"What did you just say about green?"
"Ahem, it’s about ratings, Zuzi. It’s the ratio of people who watched the first episode of our TV series to all those who watched online. The higher the rating, the more popular our show is. They say this year’s highest rating record is only fifteen percent. Sigh, no one loves watching dramas anymore. If we reach ten percent, that would be pretty good."
"Oh, that’s the kind of green..." Zuzi pondered for a mont, "If you want it greener, they should eat less."
"Ah?" Wu Qianman was dumbfounded, "This..."
Even from such a distance, Zuzi knew their crew was now obsessed with eating and drinking.
Zuzi smiled slightly, "Especially you."
"I, I, I..." Wu Qianman stamred for a mont, feeling a bit dejected, "Zuzi, I thought after the grind of the college entrance exams, I’d beco a very disciplined and self-controlled person. I never expected to be so easily defeated by food temptation, just the sll is so enticing! Now I understand how hard it is for those trying not to gain weight, resisting food temptation is so difficult..."
Zuzi chuckled, not pushing her, her tone light as the sumr evening breeze, "Xiao Man, recite the Heart Clarity Spell, do sothing else, just don’t think about it. It’s that simple to break its spell, it’s no big deal."
Wu Qianman took a deep breath, instinctively pulling in her stomach.
"I’ve got it! Zuzi!"
After hanging up the phone, Wu Qianman put on three layers of masks, geared up tightly, even plugging her ears, before leaving the dorm room rented by the crew.
As expected, out in the living room, everyone had ordered another huge table of late-night snacks, eating with great enthusiasm.
Ma Xiaogang’s face was flushed as he ate, he called out to her, "Xiao Man, co, have a drink! This goose liver with alcohol is absolutely amazing!"
Wu Qianman pointed to the earplugs she was wearing, pretending not to hear, silently chanting the Heart Clarity Spell, holding her breath as she quickly weaved through the crowd and made her escape.
Ah, thankfully, thankfully, that sll didn’t get to her, her willpower indeed strengthened a lot, able to resist now.
Zuzi said to do sothing else...
Yes! She decided to go for a run, it’s better to use this ti of indulgence to help an old lady cross the street, to do more good deeds.
As everyone watched Wu Qianman leave, they continued to bury themselves in eating, preparing to welco the premiere of the first episode. Eating while watching the drama, it was simply a sweet, blissful, divine life.
Wu Qianman ran ten thousand steps, worked up a sweat, helped a girl who sprained her ankle while jump rope dieting to the hospital, and also helped a delivery guy who was accidentally sideswiped by a large truck, flipping himself and his motorcycle into the green belt, by calling the police and with ease delivered his last urgent package to a client in need as he lay there with a broken bone unable to move...
After finishing all that, it was just half an hour to eight.
She hurried back to the dorm rented by the crew.
Upon entering, she found that the director and colleagues were still eating heartily, heavens, and clearly it was a new round, with another style of goose liver, cold, sliced neatly on pretty ice with floral decorations.
Wu Qianman took a deep breath, suddenly realizing that the goose liver didn’t seem so appealing to her anymore.
Maybe it was because she was wearing a mask.
Oh no, wait, she took off the mask when she was running!
Wu Qianman’s mind suddenly beca clear, rembering Zuzi’s golden words.
Ah, truly, doing sothing else, at peace and clear-minded, the temptation of food is no big deal!
