"make a deal!"

Before Qin Guican entered the tent, Hu Ke and Dai Shutao immediately reached an agreement. The moment the tent curtain was lifted, the two saw Qin Guican striding out with a gloomy face.

Following behind him were Han Zhao, who had a numb look on his face, and Director Lai and others who looked nervous.

Seeing Dai Shutao sitting leisurely on a chair, holding a basin of washed grapes in her hand and putting them into her mouth one by one, Qin Guican hesitated and suddenly doubted the authenticity of his source of information.

"Hi, Mr. Qin!" Dai Shutao extended his hand enthusiastically and greeted Qin Guican. The man hesitated and the concern he wanted to express was stuck in his throat. He didn't know whether he should say it or not.

"Why is President Qin here?"

Dai Shutao stood up with an expression that said I know nothing, but did not put down the fruit plate in her hand.

"It's really unfortunate. There was a small accident today, and Director Lai said he'd give me a day off. How about you find a place to stay first and come back tomorrow for filming?"

Dai Shutao said this out of kindness. The wind and sand outside were very strong. In the afternoon, as soon as you left your residence, the wind carrying sand would blow towards your face. Not to mention opening your mouth to speak, you would definitely get a mouthful of sand. That feeling was wonderful.

Hu Ke stood aside the whole time, his face almost frozen from smiling. He had already prepared his words, but when the man came in, he didn't ask a single question, leaving him no chance to explain.

Qin Guican looked around with a gloomy face, just standing there like a piece of wood, without saying a word. The atmosphere in the tent suddenly became subtle.

Only Dai Shutao seemed fine, happily eating, and occasionally complaining in a low voice that the grapes were too sour.

"Han Zhao." Qin Guican finally spoke, and Han Zhao responded weakly, "Contact the nearby orchards and ask them to send more fruit. Consider it a reward for the hard work during the filming process."

At Qin Guican's command, Han Zhao immediately took out his cell phone to do it. Only Hu Ke frowned, keenly aware that something was wrong, but did not say anything to point it out. Instead, his eyes lingered between Dai Shutao and Qin Guican, and no one knew what he was thinking.

Ignoring the awkward atmosphere, Dai Shutao put the last grape into his mouth and sighed with satisfaction.

Qin Guican didn't ask, and she had no interest in explaining herself. If someone didn't know, they would think she was complaining.

Putting the fruit plate on the table nearby and tugging at her shawl, Dai Shutao leaned over to look at Director Lai: "Director Lai, can I go home now?"

Things had come to this point, how could Director Lai not agree? He nodded quickly, made desperate looks at Dai Shutao, and silently lip-synced.

When Dai Shutao was a child, her family was strict and rarely allowed her to watch TV. As a result, she developed the ability to guess the lines by lip movements without turning on the sound in her room. With just one glance, Dai Shutao knew what Director Lai was saying.

He told her to be careful of Qin Guican. Dai Shutao lowered her head and curled the corners of her lips. What could she be careful of? She was the victim in this matter. No matter how she looked at it, she shouldn't be the one to be careful.

Seeing Dai Shutao passing by, Qin Guican's mind suddenly jumped. He reached out and grabbed the woman's arm. Seeing her look at him in surprise, his Adam's apple rolled.

"It's just right for us to go together."

"It's not on your way, Mr. Qin?" Dai Shutao reacted, smiled and pushed the hand away, then took a step back calmly.

"I'm staying in a guesthouse near the filming location. The environment there is average. I guess Mr. Qin will stay in a hotel in the city, right?"

Dai Shutao knew with her toes that with Qin Guican's usual picky habits, he would definitely look down on ordinary B&Bs.

Han Zhao had just returned from a phone call and hurried over upon hearing this: "Boss Qin, I've already booked a hotel in the city, and all your requirements are met..."

"What do you mean by compliant?" Qin Guican glared. "The company doesn't have the funds for this, are you paying for it out of your own pocket?"

Qin Guican's look clearly meant that if you dare to say another word, I will rub your head on the ground. Han Zhao's face twitched and he automatically swallowed the second half of his words.

"I was inconsiderate, Mr. Qin. I will arrange new accommodation for you right now."

Seeing Qin Guican looking at him with satisfaction, Han Zhao turned around and rolled his eyes to the sky.

When Qin Guican turned to look at Dai Shutao, he said seriously, "We are on the way now."

Dai Shutao: “?”

…

Although Qin Guican had prepared himself mentally in advance, when Han Zhao handed him the room key, Qin Guican was still a little dazed when he looked at the two mini keys.

At first glance, there were several murals of naked women hanging in the dim corridor, and a few moths were circling around the light bulb above the head. Even the carpet on the floor... oh no, I should say the leather, had obvious stains on it.

Qin Guican, who has lived an extremely delicate life since childhood, is also in such an environment for the first time.

Han Zhao had anticipated this situation and calmly suggested, "Boss Qin, I haven't had time to call a hotel in the city yet. We still have a car, so we still have time..."

"Too late for what?" Qin Guican snorted coldly, gripping the key in his hand even tighter, and asked casually, "Dai Shutao also lives here?"

"It's in the room next to yours."

"Well, if a girl can live here, why can't I?"

Seeing Qin Guican walking forward without hesitation, Han Zhao felt a little dumbfounded.

How old is his boss? At this age, would he still compare with girls to see who is better?

"Boss, wait a minute, you're going in the wrong direction!"

…

The glass door was covered with white mist. When the door was pushed open, a hazy heat spread out. The woman in her nightgown, without opening her eyes, took two steps forward while wiping her hair, and then automatically sat down on the bed.

Is there anything more relaxing than taking a hot bath after work?

Of course not.

Dai Shutao herself was also surprised that the homestay she stayed in actually had a bathtub. What she didn't expect was that the proprietress was actually a fan of her fan club. When she saw Dai Shutao, she shyly asked for her autograph.

Dai Shutao soon heard about Chen Chuyue's fate. He was said to be suspected of intentional injury and was sentenced to several months in prison.

Chen Chuyue herself did not raise any objection to this. Hu Ke originally considered whether to make a big deal out of this matter to win the favor of passersby who were the victims for Dai Shutao, but this decision was rejected by him.

After all, Chen Chuyue is an employee of Director Lai's team, and Director Lai is the director of his own company. If the matter becomes a big deal, it will only embarrass both parties.

Keeping silent was also to do Director Lai a favor.

This naturally made no sense to Dai Shutao. I'm afraid that in the next filming, Director Lai will be even more attentive than before.

Dai Shutao's hair was half dry and she was thinking about whether to find a hair dryer when there was a knock on the door.
