Chapter 440: Chapter 446: Tit for Tat (6)

This comes later. In any case, when the main group arrived later, Yu Zexiao and Situ Xuan instantly became amicable. By the time Director Li arrived, Yu Zexiao had already "returned to amiable terms" with Situ Xuan.

Yu Zexiao had reserved a felt tent, serving Inner Mongolian cuisine. The entire restaurant resembled a series of miniature yurts. Privacy and ethnic characteristics were both maximized.

True to Yu Zexiao’s personality, he naturally chose the largest felt tent in the center, big enough to accommodate hundreds of people. Several round tables were arranged around it like worshippers around the moon, with a whole roasted lamb at the very center, turning on a spit over the fire, emitting wafts of savory aroma.

Yu Zexiao greeted everyone with the host’s posture, and even cast a special glance at Situ Xuan following behind, "In the United States, you probably can’t get such an authentic roasted whole lamb, right? No worries, our Huaxia Country is rich in resources, far surpassing the Western steaks in the United States!"

The way he said it was as though he had insulted all those who had emigrated to foreign countries—including Jian Anning.

Jian Anning couldn’t be bothered with Yu Zexiao, who had a runaway mouth and could say anything at all. Situ Xuan simply didn’t say anything, just smiled faintly, "Speaking of roasted whole lamb, I visited Ulaanbaatar a year ago. The taste was indeed quite good."

Yu Zexiao’s eyes immediately went wide! According to Situ Xuan’s words, it was as if what he had served wasn’t authentic, leaving him at a loss for words!

Hold it in, just hold it in! Yu Zexiao’s chest heaved dramatically. Mo Siyu had told him to control his temper in front of everyone and not to start a fight. He held back for a long while, and finally, a big smile spread across his face as he grabbed Jian Anning’s arm, "Oh, in that case, you’ll be able to judge whether our Huaxia Country’s roasted whole lamb tastes better or Mongolia’s does. If you really like it that much, you might consider going to Mongolia for filming in the future!"

The tension between the two was palpable, and even the entourage nearby could sense the strong smell of gunpowder between them. Situ Xuan just smiled and didn’t continue to argue, as everyone prepared to take their seats.

However, when looking for seats, a small incident occurred. Yu Zexiao was the host, and Situ Xuan was the guest of honor, in addition to Director Li and other heavyweight crew members, yet Yu Zexiao only pulled up Jian Anning, letting her take the main seat beside him.

Now, the most awkward person was Jian Anning. She felt that the gaze of every single person in the crew was focused on her! She even had a more forward position than Situ Xuan next to her, which really wasn’t quite proper!

"Ze, Zexiao," Jian Anning struggled to free herself from his grip, "This isn’t right, I should just sit at the next table."

Although the private room was large, it was not possible for a room that could accommodate hundreds of people to have only one round table. Logically, as an assistant like her, she had no right to sit in the chief seat.

"What’s wrong with it?" Yu Zexiao didn’t care too much, and Jian Anning looked to the side, "At least, Mr. Situ or Director Li should take the chief seat."

Situ Xuan next to her just pursed his lips and smiled faintly, "Ladies first. I believe, Director Li wouldn’t mind."

Director Li naturally laughed "ha ha", as Situ Xuan was essentially his direct superior, and he definitely wouldn’t sabotage him.
