After the empress transmigrated, she became the judge of the entertainment industry.

Chapter 716 I never expected you'd have such a dramatic day.

We didn't go downstairs for lunch, but ordered food in our room instead.

Sheng Hanyu was injured and had taken a flight early in the morning, so she was quite tired. Therefore, Ye Sanqing did not mention practicing cooking skills.

In fact, during the few days he was away, Ye Sanqing also tried to cook noodles and stir-fry some dishes in her spare time, and the people who commented on her cooking skills were Sheng Luoxin, Ye Jin'er, and Xiao You.

Of course, these people may not all show up at the same time. Occasionally, if she makes too much food, she will ask the others if they need to come and freeload.

When Ye Sanqing mentioned this, he laughed and said, "I feel that my skill level has stabilized now, but as you said before, it's still a matter of familiarity with this material."

"Well, we still need to try more and accumulate experience." Sheng Hanyu wasn't surprised at all by this.

Ye Sanqing possesses such a powerful learning ability that there's no reason why she can't do something well if she sets her mind to it.

"How are you? Can't you eat spicy food lately? Or can't you eat soy sauce or anything like that?" Ye Sanqing asked, then pointed to the dipping sauce dish next to the boiled mutton. "Will the food taste bland then?"

Although I don't know the underlying principle, I've heard that there are many things you can't eat when you're injured.

“A little bit won’t matter,” Sheng Hanyu said. “Chili peppers might affect wound healing, and soy sauce, it’s said, can affect the color of a wound after it heals, especially for external injuries. But this isn’t an external injury.”

"I see. Then take care of yourself and recover well. Avoid moving around if you can." Ye Sanqing said, "As for the crew's arrangements, you can coordinate with them after you've rested this afternoon. You should have already spoken to them, right?"

"Yes, I told the production crew right after my hospital check-up. I've already sent them the report, but the specific arrangements aren't finalized yet. They just told me I won't be filming for the next five days," Sheng Hanyu replied.

“That’s fine then. I just had a sudden idea…” Ye Sanqing picked up a piece of mutton and said, “They faked their deaths, and then you said you’d send that clip to Fu Sizhou… I thought, why don’t we post this blurry image online?”

“That’s a good idea,” Sheng Hanyu said, knowing what kind of development this would lead to. “Let’s get straight to the point and save ourselves the trouble of sending them one by one.”

“But isn’t this a bit of an invasion of privacy?” Ye Sanqing said.

Although she probably didn't intend to consider the feelings of these two people, it's still not good to casually release surveillance footage, regardless of who is in it.

“Actually, I think…” Sheng Hanyu thought for a moment and said, “Since they knew there were surveillance cameras, and knew I put them there… they also knew there were no surveillance cameras inside the room…”

"You mean they assume that everything that happens under surveillance will be seen by you and me?" Ye Sanqing nodded. "That's right, but there's still a difference between what we see and what we spread."

"Why don't we just ask them?" Sheng Hanyu said, and seeing Ye Sanqing nod, he dialed Lu Mingye's number.

He was quite certain that the two men were available to answer the phone, because his subordinates had reported that they were having lunch.

"President Sheng, you didn't choose a good place. The dry pot bullfrog you can order here is just so-so." As soon as the call started, Lu Wangshen was on the other end of the line, and he complained without any politeness.

"What's wrong, Second Young Master? Are you not satisfied? Do you need me to go and cook for you myself?" Sheng Hanyu asked, feigning concern.

Ye Sanqing smiled at him, "Ah Shen, if you're not satisfied, come and stay with us. Not only will he cook for you, but I'll cook for you too."

Her tone didn't sound like she was cooking; it sounded more like she was poisoning someone.

“…You’re really scary talking like that. Don’t do that.” Lu Wangshen’s hair stood on end when he heard this. “I was just seriously making a suggestion. I don’t believe President Sheng can tolerate this incompetent person.”

“You were the one who wanted to add chili, but you wouldn’t let me use dried chili. As a result, the chili was too watery. Whose fault is that?” Lu Mingye said from the side, and then apologized to Sheng Hanyu, “I’m sorry, he seems to be having some mental breakdown because he can’t go out.”

"If you want something spicy, why don't you order pickled pepper bullfrog?" Sheng Hanyu asked seriously.

Ye Sanqing gave her a "Is it good?" look, and Sheng Hanyu nodded slightly to her.

It's definitely going to taste good!

"Oh, you're right, then I'll have pickled pepper bullfrog for dinner," Lu Wangshen said.

"Does President Sheng have something important to discuss with us?" Lu Mingye asked. From the camera lens, it could be seen that he was serving food to Lu Wangshen with one hand.

Sheng Hanyu thought to herself, "You've gotten so used to taking care of him, yet you still act so stubborn."

"Yes, I want to ask you, can I send you the surveillance footage?" Sheng Hanyu repeated what Ye Sanqing had just said. "Of course, I think sending it out would help spread false information, but there are other ways not to send it out."

"...I'm so touched that you actually asked us." Lu Wangshen said insincerely.

"Try to tone down your emotions," Lu Mingye said after a moment's thought. "Theoretically, it's fine, but it only makes it seem like I'm going to take action against him. It's hard to see it as a lose-lose situation, is it?"

“You don’t understand,” Lu Wangshen said. “We start with a picture, and netizens make up their own.”

"What I mean is, do you need our cooperation to take a few staged photos?" Lu Mingye asked seriously. "For example, add some fake blood, fake wounds, or something... releasing these photos one by one would be helpful, wouldn't it?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Wangshen suddenly became excited, "Great idea! How about I take a picture of myself stabbing you with a knife? I've wanted to do that for a long time, even if it's fake!"

Lu Mingye turned his head and gave him a silent look. "Are you sure you want to stab me with a knife?"

Ye Sanqing: "I never thought you'd have such a dramatic moment."

Sheng Hanyu: "It's not entirely impossible, but while you guys had fun acting, have you thought about how to handle the aftermath?"

"It's easy to cover this up. Just say we were... rehearsing for Halloween. Who knew we were just joking around, but the surveillance footage was leaked! This is definitely not our fault! Everyone has misunderstood!" Lu Wangshen said seriously.

“There are still months until Halloween, have you calculated that? Can’t you put some thought into it?” Lu Mingye said.

“You seem to be quite familiar with this whitewashing tactic…” Sheng Hanyu said speechlessly, “I’m serious, are you really going to do this? Then I’ll have someone buy the props.”

“Didn’t you say you were going to post pictures? Post them first and see how people react,” Lu Wangshen said. “If people don’t care, there’s no need to put on a full act.”

"I feel like everyone cares about it quite a bit." Ye Sanqing took out his phone and scrolled through it. "They're all talking about what happened between you two, and Ye Wanyin's fake sadness."

"Damn it, we haven't even confirmed she's dead yet, what's she heartbroken about?" Lu Wangshen was furious when he heard this. "She's probably thinking she can finally get rid of me and is happy about it. Impossible! Even if I'm dead, my ghost will haunt me."

"My adjective is 'hypocritical,' so pay attention to the question," Ye Sanqing said with a smile. "Gentlemen, what's the decision?"

"Send it out, then buy the props," Lu Mingye finally decided.
