The School Beauty's Super Rogue

Chapter 1355: Chapter 1350: Unexpected Encounter with a Celebrity

The lunchbox wasn’t big, but it was very delicate.

There wasn’t much food inside—just some stir-fried beef tripe, rib soup, corn salad, and a simple stir-fried vegetable dish.

But if you opened the lid, the aroma of the dishes would waft out, filling the entire cabin.

This was the most meticulous cooking Qin Hao had ever done in his life.

So as not to wake the girls, he specifically rented a kitchen outside.

After he finished cooking and worried the food might go cold, he quickly bought a plane ticket and rushed to Heng Electric.

The plane flew for about an hour in boredom.

Qin Hao was dozing when he overheard the passenger next to him say, "This year’s box office and domestic film quality are both in a slump."

"Director Li, it’s a slump because you haven’t come out of retirement!" came a sweet, smooth voice.

Sitting in economy class, Qin Hao’s side had two seats.

He turned to see an elderly man with white hair and an old-fashioned suit holding a newspaper, sighing.

Beside him sat a young girl in a purple dress.

The girl had an oval face, large eyes, and wore exquisite light makeup, looking exceptionally beautiful like a little movie star.

The old man didn’t respond to the girl’s compliment, just shook his head ruefully, "I can’t do it either. It’s the era of commercial blockbusters; producers and film companies only want to invest money, and nobody’s willing to take the time to craft a work of art. Even if I make a comeback, I’m too old for commercial films, I’ll have to do art films, but art films are rarely box office successes."

"Hey, Director Li, don’t be modest. If you’re willing, a blend of commercial and art films could even win you the Best Director in Hollywood!"

The girl looked at the old man with a face full of admiration.

The old man shook his head, "Xu Qianya, I know you want to make a name for yourself. But there’s a lot of negative stuff in the entertainment industry. If you want to stay clean, don’t be in too much of a rush."

"Thank you for the advice, Director Li."

The girl named Xu Qianya nodded and said.

Qin Hao watched everything, thought it over, and was somewhat surprised.

The old man next to him looked ordinary, but that face was one of the most famous faces in the country.

The reason being, this old man referred to as "Director Li" was actually the nation’s leading director, Li Yuan.

Li Yuan had won countless awards domestically and internationally, with many classic films to his name. He was a godfather figure in the domestic director scene.

Qin Hao didn’t expect to encounter such a figure on the plane and was utterly amazed.

But amazed as he was, he had no intention of making small talk.

To outsiders, Director Li was a supreme existence, but to him, he was just another exceptional person.

Having met so many remarkable people, there was no need to join the crowd.

Come lunchtime, as the destination was not yet reached, passengers could only partake in an airplane meal that looked exquisite but tasted awful.

Qin Hao didn’t care about food, ate the airplane meal, and was done with it.

Li Yuan next to him ate slowly but could manage.

But Xu Qianya, the girl star, couldn’t manage at all.

She disdainfully tossed the lunch box aside, "Why is this so unpalatable? Even worse than my dark culinary creations."

She turned to see Li Yuan stuffing food into his mouth and couldn’t help but say, "Director Li, you shouldn’t eat such terrible food."

"Haha, Xu Qianya, we need food like iron needs steel. We’ve got to eat this if we like it or not."

Faced with Director Li’s advice, Xu Qianya nodded frequently, but then she accidentally caught sight of the lunchbox in Qin Hao’s lap by the window. Instinctively, she shouted, "Hey, does your lunchbox have food in it?"

Qin Hao didn’t react immediately, pointing to himself, "You talking to me?"

"Who else would I be talking to!" Xu Qianya said displeased, "I’m asking if there’s food in your lunchbox?"

"Yes."

This was a lovingly prepared lunch for Zhang Lianyi, and on this topic, Qin Hao had much to say.

He wasn’t afraid of showing off and opened the lunchbox.

"Wow!"

Seeing the colorful and exquisite food inside and smelling that captivating aroma, Xu Qianya couldn’t help but inwardly exclaim.

She was born into a major clan and was used to fancy meals. But in her mind, those fancy meals paled compared to the food in this lunchbox!

It must be delicious!

Unable to resist licking her lips, Xu Qianya asked Director Li, "Director Li, the food in there looks great, don’t you want some?"

"Can I?"

Li Yuan also couldn’t help but lick his lips. In fact, as a semi-foodie, Li Yuan had long been tempted by the food in Qin Hao’s lunchbox.

But out of pride and character, he hadn’t wanted to ask.

"If Director Li wants to eat, isn’t it simple? Watch me!"

Filled with confidence, Xu Qianya turned to Qin Hao, "Hey, I’m buying your lunch—for 500!"

In Xu Qianya’s mind, 500 for a bento was already quite generous.

She thought Qin Hao would be overjoyed.

But Qin Hao only coolly replied, "You gotta be kidding me."

"What did you say?" Xu Qianya thought she heard wrong.

Qin Hao couldn’t be bothered, he was merely showing off his love-lunch and hadn’t expected Xu Qianya would be so naive. He wasn’t taking it seriously.

"Hey! How can you be so rude! I’m asking you a question!"

Xu Qianya said, a bit displeased.

Qin Hao gave a "haha" smile and continued looking out the window.

Honestly, because he was about to see Ripples, he was in a good mood and didn’t want to quibble with such a little girl.

"Are you deaf!"

Xu Qianya fumed.

She had just debuted, but due to her family background and looks, she was hailed in fandom circles as the successor to "Audrey Hepburn."

Her pure, beautiful looks had captivated countless men.

Going out she was met with screaming fans everywhere.

Yet, this man was ignoring her?

The more Xu Qianya thought about it, the angrier she got, "Truly greedy! If you’re going to jack up the price, I’ll meet it! I’m offering five thousand for your bento!"

She completely regarded Qin Hao as someone who enjoyed haggling over prices like a petty citizen.

Qin Hao let out a cold laugh, Xu Qianya’s brows twitched, and she extended her hand, "Ten thousand!"

"Haha!" Qin Hao’s smile became even more disdainful.

"Don’t push it!" Xu Qianya was furious, clenching her teeth, "Twenty thousand! That’s my limit, and I warn you! Don’t be too greedy!"

Saying twenty thousand for a lunchbox sounded absurd.

Under the lure of twenty thousand, few would resist.

But Qin Hao, showing no temptation, simply said, "made idiot."

"Are you insulting me?" Xu Qianya’s face went as white as a sheet, purely out of anger.

Not accepting her offer and even insulting her, how dared this lowlife?
