While they were talking, a barbecue grill had already been brought in, followed by a van full of fresh ingredients.
Next, several large boxes of beer came rolling in. They even hired a chef.
Yu Sixing gently said, âI apologize for the lack of preparation, this is all I could muster up on short notice. I hope everyone enjoys the meal.â
Barbecues are undoubtedly the number one choice for midnight snacks. Even for these celebrities who are diligent about watching their weight, they couldnât help themselves when they smelled the tantalizing aroma. Moreover, the food was all selected by Yu Sixing himself and was the freshest and best available. The chef was a main chef from a star-rated hotel. Further, even if they really wanted to lose weight, everyone felt they should at least take a bite out of politeness to Yu Sixing for his effort.
Yu Sixing was very democratic and had his assistant distribute the barbecue to everyone. He casually picked up a skewer of grilled lamb kidney and started to eat it calmly. The director, assistant director, and the leading actors and actresses all gathered around him. Yu Sixing chatted casually, not ignoring anyone and not specifically looking for Xue Feifei who was in the corner. He just kept eating his lamb kidneys while occasionally washing it down with beer.
Without the pressure to lose weight, the production crew ate happily. The director even joked, âMr. Yu, it seems like youâre quite satisfied with these grilled kidneys?â
âThe taste is great. These are freshly butchered and cooked in their own juices. The taste isnât too strong, but delicately delicious. Itâs not only men who can eat this but women too. Why donât everyone give it a try?â
He was well-prepared and had the chef make one for everyone. He instructed, âEveryone has to taste it, every single one of you.â
Although he said every single person, his gaze specifically lingered on Xue Feifei. Seeing her begrudgingly accepting the food and being forced to take a bite, he was content.
As the party went on, the director began to mumble.
He was a famous director known for his extravagant film usage. The initial budget of two hundred million was far from enough for him to spend. The film was primarily funded by two investors, besides Yu Sixing, the other was the management company of the actress who was originally playing the second female lead. Due to her departure, without enough up-and-coming starlets that they wanted to push, they had already decided to stop investing money.
The director could only resort to asking Yu Sixing for more money.
âUm, Mr. Yu, can we increase the investment a bit more? Not asking for much, just another few tens of millionsâ¦â
The hand which Yu Sixing was holding his wine cup paused. He did not immediately agree, but responded, âIâll have to observe for a few more days to see if itâs worth it.â
The director was overjoyed, âNo problem! No problem! We will definitely strive to do a great job, so you see the best results!â
What he didnât know was that when Xue Feifei heard this news, she trembled imperceptibly.
The dinner had made her extremely nervous. By the time it finally ended, the director asked her, Huang Mi, and Xiang Yirou to stay for a discussion about the next dayâs scenes. They had to start filming early in the morning with scenes that involve all three of them, so they needed to plan ahead today.
But Xue Feifei was looking towards where Yu Sixing was, and seeing him leave without so much as a backwards glance, she breathed a sigh of relief.
âXue Feifei, what are you looking at?ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Director Zhao growled in dissatisfaction and she quickly focused her attention back on the discussion about the scenes.
Obviously, with so many women around him, he didnât need to entertain himself with her. Besides, it has been three weeks and he hasnât called or texted her once. He has obviously forgotten about her.
