That night, Shen Fang really ripped Huang Xiaoming off. When it came time to pay the bill, Huang Xiaoming was practically choking on his food.
The meal cost over 50,000 yuan, which is about the same as Huang Xiaoming's current salary for a leading role in one episode. The Condor Heroes series has 42 episodes, and that alone cost him a tenth of his salary.
"Mr. Shen, that was a really harsh beating you gave him."
Liu Tianxian, who was standing to the side, laughed so hard she covered her stomach.
Shen Fang smiled and said, "Consider it tuition. To be honest, other people's food tastes better when they pay for it. Waiter, pack me two more abalone rice dishes for a late-night snack. Xiao Kun, what else would you like to order?"
Huang Xiaoming, standing to the side, was dumbfounded: "Brother Kun, please go easy on me!!!"
Shen Kun laughed loudly: "Waiter, bring me four more servings, grilled fish with rice!!! And a grilled chicken too."
Huang Xiaoming... had no choice but to pay the bill again.
Shen Fang hummed a little tune and took Liu Qianqian's hand as they returned to the hotel.
"How can your boss be like this? He eats so much!" Qin Lan felt a little sorry for her boyfriend. It wasn't like he hadn't eaten good food before, but this was just too much. She was worried about his wallet.
Huang Xiaoming smiled and said, "Even if it costs 100,000, let alone 50,000, I'd still be happy. You don't understand. It's because the boss is close to me. Who is he? He's a legend in Shenzhen's internet circle, a super tycoon in the media circle, and a stock market god in the financial circle. Being close to him means I'll get a lot of benefits in the future. You don't understand."
Qin Lan pouted, "I don't understand, I'm just worried about it. You don't earn money easily, and your salary is only so much."
Huang Xiaoming patted Qin Lan's hair: "This money was well spent. There are only a few male artists in our company right now. Huang Bo and President Shen are classmates, Pan Yueming is appreciated by President Shen, and the rest are all seniors. If I want to become the number one artist in Longteng, I have to get along well with the boss. And more importantly, if I hang out with the big boss, I can get a lot of money from him and enjoy it endlessly."
"Lanlan, although joining Longteng gives you a high starting point, you don't have any strengths. There's a big difference between the male and female artists at Longteng. The female artists at Longteng are just too beautiful. Li Xiaoran, Gwei Lun-mei, Xu Qing, Zeng Li, Gao Yuanyuan, Li Caihua, Yan Danchen, they're all stunningly beautiful. If you want to make a name for yourself there, you need to get on good terms with Sister Hong. Otherwise, it will be very difficult for you to succeed."
"Am I not pretty?" Qin Lan retorted defiantly!
Huang Xiaoming.....
"You're pretty, I'm not saying you're not pretty, but it depends on who you're compared to. Don't be upset if I say this, you'll know when you get there. In terms of looks, Lanlan, you might be ranked last, oh wait, there's also Hailu."
"By the way, aren't you going home tonight?" Huang Xiaoming changed the subject. He couldn't very well lie and say that his girlfriend was the prettiest.
"You don't want me to stay with you?" Qin Lan asked, looking unhappy.
"I'd like to, but as you saw today, there were so many people around. There were definitely paparazzi outside the hotel, and if they took pictures, it wouldn't be good for anyone."
Qin Lan looked aggrieved upon hearing this: "Because of you, I ran away from the film set without even saying goodbye, and you didn't even stay with me."
Huang Xiaoming...
"Okay, sweetie, once you join the company, we'll have plenty of time to spend together. I'm just worried you'll get tired of it."
........
"Do you want 9, 10, J, Q, and K?" Shen Fang looked at Shen Kun and Liu Qianqian triumphantly.
Liu Qianqian looked at the cards in Shen Fang's hand: "Brother Shen Fang, how many cards do you have left?"
Chen Fang gathered his cards together, flashing his bright white teeth: "The card table is like a battlefield; there's no room for kinship!!! I'm not telling you!!!"
