Ye Qing was quite surprised to hear Liu Wei say that.
Unlike Xu Xiaoyue and Liu Wei, Ye Qing and Liu Wei never argued. Although their relationship wasn't great, it wasn't bad either. They lived in the same dormitory, and their relationship was still acceptable on the surface.
This is why, despite being wary of Liu Wei, Ye Qing eventually agreed to Liu Wei's request last time. Of course, money was one factor, but it was definitely not the one that made Ye Qing decide to go through with it.
Ye Qing is short of money, but she won't abandon her principles for money.
Ye Qing mainly felt that since they shared a dormitory, Liu Wei should be someone he could trust.
However, Ye Qing still clearly remembers the attitude of Liu Wei and her fellow villager when she last came back.
Their whispers were interrupted, and upon seeing it was them, they felt embarrassed, uncomfortable, and even a little awkward...
That complicated expression looks like someone caught talking badly about another person.
However, unlike others, Ye Qing did not hear what they said.
With this little incident, Ye Qing certainly couldn't agree like last time. Making money was important, but if he were to be schemed against because of it, that would be a big problem.
Therefore, Ye Qing decided to politely decline Liu Wei's offer.
Just as she was about to speak, Liu Wei said, "Judging from your expression, it seems you don't believe me. If you don't believe me, you can ask Liang Youjie. Aren't you two on good terms?"
Ye Qing asked in surprise, "What does this have to do with Liang Youjie?"
Liu Wei: "The person who took these photos is the one who filmed the music video for Liang Youjie."
Ye Qing blinked and said, "A TV director is here to shoot a calendar?"
It's hard to believe, isn't it?
"How could a TV director come to shoot calendars? I mean the photographer, I think that's what it's called. Liang Youjie's music video was shot by this photographer. Now that he's out of work, he's shooting calendars to earn some pocket money."
After listening to Liu Wei's detailed explanation, Ye Qing was still not sure what to do, but she was less doubtful. However, because of her relationship with Liu Wei, Ye Qing was still hesitant.
"What, you still don't believe me?" Liu Wei asked.
Ye Qing smiled and said, "It's not that I don't trust you, it's just that... well, I've been busy with other things lately, so I might not have time."
"Then you..." After saying that, Ye Qing saw that Liu Wei seemed particularly disappointed and anxious, which made him even more puzzled. So he interrupted Liu Wei, "Really, I have some things to take care of myself recently."
“If you go and film it, even though I have money, you definitely won’t lose out.”
"I really have something to do," Ye Qing said, sounding quite helpless.
"Shooting on Saturday..."
Before Liu Wei could finish speaking, Xu Xiaoyue returned. Seeing that Ye Qing was still there, she said, "Why are you still here?"
Liu Wei glanced at Xu Xiaoyue with dissatisfaction, still hoping to get a positive answer from Ye Qing, but Ye Qing's attention had been diverted to Xu Xiaoyue. She asked, "Didn't you come back too?"
"Oh dear, I came back because I forgot my pager. What about you? Didn't you make plans with someone? Look at the time, it's already so late. It'll take us a while to get there by bus." Xu Xiaoyue found her pager, put it in her bag, and then pulled Ye Qing away.
Ye Qing glanced at the time; it was getting late. He quickly said goodbye to Liu Wei and left.
Watching the door slam shut with a bang, Liu Wei stomped her foot in anger.
Ye Qing was unaware of Liu Wei's attitude after she left, but since she had genuinely asked Xu Xiaoyue to make the appointment today, she didn't think that her sudden departure would make Liu Wei think she was doing it on purpose.
The two boarded the bus, and Ye Qing asked Xu Xiaoyue, "Have you discussed this with the other party? If the rent is too high, I can't afford it."
Ye Qing and Xu Xiaoyue went to rent a house today. Ye Qing had been thinking about opening her own shop, and now it was time to put it on the agenda. Also, it was winter vacation, and she definitely wouldn't be going back to Xiaoyao Village. Renting a house would ensure she had somewhere to go for the New Year.
Xu Xiaoyue said, "Don't worry, that place is similar to the place where we took pictures before. It's some abandoned and converted factory buildings. Because they can't pay wages, they're thinking of renting out those buildings to make some money."
Originally, they were planning to sell it.
They can't sell other things in the factory because they say it involves state-owned assets or something, but this house seems to be okay to sell. I forget why, and what they said. They originally planned to sell it, but now they're renting it to you because I found the person in charge.
The person in charge of this is a friend of my dad's. He used to be very close to my dad, and after he passed away, he and his wife have taken good care of me. Besides, Ye Qing, would I harm you? If it weren't for you helping me get this fashion show deal, my grandfather probably wouldn't have been able to have the surgery. I wouldn't cheat you.”
Ye Qing wasn't afraid that Xu Xiaoyue would trick him, but rather that she would be tricked too.
"By the way, the fashion show is about to take place. How are your preparations going?" Ye Qing asked Xu Xiaoyue, thinking about the fashion show for Taizi Fashion this Saturday night.
Xu Xiaoyue waved her hand: "As long as nothing like the heel breaks after I go on stage, there's no problem."
Hearing Xu Xiaoyue say that, Ye Qing smiled, which meant that Xu Xiaoyue should be fine.
The rented apartment was a bit far from the bus stop, and the two of them had to walk a while after getting off the bus. Luckily, there was a public phone, and Xu Xiaoyue said she would page the uncle she knew to tell him that they had come to see the apartment and ask where they should wait for him.
While Xu Xiaoyue was making a phone call, Ye Qing waited nearby. Bored standing there, Ye Qing slowly started walking forward. As she walked, she unexpectedly saw Xi Quan, and for some reason, she instinctively flinched away.
Seeing Xi Quan approaching surrounded by a group of people, Ye Qing quickly hid behind a tree.
After hiding, Ye Qing watched Xi Quan and his group walk away, thinking that he shouldn't be able to see her anymore. However, she saw Xu Xiaoyue, who had just finished making a phone call, walk right up to Xi Quan and his group. Ye Qing suddenly became nervous.
If he hadn't been hiding from Xi Quan, Xi Quan would have seen him. But now that he was hiding, if Xi Quan saw him, Ye Qing thought he might make fun of him. Ye Qing decided it was better to pretend he didn't see him.
Just as she was getting anxious, she saw Xu Xiaoyue looking in her direction, and Ye Qing subconsciously moved to the side again.
They were hiding even more discreetly than before, but at the same time, Ye Qing realized something: "Why am I hiding from Xi Quan?!"
She herself couldn't figure out what she was thinking at that moment. Just as Ye Qing was struggling with whether or not to go out openly, someone tapped her on the shoulder. Ye Qing was extremely nervous and instinctively bent down to pick up a brick from the ground.
