With global currency devaluation, I'll wear these back and take my whole family flying!

Buddha Jumps Over the Wall with Pu'er tea is probably the highest standard of hospitality served to guests at home.

Jiang Yuanliang nodded and praised as he ate, "Delicious, better than many restaurants."

Shen Jingjing sat opposite him, watching him cautiously. With each bite he took, she instinctively felt anxious.

"Mom, stop staring at Uncle Jiang. He said it's delicious. Why are you still so anxious?" Shen Ci said softly.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yuanliang looked up and caught Shen Jingjing awkwardly turning her eyes away. She glared at her daughter before saying, "I'm afraid he'll have an allergic reaction."

"Ha ha……"

Jiang Yuanliang immediately laughed and quickly explained, "Don't worry, I'm not allergic to seafood. My allergen is chia seeds."

Chia seeds?

The group was taken aback, then exchanged glances, thinking to themselves, "What a niche allergen."

Jiang Yuanliang took out a piece of paper, wiped his mouth with a refined gesture, stood up, and said to Shen Jingjing, "Thank you for your hospitality, Ms. Shen. It was delicious."

"You are welcome."

It was getting late, and Jiang Yuanliang said goodbye once again. Shen Jingjing warmly saw him to the door and nodded to him in farewell.

Only after Jiang Yuanliang left did Shen Jingjing finally relax completely.

Turning around, he looked at the two children with a helpless expression and said, "You two are really something. Mr. Jiang is a big boss. How can he just let people stay at his house for dinner?"

"So what?" Shen Ci blinked indifferently, "I didn't see him eat less."

Shen Xing also said, "That's right, it's delicious just because it's a big boss. It won't become bad just because he's a big boss."

Shen Jingjing shook her head speechlessly, but in the end, she really owed it to Mr. Jiang to make this blind date happen; otherwise, she didn't know how long they would have argued about it.

After clearing the dishes and chopsticks, Shen Ci was about to go to the kitchen to clean when she saw this and quickly pulled her mother aside, saying, "Mom, you leave it there, I'll wash it later. I have something to tell you."

Shen Jingjing looked at her daughter with confusion: "What's wrong?"

"My sister is leaving early the day after tomorrow," Shen Xing said first.

"The day after tomorrow? Isn't it a holiday for National Day?"

Shen Ci nodded and told her mother about her sister's current situation.

Upon hearing this, Shen Jingjing nodded gently: "That is indeed a serious matter. Ali has always been gentle and inexperienced. If you go, Mom will feel much more at ease."

Shen Ci knew her mother would support her, but she felt a little guilty for breaking her promise to leave after the holiday: "I promised to spend more time with you..."

"Oh dear..." Upon hearing her daughter's words, Shen Jingjing quickly interrupted her, feigning impatience: "Don't do this. You've been back for several days now, and Mom is starting to get a little annoyed. It's good that you're leaving now."

Just as he finished speaking, the phone rang.

"It must be your grandma, she's going to nag me again." Shen Jingjing sighed impatiently, and before turning to go inside, she reminded Shen Ci, "Wash the dishes and clean the kitchen."

Shen Ci smiled as she watched her mother's retreating figure, then turned to Shen Xing and commanded, "Go!"

Shen Xing pouted: "I knew it."

The cast and crew of "Destiny is Phoenix".

Dressing Room No. 3.

"What does the publicity team mean? Why haven't they released any promotional photos of me yet? Why?!"

Ren Jia held her phone, and on the screen was the third wave of promotional photos released today. Many fans of the original work and the actors' fans were waiting to refresh the page at nine o'clock in the morning, hoping to see their favorite characters' first-hand behind-the-scenes photos.

Ren Jia, who plays the second female lead, was furious when she discovered that the third set of promotional photos still didn't feature her.

She glared at her assistant Xiaoya and demanded, "The first wave was Song Yun'er and Xu Junhuan, the second wave was Gao Fei and Sun Yalun, shouldn't the third wave be me?"

"What is this? Why are Song Anyu and Shen Li the third male and fourth female? How did you communicate with the publicity team?!"

Everyone on the team knows Ren Jia's temper. When she gets angry, it's devastating, and her assistant Xiao Ya is the first to suffer, since these kinds of things are usually Xiao Ya's job.

Xiaoya lowered her head, looking terrified, and explained in a low voice, "I mentioned it to the publicity team, hoping they could release our promotional photos in a second wave. They just said they'd consider it. I thought that since the publicity team is from 'Golden Star,' they'd definitely side with us since we're from the same company. I don't know why they're doing this."

"If you don't know, why don't you go ask?" Ren Jia shouted angrily, "What am I feeding you all for!"

Xiaoya shrank back in fright and quickly nodded, "Okay, I'll go ask right away."

Ren Jia was furious. She was very satisfied with the set of stills, especially the promotional photos with Bai Yu. Her team wanted to take the opportunity to create some buzz and attract more fans to the couple, but so far, they haven't even had a chance to show their faces.

Keep in mind that after joining the production team, she had few opportunities for exposure for more than half a year. She relied on promotional photos to get noticed by the audience. If others had photos but she didn't, her fans might be drawn away by others, and they might even forget that she was in the show.

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became, and the more anxious she became, especially when she saw the promotional posts about Song Anyu and Shen Li today, with a flood of positive reviews. She was filled with envy.

Shen Li, in particular, looks incredibly lifelike in the photos; she's practically a living, breathing version of the character "Hua Xixi."

The most upvoted comment among the positive reviews was, "Oh my god, this is exactly the Hua Xixi I've always imagined!"

Gentle, soft, and pitiful.

Female fans exclaimed that Hua Xixi had come back to life after seeing this.

Male fans were instantly overcome with protectiveness upon seeing this.

The official account even commented directly, "Straight from the camera, no post-processing!"

The hashtag instantly went viral, trending with the headline: "Newcomer actress plays Hua Xixi, original stills amaze fans!"

Immediately afterwards, the hashtag "Shen Li, the actress who plays Hua Xixi" rose to the top, climbing to second place on the trending search list in just half an hour!

Shen Li's personal super topic was quickly established, and her personal accounts across all platforms were also discovered. In less than an hour, the number of followers across all platforms had exceeded two million.

"Ah Li, you're famous! You're famous!"

Xiaoyun excitedly scrolled through the trending topics on her phone, saying excitedly, "The first batch of leaked photos received no negative reviews online, it's amazing, Ali!"

Shen Li was a little dazed. Before this, she had never thought that she would make a splash in the promotional photos. But seeing the overwhelming trending topics on the Internet, she belatedly realized that she might have become famous.

WeChat messages kept popping up; almost everyone she'd known since childhood was sending her messages, but she had no idea how to reply.

"What's wrong, Ali? Are you unhappy?"

Seeing that Ali was staring blankly without reacting, Xiaoyun asked worriedly.

Shen Li snapped out of her reverie and smiled, "I'm happy, very happy."
