Chapter 132: Yujie's noodles are a bit salty the first time

Su Manyao said she would make noodles for Jiang Cheng to eat, which surprised Jiang Cheng greatly.

"What's wrong, my noodles aren't tasty?" Su Manyao saw Jiang Cheng's gaze and retorted.

Jiang Cheng withdrew his serious gaze, swallowed, and said, "No, I haven't eaten it yet, I want to try."

Su Manyao turned her face away, walked to the kitchen without saying more; she herself felt a bit embarrassed, after all she had never made this for anyone before.

Even at home, she had never made food for herself.

However, yesterday she watched many different videos, and making noodles was the simplest.

She originally thought learning it would be useful later.

But after seeing Jiang Cheng's script today, she suddenly thought.

Should I give him a reward?

…

Jiang Cheng honestly sat down on the sofa.

He couldn't help feeling a bit excited!

Speaking of, what does the noodles made by Yujie actually taste like?

It probably tastes bad, after all it's likely her first time!

But Jiang Cheng can tolerate it; he has prepared himself to accept it!

"What are you doing?"

Suddenly Yujie's voice came from beside; Jiang Cheng turned his head and found Su Manyao standing behind the sofa at some point, looking at him.

"Nothing, I'm watching TV."

Su Manyao gave a half-smile, her eyes lingered on Jiang Cheng's hands for a moment, seeing him nervously rubbing his thighs, then she turned and went back to the kitchen.

Soon, Yujie's noodles were done.

Not only did she finish the noodles, she proactively carried the bowl of noodles and placed it on the dining table.

This brought her service attitude to the max.

Jiang Cheng was also excited, sat at the dining table, glanced, and saw the bowl of noodles in front of him—its color was okay, he could see egg ribbons, and it smelled quite nice.

But there was only one bowl of noodles.

Su Manyao sat beside him, propping her chin with her hand and watching him.

Jiang Cheng asked, "Aren't you eating?"

Su Manyao lightly shook her head, her eyes still on Jiang Cheng.

"I've had plenty of barbecue, I'll eat less tonight, you eat."

For the first time, Jiang Cheng felt that Yujie's aloof, big eyes actually carried a deeper affection than natural sincerity.

Just as she was looking at him now,

it gave him a feeling of being gazed upon with deep affection.

Jiang Cheng picked up his chopsticks; the noodles smelled fragrant, but he didn't hold high hopes, telling himself over and over, if it's bad, it's bad—Yujie's noodles, if placed at school, those beasts could lick the bowl clean!

Just making do with one bite wouldn't matter much!

Moreover, Yujie sat there beside him, her big eyes looking at him expectantly!

Jiang Cheng picked up his chopsticks and took a bite; then his face froze!

The noodles slid into his mouth, no strange taste, but extremely salty!

How salty was it?

So salty it turned bitter, like swallowing a mouthful of salt while biting his tongue!

"What's wrong?"

"Not tasty?"

Su Manyao asked in a somewhat nervous voice, sounding hurried.

Jiang Cheng swallowed it, almost too salty to speak.

But seeing Yujie's expectant big eyes, this was a rare sight.

Usually Yujie is aloof and uninterested in everything; who could imagine she made a bowl of noodles for a guy?

In this situation, how could we let Yujie feel hurt?

Would we still want to eat Yujie's noodles in the future?

"It's pretty good, just a bit salty, maybe because it's her first time."

Jiang Cheng said tactfully. Pa!

The Yujie who had just been gentle and lovely, full of expectation, slapped the table.

"Bastard!"

"I made noodles for you to eat, and you're still picking and choosing!"

"Hmph!"

"It's bad, don't eat it!"

After saying that, Yujie stood up, slipped on her slippers, and stormed off angrily.

Jiang Cheng:.

What to do

He thought that if he didn't eat it now, Yujie would probably hold a grudge for a long time.

Eat or not?

Jiang Cheng seriously examined this bowl of noodles.

Finally, he held a big mouthful and rushed into his bedroom.

Went to the bathroom to vomit, not out of disrespect for Yujie—I just couldn't swallow it.

The living room fell silent, and a crack opened in Yujie's bedroom door.

A big eye, gurgling, peered through the gap and looked out.

!

Then she cleared her throat, and Yujie walked out from inside.

Seeing the dining-room bowl empty, there was still some soup left inside.

Yujie quietly glanced back at Jiang Cheng's room, saw the door was already closed, walked over to the dining table, and picked up the bowl of noodles.

Then, curious, she slightly opened her lips and took a small sip of the soup…

Pfft~

The soup went into her mouth and was directly sprayed onto the ground.

Yujie opened her mouth, stuck out her tongue, and kept fanning it with her hand!

Her brows furrowed, her exquisite face drained of color.

Wow!

Is this something a person can eat?

Yujie put down the bowl, covered her face, and ran into her own room.

I really didn't mean to punish him.

I just wanted to reward him properly.

So embarrassing.

……

Two days later, Jiang Cheng received a call from director Wang Qiangwei.

"Jiang Cheng, your script has passed our company's review; assuming no surprises, we can start shooting next month, beginning with casting."

"The contract should be out this afternoon; I'll send it to you when it's ready, and if you have anything to add, just let me know."

If I were to film it myself, I currently lack the funds, experience, and team; working with Wang Qiangwei is a good option.

So Jiang Cheng didn't hesitate and said directly, "Okay."

As for the film's profits, as long as Wang Qiangwei's company doesn't act oppressively, Jiang Cheng can accept it.

After all, he has plenty of good works; his only strength is a good memory—he liked flashy things even in his past life and spent a lot of time studying them.

So for various works, even if he can't fully reproduce them.

But his mind holds a wealth of inspiration and templates; he can casually write a decent script or work.

So for this script, he doesn't care about maximizing profit; he cares about efficiency, not money-making efficiency.

Rather, it's about prying open a door, entering a circle, and unlocking the efficiency of a big stage!

Obviously, working with Wang Qiangwei is a good choice.

As for Ye Qing's side, many businessmen have contacted Chu Siqi, but Jiang Cheng has turned them all down.

Because he currently lacks a solid PR team, once profits or business activities are involved, various problems can easily arise if not dealt with promptly.

It's normal for Ye Qing to be caught with a handle and knocked down, unable to recover.

But now he's just posted the work online; even if there are issues, and peers want to sling mud, the attacking force is limited, so ignoring it avoids wasted effort.

Moreover, he signed Ye Qian up for a variety show.

At least before this show, avoiding leaving a black mark in the public eye could be a good thing for Ye Qing.

As for making money, as long as there are good works and the core holdings are stable, he doesn't care about short-term gains.

Wang Qiangwei also said on the call: "The variety show I previously recommended you sign up for, Jin Ge Shou, internal news—it's set to start recording in these two days; you should hear about it soon."
