Gu Beihuai and Nan Xiangwan both changed into casual clothes and went to a nearby small restaurant after work.
The place where they were filming the MV was in the old town of Gusu City, where there were many small restaurants.
Delicious food doesn't have to be from high-end restaurants. Many casual little restaurants on the streets also serve very tasty dishes!
Gu Beihuai ordered twenty dishes, enough to feed ten people, and a huge bucket of rice.
Nan Xiangwan rubbed her hands eagerly and excitedly.
Soon, the dishes were served.
The waiter brought over a big bucket of rice - he directly brought over the whole electric rice cooker.
Gu Beihuai handed over chopsticks: Eat up.
Nan Xiangwan did not stand on ceremony and immediately started wolfing down the food!
She was really hungry, having not eaten all day!
Gu Beihuai did not eat much, just two bowls of rice, before going to the back kitchen and saying something to the restaurant owner.
Nan Xiangwan minded her own business and continued eating.
She ate until she was stuffed!
Twenty dishes, all cleaned up!
One huge bucket of rice, all gone!
Gu Beihuai sat opposite her, watching her eat. At first his eyes were smiling, even gentle, as if watching his own well-fed cub.
But by the time Nan Xiangwan had cleaned up all the food, even his face could not remain expressionless.
How can she eat so much?!
Finally full, Nan Xiangwan revealed a satisfied smile.
Gu Beihuai took out his phone: Let's exchange WeChat?
Nan Xiangwan: Hmm?
Gu Beihuai: For easier collaboration in future. And give me your account details so I can pay you.
Nan Xiangwan's eyes lit up and she immediately took out her phone.
She added his WeChat.
And sent her bank account details!
All done swiftly!
Gu Beihuai's mouth twitched as he looked at his first WeChat message from Nan Xiangwan - that glaring bank account number.
This little wolf cub only cared about food and money!
After the meal, the two went to the filming location.
The leads had finished their scenes, but there were still some scenes with extras and such to film, so shooting would continue late into the night.
The crew members were eating boxed meals around the set.
As Nan Xiangwan walked by, many smiled and greeted her.
"Thank you Boss Nan!"
"We're grateful to you, Boss Nan!"
"Dinner tonight was much better than lunch! Boss Nan is generous!"
Nan Xiangwan: ???
The GMC Business Star was parked nearby.
After Nan Xiangwan got into the car, she realized Cheng Xue was sitting next to her, with another woman in the front passenger seat.
Female, around twenty years old, slightly chubby.
Cheng Xue: Boss Nan, this is the assistant I found for you, Xiao Dong.
Xiao Dong greeted her excitedly: Hello Boss Nan! I'm your fan! I can break bricks with my bare hands! Boss Nan, shall I demonstrate my loyalty by breaking some bricks for you now?
Nan Xiangwan: No, really not necessary!
Who breaks bricks with their bare hands these days!
She was an internet-savvy modern woman who knew the memes online about her brick-breaking prowess.
Xiao Dong giggled and offered her a bag of snacks: Boss Nan, want some?
Nan Xiangwan immediately grabbed it.
She liked this assistant!
Cheng Xue spoke from the side: Boss Nan, I've already prepared the PR statement about how you treated the crew to dinner. Some staff tweeted about it first, and we'll immediately amplify it on our official account to stir up buzz.
Nan Xiangwan: ???
When did she treat the crew to dinner?
Cheng Xue continued: The online reception is very positive! Everyone is praising Boss Nan for being a good boss!
Nan Xiangwan:
The car drove towards the reality show filming location in Shanghai, a three hour journey.
Nan Xiangwan was tired and napped in the car.
When she woke up, they were on an overpass in Shanghai.
Cheng Xue immediately gave her an update: Boss Nan! The online response has been great! Our Hua Wan Entertainment's stock has risen, and several drama productions have contacted our company's artists for roles. Also, a top actress whose contract is expiring soon has expressed interest in signing with us.
How you treat your employees has left a very good impression on these people! When the actress heard about this, she became even more set on signing with our company!
Nan Xiangwan was stunned.
【Ding!】
【Task Complete: MV】
【Reward: Company Revenue Increased 10%】
Nan Xiangwan was completely bewildered.
What did she do?
At the same time, the bank alert came in for the 500,000RMB payment, after Gu Beihuai handled the taxes.
Nan Xiangwan was overjoyed!
【Assets: 6.43 million RMB】
In the other van.
Lang Hu sat in the front passenger seat, looking at the news online, occasionally glancing back at his boss.
Gu Beihuai was annoyed by his staring and said: If you have something to say, say it.
Lang Hu: Teacher Gu, why did you say Nan Xiangwan treated everyone to dinner?
He clearly saw Gu Beihuai paid!
Dinner for hundreds of people, including extras!
Gu Beihuai, expressionless: You're prying too much.
Lang Hu:
He should just keep quiet right?
-------------------
It was 10pm when Nan Xiangwan returned to the reality show dorms.
Originally, Cheng Xue said she could take the day off and not go back today.
But Nan Xiangwan felt it would be too troublesome to run over again in the morning, so she just went back to sleep there.
At this hour, her dorm mates were surprised to see Nan Xiangwan alive and well.
Because by this time, she would usually already be snoring away in bed!
Li Banyan chattered on about the day's events.
After the last stage performance, only 50 trainees remained.
The top 7 ranks were: Nan Xiangwan, Zhu Sha, Ge Dongxuan, Deng Si Nan, Sha Ling, Yun Qian, Jian Ya!
After the Yu trainee left, Deng Si Nan, who had been pushed down before, immediately shot back up to 4th place.
Still 4th place!
Jian Ya dropped to 7th, with her score very close to 8th place Zhou Wenxia!
Zhou Wenxia was also originally A Class.
She was just pushed down one rank by Nan Xiangwan's runaway high score.
Sha Ling and Yun Qian remained very steady in the top 7.
As Li Banyan talked excitedly, she said: The group draw for the third stage is tomorrow! I wonder which group I'll get!
Ding Wen said anxiously beside her: Speaking of the draw, our ranks rose to top 20 probably because we were paired with Nan Xiangwan before right?
Originally there were 3 roommates, now only 2 left.
Both Ding Wen and Li Banyan's ranks rose to top 20, so it seemed they could make it to the final stage.
Debut was impossible though.
Although their ranks were rising, there was still a gap in ability compared to the top 7.
Just as Li Banyan prattled on, she turned around.
And saw Nan Xiangwan already breathing evenly in bed.
Wrapped in her blanket, hands tucked in by the corners.
Only her head peeked out.
Ding Wen: She's asleep, shh.
Li Banyan lowered her voice: Eat, sleep, so carefree, I'm jealous.
Ding Wen: Nan Xiangwan is usually so outstanding, but looks so cute when asleep!
Li Banyan: Can I sneak a kiss on her?
Ding Wen: I'll hit you.
