Protagonist:

Lu Feng

"Thank you, but no thanks."

Lu Feng was taking ingredients out of the boxes one by one; hearing Wang Mo's introduction, he shrugged and said calmly.

"We're just here to film you cooking — equivalent to giving you free publicity."

Rejected by Lu Feng once again, Wang Mo got a bit heated.

How can this boss be so impervious to persuasion?

Last time he was rejected, only he and Lu Feng were in the shop, so it wasn't a big deal.

But this time, Han Lu and the Cameraman were watching from behind him, and he felt he couldn't save face.

A crowd of onlookers was still gathered at the Door; if he slunk away again, the humiliation would be massive.

"Lu Boss, if this opportunity were placed on any other Restaurant, those bosses would be queueing up to beg us! Do you know our program's influence in Jiangcheng? We just edit a few shots and can double your Shop's Customer Flow..."

He wanted to keep talking endlessly, to move the other party with the program's value, but was stopped by Han Lu behind him.

"Director Wang, let me handle this."

Han Lu had been observing just now; she had already seen that Lu Feng wasn't someone who pursued fame and fortune.

Moreover, Wang Mo's way of speaking gave off a pressuring feeling.

The more that tone was used, the more it tended to provoke annoyance.

She couldn't help rolling her eyes inwardly.

Is this the silver tongue honed from doing sales?

Back when she did sales, I wonder if she ever got beaten up.

No wonder she later switched careers to become a Director.

Wang Mo frowned; he had come fully prepared this time, a belly full of talking points just started and was interrupted before he could finish.

Seeing his reluctance, Han Lu leaned to his ear and whispered an added line: "Director Wang, don't forget our purpose for coming this time; if you keep talking like this, we'll likely make another wasted trip today."

Although Wang Mo felt uncomfortable inside, he also knew the importance of this shoot.

Seeing Lu Feng still with that impervious look, the words he'd just spoken apparently hadn't sunk in, and he didn't want to say more to Lu Feng either.

Han Lu's intervention actually suited his wishes.

So he stepped back, crossed his arms, and stood aside in a "you do it if you can" posture without speaking.

"Director Wang, just stay quiet when I speak later; leave the rest to me."

Han Lu whispered another reminder, then took a deep breath and quickly organized her thoughts.

Looks like this Lu Boss takes softness not hardness; Director Wang's condescending attitude just now would only backfire.

It's just lowering one's stance, right?

To complete the Chief Editor's assigned filming Mission, swallowing pride is no Big Deal.

When I first joined the Television Station, didn't I also swallow pride all the way to slowly reach today's position?

Han Lu straightened her collar, moved two steps toward the Kitchen, bowed slightly, and said in a very gentle tone:

"Lu Boss, we've done business once before; last time Director Wang came over it was indeed abrupt, no advance notice, straight up asking to interview you, causing some misunderstanding. This time we're here to apologize first."

Hearing Han Lu's words, Wang Mo standing to the side instantly fell flat.

What do you mean I was abrupt?

Clearly Lu Feng didn't give face, so in the end I become the bad guy, right?

You communicate, fine, but can you not step on me?

He just wanted to retort, but Han Lu turned and gave him a shut-up look.

Wang Mo opened his mouth but no words came out.

Although he was very displeased inside, pressured by the filming Mission he still chose to obediently shut up.

After stopping Wang Mo from speaking, Han Lu continued reasoning with Lu Feng.

"Lu Boss, this time we have no other Requests — just want to communicate with you, let us film some shots of you cooking here. We guarantee not to Disturb your prep; once filmed we'll leave immediately, won't delay your Shop's business."

"If you feel today's time isn't convenient, we can also discuss — come back when you're not busy."

Han Lu is a Host after all; she still has some verbal tricks.

The same words from her mouth sound much more Comfortable.

After she finished, she watched Lu Feng's Reaction in the Kitchen.

Lu Feng still didn't stop his work; right now he was busy cutting and blanching the beef bought from the System Mall.

While they were discussing, Lu Feng had already started preparing for the evening's business.

In his view, he had already refused once.

If the other party was tactful, leaving them hanging a while would probably make them leave like Yesterday.

Compared to the Television Station's interview and filming, he still felt preparing Ingredients for the diners waiting outside was more important.

After Han Lu finished, the Shop fell into brief silence.

Watching Lu Feng silently busy in the Kitchen, she felt both anxious and Helpless.

Since becoming a program Host, this was her first time being this humble toward an interviewee.

But no choice — who made Lu Feng the one Chief Editor Chen specified this time?

Han Lu stared at Lu Feng's back in the Kitchen, watching him pour the cut beef into the hot wok.

Sizzle— a burst of white steam wrapped in meat fragrance instantly spread through the kitchen.

Smelling this tempting fragrance, Han Lu's stomach couldn't help but let out a growl.

Watching Lu Feng's focused appearance as he prepared ingredients, a sudden flash of inspiration struck her mind.

"Boss Lu, how about this: you continue with your cooking, we'll just film from the side, absolutely won't disturb your cooking, what do you think?"

Lu Feng this time still didn't respond, but also didn't open his mouth to refuse, the movements in his hands not stopping for a moment.

"Then... Boss Lu, I'll take that as your agreement, we'll start filming right now."

Seeing Lu Feng had no intention of refusing, Han Lu felt a breath of relief in her heart, hurriedly shooting a meaningful glance at the cameraman on the side.

The cameraman had long since hoisted up the camera, waiting on the side for the signal to start filming.

Now seeing Han Lu nod, he immediately crouched low and walked into the kitchen on light feet, adjusted the angle a bit, then made an OK gesture toward Han Lu's side.

Han Lu tidied her collar, her face instantly switching to a host's unique amiable smile, facing the lens and beginning the opening script.

"Hello everyone, audience friends, today we've come to the hottest Lu Family Restaurant on Food Street, the person behind me is the soul figure of this little shop: boss and head chef, Lu Feng."

As she introduced, she lightly raised her hand.

The camera's lens slowly moved toward Lu Feng following her gesture.
