Chapter 202: The vest will be removed sooner or later (fourth update)
Ye Ran raised an eyebrow: "So, you will attend?"
"..." Zhan Feng choked and wanted to pick up the clothes hanger at the door and swing it over.
He glared at Ye Ran fiercely, "I'm not qualified to participate!"
Ye Ran: "Then why are you so excited?"
"You illiterate person, you know nothing!" Zhan Feng gave him the middle finger. "BAC is a grand event in the field of chemistry. Every exchange meeting will be live or rebroadcast. Then I can see my idol!"
Ruan Qi, who had been listening, twitched her eyebrows and asked, "Who is your idol..."
Zhan Feng: "Professor Carl Smith of Toronto University! The last winner of the Fili Prize in Chemistry!"
"..." Ruan Qi looked at him with complicated emotions.
Zhan Feng continued chattering, mocking Ye Ran mercilessly while explaining to him how handsome and knowledgeable Professor Carl Smith was.
Ruan Qi's head hurt from his noise, so she took her phone and left the dressing room, hiding in the small warehouse next to it.
The little girl breathed a sigh of relief as her ears were finally quiet.
She slowly opened her phone, and the latest email in her email mailbox appeared on the screen -
Dear Miss Seven:
We sincerely invite you to attend the 13th BAC Academic Exchange Conference. We are looking forward to your arrival at the University of Toronto.
Signature: BAC Sponsoring Association.
Ruan Qi stared at the invitation letter for a while, and her phone suddenly vibrated. It was a WeChat message from Cao Zhixing, the dean of the Imperial University's School of Ordnance Engineering.
[Cao Zhixing: Master, have you received the invitation?]
Ruan Qi slowly replied with a "hmm".
The next second, Cao Zhixing called.
"Master, are you going?"
Ruan Qi hesitated for a moment, and before she could utter the word "not going" she heard Cao Zhixing say, "Old Smith called me. He said you haven't been back to Toronto University in two years. If you don't go back, he'll expose your celebrity status in China to the academic community!"
"..." Ruan Qi had a string of question marks floating above her head, and she puffed out her cheeks in anger. "Is he stupid? If I agree to participate in the BAC, and it's broadcast live around the world, how is that any different from exposure?"
Cao Zhixing: “…” This old man might really be a little stupid.
"Then Master, have you decided not to go?"
Ruan Qi: "I haven't decided yet. The exchange meeting is on November 1st, and I'm worried the crew won't be able to leave."
Cao Zhixing: "..."
You might be the first person to turn down a BAC meeting in order to film a movie.
He rubbed his brows with a headache. "Master, I know you don't like to be in the spotlight. But since you've already entered the entertainment industry, it's only a matter of time before your identity is exposed. Now you have your status as a graduate student at Imperial University to protect you, but what about the future? You can't just not attend any exchange meetings, right?"
“…” The little girl had nothing to refute.
Feeling the silence on the other end of the phone, Cao Zhixing sighed helplessly.
"There's still a month until the exchange meeting. Master, please think about it. If you really don't want to go, then we won't go. You said you'd agree, too. Being a public figure is so inconvenient. Why would you run around in the entertainment industry for no reason?"
Of course it’s to survive!
Ruan Qi muttered in her heart, but said seriously:
"You mortals will never understand the aspirations of this fairy! Humph!"
The little fairy hung up the phone angrily.
Cao Zhixing’s WeChat message followed soon after.
Cao Zhixing: Fairy Master, there are some technical issues with the blueprint you gave me last time. Can you come back when you have time? [Send you a lollipop.jpg]
It's Xiao Qi: I've been doing all the night scenes these days. [Our little fairy feeds on the dew.jpg]
Cao Zhixing: That's no problem. As long as you're not tired, I can pick you up anytime.
It's Xiao Qi: "Then let's do it tomorrow. We can finish filming earlier tomorrow. I'll call you then."
…
After agreeing with Cao Zhixing on the time to return to the Imperial University, Ruan Qi went to the dressing room.
When she finished putting on her makeup and returned to the set, she saw Lu Jiayao surrounding Zhan Rong, laughing uncontrollably.
Zhan Feng, who was standing next to Zhan Rong, looked impatient. His eyes darted around and happened to bump into the little girl who had just finished putting on makeup.
"Wow! Ruan Qi, you're so beautiful!" He exclaimed sincerely, astonished. "You're worthy of playing Madam Yu!"
Lu Jiayao, who was flirting with Zhan Rong, suddenly turned pale.
Zhan Feng didn't notice Lu Jiayao's expression and waved happily to Ruan Qi.
Ruan Qi looked at the silly boy whose mind only thought about chemistry, sighed tiredly, and walked over slowly, holding up the hem of her skirt.
"Brother Zhanrong, Sister Lu." She greeted them.
Zhan Rong looked her over with a smile and nodded: "She is indeed beautiful. She is worthy of being the most beautiful girl in the crew."
Ruan Qi smiled sheepishly, her peach blossom eyes curved into small crescents.
A hint of darkness flashed across Lu Jiayao's eyes as she stood by.
She glanced at Ruan Qi sinisterly, a hypocritical smile on her delicately made-up face, "Our crew is all of the most beautiful." As she spoke, she nudged Zhan Rong's arm affectionately, "Brother Zhan Rong, don't you agree?"
Zhan Rong didn't reply.
He smiled politely and moved his body inconspicuously towards Zhan Feng.
"Work should be starting soon," he said. "Director Wu was looking for me just now. I'll go check it out first."
After saying that, he swung his long legs and left quickly.
Zhan Feng looked at his cousin's slightly flustered back, and the corner of his mouth twitched.
He glanced at Lu Jiayao, whose face had turned black, and winked at Ruan Qi.
Let’s go!
What are you waiting for?
What if I don’t leave now and get scammed by a green tea bitch?
Ruan Qi looked at Zhan Feng's eyes that were about to pop out, her eyelids twitched, and she nodded silently.
The two people left as if escaping.
When Lu Jiayao saw this scene, the smile on her face disappeared and a gloomy look appeared in her eyes.
…
The filming time passed quickly and it was night in the blink of an eye.
The autumn rain continued to fall, and it was showing signs of getting heavier. Wu Huai discussed with the crew and decided to move several late-night rain scenes to tonight.
Ruan Qi, wearing the windbreaker Mo Lan had brought, huddled on a folding stool. She held a tablet computer in her hands, drawing the blueprints for the weapons she would give to Cao Zhixing next month.
The phone suddenly dinged.
It’s Xi Jiu’s WeChat.
【Xi Jiu: Have you returned to the hotel?】
Ruan Qi locked the tablet, took a sip of coffee from the thermos, and edited a message and sent it.
Xiao Qi: No. We added a few rain scenes at short notice, so it might take a while before we can wrap up.
Xi Jiu, who had just turned off the computer, saw this message and frowned.
He stood up and walked to the French window and opened the small window on the side.
Suddenly, the continuous autumn rain mixed with the cold wind blew in.
Xi Jiu's face didn't look good.
It’s so cold, and the little girl still wants to shoot rain scenes?
What should I do if I have a cold?
At this moment, the phone in my hand vibrated.
[It's Xiao Qi: Has Mr. Xi returned home?]
【Xi Jiu: Just about to get off work.】
It's Xiao Qi: Oh, go home early. Mr. Xi, I have to go filming. Bye~
Xi Jiu stared at the rabbit emoticon sent by the little girl, and his dark eyes slowly narrowed.
He put his phone away, picked up his windbreaker from the sofa and left the office.
