Ji Qingzhi's family has an ancestral restaurant, but she yearns for the entertainment industry.
In her words, she is so beautiful, of course she can't waste this face. However, after ...
Chapter 52 52 Are You Trying to Chase Me?
Ji Qingzhi was not a dull person, but considering that she and Gu Jingsi had only met twice, she was not so narcissistic as to think that everyone loved her, so she agreed very much with Yun Xiangrong's guess. Gu Jingsi showed kindness to her just to get priority in booking meat sauce in the future. But he should be disappointed, because she was not a person who would show feelings.
The next three shoots were basically one day on and one day off, which was a very good arrangement by Qin Yuan. Plus, her partner was Qian Wan, so Ji Qingzhi felt that this shoot was very pleasant. It would be better if Gu Jingsi could pay less attention to her.
This was the last shoot. Qiu Tian came to visit the set and brought everyone milk tea and snacks. Ji Qingzhi chose fruit tea. She just took a sip and it was a little sweeter than what she usually drank, but the fruity aroma was stronger. She was looking down at the label when she saw Qiu Tian coming back with the milk tea. She was a little curious: "Why did you bring it back again?"
"The director said he doesn't drink." Qiu Tian also felt that she seemed to be inconsiderate and should have had milk tea and coffee in equal parts.
"If he doesn't drink, we'll drink more." Ji Qingzhi teased.
"I didn't think it through. I should have chosen some coffee." Qiu Tian said and glanced at Ji Qingzhi. To be honest, at first she thought Ji Qingzhi wouldn't drink it. Even if it was fruit tea, there was still sugar in it. She specially prepared lemonade for her, but it didn't come in handy.
"You've thought it through very carefully." In addition to milk tea, there are also cakes, some of which are sugar-free.
"I just didn't expect it to be Director Gu." It was also Qiu Tian's fault. Every time she and Qian Wan discussed the most, they discussed Ji Qingzhi, but she didn't know that Gu Jingsi was the director.
Hearing her mention Gu Jingsi, Ji Qingzhi couldn't help but think of his special care for her in the past two episodes. At first, she firmly believed that he was trying to get close to her for Roujiang, but now she was a little uncertain.
"By the way, Director Gu just asked me if girls all like things like milk tea and fruit tea. What does Director Gu mean by this?" Qiu Tian's face was full of gossip.
Qian Wan tapped her forehead affectionately: "Keep your voice down." After saying that, he glanced at Ji Qingzhi unconsciously. As a man, he could naturally notice the difference in the way Gu Jingsi looked at Ji Qingzhi during these few shoots. However, this was someone else's private matter, so he naturally didn't want to point it out.
"He definitely can't hear us from such a distance. So, does Director Gu have a girlfriend?" Qiu Tian was really curious. Although Gu Jingsi was a director, his looks, figure and temperament were no less impressive than those of the male artists in the circle.
Ji Qingzhi couldn't help but look up when she heard that. She was also a little curious about this question. After all, this guy had such a sharp tongue, and she didn't know which girl could stand him.
Gu Jingsi, who was originally fiddling with the machine with his head down, noticed the gaze and looked up. He soon met Ji Qingzhi's gaze. He curled the corners of his lips at her, and she quickly retracted her gaze. The smile on his lips couldn't help but grow bigger. According to the news he had heard in the past few days, Ji Qingzhi is still single. This news is undoubtedly good news for him. But she seemed to be rejecting his approach. Thinking of this, Gu Jingsi decided to find a chance to talk to her after the shooting was over.
It was the first time for Ji Qingzhi to be caught peeking at someone. She quickly withdrew her gaze and lowered her head to drink two gulps of juice. At this time, Qiu Tian next to her couldn't help but exclaimed: "Teacher Ji, your face is so red, are you allergic?"
There should be mango pieces in the cup of fruit tea in her hand, so Qiu Tian was very worried. She almost went to Ji Qingzhi to see clearly. Ji Qingzhi quickly shook her head: "No, I'm not allergic to mangoes. Don't worry, it's probably too hot."
Because of Qiu Tian's exclamation, many eyes were cast over. Ji Qingzhi hung her head in a somewhat socially dead manner. She should have checked the almanac before going out today. Even though she hung her head, she was certain that Gu Jingsi on the other end was laughing at her.
"I'm sorry, Teacher Ji, I made a fuss out of nothing." Qiu Tian said a little embarrassedly.
"It's okay, I'll go sit over there, it's cooler there." Ji Qingzhi now just wanted to find a place to hide.
"Oh, okay." Qiu Tian was a little annoyed that she had reacted too much and scared Teacher Ji.
Qian Wan, who was standing next to her, rubbed her hair and said, "Don't worry, Teacher Ji is not such a stingy person." After saying that, he glanced at Gu Jingsi over there. His intuition told him that there was a chance for these two people, and he was actually quite looking forward to it.
"That's good. I just saw Director Gu looking over here. Does he have any opinion about Teacher Ji?" As a fan girl, Qiu Tian naturally knew about Gu Jingsi's original remarks about the vase.
"That's not true. Director Gu takes good care of Teacher Ji," Qian Wan corrected.
"Really?" Qiu Tian asked with some doubt in his tone.
"Of course, you'll know soon." Qian Wan said as he handed her the milk tea in his hand. The second half of the recording was about to begin.
