"What would the guests like to order?"
For the previous two days, due to the variety show filming, all the artists’ meals were prearranged box lunches, and Tang Shu hadn’t yet had a chance to try the dishes here.
"What are your specialty dishes here?"
"Our restaurant’s pan-seared steak and Sanbeiji (Three-cup chicken) are pretty good; you can give them a try."
"Then we’ll have one of each."
Chen Xin and Zhang Yilin were not first-timers here; knowing Tang Shu’s love for trying various cuisines, they accurately named three or four dishes they thought were good.
"Alright, please wait for a moment, the dishes will be served shortly."
Not long after the waiter took the menu, seven or eight dishes were successively served at the table for four.
The dishes were a feast for the eyes and the nose, and made the group, who hadn’t eaten breakfast, suddenly feel hungry.
"Let’s introduce ourselves first, then we can eat. This is my friend Su Xiaochi."
Tang Shu introduced her friend to the other two, who were initially taken aback but quickly became lively and started chatting with her.
"Oh, Xiao Chi, you’re Xiao Shushu’s friend? That makes you my friend too. Sorry for any previous neglect, hope you don’t mind!"
"Wow~~~ such a beautiful lady, Chen Xin, are you blind to have neglected her?"
"Psh~~ as if you bothered to greet her before, Zhang Yilin, your shamelessness knows no bounds!"
Su Xiaochi was inherently playful, and seeing how funny the two were, her eyes lit up, and she quickly joined in the banter.
"You two... are you a couple?"
The question was like lighting a fuse on two firecrackers, "Who’s in a couple with him (her)?"
"Oh~~~~ such chemistry, and you say you’re not?"
"No way, no way, as if I’d fall for this shrew!"
"Hmph, look at you with that buzz cut, looking like you just got out of somewhere, a spitting image of a little hooligan. I thought you’d done something despicable just stepping out the door!"
Su Xiaochi narrowed her eyes and leisurely sipped her lemon tea, adding fuel to the fire.
"But little hooligans and shrews make a good match—"
"Humph! No one would marry this shrew!"
She really shouldn’t have invited this guy over from next door.
After returning from Shan Province, Tang Shu visited Starshine Media.
"You’ve come at the right time, take a look at this."
Upon her arrival, Sister Luo immediately sent her the advertising video and pictures taken for the COOL brand.
"They’ve already discussed it with me, and I think the ad is fine, and the touched-up pictures are also well done. Have a look for yourself."
Tang Shu went over and carefully reviewed everything, feeling once more the efforts of the post-production staff.
"It’s good, no problems."
"That’s great. According to the contract, these retouched images will be used for Weibo posts and billboards, while the ad video has reached a partnership with a television station. Also, the COOL side hopes to insert it as a commercial during ’You Smile,’ which is additionally paid."
"An inserted advertisement? But this drama has already aired up to episode ten, with only eight episodes left."
Wouldn’t that be a loss?
"You’re not aware of how popular ’You Smile’ is right now. It’s true that it has aired more than half of the episodes, but you can’t ignore the huge number of clicks it gets on video websites!"
Sister Luo smiled, "Moreover, Wenxin Screenwriter has been working really hard these past few days and has just finished writing the big finale of the first season. She’s left a cliffhanger, ensuring that the second season’s ratings won’t be low either."
At least, it won’t be low at the start of next year.
