She thought that she would have to eat later anyway. Moreover, there were too many delicacies on the streets here. It would definitely be difficult for her to make a decision when shopping. Thinking about it carefully, that would waste a lot of time.
After a while, Liao Jiake agreed softly. “Then I’ll eat with you.”
She ordered the same beef noodles as Meng Chuyuan and the others. She also asked the boss to pack a portion as takeaway later.
“Why did your sister go back first?” Ting Jiu had already finished all the noodles and there was still half a bowl of soup left in the bowl. He took a tissue to wipe his mouth and said, “Was she feeling unwell?”
“No.” Liao Jiake looked a little embarrassed. She was afraid that Ting Jiu would continue asking.
Liao Jiake couldn’t lie in front of the live- stream camera. After all, everyone had seen the scene just now.
Fortunately, at this moment, the two servings of beef noodles ordered by Liao Jiake were already on the table. One of them was packed.
Liao Jiake picked up the chopsticks beside her and started eating anxiously. Ting Jiu threw the tissue into the trash can after wiping his mouth. When he saw Liao Jiake wolfing down the food, he thought that she was in a hurry to bring dinner back for her sister.
“Sister Liao, I can help you bring the beef noodles back.” Coincidentally, he was full and had nothing to do.
Liao Jiake looked up and declined politely. “I’ll bring it back myself later.”
“It’s fine. Sit down and eat slowly. I’ll help you bring the beef noodles back.” Ting Jiu stood up from the chair and took his things. Then, he picked up the packed beef noodles on the table. Before Liao Jiake could say anything, he took action.
[Little Jiu Jiu, you’re a straightforward man. If only you knew how to read the room, then you wouldn’t have asked such a question, hahahaha.]
[Who can reject Little Jiu Jiu calling her sister?]
[Ke Ke said: Don’t come over. I’m still waiting to go back and coax my sister.]
[Although Ke Ke doesn’t get along well with her sister, she still wants to bring her something to eat.]
[Help, he really took it away. He really took it away. What a kind man.]
For a moment, Liao Jiake was speechless as she watched Ting Jiu walk out of the beef noodle restaurant.
Meng Chuyuan and Lu Jinsen had yet to leave, but their team’s live-stream equipment had been taken away by Ting Jiu unconsciously.
From the moment they decided to row the boat, the production crew did not follow them and let the guests live-stream on their own.
Now, the two of them could only appear in Liao Jiake’s live-stream.
Meng Chuyuan looked up. Sensing the worry on Liao Jiake’s face, she spoke up for Ting Jiu. “Don’t worry. Little Jiu is quite reliable. He can settle things for you.”
“…” That wasn’t what she was worried about.
Liao Jiayan was still angry with her. If Ting Jiu saw Liao Jiayan later and mentioned her words in front of her, she didn’t know how she would react.
Seeing that she did not speak, Meng Chuyuan reminded her, “Eat quickly. It’s almost time to go back.”
At this moment, the director was still persuading Liao Jiayan, thinking of a way to calm her down and make her give up on the idea of quitting the recording.
Liao Jiayan said, “How much do I have to pay? Tell me.”
The director had been beating around the bush with her for a long time, but he had never mentioned the compensation fee for breaching the contract. This was because the audience had already accepted the lineup of permanent guests. This change of guests midway was a huge loss to the production team.
Even if they got her compensation for breaching the contract, it would not be able to fill this hole.
“Sister, can you empathize with me?”
The director’s face was filled with melancholy as he told her from the bottom of his heart, “If you have the money, you can just compensate for the breach of contract if you want to quit the recording. But I have to support the entire production team. If you quit, where can I find someone to replace you? Hiring someone also costs money, and they might not even have a schedule.”
Liao Jiayan asked calmly, “l can’t leave the Variety show for personal reasons, is that right?”
She had long regretted returning to China and agreeing to film a variety show with Liao Jiake.
Since they were sisters, she had already done so much for Liao Jiake. In the end, she still did not receive any respect. She felt that there was no need to continue cooperating.
The director looked around and realized that there were many staff members present. Hence, he led Liao Jiayan to a secluded corner.
Liao Jiayan was relatively calm in the face of trouble and did not fall out with the director just because he was unwilling to terminate the contract.
She followed the director over and asked straightforwardly, “How much did my sister pay you to invite her to the variety show?”
This question had been bothering Liao Jiayan for some time.
Liao Jiake hid her family relationship very well. Outsiders didn’t know that she had a younger sister. If it weren’t for the requirements for this variety show, everyone would think that Liao Jiake was an only child..
