149: Roasted lamb on the grassland, neither male nor female

Jiang Chuan hadn't expected to receive such an unexpected surprise during this set visit, gaining over a hundred sincere thanks.

Jiang Chuan and Mu Qingcheng leaned against each other, sitting in the desert, gazing at the starry sky. This moment felt like a fairy tale.

Mu Qingcheng's filming was only a few days from completion, and she wanted Jiang Chuan to stay.

Jiang Chuan had nothing planned for that period, so he agreed.

Of course, staying with the crew naturally required the Director's permission.

After a barrage of persuasive words from Jiang Chuan, Director Zhang immediately agreed.

The next day, the food truck and water truck arrived at the set once more.

The crew members looked at Jiang Chuan and Mu Qingcheng in disbelief.

One had to understand that the amount Jiang Chuan prepared was for the entire crew, plus other expenses, totaling at least a million for a single event. They hadn't expected to enjoy it once and then again.

"I know everyone has worked hard filming in the desert. From now on, in the evenings, everyone should eat and drink well."

"Young Master Jiang has covered all our expenses until we leave this place, so let's all thank Old Jiang."

Director Zhang also had the entire crew express their thanks to Jiang Chuan.

Time flew by.

Five days passed in a flash.

The crew's filming was nearing its end. The crew members were currently packing their belongings, preparing to leave... With the final scenes wrapped, the crew members instantly relaxed.

They had been here for almost a month and were finally leaving this godforsaken place. Everyone's face was beaming with smiles.

"It's finally over! When we return to the city, I'll treat everyone to a whole roasted lamb for the wrap party. This time, it's all you can eat."

Director Zhang, full of generosity, said with a smile to everyone.

"Director Zhang is mighty!"

"Director Zhang, you're the coolest! I've always heard that Xinjiang lamb skewers are delicious and authentic, and I've always wanted to try them but never had the chance."

"That's right, Director Zhang! I can eat a whole lamb, so don't be stingy with the money then."

...The crew members laughed and joked upon hearing Director Zhang's words.

"Time to go home."

All luggage packed, everyone drove away from the desert and returned to Tianhe City.

Tianhe City's jade is famous nationwide, and its lamb is also excellent.

They arrived in Tianhe City, but there wasn't a single place large enough to accommodate so many people for a whole roasted lamb feast.

"Let me ask around," Jiang Chuan said with a smile, seeing the disappointed expressions of the crew members.

He contacted a local friend who had been providing his meals, and the friend explicitly told Jiang Chuan that there wasn't a venue large enough in the city for whole roasted lamb.

If Jiang Chuan and the others were willing, they could go to his family's grassland.

Everyone could enjoy whole roasted lamb on the grassland, which would solve the venue problem.

Jiang Chuan informed Director Zhang of this.

Director Zhang asked the crew members, and not a single person objected; everyone agreed.

The group quickly arrived at the boss's private grassland.

The grassland stretched as far as the eye could see, very comfortable.

The crew members could also play games and scroll on their phones on the grassland.

Jiang Chuan and Mu Qingcheng strolled leisurely across the grassland.

Director Zhang was indeed generous, arranging fifty whole roasted lambs, with more to be brought if needed.

The grassland boss, knowing Jiang Chuan was a big customer, brought out the liquor he had been saving at home.

The crew members, holding their drinks and eating lamb, thanked Director Zhang and Jiang Chuan.

"Old Jiang, are you going back to work after this?" Mu Qingcheng asked subtly, eating lamb and drinking wine.

"Probably nothing. Why?" Jiang Chuan asked with a smile, looking at Mu Qingcheng beside him.

"I'm planning to ask you to accompany me to the US. A good college friend of mine moved to the US for work, and she's now married to an American husband and has invited me to her wedding. I plan to go."

"Okay," Jiang Chuan agreed with a smile.

Mu Qingcheng's smile grew even brighter when she heard Jiang Chuan agree without hesitation to go to the US.

"Isn't that Director Zhang?"

"Director Zhang, are you filming here?"

The crew members were chatting when suddenly, a surprised voice reached Jiang Chuan and the others.

Then, they saw a Young Man dressed in an ambiguous, made-up style, whose gender was hard to discern, walking out with a 'pinching flower' gesture.

Jiang Chuan frowned at the Young Man's appearance but said nothing.

"Sister Qingcheng is here too!"

"Brother Li, I'm sorry, I didn't see you..."

This Young Man was clearly a social butterfly; no one had invited him, but he walked over on his own, enthusiastically greeting everyone.

Director Zhang, Mu Qingcheng, and Heavenly King Li looked at the approaching Young Man and didn't want to engage with him.

"Director Zhang, can I sit here?"

The Young Man just smiled, a hidden anger in his eyes. He didn't show it and sat directly next to Jiang Chuan.

"Excuse me, I don't like anyone sitting next to me," Jiang Chuan said coldly, his expression growing even uglier as he caught a whiff of the Young Man's pungent perfume.

"Who are you? Director Zhang, Brother Li, and Sister Qingcheng haven't said anything. What right do you have to speak?" The Young Man, hearing Jiang Chuan's words, looked at him, realized he didn't recognize him at all, and immediately mocked him.

"He doesn't have the right to sit here, and you certainly don't have the right to sit here!" Mu Qingcheng immediately spoke up to protect Jiang Chuan, hearing this effeminate man dare to mock him.

"Sister Qingcheng, you..."

"Don't call me that. We're not familiar," Mu Qingcheng said to the Young Man with a cold expression.

"Mu Qingcheng, I'm giving you face by calling you Sister Qingcheng. If I don't give you face, you're nothing!" The Young Man, hearing Mu Qingcheng's words, and noticing the other people's schadenfreude, said furiously.

Slap!

As the Young Man's words fell, a slap landed directly on his face.

Jiang Chuan had naturally held back; otherwise, one slap could have killed the opponent.

"You damn guy, you dare hit me? Do you know who I am?"

"I'm telling you, if you don't kneel and apologize to Li Wei today, I'll make sure you regret it!" Li Wei was knocked to the ground by Jiang Chuan's slap. He covered his face, looking at Jiang Chuan in disbelief, wanting to retaliate, but seeing Jiang Chuan's physique, he instantly resorted to threats.

"Get lost," Jiang Chuan said disdainfully in response to Li Wei's threat.

"Alright, alright, alright, you remember this! I'll definitely make you regret it, just you wait!" Li Wei scanned the area, and seeing no one helping him, he left, leaving behind his threats.

"Young Master Jiang, you were impulsive."

"That's right, Young Master Jiang."

"Li Wei is nothing, just a small actor, but he has a Young Master from Hangzhou City behind him. That person is very difficult to deal with and might cause you some trouble."

"Young Master Jiang, Director Zhang is right. I've also heard that an actor who offended Li Wei was directly blacklisted by the person behind him."

...Mu Qingcheng heard their concern for Jiang Chuan but said nothing, just smiled, completely unconcerned.

"It's fine. Everyone, eat and drink well. If anything really happens, I can handle it," Jiang Chuan said with a smile to everyone, not taking it to heart.
