Chapter 2772 2784 [Vodka Passing By]
The security guard who originally wanted to forcibly pull the person away to avoid affecting the customers' dining in the restaurant whispered: "Because it does not comply with the regulations..."
"What rules?" Suzuki Sonoko was also a little angry, "Are you guys using fake lottery tickets to engage in false advertising?"
"Of course not." At this point, the receptionist could only glare at the useless security guard, and then whispered to the curious eyes of other guests, "Please look carefully at the lottery ticket. It says on it, 'Not valid on Sundays and holidays.'"
“…”
Mao Lilan took the free coupon and squinted her eyes to look at it carefully despite a slight dizziness. Only then did she realize that under the fancy store name, there were indeed a few lines of tiny characters that were invisible unless you looked carefully -
[Note: This coupon cannot be used on Sundays and holidays
If the restaurant is full at other times, we may refuse your meal at our discretion. ]
“…”
Mao Lilan silently put down her fist.
It’s true that they didn’t look carefully, but for some reason… I seemed to be even angrier.
The receptionist smiled and said, "Would you like to continue eating? If you don't mind, you can pay for it yourself."
Suzuki Sonoko: “…” She really wanted to wave her hands and shout “I’ll take over this store today!”, but she also felt like she was being taken advantage of... She touched her chin and was briefly conflicted.
At this moment, a figure suddenly appeared next to him.
A middle-aged fat man with a big smile on his face came over and rubbed his hands together: "If you don't mind, come and share the table with us - uncle's treat!"
Conan: “?” What do you want to do?
He was on alert when he suddenly noticed that the middle-aged fat man's gaze fell on Jiang Xia, who was sitting with his back to the dining table.
The next moment, the middle-aged man's eyes lit up even more. He took the menu from the front desk, turned around and put it in front of Jiang Xia and Mao Lilan, and said enthusiastically: "Just order whatever you want! Let's just consider it as making friends."
Conan: “……?”
In the private room on the second floor, Vodka was about to go downstairs after finishing his meal: “……?”
After a moment of silence, an organizational cadre silently retreated into the shadows.
"Why are those two guys here?! I'm just passing by to have a meal!" Hiding back in the room, Vodka clenched his fists in regret, "I should have bought a lunch box to eat in the car... Brother Gin is the wisest. Even though I'm not with him now, I should maintain his fine tradition and not let down my guard!"
However, it is too late to write a self-criticism now.
Vodka moved a stool to the door, quietly keeping an eye on what was happening downstairs, ready to find a chance to run away at any time.
However, when he stood on the stool and looked out through the crack in the door, he saw Jiang Xia sitting right in front of him downstairs. He could catch a glimpse of his door across the patio just by raising his eyes.
Vodka: “…”
He closed the door weakly, wiped the shoe prints off the stool, and sat down.
…
The joys and sorrows of different people are not the same.
Several high school students were already seated at the round table on the first floor, and they understood why the middle-aged man at the same table came over.
"You need a female lead?" Mao Lilan was incredulous. She clapped her fingers and pointed at herself to confirm, "Me?"
The chubby producer nodded repeatedly: "I hope you can consider it. Our production team is very luxurious. Once this movie is successfully released, it will immediately become a hit, and you will immediately become a star. From then on, your life will change and you will no longer have to deal with those boring textbooks!"
"!" Mao Lilan felt the heavy weight of the knowledge in the bag and her heart was moved.
The producer quickly continued: "Imagine that those actors, hosts, and sports stars who used to be far away will soon become your friends. You no longer have to stare at them through the screen, but can interact with them in real life and get as many autographs as you want!"
"Sports star?" Conan quickly sided with the producer, "Sister Xiaolan, go and give it a try!"
"It sounds great!" Suzuki Sonoko was also moved. She patted Mao Lilan on the shoulder and said, "Just go ahead and act. Leave the fame to me! I've wanted to try being a celebrity agent for a long time."
Seeing this, the other three middle-aged men at the table couldn't help but give a subtle reminder.
The assistant director looked up at the sky and said, "If you want to act, you have to be mentally prepared."
The screenwriter played with his chopsticks. "Yes, this movie is good in every way. The only drawback is that there is a producer who values money above all else. In order to make it popular, he inserted several intimate scenes into my clean script."
"?!" Mao Lilan's face flushed, "Intimate scene?"
"..." Conan changed sides in an instant, "Sister Xiaolan, forget it. This kind of commercial movie is not suitable for you."
When the producer saw the duck in his mouth was about to fly away, he quickly said, "Don't listen to their nonsense, it's not that exaggerated!"
"Yes, the intimate scenes are just a small matter." The director did not give the producer face, "Compared to this, we should be more worried about whether someone will lose their life during the filming."
The producer laughed awkwardly, his face trembling with fat. "You guys, why are you scaring a child? Trust my judgment. If this lady were to act, she would definitely be a rock... a person with unlimited future."
Mao Lilan didn't expect him to give such a high evaluation, and waved her hands to deny it. There were four stools next to the round table, which was already more crowded than normal. When she moved the stools, she happened to knock over the bowl at hand, and the warm porridge bowl was overturned, splashing a piece of porridge on the fat producer's pants.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" Mao Lilan was shocked, "I didn't mean it."
The producer was busy recruiting, so he didn't care about these things. He wiped them with a towel and said, "It's no big deal. Let's eat first. Waiter, bring me another pair of chopsticks!"
Mao Lilan bent down to pick up the bowl of porridge on the ground, but when she bent down, she suddenly felt dizzy.
Conan glanced at her and realized something: "Sister Xiaolan, do you have a cold?"
Mao Lilan raised her hand and touched her forehead. She found that it was a little hot, but it was nothing to worry about. She shook her head and said, "No."
Conan said worriedly: "Don't hold on, if you faint suddenly like before..."
Jiang Xia coughed.
Conan: “!”
Vodka, who was leaning against the door trying to eavesdrop on their whispers, said: "!"
Mao Lilan felt dizzy and asked Conan: "What did you just say?"
Conan's forehead was covered with sweat: "I said... I said since you are not feeling well, let's go back."
"Oh, why are you going back?" The fat producer pulled Mao Lilan over, changed seats, and sat down on the other side of the round table. "That place is dirty, let's sit here and talk - just order whatever you want to eat, I'll pay for the meal!"