"Hmph! No!!!" Liu Qianqian glared angrily at Shen Kun.
Shen Kun waved his hand: "I don't have any licenses to manage this, so I don't want it."
Chen Fang chuckled, "Three with one, I'm done for!!!"
"Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah!!!!" Liu Qianqian pounded her pillow in anger. She still had bombs in her hand that she could control, and she hadn't used them yet! She was thinking that Shen Fang couldn't run away all at once.
Shen Fang chuckled and stuck notes on Liu Qianqian and Shen Kun's faces.
"Knock knock knock." The door rang.
Shen Fang got up and opened the door.
"Xiao Ming, what brings you here?"
Huang Xiaoming picked up the barbecue and beer in his hand.
"I'm bringing you some late-night snacks."
"Wow, quite a few. Come in quickly. Sisi, Xiaokun, stop playing for a bit. Let's have a midnight snack."
When Huang Xiaoming entered the room, he saw that Liu Qianqian and Shen Kun had white paper strips stuck to their faces.
"Wow, looks like they lost pretty badly."
Shen Kun took the barbecue from Xiao Ming and quickly plated it.
The aroma of barbecue made Liu Qianqian's mouth water, but if her mother found out she was eating barbecue so late at night, she would definitely get a scolding.
Shen Fang couldn't help but laugh as he watched Liu Qianqian's craving-filled little face, wanting to eat but not daring to.
"Want some?"
Liu Qianqian nodded like a chick pecking at rice. Her daily meals were arranged by Liu Xiaoli, and they were mostly bland and watery. Without Chen Fang, she lived a miserable life every day.
Of course, these were the hard times in her eyes. At first, Liu Xiaoli would stew nourishing soup for her every day, which took a lot of effort.
"Go and call Aunt Liu over so we can eat together."
"I'm too scared, you come with me." Liu Qianqian indicated that she was a coward.
Chen Fang smiled, took Liu Qianqian's little hand and led her to Liu Xiaoli's room. He knocked on the door and saw Liu Xiaoli wearing pajamas, applying a face mask and stewing soup.
"It's over so quickly? You've come at the perfect time, I just finished making the soup."
Goodness, looking at the electric induction cooker in the living room making soup, Shen Fang really wanted to give his future mother-in-law a thumbs up.
Liu Qianqian tugged at Chen Fang's sleeve, her meaning clear: "Hurry up and say, the barbecue won't taste good if it gets cold."
"Aunt Liu, Xiaoming bought some barbecue. Qianqian wants to eat some, but she's too shy to tell you, so she dragged me here to find you."
Liu Qianqian stared at Chen Fang in disbelief. "No way...you betrayed me?! Ah!!!"
Shen Fang chuckled; he was a scoundrel.
Upon hearing this, Liu Xiaoli glanced at Liu Qianqian and said, "Qianqian, are you greedy? Has Mom not let you eat well every day?"
Liu Qianqian lowered her head and whispered, "Mom, I haven't eaten in a long time. Brother Chen Fang is a bad guy. He bullies me."
Shen Fang patted Liu Qianqian's little head: "Aunt Liu, it's okay to indulge once in a while. It's not like you eat it every day."
Liu Xiaoli rolled her eyes at Liu Qianqian: "Eat less, go on."
Upon hearing this, Liu Qianqian jumped up happily, rushed to Liu Xiaoli, hugged her mother's face and kissed her twice: "Thank you, Mom."
Liu Xiaoli pushed Liu Qianqian away: "I just put on a face mask."
Shen Fang smiled at the mother and daughter: "Aunt Liu, would you like to eat something with us?"
Liu Xiaoli shook her head: "I can't eat it. I'm getting old. If I eat a late-night snack, I'll have to diet for a long time. It's too sinful."
Shen Fang looked at Liu Xiaoli, whose figure was outstanding, with a perfect figure that could be described as having a prominent bust and a curvy bottom.
"Aunt Liu, your figure is better than any 20-year-old girl. It's just too perfect. You won't have any trouble eating it."
