Chapter 324

She was beginning to fall, little by little.

Until now, she hadn't believed in love at first sight.

But then Su Chen appeared.

And seemed to change her mind!

On top of that, her marriage to Feng Shaofeng had long been in name only.

It had been ages since a man had… tended to her.

Su Chen was a timely rain!

What's more, ever since Yang Mi was linked with Su Chen in a scandal,

her career had practically taken off like a rocket.

With Su Chen's help,

she had produced hit after hit of film and television.

A conservative estimate put her personal earnings from these productions at seven or eight hundred million.

Zhao Liying was green with envy.

Stick with Su Chen, and there's meat to eat!

No matter how she looked at it,

she had no reason to refuse Su Chen's "…massage."

"Then it's settled. Tonight, take a good bath…"

Zhao Liying clenched her small fist and made up her mind.

Never mind that this woman came from the countryside and wasn't well-educated.

She was a bit silly and adorably dim.

But she had managed to go from a country girl,

clawing her way up every step of the way, to become the queen of the TV drama scene.

Her will was tough, and she had plenty of guts.

Once she set her mind on something, she dared to do it and never looked back!

The guests played by the sea for a while.

When the tide receded, they began to comb the shallows.

They gathered quite a haul of seafood.

All sorts of fish, crabs, sea cucumbers — they had everything.

There was no worry about ingredients at all.

Seafood was in unlimited supply.

Huang Lei's role was set as the cook.

When it was (properly) time to cook,

he wasn't in any hurry to prep the ingredients.

Instead, he started digging a pit for Su Chen.

"Your cooking's so good — show them a trick or two today, why don't you?"

"I'll be your assistant and sneakily pick up some skills while I'm at it."

Su Chen saw right through him.

"I think Teacher Huang just wants to slack off, doesn't he?"

"You're a middle-aged man, fat, no stamina — I get it."

"But slacking off on cooking too? That's too much!"

Don't let Huang Lei's usual cheerful demeanor fool you.

He was, after all, a Beijing Film Academy teacher, with a proud streak in his bones.

Unlike He Jiong, who easily mixed with everyone,

very few juniors dared to joke around with him.

Even Zhang Yixing, Peng Peng, and little sister Zifeng were closer to Huang Lei than to He Jiong.

But they dared to joke about He Jiong,

while not daring to tease Huang Lei at all.

Only Su Chen could do this, and Huang Lei wouldn't get angry.

In fact, he wouldn't dare get angry!

Huang Lei rolled up his sleeves, eager for action.

"You brat — believe it or not, I'll box your ears?"

"Stop dawdling, get cooking."

"I not only save my energy, I get to steal some skills — that's a good deal."

"How about you stay on for the next few episodes?"

Su Chen nodded decisively.

"No problem, but Teacher Huang has to give me 80% of the appearance fee."

Huang Lei shot back: "Get lost! No money to give — take my life if you want."
