Chapter 31: Yan Nai

Once the stream was paused, Li Jianyu gave a basic summary and announced the numbers from the morning.
“Our highest viewer count reached six million or so and had been the number one streamed show during its time. Everyone, thank you for your hard work!”
The staff on-site enthusiastically clapped.
“But…” Li Jianyu’s tone changed. “Today is Saturday after all, and daddy Shi—uh, Mr. Shi brings about his own traffic. If we want to rely on our content to bring in viewers, it might be difficult to maintain the quality while sporting the gimmicky title of a ‘variety show’.”
Although Yan Zhenhua was only a fly-in guest, he still provided suggestions nonetheless. “The location you’ve selected is very good. I think the production team can distribute some tasks so guests can attain rewards while completing certain tasks. For example, picking a basket of cherries could net them their choice of one dish for lunch.”
“Thank you, Director Yan, we will consider your suggestion.”
Then Li Jianyu went off to discuss with the producers and planners.
Xiang Yi suddenly wondered out loud, “Senior Shi, Director Yan, what would you guys like for lunch?”
Yan Zhenhua had expected the crew to order takeout and blurted out, “I hear the crawfish south of the city is famous, how about we have crawfish?”
Xiang Yi looked toward Shi Sui. The young actor’s jaw parted slightly, then said gently, “I’m good with anything.”
‘What an easy child to feed.’
As for Yan Nai, Xiang Yi straight up ignored him.
Toward people who disliked her, Xiang Yi didn’t waste her time and effort.
Yan Nai, who had just wanted to express his opinion: “…”
He felt like he was being targeted.
The phone in his sweatpants began to vibrate. Yan Nai hesitated for a moment, then found an empty corner before taking out his phone. The messages were all from one person.
[Sister Wanyan]: Ah Nai did you guys arrive yet
[Sister Wanyan]: Wow I’m watching your stream, you look dashing today!
[Sister Wanyan]: Actually I’m not here to talk to you about this, but that Xiang Yi is so… mmm I’m not trying to instigate conflict since we used to be like sisters before, but just because I advised her to not seduce Shi Yingdi and go on a crooked path, she…
A few screenshots followed.
It showed that Qin Wanyan had used WeChat, SMS, and other methods to reach Xiang Yi, but Xiang Yi didn’t respond.
Yan Nai pursed his lips. Since childhood, his father had always been busy and his mother strict. Qin Wanyan had appeared in his life like a gentle and considerate big sister. He was very dependent on Qin Wanyan and almost thought of her as his own sister.
In the past year, Qin Wanyan and Xiang Yi had become like sisters and the bestest of friends. He had met Xiang Yi a couple times before, but he had no good impression of her.
She was vain, ostentatious, loved to dress up, and had a bad attitude toward the service staff. More importantly, she had once treated him…
Thinking back, Yan Nai’s face turned pale as a feeling of nausea swelled in his stomach.
But with his sensitive nature and inferiority complex, he dared not say anything cruel to Xiang Yi. After thinking about it, Yan Nai responded with the most cruel sentence he could think of—
[WukeNAIhe]: Sis, don’t worry. I won’t eat anything she touches!
Chapter 32: Spicy Crayfish 1

From the other end of the conversation, Qin Wanyan: “…”
The corners of her mouth twitched on her delicately made up face.
Was this Yan Nai an idiot? She had said so much, hinting for him to deal with Xiang Yi, or maybe at least even start a conflict with her. That way, the netizens would scold her to death.
But all he could muster was to not eat anything she touched. What kind of threat was this?!
At the Xiang family.
Seeing Xiang Yi begin to process the crayfish, Yan Zhenhua was taken aback. “Little girl, you know how to cook, too?”
“Just a bit.” Xiang Yi casually responded.
She had prepared the crayfish for Xiang Feng anyway. She had soaked them in clear water in advance with salt and white vinegar.
Xiang Yi had scrubbed out most of the dirt and sand by now, using a special brush to scrub the shell and claws one by one. She then cut off the gills and heads and then removed the thread. Each crayfish had been cleanly processed with no room for error.
Looking at her skillful movements, Yan Zhenhua knew that her cooking was not going to be unpleasant and praised her, “Not bad, little girl; there are too many young kids nowadays who don’t know how to cook.”
Yan Nai clenched his fist in secret. Although he loved to eat crayfish, he would never eat anything made by Xiang Yi! Not even a bite!
Xiang Yi’s actions were meticulous yet nimble, and it didn’t take her long to process all the crayfish. She then asked, “Director Yan, Senior Shi, can you guys handle spicy food?”
Yan Zhenhua rubbed his belly and looked toward Xiang Yi with a kind gaze. “Me and Ah Nai both can handle spicy food, but Shi Sui, that child, cannot. At most, he could tolerate mild.”
In the whole entertainment industry, he was probably the only one who dared to call Shi Sui a ‘child’.
Xiang Yi nodded. “Okay, then I’ll make two flavors. One numbing spicy, and one minced garlic. I’ll start now. Shall we eat mixed noodles later?”
“Yes yes, that would be great!” Crayfish soup was the soul of the dish, and it could not be more perfect mixed with noodles.
Li Jianyu’s meeting with the others had just concluded when he discovered that Xiang Yi had already finished processing the ingredients.
Old Zhang, the cameraman, smacked his lips just now, still reminiscing about the bowl of seafood congee. Seeing that the ingredients had already been properly processed, he couldn’t help but whisper, “Director Li, maybe Xiang Yi does know how to cook? It actually looks pretty decent.”
Li Jianyu was also befuddled. He didn’t hear from anyone that Xiang Yi knew how to cook.
“Click—” The switch on the gas stove was turned on, and a faint blue flame appeared. Xiang Yi calmly heated the oil, then added the onion, ginger, and garlic until it was fragrant. After the oil was heated, she threw in a piece of homemade beef oil hotpot base that emitted a domineering and brutal scent that quickly filled everyone’s nasal cavities.
One word: fragrant!
Old Zhang and Li Jianyu looked at the girl with thin limbs with a dumbfounded expression as she flayed and stirred a large wok full of crayfish. She even tossed the wok a few times!
“Everyone, get ready to film! Song, hurry and get the lighting in place! Fei Fei, check the stream equipment! Old Zhang, Jing Ge, Xiao Sen—”
Before he could finish speaking, Lao Zhang and the other three cameramen had skillfully found their positions behind their equipment already!
