“That doesn’t matter. Being a food blogger can be a side job. Look, once you become a world-renowned photographer, you can travel everywhere and share the food of the places you’ve been with your fans.” Lu Wanzheng finished the last bite of fried noodles, chewed for a long time before swallowing, picked up the remaining half glass of milk, and drank it as she spoke.
Xiao Qifeng was also present. Xiao Hua became more reserved when speaking to Lu Wanzheng, "Sister Wanzheng, please don't joke with me. I'm not even a photographer yet."
Seeing that Lu Wanzheng had finished her milk and placed her empty bowl on the table, Xiao Qifeng asked, "Are you full?"
Lu Wanzheng nodded. She had eaten quite a bit for breakfast. "If you've eaten well, go to work. Don't wait for us. The film crew is near the hotel."
She assumed that Xiao Qifeng was getting impatient, which was why he asked her if she was full. Usually, this question would be followed by "If you're full, let's go."
If Xiao Qifeng knew what Lu Wanzheng was thinking at this moment, he would definitely give her a good whack on the head. He actually just wanted to accompany Lu Wanzheng to the film set. He had looked up the film set and read the script. The male lead was Zhong Yunyue. Seeing Lu Wanzheng and Zhong Yunyue playing a couple made him feel somewhat uncomfortable.
but……
Xiao Qifeng glanced at Xiao Hua, who was still diligently eating her breakfast across from him. She ate very slowly, taking small bites, probably afraid that her eating would be too uncouth and bring shame upon Lu Wanzheng. He figured it would be a while before she got to the film set, and if he stayed any longer, the girl would probably eat even slower.
In addition, his appearance yesterday was already quite conspicuous. With a big name like Zhong Yunyue in the crew, there are bound to be a lot of paparazzi and the media will be paying a lot of attention to the actors. If he were to accompany Lu Wanzheng to the set at this time, the headlines tomorrow would probably be about the two of them.
Although the crew members wouldn't say anything about Lu Wanzheng openly, that didn't mean they wouldn't say bad things behind her back. People's words can be a fearsome thing, and he didn't want his girl to be looked down upon behind her back.
"Then I'll be going now. Call me if you need anything. Send me a message beforehand if you're coming back for dinner tonight or not."
Xiao Qifeng stood up, straightened his long coat, and exuded a somewhat nonchalant air. He collected all the dishes and utensils that Lu Wanzheng and he had finished eating, placed them on a tray, and took them away.
Although the hotel breakfast is self-service, guests are still required to clear their dishes and take them to the designated dish collection area in the corner.
Without the unfamiliar people around, Xiaohua was finally able to eat her breakfast freely. She ate even more happily than before, quickly finishing her breakfast with a couple of bites of noodles and a sip of soup.
"Burp~" Every burp tasted like meat broth. "Sister Wanzheng, it tastes really good, and it's delicious. You can try it tomorrow."
"Okay, but tomorrow hasn't come yet, let's get through today first, pack our things, and go." Lu Wanzheng gestured for Xiaohua to hand her the bag next to her, as Xiaohua needed to carry a tray and didn't have her hands to hold the bag.
Lu Wanzheng waited for Xiaohua at the restaurant entrance with her bag, waiting for Xiaohua to put her things down and come to find her.
The two walked to the film set. Just as Lu Wanzheng had said, the film set was very close to the hotel. They walked for seven or eight minutes and then saw the equipment the film set had prepared.
Zhong Yunyue hadn't stayed at the hotel arranged by the film crew last night, and had just arrived. A silver-white RV was parked by the roadside, and Zhong Yunyue got out of the vehicle.
"He really is a movie star. He even has a motorhome following him when he goes out to film. He can stay in the motorhome when he rests. It's so comfortable." Xiao Hua hadn't noticed Zhong Yunyue before. She followed Lu Wanzheng's gaze and saw him. "Although Movie Star Zhong is very handsome, Sister Wanzheng, do you have to keep staring at him?"
She noticed that Lu Wanzheng's eyes were constantly looking in the direction of the movie star Zhong, and felt that it wasn't right for her to look like that. Suddenly, a topic popped into her mind: #A certain actress with the surname L stared at the movie star on set, suspected of having fallen for someone else#. This topic immediately made Xiao Hua jump, and she quickly spoke up to stop Lu Wanzheng, trying to make her look away.
