Manchu Han Imperial Feast
She didn’t understand why he was so hung up over a meal but Su Shen no longer deferred it and insipidly smiled, “Then are you free today?”
Fan Meng, who was just about to leave, suddenly heard these words. Looking at Su Shen with a sneer, she just knew that this scheming bi*ch acted all noble on the surface but her true colors were now revealed nonetheless.
“Yes.”
Fan Meng paused in her steps and pursed her lips. She glanced at Xie Yan somewhat reluctantly but ultimately, walked away in her 10 cm heels.
She just knew that men nowadays were all the same, usually acting well-disciplined but would pounce when they see a young and beautiful one.
“Wang Cheng said there’s a pretty good Thai restaurant next door, do you want to eat there?” She asked softly.
Xie Yan paused for a sec upon hearing that and insipidly said while looking at her, “It’s probably not as good as your cooking.”
Su Shen didn’t expect him to flatter her and couldn’t help but laugh, “I’ll make a Manchu Han imperial feast for you today then.”
At this, Xie Yan smiled slightly and didn’t take it seriously.
After glancing at Fan Meng’s departed figure, Su Shen turned around and walked back into the lounge. It’s not for sure that she had to recompense for this dress. Liu jie seemed to have a pretty good relationship with this brand so it shouldn’t reach the point of having to recompense.
Moreover, there weren’t any cameras in the lounge so it couldn’t capture the moment where Fan Meng stepped on her dress either. Even if it was caught on tape and exposed, it was useless since it would only squander her image with the netizens. Her diehard fans would still support her and her resources would also remain unchanged.
For an actor’s reputation to be ruined, it was either they had cheated, two-timed, ** or used those things*. Fan Meng wasn’t that clean of a person. In this industry, nothing was concealed. There were quite a lot of directors and male models connected to her. As if Su Shen would expose her stepping on her dress, this way it was neither painful nor caused an itch. It was either don’t move or move — resulting in a one hit KO.

After asking Xie Yan for his phone, she then called Liu jie. The latter was still chatting with a few news outlets and said that she would be coming over very soon.
Zhao Tong soon came back, panting and sweating profusely. He bought a red dress saying as he didn’t know what style to buy, he just chose one directly from that store’s latest seasonal collection.
There was a branded store next to the hotel. Su Shen immediately knew the price of the dress once she saw the brand, it was at least 50,000.
After she changed into the new dress, Liu jie just happened to arrive. Su Shen immediately asked for her phone so she could transfer the money back to Zhao Tong.
“This isn’t my money, it’s Yan ge’s money. You can transfer it to him.” Zhao Tong quickly waved his hands for her not to transfer the money to him.
Su Shen was taken aback and looked at Xie Yan on the side. Then, she silently looked down and transferred the money back to him.
“Thank you for your trouble today, otherwise Su Shen might not have even been able to participate in the group photo.” Liu jie smiled and looked at Xie Yan with a polite and friendly expression.
The latter’s expression remained unchanged, “It was not much.”
Liu jie looked at Su Shen and pulled her forward, “Hopefully you guys can work together again if an opportunity arises. With such a great veteran actor, Su Shen will definitely learn a lot.”
Liu jie went on a tangent of courteous remarks. Su Shen also followed with a smile, “Yes, there are a lot of things worth learning from Xie lao shi.”
“Yan ge, it’s time to go on stage!” Just at this time, a staff member outside suddenly shouted in a hurry.
At this, Liu jie quickly fiddled a bit with Su Shen’s hair and was quite satisfied seeing as this dress complemented well with her figure.
Seeing Xie Yan walking in front, Su Shen immediately had Xiao Zhou return to her condo first and go downstairs to buy some ingredients back, else it’d be too late if she were to buy it herself later.
She’s preparing to invite Wang Cheng and the others to dinner as well and have to also give a call to Tong Le later too. That girl had been making a ruckus to come over and eat, but her schedule had been too packed.
At this time, the stage was already filled with the key creative team of the film crew. There were rows and rows of cameras below the stage and the MC was in the midst of adjusting everyone’s position. The position of where one stood was very particular. The ones near the director were definitely the leading actors and those having a higher status stood in front. This reflected an actor’s status.
Even though Wang Cheng was very popular, he still had to stand behind Li Hao. A person’s position depended on a comprehensive list of factors, it wasn’t something determined by the likes of popularity.
The people on stage were walking back and forth, super chaotic. Su Shen’s high heels were very high so she was cautious and careful when she was going up on stage. When her arm was suddenly supported by a large hand, she didn’t turn around and was directly supported by that person up to the stage.
“Xie Yan, quickly come here!” Li Hao, over there, was already yelling.
Su Shen planned to go stand at the back but Xie Yan’s hand kept pulling her arm, leading her straight toward the director.
“Come here, you’re the most handsome so I’ll let you stand in front!” Li Hao jokingly stepped aside to make space while the others laughed in response.
The director stood there motionless with everyone standing around him. When he saw Xie Yan pulling Su Shen over, he smiled and beckoned to Su Shen, “Come here, you two beauties come and stand by my side.”
He pointed at Fan Meng but the latter arched an eyebrow and immediately casted her sight on Su Shen. She saw that she had changed into a fiery crimson knee-length dress with the contrast complementing her complexion to be even fairer in addition to that pair of slender legs, Fan Meng’s frown furrowed even more and kept silent.
Su Shen didn’t expect the director to have her stand beside him but nevertheless, she didn’t decline. She went over and stood on his left while Fan Meng stood on his right.
“Xie Yan, stand next to Su Shen and accompany our beautiful lady!” The director glanced at Xie Yan meaningfully.
After so many years of filming, he has reached the pinnacle of noticing even the slightest change in emotion and the particularity of each individual. But it was only today that he discovered the peculiarity between the two of them.
“I’m scared to even stand behind Su Shen now, I’m like charcoal* compared to her. Remember to photoshop me later during the post-editing!” Li Hao stood behind Su Shen in the second row and their complexions were indeed miles apart.
TL note* – The beauty standards in Asia are vastly different from the West, I hope everyone doesn’t get offended and take this with a grain of salt. Everyone is beautiful in their own skin! xoxo plum
