Chapter 185: Reporting Safety
Shi Feiye thought Qin Buzhu had something wrong, so she quickly picked up the phone: "Hello, what's wrong?"
As soon as he said this, Qin Buju paused, as if he couldn't call her for no reason. He restrained his tone and asked, "How are you settling down? Have you met the crew?"
Ever since she arrived there and sent him a message "I'm here", there has been no news until now. It's already ten o'clock, and there is still no movement. Qin Buju finally couldn't bear it anymore.
He had lunch at the company and asked Shi Leng to pack a bowl for him and bring it to the office. He had dinner outside. When he got home, Qian Boyen asked him something, and they talked for more than an hour. He talked about a lot of things. After he hung up the phone and finished the things he needed to deal with, he turned around and saw darkness at the door.
Only then did he remember that there was no one else at home except him, which was why the bedroom door was not closed. He was the only one there and there was no movement, so why should he close the door?
The health kettle in the living room is empty, there is no computer on the coffee table, and the clacking sound of typing that I never paid attention to before is nowhere to be found. For some reason, the whole house feels empty, and it is a very bad feeling.
In fact, it shouldn't be like this. Whether he was in school or working later, he had always been alone. When he lived in the villa before, although there were three maids in the huge house, they usually didn't disturb him quietly. It was no different from their non-existence, and he didn't think there was anything wrong.
It's only been a few months, and you're already feeling uncomfortable.
But the uncomfortable feeling was real. After sitting back in his seat, his mind could not calm down. He picked up his phone and looked at it again and again, but there were only those three words, without any extra punctuation marks. Half an hour had passed, and he finally stopped fighting with himself and made the call.
"Everything has been settled. The crew had dinner together in the evening. Everyone seemed to be doing well. I couldn't tell much else, but Director Wang is a kind person. He even introduced me to everyone, probably because I was the original author."
Shi Feiye sat on the soft sofa in the hotel, boredly looking at the film and television city looming in the darkness not far away:
"What about you? The game will be released soon. Is everything going well?"
"Good luck. Remember to call me every morning and evening. Be careful when you go out." Qin Bushu stated his request without hesitation.
This surprised Shi Feiye. She had been alone ever since her parents passed away. She had also been alone in the crew in her previous life. No one had asked her to report safety for a long time.
But on second thought, she is still the man's wife. According to common sense, they should be the closest people in the world. Although they are not real husband and wife now, they are still friends. If she wants to flatter herself, she can barely be called a relative. It is normal for the other party to be worried about her going out alone.
"Okay, I'll remember to report that I'm safe."
Shi Feiye didn't think that Qin Buju would stare at her every day. With the launch of the holographic online game these days, he might be very busy. But since the other party showed that he cared about her, she would remember his kindness.
She wanted to say something else, but she didn't know where to start. Shi Feiye wanted to hang up the phone. However, what she didn't expect was that she heard a voice from the other end of the phone: "Why, you want to hang up on me?"
Having said that, how could she hang up? "No, I was thinking of telling you something."
"Director Wang and his team are great directors, and they can't get along with an assistant screenwriter like you. You just need to be more careful when interacting with other people."
Shi Feiye didn't expect Qin Buju to become more talkative:
"These are all small matters, and you should be able to handle them with your ability. I heard that the screenwriter Hai is a man of good character and reputation. If you work hard when you have nothing to do, your career will be much easier if you can get his support. I heard that he likes poetry, so you can recall more of it when you have time."
He didn't say anything about taking care of her, nor did he ask her if she needed him to do anything, nor did he talk to her about anything else. Instead, he mentioned screenwriter Hai's preferences. The big guy didn't doubt her ability to handle things, but revealed some very useful gossip to her, which made her feel very comfortable. She didn't like others doubting their abilities, especially from outsiders.
Knowing the preferences of the superiors is only beneficial for newbies. This is truly for her own good. Shi Feiye still feels a little grateful: "Yeah, I remember."
So the topic afterwards became Qin Buju's subtle advice to her on how to do things better. These things were not the most basic interpersonal relationships but the higher-level ones about how to infiltrate the inner circle. Shi Feiye knew that he must have put in a lot of effort to get this information, so her gratitude turned into touching.
They chatted for half an hour, and when they hung up the phone, Shi Feiye felt warm in her heart. No matter what the relationship was, someone cared about you so much, thought about you, respected you, and didn't question your abilities. This was a blessing. The boss was really good to her.
