Just this little? There are more than ten of us, are we going to share one fish between two people?”

Including the guests and a few staff members, there were indeed more than ten people in the production team.

Song Yang was also subjected to a barrage of curses from Xiao Wen’s fans in the bullet screen because of this undisguised mockery.

The person in question, Song Yang, was with the Director and completely ignored these bullet screen comments.

Just when everyone was discussing what to eat tonight, another person emerged from the sea.

Song Yang curled his lips upwards. Seeing the bullet screen still cursing him, he deliberately said to the Director, “Let’s go and see if this guest has no harvest like the previous one.”

The Director was stunned by what he said and followed him over.

The bullet screen continued to curse. Xiao Wen’s fans could all see that Song Yang was being sarcastic and retorted without showing weakness.

【Xiao Wen had diving experience to bring back this many fish, you should be satisfied, are you still hoping for Yan Ye?】

【Song Yang, don’t think that just because you are the CEO of Tian Yu Entertainment, we dare not scold you. Our Xiao Wen is not an artist from your company.】

【Hahaha, the artists from their company are still sleeping soundly in the villa, letting other artists find ingredients for their company’s artists, and they still have the nerve to say there’s little, showing no respect for others’ labor results.】

【Exactly, they don’t contribute anything, where do they get the nerve to talk about the guest?】

【Stop, stop, stop, Mr. Song was only talking about your Xiao Wen alone, don’t drag other guests into this.】

The more the Director read the bullet screen, the more his heart trembled, fearing that the man with the unnatural smile beside him would get angry and suddenly refuse to lend them the island for filming.

Huo Sang had a loud voice. A shocked exclamation of “Wow” attracted the Director to quicken his pace towards them.

“This, this, this fish is so big, maybe ten catties!” Huo Sang asked Qin Yan beside him in shock. He was also afraid he couldn’t control himself and wanted to hug the fish, so he kept pulling Qin Yan’s arm.

The Director came over, also shocked, “Yan Ye, this fish of yours is good! It’s a grouper, right? Big enough, enough to eat!”

Of course, besides this fish, there were quite a few other good things, a small lobster that was not small in size, and… two more groupers.

Everyone was shocked. Although they were smaller than the previous one, they were much larger than the small yellow fish Xiao Wen caught.

Besides these, there was also an eel, whelk, octopus…

The Director couldn’t stop smiling now. He called everyone back to the villa. Tonight’s seafood feast was secured.

Song Yang curled his lips, unsure if he was being sarcastic towards the bullet screen comments or Xiao Wen, and said, “Comparing people can really make you angry.”

Yan Ye was still taking off his diving equipment. Hearing this, he teased in a voice only the two of them could hear, “Who offended Mr. Song?”