Upon hearing this, Lu Wanzheng turned her head and half-lifted her eyes to look at her. Her amber eyes were filled with helplessness. What was this girl thinking all day long? She gently flicked Xiaohua's forehead with her index finger. "What do you think of that RV behind Brother Yue? Why don't we get one too?"
Xiao Hua touched her forehead, which didn't hurt. "So you were looking at Zhong Yingdi's RV the whole time?"
"What kind of look is that? Do you think I'm looking at Brother Yue? Do you need me to make an appointment with an ophthalmologist for you?"
"No need, no need."
"So you still haven't answered me. What do you think of this RV? Should we get one too?"
Lu Wanzheng spotted the RV from afar. Having your own RV while filming on set is indeed very convenient. After a short day, you can rest in the RV, and since it belongs to you, you don't have to share with others, making it more private.
Xiao Hua looked at Zhong Yingdi's RV; it was quite large, but she didn't know the interior layout. However…
"Although the RV is very nice and comfortable, I think our company's nanny van is also quite good. RVs are really expensive. Even if you are not short of money, you don't need to waste money on this. How should I put it, this RV is something that is dispensable for us."
In Xiao Hua's opinion, Lu Wanzheng probably just saw that Zhong Yingdi's RV looked nice and made an impulsive purchase, which is why she suddenly had the idea to get an RV. As her most considerate assistant, she naturally had to stop Lu Wanzheng's impulsive spending.
“There’s a bed in the RV, so you can rest there at noon.” Lu Wanzheng wanted to try and gain Xiaohua’s approval so that she wouldn’t feel so burdened about buying the RV.
Xiao Hua sighed and pulled Lu Wanzheng toward the film crew, hoping to avoid seeing it. However, she glanced at the RV in the crowd, which sparked Lu Wanzheng's interest. "Our van doesn't have a bed, but the seats are adjustable, so you can use it as a bed. More importantly, our seats have massage functions. Why go to all this trouble? If you need it, I'll have the driver bring our van over. You'll see it in an hour at most."
After Xiao Hua said that, Lu Wanzheng suddenly felt a sense of agreement. She felt that what Xiao Hua said made a lot of sense. The nanny van was more flexible than the RV. She looked back at the silver RV on the side of the road, feeling a little reluctant. The reason she wanted to buy an RV was simply because she thought it was very cool.
After Xiaohua said that, she is no longer very enthusiastic about RVs. For her, the cost-effectiveness of RVs is indeed not as good as that of a nanny van.
"Alright, alright, let's not talk about this anymore," Lu Wanzheng walked towards the film crew's dressing room, which was a small, temporary shed completely outdoors.
The first scene today is a scene between Lu Wanzheng and Zhong Yunyue at the police station. Of course, the crew couldn't actually film in a police station, so they found a similar place with a layout that referenced the police station.
Lu Wanzheng finished her makeup, took the police uniform provided by the costume department—the uniform she wore for her costume fitting photos yesterday—and went to the changing room. When she came out, she was wearing the police uniform and a police hat, looking like a policewoman.
This scene depicts the capture of the murderer in the first case, and the interrogation of her by the male and female leads.
Zhong Yunyue stood in the interrogation room in his police uniform, with Xiang Yan talking to him beside him. A girl sat in front of them; she was the person they were going to interrogate.
Hearing the door open, Xiang Yan turned around and saw Lu Wanzheng. He greeted her with a smile, "Now that everyone's here, let's begin."
Lu Wanzheng and Zhong Yunyue nodded at the same time.
Xiang Yan walked to a corner, where photographers from all directions were already ready.
After the announcement "Scene 36, Shot 1, Action!", the actual filming began. Lu Wanzheng immediately got into character, and her eyes became enigmatic as she stood behind Zhong Yunyue.
A desk lamp sat on the table in the interrogation room, its light extremely glaring.
The perpetrator in this case was a girl named Jin Baochuan who had suffered from school bullying. She must have been tormented for so long that she finally learned to fight back.
Wei Wan leaned against the wall of the interrogation room, listening to Xia Zijin's questioning, listening to him ask about the reasons for the matter, and after hearing that he hadn't asked the question he wanted, she directly interrupted Jin Baochuan's rambling.
"Where did you get your anesthetic drugs? Didn't you know they were contraband? Also, there's a problem with the surveillance video. Which of you two did it?" Before arresting Jin Baochuan, the police also arrested another suspect.
