"Forget about the meal, we have our own plans," Liang Sumei declined.

Since arriving in Haishi, we haven't had time to go shopping yet, so of course we have to make time to go shopping. Liang Sumei has always wanted to try soup dumplings and go shopping on the Bund. Since we have to visit the factory in the afternoon, the three of them decided to find a popular soup dumpling shop nearby.

The popularity of a store is mainly determined by the customer flow and the age of the store owner. Usually, older owners open old stores.

The three of them passed by an inconspicuous store, but there were customers coming in and out. "Let's go to this one," Liang Sumei stopped and thought: such an inconspicuous store, with so many customers, must be repeat customers, the taste should not be bad.

Liang Sumei and the other two walked into the store and found that there were no empty seats at all.

The boss saw three unfamiliar faces and asked, "Did you just move here? I haven't seen you before."

Liang Sumei smiled and replied: "No, we came to Hai City on a business trip."

The boss understood: "Oh, then why don't you go to the big restaurant? Why did you find me here?"

"We want to try the most authentic local flavor. Although your store is not big, you have so many customers, so there must be a lot of repeat customers. The taste must be great," Liang Sumei explained.

"Haha, little girl, my store has been open for more than 30 years. In the entire Hai City, no store has been open longer than mine." The boss boasted proudly.

At this time, Liang Sumei and the other two had already found seats and sat down. The boss was still introducing them enthusiastically: "When you come to Haishi, you must first try my soup dumplings, then go to the Bund, cruise the Huangpu River at night, and visit the Haishi Film Studio. Oh, by the way, I heard today that the film studio is filming nearby. You probably haven't seen a movie yet, right?..."

"Movies? Are they the kind of movies shown in the villages?" Jiang Meng asked curiously.

"Yes, that's it." Liang Sumei nodded with a smile.

"Director, can we go and take a look?" Jiang Meng's eyes were full of anticipation.

"Okay, let's eat quickly." Liang Sumei said.

Jiang Meng gobbled the soup dumpling in two bites, grimacing from the burn. The boss shook his head helplessly and even taught her the correct way to eat it.

The soup dumplings tasted really good. After the three of them had their fill of food and drink, they hurried to watch a movie in the direction the boss had directed them.

After walking for a while, they found a group of people watching not far away. They must be people who came to watch the filming. There were too many people, and Jiang Meng couldn't squeeze in, so he had to give up helplessly.

Seeing this, Chen Song stretched his arms, shook his legs, then rushed into the crowd and shouted, "Make way, make way!" While squeezing his way in, he winked at Jiang Meng.

Jiang Meng saw that everyone around her was looking at Chen Song with angry eyes, and she immediately felt her face getting hot, blushing with shame, and hurriedly turned around and ran away. She didn't want to watch this movie. Liang Sumei was a little overwhelmed by Chen Song's behavior, thinking that this was really a reckless fatherly love!

Chen Song saw that his daughter not only did not follow him in, but ran far away, so he quickly chased after her and asked, "Xiao Meng, don't you want to watch a movie?"

Jiang Meng rolled her eyes and said unhappily: "I want to see it, but I won't be so selfish as to sacrifice the interests of others for my own satisfaction."

"Ah?" Chen Song realized that his behavior just now was a bit excessive, so he apologized humbly: "Oh, I'm sorry, Xiaomeng, it was Daddy who was too impatient and embarrassed you. Daddy will definitely not do this next time."

Jiang Meng curled her lips, frowned, ignored Chen Song, and walked away without looking back.

"Hello, miss. I noticed you just now. Your appearance is simply perfect and impeccable..." Suddenly, a man stopped Jiang Meng and his hands moved up and down Jiang Meng's curvy figure.

Before Jiang Meng could react, Chen Song quickly stepped forward and pushed the man away in two steps, cursing, "You bastard, stay away from my daughter!"

The man fell on his back, and after getting up, he looked at his camera and found that the lens had cracks. He grabbed Chen Song tightly and said, "You broke my camera, you must pay for it!"

