"Sorry, I accidentally overslept!" Zhao Yingling said with a frown, looking very annoyed.
Su Tong didn’t say much, just glanced at her watch, "You better hurry up and get ready or we’re going to be late."
"Okay, I’ll get ready right away." Zhao Yingling quickly nodded in agreement.
Ye Wanwan and the rest went downstairs to wait. They waited for about twenty minutes and it was almost two-thirty. Zhang Xuehan was about to go up and urge her when they finally heard noise from upstairs.
Zhang Xuehan sighed heavily, her expression becoming somewhat impatient, regardless of whether they were on a live broadcast or not.
She hadn’t always been in the entertainment industry and, even though she had retired, trying to make a living in the entertainment industry didn’t mean she could always wear a mask.
She felt that she had been tolerant enough with Zhao Yingling, but it seemed like she was still testing her patience, bit by bit.
"Alright, we can set off now!" said Zhao Yingling as she hurriedly descended the stairs.
Zhang Xuehan, who had just shown impatience, suddenly looked tense, "Slow down, Zhenzhen can’t keep up with you!"
Zhao Yingling was leading Zhao Zhenzhen, but as she briskly moved downstairs, Zhao Zhenzhen’s short legs couldn’t keep up with her pace, and Zhang Xuehan felt she was going to fall.
Upon hearing Zhang Xuehan’s reminder, Zhao Yingling turned to look at the little girl beside her and then continued to smile at Zhang Xuehan, "It’s fine."
Zhang Xuehan was so irritated she was at a loss for words.
She looked at Zhao Yingling coldly, perhaps cursing herself countless times internally. It was Zhao Yingling’s daughter after all; if she wasn’t worried about Zhao Zhenzhen accidentally falling down the stairs, why was she so concerned?
Truly, it was none of her business!
The group set out for the town, discussing in the car how they should go about selling the strawberries quickly upon arrival.
Ye Wanwan didn’t have any experience in this matter, Su Tong wasn’t new to variety show recordings and knew how to attract customers, and even Zhao Yingling had experience in variety shows.
Thus, Ye Wanwan humbly asked for their advice on how to attract customers.
However, what they didn’t expect was that upon arriving in town, none of the strategies they had discussed could be implemented.
It was only after they arrived that they realized the streets were completely devoid of pedestrians. There were convenience stores and shops selling clothes and shoes with actual storefronts, but there were no street vendors at all!
Su Tong found a place to park the car, and they all got out, frowning at the sight of a few middle-aged women cracking sunflower seeds together and several children playing and frolicking in the streets.
In the end, it was Su Tong who went into a shop to inquire.
When Su Tong came back out, everyone asked anxiously, "What’s going on?"
Su Tong frowned slightly, then said somewhat speechlessly, "People here only go to the market every five days. Aside from market days, the streets are basically empty."
"What?" Zhang Xuehan had never encountered such a situation in her life and was momentarily at a loss.
"With no one around, how are we going to sell our strawberries?" Ye Wanwan was also shocked. If they couldn’t sell the strawberries, they wouldn’t even be able to afford dinner that night.
"How can there be no one? With so many houses, are they all empty?" Xiao Yu shouted from the side.
