All night long, Xiao Yunli tried to sneak Yun Nuan some spicy barbecue, but Qin Yan just sat firmly next to her, making it impossible for him to give her any extra food.
Finally, with no other option, he finished all the barbecue under Yun Nuan's mournful gaze.
Jiang Ya originally wanted to take this opportunity to contact Qin Yan, but her family called her back home that evening. Reluctantly, she had no choice but to leave the resort.
------------------------
The next afternoon, Yun Nuan finally met Jiang Miao. The two arranged to meet at a very private teahouse. When Jiang Miao entered the teahouse, she was wearing large black sunglasses and a mask, and then a fisherman's hat that didn't reveal a single hair.
Yun Nuan looked at her large entourage, then glanced behind her and asked...
"Won't you become even more conspicuous like this?"
Jiang Miao pulled down her mask, smiled nonchalantly, and said...
"Some people cover up because they don't wear makeup, while others don't want their expressions captured. You never know what you'll look like in someone else's camera lens."
Some people want to attract attention and tell others that they are celebrities, so they dress differently from ordinary people to show themselves.
"I wasn't wearing makeup, and I'm not very good at managing my facial expressions, so I had to wear one," she said casually, then plopped down and took a sip of hot tea.
After letting out a comfortable sigh, she began to tell Yun Nuan about her recent filming routine. It was really tiring, with her staying up late every night and having her days and nights reversed.
It's truly joyful to come along. Working together on a project, participating in other people's lives, and experiencing the charm of these individuals always brings them a unique kind of happiness.
Yun Nuan clapped for her. She had been watching their drama, though they had now moved on to acting in movies. The movie had just finished filming and hadn't been released yet, otherwise Yun Nuan would have gone to support it immediately.
After the two had finished chatting, Jiang Miao hesitated for a while before asking Yun Nuan, who was staring blankly across from her.
"Nuan Nuan, have you ever thought about making money?"
Yun Nuan was drawn back to her senses by her voice, and asked with a puzzled look in her eyes.
"What?"
Jiang Miao rubbed her hands together and began to state her purpose.
"A variety show recently approached me, and I think it's pretty good. However, the show requires me to bring a good friend to participate, and after thinking about it, I think you could give it a try."
The show's production team is excellent, and the pay is quite high. I know you're not short of money, but how about we secretly save some up as our own little stash?
Her words reminded Yun Nuan that it seemed every penny she spent since arriving here belonged to Qin Yan, from major expenses like food, clothing, and shelter to minor things like buying a cup of milk tea.
Even her tuition was paid by Qin Yan; it seems she really has no money.
She looked at Jiang Miao blankly, then suddenly spoke after realizing what was happening.
"Miaomiao, I'm so poor!"
Jiang Miao was just joking; Yun Nuan was definitely rich, and surely Boss Qin would give her money. But what she really didn't expect was that Yun Nuan herself reflected on her own wallet—she had no money!
"Didn't Boss Qin give you any money? He actually didn't give you any money!"
Yun Nuan knew she had misunderstood and quickly explained, "No, no, all his cards are with me. Don't worry, but these cards all belong to Qin Yan. If I want to secretly eat hot pot sometime and use his card, he will probably receive a notification."
Jiang Miao put herself in Qin's shoes and thought that his action was quite correct, because everyone knew that if Yun Nuan was allowed to use the money to buy food, they might end up meeting in the hospital again in the next second.
Her heart improved after the surgery, but her stomach remained extremely fragile, which couldn't be fixed by surgery and required careful recuperation.
Jiang Miao replied awkwardly, "That is indeed not very convenient."
She was a little unsure if her suggestion was correct, but Yun Nuan asked her curiously.
"Is recording TV shows fun? Is it lucrative?"
Jiang Miao: "Of course there's a lot of money, but I'm worried you won't be able to handle it. So you've agreed?"
Yun Nuan sipped her hot water and murmured, "I do need some money. Qin Yan's birthday is coming up soon. If I want to surprise him, I have to buy him a gift secretly without letting him find out. Miao Miao, I'm so poor."
I didn't have a hundred yuan on me when I left the sanatorium; I've been spending Qin Yan's money. Although I'll repay him when I get a job, I don't know if Qin Yan can wait.
The original owner was also poor, and she didn't know where the shares supposedly left by Ms. Lin Yuyan were. Besides, those were left to her by her mother, so she should keep them and burn them for them later.
This was the first time she had faced the reality of how poor she was; she was practically laughing at her own poverty.
"But I still have to go to school, Miaomiao, this money is hard to earn," Yun Nuan wailed, already immersed in the thought that she was very, very poor.
She remembered the hundred yuan she had with her when she left the sanatorium, and the stinky tofu, milk tea, barbecue, wolf tooth potatoes, and spicy stew she hadn't been able to eat.
That hundred yuan was borrowed, and she didn't even get to eat a single bite. After the surgery, she could eat hot pot, but it was always tomato or clear broth.
She's never had a spicy hot pot before, and last night's barbecue was as bland as it gets.
“We’re filming on the weekend, and you don’t have classes on the weekend, so the timing is perfect.”
She hadn't expected the production team to be so considerate. After hesitating for a moment, she nodded, "Miaomiao, I'll go!"
Jiang Miaoke hadn't expected her to agree so quickly, because this was quite a big deal. She planned to talk to Nuannuan first, and then discuss it with Boss Qin later.
Jiang Miao hesitated for a moment before asking, "Aren't you going to discuss this with Boss Qin? What if he doesn't agree?"
Yun Nuan looked at her with disapproval.
"Miaomiao, what are we doing? We're making money! We girls should control our own finances, right? Don't worry, Qin Yan won't refuse."
If he doesn't agree to give me the silent treatment, then it's good for him to stay home and calm down. I'll go record an episode first and see.
By the time he gets back, he'll definitely have calmed down.
The thought of making money filled her with ambition. With money, she could buy gifts for Qin Yan and create surprises for him. More importantly, she needed to have money, whether it was useful or not.
Jiang Miao couldn't keep up with her train of thought or respond to what she was saying. So she simply smiled and turned to talk about other things.
When Qin Yan called, Jiang Miao's idea of taking people out to dinner was abandoned.
"The director will contact me later, and I'll invite you. It should start next week."
