Chapter 369: Chapter 369: Spicy Strips for Fifty Cents! Everyone, “…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Snacks?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It makes sense to provide meals, and it makes sense to pay, but why provide snacks?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Fang Lilin, who was usually so strict, couldn’t help but twitch at the corner of his eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Provide snacks?” He doubted his own ears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With her fairy-like demeanor, she really didn’t seem to fit with something as down-to-earth as snacks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Weibao nodded earnestly, “Yeah, during filming, our crew provides meals, at least four dishes and a soup, including chicken, duck, fish, and meat, and we’re also paid an acting fee.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During breaks, we have snacks like spicy strips, chicken feet, potato chips, and sunflower seeds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Oh right, and they let us play games too. Do you have that?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her face was serious, but inside she was constantly complaining. Like hell there’s chicken, duck, fish, and meat!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Director Xu Jiayang, that stingy guy, we haven’t seen a single piece of meat in the canteen food for several months, not even a sliver!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And don’t even think about snacks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They’re too expensive, he wouldn’t dream of buying them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And games, every time he saw her playing King of Glory, he’d react as if she had slaughtered his entire family, shouting and raging at her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her Majesty the Empress swallowed hard; the food in the military camp was too awful, she really wanted some meat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And it had been so long since she had snacks, she was so craving for spicy strips she nearly gnawed on the bed in her dreams!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had to take advantage of this opportunity to mooch a bit!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To treat herself better.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that no one had responded for a long time, Her Majesty the Empress felt that her requests might have been too much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So she cleared her throat, “Well… it’s okay not to provide meals, and if funds are tight, you don’t have to pay me either, but snacks are a must, preferably spicy strips, the kind that costs 0.5 yuan per pack, they’re not expensive.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone, “…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meng Hai and Zhao Wen hugged their heads and wept bitterly. Ah, the goddess, such an ethereal being, actually eats spicy strips that cost 0.5 yuan a pack, it’s just too image-destroying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Include everything, all of it.” Fang Lilin came to his senses, his smile warm and gentle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He used to think she was like a goddess, unapproachable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now he realized that she too had a human side, very endearing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally getting to have snacks, Her Majesty the Empress was very happy, “Alright then, what do you want me to act in?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“As my girlfriend.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoosh whoosh whoosh—As soon as Fang Lilin finished speaking, everyone’s eyes fell on him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Act as his girlfriend?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wasn’t she supposed to act with Jiang Liang?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Liang was also completely bewildered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Xia Weibao and Fang Lilin were to act together, how would he scheme against her then?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Commander, everyone in the Du Yin gang knows you, if you go…” Jiang Liang said hesitantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The others chimed in agreeably, yeah, Fang Lilin had been after Du Yin for so long, they were practically archenemies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment he showed up, everyone would probably scatter, so how would they gather any intelligence on the enemy?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Lilin’s face showed slight embarrassment, “Act as a couple with Commander Jiang.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Weibao replied listlessly, somewhat disdainfully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What could she do when Her Majesty was a member of the association that judged by appearances? Although Jiang Liang was also quite a looker by military standards, compared to Lu Hualiang… Well, there was no comparison.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To stay in touch more conveniently, Fang Lilin returned Xia Weibao’s phone to her and installed a bugging device.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It would be removed after the mission was over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Weibao was overjoyed to have her phone back—now she could play King of Glory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as she turned on the device, she received a text from Lu Hualiang, “Honey, I’m going on a business trip to M country for half a month. Take care of yourself.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for why Director Lu suddenly had to go on a trip, it was because he feared he wouldn’t be able to stop himself from climbing into bed with her every night, potentially upsetting Xia Weibao, so he decided to leave for a while.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anyway, since Fang Lilin had been transferred away, he wasn’t worried about those two meeting privately.\u003C\u002Fp>",744,"2026-06-06T16:21:59.441Z",1,"novelbin.me","c8c0d79a1938cc3a25a3e4684f3dae830fb9a988ec404d3a6fff86fc9aa65bc6","plagued-by-bad-reviews-but-the-top-actress-chapter-36","plagued-by-bad-reviews-but-the-top-actress-chapter-35",1766,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fplagued-by-bad-reviews-but-the-top-actress-cover.jpg"]
