Today was Zhang Zhang’s first time participating in a live broadcast, but the viewership was already so high. Zhang Zhang was so happy that she couldn’t help but order a bunch of dishes, more than the three of them could eat.
When the dishes were served, Shi Lu couldn’t help but complain to her when he saw that the table was filled with food, “Can you even finish all of this? Why did you order so much food? Wasting food is shameful.”
Zhang Zhang rolled her eyes at him and said, “It’s true that 1 can’t eat all of this food, but you can. Sister Yuan Shu and I will be in charge of tasting a little bit of each. You will be in charge of finishing the food. Don’t waste it.”
Zhang Zhang picked up a piece of chicken and placed it on Yuan Shu’s plate as she asked, “Sister Yuan Shu, don’t you plan to take on another role?”
Shi Lu was also all ears. This television drama was Yuan Shu’s first role, but the television drama couldn’t be filmed. Yuan Shu hadn’t officially debuted, so no other roles should have been offered to her at this time.
Shi Lu suggested, “Sister-in-law, why don’t we let Zhang Chao choose a female lead role for you? I’ll be the male lead. If you act in the same drama as me, it will definitely be a hit.”
Although Shi Xiao and Yuan Shu were already divorced, the three siblings of the Shi family had not changed their address. They felt that the address of ‘sister-in-law’ was more intimate and showed their respect for Yuan Shu.
Originally, Yuan Shu wasn’t very interested in the entertainment industry. However, since the story was still developing according to the plot in the book, Yuan Shu had to plan for her future. Only when she was capable enough would she have the ability to protect herself.
As they were talking, a group of people suddenly walked in. Four to five boys surrounded a girl in a light yellow dress while dancing and laughing. The scene was very lively.
The dining room was very quiet and soothing music was being played, so the voices of this group of people sounded especially jarring. It also interrupted Yuan Shu’s thoughts, so she didn’t continue this topic.
Yuan Shu had her back facing the door and didn’t see this group of young people. She could only hear voices. Zhang Zhang and Shi Lu, who were opposite Yuan Shu, could see them.
After Shi Lu glanced at the group of children, he lowered his head to focus on eating the food on the table as he said in a muffled voice, “These children look like they just graduated. They’re probably about the same age as Shi Bin.”
Zhang Zhang looked in their direction and lamented, “It’s good to be young. They’re so energetic.”
Yuan Shu smiled at Zhang Zhang and said dotingly, “You’re still young. You’re as energetic as them.”
Zhang Zhang picked up her wine glass happily and clinked it with Yuan Shu’s.
The group of people walked towards their seats. They probably wanted to sit beside them, but the girl and one of the boys in the group were stunned when they saw Yuan Shu’s back. The boy called out to the waiter, “I think the view upstairs is better. We want our seats to be on the second floor.”
“Sir, seating on the second floor has a minimum spending requirement,” the waiter explained.
A short and chubby boy beside the boy said unhappily, “Do we look like we can’t afford it? Hurry up and lead the way.”
Upon hearing this brusque voice, Yuan Shu couldn’t help but frown. Children nowadays were so spoiled and rude.
Soon, it was ten o’clock. The Peak of the Sky’s lights were switched off one by one and replaced by spotlights. The atmosphere instantly became lively, and the voices of the guests at every table became louder. The music was changed to upbeat DJ songs, and the volume was also turned up.
Top of the Sky had changed its business model. Before 10 pm, it was a music restaurant. After 10 pm, it became a bar and band venue. Zhang Zhang liked lively atmospheres, so they waited here until the evening.
The band went on stage with musical instruments and adjusted the equipment to prepare for their performance.
After a while, the band started performing. The entire venue was filled with screams and noise, as well as the sound of dice colliding. It was very lively.
Zhang Zhang held Yuan Shu’s arm with one hand as she waved her other hand excitedly. She had brought a black wig for the live broadcast today. As soon as the band started singing, she tore off her wig excitedly, revealing her short red hair.
She said loudly in Yuan Shu’s ear, “This is the most popular band now and they’ve performed in several bars.. Things will definitely be lively tonight! Sister Yuan Shu, let’s go up and dance!”
