Chapter 626: Confusion (33)

When the shooting was almost over today, the director received a call.

I don’t know what I said to that person.

The director, who was originally gloomy because of the unsatisfactory progress, felt refreshed after making that phone call. He looked radiant and in a much better mood.

When the call ends.

The director even came out and clapped his hands, telling everyone that they would have an extra meal at a high-end hotel tonight.

When these words were spoken, everyone was stunned.

Didn't we agree to save money? Why are we suddenly going to eat somewhere else?

"Speaking of which, it's all thanks to Lu Ying."

Qin Luying, who was sitting on a bench in his costume, was a bit bewildered after hearing this. Thanks to him? He couldn't remember what he had done.

The crew filming the show were also surprised.

"What did the director say?"

The host of the program team next to him asked for him, and Qin Luying continued to sit on the bench, drinking mineral water, looking at the director over there with some surprise.

"Haha, your boss is here to see you, and he's treating us all to a meal."

The director laughed out loud.

On the other side, Zhuang Wanqing, who was following the heroine, couldn't help but look at Qin Luying who was already unscrewing the bottle cap.

If I remember correctly.

The company behind Qin Luying seems to be one of the three major brokerage companies, right?

The other two big bosses have made appearances.

The only exception is the agency that Qin Luying signed with. It is said that the boss never shows up, but now he shows up?

He also said he wanted to come and see Qin Luying.

Does that mean I'll be here soon?

While Zhuang Wanqing was thinking, Qin Luying, who had heard the news, couldn't help but be a little stunned. He... could meet the boss?

That boss who can only be seen on the photo wall?

This must be a lie, right?

Would their busy boss remember someone like him? Besides, there were so many outstanding seniors in the company, and even these people rarely met the boss.

Even if I saw it.

At most, we would meet by chance in the elevator and say hello.

Or maybe it's a chance encounter, etc. And even if you greet the boss, with so many people, it's hard to guarantee that the boss will remember everyone, right?

However……

This boss, who seemed so high and mighty and impossible to reach to him, now said that he would come here to see him.

Absolutely fake.

Such a denial quickly emerged in Qin Luying's mind, but the words came from the mouth of that very strict director.

He couldn't help but believe it.

He also knew that with his status and ability, he would never be able to get the third male lead in this highly anticipated web drama.

Because there are many people who are better than him.

Moreover, this drama also features heavyweights like Joshua, a super popular idol who transformed into an actor.

If he is from a small company.

He would never get this kind of resource no matter how hard he tried, but the company saw his potential, gave him resources, and he secured the third male lead position.

And Qin Luying also knew it.

The boss of their company was one of the investors, so he was very grateful to this boss whom he had never met.

He later became famous.

It is also absolutely inseparable from the company and boss who helped him.

Qin Luying certainly doesn't expect that he can do anything to repay the company now. All he can do is seize every opportunity to climb up.

So before he reached that height.

He thought that no matter what, he would never catch the boss's eye, but he didn't expect that the other party would come to... visit?

To say I'm unhappy.

That must be fake, he was even a little excited. However, Qin Luying knew in his heart that there was probably only one reason why the boss came to see him.

That's the camera following him.

Because he participated in the show, there has been a lot of hot topics about him recently, and the bosses of other competitors have also appeared.

Exposed materials.

Some of them have already gone viral.

For the future of the company and to launch more brands, it is not surprising that their boss would take action in this matter.

He didn't think he had enough face to invite the boss.

Qin Luying was in a complicated mood.

But he still had to think about how to cooperate with the boss when he met him. The boss should not have much experience. After all, he heard from other colleagues that their boss was a novice.

Thinking about these messy things.

Qin Luying was in distress, while the crew members were chatting and laughing, and seemed to be looking forward to it.

And the other side.

In a place where not many people are paying attention, a young man, protected by his agent, was leisurely flipping through the pages of a book, looking the same as usual.

only.

The noisy sound over there came clearly.

Yu Zhi's slender and beautiful hands rested on the pages of the book, his fingertips gently stroking the touch of the paper, and his eyes fell on the lines of beautiful sentences.

But I couldn't read even a single word.

What were they talking about? What were they saying? The voices came through clearly. It was that person—

Is it coming?

After I accidentally caught a glimpse of her figure that day, the shadow that I had been dreaming about gradually became real, slowly condensing from the dream and turning into reality.

Then came to his side.

I just remembered Qiao Xi whom I saw by chance at that time, and how she had become more mature and beautiful than before.

That kind of indescribable restlessness.

It became increasingly difficult to calm down.

Every time he thought about it, even his airway felt like it was being squeezed. Searing pain and fervent anticipation mingled together, forming an emotion he wasn't yet qualified to explore.

How should I face her?

When we meet.

How could he smile? How could he hide his desire, his blatant and passionate lust that was now too strong to be suppressed?

Yuzhi cannot guarantee it.

It was just that time when I saw her by chance, I felt like I was ignited with excitement.

When I really met Qiao Xi.

