Naza kept looking into Jiang Yuan's eyes.

He noticed that the man's expression stiffened slightly when he saw the fried rice noodles she had made, and a sense of foreboding rose in his heart.

"Um, did I add something I shouldn't have?" Naza asked softly.

She felt she might have fallen into a trap and didn't ask Jiang Yuan about her dietary restrictions.

When the girl asked, Jiang Yuan didn't hide anything and pretended to be honest:

"I can't eat onions and celery."

Naza tentatively asked, "Is it an allergic reaction?"

"No, that's not it," Jiang Yuan said honestly. "It's that I hate eating it."

"Oh no, my sister, being from Singapore, absolutely loves onions."

The assistant, Xiao Chen, covered her face, feeling that her brother was so dull-witted.

Most boys will respond to food made by a girl, even if they don't like it.

At this point, not wanting to disappoint the girl's kindness, he would pretend to like the food and force himself to finish it.

My assistant always does this in idol dramas and novels, it's so romantic!

Helpless, the assistant could only keep gesturing to Jiang Yuan with her eyes.

Jiang Yuan noticed Xiao Chen's hint and smiled.

He doesn't like to force others, nor does he like to force himself.

He will naturally eat what he can eat.

But he wouldn't force himself to eat things he couldn't, even in the name of romance.

Even though he himself had seen similar news.

What happens when a boyfriend and girlfriend go out to eat together and discover they have different tastes, and the guy doesn't try to accommodate them?

The girl said, "You don't love me and you're not willing to compromise with me."

This leads to the question: how can life be the same no matter who you live with?

Torture male netizens to gain empathy from female netizens and sympathy from kind-hearted male netizens...

His situation and Nazha's are even more serious.

The main differences between men and women are taste preferences, such as the distinction between sweet and salty, or the debate over noodles versus rice.

They're all edible; it's just a matter of whether you like them or not.

He simply cannot eat onions.

Naza is a Uyghur from the new province and does not eat pork.

Some Northwestern delicacies are made with lamb, beef, and chicken.

Onions are always plentiful in dishes like baked buns, fried rice noodles, and braised chicken.

It seems they really love onions.

This perfectly matches what girls online are saying: the two of them are completely incompatible...

"That's no coincidence."

Unexpectedly, Naza blinked her clear eyes and said happily,

"You don't like onions and celery, but I love them! I can help you eat them."

"And since I can't eat pork, I'm sure you'll like it. I've been looking at Yunnan's 'pig-killing feast' these past few days; when I visit your hometown, you can help me eat it."

"See, isn't that great? What you can't eat is exactly what I love to eat. What I can't eat, you can definitely eat."

Naza put down her bowl, pointed upwards, and said, "God must have brought us together so that we could clean up each other's messes."

Naza said earnestly, "Therefore, we are a match made in heaven!"

The assistant was shocked. My sister can interpret "a match made in heaven" like that?

To be honest, my sister is the epitome of a love-obsessed person...

Jiang Yuan was also taken aback by Nazha's strange idea.

But upon closer reflection, it does seem to make some sense...

What people online are right, how can life be the same no matter who you live with?

People who don't love you will use differences as an excuse to walk away without feeling guilty.

Those who want to love treat differences as mortise and tenon joints, striving to get closer and lock them together.

"I'll make you a version without onions and celery next time. Actually, we can add other vegetables to our fried rice noodles, and I'm sure you'll like it."

Naza put the insulated food container aside. "By the way, you idiot, do you have any dietary restrictions?"

Jiang Yuan shook her head: "No more."

"I'll remember that."

Naza handed the fried rice noodles to her assistant, "Xiao Chen, you're in charge of this. Didn't you want to eat this before?"

The assistant, holding the bowl, joked, "Sis, why didn't you give it to me before?"

Naza ignored her and turned to Jiang Yuan with interest:

"If that dish is stir-fried with onions and celery, wouldn't you also find the flavors mixed and then just not eat it?"

Naza put herself in others' shoes: "I am Uyghur and cannot eat pork, so I can taste the pork in any dish and it makes me want to vomit."

Are you the same way?

Jiang Yuan rolled down the car window to let in some fresh air: "No, I just hate eating onions and celery, but I can't taste any of the flavors mixing."

Upon hearing this, the assistant sensed something was wrong.

But unfortunately.

With quick reflexes, Nazha snatched the fried rice noodles from her assistant.

"You should have said so earlier, we could have eaten together."

Naza looked at Jiang Yuan with a charming smile, "I'll eat the onions and celery for you, and you can try the noodles I made."

Assistant: ……

……

Because the production team of "The Journey of Flower" had issued a statement beforehand announcing a change of actors.

It also included official character photos of all the important characters, which will be released tonight.

A group of people online have already begun to wait.

Some of these are fans and haters of Zhao Liying and Huo Jianhua, while others are fans of the original novel "The Journey of Flower".

