Chapter 128 There are many workers outside the makeup room...

There were quite a few staff members outside the dressing room. Zhuang Qibei greeted Shen Que so enthusiastically. Shen Que looked at him a few times and spoke with a little indifference.

"I'm sorry, we don't seem to know each other."

Shen Que only spent a short time in the company after signing the contract, and he hardly knew the company's artists. Zhuang Qibei only signed the contract later, and there was no chance for them to meet, so he looks very unfamiliar now.

The smile on Zhuang Qibei's face froze. Shen Que was as annoying as his friend.

"We didn't know each other before, but now we do. We are all from the same company, so we should take care of each other."

"Um."

Shen Que responded without denying Zhuang Qibei's meaning. It is normal for a company to take care of each other.

Xu Qingye looked at the two people having such an awkward conversation and shook his head speechlessly.

"Let's have a drink. We've finished filming and we're leaving now. We won't disturb you. Go ahead and do your work. We'll talk later."

Xu Qingye stepped forward and handed Zhuang Qibei a cup of coffee. Zhuang Qibei looked at him and thanked him.

"See you later then."

Zhuang Qibei waved his hand and walked into the dressing room. His expression changed instantly as he entered the room.

"He thinks he is something, just because he won the Best Actor award, he is so arrogant."

"Speak softly. There are people everywhere. Don't let anyone hear you."

The assistant spoke up and reminded that Zhuang Qibei signed under Xiao Yang, but Xiao Yang was mainly responsible for Xu Hong. Usually only the assistant followed him. The assistant took orders directly from Xiao Yang and followed Zhuang Qibei mainly to keep an eye on him.

Zhuang Qibei grew up in the world of fame and fortune and picked up many bad habits. He usually pretends to be well-behaved, but in private he is not a good person.

Xiao Yang understood the temperament of people like him very well, so he specially arranged someone to look after him, hoping that he would not cause trouble.

"What's wrong with what I said? Look at how arrogant he is. He has no respect for me at all. I've been in the industry for so many years, he should at least call me a senior."

"Don't forget what we are here for. How can you continue to work like this?"

The assistant's tone became serious and Zhuang Qibei fell silent. He and Shen Que were both supporting roles, but Shen Que's role was much more outstanding than his and he had relatively more screen time.

Shen was chosen from the very beginning, and he was able to join the team by using some connections, which made him very unhappy.

Zhuang Qibei thinks that his acting skills are not worse than Shen Que's. He started filming at the age of five, so how could he be worse than a newcomer? Shen Que has only filmed one drama in total, and he got lucky enough to win an award. That's how he is praised in the circle and in the company. Shen Que's posters are everywhere, while he doesn't even have a stand.

"I understand. I'll pay attention."

Zhuang Qibei sighed. When you are under someone's roof, you have to bow your head. He could only endure it for now and wait until he has established a firm foothold in Honor Films.

On the other side, Shen Que and his group were walking out, and Shen Que turned to look at Xu Qingye.

"Who is that Zhuang Qibei?"

"An artist who debuted as a child star just signed Rongyao this year. Who is his agent?"

Xu Qingye didn't pay much attention to it. Now he turned to look at Zhao Wen. Zhao Wen rolled her eyes. The question was passed back and forth. Why didn't Shen Que just ask her directly?

"He's signed with Xiao Yang, but Xiao Yang doesn't have time to look after him, so he sent an assistant to take care of him. This drama was also Xiao Yang's way of getting him in. The company didn't think highly of him, but they signed him because of his good resume and good popularity. As you know, our company's main battlefield is in the movie industry, and it's not easy for Zhuang Qibei to switch to the movie industry. He has acted in too many TV series, and the feeling of filming a movie is different from that of filming a TV series. I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to adapt in a short time."

Zhao Wen told him everything he knew. Xu Qingye had asked him about Zhuang Qibei before, and he wondered if there was any grudge between them.

"You two seem to be familiar with each other? Do you know each other?"

Zhao Wen glanced at Xu Qingye with some gossip in her mind.

"I don't know him. I met him downstairs at Glory Films last time. He recognized me as Shen Que's friend and seemed to be very concerned about Shen Que."

Xu Qingye shook his head. Zhuang Qibei's target was Shen Que. Although he didn't know what he was going to do, he probably regarded Shen Que as an imaginary enemy.

"Boring."

Shen Que complained that he was not interested in Zhuang Qibei and did not want to make friends in the crew. Zhuang Qibei had a rather strange personality and it was difficult for ordinary people to become friends with him. He also did not want to waste too much time socializing for the sake of so-called colleagues.

There wasn't much to do today. After taking the makeup photos and getting the notice, I could go back. As soon as Xu Qingye got into the car, Yi He called.

"Boss, come back quickly, there's a big client."

"What big client?"

Xu Qingye was a little confused. Their company's business was small, so how come there were still big customers coming to them? What could they provide for big customers? It seemed like they could do nothing.

"My brother."

Xu Qingye was speechless after hearing what Yi He said.

"Brother, you just need to receive him. What kind of business does he want to do? Buy promotions for his girlfriend? Considering his girlfriend's status, it seems that we don't need to do anything more."

