Tricked

Seeing Lang Yu's question mark, Bai Chao replied as he stuffed a large piece of ribs into his mouth, [This is the money for your meal. Thank you for buying me food.]

However, Lang Yu did not open the red packet. [Keep the money. You don't have to return it to me first.]

Taking care of Bai Chao's pride, he did not say that he paid for it himself. Instead, he found an excuse. [Hanhan instructed me to consider it a benefit for new employees. After all, you're the first colleague to sign a contract with the studio.]

[Really?] Bai Chao did not believe it. He remembered that when he first started talking to Yu Han, she had already said that the studio did not provide food or accommodation. Bai Chao was already very satisfied that he could stay in the studio and have a place to sleep.
