Chapter 56
"What's given to me is mine." Lu Xun sneered barely perceptibly: "Didn't you just let me lose it? I think your suggestion is very good."
The cold and heartless words were spoken lightly, and it was unknown who had been hurt. Jiang Qiao could not stay any longer.
The bright and empty office returned to silence. Lu Xun's lips gradually straightened. He stared silently at the opened meal on the corner of the black table.
After a while, I picked up a small green vegetable and put it in my mouth. It was moderately salty and tasted many times better than the green vegetable I had six years ago.
He ate very politely, one mouthful after another, as if he was eating some rare delicacy, and he didn't stop until he had finished it all.
Jiang Qiao has returned to the crew and has had scenes for the past few days. Ancient idol dramas do not require too many martial arts moves, mostly hand gestures. Jiang Qiao carefully used foundation to cover the bruises on her wrists.
What we are going to shoot today is the scene where she breaks up with the second male lead. They grew up together as childhood sweethearts, but the second male lead eventually fell in love with the female lead uncontrollably.
When the director called cut, Jiang Qiao had not yet finished the scene.
The crew's meals were good, with three meat dishes, one vegetable dish, and a soup. Jiang Qiao had just walked to the big tree where he usually ate with the food when a few people came over.
They are the heroine and hero of the show.
The leading actor has his own rest room and usually eats in an air-conditioned room. Why would he force himself to eat under a tree?
Jiang Qiao hesitated whether to change positions.
The female lead Xu Jun has spoken up: "Jiang Qiao, why are you eating here alone? I was wondering why I couldn't find you the last few times. So you hid here."
How come she didn’t know that Xu Jun had looked for her?
Jiang Qiao asked politely, "Teacher Xu, is there anything?"
"No, I just want to have dinner with you. We're all from the same crew, and you don't even talk to us..."
Jiang Qiao: “……………………”
Who is not talking to whom? As if a few words were her fault, Jiang Qiao couldn't stand it and pretended to be confused, then suddenly realized and said shyly: "Ah, so that's how it is, I misunderstood. Last time we were acting together, you didn't say your lines, and I thought Teacher Xu looked down on me, an 18th-tier actress."
"…How could that be?" Xu Jun couldn't continue the small talk and looked at the male lead.
The male lead quickly smoothed things over: "Let's eat, it's not too late to talk later."
"Yeah, let's eat quickly." The female lead breathed a sigh of relief.
Everyone had their own thoughts, only Jiang Qiao really showed off his food. Halfway through the meal, the actress couldn't help herself,
Pretending to be casual, he asked, "I heard that Jiang Qiao is from Guonan. How come I haven't heard of you before? You are too low-key."
"No." Jiang Qiao said calmly, jokingly: "These are all rumors. Everyone knows the tactics of those marketing accounts. They all take things out of context and spread rumors everywhere."
Xu Jun didn't know whether he believed it or not. He smiled and changed the subject. He then tried to hint at it indirectly, but Jiang Qiao refused to say a word.
The two didn't ask anything and left with regret.
Then the director politely said that he could give her more roles and asked her what she thought.
Jiang Qiao sighed and explained again that she had nothing to do with Mr. Lu from Guonan.
The director smiled and said, "Okay, okay. Then when you want to add more scenes, tell me in advance, okay?"
Well, I still don’t believe it.
After a month, Jiang Qiao's scenes were finally finished, and the crew held a wrap-up party for her. Jiang Qiao tried to refuse again and again but failed.
The director also mysteriously said that he had invited investors to dinner.
The biggest investor is Guonan, so who did the director invite?
Along the way, Jiang Qiao was very nervous, his fingers tightly intertwined.
This kind of dinner party usually involves a random senior executive from the company. Jiang Qiao clearly knows that Lu Xun's identity will not appear at the wrap-up banquet.
But, what if?
She hasn't seen Lu Xun since they parted on bad terms last time.
[166, I feel like this is getting more and more confusing.] Jiang Qiao said in confusion.
166 has been particularly silent recently, and Jiang Qiao always feels that he is planning something big.
Sure enough, after nearly a minute of silence, 166 finally spoke, his mechanical voice steady and cold: [If you hesitate, you will fail, host, you are always hesitating.]
Subconsciously, you are always losing.
Jiang Qiao: [……………………]
Jiang Qiao was choked for a moment, then laughed and said: "I am surprised that you can say such reasonable things."
[I learned this from you.]
Jiang Qiao: [……………………]
Is this a compliment to her? Not really.
After entering the box, the investor had not arrived yet, so Jiang Qiao sat with his colleagues, sitting next to the director on the left.
People gradually arrived, except for the investor representative of Guonan Group. Jiang Qiao stared at the napkin in front of him and heard the door open.
Then a familiar yet unfamiliar male voice said, "Sorry everyone, we're late."
He said sorry, but I didn't hear much apology in his words.
Jiang Qiao raised her eyes instantly and looked over. It was not Lu Xun, but the man who brought her into Lu Xun's office door last time.
"Not too late, not too late. Why did Special Assistant Wang come here in person? It's a small wrap-up party. Thank you for coming..."
"Our President Lu is busy with work and cannot come, so he asked me to do it for him. I hope you don't mind." Special Assistant Wang didn't know who he was talking to, and he explained it in detail.
Others immediately smiled and said, "I understand."
At the director's invitation, Assistant Wang sat in the main seat, next to him was Jiang Qiao, who lowered his eyes and remained silent.
He maintained his fake smile and moved the bench away calmly.
Are you kidding? If he accidentally runs into his future boss's wife, he will be fired tomorrow for stepping into the company with his left foot first.
The reason why he became a special assistant was definitely not because of his outstanding work ability, but because... he was a classmate of Lu Xun.
Yes, it’s such a simple reason.
Wang Jie met Lu Xun in his second year of studying abroad. At that time, Lu Xun had just entered school. He was a tall and big boy who was extremely thin and lifeless.
Logically, the two of them would not be assigned to the same dormitory, but Lu Xun had only been in the freshman class for less than a month when he skipped to the sophomore year and moved into his dormitory.
In just two years, he obtained his degree certificate and was called "the mysterious power from the East" by his classmates in foreign schools.
During the time they lived together, he found that Lu Xun was really quiet. His cold appearance was not just to pretend to be cool. It seemed that nothing could distract him except studying. For a long time, Wang Jie thought he had a mental problem.
He was still brave and fearless at that time, and sincerely persuaded Lu Xun to see a psychiatrist, but Lu Xun just glanced at him coldly. During the struggle, Lu Xun's phone fell to the ground.
The screen shows a very beautiful and bright girl with a high ponytail, smiling freely under the roses.
Love again
By the way, has no one discovered the meaning of the name of Xiao Lu’s company?
