Chapter 369: Spicy Strips for Fifty Cents!
Everyone, "..."
Snacks?
It makes sense to provide meals, and it makes sense to pay, but why provide snacks?
Even Fang Lilin, who was usually so strict, couldn’t help but twitch at the corner of his eye.
"Provide snacks?" He doubted his own ears.
With her fairy-like demeanor, she really didn’t seem to fit with something as down-to-earth as snacks.
Xia Weibao nodded earnestly, "Yeah, during filming, our crew provides meals, at least four dishes and a soup, including chicken, duck, fish, and meat, and we’re also paid an acting fee.
During breaks, we have snacks like spicy strips, chicken feet, potato chips, and sunflower seeds.
Oh right, and they let us play games too. Do you have that?"
Her face was serious, but inside she was constantly complaining. Like hell there’s chicken, duck, fish, and meat!
Director Xu Jiayang, that stingy guy, we haven’t seen a single piece of meat in the canteen food for several months, not even a sliver!
And don’t even think about snacks.
They’re too expensive, he wouldn’t dream of buying them.
And games, every time he saw her playing King of Glory, he’d react as if she had slaughtered his entire family, shouting and raging at her.
Her Majesty the Empress swallowed hard; the food in the military camp was too awful, she really wanted some meat.
And it had been so long since she had snacks, she was so craving for spicy strips she nearly gnawed on the bed in her dreams!
She had to take advantage of this opportunity to mooch a bit!
To treat herself better.
Seeing that no one had responded for a long time, Her Majesty the Empress felt that her requests might have been too much.
So she cleared her throat, "Well... it’s okay not to provide meals, and if funds are tight, you don’t have to pay me either, but snacks are a must, preferably spicy strips, the kind that costs 0.5 yuan per pack, they’re not expensive."
Everyone, "..."
Meng Hai and Zhao Wen hugged their heads and wept bitterly. Ah, the goddess, such an ethereal being, actually eats spicy strips that cost 0.5 yuan a pack, it’s just too image-destroying.
"Include everything, all of it." Fang Lilin came to his senses, his smile warm and gentle.
He used to think she was like a goddess, unapproachable.
But now he realized that she too had a human side, very endearing.
Finally getting to have snacks, Her Majesty the Empress was very happy, "Alright then, what do you want me to act in?"
"As my girlfriend."
Whoosh whoosh whoosh—
As soon as Fang Lilin finished speaking, everyone’s eyes fell on him.
Act as his girlfriend?
Wasn’t she supposed to act with Jiang Liang?
Jiang Liang was also completely bewildered.
If Xia Weibao and Fang Lilin were to act together, how would he scheme against her then?
"Commander, everyone in the Du Yin gang knows you, if you go..." Jiang Liang said hesitantly.
The others chimed in agreeably, yeah, Fang Lilin had been after Du Yin for so long, they were practically archenemies.
The moment he showed up, everyone would probably scatter, so how would they gather any intelligence on the enemy?
Fang Lilin’s face showed slight embarrassment, "Act as a couple with Commander Jiang."
"Oh."
Xia Weibao replied listlessly, somewhat disdainfully.
What could she do when Her Majesty was a member of the association that judged by appearances? Although Jiang Liang was also quite a looker by military standards, compared to Lu Hualiang... Well, there was no comparison.
To stay in touch more conveniently, Fang Lilin returned Xia Weibao’s phone to her and installed a bugging device.
It would be removed after the mission was over.
Xia Weibao was overjoyed to have her phone back—now she could play King of Glory.
As soon as she turned on the device, she received a text from Lu Hualiang, "Honey, I’m going on a business trip to M country for half a month. Take care of yourself."
As for why Director Lu suddenly had to go on a trip, it was because he feared he wouldn’t be able to stop himself from climbing into bed with her every night, potentially upsetting Xia Weibao, so he decided to leave for a while.
Anyway, since Fang Lilin had been transferred away, he wasn’t worried about those two meeting privately.
