Hayden remained fully engaged throughout the rest of the shoot.
He was intently focused, not wanting to miss anything, and even offered his own suggestions during the process. Overall, Hayden was quite satisfied with how the shoot turned out.
Christina's performance had also improved significantly compared to before.
Soon, the day's filming wrapped up, marking the end of shooting for Hayden's script. The next steps involved editing and fine-tuning the footage, with reshoots if necessary.
"Let's have a barbeque here tonight. It's on me. We'll have grilled lamb chops, lobster, whatever you want! Today is the last day of shooting. You've all worked hard!" Hayden announced with a cheerful smile.
Hearing this, the crew burst into excitement and cheers. After all, typical team-building events were often formal and lacked appeal. But in this setting, everyone was genuinely looking forward to it.
Hayden made a call to a restaurant specializing in grilled lamb chops, arranging for their staff to cater on-site. Other barbecue chefs were also brought in to ensure a steady supply of food.
It was a fully catered experience, leaving no one with any chores. Everyone could simply relax and enjoy themselves.
They ate, drank, lit a bonfire, and chatted as they celebrated, reveling in the freedom of the moment. It had been a long time since anyone had felt this unrestrained.
"This is wonderful. If I could join a company like this after graduating college, that would be amazing," Christina mused wistfully, her heart full of hope.
"You can continue to study while working here. It's not a conflict. You're free to leave whenever you want—I won't stop you," Hayden explained with a calm smile.
"Really? So even if I go to college, I can still stay with this company?" Christina's eyes lit up with excitement.
"Of course. Who knows, maybe one day I'll open a company in the capital too," Hayden replied, his tone carrying a deeper meaning.
"That would be great! Cheers to you!" Christina raised her glass with joy, toasting Hayden.
After everyone finished eating, Hayden arranged for taxis to take them home.
Christina, having had a bit too much to drink, sported a light blush on her face. Her eyes seemed even brighter than usual.
"Well, I'm off. Will I see you again tomorrow?" Christina hiccupped, smiling foolishly at Hayden.
"Of course. Now hurry home," Hayden urged, noticing her playful tipsiness.
He was concerned that if she lingered any longer, she might overindulge and struggle to get home. That would surely result in stricter rules from her family.
In the end, Christina left reluctantly.
In the days that followed, Hayden closely monitored the progress of the video, from filming to post-production, staying involved every step of the way.
