The staff members who were watching Photographer Zhang eat dragon beard candy saw the satisfied expression on his face and suddenly felt a huge emptiness in their hearts.

Just then, one of the staff members’ stomachs suddenly rumbled.

Immediately afterwards, almost all the staff looked down at their stomachs, their faces showing embarrassment, all thinking that their stomachs had betrayed them.

However, at this moment, Director Wang shook his head and said, “Photographer Zhang, isn’t this just dragon beard candy? I’ve bought it before, but it’s not tasty at all. One bite and your teeth will break. It feels like you’re eating a bunch of flour.”

Luo Huai’an was a little unhappy when she heard others look down on her dragon beard candy. So she picked up a piece of dragon beard candy with some chopsticks and handed it to Director Wang. “Mine is different from others.”

Director Wang took the dragon beard candy, thinking it probably wouldn’t taste good, but he still took a bite out of politeness. As soon as he took the first bite, his eyes widened immediately.

The snow-white dragon beard candy, with its soft, crispy, and fragrant taste, struck right at one’s soul.

When you chewed it carefully, a sweet taste lingered on your tongue.

As Director Wang tore at it with gusto, some of the snow-white sugar strands in the dragon beard candy slowly fell down.

Director Wang couldn’t help but catch it with his hand below, unwilling to let any piece of the dragon beard candy fall to the ground.

There were many counterfeit dragon beard candies on the market. Many dragon beard candies made by chefs who were not skilled enough were too sweet and sticky. The one that Director Wang had eaten before was one of them.

After tasting Luo Huai’an’s dragon beard candy, Director Wang realized how wrong he had been; he had no idea that dragon beard candy could be so delicious!

The staff members standing nearby were somewhat intimidated after hearing Director Wang’s words.

“Director Wang, you just said that the dragon beard candy you ate was very hard and tasted like flour. How about the dragon beard candy from the Eighth Cafeteria?”

“You look so surprised, is it really that bad?”

Director Wang swallowed the dragon beard candy with satisfaction, his expression still serious. He looked at Luo Huai’an and said, “Actually, I still don’t think it tastes very good. Why don’t you give me another piece to try? Maybe the second one will be different.”

Director Wang’s expression was too serious, so Luo Huai’an didn’t notice anything amiss. She handed over another piece, puzzled, and said, “I just ate the dragon beard candy I made, and I think it’s pretty good. It didn’t turn out badly.”

Under everyone’s watchful eyes, Director Wang seemingly forced himself to swallow the dragon beard candy, and then said to Luo Huai’an, “I ate it too fast just now and didn’t get to taste it. Can you give me another piece?”

Luo Huai’an was puzzled and was about to give him another piece when she suddenly realized something was wrong. The dragon beard candies she made weren’t small; how could he not have tasted anything after eating two? Had she been tricked??

The other staff members also noticed something was wrong and gathered around, saying, “You little rascal, you’re trying to fool us!”

“It’s a shame you’re not an actor with acting skills like that.”

After finishing his dragon beard candy, photographer Zhang said with lingering satisfaction, “Boss, don’t believe him, he’s ruthless. I’ll curse him for you, can you give me another piece then?”

Luo Huai’an was still a little unhappy after being tricked once, so she took the dragon beard candy and went back to the food serving window. “You can eat dragon beard candy, but you must swipe your card. If you don’t have a card, then give me a meal ticket or a voucher.”

All the staff members were tempted by their two colleagues’ sweets, so they all went to the food window and ordered a serving of dragon beard candy. Photographer Zhang and Director Wang also ordered dragon beard candy, and after asking the price, they even paid for the dragon beard candy they had just eaten.

Seeing so many meal vouchers improved Luo Huai’an’s mood, and she stopped worrying about what had happened before.

Since it was lunchtime, the filming crew planned to eat first and then start working.

Photographer Zhang devoured the braised pork, quickly finishing it before leaning back in his chair with satisfaction.

Because he enjoyed the food so much, Photographer Zhang got an idea: the theme of the Eighth Cafeteria should be to photograph mouthwatering food, and secondly, he could photograph the lives of the staff to showcase the spirit of the staff of Aero U.

Photographer Zhang walked around and was surprised to find that everyone who worked in the Eighth Cafeteria were handsome men and beautiful women, even the ugliest cleaner was decent-looking.

The sheer number of handsome men and beautiful women made photographer Zhang feel like he had almost returned to the entertainment industry.

Photographer Zhang marveled and began to express his heartfelt admiration.

The boss cooked so well, and the employees were all handsome men and beautiful women.

This kind of life was so good, even gods couldn’t be said to live better.

The employees of the Eighth Cafeteria must have a very happy life.

He was filled with curiosity and decided to talk to the cafeteria staff to learn about the cafeteria. As it turned out, he first approached Big Fish sweeping the floor.
