Mo Zhen never expected that trouble would strike from the sidelines while she was sitting at the table. The boss's move was so skillful that it was almost flawless. Looking at the eager eyes at the table, she couldn't help but swallow hard. "This matter is still a long way off. I don't even know what the script looks like yet. Hehe, let's talk about it after the New Year."

"Oh, Director Mo, by the time we get to the New Year, it will be too late. Now is the perfect time to take advantage of this opportunity. You can't abandon me!"

Tan Xinlan, in full drama mode, didn't give Mo Zhen a chance to refuse. With the boss present, she wasn't worried about not being given a role as long as Mo Zhen agreed. There were plenty of sluts out there, and who knew who would be scrambling to get in later.

"That's right, Director Mo. We've been working together for a few months now. Even if we don't care about the person, we're still in the same company. You can't just ignore us."

With Tan Xinlan leading the way as Ziwei, the others, Jin Suo, the Fifth Prince, Fu Erkang, and Fu Ertai, all began to plead. Director Wang's drama was a bit far away, but Mo Zhen was right in front of them. Who else could they ask if not him, especially with the boss present as a witness!

With everyone at the table pleading for her, Mo Zhen couldn't very well refuse outright, especially with the boss watching with a smile. "It's no use begging me now. I can only say that once we get the script, the company will give priority to selecting it, and under the same conditions, I will give priority to you. Is that alright?"

Fortunately, Mo Zhen came up with this idea in a moment of inspiration. If Mo Zhen dared to agree to these people now, he dared to say that once he returned, his position as director would be shelved. When it would be reinstated would depend on when Fang Yang was in a good mood, and it would have to be at the perfect moment.

Fortunately, the restaurant staff started serving the dishes at this time. Unlike other restaurants that cook one dish at a time, Luo Cheng cooked half of the dishes before serving them. This had the advantage of preventing the dishes from being snatched up as soon as they were served, leaving customers hungry while waiting for the next dish.

Keep in mind that each table has ten people, all of whom are young. After a long day of filming, their stomachs are empty. They could eat a whole cow if they were served. You wait a few minutes for each dish to be served. I'm afraid that every time a dish is served, the plate of the previous dish can be taken away without a second thought. Although the food smells delicious, there's one thing: you'll never be full!

This is a common tactic used by some popular seafood restaurants. They make you feel like you've had enough to eat, but after you finish, you can't help but order a few more dishes because you're still hungry. A meal takes more than two hours, but you have to wait for more than an hour in between, and no matter how many dishes you order, you still won't be full.

As the waiters moved about, five or six dishes were quickly laid out on the table. Seeing that the waiters had brought out the wine and drinks, Fang Yang picked up a bottle of beer and poured himself a glass. "We have to film tomorrow, so everyone can drink casually. There won't be any toasting or anything like that. Those who can drink can drink, and those who can't can have soft drinks. Everyone has worked hard these past few months, so I'd like to take this opportunity to toast you all and thank you for your support over the past few months. Cheers!"

Aside from a few veteran actors, everyone at the table was young. Even Zhou Xin and Tan Xinlan could drink a few beers. As soon as Fang Yang started drinking, everyone opened their glasses. After having a drink with Fang Yang, Tie Weimin sighed, "I've acted in so many dramas, and this is the first time I've heard someone say that drinking is so casual. But I really like it. As people get older, drinking becomes a hobby, but my body can't handle it anymore, especially with high blood pressure. I can't drink too much. Mr. Fang's suggestion is good. I'll down the first glass, but I can only drink the rest slowly. Please forgive me!"

Fang Yang laughed and said, "Some people like drinking and some don't, but China is a society that values ​​drinking. If you don't drink at all, there's no atmosphere. This is also closely related to our food culture. But drinking too much is bad for your health, so I won't force you. Your health is your own responsibility, so everyone should take care of it and do it in moderation. Okay, I won't say any more. Everyone, eat some food to fill your stomachs. Don't just listen to my speech and not eat. I'm hungry even if you're not!"

Everyone laughed, but they were still waiting for Fang Yang to take the first bite. Fang Yang had no choice. Just then, the waiter brought over a plate of pickled fish. Fang Yang naturally scooped a ladle of soup from it and said, "Boss Luo's fish soup is very fresh and tender. If you like fish, you can eat it while it's hot. It will have a fishy smell when it gets cold, which would be a waste."

After saying that, he picked up a piece of fish, then naturally turned the bowl to Zhou Xin, took Zhou Xin's bowl and repeated it, placing it in front of himself, before turning the fish soup to Mo Zhen, who was closest to him. "Our Director Mo likes fishing, and he likes eating fish even more. Speaking of which, it was Director Mo who brought me here for the first time to eat here."

Mo Zhen didn't refuse. Following Fang Yang's example, she scooped up a ladle of soup and picked up a piece of fish before moving on to the next one. "I really like eating fish, especially fresh wild fish. So when I first came to Hengdian to film, I would take time to go fishing whenever I had a spare moment."

"The owner of this shop, Luo Cheng, is from western Sichuan. He also likes to go fishing. We got to know each other over time. I often come to his shop with Luo Cheng to eat fish. I especially love his pickled fish and sliced ​​fish, which have won over my taste buds. To be honest, almost all of my savings are spent on this shop. Don't follow my bad example."

Sitting to Mo Zhen's left, Tie Weimin laughed and said, "Wow, Director Mo's skill in hiding his secret stash of money is quite impressive. He even comes here every few days to get his money checked. All of you young men here can ask Director Mo for advice on how to hide your secret stash of money more safely!"