Can it still be perfect? ​​He can hide it with his usual hypocritical smile.

The eyes staring at the book became deeper and the gaze became colder. Beneath the calm surface was quietly burning a quiet desire that was hidden very well without revealing the slightest trace of emotion.

want to.

After that, I wanted her more and more.

"It seems like you can order whatever you want. Joshua, is there anything you'd like to eat? It should be fine to relax like this once in a while without having to control your diet."

The agent sitting next to him didn't notice anything unusual.

Listening to the lively sounds over there.

The agent turned to look at Yu Zhi, preparing to hand him the menu. He hadn't expected the boss to be so high-profile upon arrival, inviting so many people to dinner.

A crew of people.

Including the extras we hired, there are at least forty people in total. It’s very generous of us to invite them just like that.

Just when the agent was expressing his feelings.

The young man flipping through a book over there uttered two words calmly: "No."

"Huh?" Now it was the agent's turn to be stunned.

Not going... ?

After all, the other party is the boss of a big agency. It would be nice to get to know him and maybe have a chance to work with him in the future. Why not go?

The agent looked troubled.

I didn’t know how to persuade him for a moment.

He vaguely knew that Yu Zhi's family was not ordinary, but he didn't expect that Yu Zhi didn't even take the other boss seriously.

It’s okay if I skip some dinner parties normally.

It seemed like everything was settled with Yu Zhi, and nothing had happened so far. But the boss who came was from one of the three major agencies, so wouldn't it be disrespectful to him if he just didn't go?

not to mention……

Joshua is the male lead, so his absence will be even more obvious. How will we explain it then?

No matter how you look at it, it seems like Joshua is not giving people face.

"There's no need to get involved in this kind of situation. It's a waste of time."

The young man who had been concentrating on reading closed the book in his hand. He glanced sideways at his agent who looked embarrassed, and his deep gaze met his for a moment.

Inexplicably... a dark and frightening sense of immediacy.

A chill instantly crept up the agent's back, and he froze, motionless. An inexplicable sense of dread spread, even though Joshua's expression was calm.

But he did it for no reason.

From this seemingly calm expression, one can read almost cruel hatred and rejection.

If you mention this again, I will kill you.

Such a sentence suddenly popped up in the agent's mind for no reason, and the appearance of this sentence was entirely a fantasy that came out of him after he and Yu Zhi met eyes at that moment.

It is such an exclusive rejection.

For a moment, the agent was covered in cold sweat and fell silent, not saying anything more.

He could only watch as the young man closed the book, stood up and left leisurely.

The brisk pace seemed to reveal the owner's happy mood.

The agent lowered his head slightly and opened his mouth like a fish, as if he wanted to breathe, but his body was trembling slightly.

Finally, his arms drooped limply.

A feeling of powerlessness as if he was exhausted surged from deep within his heart. He could only stare blankly in the direction where Yu Zhi left, and finally looked away and let out a long sigh.

After the crew had simply cleaned up.

Let’s go to the dining place together.

Zhuang Wanqing wanted to take a car with Yu Zhi, but she couldn't find Yu Zhi on the set, which made her feel depressed.

The person he met was Yu Zhi's agent in China who was planning to leave.

Ask the other party where Yu Zhi went.

The agent just smiled bitterly and said that Yu Zhi didn't like this kind of scene, so he went back early.

Zhuang Wanqing quickly understood.

She knew Joshua's personality and was also aware that he didn't like lively scenes, so whenever the group had a meal or a celebration, she never saw Yu Zhi.

I thought he would go this time.

Unexpectedly, he refused again.

How should I put it? As expected of Joshua, this is truly his style.

Zhuang Wanqing was also a little helpless.

But at the same time, she was relieved because she heard that the boss of the agency behind Qin Luying was a beauty, and she also heard from others that the boss who rarely appeared had also shown up.

so.

Zhuang Wanqing was still a little worried to some extent.

Although Joshua's agency is not bad, with such an outstanding person, it is difficult to guarantee that the boss behind Qin Luying will not have the intention of poaching him.

after all……

When it comes to popularity, Joshua, who is very popular both at home and abroad, cannot be underestimated.

The program crew that filmed with Qin Luying was very happy.

Along the way, he did a lot to liven up the atmosphere and asked Qin Luying a lot of things about the boss, but Qin Luying himself didn't know much, so he could only say whatever came to his mind.

But thanks to this.

The atmosphere along the way was relaxed and harmonious, and we arrived at our destination smoothly.

"Wow, it's really luxurious."

The host who had just got off the car expressed his feelings without reservation, even using many exaggerated adjectives.

In conjunction with.

Qin Luying, who got off the car with them, was also dazed and distracted for a moment when he saw the building.

Even in the dark it is still bright.

As if symbolizing the supreme prosperity and money of the big city, the strangely shaped buildings seem to be rising into the clouds, and seem to exude a magical charm that is enough to immerse people in the extravagant life.

It's like two dividing lines.

The 'upper class' is right before your eyes, within reach.

And now.