"Compensation is useless, you bastard!" Chen Song pushed the man away, swearing at him and pulling Jiang Meng, wanting to leave quickly.

"You're a foreigner. You broke other people's things and didn't pay for them. Now you want to run away?" The man heard that Chen Song's accent was not local and shouted loudly.

"Hurry up!" Chen Song pulled Jiang Meng and quickened his pace.

The man chased after him, laid on the ground, and grabbed Chen Song's trouser leg tightly, shouting, "Outsiders are bullying Haishi people, everyone, come and judge! Outsiders are bullying Haishi people! Robbers!"

After hearing this, the people who were originally watching the filming rushed over to join in the fun.

More and more people gathered around. Liang Sumei thought quickly and shouted, "This guy is a hooligan. He accidentally slipped and broke the camera, but he insisted that it was us who broke it. The camera was hanging around his neck, how could we have broken it? Everyone, come and judge for yourself! We just came to Hai City on a business trip. I didn't expect my friend to run into a hooligan, and the hooligan is even blaming us. Do we outsiders have to suffer in silence? I want to call the police!" Liang Sumei shouted until she was hoarse.

The onlookers couldn't figure out who was right and who was wrong for a moment, and each had their own opinions. But everyone had a gossipy heart and watched the excitement.

"Zhang Xiaodan!?" A woman's surprised voice came.

Zhang Xiaodan grabbed Chen Song's trouser leg tightly and refused to let go. He turned around and saw that it was his colleague Hong Min. "Hong Min, help me catch him! He broke my camera!"

Hong Min was embarrassed. How could a girl like her join in the quarrel like a shrew? But she was Zhang Xiaodan's colleague after all, so she couldn't just sit there and watch.

"Hello, I am Zhang Xiaodan's colleague Hong Min. This may be a misunderstanding. Can we talk somewhere else?" Hong Min saw Liang Sumei and walked up to her and asked.

Liang Sumei didn't want to be laughed at on the street, and she had to go back to Hai City Food Factory to participate in a study tour in the afternoon, so she agreed readily.

It turned out that Hong Min and Zhang Xiaodan were both employees of the film studio. Zhang Xiaodan was a photographer. His character did have some issues, which was well known in the film studio. Female colleagues usually kept their distance from him.

Inside the room, the director and actors who had just finished filming a movie were sitting and eating boxed lunches.

Zhang Xiaodan and Chen Song were mediating in another corner.

"He's a hooligan!" Jiang Meng's words attracted the attention of everyone in the room. Everyone stopped eating and looked in Jiang Meng's direction. The director was stunned by the sight of her. She had bangs, shoulder-length hair, was 168 cm tall, and was wearing a fashionable dress. Her face was innocent and pure. "Isn't this the supermodel I've been looking for?" The director sighed in his heart. He was going to shoot a fashion movie recently, which tells the history of the development of women's clothing in Hai City. He needed an actor who could perform from innocence to maturity throughout the movie.

"Hello, miss, I'm Mo Qi, the director of Hai City Film Studio." The director couldn't contain his excitement and hurried forward to introduce himself.

Jiang Meng responded with a silly and cute look, "Hello." Her silly and cute look made the director even more ecstatic. She was simply too perfect and completely matched the candidate for the heroine in his mind.

"Director, they broke our camera!" Zhang Xiaodan couldn't wait to complain to the director, but the director waved his hand and motioned him to go away.

"Miss, are you interested in making a movie?" the director asked Jiang Meng directly.

Jiang Meng looked at Liang Sumei, then at Chen Song. All three of them were completely confused.

"I'm not interested. We didn't break the camera. He failed to protect it well." Chen Song thought that this man wanted his daughter to compensate for the camera by making a movie.

The director saw what Chen Song was thinking, and with a smile on his face, he explained, "Brother, this lady is a perfect match for the heroine in a film I'm about to shoot. If she's willing to act, I can guarantee that she will become a movie star as famous as Liu Xiaoli. Oh, don't worry, this has nothing to do with your conflict with Zhang Xiaodan. I really don't want to miss out on such a good talent!"
