The Film Queen Is Cold and Ruthless, Only Sends Money - Chapter 43.3

[I can’t stop laughing. The director was so excited to enjoy a feast, only to end up being their taste-tester for dark cuisine! Seems like she can’t escape being pranked by the guests!]

Fortunately, aside from the two dishes made by Liu Yangran and Ye Ying, everyone else’s cooking turned out delicious.

But the stir-fried tomatoes with eggs and sautéed greens couldn’t go to waste either. Lin Yan piled most of these two dishes into Liu Yangran and Ye Ying’s bowls: “Since you made these yourselves, you should eat more.”

As she served the food, her memory was particularly sharp, and she kept repeating the overly confident remarks the two had made earlier.

Including but not limited to: “We’ve been practicing our cooking skills at home,” “The food we make is definitely super delicious,” “I’m sure you’ll be amazed by us”

The dining table was filled with laughter except from the two of them.

Liu Yangran and Ye Ying: QAQ

While everyone else had taken their first bite of fish, Jiang Zhi had instead picked up the sweet and sour spare ribs made by Su Yun and herself. Just like at home, the familiar taste remained.

She didn’t hold back her praise. After finishing, she leaned toward Su Yun and said, “Delicious.”

“Of course it’s delicious, I made it! Definitely better than theirs!” Su Yun was equally confident, and with the food she’d prepared right in front of them, there was no denying the truth. No risk of exaggeration here.

What’s more, with Jiang Zhi personally vouching for its tastiness, there was no room for doubt.

At that moment, the director, who had been about to pick up a piece of sweet and sour spare ribs, overheard their conversation.

His chopsticks hovered mid-air, how could he already feel full before even taking a bite?!

–

They had returned from the amusement park at noon, cooked their own meal, and after a rowdy lunch, it was already afternoon.

“I’m officially a salted fish now. I voluntarily forfeit the afternoon tasks,” Su Xue declared, sprawled on the sofa.

Su Yun grabbed two throw pillows, handing one to Jiang Zhi before asking, “Are there even tasks this afternoon? I think post-lunch is the perfect time for a good rest. Director, don’t you agree?”

Having eaten two lunches, the director found himself somewhat swayed by Su Yun’s logic!

“A fed mouth is a silenced mouth, and a hand that takes is a softened hand.” Lin Yan played both the emotional and logical cards, determined to secure some benefits for the group. “Director, you wouldn’t assign us tasks right after a meal, would you? That wouldn’t be very appropriate, would it?”

For once, the group was united. Liu Yangran and Ye Ying wisely kept silent, lest the director recall the dishes they’d just eaten.

Director: “This isn’t really up to me. Today’s itinerary is entirely decided by the live-stream audience. They’ve chosen an outdoor activity for everyone, so you’ll still need to head out.”

“…”

Jing Zhaozhao: “We took the wrong approach earlier. We should’ve invited the live-stream audience to eat with us.”

By the time the director mentioned this, it was already too late!

The director quickly backpedaled: “But don’t worry, this afternoon and evening’s outdoor activities will be very relaxed.”

After all, having eaten the guests’ lunch, he could afford to be a little kinder to them.

Director: “Our next destination is Jin Guang City’s most famous barbecue street. There, you can experience the city’s specialty cuisine and get a taste of the local culture.”

The moment he mentioned “barbecue street,” all the guests immediately sprang up from the sofa. They didn’t even catch the rest of his words their ears were filled solely with the word “barbecue.”

The guests, already at the door, turned back to look at the still-stationary production crew and asked, “What are we waiting for? Aren’t we leaving now?!”

If they went too late, what would happen to their barbecue?!

Director: “…”

This might just be the most enthusiastic the guests have ever been!

–

The barbecue street they were heading to was quite far, and the journey wouldn’t be short. To prevent the live-stream audience from getting bored, the production team decided to move one of the evening segments forward.

It was a segment where the guests would chat with the live-stream viewers. According to the rotation rules, it was now Su Yun and Jiang Zhi’s turn.

Su Yun recalled their last live-stream chat with the audience and remarked, “It didn’t feel like a conversation more like we were all just talking nonsense, reading and replying randomly.”

Her comment successfully made everyone burst into laughter.

Only Su Yun and Jiang Zhi would get such bizarre questions. The others received normal inquiries about their upcoming plans or whether they were enjoying the show.

Of course, when it came to the last question, their answers were unanimously the same four words desperate to escape.

[I really want to run, but I can’t escape.jpg]

The moment they said it, fans immediately dug up this meme, which fit the situation perfectly.

Jiang Zhi also smiled and asked the director, “So, are we starting now?”

The director replied, “According to the order, today is Su Yun and Jiang Zhi’s turn. But because of today’s special game rules, the couple group chatting with the audience will be decided by a vote.”

All the guests agreed.

Lin Yan chimed in, “But when you think about it, whoever chats with us tonight will be the ones we voted for during the day. So, in a way, there’s not much left to talk about.”

“Did everyone in the live-stream hear what Director Lin just said?” Su Xue teased from the side. “If it ends up being Director Lin later, remember to bombard her with requests, she’ll fulfill them all!”

The director opened a poll in the live-stream with four options.

At the same time, the live-stream screen was turned toward the guests so they could watch the vote count change in real time.

Unlike previous polls, this one was surprisingly close, with the votes neck and neck.

[Director Lin, since you said that, I’m voting for you! When it’s your turn, you better sing for us!]
