Chapter 705: China Entertainment Truth System (21)
Xie Yang's Bobo Chicken Task has reached its final stage at this moment.
However, everyone finds it strange; although they unanimously agree that the Bobo Chicken she makes is tastier than what is sold on the food street, and both actors and staff are happy to buy a portion to taste, isn't it tiring to eat Bobo Chicken every single day?
Xie Yang is also quite helpless, but fortunately, this Task is about to be completed.
On the last day of setting up her stall, besides Bobo Chicken, she also prepared a large portion of cold-pot skewers as a token of appreciation for the recognition and patronage from her colleagues in the production crew over this period.
The ingredients for the cold-pot skewers were taken from her own stockpile.
Not to mention the vegetables, meat, and eggs, even the Shrimp and squid were fresh and crisp, with a texture and freshness that completely outclassed the various skewers on the market.
"Xiao Xie, your skills are impressive! These cold-pot skewers are beyond reproach!"
"It was high time to change up the flavor!"
"Xiao Xie, the ingredients for these cold-pot skewers aren't cheap, right? I see the Shrimp are fresh, live-peeled meat, and the squid and beef are also very fresh. I'm afraid this pot has spent all the money you earned from the Bobo Chicken, hasn't it?"
"This is to give back to everyone, no charge," Xie Yang said with a smile.
"That won't do! You should charge us, otherwise we won't dare to eat our fill."
That's what they said, but once they started eating, they couldn't stop.
Everyone was grabbing skewers one after another, very enthusiastically.
Even those popular actors who were saying "I need to lose weight" or "I'll stop after one more skewer" were still chewing while their hands were already reaching out to grab the next one.
After finishing, they still suggested with lingering desire: "Xiao Xie, why don't you start selling cold-pot skewers tomorrow!"
Xie Yang: "..."
If these cold-pot skewers were sold at market price, she would lose a fortune.
"Nini, I've come to support your business!"
At this moment, Lou Yiling approached with Cheng Jiekun:
"Eh, why isn't it Bobo Chicken? It smells like cold-pot skewers. Is there any left? Give us a few skewers."
Xie Yang: "..."
You really have some nerve.
Although she was hoping for Lou Yiling to come and deliver her own downfall, she had no intention of letting her eat the Bobo Chicken she made.
She immediately put the pot away: "Sorry, there is none left."
"None left?"
Lou Yiling was actually a bit greedy; the soup base soaking the skewers smelled fresh and appetizing, and she saw someone holding a skewer of Shrimp, the meat translucent and looking quite good.
"Really none left? Don't lie to me, we are from the same hometown after all. Besides, I specifically brought the male lead of our crew, Brother Kun, to support you."
Xie Yang gave her a meaningful look: "Never mind that there isn't any left, even if there were, I wouldn't dare let you eat it. You didn't finish your facial surgery long ago, right? I suggest you eat something light and avoid heavy flavors like this."
"What nonsense are you spouting!"
Lou Yiling subconsciously wanted to retort, but what came out was—
"I already told you that plastic surgery is everywhere among celebrities now; the female lead in our crew has had more work done on her face than I have! I only had some hyaluronic acid filler after scar removal, that doesn't count as plastic surgery at all, okay!"
Xie Yang shrugged: "Oh, if you say it doesn't count, then it doesn't. By the way, didn't you tell your family about your plastic surgery? Then where did you get the money for the surgery? Isn't it supposed to be very expensive?"
"It is very expensive. Just a small scar-removal beauty procedure plus two hyaluronic acid injections in my cheeks cost me fifty thousand."
The truths in Lou Yiling's brain kept popping out uncontrollably:
"Why would I tell my family? Even if I did, they wouldn't give me money, so I might as well find a way myself. With this face of mine, hooking a rich second-generation sucker willing to help me pay off my online loans is a piece of cake..."
The more Lou Yiling spoke, the more desperate she became, wishing she could slap herself twice. Her cursed mouth! Why couldn't it stop! Ahhh!
Cheng Jiekun beside her looked at her in astonishment, thinking to himself, is this woman crazy? How dare she say such things in public?
It seems he should stay away from her in the future, otherwise, he wouldn't even know when he'd been sold out by her.
Cheng Jiekun secretly rejoiced that although he had thoughts of taking advantage of Lou Yiling, he hadn't put them into action yet, so he quickly slipped away.
As for Xie Meini... this little girl is beautiful, and she is his type, but she looks like she isn't someone to mess with; he'll think about it later. Anyway, as long as she is still in this circle, there will always be opportunities...
"Uh, something just came up at the crew, I'm heading back first."
【Host, Host, this guy isn't a good person either.】 The Sub-system suddenly said excitedly, 【Quickly expose him!】
"..."
Xie Yang had the illusion that she was working for the China Entertainment Truth System.
But in the end, she still spent some Truth Duration to make Cheng Jiekun expose the sordid things he had done.
He had desperately wanted to be famous before but failed; this time, he got his wish—he made it to the trending searches in minutes.
The web drama director who received the news: "..."
What kind of sin did he commit! Why is this drama so disaster-ridden!
It's one thing that the female lead has had work done on her face and kept having issues with the Props during filming; the third female lead got injured as soon as they started shooting and is still lying in the hospital; the male lead is even more frustrating—before the show was released and before he became famous, he already learned to sexually harass the assistants and minor artists around him...
If a minor supporting role is missing, he could find an extra to make do and continue filming. But with a main character with heavy screen time missing, how can they film!
Because Cheng Jiekun was the producer's nephew and an internally selected candidate, the role of the male lead never had an open audition, so there was no backup candidate to activate. Where could he find someone on such short notice?
Moreover, those in this line of work believe in Feng Shui to some extent. With so many disasters right at the start of filming, is this really not a warning from the heavens?
Thus, Lou Yiling, who was currently overwhelmed by a rich second-generation heir pressuring her to return jewelry—or pay the cash equivalent if she couldn't return the exact same items—received a "production suspension" notice from the crew.
Instantly, she felt terrible.
Filming suspended?
Why!
She was planning to collect her paycheck after filming; now the paycheck was gone, and the rich heir was pressuring her for money—where was she supposed to get it?
Speaking of which, it's really bad luck!
That day at the neighboring crew, she had a brain fart and said a bunch of things she shouldn't have, which someone recorded and posted online, and coincidentally, the rich heir happened to see it. Now she had poked a hornet's nest.
"Didn't they say bad luck can be transferred? Transfer it! Quickly transfer it! Why isn't it working!"
Xie Yang anxiously clenched the Black Crystal in her palm, pacing back and forth incessantly.
"Little Lou! Little Lou! You're the only one left who hasn't checked out. Please hurry up, I need to settle the bill with the hotel."
The production manager kept calling to urge her to check out.
Lou Yiling felt even more agitated.
If she checked out, where would she stay?
Just then, through the floor-to-ceiling window of the guest room, she saw Xie Yang passing through the public area downstairs and rushed to the window like a madwoman, shouting loudly at Xie Yang:
"Xie Meini!"
"Xie Meini!"
"Xie Meini!"
Xie Yang looked up and smiled at her: "Something you need?"
Lou Yiling stared at her, thinking frantically: "Something go wrong, something go wrong, hurry up and go wrong! Only if you have bad luck can I succeed!"
However, nothing happened to Xie Yang at all.
Instead, when she herself was angrily pushing her suitcase downstairs to check out, she accidentally stepped on her own hem and fell, her chin hitting the metal corner of the suitcase, knocking out a front tooth...
"Ahhh—"
