Chapter 145 -145 Director Sun, You Haven’t Paid for the Meal Yet

Follow curr𝒆nt nov𝒆ls on fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com.

Chixia Village was located in a remote area with a backward economy, so there was almost no good food to be found—it was a complete gastronomical desert.

The villagers’ daily meals were mostly about filling the stomach, so the dishes they prepared were quite simple, not to mention adding various seasonings.

They mostly just prepared chili sauce to have on hand all year round.

Naturally, drinking such fresh fish soup and eating such tender fish fillets for the first time was understandably exciting beyond words.

“Everyone, take a good look, the villagers are all praising the dishes Jiang Li made, this is no longer part of the script, right?”

“Exactly, even if Lili could bribe one or two villagers, how could she possibly bribe the whole village?”

...

“Ah, the food they are eating looks so delicious! I just finished dinner! Isn’t this a transformation variety show? This is too cruel, sniffle.”

“I’m drooling here, I want to try the fish soup Lili made.”

Qi Tianyu’s Buddha Jumps Over the Wall also received universal praise.

The dish included high-end ingredients like abalone and sea cucumber, which some villagers in the deep mountains had never even seen before, let alone tasted. Under Jiang Li’s guidance, the dish prepared by Qi Tianyu turned out to be quite tasty and was quickly devoured as soon as it was served.

Qi Tianyu, being the chef himself, felt extremely satisfied.

Previously, the whole internet ridiculed him as the grandmaster of awful cooking.

Now, he had finally made a comeback.

However, all this was thanks to Jiang Li.

Thus, he raised the beer He Yun had exchanged from the program group with his good score, “Sister Li, thank you for taking care of me these days. I might have been biased against you when we first met, but now I really admire you.”

Jiang Li also raised her glass and smiled, “As expected.”

“?? What is Qi talking about? What happened between him and Jiang Li?”

“I knew it; I felt that Qi Tianyu didn’t quite like Jiang Li when he first saw her at the airport, but nobody believed me, and now Qi Tianyu admitted it himself.”

“Qi has apologized too, not many people can admit and let go like he can. From this, it seems that Jiang Li is indeed quite magnanimous.”

“I used to find all your praises for Jiang Li annoying, but now I see, this girl truly is a treasure.”

Qi Tianyu felt even more embarrassed by the other’s grace and composure, and he quickly gulped down his beer.

After he finished, he thought of something.

“Wait, Sister Li, are you of legal age to drink? I don’t want to be invited for tea by the police before I even reach the airport.”

Jiang Li’s cup paused at her lips, her brow twitched.

“You’re calling me ‘sister’ and you’re still worried if I’m underage?”

Qi Tianyu felt a bit awkward, “I used ‘sister’ as a respectful term, besides, you look so much like a high school student, isn’t it normal to be worried you’re not of age?”

“Exactly,” Shu Yan joined in, “Your face is so full of collagen, I’m extremely envious.”

Although she was only 26 this year, she might be the oldest among them.

Moreover, with her constant staying up late for filming, her face had aged prematurely, and now, sitting next to a naturally beautiful, bare-faced young girl, the contrast was even more striking.

“Exactly,” after Shu Yan finished, Wen Jiaojiao sitting on the other side of Jiang Li also added, “Jiang Li is only 19, aren’t you embarrassed to keep calling her ‘sister’?”

Qi Tianyu looked at Wen Jiaojiao as if he had seen a ghost.

This woman had let Jiang Li off today, and now she was even speaking up for her?!

“?? I didn’t mishear, did I? Wen Jiaojiao is actually speaking for Jiang Li? The sun must have risen from the west.”

“Yes, sister, you heard right, my expression is just like Qi Tianyu’s, they seem quite surprised too.”

Only then did Jiang Yan snort coldly.

“How does she look 19? She’s clearly an old witch!”

Being able to tell fortunes, read faces, and wield swords and knives, if she wasn’t a fox spirit who had attained enlightenment, then what was she?

However, the next moment he turned his head, his eyes narrowing slightly as he met Jiang Li’s gaze.

“Jiang Yan, what are you holding in your hand?”

Jiang Yan paused and looked at the bottle of alcohol he was holding.

“It’s alcohol. What about it?”

“That’s unfortunate,” said Jiang Li indifferently. “Before coming here, Mom told me to make sure you don’t smoke or drink. Now, be a good boy and hand it over.”

Jiang Yan: !!!

Damn, he knew he should have kept his mouth shut!!!

He hadn’t even had a drink yet!!!

[LOL, Jiang Yan is such a sucker, why did he even say what he said!]

[So it was their mom’s orders, LOL, the young master is really being watched.]

“Why should I?!” Jiang Yan gripped the bottle tighter, grumbling, “Everyone else can drink tonight. Why can’t I?”

“There’s no reason.” Jiang Li coldly crushed his last bit of hope, then turned his gaze to He Yun across from him. “The alcohol was bought by He Yun. Ask him if he’ll let you drink it.”

Suddenly called out, He Yun was startled for a moment and after regaining his composure, he smiled back at Jiang Li.

“I have limited stocks of the alcohol I exchanged; maybe you should hold off for tonight, Young Master Jiang. Let Tianyu have it first since he’s leaving tomorrow.”

Jiang Yan: ????!!!!!

Damn, these two must be doing this on purpose?!

[LOL, Mr. He understood Jiang Li in a second. Not telling who got shipped.]

[That eye contact!! Mom, I’m dead, I just knew Divorce CP is real.]

[Wait, didn’t you notice He Yun seemed a bit distracted just now? He has been off all day, didn’t anyone notice?]

[Maybe he’s just been really tired these past few days, and He Yun isn’t that outgoing, you all are thinking too much.]

The atmosphere was gradually heating up.

It had been a long time since the villagers of Chixia Village had gathered like this, with delicious food in front, accompanied by fine wines, making the scene exceptionally lively.

Even a few aunts stood up and started to sing mountain songs, their clear voices mingling with the evening breeze, enthralling everyone with their charm.

Everyone was so enchanted, including the crew standing behind the cameras, their eyes turning red with envy.

It was already tough enough working hard all day, but now they had to sit back and watch these people enjoying their meal and music without being able to join.

It was torture worse than death.

Jiang Li, ever observant, saw this and smilingly said to Director Sun from behind the cameras:

“Director Sun, why don’t you join us too? We still have a spot at our table.”

Director Sun had been waiting for this invitation, but he still pretended to hesitate. “Really? Can I?”

“Of course, no problem.”

Qi Tianyu, realizing this, quickly got up to greet Director Sun.

“Director Sun, these past days have been taxing. We can’t have this meal without you.”

So amidst the envious looks from other crew members, Director Sun sat down happily.

“Well, I won’t hold back then.”

Saying so, he served himself a bowl of fish soup.

Having watched from the side for so long, he had been craving that golden fish soup!

However, just as he took his first sip, savoring the taste had yet to happen, when he heard Jiang Li’s slow voice from across:

“Director Sun, you haven’t paid for your meal yet. Isn’t it a bit inappropriate to start eating like this?”
