Lu Qingyan smiled and said, "You know my background, so I should learn more so that people won't look down on me."
"The Ruan family—will you go back?" Li Yan asked hesitantly. To be honest, she hoped that Ruan Yunmeng could return to the Ruan family. Although the Ruan family was declining day by day, even a starved camel is bigger than a horse. As a member of the Ruan family, Ruan Yunmeng had helped the family a lot over the years, and she deserved her share.
Lu Qingyan couldn't possibly be unaware of her intentions, but she didn't value these material possessions much. Even this world is an illusion; what else is real?
"Let's go, or Director Du will start complaining if we keep him waiting any longer." Lu Qingyan packed up the book, grabbed her small bag, and went out the door.
She habitually took out her phone to let someone know, only to sadly discover that she didn't even know Ye Mu's phone number.
"Come on, everyone, tell me what you want to eat, so I don't take you to a place where none of you are used to it and don't want to eat it." Director Du puffed out his big belly, very generously: "You all did a good job this time, and there's still a lot of investment for this show. I'm willing to go to even the most expensive places!"
"Director Du, I wouldn't dare say that. What if I eat you out of house and home? Who will hire us for movies next time?" Xu Wanran chimed in from the side, making Lu Qingyan turn around and look at her several times.
The same words can have different meanings when spoken by different people. If Xu Wanran had said that, it would have been a bit awkward if Lu Qingyan or another senior had said it, but when a young girl like Xu Wanran said it, it made people feel cute.
Director Du cleared his throat: "Since none of you are saying anything, I'll take you to the seafood feast on the fifth floor of Zuixianlou. They have a wide variety of dishes, and the taste is quite good. Although it's a bit pricey, it'll be enough for everyone to have something they like."
"Okay!" Xu Wanran's joy was written all over her face, making people guess that her round appearance must mean she was a glutton.
Fan Jing said, "I'm not familiar with this area, but if Director Du recommends it, it must have its merits. I'll definitely go and try it."
Director Du's gaze fell on Lu Qingyan, who nodded in agreement: "Great! I also like to eat fish, shrimp, shellfish, and the like."
After reaching a consensus, twenty or thirty people set off in seven or eight cars in a grand procession.
Lu Qingyan sat in the car watching the pedestrians outside the window, feeling that their every move was so standardized, as if it had been measured. Their expressions were blank, and nothing could make them stop.
Lu Qingyan felt a chill run down her spine.
Zuixianlou is quite far from the film and television base; Director Du and his entourage drove for more than two hours to get there. Although it is located in a sparsely populated area, it is decorated in a very grand style.
Director Du was probably a regular at this restaurant, because as soon as he arrived, the person at the door greeted him: "Teacher Du is here again, and with so many people. Which floor are you planning to eat on, and what do you want to eat?"
Director Du patted the table: "Fifth floor, let them order what they want to eat, so they won't say that I, this old man, am abusing them."
"I think the food on our set is the best, Mr. Du, you can't belittle yourself!" Xu Wanran said coquettishly, making Director Du laugh out loud.
Everyone else went to order food, but Su Qin silently followed Xu Wan behind, saying, "Who is Ruan Yunmeng? You actually want to be her little follower? Aren't you afraid of losing face?"
