Zi Yan was the girl that he had picked, so of course he would play some tricks. No matter who he had his eyes on in the Imperial Entertainment, the one would always give in to Li Cheng!

After the director heard Zi Yan's words, he turned to look at her and sneered:

"Zi Yan, oh Zi Yan, what are you thinking? Don't you have any idea? How can an outdated star like you become popular again without making any compromise? Not to mention a mere kissing scene, even if it's a love scene, you still have to accept it. As a veteran in the entertainment industry, don't you even know this rule?"

Hearing the director's reprimand, a faint smile flashed across Li Cheng's eyes.

But Zi Yan's expression remained the same, her voice cold as she said, "I understand the rule, but I won't have the kissing scene. Also, the company sent you here to cooperate with me in taking the video, not for you to teach me how to do it. If you insist on taking the kissing scene, then I'll quit the shooting!"

"What did you say?"

The director's expression completely darkened, but he didn't have any idea in his heart. He didn't expect Ziyan to be so unyielding. He sneaked a glance at Li Cheng, wanting to see what his intentions were.

When Li Cheng saw the negotiation could go no further, he finally said, "Zi Yan, how about covering my lips with a lip mask? What do you think?"

The lip mask was like a plastic film, which is sometimes used in shooting a kissing scene, but most people would never use it for the sake of authenticity.

Moreover, Li Cheng was thinking of how he could easily get rid of the lip mask with a few strokes. At that time, wouldn't he be able to kiss her anyway?

Looking at Zi Yan's exquisite cheeks and seductive figure, Li Cheng's heart was immediately set ablaze, especially Zi Yan's red lips, which made him look forward to the next part of the mv.

However, Zi Yan's answer stunned him.

"I don't have kissing scenes." Zi Yan coldly and stiffly refused.

Her tone was so firm that no one doubted that, if the director insisted on shooting the kissing scene, Zi Yan would definitely not do it.

"Not even with the lip mask?"

Li Cheng looked a little embarrassed, for Zi Yan's rejections in front of everyone made him lose face.

Li Cheng was the son of a board member of Imperial Entertainment, having a high position in the company, while Zi Yan was merely an outdated star. But for her nice appearance, he would not have cast a look on her. But now, she was actually humiliating him, how could he not be angry?

"No way!" Zi Yan once again rejected coldly.

In the past, she didn't do love scenes just because she didn't want to. But now that she had Meng Meng, she had one more reason.

"Alright."

Li Cheng's gaze darkened. With a smile that did not reach his eyes, he said, "Do whatever you want."

After saying that, Li Cheng left with large strides.

"You ?" The director stared at Zi Yan, "Hmph! Then just do it yourself!"

Then the director turned around and quickly followed Li Cheng.

"Fine, we will do it ourselves. How big a deal do you think you are? Stupid weirdo." Zhou Fei gave the director a fierce look, saying loudly, "Come on. Follow my lead. How lame that director is! It makes no difference whether we have him or not."

The director walking ahead almost tripped when he heard this. He turned around, glaring fiercely at Zhou Fei, and then strode away.

......

Liang Mengqi lived in a luxurious room in the sea-view high-rise.

This the same neighborhood where Xue Qian lived, but Xue Qian bought the house himself, while Liang Mengqi rented the house.

At this moment, Liang Mengqi was lying on the bed. Holding her phone in her hand, she sent a message to the WeChat group:

"Guess who I met today?"

"Handsome?" A person nicknamed 'I'm very beautiful' replied.

This person?s profile photo was a man and looked quite pretty. However, anyone who ever heard him speak would know that he was worthy of this nickname.

He was the sissy that Zhang Han had met at the seaside last time.

"No, it should be her ex-boyfriend." The person called 'Big Sis is very cool' replied.

This person was a woman with short hair, who looked like a tomboy and had a very candid personality.

"What ex-boyfriend!? Do you remember that cute little girl on the beach who I was going to give ice cream to? " Liang Mengqi replied.

'I'm very beautiful': "Of course I do. How can I forget such a cute little baby?"

'Big Sis is very cool': "Can you stop being so sick? You're so disgusting. Mengqi, did you run into that little girl?"

"That's right. I met that girl and her father. Lol, guess what the man does?" Liang Mengqi replied.

'I'm very beautiful': "He looks quite harsh. Is he a slumdog artist?"

'Big Sis is very cool': "I guess... A guard of some club? Although he's a bit mean, he's quite manly, much better than some sissy."

'Beauty': "Agreed."

Seven-Second Fish: "Agreed."

There were altogether over ten people in the WeChat group, who were all friends with each other. Among them, usually Liang Mengqi, the sissy, and the short-haired woman did most of the talking. The others chatted with each other only occasionally. The reason why these three had more free time was mainly that Liang Mengqi didn't have a job, while the sissy and short-haired woman didn't need to work for long hours.

"What are you guessing? He runs a restaurant!" Liang Mengqi snorted and decided not to keep up the suspense. She quickly typed on her phone, "I'll tell you guys. His restaurant is called Meng Meng's Restaurant. His daughter's name is Meng Meng. How loving!"

