After the empress transmigrated, she became the judge of the entertainment industry.

Chapter 668 sounds like a villain.

Sheng Hanyu remained silent after answering the phone. Only after hanging up did he frown and say, "What's this guy up to now? The timing of his call is way too precise."

"Oh my, I just sent him a picture of a fish out of boredom, who knew he had so much free time."

Ye Sanqing fiddled with the fishing rod and added some more bait.

"Actually, if the situation is as urgent as he says, he would probably call back whether you send a message or not. But there's one thing I don't understand."

"Let me guess, do you think he should go directly to the eldest sister?"

"Yes, even if it's to find your second brother, why would he look for you? He probably knows you're filming and might not have time to deal with him at all."

"Indeed, we came out to shoot an advertisement today without any promotion. Even if they said we could take selfies and post them on Weibo, they scheduled it for 8:20 pm."

"The timing is a bit too precise... In short, I find him very suspicious, but some of what he said should be true."

"Which part? The part about Ye Wanyin?"

"Correct."

Ye Sanqing had only said it casually, but his answer genuinely surprised her.

“He might not be playing with abstract concepts entirely; Ye Wanyin might actually be reacting. If Lu Wangqian is truly in danger, then this is his critical moment, and he is trying to gain all possible support.”

"Then I'll send a message to my older sister."

Ye Yifan replied quickly. Lu Wangshen had indeed contacted her, but she deliberately kept her attitude ambiguous to see if he would get anxious.

Of course, if he's in a hurry, she'll take the opportunity to raise the price.

How many times in life can you trick Lu Wangshen? Of course, you should try to trick him if you can.

“My older sister said his attitude was vague, and it seemed like he was only verbally anxious. But the fact that he came to me means he was really anxious. But I don’t think he was deliberately hiding this, since he definitely knew that he had contacted me and that I would talk to my older sister about it.”

"So he was just putting on an act... like, 'I'm really in a hurry, please stop testing me, please.'"

"Yes, I think so too. But my eldest sister isn't very interested in bringing down Lu Mingye. I understand, because Lu Mingye is at least a clear target, and with him around, the Lu family can still be somewhat united."

"You mean they're harder to manage if they're scattered, while Lu Mingye is easier to manage, right?"

"Yes, I don't actually want to bring him down. I'd rather cooperate with Lu Mingye than with Lu Wangshen."

"I have a question. Does Fu Sizhou know about this?"

"I don't think he knows that Lu Wangshen came to me for help because he couldn't approach Fu Sizhou and Lu Mingye, or perhaps he couldn't offer conditions that would satisfy them. I bet he'll secretly send you a message later."

“I’m not talking about friendship with him, it’s purely business. Let me think about it.”

After thinking for a minute, Sheng Hanyu said, "I can't wait for him to send it to me; I have to send it to him proactively. I'll send it now."

His implication was that he wanted to take the initiative and participate. It seemed like he had been aroused, but in reality, it was a bit of a provocation.

I also want to participate. Lu Wangshen, will you refuse?

If you don't refuse, what conditions will you offer?

“He’s waiting for me.” Sheng Hanyu laughed as soon as she saw the reply. “The North American furniture market share, how did he know I wanted that? He’s already acquired the company, just waiting for me to invest.”

“This sounds much more tempting than the Lu family’s. Why doesn’t he give the Ye family a share of the North American hotel market?”

"I guess that was his trump card, something he'd use to negotiate the price at the last minute. But since he knew I was right next to you, and he told me his terms directly, it means he's practically playing his hand now."

"Then I should start thinking about my price."

Then it was time for the photo shoot, and the two didn't mention the matter again.

After taking photos, they fished for a while until Xiaoze returned from shopping, at which point they got up to prepare dinner.

"If I say I'm going to obey Ninth Master's orders, won't that sound like I'm playing the villain? Oh no, now I'm really sitting at the same table as Lu Wangshen," Ye Sanqing said.

"Not really. Sending him to the death penalty would be the same as taking his life, wouldn't it?"

"That's true."

After confirming the conditions, Ye Sanqing immediately sent a message to Lu Wangshen, but the other party has not replied yet.

This might really be a time difference.

"I can't let his affairs ruin my appetite. What should I do tonight?"

"This type of fish is coated with a batter and is best when deep-fried. Although it is similar to crucian carp, it doesn't have as many bones. The scales need to be removed, so it's coated to improve the texture and hold its shape."

"Okay, what about the other miscellaneous fish and vegetables?"

"We can just cook those miscellaneous fish, freeze them, and take them back to feed the cat. As for the other dishes, there are four of us eating... so how about stir-fried shredded vegetables, braised potatoes in butter, blanched spinach, stir-fried beef, and garlic ribs? Is that enough?"

"I just need enough portions. But did you just invent braised potatoes with butter...?"

"I invented it, but it's not something I just invented. It's delicious."

"I trust you, let's go, let's get started. Where's the staple food?"

How about the hand-pulled noodles?

"Ok, Ok."

So... for some reason, the assistants had nothing to do for a while after helping to wash the vegetables.

I'm a little unsure whether having a boss who likes to cook for you is a kind of happiness.

Xiaoyou wasn't quite sure, but Xiaoze was very certain, since at least they would get to enjoy the food.

Of course, their training for the food show was one reason, but another reason was that the operating space inside the RV was relatively limited, and it was not convenient for so many people to squeeze together.

However, we can make some preparations first, such as setting up a dining table outside and setting up the tents for camping at night.

As expected, the braised potatoes with butter were a resounding success!

This is somewhat similar to a coarse version of mashed potatoes. In fact, it's very similar to butter-boiled potatoes, except that some spices and scallions are added and it's simmered for a while, making it softer and more flavorful.

It can be said to be a very good combination of Chinese and Western styles.

The new fish tasted good, and Ye Sanqing was really finding some enjoyment in it.

I feel that hanging out with Sheng Hanyu means I often encounter new and exciting things.

Although most of them are fish.

But the fish should indeed be fresh.

What with what...

Lu Wangshen's message interrupted her thoughts, and just then she finished eating.

"I'll go answer the phone first," Ye Sanqing told Sheng Hanyu, and then walked into the RV alone.

While there's no need to keep it a secret, it's definitely better to talk privately in situations like this.

"You're putting me in a difficult position. Do you know how many people I'll offend if I do this?"

"Hello, you're the one asking for my help, shouldn't I be able to negotiate?"

"Now I really hope you'll agree to date me."
