In fact, what Director Li said was very true, and Song Zhisheng agreed with it.

In this mission, it was never said that they had to compete for first place. All they had to do was rack their brains to prevent their group from being at the bottom.

If you want to avoid being at the bottom, there are many ways to work hard.

It depends on whether you put your mind to it or not.

Director Li has said this much. If Jiang Miaotong still doesn't understand that he means she is lazy, then her brain is in vain.

Her face turned pale and she closed her mouth, not daring to make a sound.

Even if she has support, she cannot afford to offend the power behind Director Li.

Perhaps he finally realized that the atmosphere at the dinner table was too silent, and Director Li suddenly laughed out loud.

"Everyone, don't be so serious. I'm saying this just because I hope everyone can work hard. If you're too lazy, there won't be many scenes left to edit. After all, we're recording a show, and we have to focus on ratings."

Director Li first raised a glass to celebrate with everyone, and then said all this in one breath.

It's no different from giving a sweet date a slap in the face. Anyway, the meal can only be eaten after the bill is settled.

Song Zhisheng listened quietly to Director Li's speech. During the speech, his eyes inadvertently glanced at the braised lion head and egg drop soup in front of him several times.

She was really hungry, but since her leader didn't say anything, she couldn't just pick up her chopsticks.

Fu Linxing knew that Song Zhisheng was greedy, and he felt a little distressed when he saw Song Zhisheng looking hungry and wanting to eat.

He was about to suggest that we start eating, but Director Li suddenly felt guilty and spoke up.

"It's getting late now, everyone should hurry up and start eating."

Director Li created this dating variety show for the sake of ratings, so he just said a few words to cheer everyone up and didn't say anything more.

Seeing that he could finally eat, Song Zhisheng happily picked up his chopsticks and picked up a braised lion's head.

The others also started to pick up their chopsticks. After Xiao Zhi had been silent for a long time, he took a few bites and suddenly seemed to think of something. He looked up at Director Li.

"Didn't they say the punishment mission would also take place here? What is the punishment?"

Upon hearing this, Song Zhisheng took another bite, then put down his chopsticks and looked at Director Li.

Director Li slapped his forehead and forgot about this matter because he was so engrossed in his lecture.

He glanced at the group of people. They had been busy all afternoon and had lunch early, so they looked really hungry now.

Especially his money tree. He put down his chopsticks and his eyes unconsciously fell on the dish.

Director Li immediately said, "Eat first. It won't be too late to punish him after he's almost finished eating."

His ratings depend on Song Zhisheng, so he would never let her go hungry.

Song Zhisheng was immediately happy and lowered his head to continue eating.

Fu Linxing looked at her twice, then looked away for fear of being discovered. When he glanced at Xiao Zhi out of the corner of his eye, his face showed dissatisfaction.

He has no sense at all. How can I compete with him?

Xiao Zhi also knew that he had not considered it carefully, but this did not prevent him from looking at him coldly when Xiao Zhi showed dissatisfaction.

His eyes fell on the bouquet of flowers placed behind Fu Linxing, and his look of contempt and disdain was obvious.

The two of them were like childish children, hostile to each other and looking down on each other.

As time went by, the atmosphere at the dinner table gradually became harmonious and less tense.

Whenever Meng Changyao finds something delicious, she will recommend it to Song Zhisheng.

Song Zhisheng nodded and ate. When picking up the dishes, considering that Ji Ning couldn't reach them, he used the serving chopsticks to help pick up some.

Ji Ning looked at him gently and whispered a thank you. He became more and more integrated into the atmosphere and felt much more at ease.

She looked down at the lean meat in the bowl, picked it up with chopsticks and ate it slowly.

Finally, the vegetables in this bowl are not tasteless.

Ji Ning has been under strict supervision since she was a child and has few friends. Once she wants to refuse such overly strong demands, she will be morally blackmailed by her parents and criticized from a high ground.

She thought she had compromised long ago.

I didn't expect that there was still some resistance in my heart.

She lowered her eyes and looked at the small scar on her hand. The gentleness in her eyes disappeared and her mood became a little cold, but her chopsticks continued to put food into her mouth without stopping.

Now, even looking at the scar on her hand that served as a 'reminder', she was no longer willing to compromise.

She wants a warm and vibrant life and never wants to be a puppet again.

Song Zhisheng was eating the plate of sweet and sour pork ribs in the distance, and suddenly said with a smile.

"This dish is not as delicious as Brother Xiao's."

Meng Changyao immediately laughed and joked, "Look, Zhisheng is still craving for sweet and sour pork ribs."

Ji Ning turned her head to look over, watching the two of them talking and laughing. The coldness in her eyes dissipated and became gentle again.

"Indeed, I've said that many times."

Song Zhisheng was teased by the two, and his face was full of sincerity: "I am just telling the truth."

On the one hand, it was to stimulate Xiao Zhi's emotions, and on the other hand, it was to remind Xiao Zhi not to forget the recipe he promised her.

After trying all kinds of delicacies from land and sea, Song Zhisheng found that home-cooked dishes were more delicious.

She has collected many home-cooked dishes at home, but every time she tastes something else, she still feels that what she has at home is not enough.

Xiao Zhi's face, which had been cold for a long time, suddenly smiled.

He did not respond to Song Zhisheng, but looked at Director Li with a smile:

"We agreed to show off my cooking skills when I joined the dating show, but now I'm eating out for every meal or two. I can't even show off in front of the female guests."

"Look, someone's unhappy, right?"

Xiao Zhi looked helpless on the surface, but he was actually very happy in his heart.

Fortunately, thanks to his excellent cooking skills, Song Zhisheng will pay more attention to him.

This is an obvious advantage.

Even if Fu Linxing wanted to compete with him, he would have to wait and see how far he would be left behind.

Director Li looked at his fully recovered appearance and cursed with a smile:

"You little brat, there will be plenty of opportunities for you to cook in the future."

You are still showing off to him here. I hope you won’t be so miserable that you can’t speak when you get to the next stop.

The table was filled with laughter. Director Li couldn't help but pour another glass of white wine and laughed:

"Come on, have another drink!"

Everyone raised their glasses, and the crisp sound of glasses clinking together rang out again.

Song Zhisheng had almost finished eating by now, so he just picked up the half cup of juice and drank it all in one gulp, looking very happy.

Director Li looked at her movements with a sharp gaze and suddenly asked:

"Zhisheng can drink, right?"

Song Zhisheng put down the cup and his expression froze for a moment when he heard this question.

In particular, all the familiar female and male guests around her looked at her at this moment.

After a moment of hesitation, she nodded bluntly: "Yes."

"The red one? Or is it all okay?" Director Li asked again.

Song Zhisheng smiled: "It's all right."

Song Zhisheng can drink, or rather, people in her hometown can drink a lot.

She even had a nickname in the past, Song Qianbei.

In the original plot, when they were having dinner and drinking together later, in order to create a weak image, she pretended to say that she could get drunk after one glass of wine and could not drink at all.

She approached the male guests in a particularly shy and artificial manner.

When Song Zhisheng thinks about it now, he still can't understand his own train of thought in the plot.
