Chapter 46 Why didn’t you call?
Li Qinghe now understood what a coincidence it was. Ning never thought it was intentional, but it was just a simple matter.
Li Qinghe responded softly and glanced at Ning Congyuan, "Then we'll leave first."
Ning nodded from a distance, "Okay."
Ning Congyuan's crew was indeed right next to Li Qinghe's. The director was even pleased, "With Director Ning by your side, you can learn some techniques from time to time."
Xia Zhi held a glass of cold drink and complained, "Why hasn't the second female lead come yet? It's been so long."
The second female lead has quite a lot of scenes in this drama, and they had agreed beforehand that because the actor who plays the male lead has other schedules, it will be postponed for a week. Li Qinghe needs to finish her scenes with the second female lead for the time being.
As a result, in this hot and sunny summer, after waiting for such a long time, there was no trace of the actress who played the second female lead.
"Don't worry." Thanks to Li Qinghe's gentle personality, he didn't say anything even after waiting for so long. If it were someone else with a hot temper, they would have probably gone on strike long ago.
After waiting for more than an hour, the sun began to set. I saw Tan Ying, who played the second female lead, wearing heels and said in disgust, "What a lousy place, it's so hard to walk."
Because it is a costume drama, this part of the filming was all done in the mountains. The mountain road is difficult to walk on, and the weather is hot.
"It turned out to be her." Xia Zhi pursed his lips and snorted heavily, "I knew it, who is so famous."
Tan Ying also saw Li Qinghe, and she forced a smile through her teeth and walked away coldly, "Long time no see, Miss Li."
Li Qinghe seemed not to notice her provocation and smiled politely, "Long time no see."
How could the director not see the relationship between the two? However, this drama was invested by the Tan family. No matter what, he had to give Tan Ying some face.
However, even though they had agreed on a time, Tan Ying was deliberately late. As a dedicated director, he couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable. After a light cough, he asked, "Ms. Tan, it's almost time. Do you think we can put on makeup and start filming?"
"But I didn't memorize the lines." Tan Ying blinked innocently.
The director's face froze, and his anger grew even more intense, but he suppressed it, "It's okay, we have a teleprompter here."
"But I'm tired." Tan Ying sat down beside him without saying anything. Li Guang glanced at the electric fan in Li Qinghe's hand and smiled seductively, "Miss Li, I feel a little hot. Can you please give up the fan?"
Xia Zhi swore that she really wanted to kick him. It was ok that he made them wait for so long without any guilt, but he was still so arrogant.
"You don't know how to buy it yourself!" Xia Zhi rolled his eyes.
Tan Ying's face turned cold and she looked at Xia Zhi with dissatisfaction, "Do you have the right to speak?" He is just an agent, how dare you talk to her like this?
Xia Zhi's face turned pale, he snorted angrily and ignored her.
Li Qinghe looked at Tan Ying with a good temper, and her gentle voice was a little unhappy, "Ms. Tan, she is my agent, so she has no right to talk to you?"
Tan Ying flipped her hair, lying comfortably on the recliner, and said sarcastically, "More than that. I really don't understand what Jiang Jingxing sees in you. There's nothing I can do. Who asked you to be kind to him? If you didn't know each other before and you just happened to help him, do you think he would like you?"
Li Qinghe's expression did not change. If Jiang Jingxing wanted to repay his kindness, he could have used other methods without involving herself. "I don't need to bother you with that, Miss Tan."
Tan Ying looked unhappy, snorted, and went to rest.
When Li Qinghe returned to his residence in the evening, he was so tired that he didn't even want to lift a finger.
Tan Ying was deliberately mischievous. She kept filming the same scene over and over again. After half a day, her body was exhausted from the pressure for a long time.
Xia Zhi massaged her angrily, cursing, "Tan Ying, you little bitch, you did this on purpose. When our Li Qinghe becomes famous, I will kill you!"
Li Qinghe laughed and looked at the time. It was already past eleven o'clock and she hadn't called Jiang Jingxing yet.
Just as I was thinking about it, my cell phone rang.
"Qinghe." Jiang Jingxing seemed to be on the road, with the sound of flutes around him, "Why didn't you call?"
After waiting for her for a whole day, Jiang Jingxing finally lost his patience and took the initiative to call her.
"I just got back from filming."
No wonder the voice sounds so tired.
I shouldn't have spoiled her and let her go to such a faraway place to film, leaving her tired and hungry with no one to take care of her.
"That's not the case." Jiang Jingxing heard a woman muttering on the other end, "It's obviously that Tan Ying's fault."
"Xia Zhi." Li Qinghe scolded lightly, and Xia Zhi stuck out her tongue. "Then I'll go back and not disturb you and Mr. Jiang."
"Okay." Li Qinghe lowered her eyebrows and lifted up her clothes. There were red marks on her waist, which were particularly conspicuous on her fair skin.
Jiang Jingxing on the other end frowned slightly and asked her, "Were you bullied?"
The tone on the other end was as overbearing as ever. Even though they were at such a long distance, Li Qinghe could still imagine that Jiang Jingxing had a cold and unhappy look on his face.
Thinking of this, even his tone softened a lot, with a little smile, "No." After thinking for a while, Li Qinghe still asked, "Are you familiar with Tan Ying?"
Although she had no intention of asking about Jiang Jingxing's past, Tan Ying's repeated troublemaking did make her feel a little uncomfortable.
"Tan Ying?" Jiang Jingxing on the other end groaned for a moment, as if thinking seriously. Finally, he asked, "Who is she?"
Li Qinghe was speechless for a moment, not knowing how to explain. After thinking for a while, she told him, "She is the only daughter of the Tan family."
"No impression." Jiang Jingxing seemed to be uninterested. He was not paying attention to this and just asked her, "Did she bully you?"
"I guess so." Li Qinghe said, feeling the low pressure coming from the other end, and said softly, "It's just some small things, I can handle it."
"Yeah." His voice was still cold and sounded a little dissatisfied, "Qinghe, you should learn to rely on me more."
Jiang Jingxing likes the feeling of being depended on by Li Qinghe.
Li Qinghe stood up and drew the curtains, leaving the screens open to let in the cool evening breeze.
After a while, she replied, "Okay."
The next day of filming, Tan Ying was still late.
The director's face became more and more gloomy. If it weren't for the fact that her father was an investor, he would have quit long ago.
"Call her!" The director kicked the stool in annoyance.
He is well-known in this circle for his bad temper. He had already endured it for so long yesterday, but he didn't expect that Tan Ying would still not restrain himself.
"I've called him." The attendant said with a tearful face, "He said he hasn't woken up yet."
The director was so angry that he was about to kick the stool again. The stagehand hurriedly said, "Director, calm down. Stay calm."
"Calm down! My balls hurt!" He has been a director for so many years, but he has never felt so aggrieved. What's so great about having a few bucks?
Hey, that's fucking amazing!
