"Look who's talking, there's no need for money. Just treat me to a meal at Jinzhou Hotel!" the lighting technician joked with a laugh.
"Give me a break, how much does a meal at Jinzhou Hotel cost? Xiaochu, I'll be happy with just a hotpot meal!"
"Don't talk nonsense. Xiaochu is still a student; she doesn't have money!" Uncle Liu glared at them, then smiled at Chu Nanxi, "Just let us know the time and place, and tell us if you need any extras or props. Oh, and we have all the equipment too, just bring it over. Don't you go renting, it's too expensive!"
Uncle Liu didn't know Chu Nanxi's background and assumed she was just a poor student, trying to save her money at every turn.
"Right, we'll bring our own stuff; you just buy some boxed lunches. Let me tell you, I need two boxes!"
...
Everyone joked and laughed, but Chu Nanxi felt genuinely touched.
