13 Chapter Thirteen
◎The Heart of a Watermelon Eater◎
Chapter 13
Although she couldn't sleep at night because of hunger, Yu Keke was soon coaxed to sleep by the system while reading the names of dishes.
She had no idea that someone was tossing and turning and unable to sleep until midnight because of her tossing and turning.
When she woke up the next day, she got up with a melancholy feeling, and she didn't dare to eat like a chicken pecking at rice like she did yesterday.
However, hard work really pays off. This time, when filming the scenes that we had filmed last night, it basically didn't take more than two times, and it was finished smoothly.
The crew was surprised yesterday that Yu Keke didn't drag her feet, and they didn't expect that she had made obvious progress today. They couldn't help but be very surprised, and at the same time, they also improved their favorability towards her.
No matter what, it was a good thing for them to be able to shoot so smoothly. Therefore, even the serious Director Zhou couldn't help but smile a little and asked, "Did you practice your lines after you went back last night?"
Yu Keke nodded with a smile: "Sister Chu Xue took me and Li Xinrui to review the script last night and taught me a lot."
Li Xinrui also nodded quickly.
Director Zhou looked at Chu Xue in surprise, and encouraged: "It's great that you are willing to work hard in this area. It's rare that Teacher Chu is willing to teach, so you must work hard."
Chu Xue said lightly: "They are willing to work hard, and they have talent, so they can get it right away."
Lu Chong also smiled: "If I had known earlier, I would have followed them. Now it feels like you all have a very tacit understanding. In this scene, I am the only one who is holding back."
Chu Xue: "I will act with them tonight, do you want to come?"
Lu Chong paused, his eyes visibly lit up, but he still said seriously: "Will it trouble you?"
"It's nothing for me." Chu Xue looked at Yu Keke, "Keke, Xinrui, what do you think?"
Yu Keke and Li Xinrui certainly had no objections, so it was decided.
Seeing the actors working so hard, Director Zhou was relieved. He turned his head and said to his old partner, the assistant director, "I think the atmosphere on the set is good. I think I can save a lot of trouble this time. I hope it can be like this in the future."
The atmosphere on the set was not so harmonious in previous filmings. There were many things like showing off, fighting for status, and quarreling. Even though Director Zhou hated to bother with these things, he had no choice.
I thought it would be the same this time, but I didn't expect to get an unexpected surprise.
"Yeah, I was worried yesterday afternoon that Miss Yu's scenes were not good enough. What if she didn't want to continue filming and got angry and left?"
Knowing that he was referring to Yu Keke, the assistant director glanced at her calmly and smiled in agreement: "I didn't expect it to be so smooth. I was relieved."
Director Zhou patted his shoulder in understanding: "Thank you for your hard work."
Yu Keke seemed to be discussing the next scenes with Chu Xue, but her eyes were actually paying attention to this.
After seeing this scene, she couldn't help but suddenly have a question in her mind: [Speaking of which, it seems that Director Zhou is a pretty good person. Does he know the unspoken rules of the assistant director? ]
[Of course he doesn't know. ] The system explained, [The assistant director and he have been partners for many years. Director Zhou trusts him very much, so he has always given him the right to choose roles other than the main roles. 】
【I said, it doesn't look like it. 】 Yu Keke sighed twice, 【I'm afraid Director Zhou didn't expect that the assistant director would use his trust to lure the artists into doing such a deal and let them accept the unspoken rules in exchange for unimportant roles. 】
Suddenly she forgave Director Zhou for not letting her eat meat. In terms of misery, she really can't be ranked.
Director Zhou suddenly felt a chill on his back:?
When the shooting ended that day, several people returned to the hotel and went to the snow-storing room to rehearse as agreed in the morning.
By the time they finished rehearsing, it was already very late.
After saying goodbye to them, Yu Keke suddenly received a call from an unknown number. After the call was connected, a warm and polite female voice came from the other end: "Hello, is this Ms. Yu?"
Yu Keke: "Yes, who are you?"
"I am the manager of Yu Weixuan Restaurant, and the midnight snack you ordered has arrived. Because the front desk needs to confirm your identity, we are now at the entrance of the hotel, and you need to explain the situation to the front desk."
Although the tone on the other end was very polite, Yu Keke still didn't understand what was going on after listening to her. Question marks popped up in her head: [What's going on, when did I order the midnight snack? Isn't delivery not allowed around here? ]
If delivery was allowed, would she have been so hungry last night?
The system seemed to check: [… Strange, Yu Weixuan is a high-end star-rated restaurant, dozens of kilometers away from the hotel, and they never deliver food.]
