Chapter 214 Double Standards
When Yuan Sixiao heard that he was to be interviewed, he simply raised an eyebrow and agreed.
Yuan Sicheng had no objections and sat casually on the sofa, looking quite interested.
That way, the fact that they were paying out of pocket was so obvious, it was almost unbearable to look at.
Director Wang personally took on the role of temporary interview host.
Looking at Yuan Sixiao, he asked, "As the second and fourth eldest brothers in the family, Yuan Si'an is going to participate in a program. Do you have any instructions for him?"
Yuan Sixiao: "Whatever, as long as I'm alive."
Yuan Sicheng: "He's such a grown man, it's unreasonable to need to give him instructions just to go out!"
Director Wang:......
He almost thought he had misheard.
It was a long story, and unwilling to give up, he continued to ask, "What about Yuan Yangyang?"
Yuan Sixiao: "Just be happy. Winning or losing doesn't matter. Just don't let anyone bully you."
Yuan Sicheng: "Any dirty or tiring work, any messy tasks, just let your fifth brother do them. Just do whatever makes you comfortable."
Glancing at Director Wang beside him, Yuan Sixiao bluntly said, "If the production team doesn't behave, you can come back. Let your fifth brother pay the breach of contract fee; he's rich."
Yuan Sicheng nodded repeatedly, "Yes. That's right."
Director Wang's face darkened.
Not daring to lose his temper, he kept a stiff face and forced a smile, saying, "Our production team always puts our guests first, and is determined to make every guest feel at home and want to stay longer."
Yuan Sixiao gave a cold laugh: "Heh."
Yuan Sicheng: "I understand these kinds of variety shows. They usually talk a good game but don't sing. But it's okay. If Yuan Yangyang doesn't have fun, she can come back. I can afford the penalty for breach of contract."
Director Wang: He didn't just find a guest, he found himself a living father!
I wish I hadn't done that stupid interview.
Now, even filming a TV show requires worrying about guests running away at the last minute.
After all, this was the first time he had ever encountered a guest who was so wealthy and only went on the show for fun.
I originally thought I had found a perfect brother and sister pair, but now it seems I've stumbled upon a disaster!
If this upsets the siblings, they might really quit.
The only thing Director Wang was thankful for was that Yuan Yangyang and Yuan Si'an didn't see this part of the interview.
It would be best if they never knew what their two older brothers said.
The comments section was already filled with laughter.
"Haha, Yuan Sixiao, do you have to be so hypocritical? Your sister is your own, but your brother is just an adopted child, right?"
"What do you know, upstairs? Things are valued for their scarcity. The Yuan family has five sons, so they're definitely not popular. It's normal to spoil their only daughter/sister."
"Waaaah, I'm so envious of Yuan Yangyang being pampered by her whole family. Did she get some kind of 'family darling' script? Good family background, good looks, she was born into such a good family!"
"Others go on TV shows: make money. The Yuan siblings go on TV shows: pay breach of contract fees."
While others go on TV for work, the Yuan siblings go on TV: for fun.
"Director: The responsibility on my shoulders suddenly became much heavier. If I make the young lady unhappy, I'll have to pay a penalty and leave."
'The requirements for Yuan Si'an are too low. Just surviving is enough. Anyone who didn't know better would think they were participating in some kind of adventure show! Is it that hard to survive? Hahaha'
"When other people appear on TV shows, the production team pays them. But when the Yuan siblings appear on TV shows, they pay the production team if they're unhappy. Is this the difference between the rich and ordinary people?"
"Director: I accidentally discovered another way to make money."
Undeterred, Director Wang asked again, "How much living expenses do you think would be appropriate for them during the week of filming?"
Yuan Sicheng asked incredulously, "You're not providing meals?"
Yuan Sixiao raised an eyebrow; "It's better not to record this program."
Director Wang tried his best to maintain a fake smile, saying, "Of course not, but the show requires it. Sometimes you need to complete tasks to get food or meal money."
"Or is it that if you were asked to cover their living expenses, you simply don't want to?"
Yuan Sicheng warned: "Are you sure this was a pre-arranged plan by the production team, and not something added on the spot? I feel like you're trying to make us pay for this."
Director Wang: "No, it's purely a coincidence."
"According to the original procedure, we would also interview the guest's family members."
However, the living expenses were covered by the production team.
Now, seeing Yuan Sicheng's pained expression after being ripped off, Director Wang felt that changing the program rules wouldn't be a big deal.
That would actually make it more interesting.
Yuan Sicheng spoke first, without any resentment or complaint, "If it were the fifth son, a grown man should be able to support himself. How can he ask his family for living expenses at his age?"
Yuan Sixiao: "Agreed."
Director Wang was surprised. "You mean you're not planning to give Yuan Si'an living expenses?"
The two brothers exchanged a glance and nodded in tacit agreement.
Director Wang is exhausted.
While it would be interesting to see the guests without living expenses, he was also worried that if the young master had a miserable time on the show, he might get upset and just abandon the production team and run away.
After all, the Yuan family isn't short of that small amount of breach of contract penalty.
After thinking for a moment, Director Wang asked again, "Then, what about Yuan Yangyang? Doesn't she get any living expenses either?"
Yuan Sicheng: "How could that be? Girls should be raised in luxury. Not only should they be given things, but they shouldn't be too stingy or miserly. What kind of behavior is that!"
Yuan Sixiao nodded, "Yes, my Yuan family is not short of money, give me whatever you want."
Yuan Sicheng thought for a moment, then held up five fingers and asked Yuan Sixiao, "Is this number too low or too low?"
Yuan Sixiao frowned. "Five million? Isn't that a bit low?"
Yuan Sicheng: "I meant 500,000."
Director Wang: Goodness, I thought you meant 50,000.
What the hell? Five million? Is that too little?
Do you want to hear what you're saying? Is it even reasonable?
The live stream was flooded with comments, all shouting "Great job!"
"Although poverty may limit my imagination, this is just too poor!"
Who has a family where the weekly allowance starts with a million? Five million? That's too little? Xiao Ge, are you sure you're not talking about Korean won?
"A good job? This is amazing! I recognize every single word, but I can't recognize them all when they're put together!"
"Tears of envy streamed down my face. Young master, are you hiring any handbag carriers? On call 24/7, all-around service, just pay me!"
Yuan Sixiao frowned and looked at the fourth brother, "How can you treat your only sister like this? Doesn't your conscience hurt?"
Yuan Sicheng said aggrievedly, "I only have one million in my pocket, which includes my plane ticket back to the team."
Director Wang: "Gentlemen, the living expenses for seven days cannot exceed three thousand yuan."
The two brothers turned their heads, their expressions hostile. "You did this on purpose?"
Director Wang is suffering in silence.
If there's no upper limit, these two rascals will definitely ruin his show.
Finally, witnessed by Director Wang and viewers in the live stream, the two Yuan brothers reached an agreement.
It was decided to give Yuan Yangyang and Yuan Si'an a total of 6,000 yuan for living expenses.
Director Wang: "Didn't you say you wouldn't give Yuan Si'an any money?"
The two brothers said, "Are you suggesting we let the fifth brother leech off his sister? No way!"
