Chapter 39
"Then can you meet Sheng Ge? He's the Zhou family's favorite male lead. I like him so much. If you can help me get an autograph, I'll be grateful." Zhou Mingshu's tone was full of excitement. When she first received Yan Qing's call and heard about this, she felt a little awkward, thinking that she was now keeping a secret from her. But the next second, she immediately forgave her, "I understand your concerns!"
In the evening, I went to visit Zhou Jiaxing's studio for a while, but Zhou Jiaxing left in a hurry because he had some work to do. Before he left, he asked Qianlin to take Yan Qing to visit.
After he left, Yan Qing saw that it was getting late, so she asked Qian Lin to take her back to the hotel.
Sitting in the car, Zhou Jiaxing's apology message was still showing on his phone.
[Zhou Jiaxing]: I’m really sorry, I have to meet an investor at the last minute, but don’t worry, this drama won’t allow any messy stuff to appear.
This news not only explained why he left suddenly, but also gave Yan Qing peace of mind.
Her first novel to be adapted into a film or TV series was boycotted by fans due to the interference of various investors after the show was broadcast, and her career was also hindered to a certain extent.
But this time she never worried about this problem.
When I returned to the hotel, Ming Xu's message seemed to have been located. As soon as I sat down on the sofa, his message came.
[Ming Xu]: Did your business trip go well?
Yan Qing replied with a panda emoji, then put down her phone and went to wash up.
At this moment, she suddenly missed the bathtub at home. Taking a comfortable bath after a busy day was like being in heaven.
After taking a shower, Yan Qing did not go to bed to rest immediately. Instead, she sat in front of the computer. This has been her habit for many years. After taking a shower, she is more awake at night. The mush of the day in her brain is washed away by water. At this time, she likes to write some small pieces.
Ming Xu looked at the emoticons in the dialog box. He had never seen this before. After they met again, he rarely saw Yan Qing send emoticons.
It was just like when I first met her, but also different.
My thoughts were interrupted by the flickering icon in the lower right corner of the computer.
[Yan Qing]: What is this?
[Ming Xu]: Let me show you the pictures of the B&B expansion. Are you still awake?
After seeing the message, she subconsciously glanced at the time. It was just past eleven o'clock, and she was not sleepy at all. Her brain cells were very active at the moment. Yan Qing did not want to give up her spring-like inspiration.
But the hands are not controlled by the brain.
【I fell asleep immediately.】
【Okay, good night.】
Mingxu rubbed his temples and looked out the window.
The design of the B&B renovation has been roughly completed, and he needs to do the final inspection. Staying up late is inevitable because he has to determine the start time of construction and arrange the closing time of the B&B tomorrow.
Yan Qing's fingers danced nimbly on the keyboard, and time passed by bit by bit.
The sky gradually turned pale.
Suddenly, Yan Qing felt a tingling sensation in his arms. He slowly opened his eyes and stared blankly at the computer on the table, only to realize that he had fallen asleep while writing.
When did writing become so hypnotic?
However, she still thinks it is because she doesn't often stay up late.
She stopped thinking about it, stretched her waist while sitting on the chair, then stood up and stood in front of the window to do some simple stretching. Yan Qing moved her body, feeling a little emotional. She didn't know how she could sleep so soundly on the desk when she was in school.
She would probably sleep until noon now, as she still had work to do in the morning. She would wait until seven o'clock and then go downstairs to the restaurant for lunch.
Yan Qing was not used to drinking coffee, but in order to have better energy, she still made a cup of coffee from the hotel. After taking the first sip, she pushed the cup into the corner. It was too unpalatable.
He glanced at the coffee cup with disdain and opened his phone to ask for help.
[Yan Qing]: I recommend a refreshing drink.
[Zhou Mingshu]: Iced Americano, heavenly in one sip.
[Yan Qing]: I almost vomited.
[Zhou Mingshu]: Give me the address.
Looking at the takeaway on the table, Yan Qing wanted to slap herself and never tell Zhou Mingshu her address again.
Her message appeared on Yan Qing's phone along with the last takeaway.
Two cups should be enough to keep you going until noon.
Yan Qing still felt it was too much. Two cups of coffee was what she consumed in the last six months.
The morning work was relatively simple, and all communication was online. In order to take care of some people in the team who are temporarily not in South City, today's meeting was mainly online.
When she has nothing to do, she can take a break.
Zhou Mingshu also ordered some fruit in the morning, under the pretext of energizing Yan Qing's brain.
Yan Qing was unwilling to expose the hint in her story.
At noon, Qian Lin came over. Yan Qing didn't want to trouble her, but Qian Lin didn't give in and said that Director Zhou had instructed her to make sure she had a good meal.
Looking at the takeaway box in her hand, Yan Qing bit her lip and said nothing.
Qian Lin set the table and looked at her with sparkling eyes: "You can eat now. This restaurant is Director Zhou's favorite. They don't do takeout. Usually, Director Zhou has people order from the restaurant and then bring it back."
Manual takeout.
There is still some difference between it and what I want to eat.
Yan Qing’s definition of food is that it’s enough to fill her stomach, unless it is something that specifically suits her appetite.
She wanted to ask Qianlin to eat with her, but Qianlin said he had already eaten.
After watching Yan Qing finish her meal, Qian Lin packed up the trash and prepared to leave: "Teacher Yan, have a good rest this afternoon. I'll pick you up at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning."
The next day, it was already the time Qianlin had agreed upon, but she still hadn't arrived. Yan Qing had a bad feeling. At this moment, news came from Zhou Jiaxing.
[I have some problems here, so all work has to be suspended now. Sorry.]
An hour later, Yan Qing looked at Zhou Jiaxing and Qianyang who were in a hurry at the door. She didn't expect Director Zhou to come in person.