"It's a bit complicated and I can't explain it in a few words. I'll tell you when you come back. I'm a little confused."

The words were on the tip of Yi He's tongue, but he swallowed them after thinking for a moment. It would be hard to explain clearly over the phone, so it would be better to talk in person.

"Got it. I'll be back tomorrow."

Xu Qingye looked at the time. It was too late to go back at this time today. He didn't want to be on the road late at night.

"Okay, I'll wait for you."

Yi He hung up the phone. Xu Qingye turned to look at Shen Que. Before he could say anything, Shen Que reached out and rubbed his hair.

"Go do whatever you want, don't worry about me."

"Well, you'll only be shooting for a month anyway, so I should be done by then."

Xu Qingye nodded and booked the train ticket.

***

I haven't been back to the studio for a long time. Everyone is working very hard. It doesn't seem to matter whether he is there or not. The studio has changed several employees. The career of marketing account is a bit unstable, and the staff turnover is relatively high. Many people had illusions about the career of marketing account at the beginning, but when they really started working, they found that marketing account is just a working horse, not as interesting as they imagined. Those who cannot accept this gap naturally leave early.

As soon as Xu Qingye came back, Yi He immediately took him to the office.

"What's going on? Why are you so secretive?"

"Hey, my brother wants to marry Qiao Ran."

Yi He sat down, sighed, and then repeated his brother's request.

Yi An wants to create a more positive image for Qiao Ran so that his parents can accept Qiao Ran.

As a public figure, Qiao Ran's reputation has both good and bad. Yi An has already asked someone to deal with some of the more negative ones, but if you search, you can still find some of them, especially Qiao Ran's previous relationship which was quite sensational, and a lot of information can be found on the Internet. Yi An hopes to deal with this information as well and try to keep only the positive comments about Qiao Ran.

"Your brother's request is really a bit embarrassing. The Internet has memory. It's not that if you delete it, no one will know about it. Besides, how can I delete all the messages?"

Xu Qingye shook his head after hearing this. This was not a job he was capable of. He did have a plan to create an image of truth, kindness and beauty, but it was nothing more than establishing a persona of a charitable beauty.

But character settings are the easiest to break down. They don't even know what kind of person Qiao Ran is, so how can they make a plan?

"I've told him all this, and he said that we just need to suppress it." Yi He threw his hands together helplessly. He turned on the monitor in the office and threw a document on it.

"These are all charity activities my brother did in Qiao Ran's name. Various donation records can be used. My brother also prepared a lot of other things. I was stunned."

Yi He opened them one by one for Xu Qingye, and Xu Qingye's brows furrowed as he read them.

"Your brother is really in love, but I feel it's weird. Why does your brother have to create these suspenseful characters? Your parents are not fools, can't they see this?"

"I don't think my parents are stupid. On the contrary, they are very smart. But my brother is not stupid either. He must have his reasons for doing this."

Xu Qingye searched Qiao Ran's name, and the first thing that came up was her complicated love story with her ex-boyfriend, in which she fell in love, broke up, quarreled, reconciled, and broke up again.

Then there was the news that Qiao Ran was photographed smoking on the street and then apologized. These were all small matters, but they always gave people a bad impression.

Qiao Ran debuted early, but stopped going to school after graduating from high school. He has been filming movies all the time. His acting career has been smooth, but he doesn't seem to have a good personality.

"Is your brother really going to marry Qiao Ran? Her resume is more impressive than I thought."

Qiao Ran is not a bad person. On the contrary, she is a nice person. She is kind, hardworking and beautiful. However, she has many shortcomings and is a rather complicated person.

Qiao Ran's original family was not good. Her father was a gambler and always squeezed her money. Her mother ignored her after she remarried. Her stepmother gave birth to a younger brother, and she also had to take care of his affairs. In short, Qiao Ran was a very complicated woman.

"I asked him this question last time, and he nodded very firmly. He said he knew everything about Qiao Ran. His mind told him to break up, but he wanted to hold on to her tightly emotionally. He thought about it for a long time and finally decided to get married."

"This is a very difficult matter. Qiao Ran has been in the industry for too long, and everyone's impression of her is already deeply ingrained. Just asking around will reveal the truth, and it's completely useless."

"My brother probably doesn't want to confront my parents openly. I don't know what he wants to do."

Yi He was sitting at the table, feeling a little annoyed. Xu Qingye turned his head to look at him, then reached out and pulled him down.

While the two were thinking about this, there was a knock on the door.

"Boss, someone's looking for you."

Cao Muan knocked twice and opened the door. She glanced at the two of them and pointed in the direction of the door. Xu Qingye looked outside and saw Qiao Ran walking over not far away wearing sunglasses and a mask.

"Hello, sister-in-law."

Yi He waved and greeted him, and Qiao Ran couldn't help laughing when he looked at him.

"Don't call me that. It's embarrassing. Come sit down and let's talk."

Qiao Ran reached out and took off her sunglasses, pointing to the sofa beside her. She had a strong aura, and as soon as she came in, she had a feeling that she was in control of the whole place. Xu Qingye and Yi He's aura suddenly weakened, and they sat down on the sofa obediently like guests.
