Chapter 175: Posting Her Picture Online.
Shen Zhiyi joined in at the last minute and only received the variety show’s script on the way over. Just as Wang Feifei had said, the show was actually quite easy to film; it primarily involved learning crafts from artisans and playing some games in between.
The celebrity she replaced had been assigned to the jade carving group, so when Shen Zhiyi recorded the first episode, she had to pick up a carving knife.
Unexpectedly, she turned out to be a bona fide member of the "handicapped-party" when it came to crafts, with a slow grasp; she made items that made the master craftsmen laugh quite a few times.
After two days of filming, aside from providing comic relief for the show, Shen Zhiyi only ended up with a collection of bizarre jade carvings.
She brought her creations back to Huating, where the butler laughed at them for a while.
"Sigh," Shen Zhiyi looked at the array of oddly shaped things she had made and sighed in frustration, "You all laugh at me. I originally wanted to give these to Pei Yu, but now it seems I’d better not."
She also admitted that what she had made was indeed quite ugly.
"No need to worry about that," the butler gathered the animal carvings, which you couldn’t tell what animals they were supposed to be, onto the shelf, "The sir might like them."
"Even if he says he likes them, it could only be to comfort me," Shen Zhiyi had no confidence in her craftsmanship at all.
"The production team said I could switch groups. I’m considering whether to switch to another group, to stop learning jade carving."
Seeing her look so downcast, the butler comforted her, "It might not necessarily be your fault; it could be because the things they have you making are simply too difficult. You are a beginner; you should start with something simple."
