Chapter 133: Who’s Sure!

He wanted to stay because Meng Chuyuan’s cooking was delicious. If she chose to quit, Ting Jiu had no intention of coming to record the variety show.
Although Ting Jiu made sense, Lu Jinsen was a little unhappy. “You’re the one who doesn’t know how to cook, right?”
Lu Jinsen felt that there was no problem with him because before, he had tried to cook. Other than the fact that his food did not look good and tasted a little bad, he did not fail.
At least the food he made was edible.
Ting Jiu generously admitted, “I don’t know how to cook, but do you?”
“Better than you.”
[Young Master’s signature dish should be scrambled eggs. I haven’t seen him cook the other dishes for the time being.]
[Although, I think the two of them are quite interesting. They’re telling the truth.]
[Don’t talk when you’re eating. The two of you should hurry up and eat. The dishes are getting cold.]
[Miss Qi looks like an outsider at this moment, but she seems to be eating quite happily. This is a slap in her face.]
More than half of the sweet and sour fish was eaten by Qi Yan. She even thought that since she was shameless enough to sit down and eat with them, she might as well go all out and eat whatever she wanted.
Qi Yan thought that only the sweet and sour fish was a little more delicious and that the others would not be at the same level. In the end, after eating the second and third dishes, she was really convinced.
This was much better than the trendy restaurant she had invested in.
Perhaps it was because the dishes on the table were more to her liking, but she finished the meal in a short while and even specially scooped an extra half a bowl of rice back.
While the two of them were bickering, the director put down the bento box in his hand. Using the excuse of ad placement, he came to Meng Chuyuan and the others from outside the venue and waited quietly for them to finish eating.
When they saw the director appear, they knew that he had something to tell them, so they ate a little faster.
As he still had something to say in private, the director asked the live-stream to be closed ten minutes early.
“Director, why are you here?” Ting Jiu greeted the director.
Their games were often featured in popular variety shows, and Ting Jiu had also cameoed in a lot of variety show episodes. Naturally, he and the director were old acquaintances.
The director glanced at him with a hint of killing intent in his eyes before walking past him.
“…” Ting Jiu was a little confused. Why was Director Luo suddenly so cold to him?
Seeing Meng Chuyuan clearing the dishes, the director came forward with a smile. “Teacher Meng.”
Meng Chuyuan stacked the empty bowls and plates on the table. She looked back at the director and asked curiously, “Director, are you looking for me?”
“Indeed.” The director rubbed his hands together. His voice wasn’t particularly loud, and the smile on his face wasn’t particularly natural.
“What is it? Tell me.” In order to hear him finish his request, Meng Chuyuan specially stopped what she was doing and turned to look at him seriously.
Before the director could speak, Meng Chuyuan thought about it. Nothing seemed to have happened today.
However, when she saw that the director looked like he had something on his mind, she raised her eyebrows subconsciously, revealing a trace of doubt.
The director said humbly, “Let’s talk at the side.”
Upon seeing him being so mysterious Meng Chuyuan was a little surprised.
However, Meng Chuyuan refused to communicate with him in private. She knew that the director was very scheming. For him to come all the way here to find her, it was definitely not a good thing.
Meng Chuyuan said bluntly, “Just say it. I’m still busy.”
The director put his hands in his pockets and smiled awkwardly. He laid the groundwork in advance. “There are two endorsements that need to be recorded here. I might need to trouble you to record them in the afternoon.”
This should be considered a normal endorsement. Previously, Ting Jiu was the one who brought his own endorsement over to complete on the show. It could be said that it had nothing to do with the guest of his variety show.
This time, because an advertiser had specified for Meng Chuyuan to record this endorsement, the director could only come over to discuss this with her personally. Conveniently, he wanted to chat with her to convince her to record a few more episodes.
Meng Chuyuan looked surprised. “You want me to record an endorsement for you?”
On what basis!
She was not a celebrity, nor was she an internet celebrity who did live-streams. These endorsements were a little ridiculous for her to record.
“Yes.” The director nodded.
Meng Chuyuan refused without thinking. “I’m not recording it.”
She had come to this variety show without receiving any source of income. She had come with the intention of playing and taking Lu Qingye’s place to help his brother out.
Lu Jinsen’s manager had privately discussed the appearance fee with her. As she was a layman on the variety show, the production team would not give her a lot of appearance fees. However, when the manager discussed it over with her, she said that Meng Chuyuan could set a rough amount and that she would make up for the difference in appearance fee later.
Meng Chuyuan did not ask for the money. Instead, she asked the manager to transfer the income to Lu Jinsen.
When she heard that the appearance fee was not high, Meng Chuyuan could guess that this fee might not be as much as her winning mahjong with those rich madams.
She might as well not want it.
Anyway, she thought about it. Lu Qingye had always treated her well, so it was only right for her to help him.
The smile on the director’s face immediately disappeared. He said, “The endorsement is very simple, you just have to recite a few lines.”
The corners of Meng Chuyuan’s mouth twitched slightly. She forced a smile and said calmly, “It’s indeed easy for me to record this, but you want me to promote a product that I’ve never come into contact with. If anything happens in the future, who’s going to take responsibility for it?”
Once this endorsement was done, the advertisers behind would definitely come knocking on his door one after another.
Most importantly, Meng Chuyuan did not know if there was anything wrong with those products, or if their quality was good or not. She could not promote them immorally just for the show.
She would never accept such a job.
Moreover, she was just an ordinary person.
Director: “These are all famous brands in the country. There’s no way things would go wrong so easily.”
“What if? Who can say for sure?” Meng Chuyuan was adamant in this aspect.
The director: ‘
Even if she had used it before, she would not blindly endorse it. After all, some products varied from person to person and they had a fixed customer base.
“Is there anything else? If not, I’m busy.”
Meng Chuyuan thought that he had come specially for something big, but in the end, he was spouting nonsense about endorsements to her.
The director was halfway through his meal and had specially made this trip. Naturally, it was not entirely because of the advertisement.
Seeing that Meng Chuyuan was dissatisfied with his request just now, the director looked even more humble and said softly, “There is something else.”
Meng Chuyuan could tell at a glance that he was keeping them in suspense. She said helplessly, “Go ahead.”
The director narrowed his eyes and blinked slightly. He said calmly, “You just said that you want to quit the variety show. Are you serious?”
Hearing them talk about this topic, Lu Jinsen was the first to look over. The other guests slowly shifted their gazes to Meng Chuyuan.
“I’m serious,” she said..
