In order to avoid living under the surveillance of Old Man Qi every day, Qi Shengzhi knew that he should agree to Yue Feiying's conditions this time.
But the rebellious nerve in his heart couldn't bear to see the certainty in Yue Feiying's eyes that he would agree.
No matter what, we have to get back some ground, otherwise we don’t know how arrogant this little fox Yue Feiying will be in the future.
He suddenly smiled, his peach blossom eyes full of doting expression:
"Of course...it's not expensive. It's totally worth it."
Yue Feiying laughed even more happily after hearing what he said.
I knew she had guessed right. She hadn't been doing nothing in Yue Mansion these days. She also asked Lao Wang to find out a lot of gossip about the Qi family, true or false. It would never go wrong to know more about the "allies". Wouldn't this come in handy?
Just as he was about to proudly show off his achievement to Shao Jingque, someone suddenly pulled him around the waist and he fell into Qi Shengzhi's arms.
Before he could react to what he wanted to do, he heard Qi Shengzhi say:
"But I forgot to bring my wallet today. Is it convenient to pay when I pick up the photos?"
Originally, Shao Jingque was a little surprised to see Yue Feiying being pulled into Qi Shengzhi's arms, but what surprised her even more was that Yue Feiying did not show any resistance?
With her understanding of Yue Feiying, she immediately had the answer in her heart. This guy must be up to something...
"No problem, Yingying is my best friend. I wouldn't trust her if I couldn't trust anyone else. Besides, Master Qi has a great reputation. How could he possibly owe him a mere two thousand yuan?"
Oh, you're so arrogant, and it's just two thousand yuan...
Qi Shengzhi sneered in his heart. Birds of a feather flock together. The little fox's friends were not easy to deal with either. Every word they said reminded him not to ruin his reputation for two thousand yuan.
"Thank you very much. Feiying and I have other things to do, so we'll be leaving first."
Yue Feiying looked up in confusion. How come she didn’t know what else she had to do today? She wanted to take pictures and stay with her bird for a while longer!
Just as she was about to question, she suddenly felt a shock on her waist, and two slender fingers rubbed her waist ambiguously.
When she looked up at Qi Shengzhi again, she saw that the corners of his mouth were curved, and his slightly narrowed peach blossom eyes were flashing with an ambiguous light, staring at her straight.
Yue Feiying's heart skipped a beat. He who knows the current situation is a hero. It is better not to provoke him. After all, he has already made him bleed a lot today. If he says there is something wrong, then there is something wrong!
But after this departure, I probably won’t be able to see Shao Jingque again until the wedding day.
Yue Feiying said goodbye to her reluctantly:
"Jingque, you must come early that day, otherwise I will be bored to death!"
These words made Qi Shengzhi's temples twitch, and he snorted in his heart, thinking, did he think she was the only one who felt bored?
He also thought marrying her would be no fun!
After the two left, Shao Jingque helped Rong Yongsi try to make the set. It was indeed much more difficult than she had imagined. If it was done too roughly, it would affect the film's effect.
She thought about it and, considering that the scenery would become increasingly rich and complex in the later stages, she would have to hire a professional to do it.
Shao Jingque had a good candidate in mind - Wu Shuang.
Wu Shuang is a senior stagehand in the art troupe. Although she is a woman, she has no problem building complex sets and her work is more meticulous than that of the average male stagehand. She can also notice that some props have sharp edges and corners, and she will stay to work overtime to polish them carefully. You can often see her busy backstage.
Moreover, Wu Shuang's family financial situation is somewhat difficult, and having some extra income should be of some help to her.
After discussing with Rong Yongsi about hiring someone to set up the scenery, Shao Jingque hurried back to the art troupe dormitory before it got dark.
Wu Shuang was busy preparing dinner for her family in the communal kitchen. When she saw Shao Jingque coming, she immediately said happily:
"Sister Jingque, you came just in time. I made some corn grits porridge today. Just have a bowl. It's good for your stomach."
Shao Jingque saw that there were many people talking in the public kitchen and it was not easy to speak directly, so he asked her to turn off the fire first and go downstairs with him.
Seeing that there was no one around, he lowered his voice and said to Wu Shuang:
"Sister Wu, I have a friend who owns a photography studio. He wants to hire a set design artist to come once a month to help him set up the studio. He'll pay him ten yuan per session. Would you be willing to do it?"
Wu Shuang was shocked when she heard this. She was timid and had never thought of taking private work outside the unit. If she was reported, she would definitely be fired. She didn't dare to do such a thing.
But the opportunity that Shao Jingque mentioned sounded too tempting. She only had to go once a month and would get a reward of ten yuan. If she could earn an extra ten yuan a month, her family's tight living expenses would be eased a lot.
She thought about it for a long time, and finally shook her head with an apologetic look on her face:
"Sister Jingque, thank you for your kindness, but I really don't dare to take this risk... You know my family situation, and I rely on this job to support my family. If someone finds out and reports it to the group, I'm worried I'll be expelled..."
Shao Jingque knew that Wu Shuang had always been timid, and her worries were not unreasonable. He could not guarantee that the problems Wu Shuang was worried about would not occur.
Thinking of this, Shao Jingque no longer wanted to force her:
"It's okay, Sister Wu. You're right. You're the backbone of your family, and you really can't afford to make any mistakes. I'll ask other people for him."
Wu Shuang was very grateful to Shao Jingque. She knew that Shao Jingque must want to help her, which was why he came to her first. She didn't want to disappoint Shao Jingque.
"Sister Jingque, let me think about it again..."
Wu Shuang bit her lip, feeling a conflict between her conscience and her desires. On the one hand, she didn't want to refuse Shao Jingque's kindness, but on the other hand, she really needed the extra ten dollars. She racked her brains and finally came up with an idea, but she was too embarrassed to say it out loud.
Shao Jingque saw her secretly looking up at him several times, and knew that she might have something to say, so he smiled and said:
"Sister Wu, just say whatever you want to say. We have such a good relationship, there's no need to hide it."
Wu Shuang felt relieved after hearing her words, and then she said shamelessly:
"Actually...I want to recommend someone to you, my man."
"He used to be a stagehand in our art troupe, but a long time ago, he accidentally fell from a high scenic spot while building it and broke his leg. He couldn't continue working. At that time, the troupe leader was taking care of our family, so he asked me to take his shift."
"Don't worry, Jingque. He's very skilled. He taught me everything I know. Many people in the group are his apprentices."
"I was thinking... he might not be able to build the large stage scaffolding, but small set pieces should be no problem. I was wondering if I could let him try?"
