Urban Madness

"An exclusive recipe?" Qin Shu laughed as expected, "You're not saying you can't eat it elsewhere, are you?"

Lan Qingxiao sighed slightly: "In the past, I could definitely eat it elsewhere! But now, I really can't eat it. I have nothing else to offer. These things that can't be eaten elsewhere are the only ones now. You can take it out! Manager Qin, just have a piece!"

Seeing her pleading eyes, Qin Shu felt soft and couldn't bear to refuse, so he picked up a piece and asked with a smile: "Did you make it yourself?"

When Lan Qingxiao saw that Qin Shu was really willing to eat, she couldn't help but become happy and nodded quickly: "Yes, I wanted to give it to you a long time ago. You have been filming and I didn't dare to disturb you!"

Qin Shu smiled bitterly: "How can such a beautiful girl do this? Why don't you look like a girl who lives at home? Are you sure you have tasted it? If I eat it, I won't spit it out, right?"

Lan Qingxiao shook her head hastily: "No, definitely not! I learned to make this from my father when I was seven years old, and my father even praised me for making it more delicious than him!" She said about her father. When he saw it, his expression suddenly became a little sad.

Qin Shu saw it and couldn't help coughing: "What's wrong? Your father..."

Lan Qingxiao bit her lip and said after a while: "My father has... passed away! All he left me are these methods of making pastries, but I haven't done them in several years, and they seem to be rusty!"

Qin Shu asked unconsciously: "Your father used to be a pastry chef?"

"Yes, I later opened my own pastry shop and also opened a chain with branches in many cities!"

"That's awesome!" Qin Shu was very surprised. From this point of view, her family should be very rich. How could she still owe the hospital for medicine after seeing a doctor?

Lan Qingxiao sighed again: "That was the best time for our family, but after that, my father became ambitious and wanted to make his career bigger, so at the instigation of his friends, he invested in opening a clothing foreign trade company. He was not familiar with this business at all, so he lost money in the first year, and the losses increased more and more. Later, he sold all the pastry chain stores and was ready to recover the losses. Unexpectedly, his partner took all the money and ran abroad without a trace. My father's company went bankrupt and he owed a lot of money. He couldn't afford to fall ill and passed away soon after. Only my sister, me and my mother were left. My mother was also hit hard by what happened to my father and is now often in a trance. , my sister will take care of her at home, and I will go out to make money!" As he spoke, he probably thought of the pain of these years, his eyes turned red, and he shed tears.

Hui Caiyi felt very sad after hearing this. She hurriedly walked over, sat down next to Lan Qingxiao, and handed her a tissue to wipe her tears.

Qin Shu didn't expect that Lan Qingxiao had such a past. No wonder no one took care of her when she had a fever and was hospitalized. She probably didn't dare to notify her family. She had a fever, and she took Huaichi Liu's orders and ran out to drink. She worked so hard. It's really difficult to live in these days. After all, the lives of a family of three have to bear on her shoulders. She is still such a young girl. .

"Lan Qingxiao, don't be too sad. It's all over and things will gradually get better in the future!" Hui Caiyi comforted her softly.

Lan Qingxiao wiped her tears and nodded: "I can indeed make some money now by working on the crew. Although it is still very tight, I can at least support my family's life. In the past two years, my sister would secretly go to the vegetable market every night. I picked up vegetable leaves thrown away by others, and didn’t let me know for fear of putting pressure on me, but it’s finally much better than then!”

Qin Shu coughed and asked, "How much is your salary this time?"

Lan Qingxiao was stunned for a moment: "Didn't you give me my salary?"

Qin Shu shook his head: "These little things are all done by my employees! How much is it?"

"Oh, a total of 10,000 yuan! My roles are not many, but they are very fragmented. I often have to come over and act!"

Hui Caiyi said hurriedly: "I read the script and noticed your character. He doesn't have much screen time, but it seems to be there from beginning to end. You probably have to accompany the crew until the filming is complete. You will probably spend the past six months on the crew. It’s in!”

Qin Shu was startled. Ten thousand yuan for half a year was really not much.

Lan Qingxiao smiled: "It would be great to have this role. Unlike you, I have a formal professional background. I am a wild child and have no talent. My acting skills are average. I can only play this role thanks to Huaichi Liu." The director is taking care of me!"

"So you obeyed his orders so much?" Qin Shu glanced at her.

Lan Qingxiao thought about what happened that night, her face turned red: "Yes... yes, I usually do some entertainment for the director. I must cherish the opportunity to have a good relationship with the director. In this way, I will have more opportunities in the future." The director will think of me. Although it is difficult to become popular based on my level, at least I can have a regular income. Because of my father's affairs, I dropped out of high school in my second year of high school. I have no education or diploma, and I don’t have any special skills, and I’m still a girl. It’s really not easy to make some money. I also want my mother and sister to live a good life, but now it seems that it’s far away!” As I said that, I couldn’t help but shed tears again. Come down.

She rarely talked about these things with others, but in front of Qin Shu and Hui Caiyi, she put down all her guard and revealed her heart because she felt that Qin Shu and Hui Caiyi were very kind and would not listen to her. , just look down on her or something.

