Before going to sleep, Lan Yujuan remembered that during the day, Chen Mo had arranged for so many hairy crabs to be sent to the film crew.

That evening, there were so many more hairy crabs at home, and the whole family enjoyed a hearty meal of crab roe noodles.

So, out of curiosity, he asked Chen Mo:

"Honey, I think I heard you say tonight that the hairy crabs we have at home were a gift from your comrades."

"Could it be that you have a comrade-in-arms whose family raises hairy crabs?"

Having just finished showering, Chen Mo pulled back the covers and snuggled into bed, pulling his wife close as he mumbled an explanation:

"I have a comrade-in-arms named Qian Jiang. You've met him at a previous gathering, but he's not very talkative, so you probably don't remember him."

"Qianjiang's wife is from Suzhou. Her father's family started out as crab farmers, raising hairy crabs. It was hard work, and they didn't make much money."

"Later, I slowly saved up some money, and the market began to change."

"In recent years, I've started raising and selling crabs myself. I want to create my own brand, connect directly with customers, and bypass the purchasing agents."

"At first, sales were very difficult. Qian Jiang bought a lot of crab gift boxes out of his own pocket and gave them away to his comrades for free, and also helped his father-in-law's family attract customers."

"I figured, since the company's going to order gift boxes for Mid-Autumn Festival anyway, what's the harm in buying them?"

"So I instructed the company's purchasing department to order hairy crabs from my father-in-law's family in Qianjiang every Mid-Autumn Festival."

"I heard the market isn't doing well this year. They have a lot of livestock and some are not selling, so they called specifically to ask if they could order more."

"I figured since your new drama is being filmed during the National Day holiday, and the crew will be shooting on location in Hunan, I ordered a few extra. It's a win-win situation."

Lan Yujuan shrank back a little, adjusting to a comfortable side-lying position, and closed her eyes, saying:

"Hmm, that's pretty good!"

She thought of her own coffee shop, which also had several employees.

As far as she knew, several of them loved eating crabs, but she didn't ask about the others.

So he turned his head slightly and said to Chen Mo behind him:

"Or, could you order 10 more hairy crab gift boxes for me? Seven mid-range ones and three of the best ones."

"I'll take one of the seven mid-range portions to the store and distribute one portion to everyone."

"The other three copies, one for Teacher Kong, one for my parents, and one for my brother Qin Zhang's family."

After listening, Chen Mo chuckled softly:

"Don't worry, we have them all."

"The portions for Mom and Dad and Qin Zhang's family have already been sent over."

"The seven portions in the store and the portion for Teacher Kong will be delivered to the store tomorrow morning. You can distribute them yourself when you arrive."

Lan Yujuan was pleasantly surprised after hearing this.

She slowly turned around, hugged her man's head, and kissed him on the forehead.

"Chen Mo, you're so kind!"

Chen Mo's ears gradually grew hot, and he slowly moved back, reaching out to turn off the bedside lamp. His voice was hoarse as he said:

"Stop fooling around, go to sleep."

His voice sounded muffled, as if he had a fire burning inside him, a mix of restlessness and frustration.

Lan Yujuan didn't think much of it, and as the months went by, her sleep quality improved.

She rested her head on Chen Mo's arm, her forehead gently against his chin, feeling his even and familiar breathing above her head, and soon fell asleep.

She was half asleep when she vaguely felt the arm she was using as a pillow slowly being pulled away and replaced with a new pillow.

Then came the rustling sound of someone getting up and putting on their shoes. A moment later, the bedroom and bathroom lights came on, followed by the sound of running water during a shower.

Lan Yujuan struggled to lift her eyelids for a quick glance, then drifted back to sleep...

The next day, as soon as Lan Yujuan arrived at the coffee shop and went upstairs, a gift box of hairy crabs was delivered into the shop.

The shop staff had just put on their aprons and were getting ready to work when they suddenly saw exquisite gift boxes being piled up in the shop, and they all gathered around, chattering about it.

"What is this?"

"It looks like a hairy crab..."

"Whose is it? It doesn't look cheap."

"It's probably for the boss, right?"

"Then why not deliver it to my home? Why did you deliver it to the store?"

Qi Lei took a look, then immediately recorded a short video and sent it to Lan Yujuan.

Lan Yujuan, who was on the second floor, had just arrived at her studio, turned on her computer, and sat down when she heard her phone ring. She could also vaguely hear noises coming from downstairs.

She picked up her phone, glanced at it, and replied with a smile:

"Pick the best one and save it for Teacher Kong."

"The rest, one serving each, take it home after get off work. Consider it an extra perk from the store."

Less than a minute after the message was sent, cheers and jubilation erupted downstairs.

This was the first time Lan Yujuan had ever realized that just a few people in the shop could cause such a commotion.

She smiled, shook her head, put down her phone, and prepared to get to work.

The happiness of the people in the shop made her feel wonderful too.

However, just as she opened the document, her phone vibrated again.

This time, it was a cell phone call.

She picked it up and saw that it was an unfamiliar Beijing phone number, which she hadn't saved in her phone.

"Could it be a scam call?"

Lan Yujuan immediately put her phone aside and did not answer the call.

She didn't answer the first time, but the other party persisted and called again. When her phone vibrated for the third time, she finally picked it up and answered.

"Feed?"

"Hello, are you Mr. Lan?" The other person's voice was polite and sounded somewhat familiar.

Lan Yujuan hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Excuse me, who are you?"

The other party quickly introduced himself, "Hello, Mr. Lan, I am the casting director of the film crew."

"We met briefly yesterday when you came to visit the set and bring coffee. Do you remember me?"

Lan Yujuan quickly replied, "Oh...I remember you, hello!"

She herself felt a little guilty when she said this.

What's your impression of her? She has a bit of face blindness, and is also nearsighted and has astigmatism, but she doesn't like to wear glasses when she goes out.

I usually see people vaguely, relying entirely on their outlines.

Yesterday, with so many people on the set, she only remembered the director's face and Lin Jue's handsome face; she had almost completely forgotten what everyone else looked like.

"Boss Lan, it's like this, the production crew has an urgent matter and we'd like to ask for your help."

"Is today a convenient day for you? If you have time, I would like to talk to you in person."

Lan Yujuan glanced at the time, then at the blank document on the computer screen, and nodded in agreement.

"Okay, I'll send you the address of the coffee shop. I'll wait for you here."

Subsequently, Lan Yujuan proactively added the other party on WeChat and sent them the address.

Then I shut down the computer and went downstairs.
