I'm crazy, don't mess with me. I just love to pretend to be crazy, remember that.

Director Zheng looked at everyone sighing and groaning, cleared his throat, and said, "Don't blame me for being heartless. Your agents just told me a couple of days ago that the food I've been giving you these past few days has been too good, and they asked me to help you all lose some weight."

Everyone: "..."

6!

Ji Mingxuan, being the outspoken boy he is, asked, "Is this food for the chickens?"

Director Zheng coldly sneered, "That's all. Take it or leave it."

In order to have the energy for physical training in the afternoon, everyone could only tearfully eat shrimp fried rice without any shrimp.

After lunch, there is a two-hour lunch break.

Everyone else had almost finished eating and went back to rest one after another. Just as Pei Li was about to put down his chopsticks, Si Qian, the dog, sneakily pulled him to an inconspicuous corner to squat down.

Shh, don't make a sound!

Si Qian crouched mysteriously in the corner like a thief, seemingly protecting something in her arms.

Seeing her like this, Pei Li immediately became anxious and asked, "What's wrong?"

To everyone's surprise, Si Qian suddenly pulled out the bowl she had been protecting from her arms as if by magic. Inside was half a chicken that looked tender and falling off the bone, emitting an enticing aroma that made one's mouth water.

Pei Li was stunned: "Where did the chicken come from?"

Si Qian quickly tore off a chicken leg and stuffed it into Pei Li's hand.

"It's from legitimate channels, so you can eat it without worry."

After she finished speaking, she began to gnaw on the food with relish.

After the two finished eating, Si Qian handed Pei Li a tissue to wipe his hands.

"Come on, let me take you to get some soup."

After taking two bowls, the two went to the iron bucket where the free soup was kept.

Si Qian held a bowl in one hand and a spoon in the other, muttering to herself:

"Don't panic when making soup, or you'll end up with nothing but soup. Scoop it all out in one go, slowly lifting it from the edge..."

And so, Pei Li watched as Si Qian ladled out a large bowl of egg drop soup for him, which was full of seaweed and egg drop soup.

There wasn't a drop of soup in it, it was all ingredients.

Has the imperial court's disaster relief grain arrived?

As Si Qian's loyal customer and devoted fan, Pei Li was good at providing emotional support: "Mr. Krabs, you're amazing!"

Si Qian was flattered by his praise: "It's all based on my experience."

After taking a sip, Pei Li continued to praise, "Mr. Krabs' cooking is still the best; he can even make egg drop soup that tastes like chicken soup!"

"You flatter me!"

After eating and drinking their fill, the two went back to rest.

at the same time--

The cafeteria of an unknown company.

The vegetable server, realizing the chicken was missing from the bucket, rushed to the kitchen in a panic: "Something terrible has happened, supervisor!"

Supervisor: "What's wrong?"

Auntie: "Our lobby manager has been bailed out!!"

Supervisor: "What?!"

……

Completely unaware that she had taken the lobby manager away and devoured him, Si Qian appeared like a ghost in Director Zheng's lounge.

"Qian, is something the matter?"

Si Qian pulled up a chair and sat down opposite Director Zheng, then grabbed a tissue from the table and wiped her eyes.

Director Zheng was startled to find Si Qian's eyes red and teary.

"What's wrong? Why are you crying?"

He hurriedly stood up to comfort Si Qian, but Si Qian just looked up and held back her tears: "Director Zheng... I'm just feeling down... I have something to tell you, can you keep it a secret for me?"

"Alright, alright! Tell me, tell me!"

Director Zheng was afraid that she might do something foolish.

Si Qian seemed lost in some kind of memory: "That year, after graduating from university, the girl entered the entertainment industry, and the boy returned to his hometown. Three years after they separated, an accident occurred. The boy was trapped in a fire, and the girl ignored the flames and walked into the fire—"

Director Zheng's heart skipped a beat, and his heart jumped into his throat.

He had a vague sense of unease, and looking at Si Qian, who was choking with sobs, he roughly understood what was going on.

"and after?"

"Later, the girl successfully rescued the boy from the fire. The boy asked the girl where she had been for the past three years. The girl just turned around and smiled. It turned out that she had gone to the set of the TV show 'Love You Till I Die.' The 'Love You Till I Die' set didn't provide her with air conditioning, so she developed an incredible heat tolerance there!"

"..."

"..."

Director Zheng: "...???"

I'm asking you this!

Director Zheng, who only realized what was happening after a while, blushed on the spot.

Director Zheng's chest heaved violently: "Come on! Tell me why this man was trapped in the fire!"

Si Qian: "Because this man's name is Song Huozhan."

Enraged, Director Zheng pointed to the door: "Get out of here with that stick!"

Why doesn't she just say that she was the Monkey King who forged the Will of Fire in Laozi's alchemy furnace?!

God has no idea how attentively he was listening!

I'm too lazy to argue anymore, he wants to call the police!

When Si Qian left, she didn't forget to take the director's small fan with her.

……

Inside the room, Pei Li was sitting on the balcony watching the housekeeper send him the new design drawings for the rooftop greenhouse of the manor.

The glass greenhouse on the roof of his manor is still not finished, so he recently hired a designer to redesign it.

Butler: [Sir, is this acceptable? If so, I will transfer the remaining payment to the designer.]

Pei Li: [The designer recommended this to me; I'll personally revise some of the details.]

Butler: [An unknown interior designer in Beijing]

After Pei Li added the other party using a secondary account, he immediately sent them his requests.

An unknown designer from Beijing: [OK.]

Less than ten minutes later, the other side sent over a pre-designed drawing.

Pei Li was very satisfied with the design drawings and planned to pay the remaining balance to the other party.

Open the transfer section —

*shallow.

Pei Li: "??"

Pei Li stared at the *shallow after the transfer for a long time, completely bewildered.

This shallow thing... could it be...?

Si Qian, who had just sent the design drawings to customer service, stretched while sitting in front of her laptop and immediately typed a line in the chat box.

An unknown interior designer in Beijing: [Sir, if there are no problems, could you please pay the remaining balance?]

li: [Open the door.]

Before Si Qian could figure out what those words meant, there was a knock on her bedroom door.

As soon as Si Qian walked over and opened the door, Pei Li shoved his phone into her hand and opened a picture.

"An unknown designer in Beijing?"

Looking at the familiar picture, Si Qian paused for a moment.

"it's me."

The two of them were truly speechless now.

Si Qian invited the person inside, and Pei Li sighed helplessly.

"Mr. Krabs, the design is great, but I'm hesitant to use it."

"why?"

"Because the greenhouse you fixed for me last time is still leaking."

Si Qian: "..."

She gets angry just thinking about what happened last time.

"Your greenhouse design was flawed from the start. I was able to fix it that day, but the flooring your contractor used was faulty. They cut corners, and the nails cracked as soon as I hammered them in, which caused the water to leak in. Besides, your greenhouse is on the top floor, which is obviously a slope, but the drain is high up, so the water can't drain out at all. No wonder it leaks."

"I told you that day that your house had quality problems, but you just wouldn't believe me!"

Pei Li was shocked: "How did you know there was a problem on your first visit?"

"Nonsense, my sister supervised the construction of the branch office building that Li's Group built three years ago. She even drew the blueprints herself. Do you think I wouldn't be able to tell if there were any problems?"
