She knew perfectly well that Pear Soft and Cute was a real catch!
Now that she's willing to give them such expensive gifts, doesn't she know the true value of the tea she has?
"What should we do? Should we remind her? It's better not to give away such expensive things so easily. I can buy them myself," Che Wenying said anxiously.
Xu Chansheng lifted his eyelids slightly, then suppressed the words he was about to say.
That woman was shrewd enough; how could she not know how valuable what she had brought out was?
She's not in business; how can selling tea be as effective as giving it away?
However, she is quite interesting. When filming wrapped up, she didn't prepare gifts for the crew of "Immortal Demon Tribulation" when she was the second female lead. But when filming "Spark", it is said that almost everyone in the crew received something she prepared.
In addition, most of the guests who participate in "Happy Saturday" will prepare gifts for Qin Wenliang.
Why do I say "most"? Well, that's related to their status.
Those who know, know.
Anyway, Xu Chansheng doesn't prepare gifts for anyone. It's more likely that the variety show that invites him to participate will prepare gifts for him, but whether he accepts them or not depends on whether he's happy or not.
Che Wenying then gave Qin Wenliang and another person gifts.
But the pears weren't included.
Others might say she's socially awkward or arrogant, but what's the truth?
She's popular, so weren't those two hosts all nice to her?
Che Wenying did give her a gift, but the two men's attitude towards her was lukewarm.
Shu Fenghua said to the waiter, "Bring one of each of your local specialties, and two servings of freshly squeezed juice. Ruanruan likes strawberry juice and watermelon juice, so just those two. Would you like some wine?"
Che Wenying declined, saying, "No, tea is fine."
She had made up her mind to drink this pot of tea until it was completely tasteless.
Mingdao had already added water to the teapot again. The third brew was not as strong, the tea soup was greenish, the tea leaves were unfurled, and it tasted less bitter and more sweet. Even after drinking the whole cup, there was still a lingering fragrance at the bottom of the cup.
When Li Ruan returned, the waiter had already placed the order. "That's all I have in my car, Sister Shu, you can divide it among yourselves."
The tea leaves are about four ounces, which is a little over one ounce per person.
The more precious something is, the less you should give away, otherwise people will treat it like a cheap cabbage.
Director Ming consciously refrained from joining the ranks of those sharing the spoils.
Hehe, the bag he's holding weighs at least two or three ounces, while his weighs the most!
After Shu Jie and the other two finished dividing the spoils, the waiter started serving the dishes. Li Ruan ate happily; the food at this restaurant was quite good. Director Ming then brought up the movie again, "Li Ruan, our movie is released on the 15th. Do you have time to participate in the roadshow? Your variety show has to be recorded every week."
"I'll try my best. Actually, with Sister Fenghua and Actor Xu here, it's okay if I'm not here."
Director Ming: ...This girl really knows how to talk. Couldn't she just say she didn't have time? She's not being sincere at all!
Shu Fenghua joked, "You brat, are you putting pressure on us directly? Anyone who didn't know better would think you were deliberately trying to flatter us to death."
Xu Chansheng didn't say anything, but he glanced at Li Ruan a few more times.
"How could that be? I clearly have confidence in your abilities!"
Director Ming thought the same thing. After all, Xu Chansheng was a guarantee of box office success, so he had nothing to worry about. "By the way, Chansheng, will you be taking on any more roles this year?"
Xu Chansheng shook his head, "The company was busy before the Lunar New Year. I'm already squeezing in time to shoot one film a year, so I guess I'll have to wait until next year to take on a new role."
The group then focused on eating, and Li Ruan noticed that both Shu Yinghou and Che Wenying were eating significantly more than they had on set.
After noticing her gaze, Shu Yinghou kindly explained, "I didn't eat much before because I was afraid of gaining weight. But now I have the diet pills you made, right? Besides, my current dosage is about the same as the average person's, not much higher. At least it's far lower than yours."
Li Ruan picked up a piece of pigeon meat and put it in her bowl, raising an eyebrow and smiling: "In this world, only good food and beautiful women are worth cherishing. I don't care about beautiful women, since there aren't many who are as beautiful as me anyway. Of course, I'll eat more good food."
A burst of laughter erupted from the private room, with Director Ming's voice being the loudest, "You really have no modesty at all!"
Li Ruan: ...I'm capable, so I don't need to be modest.
After a pleasant dinner, the group went downstairs together. Che Wenying was picked up by her driver, and Director Ming also left. Shu Fenghua took out several handbags from her car, all filled with products from the big brands she endorsed, including cosmetics, jewelry, and a beauty card.
"Thank you, Sister Fenghua. Sister Fenghua is so good to me!" Li Ruan said with a smile as she accepted the bag.
Shu Fenghua felt pleased to hear this, and rubbed her soft hair, saying with a smile, "It's good that you know. I'll save all the good things for you in the future."
Xu Chansheng also took the opportunity to take out a small box and hand it to Li Ruan, "You accepted Sister Shu's gift, so you won't refuse mine, will you?"
Li Ruan: "Oh, I thought that Actor Xu would never talk to me again, but I didn't expect to receive a gift from you. How could I not accept it?" After saying that, she took the box from his hand.
Anything that a top actor like Xu gives away is bound to be good; only a fool would refuse it.
"My father is not in good health. His only hobby in his life is drinking tea. Thank you for the tea today."
Li Ruan: "You're planning to give this to your father? It's only an ounce."
"I'd like to send more, but we don't have any, do we?"
Li Ruan: You bastard, how dare you try to outsmart me? All you want is more tea leaves, right?
I glanced at the box in my hand; it was a carved sandalwood box, so I knew the contents wouldn't be cheap.
"How much is too much?"
Xu Chansheng tentatively asked, "It should be at least a pound, right?"
Pear Soft: ...
Seeing that she didn't speak, Xu Chansheng quickly changed his words, "Even if it's not a pound or half a pound, it's fine."
"Since you're showing filial piety to your elders, I'll give you half a pound. That's all I have. This is all the tea I could get. Give me your address and I'll send it to you."
"No need, I'll come and get it myself if you're ready." Would he dare send something so valuable?
Li Ruan: "...Then, let's exchange contact information."
Xu Chansheng coughed. The lights outside the hotel were dim, and his reddened ears were barely noticeable unless you looked closely.
"I have your phone number. Just scan the QR code to add me as a friend."
Hey, when did this guy secretly add her number? He was acting all high and mighty on set, looking down on her like he owned the place! Ha! So this is the real Xu Yingdi!
"A phone number is enough; there's no need to add each other as friends."
Xu Chansheng quickly came up with a reason for not adding him as a friend: "I have no sense of direction, so having a location is more convenient."
After saying that, he turned to look at the road, turning back and forth without daring to look into Li Ruan's eyes.
