Divorced and Determined: The CEO's Ex-Wife Fights for Love-Chapter 224

Chapter 224

Peng Kai took out his 50,000 yuan pay for the day and asked Lu Qin to specifically come to Flower and Fruit Mountain Park to set up his food cart?

Although it didn’t matter where the cart was set up, the priority would definitely be for the crew members. The outside customers would likely have to make do with just the “wind” from the cart.

The customers at Lu Ji’s food cart were all well-off, unafraid to spend their wife’s allowance. So why should he only sell to the crew?

Just because they were famous actors?

As a principled businessman, Lu Qin knew that fairness was key. While Lu Qin was pondering, Shu Man’er also jumped in.

“Mr. Lu, I’ll give you my pay for tomorrow if you come and set up your food cart here!”

Shu Man’er said this with a sincere look, her voice carrying a hint of playfulness. She even blinked her big eyes.

Lu Qin was speechless.

Who is she fooling?

Lu Qin remained unfazed. The difference between this female star and a rich woman was clear.

Peng Kai tugged at Lu Qin’s arm and whispered, “Mr. Lu, Shu Man’er is the lead actress. Her pay is very high, probably around 100,000 yuan a day.”

100,000 yuan? Add Peng Kai’s 50,000 yuan, and that’s 150,000 yuan. Hmm, that could be worth considering.

Principles could be bent when the offer was good enough.

Lu Qin nodded and agreed. He needed to prepare more food for tomorrow and also plan for a portion to be set up outside for Xiaomi to run.

The producer watched Peng Kai and Shu Man’er, stunned, thinking to himself that these two had lost their minds. They were giving away their pay just to have Lu Qin set up a food cart?

But then he thought, they weren’t exactly short on money. The younger generation often lacked control, and after tasting such incredible food, they were completely hooked, unable to resist.

Well, it wasn’t his money being spent, so it was fine. Tomorrow, the crew’s boxed meal budget would definitely be saved.

Other actors in the crew were eyeing the food cart too. Honestly, even though the actors earned a lot, filming conditions could be harsh. Take the crew’s food, for example. It was really unappetizing.

Anyone who’s been in a film crew knows that even extras, when they see free boxed meals, can’t muster the energy to eat. It’s just that bad.

But they had no choice, they needed the energy for filming, so they had to eat the crew’s meals. Main actors, though, weren’t short on cash. They could choose not to eat the boxed meals and could order from a restaurant on their own. But sometimes, it wasn’t so easy.

For example, around Flower and Fruit Mountain, the only option was a fast-food place like Wallace. The producer had to order those awful boxed meals that even dogs wouldn’t eat, running five or six kilometers just to get them.

Wallace? Would you eat there?

For those suffering from constipation, it was a blessing, the little happiness for the common folk, spreading Western-style hamburgers and fries across China’s small towns. A burger costs ten yuan, and for just an extra two yuan, you can get a drink.

The key is: would you buy it?

Would you dare eat it?

Ever heard of “Jet Fighter” diarrhea?

Some Wallace stores even have signs saying, “No restrooms available.”

How considerate! They’re afraid you’ll sit down and eat inside.

If you’ve been constipated for two and a half years, then sure, Wallace is the place for you.

Netizens even created a “Wallace Jetting Chart.” It’s simply legendary.

Earlier today, Peng Kai had his assistant grab something to eat, and they chose Wallace, close by. A combo of roast chicken and iced cola. He felt fine right after eating, but then suddenly, his stomach felt off. He apologized to the director and rushed to the bathroom, suffering for an hour, only feeling better after taking some medicine. The whole crew knew about it.

After that explosive experience, Peng Kai’s handsome image in the crew was completely shattered. Afterward, Peng Kai scolded his assistant harshly.

So, no one dared to order food from random places anymore. It was safer to stick to the boxed meals. But with Lu Qin’s food cart accidentally entering the crew, everyone was suddenly happy.

After tasting Lu Qin’s food, the crew didn’t feel like they were filming, they felt like they were on a vacation eating gourmet food.

What’s the best part of filming?

When the director calls for a break!

As soon as the break began, everyone would rush to queue up for Lu Ji’s food!

They’d traveled all over filming, but they’d never had food this good!

Is Mr. Lu some kind of food god?

No pretending—he definitely is!

…

The next day, Lu Qin didn’t set up his cart early. Instead, he spent more time preparing and brought plenty of food. The food cart was packed with large and small boxes, and Xiaomi’s three-wheeled cart was also full of large plastic containers.

Inside were ice crystal cakes, soft fresh rice noodles soaking in liquid, pickled vegetables, and pickled chicken feet.

At 1 PM, Lu Qin and Xiaomi arrived at Flower and Fruit Mountain Park. The entire crew was eagerly waiting. Outside the park, the crowd watching was even larger than yesterday.

It seemed the word had gotten out that the crew of “Happy Sunshine” was filming here, so more people had come to watch. Assistant Director Chen Dong saw Lu Qin’s food cart slowly pulling up and immediately ran over excitedly, calling several staff members to help set up. Today, the crew didn’t rent Lu Qin’s cart. It was just too expensive to rent.

But thanks to Peng Kai and Shu Man’er’s generous offer, Lu Qin agreed to set up his food cart in the crew. This was basically turning the crew into a “food truck” for the day!

At this point, more than ten scenes had been filmed. Lu Qin’s food cart set up, drawing everyone’s attention. Lead actor Wu Chen had another NG. His eyes were fixed only on Lu Qin’s food. Oh, no, it was really just his food.

Stir-fried rice noodles, iced green bean soup, ice crystal cakes, Yu Xiang shredded pork…

His mouth watered just thinking about it!

“Click!”

Director Wen shouted through the walkie-talkie and scolded Wu Chen. The last shot was just about to be done, but Wu Chen had lost his focus!

Director Wen glanced at Lu Qin’s food cart, thinking, This really is the worst timing.

Suddenly, the crew members with nothing else to do immediately rushed over to queue up. Shu Man’er, who was touching up her makeup, Zhai Lin, who was rehearsing lines, and Peng Kai, who was memorizing his lines… all rushed over.

In just a few seconds, a long line had formed in front of the cart. It was faster than a military assembly!