Yu Keke: [So there is no way to find out who made the reservation for me?]
System: [They must know who it is, just ask them and you will know. But they have the financial resources to let the manager come here, maybe they are the villains.]
[?] Yu Keke's first reaction was that it was impossible, and he rolled his eyes speechlessly, [Wake up, have you seen this blackened strip that is comparable to a pollution source, are you dreaming?]
System: [Then who else can it be, Ji Linghan?]
Yu Keke: [… Don't tell ghost stories late at night. Although she didn't understand the situation
yet, since the people from Yu Weixuan had already arrived at the door, it would be bad to keep her waiting, so she hurriedly said, "Sorry, I didn't understand the situation for a moment, please wait a moment."
The attitude of the person on the other end was very considerate: "It's okay, we can bring it up."
"No, no," Yu Keke declined solemnly, "I'd better go down. I'm in the elevator now."
If she let them bring it up, it would definitely disturb the people in other rooms. Wouldn't everyone know that she was eating takeout?
There seemed to be hesitation for a moment, but finally she politely agreed: "Okay, thank you then."
When Yu Keke came down, she saw the manager of Yu Weixuan coming up to her with a polite and enthusiastic smile: "Ms. Yu, this is your midnight snack."
Yu Keke took it and asked, "Can I know who ordered it?"
The manager was stunned for a moment, as if surprised that she didn't know this, but he quickly reacted and said with a smile: "Mr. Ji ordered it for you. He must have known that you are having a hard time here and it is not convenient for you to order takeout, so he specially asked us to come over." Perhaps she
was worried that she would not accept it, so she explained: "The midnight snack is specially matched by our chef according to nutritional elements. It is delicious, healthy and not high in calories. You can eat it with confidence."
... Mr. Ji, which Mr. Ji?
Yu Keke pondered for a moment and asked tentatively: [So, it should be Ji Jingye, right?]
System: [I think so too. With the status that Ji Linghan has shown now, there is no way that the manager of Yu Weixuan would be willing to be dozens of kilometers away and be responsible for delivering midnight snacks to you, right?]
Yu Keke: [Then the question is, why did he suddenly order midnight snacks for me, and knew that there was no delivery nearby?]
[It could be——]
The system was about to analyze it rationally with her, but as soon as the words started, Yu Keke sighed: [It shows that he has me in his heart.]
The system slowly typed a question mark: [……?]
[What did I say, cultivating feelings with him for a whole morning really worked. 】Yu Keke's logic is self-consistent and well-reasoned. [This fully proves that my strategy is correct. You see, we have only been together for a morning, and he pays so much attention to me. 】
The system always feels that something is wrong: [But this is too coincidental——]
Yu Keke: [He even knows that I am tired of filming, there is no takeout nearby, and I can't eat or sleep well, so he specially asked the people from Yu Weixuan to send me midnight snacks. He is a good person. 】
System: [... I think you are just so hungry that you are bribed by the midnight snacks. 】
Yu Keke is calm: [Then tell me whether it is logical or not. 】
System: [Although...but...]
"By the way, this is my contact information." Thinking of something, the manager of Yu Weixuan handed over the business card, "I will be responsible for your food delivery service for a period of time. In addition to midnight snacks, lunch and dinner are also included."
"So if Ms. Yu wants to eat anything, you can order in advance, and it will be convenient for us to deliver it."
"Okay." Yu Keke took it and thanked sincerely, "Thank you for your hard work, delivering it from such a far distance."
"You're welcome." The manager said with a smile, "After all, in order to contract your delivery service during this period, Mr. Ji paid us more than three times the salary. I don't think it's hard work."
Yu Keke confirmed: "So it was Ji Jingye who ordered the delivery service?"
The manager's smile froze slightly, and he glanced at her subconsciously, with a strange look, as if asking: Are there other Mr. Ji?
- How many Mr. Ji do you have?
"… Sorry, I didn't make it clear. It was Mr. Ji Jingye." After she came to her senses, she coughed lightly, "Then we won't bother you. Have a good meal."
After watching the people from Yu Weixuan leave, Yu Keke took her own takeaway and was about to get on the elevator stealthily when she heard the system say, "You'd better not get on the elevator now. You'll open the door and run into Lady No. 4."
Yu Keke paused, turned around and walked towards the stairwell, asking curiously as she went upstairs, "What is Lady No. 4 doing so late at night?"
System: "She wants to knock on Lu Chong's door."
Yu Keke: !!!
Her greedy heart suddenly became restless.