They were invited and truly set foot in this world.

The host's voice was extremely excited, and the camera was filming the surrounding scene without reservation, as if it wanted to see every corner clearly, shooting in all directions without blind spots.

The people who received them.

It seemed as if he had been informed in advance, and he always kept smiling and was very polite to them.

And here.

Apart from them and the waiter, there was no one in sight.

"Are there no other guests?"

Zhuang Wanqing couldn't help but ask out of curiosity. This was her first time in a place of this level.

The most exclusive place I've ever been to.

She was accompanying a certain director, and that was enough to make her feel dazzled at that time. However, the one who magnified this feeling tenfold tonight was the boss behind Qin Luying.

Such financial resources.

It also symbolizes power and status, which makes her feel hot inside.

"Miss Xi has reserved the entire place temporarily."

The person who greeted them said this with a smile, a perfect poker face mask, and it was hard to tell how much sincerity was hidden under that polite smile.

Zhuang Wanqing was horrified.

Privately book the whole place? A place like this? She couldn't imagine booking a place like this on the spur of the moment.

"That's really courageous."

Even the director couldn't help but sigh with emotion, his heart burning with excitement, and he was looking forward to meeting the next investor.

Can be in that position.

It turns out that none of them are easy to mess with.

Everyone was taken upstairs in the elevator with emotion, listening to the waiter's introduction. That's right, Qiao Xi invited them here for more than just a meal.

Also included is a night of entertainment.

This is really a great gift. The various introductions are almost enough to make people dizzy. There are countless types of entertainment and things that you would never think of normally, all of which are ways to tempt people into depravity.

But for them.

This kind of entertainment is also top-notch.

After arriving at the floor where Qiao Xi was, their mentality changed compared to before they came here.

I clearly didn't see the boss.

However, everyone who came here couldn't help but become nervous.

The elevator door opened.

Led by the waiter into the hall, they saw an elegant woman with angelic beauty smiling at them in the magnificent hall, as if she had walked out of an oil painting.

The moment Qin Luying saw her, his pupils contracted slightly.

A living person, far more beautiful than in a photo, appeared before him. His nervousness seemed even more exaggerated than he had expected.

The director talked to the other party enthusiastically.

The program crew also asked the cameraman to point the camera at her, but in the gap between the crowd, the boss still noticed herself.

Then, I don’t know if the next moment was an illusion.

Qin Luying seemed to see her smiling at him?

The voice that followed seemed to pull him back from the edge.

The pleasant and gentle female voice seemed to carry a hint of blame, but more of a helpless smile.

"Why are you standing so far away, silly boy? Come here."

She waved to Qin Luying.

Her actions are as lively as a young girl, but her words are like those of a gentle and mature older sister.

There's not much age difference between them.

Qin Luying thought he was about the same age as his boss, at twenty-three. But when he was addressed in that child-like tone, he couldn't help but blush.

I felt a little ashamed for a moment.

"Boss...I'm not a kid anymore."

Qin Luying's tone was a little stiff. No matter how you look at it, he is an adult.

and.

After coming to Qiao Xi's side, he was higher than Qiao Xi. Although he knew that the other party's status was higher than his, he felt a little ashamed and uncomfortable when Qiao Xi treated him in this way.

However, he didn't seem to hate it.

"Huh? Is our Lu Ying shy? Wow—standing next to such a beautiful boss, she would be shy indeed!"

The show's hosts didn't miss his transformation.

The camera naturally did not miss this scene.

Qin Luying's somewhat restrained and awkward appearance was quickly captured by the camera.

Compared to Qiao Xi, who was calm and composed, and even chatted and laughed with the director without any pressure.

There was also Qin Luying, who was being taken care of as a junior, following Qiao Xi closely, but with an awkward expression on his face.

This picture.

It looks a bit strange and inexplicably inconsistent.

It was a perfect treat.

Qiao Xi left after having dinner with the crew, but before leaving, she gave Qin Luying instructions like an elder, and also gave instructions to Qin Luying's agent, which was captured by the camera again.

Until the end.

Qin Luying had an awkward expression on his face. When Qiao Xi finally left, he could no longer hold back and squatted on the ground with his hands covering his face.

"This, this...Lu Ying, don't worry about it."

The agent next to him was comforting him.

However, even the agent who was comforting Qin Luying felt a strange feeling. How should I put it? He... He was a man in his thirties, being told this by a boss who was younger than him.

actually……

It also feels a bit... discordant.

What's more, Qin Luying is still young, and the extent to which he cares about such things is probably beyond his imagination.

That sense of déjà vu is probably like—

It feels like calling a kid who is still in kindergarten "Grandma".

It's just an analogy, but the feeling is pretty much the same.

But, but he's the boss, there's nothing we can do, right?

"It seems that she is quite shy." The host also enjoyed watching the fun and teased Qin Luying in front of the camera.

Qin Luying just felt ashamed.

He stared at the wall with despair, silently avoiding the camera. He knew he shouldn't be so out of control, but he still felt... a little difficult to face.
