If someone photographed their expressions then, it would certainly become very effective as an advertisement for food.
Was it…really that delicious?
Zhao Liangying’s mind went blank. The people in front of her were all accomplished figures in the entertainment circle, yet a bowl of porridge made them like that?
Even the ever-calm Sister Feifei went crazy. She had never seen Sister Feifei eat something with such a blatant disregard of her image.
However, the next moment–
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
Everyone’s eyes focused on her at almost the same time, or rather, the bowl of porridge in her hands!
The tremendous pressure made her cower her neck weakly and retreat two steps back.
“Ying’er, you have anorexia, and if you don’t want to eat it, don’t force yourself. Let me help you eat it.” Chen Meijia had already raised her hand and barely stopped short of grabbing it.
“Meijia, you’re a girl, you must keep in shape! Let me do this kind of thing!” Lu Xiaobu said immediately.
“Your words are wrong! You men in the entertainment industry should also pay attention to your figure! In my opinion, it’s better for me to eat this bowl of porridge,” Li Tai could not help but interject.
“It’s just a bowl of porridge. How could it affect my figure?” Chen Chichi laughed loudly. “I’ll eat this porridge.”
Everyone remarked one after another, ready to pounce if Zhao Liangying nodded.
“I didn’t say I wouldn’t eat.”
Zhao Liangying said quickly. She did not dare to be careless and raised her hand to take a sip.
“Mm!”
That mouthful immediately prompted her to let out a low moan. Fresh and tender fish melted in her mouth, while silky porridge swam like silk with the rice grains dancing on the tip of her tongue.
All in all, it was delicious!
It was much better than all the delicacies she ate before!
Eat it! She must eat it!
She had forgotten everything, picked up the porridge, then gulped it all down!
“Whoa, so delicious!”
In just five seconds, she emptied the entire bowl of porridge and her little face turned red. After seeing everyone’s perplexed looks, she could not help but let out a “Yeah” and blush.
During that period, she was too hungry, as she had never eaten a decent meal. Besides, she was a full-fledged foodie herself, so it was agonizing for her.
Unexpectedly, the porridge’s sheer deliciousness suppressed her anorexia and left her with a lingering aftertaste. It displayed the full extent of its deliciousness.
“Young Master Ye, the porridge you made is really delicious.” Zhao Liangying went directly to Ye Lingchen’s side and even stretched out her slender hand to massage him. “I’m really lucky to be able to eat your delicious food. In the past, I was an ignorant little girl, but please don’t take offense. From now on… I hope you don’t mind if I come and get a free meal.”
A single bowl of porridge led Zhao Liangying to betray herself, and her position changed drastically.
Whatever pompousness, whatever loss in the card game, and whatever unspoken rules had all gone down the drain.
As an experienced foodie, she could abandon everything just for the sake of eating. It was not like Young Master Ye was forbidden from breaking those unspoken rules if he wanted to. Zhao Liangying had to first calculate how many meals he would need to cook for her.
Having been tortured by her anorexia, she felt a heavenly satisfaction at that moment and felt like she had turned into the happiest person in the world.
…
Although it was only a bowl of porridge that did not seem like much, after eating it, everyone could neither say that they were full nor felt hungry. It was known that many people there could eat at least two or even three bowls usually.
The reason was naturally because of the ingredients that Ye Lingchen added. A bowl of porridge contained plenty of nutrients, which were more than enough to fill them.
Ring-ding-ding!
While everyone was sitting idle and chatting together, Xiao Feifei’s cell phone rang.
“It’s Durian TV.”
Xiao Feifei’s brow furrowed slightly and Li Tai was also taken aback. As the saying went, ‘one would not visit the temple without a cause’, so receiving a call at that juncture was not a good sign.
“Just pick it up,” Ye Lingchen said faintly. He remembered Xiao Feifei telling him that it was Durian TV who accepted iPartment for broadcasting.
Xiao Feifei nodded and answered the phone.
“Chairman He, hello.”
“Hello, Princess Xiao. Regarding the time that we discussed last time regarding iPartment, after some discussion on our side, the time will probably be delayed.”
“Delayed? What do you mean?” Xiao Feifei’s voice sank slightly.
“Originally, it was set for the timeslot from seven to nine o’clock, but unfortunately, this slot has been set for For My Love. You will only get the timeslot from ten to twelve o’clock.” Chairman He’s tone suggested that he was giving them a notice instead of discussing things with them.
“Chairman He, we’ve already agreed to this timeslot, and you’ve promised it too. It’s only been a month and you’re changing as and when you please?” Xiao Feifei’s imposingness came at once.
“Hehe, Princess Xiao, the situation forced us into doing so and we can’t help it. If you don’t like it, you can change to another TV station. We sympathize, but our hands are tied.” Chairman He said trivially.
“You—”
Xiao Feifei still had a lot to say, but the phone was directly snatched away by Ye Lingchen, who remarked curtly, “Chairman He, right? I’ll have you know that iPartment will not be shown on your TV station! I’d also like to remind you that from this moment onward, your Durian TV’s position as the leading station will not last long!”
After saying that, he hung up the phone directly.
“Lingchen, you…” Xiao Feifei looked at Ye Lingchen and did not know what to say. He knew that Ye Lingchen was in a bad mood and could not help but utter weakly, “Sorry, I messed it all up.”
Ye Lingchen waved his hand indifferently. “Why are you apologizing to me? You didn’t do anything wrong. I’m pissed off. They’re just a TV station but they have the balls to look down on others!”
Everyone was a little speechless. What did he mean by ‘just a TV station?’ It was Durian TV, the leading figure among TV stations, but Ye Lingchen not only answered them straightforwardly but even threatened them! He was just too freaking amazing!
Zhao Liangying looked at Ye Lingchen and was incredibly shocked. It turned out that he was imposing toward anyone, and was not actually targeting her specifically.
“I accord plenty of respect toward anyone if they just respect me a little, but if anyone commits a misdeed against me, I’ll make them regret it!” Ye Lingchen said lightly. “Durian TV obviously didn’t take us seriously. If he could breach the contract once, he can breach it a second time. Does he think he’s so great just because he’s the leading TV station? Our show can be popular anywhere. Why must we be at his service?”
“Feifei, next time, you don’t need to be at any TV station’s service, let alone beg them for help. From now on, only the TV stations will be begging for you! This is easy. They slap you; you slap back!”