Many more people were drawn to the story because of the trending topic of Zhang Danfeng's alleged affair with Hong Xin and their subsequent divorce.

Why hasn't it been announced yet?

I still remember the last leaked photos of Zhao Liying, her look as Hua Qiangu, the Eastern version of Harry Potter.

[Is Wallace Huo going to play a zombie, given that Bai Zihua has panda eyes?]

[What did Zhao Liying and Wallace Huo do to you, you old mothers?]

……

It has become commonplace for fans and haters to lash out at each other.

But the general public doesn't care about that.

[Zhang Danfeng cheated on his wife, and now someone else has cheated on his character. Isn't this a kind of karmic retribution?]

Wow, that's an exaggeration! Zhang Danfeng's agent has to handle business during the day and learn from others at night.

[A detailed account of the journey to the West.]

[Dongfang Yuqing, is it? Let me see who this guy is, capable of cuckolding Zhang Danfeng!]

……

Under the official title of "Hua Qiangu," a group of people were having fun.

At seven o'clock, the official account first released the list of actors.

When netizens took a look...

Who the hell are these people?

[I don't recognize them. Besides Jiang Xin and the male and female leads, everyone else is a newcomer? Are they that good?]

[666, the production team of "The Journey of Flower" is quite bold to use so many newcomers.]

While onlookers found it amusing, fans couldn't sit still.

Why did this stupid production team hire so many newcomers? Isn't that just dragging down my older brothers and sisters?

Just as I was about to criticize, the cast and crew of "The Journey of Flower" posted another update.

The official character photos of all the important male characters, including Wallace Huo and Zhao Liying, from the first to the fourth male lead and the first to the fifth female lead, were released in a nine-grid format.

Of course, Zhao Liying is the lead actress, placed in the very center.

When netizens saw it clearly, they immediately went wild.

Wow, the quality is pretty high! Where did you find these girls?

[It's so good! It's been a long time since I've seen so many beautiful girls in one drama. As long as their acting isn't bad, I'll definitely check it out.]

[Meng Ziyi, Yang Chaoyue, Tian Xiwei, Li Yitong—wow, I've never seen these names before.]

The lecherous old men who came to watch the drama felt like their eyes had been cleansed.

Then, looking at the male character she cared about most, she was quickly struck by a blow.

[Wow, the actor playing Dongfang Yuqing is pretty handsome, about my age.]

"Brother, you're not as good as me. Dongfang Yuqing will have to avoid my sharp edge."

【No, why does this name Jiang Yuan sound so familiar? I think I've seen her in some interview before.】

The male netizens who were shocked were also able to make people laugh.

The female fans who really cared were stunned when they saw Jiang Yuan's official photos.

They don't even have time to nitpick other people, like Jiang Xin who cross-dresses as Sha Qianmo.

In the photo, he stands still in a moon-white robe, his long hair flowing down his back, his eyes full of charm.

She possesses both the gentle and modest demeanor of a scholar from the mortal world, and subtly reveals the mysterious and aloof nature hidden deep within their minds as the master of the Yixiu Pavilion.

【The chosen one, Dongfang Yuqing!】

[He's so handsome! He looks exactly like the Dongfang Bubai I imagined when I read the novel.]

[She's even better than I expected. I couldn't have imagined someone so beautiful, like a celestial being descended from a painting.]

[Waaaaah, why didn't they play Sha Qianmo? This face is clearly chosen for Sha Qianmo!]

[Jiang Yuan, right? I'm a sucker for good looks, I'm a fan!]

……

The internet has a memory.

Soon, netizens who found the name Jiang Yuan familiar located the source.

[Holy crap, the actor playing Dongfang Yuqing is a Peking University graduate who used to be a high-risk overseas reporter for CCTV, covering topics like Brazilian drug cartels and armed conflicts in South America. Now he's an actor?]

The netizen quickly posted the video he found and saved in the comments section, attracting even more attention.

The video is a news report recently released by CCTV News Channel featuring interviews with Brazilian drug traffickers.

—Entering the "City of God"

The 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil was a major event that garnered global attention.

This interview video, which introduced everyone to Rio de Janeiro, the host city of the Brazilian World Cup, was specially saved by CCTV and shown now.

Because of the heartbreaking nature of the drug dealers interviewed, many people remember them vividly.

In the video.

"I don't want to hurt anyone, but I'm a soldier in a drug cartel, and I'm living the life I'm supposed to live to fight off rival gangs," said the drug dealer holding a submachine gun.

Upon hearing this, the young and handsome CCTV reporter pondered for a moment before asking, "If you could choose again, what kind of life would you want to live?"

"When I was a child, I wanted to be a firefighter. I thought it was a great profession because it saves lives."

The gunman paused for a moment and then said, "But now I've given up on that dream and am living every day like you see."

Are you afraid of death?

