Divorced and Determined: The CEO's Ex-Wife Fights for Love-Chapter 221

Chapter 221

This stir-fried noodles really is something!!

Zhai Lin broke out in cold sweat. The moment he took the first bite of the stir-fried noodles, he was completely stunned!

His body uncontrollably wanted a second bite!

A third bite!

As he chewed, the crispy rice noodles bounced around in his mouth, the savory and rich ham cubes, and the tender, almost fish-like eggs created a delightful taste that kept teasing his taste buds. It was impossible to stop!

When you encounter this kind of stir-fried noodles, who can even remember their lines?

Zhai Lin stopped talking.

Wen Zhiyong was puzzled.

Why was Zhai Lin also experiencing the same issue as Wu Chen?

Assistant Director Chen Dong looked on, confused. Shu Man’er and the other actors also had stunned expressions.

What’s going on here?

The onlookers outside murmured.

“What’s happening? Is this scene that difficult?”

“Why is everyone forgetting their lines after eating the noodles?”

“Have these actors never eaten street-side stir-fried noodles before? No way!”

“Haha! So it’s Mr. Lu’s stir-fried noodles! Okay, that explains it! We understand now!”

“What’s so special about it? Is the stir-fry really that good?”

“Can’t explain it, you’ve got to try it yourself. You’ll be spending your meal allowance at Lu Ji every month!”

“No way! Really?”

“Mr. Lu is amazing! I love seeing these celebrities acting like they’ve never had stir-fried noodles!”

“This is hilarious! One plate of stir-fried noodles has made two seasoned actors forget to act! What if we brought out crystal shrimp dumplings, Bosi oil cake, twice-cooked pork, or mapo tofu… what would happen then?”

“Stop naming dishes, buddy! You’re making us hungry!”

“When are we finishing this? I’m waiting to buy some Lu Ji snacks!”

…

On the set, Director Wen walked up to Zhai Lin. He looked at the veteran actor, then at Wu Chen, still confused. At this point, Wu Chen felt no pressure anymore.

See? It’s all the noodles’ fault.

Zhai Lin, the veteran actor, was just as affected! No one was immune!

Wu Chen secretly enjoyed seeing Zhai Lin’s embarrassment. Wasn’t he the one trying to lecture me before?

Now, look at you, all red in the face. Feels good, doesn’t it?

Zhai Lin said nothing. He silently handed the remaining third of his stir-fried noodles to Wen Zhiyong.

He gave him a look, signaling, “You’ll understand once you try this stir-fried noodles.”

Wen Zhiyong frowned, didn’t bother changing his chopsticks, and grabbed a bite of the noodles.

Immediately, the same expression appeared on Wen Zhiyong’s face. His eyes slowly rolled, then stopped, displaying the words “Delicious”!

The crew members all stared at Wen Zhiyong. From his expression, they could tell the key information. The stir-fried noodles must be exceptionally good!

So good that even the set tyrant, Director Wen, didn’t say a word!

Wen Zhiyong took one more bite, then silently finished the remaining third of the noodles and tossed the plastic food box into the trash.

“Xiao He!” 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

He called his assistant over.

“We can’t use Mr. Lu’s noodles. Go outside and buy some regular stir-fried noodles or something. Hurry up!”

“Yes, yes, okay.”

The assistant was confused but quickly obeyed and ran out of the set.

Wen Zhiyong told the crew, “Take a short break. We’ll shoot once the props arrive.”

Then he walked towards Lu Qin.

At this point, everyone figured it out.

Shu Man’er was the first to walk over to Wu Chen and nudged his arm, asking, “Wu Chen, is Mr. Lu’s stir-fried noodles really that good?”

“Absolutely! Didn’t you see I messed up twice already?”

Hearing Wu Chen’s answer, Shu Man’er felt a bit hungry. She wasn’t the only one feeling that way. Several other actors, like Peng Kai, were also tempted. Director Wen walked up to Lu Qin, his serious face replaced with a smile.

“Mr. Lu, I’m hungry. What do you have on your food cart?”