Ji Qingzhi had just finished half of a cup of milk tea when the recording began. She felt a little regretful, as she certainly couldn't continue drinking it later, so she took two big gulps before putting down the fruit tea and going to fix her makeup.
The second half of the filming made Qiu Tian, who was watching, understand what Qian Wan just meant. Every time the camera was on Teacher Ji, Director Gu would unconsciously raise the corners of his lips. When the camera switched, his smile quickly subsided. Combined with the question he asked herself before, Qiu Tian suddenly had a bold guess in her mind.
Recording a variety show depends on on-the-spot performance, and with two permanent guests leading them, the recording went very smoothly. At the end, the dish that Ji Qingzhi had just made was handed over to the staff, and everyone was rushing to taste it, for fear that they would be late and miss out.
Thinking of her previous guess, Qiu Tian glanced at Gu Jingsi over there. Sure enough, he was frowning, with displeasure written all over his face. She quietly pulled the corner of Qian Wan's clothes beside her and lowered her voice and asked, "Does Director Gu have any thoughts about Teacher Ji?"
Qian Wan couldn't help but raise his eyebrows: "You figured it out so quickly?"
"I'm not blind. No, when did you know that? Why didn't you tell me?" Qiu Tian said as she pinched Qian Wan's arm.
"Didn't I just notice that? And how could I dare to talk about something that doesn't exist?" Qian Wan said helplessly.
"Forget it, I'll let you go today." Qiu Tian snorted coldly.
The recording was completely over, so of course there was a dinner party. This time it was hotpot. Ji Qingzhi chose to sit with Qiu Tian in advance. She was the last seat, with Qiu Tian on her left, so naturally no one could sit on her right. Soon, Ji Qingzhi realized that she was worrying too much. With so many people, one table naturally couldn't accommodate them all. Gu Jingsi and Qin Yuan sat at another table, and she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
With Qiu Tian around, Ji Qingzhi didn't need to find topics to talk about. She just needed to agree with her. Compared to the last barbecue dinner, she still liked hotpot a little more. After the hotpot dinner was over, the group of people still clamored for more, but Ji Qingzhi still didn't join in and waved goodbye to everyone. If nothing unexpected happens, there won't be a chance for us to meet again after this time.
This time, Gu Jingsi didn't make any excuses to get close to him. Bai Hongkai glanced at him and thought that he was probably planning to go to Ji's restaurant for dinner tomorrow. The originally slow-witted Bai Hongkai also saw through Gu Jingsi's intention when recording the third episode the day before yesterday. Of course, what surprised him even more was that when he confirmed it with Gu Jingsi, he admitted it very straightforwardly. Thinking of Ji Qingzhi's rejection of him, Bai Hongkai had a headache. Generally speaking, if a person's interpersonal relationship is bumpy, the people around him will suffer a lot, and as an assistant, he must be the first person to suffer.
After less than ten days of recording, a huge amount of money was earned. Ji Qingzhi felt that this deal was still cost-effective, but she had also decided that even if there were similar variety shows in the future, she would not take them again.
When she returned, Comrade Lao Ji was still waiting for her in the yard. She stepped forward, put her hands on his shoulders, and squeezed them twice before speaking: "Didn't you say you don't have to wait for me?"
"It's still early. I can't sleep, but I'm not waiting for you." Ji Yuanfu emphasized that he couldn't sleep, not waiting for him.
"Okay, okay, if you can't sleep, it's already half past nine. You should be sleepy, right?" Ji Qingzhi said with a smile.
"Well, I'm almost sleepy. You should go to bed early too." Ji Yuanfu yawned, then stood up and walked slowly towards his room.
Looking at his back, Ji Qingzhi raised the corners of her lips. When you return home, there is a light on for you and someone is waiting for you. It is really a very happy thing.
Ever since Old Ji took over as the chef again, his life has become much more fulfilling, so Ji Qingzhi gave up the position of chef temporarily and simply went to the front hall to help. When she saw Gu Jingsi coming in, she was stunned for a moment, then stepped forward and asked, "Excuse me, which table did Director Gu reserve?"
"Table number seven." Seeing Ji Qingzhi as soon as he entered the door was undoubtedly a surprise for Gu Jingsi.
"Please come this way." Ji Qingzhi tried hard to ignore his gaze and stretched out her hand to him.
"Okay." Gu Jingsi nodded and followed her to table number seven.
The advantage of the reservation system is that you don’t have to wait too long. Soon, a bell rang from the kitchen, indicating that the food could be served. Seeing that Ji Qingzhi was about to leave, Gu Jingsi seized the opportunity and said, "Teacher Ji, can we go to the backyard to take some pictures later?"
Thinking of his relationship with Xu Yu'an, Ji Qingzhi swallowed the refusal that was about to come out of his mouth and nodded: "Of course, Director Gu."
Gu Jingsi frowned at her and said, "Can you call me by my name in private? Otherwise I feel like I'm working overtime."
"Okay, Gu Jingsi." Ji Qingzhi changed his words readily. The person opposite him smiled, but Ji Qingzhi always felt something was strange.
It was not until he was taken to the backyard after dinner that the man asked directly, "Is Teacher Ji free tomorrow?"
"What?" Ji Qingzhi felt that an answer was about to come out.
"I want to invite Teacher Ji to go to the movies, but I wonder if I have the honor." Gu Jingsi said, looking at her steadily.
"Are you trying to pursue me?" Ji Qingzhi looked at him with a frown.
