I'm a web novelist, and you want me to work in the entertainment industry?

As dusk fell, the town lit up with warm yellow lights, one after another.

The lights were reflected in the dark river water, sometimes clear and sometimes blurry as the wind blew across the water.

A faint fragrance of osmanthus wafts through the air, mixed with the lively aromas wafting from various restaurants.

Cheng Che still has some humanity after all; he wasn't so naive as to actually abandon the PD who was filming him.

Despite his helpful nature, he went back and even helped the photographer carry the 25-pound silver carp.

Yes, of course, being helpful is a good thing, but getting something for nothing is not.

So Cheng Che earned another 5 yuan in shipping fees.

On his way back, Cheng Che passed a small shop on a street corner and went in to buy seven grilled sausages.

He ate one himself, gave two to Tian Xiwei, and wrapped the remaining four in a plastic bag to take back with him.

Tian Xiwei held a sausage in each hand, taking a bite from the left and then the right, hopping and skipping as she ate with great enjoyment.

"Seriously, is it really okay to squander money like this after just earning a little?" she suddenly asked.

"Where is the extravagance in buying seven sausages?" Cheng Che retorted. "Besides, money is meant to be spent."

He signed the contract because he was interested in the travel opportunity, so once he arrived, he naturally did whatever made him happy!

"That makes sense." Tian Xiwei nodded and ate even more happily.

The comments section was filled with emotion about this scene:

[Going back a month, I never imagined they would end up like this.]

Actually, that's not the case. There were already signs of something going on on the very first day they met.

At this rate, they'll probably have a child by this time next year.

……

……

When I returned to the courtyard, it was already completely dark.

Cheng Che tossed the fish to the crew members and then distributed the remaining four sausages to everyone.

Teacher Yan didn't want it, and in the end, the extra one was given to Xia Ziyi.

"What should I do if I get a little belly?" Sister Xia asked, holding a sausage in one hand and glancing down at her flat stomach with a bit of worry.

She has always been very concerned about her image.

"It's okay, the fans won't mind," Cheng Che said, looking at the camera. "Xia Jie's fans, don't you agree?"

The comments section is quite amusing:

[666, is there something else I need to do here?]

I love watching Cheng Che on variety shows because of his interactive skills; they make me feel really involved.

【Don't mind, don't mind, Sister Xia, eat with peace of mind!】

"But my manager will scold me," Xia Ziyi pouted.

"It's okay. If she scolds you, just ask her if she wants you to waste food." Cheng Che raised an eyebrow. "She definitely won't dare to stop you then."

"That makes sense!" Xia Ziyi thought Cheng Che was a genius.

The broker wouldn't let the farmer waste the grain that he worked so hard to grow.

With this trick, Xia no longer needs to be afraid of her manager!

Hahahaha—

Tian Xiwei and Xu Anan watched Cheng Che teach Xia Ziyi to do bad things, and both smiled helplessly.

These two are a real idiot and a guy who really loves to tease idiots.

Their friendship will surely last forever.

"So you can even fold patterns!" Henry Lau exclaimed with a "I've learned something new" expression.

Is this the charm of language?

He got it.

[There's some truth to that... Never mind, Xia-jie, just keep playing.]

[In fact, Cheol's tactics are indeed effective, but only in situations where the camera is on and the show needs to be entertaining. If used against a manager...]

[Le, Dahua's an idiot too, can't he learn something good?]

……

Half an hour later, dinner was served, and everyone sat around the table.

Teacher Yan still prepared four dishes and a soup, and the highlight of this meal was undoubtedly placed in the very center of the table—

West Lake Fish With Vinegar Sauce.

The grass carp, now with its decorative cuts, lay peacefully on the plate, drizzled with a deep amber-colored sweet and sour sauce. Whether it was authentic or not, Teacher Yan casually sprinkled some goji berries and chopped green onions on top as garnish.

"Come on, who wants to try it first?" Yan Lei said.

