Chapter 12 How about forming a small team to work together? The director suddenly suggested, If you group up, the more people you have, the more power youll have.
Itll be easier to go out and help the villagers or do tasks.
Mixed-gender teams are fine.
Although the original plan didnt include this, given the current conflicts among the guests, grouping them together could provide more drama.
Sasha was the first to agree with the directors suggestion, Thats a great idea! Gracie, lets team up? Were staying together, so itll be convenient.
As long as she could team up with Gracie, Ashley, who was known for being a doting sibling, would probably join their team too.
Mr.
Bailey would likely follow the rooms lead and join them as well.
The team would feature top stars and acclaimed actors, making for a star-studded group.
However, Sasha wasnt keen on teaming up with Parker.
Despite being a top star with plenty of exposure, Parker was known for his harsh tongue and lack of sympathy.
She feared that once he targeted her, she might end up in tears.
It would be better to keep their distance.
Gracie didnt respond immediately to Sashas comment.
Deep down, she still wanted to be in the same team as Parker.
She was confident she could change his opinion of her over time.
But since he had already clashed with her brother Ashley from the start, it seemed unlikely they would be able to team up together.
For now, she decided to team up with Cohen and take this opportunity to completely pull him away from Lucy! Okay, Im fine with that, Gracie nodded and then looked at Ashley, What about you guys? Of course, well team up with you, Ashley said.
Cohen, who had been unexpectedly put in charge, muttered, … He had originally planned to join Lucys team to resolve misunderstandings, but Ashley had taken that chance away.
How annoying! However, teaming up with Gracie could give him a chance to take care of her along the way, which was also a positive aspect.
Maintaining his aloof demeanor, Cohen said, Im fine with whatever.
The teams were set.
Parker asked Mel, The other room has already grouped up.
Should we team up with the female guests here? The easygoing Mel smiled and nodded, Sure, lets see what the two ladies think.
He then looked at Lucy and Demi, and asked, Shall we form a team of four? Lucy and Demi exchanged glances and nodded in agreement, No problem.
The teams were successfully formed.
Seeing the eight guests divided into two teams with potential for competition and interaction, the director felt very satisfied with the expected drama.

The remaining time is yours.
We will no longer participate, the director said, then retreated with the staff to the corner of the yard, leaving only the photographer with them.
After their recent exertion, they decided to rest for a bit, recover their strength, and use the opportunity to discuss their next plans.
Both teams went into separate rooms.
Parker, lounging in a chair, said, The show wants us to help the villagers with their work in exchange for the food we want.
How do we know which households need help? Do we really have to ask each one? Mel nodded, Thats probably the case.
Since we dont know the villagers, asking them directly is the only way.
Demi agreed, Looks like we need to start early; the workload might be substantial.
After all, there are so many households in the village.
Lucy spoke up, I have an idea.
Whats the idea? the three of them asked in unison.
Lets first find the village secretary, Lucy suggested.
We can ask him about the situation in the village, find out which households need help, and then target those households.
We can also see if the village committee needs any assistance.
Her suggestion immediately sparked ideas in the group.
Yes, the village secretary knows the villages situation better.
This approach is more focused and saves time and effort! Demi said, her eyes lighting up.
Mel agreed, That makes sense.
I support it! Parker added, I agree too.
Thus, Lucys suggestion was unanimously approved.
Well head out later, after the other team leaves, Parker said.
The three understood immediatelythis efficient approach couldnt be used by the other team.
They werent so kind-hearted.
After resting, Cohens team had already left.
They followed them out and saw that the other team was heading towards the village entrance, starting to inquire at each household.
The group exchanged smiles.
They set out and flagged down a villager on the road, politely asking for the address of the village secretarys home.
The village secretary was aware of the shows filming in the village and had informed the villagers to cooperate.
He was surprised that the celebrities had come to find him directly.
Smiling and greeting them, the village secretary asked, What can I do for you? Lucy replied, Wed like to understand the villagers situation, see who needs help with their tasks, and in exchange for our assistance, we hope to get some food.
The village secretary was surprised by the cleverness of the beautiful girl, who knew to come to him first to understand the villages situation.
He was happy to help and said, Our village is somewhat remote and underdeveloped.
We have a total of 123 households, mostly elderly and children, with many young adults having gone out to work… As for those who need help, there are a few households… Toms fruit trees are about to be harvested and may need assistance.
Jacks elderly family member injured their back while fetching water a few days ago and may need help with water carrying.
Jerrys family… As the village secretary listed these, Lucy quickly recorded the information and drew a simplified map of the village, marking the locations of the households mentioned.
After understanding the situation, they left the office, and the village secretary personally saw them out.
Lucy noticed an old tractor in the yard and asked, This tractor looks like it hasnt been used for a long time.
Is it broken? Yes, its been broken for a month, the village secretary nodded.
Weve had several attempts to fix it, but its still not working.
We dont know what to do.
The village budget is tight, and buying a new tractor would put a lot of pressure on the village.
The situation left the village secretary quite distressed.
Can the tractor get up to the village? Parker asked curiously.
Of course, theres a wide road leading into the village, straight to the town.
Both tractors and small vehicles can use it, the village secretary smiled.
The road you came up is a small path.
Parker and the others were taken aback, realizing they had been tricked by the shows producers, who had claimed even motorcycles couldnt handle the road.
Lucy continued to emphasize, If we fix the tractor, could the village offer us some food as a reward? Of course! the village secretary said immediately, then hesitated, But do you know how to repair a tractor? The other three guests looked at Lucy, We dont know.
Do you? Lucys smile gradually widened.
I do.