Wei Wan walked directly to the table, slammed her hand on it, and leaned forward—an aggressive move.
As expected, Jin Baochuan was so frightened that she instinctively backed away, her whole body trembling.
Her gaze began to wander, and her emotions started to become unstable.
Xia Zijin sat in the chair, looked up, and gazed at Wei Wan with a puzzled expression. Wei Wan seemed unfamiliar to him at this moment. They hadn't known each other for very long, but in their few interactions, Wei Wan had always seemed like a gentle, delicate girl. She was a completely different person now, slamming her hand on the table and questioning the murderer.
The glaring lights shone on Jin Baochuan's face. The tense atmosphere and high-pressure environment overwhelmed her, and she finally confessed.
“It was King. King gave it to me. He said to go ahead and do what I want to do, and he would take care of the rest.” Jin Baochuan’s emotions became increasingly unstable. She felt as if she were in an abyss, surrounded by darkness. She began to panic, broke out in a sweat, and started struggling with her handcuffed hands, as if she were enduring great psychological torment.
Upon hearing Jin Baochuan's words, Wei Wan and Xia Zijin exchanged glances for two seconds. In that short time, they communicated through their eyes, indicating that there was someone else behind this.
Wei Wan quickly stopped making eye contact with Xia Zijin and continued to ask Jin Baochuan, "Who is he? Is he male or female? How old is he? What are his physical characteristics?"
"I don't know, I don't know," Jin Baochuan's spirit seemed to have been completely broken. She buried her head in the chair and refused to look at anyone. If she hadn't been handcuffed and restrained by the seat, she would probably be hiding in a corner with her head in her hands by now.
This was probably the first time Wei Wan had acted impulsively in front of so many people. She stepped forward and grabbed Jin Baochuan's shoulders tightly, repeatedly pressing her for answers, "Tell me, who is he?"
But what she received in response was Jin Baochuan's nonsensical and incoherent ramblings.
Wei Wan released her and angrily walked out of the interrogation room. Outside the door, she clenched her fist and slammed it against the wall. Damn it, it was hypnosis. To prevent themselves from being exposed, hypnotists would set a switch for the hypnotized person, and this switch was very likely the sentence Jin Baochuan had just said.
Jin Baochuan had run out of information. Xia Zijin stood up from his chair and walked out of the interrogation room. As soon as he stepped out, he saw Wei Wan leaning against the wall at the door.
Hearing the door open, she looked over and met Xia Zijin's probing gaze. She remained calm and said, "I didn't scare you just now, did I?" She had returned to her usual self, completely different from how she had been in the interrogation room, as if she had become a different person.
Xia Zijin didn't speak, still staring at Wei Wan. How could Wei Wan stand being looked at like that? She immediately surrendered, looking at the floor to hide the guilt in her eyes. "The questions you asked just now were repetitive and didn't get to the point, which is why I spoke up. A girl like you has no experience. Your 'boiling frog in lukewarm water' approach didn't work at all. Look, I scared you so much that you asked something terrible."
This time, Xia Zijin finally reacted. "Heh," he sneered, "You got some useful information, but you scared them so much that we won't be able to get any more information out of them."
He understood what the girl meant. Her behavior just now was just an act to scare the murderer; it wasn't her true self.
Xia Zijin remained skeptical of her on this point.
He didn't pursue the issue of Wei Wan. Regarding the murderer, he needed to find an expert to assess her mental state. Moreover, he felt that the young girl inside was not in a good condition. Logically speaking, she shouldn't have been so frightened that she became mentally unstable.
Let's go.
Where to?
"I'll treat you to dinner. We owe you a lot this time. You pointed out the problem with the video, and we almost lost our trail. Without your help, it would have taken us a long time to catch the culprit." Xia Zijin walked towards the other end of the corridor.
Wei Wan called out to her retreating figure, "Can I invite Su Xia along?" Su Xia was her good friend at the police station.
"what ever."
Wei Wan caught up with him, preparing to take out her phone, "Where should we go to eat?"
"Police station canteen."
Upon hearing this, she paused, her hand reaching into her pocket for her phone. What good food could the police station cafeteria possibly have? She had thought Xia Zijin would treat her to a lavish meal; she had been overthinking it.
At the same time, she walked behind him and mouthed three words to his back: "You stingy guy."