Zhou Jiaxing sat on the single sofa opposite Yan Qing, hesitant to speak, but Qianyang spoke first: "The news of the adaptation has been leaked, and now the Internet is flooded with news. I have to catch the traitor first, so that we can continue our work."
As he spoke, Yan Qing opened his phone, and related hot searches had already occupied the entire screen.
【Zhou Jiaxing】
[Film and TV adaptation after parting ways with the person I love]
【Clear Water】
【Shui Zhiqing's writing style】
【Zhou Family Straw Bag】
【Zhou Jiaxing bullies classmates at university】
Yan Qing didn’t care much about the first few things, but the more she read, the more confused she became, [Zhou Jiaxing bullied classmates in college]?
Zhou Jiaxing guessed what Yan Qing had seen and said helplessly, "That video was a work I shot with my original team during my freshman year. It was about bullying. I didn't expect it to be dug up. It's not a problem, but he maliciously fabricated rumors about our collaboration."
He became angrier as he spoke, and waved his fists in the air a few times.
Qian Yang continued, "Teacher Yan, Director Zhou actually cares more about your cooperation. These videos are innocent, and someone with inside information will come forward to explain."
"I only believe what I see."
Half an hour later, Shui Zhiqing’s social media platform was updated.
【Happy cooperation @周家彳亍. 】
As soon as this post was released, it immediately became a hot topic.
At the same time, Sheng Ge, who was filming a commercial, saw the trending search after being reminded by his assistant. He immediately forwarded Shui Zhiqing's blog post and commented: "The clear will be cleared."
With Shengge's support, the public opinion on the Internet that had originally been directed towards Zhou Jiaxing completely turned to him, and netizens began to criticize the person who first broke the news.
Ming Xu saw the news first and was very worried, but he didn't dare to disturb them easily.
After thinking for a moment, he finally made the call.
The other party quickly picked up the phone: "I'll be back tomorrow."
Ming Xu didn't expect Yan Qing to take the initiative to tell him about her itinerary, and immediately expressed his willingness to pick her up.
At the airport, the two smiled at each other.
Looking at the flowers in her arms, Yan Qing didn't expect that after so many times, she had actually taken his efforts for granted.
"I didn't even have a good time strolling around Nancheng this time and I came back." Yan Qing felt a little regretful. Nancheng has many scenic spots that have become popular in film and television dramas, and she has always wanted to visit the places where the characters created by those authors live.
Ming Xu: "I'm free next week."
Yan Qing leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes to rest: "I didn't say I wanted to go with you."
"Is it too late for me to sign up now?"
"Well, the organizers have to think about it."
Ming Xu smiled and waited obediently for the organizer's lucky draw.
Yan Qing received a call from Zhou Mingshu. She had flown abroad yesterday, and only saw the trending news today after a friend reminded her. She immediately called the overseas caller.
"I'm fine, don't worry."
Zhou Mingshu was standing on the beach in Maldives and was about to say something when he was stopped by Fan Zhuoyi.
After hanging up the phone, she didn't understand her boyfriend: "Why didn't you let me talk to her more after something like this happened?"
Fan Zhuoyi is a smart man. The moment Yan Qingyi picked up the phone, he heard his girlfriend's name. The voice was very soft, but he definitely didn't hear it wrong?
"You mean, there's someone next to Xixi."
He gave her a smart look and said, "Who else could be in Haicheng?"
The two looked at each other and understood each other tacitly.
They walked hand in hand on the beach, and once they discovered the secret that had not yet been revealed, it would definitely become a huge topic of conversation.
"They shouldn't be together yet, right?" Zhou Mingshu was worried. On the one hand, he hoped that his good friend would find his own happiness, and on the other hand, he was afraid that Yan Qing would get hurt.
The two villains in my head almost got into a fight.
Fan Zhuoyi comforted her that the worst news was just her concern.
"Just like when we first met, you wanted to take me to meet your best friend. I didn't want to meet him because I was afraid something uncontrollable would happen in the future. I wanted to wait until our relationship was more stable. If you hadn't dragged me along, I would have probably run away."
As soon as he finished speaking, a fist landed on his head.
Accompanied by a violent storm: "Fan Zhuoyi, I didn't expect you still have such thoughts?"
His meaning was misinterpreted, and he dodged while explaining: "It's not what you think. Listen to me."
"Don't say anything yet."
The two chased each other on the beach. In the end, Zhou Mingshu was really exhausted and shouted to Fan Zhuoyi, who was not far away, to stop.
"I won't hit you anymore, come back soon."
Fan Zhuoyi didn't believe it. She had used this method no less than ten times, and she couldn't afford to be fooled every time.
Looking at her boyfriend walking back, Zhou Mingshu squatted on the beach, dragging her face and showing an evil smile where no one was paying attention.
As he approached, Zhou Mingshu immediately jumped up and tried to control her boyfriend, but he dodged her. She lost her balance and fell to the beach: "Fan Zhuoyi!"
Fan Zhuoyi, however, had a look of triumph on his face: "I knew you weren't really going to call a truce. I predicted that, didn't I? Hahahaha."
The plan failed, Zhou Mingshu was angry and humiliated, and walked towards the hotel. She didn't want this boyfriend for the time being.
Seeing his girlfriend running away, Fan Zhuoyi immediately trotted to catch up with her.
"Baby, wait for me."
"Don't be angry."
Yan Qing hung up the phone and continued to close her eyes to rest. The flight was too early and she didn't sleep well, but she attributed it all to staying up late the day before.
Watching Yan Qing gradually falling asleep, Ming Xu slowed down the car.
In her dream, Yan Qing seemed to see that figure again. This time, he found her.
