Xu Ling's eyes were as big as copper bells, and her voice was trembling: "Xie, why didn't you notify me when Mr. Xie came? No, why is Mr. Xie in Zhining's room so early in the morning? That's not right, you, you..."
She was obviously shocked and incoherent.
Xu Ling quickly realized, "Wait, was it because Mr. Xie was hiding in the bathroom last night that you didn't let me go to the bathroom?"
Lu Zhining scratched his head and glared at Xie Jingsui with resentment in his eyes.
Did he do it on purpose, deliberately running out so that Sister Ling could see him?
"Oh, Zhi Ning, you're such a fool! Since Mr. Xie is coming, why didn't you notify me? I'm your manager. I didn't even bring breakfast for Mr. Xie. Otherwise, Mr. Xie, please wait and I'll go buy it for you."
That servile look shows that no matter how strong a person is, he has to bow down to capital.
"No need," Xie Jingsui continued to wipe his hair and looked at Lu Zhining, "What time is the filming?"
Lu Zhining glanced at his bathrobe, and the blood-spurting scene of him wrapped only in a bath towel flashed through his mind. He swallowed subconsciously and said, "After nine o'clock."
"Okay, how about I visit the crew?"
This one sentence scared Lu Zhining so much that he immediately exploded, "No, don't move, don't go anywhere!"
Xie Jingsui reached out and pinched her delicate face, his eyes full of doting, "Okay, I won't go. I'll wait for you to come back to the hotel."
This sounds a bit...
He subconsciously looked at Xu Ling, and she was indeed looking at him with a sly smile on her lips.
"Don't talk nonsense and let people misunderstand you. Last night I slept on the bed and you slept on the sofa. Nothing happened between us."
Xie Jingsui cooperated and nodded in agreement: "Well, nothing happened."
For some reason, Lu Zhining felt that the more he explained, the worse the situation would become.
"Also, I don't want to see you still in the room when I get home from work. You're such a big CEO, there's no way you don't even have money for a hotel room."
Xie Jingsui continued to cooperate, "Okay, what kind of room would Zhining like?"
Lu Zhining was puzzled: "What does it have to do with me if you check into a hotel? Isn't it according to your own preferences?"
Xu Ling's smile became even more obscene.
When the crew came to inform them that the bus had arrived, Lu Zhining was so scared that she quickly pushed Xie Jingsui into the bathroom. Xu Ling held the door, trying her best to prevent the crew from seeing what was inside.
When we arrived at the set, we found that one of the makeup artists had taken sick leave, and more than a dozen supporting actors were queuing up to have their makeup done by the only makeup artist.
The filming process was slightly delayed, so Lu Zhining found a small stool to sit down and play with his mobile phone.
After finishing the work call, Xu Ling immediately came over to gossip: "Tell me the truth, when did Mr. Xie come?"
Lu Zhining didn't even bother to lift his eyelids. "Last night."
"How long have you been talking?"
Xu Ling used the word "conversation" in a particularly ambiguous way, and the meaning was self-evident. Lu Zhining had a dirty mind to begin with, and he understood the meaning almost instantly.
"overnight."
Lu Zhining lied with his eyes wide open, but Xu Ling was shocked. "Is Mr. Xie really that impressive? Unlike my abstract ex-husband who only lasted three minutes."
Lu Zhining was now interested. She stared at Xu Ling with sparkling eyes, her tone full of curiosity: "Can a man really only last three minutes?"
Xu Ling nodded solemnly, "Why would I lie to you? No wonder he suddenly likes men. If he were a bottom, he wouldn't have this worry."
"Eh~" Lu Zhining said with disgust, "How disgusting. Sister Ling, just thinking about the fact that you slept with a guy before must make you want to vomit, commit suicide, and even curse his entire family, right?"
Xu Ling's mouth twitched fiercely, "I didn't originally, but why do you emphasize it?"
Lu Zhining made a gesture to keep quiet, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Xu Ling had successfully diverted the topic.
Today's filming went smoothly. It happened to be the birthday of two employees, so the director invited the entire crew to dinner.
I heard that it was a very famous hot pot restaurant in Yang City. Lu Zhining hadn't eaten hot pot for a long time, and his appetite was immediately aroused when he heard it.
Taking into account that some people may not be able to attend due to some reasons, the venue staff specifically asked everyone one by one to calculate the number of people.
Lu Zhining was already rubbing his hands together, ready to sign up, when Xu Ling couldn't help but pour a bucket of cold water on him: "You can't go. What will happen to Mr. Xie if you go?"
Lu Zhining frowned and said unhappily, "He's a grown man in his thirties, can't he even solve the problem of food and clothing? Either order takeout or go out to eat."
Xu Ling was so disappointed that she dragged Lu Zhining into a corner and lectured her, "Why did Mr. Xie come all the way to see you? Wasn't it just to spend some time alone with you to bond? You little bitch, if you keep doing this, you'll lose such a great boyfriend sooner or later."
Lu Zhining shrugged and said, "If I lose something, I lose it. I always believe that the next one will be better."
I'm tired and don't want to talk anymore.
Just then, the stagehand found Lu Zhining. Before he could say anything, Lu Zhining smiled and nodded, "Go, go, I'll go, I'll go. Remember me to sit at the spicy food table."
The stagehand grinned and said, "Okay!"
Xu Ling felt so sorry for Xie Jingsui. She would have dumped him long ago if she had such a girlfriend.
Lu Zhining still had a conscience. Before leaving, he called Xie Jingsui to inform him, asked for his room number, and ordered a big meal for him.
All the money I spent was given by Xie Jingsui. I don’t feel any pain at all. I really don’t feel any pain at all.
The hot pot restaurant is located in an antique two-story building. The first floor is the lobby and the second floor is the private room. As there are so many people on the crew, they can only sit on the first floor. The hundred or so people occupy almost half of the seats.
Lu Zhining sat at the same table with Liang Yuxian, Bai Feifan, the director and others. The weather was getting colder and they were afraid that the protagonists would catch a cold from the cold wind, so they sat at the innermost position near the stairs.
"Next Monday, our crew has been invited to participate in the 'Caring for and Protecting Wildlife' event hosted by the Yang City Animal Protection Association. Yuxian has something to do that day, Feifan Zhining, you two will come with me."
The director gave instructions while eating.
Lu Zhining stuffed a mouthful of fat beef covered in sesame sauce. The aroma of sesame sauce and chili oil mixed with the aroma of the fat beef itself swept over his taste buds. Lu Zhining squinted his eyes in satisfaction.
"By the way, I saw the weather forecast saying it's going to drop significantly in the next couple of days. You guys should always have thick coats ready to avoid getting sick and affecting the filming process."
The two directors were muttering almost the entire time, Liang Yuxian and Bai Feifan occasionally chimed in, while Lu Zhining was concentrating on eating.
At this moment, a burst of screams suddenly broke out from the crowd: "Look, look, that's Mr. Xie from the Emperor Group, right? He's Pei Jing's uncle. I've watched variety shows and I'll never forget Mr. Xie's handsome face."
"Oh my god, it's really my uncle. Why is my uncle in Yang City? Is he coming here to eat too?"
Lu Zhining was horrified and exchanged glances with Xu Ling. They both looked towards the door and saw Xie Jingsui, dressed in a suit and looking very dignified, walking in, surrounded by several middle-aged men who looked like they ate very well.
He walked steadily with his back straight, and his well-tailored suit made him look particularly noble and elegant.