Seeing business coming, Lu Qin stood up, pointing to the electronic menu on the cart.

“Here, everything we’re selling today is listed up there. You can take a look.”

Lu Qin walked over, and a minor role actor quickly stepped aside.

“I’ll take an order of stir-fried noodles with two portions of ham. Mr. Lu, start cooking, I’ll decide on the rest in a bit!” Wen Zhiyong said as he studied the menu.

He glanced at the menu and was surprised by how many food options Mr. Lu’s street food cart had.

“Mr. Lu, I also want an order of Yu Xiang shredded pork, Princess Chicken wings, and a piece of this Ice Crystal Cake dessert, plus a cup of green bean soup.”

Wen Zhiyong ordered a “Food and Drink Combo”, which was sure to fill him up.

Lu Qin began preparing the stir-fried noodles, and other dishes were taken out of the heat-preserving container. Wen Zhiyong couldn’t wait any longer.

“Mr. Lu, don’t pack it in bags. Just give it to me directly! How much is it?”

“One hundred and six dollars and fifty cents.”

Wen Zhiyong scanned the QR code to pay and walked over to sit down in front of the monitor, holding the food. Then… he opened the stir-fried noodles, his face filled with excitement.

Bam! Bam! Bam!

Started showing off!

While eating the noodles, he opened the containers of Princess Chicken wings and Yu Xiang shredded pork. When he tasted those two perfect Sichuan dishes, his face was filled with joy.

This was the ultimate!

The ultimate delicacy!

Wen Zhiyong, who had been through countless dinner parties and tasted countless delicacies, now realized that the taste he was experiencing was “something that should only exist in heaven, not something you’d taste on earth!”

The other people on set stared at Wen Zhiyong’s actions and expressions, stunned for a while. Then they started to feel an urge to try the food. The first one to act was Wu Chen.

Since Wen Zhiyong said it was a break, what was there to wait for? He quickly ran over to get stir-fried noodles!

The second one was Zhai Lin!

The third was Chen Dong!

Shu Man’er tried to hold her dignity and asked her assistant to go buy the food. But when she saw the entire crew running over to the food cart, she knew there was no time to wait for her assistant anymore. She quickly stood up.

In an instant, a long line formed in front of Lu Qin’s food cart.

“Mr. Lu, two portions of stir-fried noodles! What’s this Bosi oil cake? Never mind! I’ll take one! Any drinks? Two iced green bean soups!”

“I want a portion of stir-fried noodles! You’ve got dry fried fish? That’s my favorite! One portion!”

“Is there milk tea? What is it? Osmanthus oolong? One cup!”

“Mr. Lu, stir-fry some noodles! Ice Crystal Cake! One box! Pickled chili chicken feet! One portion!”

…

When the crew started eating Lu Ji’s food, whether they were hungry or not, they all began indulging in a meal. It was like watching a large-scale eating show.

“Man’er, are you crazy? It’s stir-fried noodles, so oily, how high in calories is that?”

Shu Man’er, who usually only ate vegetable salad and focused on her figure, didn’t listen to her assistant’s warning. She pushed them away and started devouring the stir-fried noodles with big mouthfuls.

Once done, she slurped down a cup of Osmanthus oolong milk tea. It was so comfortable, like floating in the clouds!

The young male lead Peng Kai was also eating with his mouth full of oil, and his assistant couldn’t stop him. They were about to cry!

The crew members, while eating stir-fried noodles, realized that what they’d eaten before, those boxed meals, were garbage. If they could eat such delicious food every day, they’d live in the crew forever.

The extras, who made 100 to 150 a day, hadn’t even received their pay yet, but they’d already spent all of it on this meal. The entire set was filled with the sound of people eating.

The producer returned from outside after ordering lunch boxes, only to see everyone sitting or standing with chopsticks in hand, already eating. He was utterly confused.

What’s going on here?

How did the restaurant work so efficiently? They just ordered lunch boxes, and they were delivered right away?

Also, it wasn’t even time for the crew to eat yet!
