Chapter 85 Who gave the extra meal?
After being discharged from the hospital, Ruan Qi did not go home.
It was already the end of July, with only two months until the release of "Blade" on October 1st. The crew had to complete filming, editing, review, publicity, and other tasks within those two months, so the timeline was incredibly tight. So, after leaving the hospital, Ruan Qi went straight back to the crew.
In the crew, except for director Jian Guoqiang and fellow student Wei Jiaming, no one else knew that Ruan Qi was in the hospital. They were all startled to see the little girl who had suddenly returned.
"Xiao Qi, where did you go to lose weight? How come you have lost so much weight in just four or five days?" The second female lead Su Ai said as she stretched out her claws and touched the little girl's face.
She tutted twice. "Other people's faces are just one palm, but yours is only half a palm. If you get any thinner, you'll be blown away by the wind."
Zhan Rong on the side agreed with Su Ai's words.
He looked at the girl, who was almost as thin as a pole, with concern and asked, "Xiao Qi, is there something wrong with your body?"
"No." Ruan Qi shook her head softly, and rescued her face from Su Ai's lustful claws. "Something happened at home these two days, and I'm a little tired. I'm in good health, brother Zhan Rong, don't worry."
Zhan Rong saw that although the little girl was frighteningly thin, she was in good spirits, and his worries gradually dissipated.
He looked at her and gently advised: "As long as you are fine, it's good. You are too thin. Eat more these days to make up for it. Otherwise, the workload will be too heavy for you to handle."
The little girl nodded obediently and was about to speak when the stage manager's loud voice suddenly resounded throughout the set.
"Snack, snack! Morning tea and snack!"
Everyone in the busy crew looked confused.
"Morning tea?" Su Ai scratched her head in confusion. "When did our crew get this benefit?"
Besides, it had only been less than two hours since they had finished breakfast, right?
Everyone was confused and turned to look at the production manager standing at the door of the set.
The production manager, carrying a large megaphone, staggered in wearing a short-sleeved shirt, large shorts, and flip-flops. Behind him followed two large food trucks.
When Su Ai saw two waiter-looking men pushing a food cart, she couldn't help but exclaim "Oh shit!"
"That person is wearing the uniform of the Imperial Kitchen staff!"
Yushanzhai, a well-known private restaurant in the capital, is renowned for its exquisite cuisine, delicious taste, and high price.
It is said that the owner of Yushanzhai was an imperial chef in the palace. The dishes made with the recipes handed down from their ancestors are so delicious that they will make you swallow your tongue.
However, not everyone can enjoy such exquisite dishes.
First of all, it is very expensive and most people cannot afford it.
Secondly, even if you can afford the price, you may not be able to book a table.
Yushanzhai has three floors but only six tables. They're also quite stubborn and refuse to offer takeout. This has led to a wave of foodies queuing up for over six months just to get a taste of Yushanzhai.
And such a delicious, difficult to order, and expensive delicacy that may not be affordable actually appeared in the crew at this time.
The set suddenly became noisy and chaotic.
"Take Imperial Kitchen as your morning tea? Are our crew getting carried away?"
"Director Jian, who's known for splitting a dollar tenfold, actually paid for us to eat the Imperial Vegetarian Restaurant?! Is he motivated to perish with us?"
"Are you sure it was Director Jian who treated us to dinner? Didn't the producer get into a fight with him?"
"Who else could it be if not Director Jian? Who in our crew is capable of having Yushanzhai deliver food?"
The whispers grew louder and louder until—
The two waiters from the Imperial Kitchen pushed the dining cart slowly to Ruan Qi and stopped.
－－－－－－Digression－－－－－－
This week after the explosive update, I've been running to the hospital for checkups. The epidemic in Shenyang has flared up again, and every visit to the outpatient clinic requires a nucleic acid test report. It's so arduous to get each checkup done. I've been waiting a whole day, and it took me a week to finish all the checkups.
Finally I don’t have to get up early to go to the hospital tomorrow, so I can sleep in and then resume updating.
Finally, the nucleic acid test is really harsh. They press the tongue base firmly with a tongue depressor while a large cotton swab is poked in. As the doctor pokes, I vomit. I'm so scared of vomiting in front of her. [Bitter]
