"It's impossible for Yuanzhou shop to give up two days of business for any external factors, let alone a show," Yuan Zhou said tactfully.
Although the filming of Roll, Dear Beef would last for one day, according to the rules, the crew had to get used to each other the day before. Therefore, it would be delayed for two days.
What Yuan Zhou meant was, "I'm not targeting your show. I'm saying that everyone here is useless."
Yuan Zhou believed that the guy with the slickback would feel much better after hearing his tactful words.
"Also, a chef's kitchen is like an unmarried lady's bedroom. No one is allowed to enter," Yuan Zhou said.
The guy with the slickback fell silent. According to his usual routine, the next step would be to say that the compensation for the delay would be as much as 50,000 yuan. However, in front of Yuan Zhou, he couldn't bring himself to say it.
That was because the guy with the slickback remembered the data he had checked. It was the turnover of the Yuanzhou shop.
Compared to the turnover, even one-tenth of the turnover was a huge sum of money, let alone a full compensation.
"Boss Yuan, why don't you reconsider?" The guy with the slickback didn't know what to say. He realized that the advantage he had in the past couldn't be put to use now. Therefore, he could only try his best.
"How about this? If two days is not enough, I'll discuss with the director and reduce it to one day," the guy with the slickback said.
This time, before Yuan Zhou had time to answer, a male voice suddenly interrupted. It was rough and forceful.
"Roll, Dear Beef. Do you believe that I won't destroy your show?"
One of the top ten tumors of Yuanzhou shop, the eccentric painter, Wu Hai.
The man with the slickback recognized the man with a single glance. His messy hair that was mixed with weeds, his unique style of dressing, his neat mustache, and the temperament that came from his soul deeply revealed his identity.
"Compass usually takes leave from time to time. Now you want the shop to be closed for one day? Do you not want to walk out today?!" It was Wu Hai's roar.
To be honest, Roll, Dear Beef had a lot of reputation in the entertainment circle. But in front of a painter, it was useless. They were not on the same level. Most importantly, with Wu Hai's current reputation, he was not someone that could be easily bullied.
Therefore, the guy with the slickback didn't know how to answer.
On the Internet, a data expert, Kamu Yanzu, had calculated the top ten tumors of Yuanzhou shop. The voting method was anonymous, and Wu Hai got into the top three without any pressure.
"I think I understand." The guy with the slickback had no choice but to report his disagreement to his superior. Looking at Wu Hai who was glaring at him covetously, it was probably impossible for him to stop Yuan Zhou's restaurant.
The guy with the slickback told everything to the director, who then called for an emergency meeting.
"Compass, you have to love your country." Wu Hai said earnestly.
"Compass, you have to love your party." Wu Hai continued saying earnestly.
"Compass, you have to love the customers who support you." Wu Hai said earnestly at the end.
Yuan Zhou glanced at Wu Hai and a doubt arose in his heart. Why did Wu Hai seem to be more and more retarded? Shouldn't his IQ be higher after eating his food?
Seeing Yuan Zhou ignore him, Wu Hai didn't feel embarrassed. He turned around and sent this matter to the WeChat group. Everyone was ready to take action.
Wu Hai was like a mountain guard dog. He stroked his mustache and watched Yuan Zhou without blinking.
Yuan Zhou, on the other hand, looked as usual. He was preparing the Braised Pork of the 100 Styles of Rice Cuisine. First, he washed the rice grains without using his hands. Then, he started to soak it. This process would take a little longer.
Celebrities also had to line up like other customers. The restaurant wouldn't cooperate with them. To sum up, these were the two points that Yuan Zhou made.
On the other side, the director team also started a heated discussion. The guy with the slickback was waiting for the call. In his opinion, the director team wouldn't agree to it. Live directors hated things that were out of their control the most.
An hour later, the guy with the slickback entered the restaurant again with a strange expression.
"The program team agrees to your request, Boss Yuan. Celebrities will line up like other customers. However, for the sake of the celebrities' safety, there must be security guards at the entrance and in the alley," the guy with the slickback said, "I hope Boss Yuan can understand this."
This time, Yuan Zhou didn't say anything. Firstly, the matters outside the restaurant weren't under his jurisdiction. Secondly, it was true that some security guards were needed when a celebrity was traveling or participating in a program.
The guy with the slickback was curious as to why the director would agree to this condition.
On the contrary, Wu Hai, who was watching at the side, said straightforwardly, "Nowadays, the directors aren't smart when it comes to filming. However, they are good at creating gimmicks."
"What do you mean by creating gimmicks?" the guy with the slickback asked subconsciously.
"Why should I explain it to you? Are we very close?" Wu Hai's temper had never been good. He would scold anyone he met, let alone someone who almost starved him.
The guy with the slickback was speechless.
"The filming will start in half a month. I need to have a good sleep. Otherwise, I won't be able to get a spot." After saying that, Wu Hai left and went home to sleep.
Wu Hai decided to sleep for an hour more every day from today onwards. He wanted to be well prepared for the fight for a spot with the celebrities in half a month.
The guy with the slickback called the legal staff of the program team and discussed the contract with Yuan Zhou.
In the end, Yuan Zhou suddenly said,
"I have a suggestion. You can talk to the director about it."
"Go ahead." The guy with the slickback listened attentively.
Yuan Zhou said seriously, "Can you cut out all my scenes after the program ends? Or maybe censor me the whole time?"
"What?!" The guy with the slickback looked at Yuan Zhou dumbfounded. He was so anxious that he even blurted out English, "What?!"
Yuan Zhou frowned. This kid is so young, but why is his hearing so bad? Therefore, Yuan Zhou had no choice but to repeat what he said just now. This was the perfect solution that Yuan Zhou thought of.
"Boss Yuan, I heard you clearly. What I mean is, why is there such a suggestion? It doesn't make sense at all!" the guy with the slickback said with certainty.
Who wouldn't want to have more scenes on the show? Cutting out all his scenes and censoring the whole time was no different from being banned.
"I think this is a very reasonable request. Please help me convey it to the director." Yuan Zhou felt that it was too difficult to communicate with this retarded kid.
"Okay, I will. But are you sure?" The way the guy with the slickback looked at Yuan Zhou wasn't any better.
That was the way he looked at a weirdo.
"Thank you." Yuan Zhou said concisely.
"You're welcome. I will convey your request. Goodbye." The reason why the guy with the slickback said it again was to confirm Yuan Zhou's thoughts.
However, Yuan Zhou wasn't moved. He just nodded and continued with his work.