The next morning, Shi Feiye got up early, sent a good morning message to Qin Buju, and went downstairs to eat. Qin Buju got up early as usual, and when he heard the notification tone, he picked up the phone and took a look. His eyes, which had originally had no emotion, became gentle, and he typed and sent "Good morning, good luck at work".
Shi Feiye came to the second floor of the hotel, which was the dining place. There were many kinds of breakfast, and the expenses were all included, so one could eat whatever he wanted without having to spend any personal money.
She picked out steamed buns, eggs and millet porridge, and also took some side dishes to make sure she could really finish them before walking towards the dining table.
He picked an empty table, put down the tray, took out all the food and put them away before he was ready to start eating.
She is quite particular about food. Her mother told her that life is all about food and clothing. She doesn’t need to pursue brand names. She just needs to buy comfortable clothes within her means, even if they don’t look good when she wears them. As for food, she has to eat it seriously and enjoy it even if it’s just porridge and small dishes.
If not for this, Qin Bu Ru would not have accepted the food she cooked so immediately. No matter how unsophisticated he was, he would not eat such food that was not presentable. After all, he had been raised in luxury, so he could just endure it when he didn't have the ability, but he would definitely not endure it if he had a little ability.
However, after taking a few bites, a figure appeared beside her. Shi Feiye swallowed the food in her mouth and looked up. It was Zhang Yixin. When he saw her looking up, he smiled at her:
"Ms. Shi, good morning. Is there anyone across from you?"
Is there any need to ask this? The other party was just asking politely. I just don't know why there are so many empty seats but why didn't they sit here? Or is it just to make some connections? But what value does she have to be made connections? She is just an assistant screenwriter.
Not knowing the other party's intention, Shi Feiye still replied: "No."
"Can I sit here?"
The position was not hers, so could she still say it without anyone saying an offensive "can't"?
"Of course. I didn't expect you to be up so early."
Zhang Yixin sat down: "When I thought about how good the script was this time, I was so excited that I couldn't sleep, so I just got up to have breakfast. I didn't expect Miss Shi to get up so early, what a coincidence."
The compliment was so skillful that Shi Feiye smiled in his heart, but he did not take it personally:
"Yes, how can the script written by Hai be bad? I am also happy, thinking that I might be able to learn a lot from Hai this time. This opportunity is really rare."
"That must be because your novel is well written. When Director Wang invited me, I was very interested and rushed to read the novel. At that time, I thought that the author of such a good novel must be an older man or woman. I didn't expect it to be a young lady like Miss Shi who is both talented and beautiful."
Zhang Yixin winked at Shi Feiye and said, "Miss, I have some questions about the role. Can I ask you?"
It turned out to be about the role, so Shi Feiye would not refuse: "Of course, but screenwriter Hai has a very accurate grasp of the character's personality and life trajectory. I can only give you suggestions, which may not be accurate. You can just refer to them, but still follow screenwriter Hai's."
"I just felt that the part about the hero's failure was a bit exaggerated, especially the part where he begged on the street. Wasn't it a bit exaggerated? After all, he is a prince, how could he lose face?"
Shi Feiye's perception of Zhang Yixin improved a bit. She felt that actors who could seriously study their roles were good. The part where the male lead begged did look a bit exaggerated, but it was necessary, so she explained to Zhang Yixin:
"This part is actually very necessary. The hero was born a prince. Although he has been fighting with his brothers and seems to have a hard time, he does not particularly understand the people's sentiments. It is this experience of falling to the bottom after failure that makes him truly realize the difficulties of the people."
Seeing that Zhang Yixin was listening attentively, Shi Feiye continued:
"Only by experiencing the hardships of people's lives and seeing the good and evil in the hearts of the lowest class of people can one broaden his horizons, realize how shallow he was in the past, and truly grow up. It is also because of this that he takes the heroine's kindness seriously and has more empathy, which is why the heroine didn't bring herself to kill him in the end, and the two of them can support each other and move on. After all, in this world, what can truly move people's hearts is the great love for the world."
Zhang Yixin nodded. He knew this little bit, but he was just looking for an excuse to talk to Shi Feiye:
"Now that you put it that way, I understand. It seems like this part is really hard to act. It's quite difficult to grasp the emotions. However, I will try my best not to waste such a good story."