'I'm very beautiful': "Oh my God! So loving! So that guy is actually the owner of a small restaurant."

"Hmm, his restaurant is very special. Even I have never seen such a restaurant before. It's decorated like a family dining room, and don't think that he's the just a restaurant owner. The wall behind his TV is emerald, and he has a Steinway piano, each one of them worth more than a million."

'I'm very beautiful': "Oh my! He's a tycoon after all. Oh, tycoon, please give me a hug."

'Big Sis is very cool': "How disgusting! You are such a sissy."

Seven-Second Fish: " How disgusting! You are such a sissy."

'Beauty': " How disgusting! You are such a sissy."

"That's not the point!" Liang Mengqi replied, "The important thing is that the food he makes is really fragrant, really really fragrant. The important thing must be repeated. That is the first time I've had such fragrant food in my whole life. Well, now that I'm thinking about it, I'm really hungry and almost drooling."

'I'm very beautiful': "Huh? Are you for real? My lady, you are always strict with food. I've never seen you ever thought so highly of something before."

Seven-Second Fish: "What food? What food? Tell us now!"

"Egg Fried Rice!" Liang Mengqi replied.

'Big Sis is very cool': "Pfft... Are you kidding me?"

"I'm not joking." Liang Mengqi replied, "His Egg Fried Rice smells really good, and the milk is also the best milk I've ever had. You know, this owner's personality is really unique. He only opens the restaurant when he cooks for his daughter, and today I still waited for a while to get my hands on it. Also, his Egg Fried Rice is 280 yuan, and one cup of milk is 80 yuan, but I feel that I won't even hesitate to eat it, even if it costs 2,800 yuan! Because that meal was really too delicious."

Liang Mengqi sent a long message, causing the others to be stunned for a moment.

'Big Sis is very cool': "Are you serious? Is it really that delicious?"

'Beauty': "/Tongue. 280 yuan per serving of Egg Fried Rice and 80 yuan per cup of milk. How expensive! "

'I'm very beautiful': "Humph, I won't believe it. The Egg Fried Rice is more or less the same. What? Is his Egg Fried Rice made from the Heaven?"

"I swear it's true!" Liang Mengqi humphed and replied, "Believe it or not, I'm already going to bed right now so that I will be able to get up at seven tomorrow. If I miss his Egg Fried Rice, then I won't have the appetite to eat anything else."

'Big Sis is very cool': "Seven o'clock, right? I'll go too!"

'I'm very beautiful': "Me too!"

"Call me before seven then. I'm going to bed." Liang Mengqi replied and was about to sleep.

"Ding ?"

Her phone suddenly rang. Liang Mengqi picked it up and found it was her elder brother, Liang Hao.

"Bro, why are you calling me so late at night?" Liang Mengqi asked.

"Meng Qi, are you in Xiangjiang?" Liang Hao said with a smile.

"Yeah."

"I'm going to Xiangjiang too." Liang Hao said slowly.

"Huh?" Liang Mengqi was slightly surprised, "What are you doing here? Don't you have two companies in Singapore to manage?"

"I'm going to give it to Uncle and the others. I've been in charge of the companies for two years, and I've already doubled our market value. Now, I'll go to Xiangjiang for a long vacation." Liang Hao said with a smile.

"Tch! It's really strange that the people at home agree to let you out. It's good if you come. I'm pretty bored here by myself anyway."

"I have something serious to do there this time. Um ? This time, I am going to see Zi Yan." Liang Hao smiled slightly. At this moment, even his voice was a bit softer.

"Zi Yan?" Liang Mengqi was slightly surprised, "Why are you looking for her? I thought you two didn't have any contact."

"I'm already 26 years old, and the family always wants to make me get married. I don't agree, but dad wants me to find a girlfriend within a year, and I think that Zi Yan is still the most suitable one for me. Furthermore, I heard that she is not in a very good situation in Xiangjiang, so I decided to go and help her this time." Liang Hao said slowly.

"Then when are you coming to Xiangjiang?" Liang Mengqi asked.

"It'll be at least a month later. The date has not been set yet. I will go once I have finished the company's matters." Liang Hao replied.

"Oh, alright then. I won't chat with you anymore. I still have to get up early to eat Egg Fried Rice tomorrow morning. Bye bye."

After Liang Mengqi finished speaking, she hung up the phone. Before she went to bed, the image of Zhang Han suddenly appeared in her mind, along with his elegant posture of playing the piano!

"This fellow is actually quite handsome."

Liang Mengqi mumbled and then fell into a deep sleep.

......

The next morning at around 6 AM, Zhang Han and Meng Meng had already got up and washed up.

After coming down to the first floor, Zhang Han turned on his MacBook, put on some nice music, cooked the rice and prepared the eggs to get ready for the today's breakfast.

It was still ten minutes to 7: 00 when a customer came into the restaurant. To be exact, it was an employee of the restaurant next door.

"Hello, may I ask what's your restaurant selling?" The ordinary-looking woman in her early thirties asked out of curiosity.
