The bag hit Liu Qingsong, but he didn't move at all, and the food in the bag scattered all over the floor.

He picked up the food from the ground and put it into the bag one by one, then spoke with a cold face:

"It's already this late and you're still complaining? I spent several hours to find these. I also want to find clean food, but there are no houses within a few kilometers. For the sake of survival, you have to make do with this."

Zhao Haimei was so desperate that she cried out, "I'm a CEO, and you want me to eat food picked up from the garbage dump? How can you say that?"

Liu Qingsong smiled helplessly and pointed out the current situation clearly:

"There are two paths before us: either turn yourself in and I'll take the blame, or throw away your so-called face and dignity and eat this food in order to survive."

Zhao Haimei's face was full of disgust. "I won't eat it! This is garbage that only beggars eat. I'm not a beggar. I'm a person of status and position."

Liu Qingsong shook his head and smiled helplessly.

"Hai Mei, face the reality! We are worse than beggars now. At least beggars have freedom, but what about us? We live in shame and dare not even see people."

After that, he took out the moldy bun from the bag, peeled off the top layer, stuffed it into his mouth, and chewed it with big mouthfuls...

As he ate, he began to shed sad tears...

Seeing this scene, Zhao Haimei rushed to him like crazy, pulled his arm and begged in a low voice:

"Qingsong, go find a way. You can spend any amount of money. I want to eat clean food. We have plenty of money, tens of millions..."

Liu Qingsong's expression was serious. "You can go out, but there is no guarantee that I can come back. You'd better think it through!"

Zhao Haimei was scared. "How about you go out after dark, even if you have to steal or rob, I want to eat clean food."

Liu Qingsong thought Zhao Haimei was simply crazy.

For the sake of so-called dignity, she actually forced him to do things he was unwilling to do.

He refused decisively, "If you want to steal or rob, go do it yourself! I can't do it!"

This sentence completely angered Zhao Haimei. She stepped forward with a ferocious look on her face, grabbed Liu Qingsong's collar and asked:

"Are you still a man? You can't even do this for me! You must go today!"

Liu Qingsong shook off Zhao Haimei and retorted coldly, "You are simply crazy! I ended up like this because I believed you. Now, you want to seduce me again. These are the foods. If you want to eat them, eat them. If you don't want to eat them, forget it!"

Zhao Haimei's face changed. She held Liu Qingsong's arm and cried softly, "Qingsong, didn't you say you loved me and were willing to go through fire and water for me? Have you forgotten what you said?"

Liu Qingsong felt extremely disgusted with Zhao Haimei's face. No matter how she cried, Liu Qingsong remained unmoved.

"That was my previous thought. What can I get in return if I give you my heart? You are just using my kindness and sincerity to achieve your goals. Do you think I will still be loyal to you?

You are so overconfident, Zhao Haimei. Let me tell you, if it weren't for the baby in your belly, I would have slapped you to death! Do you really think you are a young lady? A respected CEO? To put it bluntly, you are a vicious woman with a snake heart and a Buddha mouth!"

Liu Qingsong pushed Zhao Haimei away fiercely and threw the food in the bag in front of her. "If you want to live, eat it obediently. If you don't want to live, go outside and find the clean food you want to eat."

After saying that, he turned and went into the tent.

Zhao Haimei stood there, speechless.

A gust of wind blew by, ruffling Zhao Haimei's already dry hair and blowing away the bags scattered on the ground.

The wind carried the sand from the ground and dropped it onto the food in the bag.

The next second, Zhao Haimei knelt on the ground, tears streaming down her face, and subconsciously protected the bag on the ground with both hands...

Corporate office.

Director Gao carefully knocked on Sun Xue's office door.

At this time, Sun Xue was discussing company matters with Bach.

"Director Gao, do you have something to talk to me about?"

Director Gao smiled broadly, glanced at Bach, and said, "Mr. Sun, what do you think of what I told you a few days ago?"

Sun Xue asked back, "What? Did you convince them to stay?"

"Yes, I spent a lot of time and effort to persuade them, but..." Director Gao hesitated.

"But what?" Sun Xue frowned.

"I promised them that I would pay them half a year's salary in advance, and they reluctantly agreed."

"Paying half a year's salary in advance? I can't do that!"

"Mr. Sun, how about this? You can give me an advance on the activity funds first, and I will negotiate this matter with them. If I can't do it, I will return the money to you without a cent less."

When Sun Xue heard Director Gao's tone, she realized something was wrong.

"Activity funds? How much do you want?"

Director Gao thought for a moment and said, "At least... two hundred thousand."

Sun Xue shook her head decisively, "I'm sorry Director Gao, let alone 200,000, I can't even come up with 20,000. You also know that the company's money was swindled away by President Zhao."

Director Gao did not give up and continued to lobby, "Boss Sun, two hundred thousand is not a lot at all. Think about it, if all the actors and staff withdraw, your investment of tens of millions will be wasted. Compared with two hundred thousand, I'm sure you know which is more important..."

Sun Xue smiled and said, "Thank you Director Gao. I'm sorry for your trouble. I have signed a contract with Mr. Wu. If he insists on withdrawing the team, he will be responsible for the company's losses."

Seeing that his plan had failed, Director Gao said disdainfully, "Boss Sun, I am sincerely trying to help you. If you don't listen, I have no choice. I will leave first."

Then he walked out of the office in disgrace.

Originally, he was counting on Zhao Haimei to help him persuade the actors and staff to stay.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Haimei has become a wanted criminal now, so how could she care about his trivial matters?

In desperation, he wanted to cheat Sun Xue out of 200,000 yuan by claiming it was activity funds and then run away.

Unexpectedly, Sun Xue changed her attitude and finally did not fall into his trap.

The reason why Sun Xue didn't fall into Director Gao's trap was that she saw through Director Gao's scam at a glance.

Besides, Boss Jin had already hinted to her that he had leverage over Wu Zechen.

He said that not only would Wu Zechen admit his mistake to her, but he would also take the initiative to withdraw the lawsuit, sit down calmly to negotiate the withdrawal of investment, and most likely fulfill the three-year contract signed previously.

That means he will keep the filming crew.

On the third day of Bach's arrival in Quancheng City, Li Siyu actually followed him to Quancheng City.

Sun Xue warmly welcomed Li Siyu and invited them to dinner.

However, what puzzled Sun Xue was that Li Siyu was very enthusiastic, and even her eyes were shining when she looked at Bach.

But Sun Xue did not see the joy of reunion between lovers after a long separation on the face of Bach who was sitting next to her.

While Bach was in the bathroom, Sun Xue joked, "Xiao Li, how are you and Bach progressing? I'm looking forward to eating your wedding candy."