"Come on over!" Henry Lau was the most enthusiastic.

Of course he had to support Teacher Yan's cooking!

He picked up his chopsticks, took a small piece of fish coated in sweet and sour sauce, and put it in his mouth.

The expression on his face changed from expectation to confusion, from confusion to frowning, and from frowning to silence.

"How is it?" Yan Lei asked.

"I...I can't say for sure, but you should try it too." Henry Lau did not choose to comment.

"I'll go!" Xia Ziyi was the second to pick up her chopsticks.

Half a minute later, she also silently put down her chopsticks, her expression complicated.

"Nannan, Xiaotian, Chengche, you should try some too," she said. "I'm a bit clumsy, I don't know how to describe it."

Upon hearing this, Cheng, Tian, ​​and Xu no longer hesitated and all picked up their chopsticks, took a piece of fish, and put it in their mouths.

The first thing Cheng Che noticed when he tasted the fish was its sourness, an intense sourness.

It's called sweet and sour sauce, but the proportion of sourness far outweighs the sweetness.

Then, a strong earthy smell wafted from the broken fish meat, completely overpowering the sweet and sour sauce.

"..."

Tian Xiwei and Xu Anan also finished tasting, and their expressions were no different from those of Liu Xianhua and Xia Ziyi before them.

They didn't know how to comment, so they turned to Cheng Che for help.

"Give me your feedback, Xiao Cheng. Just say whatever you think." Yan Lei waved his hand, appearing very magnanimous.

"...Teacher Yan, I think it's like this." Cheng Che once again delivered his high-EQ speech.

Everyone listened attentively.

"This fish is absolutely awful," Cheng Che said bluntly. "The sweet and sour sauce is so sour it's almost unbearable, and the fish is incredibly fishy."

"If someone doesn't eat fish often, or is particularly sensitive to the smell of fish, they might gag after just one bite."

【???? Che-ge is still too brave!】

[A reasonable assessment; in fact, this is how West Lake Fish in Vinegar Sauce tastes, it's just that the most professional restaurants handle the fishy smell better.]

[666 So Teacher Yan actually succeeded, right?]

Tian, ​​Xia, Xu, and Liu's pupils dilated in shock—Xiao Che, are you out of your mind? Why are you spouting such obvious truths?

Just as Teacher Yan's smile began to freeze, Cheng Che spoke again.

"That's all." Cheng Che changed the subject, "It's the flaws of this fish, this dish."

"And next, I'm going to talk about what I admire most about Teacher Yan," he said.

Tian, ​​Xia, Xu, and Liu were all stunned – Brother Che, we're impressed! Is this even possible?

Teacher Yan's expression immediately softened.

"I think that as a chef, Teacher Yan has a lot of respect for the West Lake Fish in Vinegar Sauce dish," Cheng Che said seriously.

"As such an experienced chef, wouldn't Teacher Yan have known that the sweet and sour sauce was too acidic and that the fishy smell hadn't been removed when he was preparing the sauce?"

"Of course not!" Cheng Che said firmly.

"He must have known, but he kept these fish in order to make it as close as possible to the original flavor of West Lake Fish in Vinegar Sauce for us."

"And now you see, the taste and feeling we get are almost identical to the online reviews of West Lake Fish in Vinegar Sauce."

"What does this mean?" Cheng Che patted the table.

"This proves that Teacher Yan's West Lake Fish in Vinegar Sauce was a great success!"

【Che's Language Art.】

I don't understand, but I'm utterly shocked. Look at the other four people; they're completely dumbfounded!

With this ability to distort the truth, Brother Che, you'll succeed at anything you do.

[666 Reasonable suspicion: Lu Mingfei's trash-talking is not as good as Che Ge's.]

After saying all this, seeing Teacher Yan's completely relieved expression and the admiring looks from the other four people, Cheng Che breathed a sigh of relief.

This show would probably fall apart without me!
