Xu Yao felt a sudden alarm bell ring in her heart and subconsciously tightened her grip on Zhou Yang's arm.
She mentally screamed: Here we go again?! Is this woman some kind of vixen?! All she does is seduce people!
But in her heart, she also hated herself for not having the courage to seduce Zhou Yang.
If she had the guts, coupled with her beautiful appearance and considerate personality, winning over Zhou Yang wouldn't be too difficult.
But she was too shy to make a move, and now she was just friends with Zhou Yang, so she could only watch helplessly as he was seduced by other women.
However, Zhou Yang seemed completely immune to the breathtakingly beautiful scenery before him.
He didn't even bother to look at Gu Huaiyue again, but simply lowered his head, his fingertips once again caressing the warm, smooth surface of the cup.
He smiled lazily, "So the filial piety of the granddaughter of the president of the Jindu Antique Association and the chief appraiser of Tianjin Auction House is only worth a two million discount?"
He raised his eyelids and glanced at Gu Huaiyue with a half-smile: "Ten million, take it or leave it."
"I'm not waiting for money to pay for food. This cup will only become more and more valuable if I keep it."
The implication is that if you don't buy it, plenty of people will be eager to take it.
I'm not short of money, and I don't care about your "face".
"you--!"
Gu Huaiyue's beautiful face flushed red and then turned pale, a truly captivating sight.
She gritted her teeth, cursing Zhou Yang, this stubborn and unyielding guy, a thousand times over in her mind!
How awful! Absolutely awful!
If it weren't for the fact that genuine Song Dynasty Ge ware is so hard to find, and that a sunflower-shaped cup in such good condition is even rarer, she wouldn't know when she would find another birthday gift that would satisfy her grandfather.
She took a deep breath and slowly exhaled, as if trying to suppress the anger in her heart.
Forget it! You can't catch a wolf without risking your cub!
For the sake of Grandpa's birthday gift, I'll accept this loss today!
Gu Huaiyue raised her chin, trying to regain some of her previous arrogance, although there was still pain and resentment in her eyes.
"Fine! Ten million it is!"
She practically spat out those words through gritted teeth, "You win!"
She glared at Zhou Yang, as if trying to etch his image into her memory.
"Tomorrow morning at nine o'clock, Chenxin Pavilion Teahouse. I'll bring cash and checks, you bring your goods. Cash on delivery! Any problems?"
"Chenxin Pavilion? Is it your family's business?"
Zhou Yang raised an eyebrow.
Gu Huaiyue snorted irritably, "My grandfather drives it! It's safe!"
"Can."
Zhou Yang nodded in satisfaction, "See you tomorrow, Master Appraiser Gu."
Having received an affirmative answer, Gu Huaiyue, as if afraid that Zhou Yang would change his mind, turned around in her high heels and walked away in a hurry.
That figure, with a hint of panicked escape, also carried an undeniable... murderous aura?
Xu Yao breathed a long sigh of relief only after the dark green figure completely disappeared into the crowd, feeling as if she had fought a tough battle.
Zhou Yang glanced at his watch; it was already getting late.
"Let's go, Xu Yao."
He patted Xu Yao's small hand, which was still gripping his arm, and said, "It's almost time. It's time to report to the film set."
"Oh... okay."
Xu Yao responded, let go of his hand, and silently followed behind Zhou Yang towards the parking lot.
However, her little face was still puffed up, as if she was a little unhappy.
Sitting in the passenger seat of the Pagani sports car and fastening her seatbelt, Xu Yao looked at the street scenes rushing past the window, but her heart felt like a jumble of emotions, a mix of sweet, sour, bitter, spicy, and salty all rushing up at once.
What's going on...?
It seems like all sorts of beautiful women always appear around Zhou Yang.
They are all so beautiful, with amazing figures, and most importantly, they are all so rich and well-connected!
Then look at yourself...
Although Zhou Yang treats me very well, it seems that apart from being younger and having a decent face, I am inferior to them in every other aspect!
What if... what if they take Zhou Yang away from him someday?
The more Xu Yao thought about it, the more panicked she felt, and a strong sense of crisis welled up in her heart.
No! Absolutely not!
She clenched her little fist so tightly that her nails almost dug into her palm.
Zhou Yang is such a good person, she doesn't want him to be taken away by someone else!
We still need to make money.
If the response is good after this movie is finished filming, she will continue to act in it!
She also needs to buy more professional equipment for voice acting and practice hard!
He excels at both acting and voice acting!
She wants to work hard, become stronger, and make a lot of money!
She wanted to become the woman who could stand openly beside Zhou Yang, a woman no one could take away from him!
Xu Yao made up her mind, and her fighting spirit rekindled in her eyes.
...
The sports car smoothly drove into the film and television base.
Meanwhile, the production team is currently filming "Hilarious Daily Life in the Palace".
Lin Chuan sat behind the monitor, his brows furrowed, occasionally picking up the walkie-talkie and shouting a few words.
Zhou Yang parked the car and took Xu Yao to the temporary kitchen of the film crew.
The kitchen contains all the ginger, garlic, scallions, various vegetables, as well as large pieces of pork belly, ribs, diced chicken, and so on.
They have all been sorted, cleaned, and neatly arranged on the cutting board and the shelf next to it.
"Brother Zhou Yang, Sister Xu Yao, you're here! All the ingredients are ready, do you think we can start cooking now..."
A young man in charge of kitchen logistics saw them and immediately greeted them with a smile.
"Thanks for your hard work."
It costs five thousand to cook a meal.
Zhou Yang nodded, took off his coat, tied on an apron, and got right to work.
Turn on the heat, pour in the oil, heat the pan, add the ingredients, stir-fry, toss the pan...
The series of movements were fluid and graceful, full of power and beauty.
Flames roared, smoke billowed, and the rich aroma of meat and seasonings seemed to sprout wings, instantly filling the entire kitchen.
And it drifted recklessly towards the filming location outside.
Zhou Yang single-handedly managed four large woks, operating them simultaneously, yet he showed no signs of being overwhelmed.
In less than half an hour, stir-fried pork, sweet and sour pork ribs, spicy chicken cubes, and Mapo tofu were served.
Four fragrant and colorful dishes were freshly cooked!
The portion was generous, enough to feed and drink the entire crew of dozens of people.
Done!
Zhou Yang took off his apron, and a support staff member came forward to serve him the meals.
He then went to the temporary dressing room next door, changed into the imperial chef costume prepared for him by the crew, and began to put on makeup.
Meanwhile, Lin Chuan and the others who were filming outside had already been aroused by the overpowering fragrance and were restless.
Especially for the young actors, their stomachs were already growling with hunger, and the smell was torture!
"Click!"
Lin Chuan finally called a stop, and this take was finally completed.
He rubbed his temples, and was about to say he was going to take a break when he heard a cheer outside.
"Dinner's ready! The dishes made by Boss Zhou are here!"
"Holy crap! What's that smell?! It smells amazing!"
"I'm starving! Give me a bowl!"
Lin Chuan: "..."
Okay, he doesn't need to tell me to rest.
