Huh? Are villainous bosses this easy to flirt with?

Chapter 68 This is all money!

Lu Sang looked hurt. "No, are the meals on set really that bad?"

He turned his gaze to Xie Qing.

Xie waved her hand lightly, "Don't ask me, I only ate a few bites a month ago, I've forgotten what it tasted like."

His gaze then turned to Liang Shun.

Without the slightest hesitation, Liang Shun immediately replied, "Director Lu, it really is hard to eat."

Lu Sang: No, couldn't you at least have hesitated for a moment?

Xie Qing couldn't help but laugh out loud.

It has to be Liang Shun again; his personality hasn't changed at all, he's frighteningly straightforward.

Lu Sang looked intently at Jiang Nan.

Jiang Nan swallowed the food in her mouth. "To be fair, before we ate Xie Qing's food, the crew's boxed meals were pretty good. They had meat and vegetables, and they even had soup."

Lu Sang's eyes lit up when he heard these words.

"But, after eating Xie Qing's food, the crew's boxed lunches are really bad. I can't even eat a bite now."

The light in his eyes has disappeared again.

Lu Sang didn't believe it. Could these dishes really be that delicious?

"Liang Shun, move over a bit and make room for me."

Liang Shun immediately moved aside. "Director Lu, are you joining us too?"

"Join? Not really. I just want to know what's so magical about this food that makes you guys keep craving it."

Lu Sang took apart a new pair of chopsticks, picked up a piece of the same dish, and stuffed it into his mouth. Instantly, his pupils dilated, and his taste buds were greatly satisfied.

No... this is so delicious!

He used to live such a hard life!

Then, one chopstick, two chopsticks... When she picked up the fourth chopstick, Jiang Lingling couldn't hold back anymore and started fighting with Lu Sang for it.

"Director Lu, please save some for me! I really love this dish!"

Jiang Lingling shouted as she grabbed it.

Fortunately, after some struggle, Jiang Lingling managed to pick up a few bites.

She ate with great satisfaction, her mouth full, and asked indistinctly, "Xie Qing, where did your assistant order the food from? It tastes absolutely amazing. Next time, I'll just go to that restaurant."

When Lu Sang heard her question, he frowned and thought for a while before saying, "I think I vaguely heard his assistant mention something about a manor."

Jiangnan Nan chimed in, "Yes, I also remember it was some kind of prefecture."

Liang Shun slapped his forehead and exclaimed, "Could it be the Golden Pavilion Mansion?!"

Jiang Lingling quickly shook her head, looking disgusted. "Impossible. I ate at the Golden Pavilion once. The decoration there was very luxurious, but the food was not this good at all. In fact, it was extremely bad."

Xie Qing, who had been focused on eating, felt a sense of helplessness when he saw them start guessing the name of the restaurant as they ate.

"Stop guessing, it's the Imperial Kitchen. Let's eat."

As soon as the words were spoken, the air became eerily quiet.

Xie Qing looked up and found that the other four people were looking at her in shock.

Xie Qing: "?"

what happened?

Jiang Lingling carefully lifted the bowl of food and looked down. The words "Imperial Cuisine" were clearly reflected at the bottom of the bowl.

She was instantly scorched and burned.

"This is truly the imperial kitchen!!!"

Xie Qing was completely confused. "Yeah, what's wrong?"

Jiang Lingling was incredulous. She had been eating at Xie Qing's restaurant for almost half a month, and the food she had been eating there actually came from the Imperial Kitchen.

Even if you sold her the food from the Imperial Kitchen, she still couldn't afford it!

This is all money!

Liang Shun nudged Xie Qing's arm and asked, "Xie Qing, are you a hidden rich kid? You can afford to eat at the Imperial Restaurant, which is so expensive, and you eat there every single meal."

Xie Qing looked bewildered. "Is it very expensive?"

How expensive can food be in a restaurant?

Liang Shun looked shocked. "Don't you know? A bowl of plain porridge in the Imperial Kitchen costs 19,999 yuan."

Jiang Lingling chimed in, "You might think it's robbing you for nothing, but it somehow manages to give you a bowl of plain porridge."

Xie Qing: I never knew food in a restaurant could be so expensive.

After his initial surprise, he thought about it for a moment and found it quite normal, since for Huo Yunting, this expense was a drop in the ocean.

It seems that raising Huo Yunting is a long and arduous journey, and he will have to work even harder!

Xie Qing regained her composure and glanced at the four people who dared not touch their chopsticks. "Eat quickly, it'll be a waste if you don't finish."

The other four people said: It's a waste of money if we can't finish the food.

Since Xie Qing had already said so, the group wasn't going to hesitate, so they picked up their chopsticks and started eating.

In particular, Liang Shun secretly ate only a tiny bit of food from a bowl when no one was eating.

"Liang Shun, you're a real sly fox, leave some for me."

Liang Shun said very seriously, "Director Lu, it's already in my bowl. Do you want more? I can give it to you."

But his face showed a pained expression.

Lu Sang: ...

No, thank you.

In one corner of the film crew, five people sat around a table eating, chatting and laughing, creating a harmonious atmosphere.

Midway through the meal, Lu Sang's phone suddenly rang.

He went out to answer a phone call, and when he came back, everyone could clearly see that his face was solemn, as if something terrible had happened.

The other four people's heads seemed to be pulled by the same thread, all looking curiously at Lu Sang.

Jiangnan Nan, who was closest to him, immediately teased, "What's wrong? Did your wife run away again?"

Lu Sang instantly bristled like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, his eyes wide with fur. "Your wife ran away! Your whole family ran away!"

Right after he finished cursing, he belatedly realized that his wife was a member of Jiang Nannan's entire family!

Jiangnan looked at him like he was an idiot and said, "Your brain has gone awry."

Is he insulting her or himself?

Lu Sang cleared his throat and said, "I won't argue with you. Anyway, I have something important to announce."

Jiangnan Nan pouted: You're not going to compete with me because you're guilty!

Jiang Lingling was particularly supportive, "Director Lu, what's the big deal!"

"That's right, our biggest investor is coming to inspect the production."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Nan's eyes widened instantly, and she looked at Lu Sang with shock in her eyes.

Lu Sang and she exchanged a glance, and Lu Sang immediately understood what she meant, nodding slightly at her.

Jiangnan was even more shocked now.

Holy crap, the president of the Huo Group is coming!!!

Immediately afterwards, Lu Sang and Jiang Nannan both turned their gazes to Xie Qing.

Lu Sang: "Xie Qing, what do you think?"

Xie Qing: "?"

Q: What is he doing?

Under their gazes, Xie Qing forced out a sentence, "Work hard and let the investors see our efforts?"

Alright, now the two of them are certain that Xie Qing seems to know nothing.

Jiang Lingling asked, puzzled, "Director Lu, Sister Jiang, it's just an investor inspection, it's a very common thing, why are you so nervous?"

Jiangnan Nan had a look on her face that said, "You don't understand."

This wouldn't be a problem if it were a regular investor.

But is this a typical investor?

That's Huo Yunting, the kind you only see on financial news!