"If we were afraid, we wouldn't have chosen this kind of life. In the slums, we don't even think about tomorrow when we go to bed every day."

We live in the present and don't think about the future.

On the way home after the interview.

A reporter's voiceover rang out: "In Rio, the ultimate fate of drug traffickers is either imprisonment or death by gunfire."

The camera then shifts back to the news anchor's desk.

The two hosts said, "Thank you to our CCTV correspondent Jiang Yuan for the firsthand information."

This gives us a more comprehensive understanding of Rio de Janeiro before the start of the Brazil World Cup.

Many people didn't rush to sigh after watching the video.

Instead, they noticed the reporter named Jiang Yuan.

[That's him. I heard it from the host. His name is Jiang Yuan. The actor who plays Dongfang Yuqing also has this name.]

[Holy crap, this guy's got guts! A Peking University graduate with a bright future, and he chose to become a high-risk journalist. He's got no fear of death! I wouldn't dare approach that drug dealer's AK47.]

[Awesome, I admit my bro is more handsome than me.]

Male netizens who came to watch the drama were completely blown away. This kind of calm and hardcore interview with an armed drug dealer face to face is truly impressive.

This drug dealer is so pitiful; he's a truly unfortunate person.

[It's not pitiful to have a gun pointed at your head; do you think he's never killed anyone?]

Some people paid attention to what the drug dealers said; some sympathized with them, while others condemned them.

But most girls on Weibo only care about one thing.

Although the shooting conditions were limited and the image wasn't very focused, you can still vaguely make out that it's my husband.

Great, now there's another reason to become a fan.

……

The discussion surged, and the topic became incredibly popular.

In addition, someone has always had a passive ability that brings good luck, even without activating their active skills.

Hua Qiangu and Jiang Yuan have been trending on several hot search lists.

……

A sudden surge in trending topics.

This naturally attracted the attention of the production team of "The Journey of Flower".

Lin Yufen was stunned and asked the assistant director next to her, "Is this trending topic about Jiang Yuan from our crew?"

"I don't know," the assistant director said, equally puzzled.

"Where's Jiang Yuan's resume? Let me take a look."

The assistant director waved his hand: "Director Lin, Jiang Yuan didn't even say a word during the interview before you made the decision. I don't have a resume."

"Then how did he get into the audition? Didn't you collect his resume?" Liang Shengquan asked.

"She came with Miss Ciwen, who would dare to stop her?" a staff member who knew the situation said, scratching his head.

Lin Yufen laughed speechlessly: "So after all this time, you still can't confirm his identity?"

"Isn't he on set? Just find him and ask him," Gao Lingbao suggested.

The staff member shook his head: "They've already left."

At this moment, Tang Lijun walked in from outside the door, saw everyone's appearance, and asked them a question.

Tang Lijun smiled and said, "If he graduated from Peking University, then it should be him."

Lin Yufen asked curiously, "Producer Tang, how did you know?"

Tang Lijun shrugged: "Jiang Yuan's agent, Yu Ya, wanted to negotiate a contract with me."

They used every trick in the book to raise their own status, and of course I knew that.

Tang Lijun had never seen such a shameless agent.

It felt like arguing with someone in a factory.

The noise gave her a headache all afternoon.

The key point is that on the way here, Yueyue called her repeatedly to tell her not to bully Jiang Yuan.

Tang Lijun was speechless; it was as if this was her money.

Miss, this is Ciwen's money, the budget given to me, not mine!

Fortunately, Tang Lijun was ultimately the better one.

Yu Ya was too naive. She thought she had gotten a good deal, but in reality, the price she expected hadn't broken through the high point at all.

Jiang Yuan is not much different from the original Zhang Danfeng.

However, the salaries for the second to fifth female leads were all lower than originally expected.

"Then we can take this opportunity to promote 'The Journey of Flower,' what do you think, Producer Tang?"

Lin Yufen felt it was a good opportunity and wanted to give it a push.

Of course, she also found Jiang Yuan particularly pleasing to the eye.

Anyway, the money used to buy trending topics and promote the product was Ciwen's money.

Having saved some money, Tang Lijun pondered for a moment and then said, "It's already trending. Pushing it even more won't cost much. We can do it."

However, the big prize still needs to be dealt with before the film's release.

Lin Yufen nodded: "Of course, once that kid joins the crew, he'll probably be happy too."

The filming of "The Journey of Flower" will begin in just a few days.

Most of the crew members have arrived, and they have also found a hotel for accommodation.

We're just waiting for the actors to gradually join the crew over the next few days.

……

At this time, Jiang Yuan had no time to care about what was happening online.

Instead, he huddled with a few girls in the van on the way back.

Xiao Yu told me how she conquered cities and territories, defeating Tang Lijun in a series of retreats.

He received a considerable salary.

"Sister Fish, how much?"

Unable to contain her greedy heart, Yang Chaoyue asked.
