Chapter 1716: Mooching a Meal

“Come sit here, we’re discussing the plot. If you’re not bored, have a listen. You’ve invested in this show too, so consider yourself one of us.”

Director Chen chimed in, “Yes! If President Bo has any opinions after listening, feel free to guide us; you can say anything!”

Bo Yanching said, “I wouldn’t dare to guide, but I’m genuinely interested. Don’t worry about me being here, everyone should feel free.”

Director Chen smiled knowingly. He favored this kind of investor, someone with a strong background and extensive channels. When it’s time to pass the review and expand the show, the path becomes much easier with fewer issues.

President Mo and Miss Lu also invested. At first, Producer Zhou sent them scripts, but those two big shots didn’t glance at them, letting them be, and notifying they should speak if lacking funds.

After years in the industry, Director Chen found increasing success, especially after collaborating with Chu Yao. Even though the female lead of this show wasn’t Chu Yao, they were still willing to invest, affirming his ability to direct.

Soon enough, Producer Zhou returned.

In fact, the food wasn’t bad; with sufficient funds for this show, Director Chen didn’t skimp on the meals. The chefs prepared all the food uniformly; whatever actors ate, the extras ate too.

Bo Yanching’s portion even had an extra serving of clear soup added.

Their conversation flowed lively here, while others felt waves of shock internally. Being insiders, many recalled past gossip about Bo Yanching and Yi Qinghuan discussing marriage. No one knows which part leaked the news, but it felt credible. There were even rumors that Yi Qinghuan was sent abroad for further studies by Bo Yanching, respecting his girlfriend’s wishes. Everyone assumed they’d marry once Yi Qinghuan returned, but reliable news hasn’t emerged until now.

However, despite the rumors, they lingered. Although Bo Yanching and Yi Qinghuan weren’t seated together, the way the lady looked at him was enough to imagine a drama of lovesickness and longing.

“I’m so envious of Screenwriter Yi! Good family background, high education, impressive resume, and nearly marrying President Bo. Their success drives me crazy with jealousy!”

“What do you mean nearly? What if they want to stay low-key and are talking in private?”

“Ahhhh~~~ No, I don’t want to hear it. As long as there’s no public interaction, they’re married. Screenwriter Yi was born a white rich beauty, letting a rich handsome man… that’s not impossible, right!”

Ye Linlin listened in, holding her lunchbox up to join the gossip, disregarding any elegant manners, she ate and gossiped, occasionally reacting with “Oh,” “Really?,” “Ah, truly.”

Then she turned and consolidated the gossip she heard with Nan Jiaojiao, as if only she could hear it, while others were deaf.

“Do you eat fish? There are no small bones.”

Nan Jiaojiao picked up a piece of fish tail, intending to put it into Ye Linlin’s lunchbox.

“I don’t eat.”

Nan Jiaojiao took it back.

“If you don’t eat, I won’t give it to you!”

Ye Linlin picked it up herself, deliberately snatching the piece of fish belly Nan Jiaojiao wanted to save for last.

Too bad before she could put it in her own lunchbox, Nan Jiaojiao swiftly snatched two pieces of Dongpo pork from her.

“That was what I saved! Give it back to me!”

Ye Linlin extended her chopsticks to grab, forgetting about placing the fish, allowing Nan Jiaojiao to take it away, nearly making her furious, “You miser!”

Nan Jiaojiao asked, “Then do you eat fish?”

“I told you I had a crush on Bo Yanching, and you’re asking me if I eat fish!”

Ye Linlin was really mad, her voice uncontrolled, shouting it out loud enough for miles to hear.

The scene fell silent.

Bo Yanching raised an eyebrow, gazing in this direction with a leisurely glance.