Hui Caiyi murmured: "I didn't expect you to be so pitiful!"

"What's so pitiful about me!" Lan Qingxiao wiped away her tears quickly and said with a smile, "I'm working hard now. Although I don't have a clue yet, I believe life will gradually get better. Caiyi, if you are in this movie If you become an instant hit, don’t forget to give your sister a helping hand in the future!”

Hui Caiyi nodded hurriedly: "Yes, I will definitely do it!"

Lan Qingxiao smiled, wiped away her tears, and turned to look at Qin Shu, only to find that Qin Shu was still holding the piece and not eating it. She couldn't help but said: "Manager Qin, what's wrong with you? Don't you want to eat? What happened that day? I don’t know how to thank you, so I can only make some for you to try!”

Qin Shu didn't say anything, but put it in his mouth. It was very delicious, soft and smooth, sweet and delicious.

"Manager Qin, what do you think?" Lan Qingxiao asked nervously, for fear that it would not taste good.

After Qin Shu finished eating, he licked his lips: "It tastes very good, and it's so good. I didn't expect you to be of this level. Why don't you become a pastry chef?"

Lan Qingxiao bit her lip: "That one also requires a technical school diploma. I don't have anything. Others with diplomas can't use it. How can I be used? I applied for a job in a pastry shop, and I could only do odd jobs for a month. With a salary of more than 1,000 points, after excluding rent, water and electricity bills, there is basically nothing left, and the three of us still have to eat!"

"Yes, the diploma is stuck!" Qin Shu looked at her and asked with a smile, "Can I have another piece?"

"Of course!" Seeing that Qin Shu loved to eat, Lan Qingxiao was very happy and hurriedly handed over the lunch box again.

Qin Shu did not comfort her. It was really delicious. Not only was it delicious, but it also looked very good. It had bright patterns on it and was full of romantic artistic sense. He ate another one and said to Hui Cai: " Cai Yi, you should try it too, it’s delicious!”

Hui Caiyi hurriedly waved her hands: "Lan Qingxiao made this for you, how can I eat it?"

Lan Qingxiao smiled hurriedly and said: "It's okay, he likes to eat, I will make it every day from now on!" After saying that, he picked up a piece and handed it to Hui Caiyi.

Hui Caiyi smiled, took it, looked at it, it was really beautiful, took a bite in her mouth, and nodded: "It's really delicious, better than the ones in pastry shops!"

Lan Qingxiao was a little embarrassed to be praised in this way, and smiled quickly: "How can I do it so well? I haven't done it in several years!"

Hui Caiyi said: "It's true, it's really delicious!"

"Then I'll make more tomorrow!"

Qin Shu nodded: "Okay, then you can make more tomorrow!" He took out his wallet, thought for a moment, took out five hundred yuan and put it in the lunch box, "This is the money to buy you!" He knew that Lan Qing Xiao is short of money now. To do this, she needs to buy materials now, which will definitely make her life worse.

"This is what I want to thank you for, no money required!" Lan Qingxiao waved her hands repeatedly.

Qin Shu smiled: "I will eat every day from now on, won't you be depleted? These are considered material expenses!"

Lan Qingxiao hurriedly put the money back into Qin Shu's hand: "I don't want it, you like to eat it, I will make it for you every day, this is my wish!"

Qin Shuneng could guess that if he made so many pastries for him every day, Lan Qingxiao would probably not have to eat for a month.

He wanted to give her money again, but she didn't want it. Instead, she got up and ran away. Qin Shu saw him and grabbed her hand.

Lan Qingxiao's hand was held by Qin Shu, and she trembled slightly. The feeling was very strange. In the past, many men had held her hand when they went out to socialize, but they didn't feel anything. Qin Shu shook hands with her that night, and he didn't feel anything either. , but now, when Qin Shu's hand grasped hers, she felt a special feeling, as if a strange touch passed through her heart, and she couldn't help but stop.

"Sit down first. Since you don't want money, I won't give it to you, but I want to discuss something with you!" Qin Shu pulled her back.

Lan Qingxiao's face was slightly red, she sat next to him again and said softly: "Say it!"

"As for me, I am going to improve the food for the crew. After lunch every day, everyone will add some after-dinner food! Your cooking is so delicious, you will be the one to supply it from now on, and I will pay you according to the market price!"

Lan Qingxiao was stunned for a moment: "Manager Qin, you did it specifically for me..."

She is not stupid, why can't she see it? She must not want the money Qin Shu gave her just now, so Qin Shu did it deliberately to give her a chance to make money. There are so many people in the crew, and if everyone adds some after dinner, even if it is only at noon Such a meal costs hundreds of dollars a day.

Qin Shu smiled and said, "Don't think too much. I just saw that everyone was working hard during filming, so would you like to improve everyone's food? If you don't, I'll leave it to the pastry shop to do it!"

Lan Qingxiao looked at Qin Shu with gratitude in her eyes: "Manager Qin, thank you!"
