"Eat the steak first, eat the steak first!" Lu Chiyan pushed the steak in front of Qin Sili. "No rush, we'll talk after we finish eating!"
Qin Sili: "..."
Well... okay then...
Logically speaking, a steak only needs to be seared over a fire, so there shouldn't be any problem, right?
"Shall I eat first?" Qin Sili said, picking up his knife and fork and cutting a piece of steak.
Goodness, when I cut into it, the steak was still oozing blood. Only the surface was slightly cooked; the inside was practically raw.
Lu Chiyan looked at it and awkwardly moved the plate away. "Ah, this... this is the first time I've fried it, the heat was too low, so it might not be cooked through inside... But, even a rare steak is still a steak, right?"
Qin Sili: "..."
It's not that you're wrong!
"Then you eat this!" Lu Chiyan placed another steak in front of Qin Sili. "You eat this! I fried this later, you can definitely eat it!"
Are you really sure it's safe to eat?
The surface is completely charred black...
Well... okay then...
Qin Sili nodded, picked up his knife and fork again, and cut a small piece from the second steak.
Hmm... it's a bit difficult to cut.
Lu Chiyan a slight twitch of his lips, then said awkwardly again, "It seems the heat was too high again this time, and the steak is overcooked... But... a well-done steak is still a steak, right?"
Qin Sili: "..."
That makes sense!
Qin Sili looked at Lu Chiyan with a wry smile, put down his knife and fork, and said, "Just leave the kitchen alone. If you want steak, I'll take you out. What trouble do you need? Just tell me."
"Um..." Lu Chiyan, feigning cuteness, "Brother, I'm poor, I need money!"
Qin Sili: "???"
"Here's what happened!" Lu Chiyan pulled up a chair and sat down opposite Qin Sili. "I recently read a new script and really liked it, so I went to meet the director today."
"It's a very young, new director named Ying Feng. He wrote the script himself; it's a completely original script. But this Xiao Ying doesn't have any connections or money, and he doesn't want to just sell the script so easily. He wants to direct it himself. I've talked to him, and I think his ideas are quite mature. The biggest problem now is the lack of money!"
"So, you prepared this whole candlelight dinner just to get money?" Qin Sili Lu Chiyan. "If you want money, just say so. Do you think I won't give it to you?"
"But I'm asking for a bit too much this time." Lu Chiyan weakly held up two fingers. "It might cost two hundred million."
Qin Sili: "???"
"Two hundred million? That's all? You call that a lot?" Qin Sili asked sincerely, his expression showing confusion and bewilderment.
Now it was Lu Chiyan surprised. "Two hundred million isn't enough?"
Qin Sili chuckled softly, "Mr. Lu, it seems you know nothing about your boyfriend's financial situation."
"Okay." Qin Sili nodded. "Two hundred million, I'll give it to you. But I have a question."
What's the problem?
"This new director you mentioned, since he has no connections and no money, how did his script end up in your hands?"
Lu Chiyan paused, seemingly realizing something was amiss after Qin Sili's reminder. "Oh right!"
"All the scripts I receive are from Qian Le," Lu Chiyan. "Wait, I'll go ask Qian Le."
