“Don’t you want to know?” Shen Lan asked.
Guo Miao picked up the bag on the table and stuffed it back into Shen Lan’s hands.
“You fell into the swamp yesterday because of this recording pen?” Guo Miao asked.
Thinking back to what had happened before, Guo Miao could imagine what was recorded in the recording pen.
“Although she’s injured, she doesn’t seem like she’ll quit the competition for the role. I want to add fuel to the fire.” Shen Lan said, “She tried to steal my role time and time again. If 1 don’t hit her when she’s down, why would 1 wait for her to come back?”
Shen Lan gritted her teeth as she said this. Those who didn’t know better would think that Su Liu had dug up their family’s ancestral grave.
“I won’t help you,” Guo Miao said.
“After Su Liu returns, she will definitely step on you to get to the top.” Shen Lan said, “She will definitely think of a way to push this blame on you. It’s better for us to join forces to deal with her.”
Guo Miao looked up at Shen Lan, her gaze giving the latter a fright.
“No need.” Guo Miao didn’t plan to stay in the entertainment industry, and she didn’t want to get involved in such matters.
“Then, what about the other condition 1 mentioned? Don’t you want to know?” Shen Lan said, “In the heart of Old Madam Tong, you are already the granddaughter-in-law of the Tongs.”
The Tongs’ granddaughter-in-law?
Guo Miao didn’t react for a moment.
“Tong Pei went to Fog City for a vacation just for you. You didn’t really think that he went there to discuss business, did you?” Shen Lan’s tone was filled with ridicule as she said, “Little girl, 1 know you don’t understand love, but I understand it much better than you.”
Shen Lan’s red nails tapped on Guo Miao’s desk. There was a bag there, and inside it were some snacks. Guo Miao was told that the hotel had sent them over.
“This isn’t something the hotel sent. Tong Pei queued up this morning to buy it.” Shen Lan smiled.
The logo on the bag was from a famous local snack shop. It only had a limited supply every day, and the queue often started in the morning.
“Moreover, he came to Country M because he pushed back a meeting with a foreign big shot. Don’t you think he’s got very special feelings for you?” Shen Lan said as she observed Guo Miao’s expression.
Normally, people would be very excited to hear such words, but Guo Miao still had a calm expression on her face.
“Well, I’m not interested in snooping about other people’s privacy,” Guo Miao said as she opened the door. “Please leave first.”
Looking at Guo Miao’s stubborn expression, Shen Lan rolled her eyes angrily and turned to leave the room.
After Shen Lan left, Guo Miao looked at the pastries in the bag and was slightly stunned.
The production team stayed in Country M for a few days before returning to China.
When Guo Miao got home, it was still three o’clock in the afternoon. She had time to go to Guo Fu and Lu Hai’s new shop.
It was a restaurant selling home-cooked food near Haicheng High School. It had been in preparation for some time and was scheduled to open soon.
Just as she reached the door, Guo Miao heard a commotion.
“I told you that your store has excessive amounts of formaldehyde. Are you blind? Isn’t there a test strip here?” A sharp female voice came from the hall.
“Don’t be agitated. We’ve already tested it many times. If it’s possible, can you provide us with some professional test papers from your end? That way, we can wait until we meet the standards before calling you over.” The one who spoke was Guo Fu.
“Yes, it mustn’t have been easy for you to come here. Do you want to try our new dish while you calm down?” Lu Hai added.
“Hmph, how would I dare to eat the food provided by you? Who knows if you’re cooking with lousy ingredients?” The woman’s voice was like a knife, piercing people’s eardrums.
Guo Miao walked into the hall and saw the owner of the voice.
It was a middle-aged woman dressed in the uniform of the Industry and Commerce Bureau. When she saw Guo Miao, her eyes paused for a moment.
“This is my daughter. This is Miss Zhang Lu from the Industry and Commerce Bureau,” Guo Fu introduced.
The woman sized Guo Miao up and gave her a disdainful look. “You have a child too. If anything happens to the children from Haicheng High School who come to your place to eat, what will their parents think?”
Guo Fu quickly nodded. “Miss Zhang, we will definitely rectify it. We will definitely meet the standards next time.”
Zhang Lu snorted coldly. “You guys had better sell the shop quickly. It’s impossible for this shop of yours to open..”
