Chapter 195: Chapter 195: Woke Up and the Base Was Stolen?!
Jiang Yan was fully equipped and followed at the end of the team.
He was wearing a sports suit borrowed from He Yun, his face smeared with sunscreen scrounged from Shu Yan, topped with a sun hat snatched from Wen Jiaojiao, and even put on those frequently worn sunglasses.
With this outfit combined with his already striking looks and figure, it was jarringly eye-catching among the group.
But these weren’t the issues.
The issue was—
Could this really be Young Master Jiang, who clung to his bed so fiercely that not even thunder could stir him, and who wouldn’t get up for morning exercise even if he was carried?
[Am I blind? Is that really the young master and not someone Director Sun hired to impersonate him?]
[No way, when did Jiang Yan become so diligent? He actually got up early to go running? And without a single complaint?]
[Has Jiang Yan been possessed too? Didn’t they say Jiang Li changed a lot, and now even Jiang Yan…?]
Jiang Yan had not been possessed.
It all stemmed from last night’s cursed “King’s Game,” which resulted in him being unable to refuse any of Jiang Li’s requests for the entire day.
He couldn’t refuse to wake up early, nor could he refuse to go out for a run.
Just one morning, and he was already on his way to see his great-grandmother; how was he supposed to survive the rest of the day?
Despite his resentment, Jiang Yan maintained a natural demeanor on the surface.
After all, he couldn’t let that girl see through him and win the game, so he had to act as if he had no choice but to begrudgingly yell “How is it not over yet?” every now and then.
Meanwhile, Shang Shaojing and Su Yinwan’s live stream also lit up.
From the time he became an adult, Shang Shaojing gradually took over his family’s conglomerate, busy with work every day, naturally having little time to sleep, let alone to indulge in sleeping in.
However, his usual routine included an iced Americano upon waking, but in this remote mountain retreat, not to mention an iced Americano, even instant coffee was hard to come by.
Regrettably, he had to spend five good score points to get a bag of instant coffee from the program crew.
After carefully brewing it, Shang Shaojing spat out the first sip and then frowned as he threw the rest in the trash can.
[I can’t stand it, is this the difference between rich people and us? This brand of instant coffee is already high-end for a student like me, but President Shang threw it away without a second thought.]
[I’m speechless, although President Shang is a successful individual, but… is it necessary to act like he’d die without an iced Americano? I don’t understand.]
[I don’t understand +1, that stuff is both bitter and astringent, only certain people like to show off and drink it.]
[I finally understand why the show recruited Shang Shaojing for a transformation, this CEO is really out of touch, indeed needs a change.]
Before long, the topic of “iced Americano” made it onto the hot search.
Some corporate slaves staunchly supported Shang Shaojing, directly stating that not drinking iced Americano was akin to drinking plain water.
Another group sarcastically attacked their pretentiousness, and a famous blogger with ten million followers even bought iced Americanos from various brands for a taste test, concluding that—
Drinking iced Americano was no different from eating crap.
The rest were just there for entertainment.
However, after seeing these mocking videos and the company’s stock falling another percentage point, Father Shang’s face turned green again.
When that kid returns, he would definitely have a good talk with him.
A businessman, his son of the merchant family, why did he have to go on a TV show and show his face alongside actors?
He couldn’t afford to lose that face!

Su Yinwan also got up early.
In order to craft a perfect public persona, she specifically had the staff remind her before the broadcast started.
By the time her live streaming room was on, she had already washed up and carefully applied a fake no-makeup look.
The barrage was all about “my wife is so beautiful.”
After simply dressing in casual clothes and finishing breakfast, Su Yinwan set out for the experimental field.
She was brimming with pride along the way.
It wasn’t even 8:00 yet, and she was sure to be the first to reach the experimental field. The audience and fans would definitely think she was dedicated and hardworking, thus they would put yesterday’s unpleasantness out of their minds.
But to her surprise, by the time she arrived, everyone except Shang Shaojing was already sitting under the trees cooling off.
Seeing her approach, Wen Jiaojiao, fanning herself with leaves, raised her eyebrows and gave her a once-over.
“Yo, isn’t this Su the Superstar? Isn’t Su the Superstar the declared role model of the crew? Why so late today?”
Beside her, Shu Yan gave her a nudge, “Jiaojiao, you can’t say that. This isn’t Capital, and it’s Yinwan’s first day, she probably hasn’t adjusted to the time difference. It’s normal for her to wake up late.”
[Laughing pulling the family together, Sister Yan knows how to clear the air. We are all in Hua Country, this little time difference is negligible.]
[Don’t say it that way, really don’t say it that way. Princess and Shu Yan complement each other quite well]
[Why are they taking such a passive-aggressive dig at Wenwen? Where did Wenwen offend them? The guests on this show are really annoying, truly living up to being villains.]
Jiang Yan let out a belch and didn’t speak, still pondering how he would discreetly complete the guard duty later.
He Yun and Jiang Li remained silently as usual.
Su Yinwan’s expression was somewhat uncomfortable.
Getting up so early and still being the last to arrive was bad enough, let alone having to endure Wen Jiaojiao’s sarcasm.
Once she got out of this godforsaken place, she would definitely get PR to publish bad press about her, letting her know the consequences of offending her!
Tightly clenching her fist secretly, Su Yinwan, however, managed to force a smile on her face.
“Sorry everyone, it indeed was my bad for being late. I got caught in the rain yesterday, felt a bit sick, so I delayed everyone. Sorry about that.”
Wen Jiaojiao rolled her eyes without any regard.
Putting on a poor act for whom? Acting as if they hadn’t been caught in rain before?
So how had she previously thought Su Yinwan seemed alright?
Was her brain slammed in a door?
After the latecomer Shang Shaojing successfully arrived, a new day’s tasks officially began.
But what puzzled the group was,
The ground had been planted, the fields had been plowed, the greenhouse had been set up, and the fertilizer sprinkled.
What else could there be today?
Once again, the program crew’s tricky maneuver had them all gobsmacked.
As they crossed the embankments and approached the experimental field, everyone was shocked—
In front of them was not a thriving, neatly arranged experimental field, but patches resembling a battlefield of a world war!
Wen JiaoJiao’s land looked as if it had been sun-dried for eight hundred years, everywhere were dry cracks.
Shu Yan’s strawberry field was the opposite, too much water almost reaching the knee.
He Yun’s ginseng field didn’t escape either; the greenhouse had disappeared, and many plants were uprooted and scattered around.
The rose field managed by Su Yinwan and Shang Shaojing also seemed nibbled by some animal, with leaves scattered all about.
Jiang Yan’s wheat field fared even worse; like trampled by an army, all the seedlings had fallen, creating a complete mess.
Only the land maintained by Jiang Li remained intact, seemingly untouched like an anomaly.
The crowd rubbed their eyes a few times but couldn’t accept the reality.
How, within a sleep, had their base been stolen?!
What do you think?
