"..." Wang Cheng: "You're cursing me."
Lin Qiong spoke up in defense, "No."
Wang Cheng: "Then what did you mean by what you just said?"
Lin Qiong, with her hair disheveled like a bird's nest, raised one hand and placed it limply in front of her chest, a sudden realization dawning on her: "That's a blessing."
"..."
Then, in a roundabout way, he asked, "What do you want?"
Lin Qiong squinted as she looked at the sunlight streaming into the room through the glass window.
Only after being reminded of it did Wang Cheng realize, "Lin Qiong!!! We have a job! We have a job!"
The young man slightly moved his phone away from his ear. "Going to take pictures of school uniforms?"
Wang Cheng exclaimed excitedly, "Filming!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Qiong's brow twitched, and she blurted out, "I'm not going."
Wang Cheng exclaimed in disbelief, "Why?! What a great opportunity!"
Lin Qiong casually tossed her hair. "I can't do it. I won't take on a job I'm not qualified for."
Although he was a stage actor in his previous life, it wasn't the same industry. He had never acted before, had no experience, and was not confident at all. He didn't want to take the risk, since a refrigerator is meant to keep things cool.
"Didn't you not do that before?" Wang Cheng continued to persuade him. "Your acting was terrible before, and you were so picky about scripts that no one would hire you to act, and you didn't earn any money all year round."
Lin Qiong continued, "That's why I got married."
"..."
The thought that Lin Qiong had now married an old pervert filled Wang Cheng with heartache.
Wang Cheng said earnestly, "This time is different."
Lin Qiong asked in confusion, "What's different?"
Wang Cheng became excited again, "We received a movie offer!"
"Your school uniform photos from last time went viral. The film producer said your appearance matches the character and wants you to audition!"
Lin Qiong's mouth instantly formed an "O" shape. "That's like a pie falling from the sky."
Wang Cheng: "Who says otherwise? Have you been doing any good deeds lately?"
Lin Qiong thought about it carefully, "I've been eating vegetarian food lately."
"..."
Wang Cheng's voice was passionate and impassioned, "Should we seize this opportunity that's fallen from the sky?"
Lin Qiong once again stated firmly, "I'm not going."
Wang Cheng: "Why? Because it's a lot of money!"
Lin Qiong chuckled lightly, as if she regarded money as dirt, "Do you know what kind of person my husband is?"
Wang Cheng: "An old man?"
Lin Qiong: "Rich people."
"..."
Wang Cheng said earnestly, "It's better to rely on yourself than on anyone else."
Lin Qiong said, "I always thought so too, until I tasted the bitterness of laziness."
Then, as if deep in thought, he said, "In my youth, I didn't know the value of a wife; I wasted my youth planting rice seedlings backwards."
"..."
After hearing this, Wang Cheng took a deep breath. The other party was a wayward teenager being lured by an old man with money.
He needs to be loving and tolerant.
"Lin Qiong, everyone is an independent individual who does not belong to anyone, and of course you are unique as well."
Lin Qiong shook her head and laughed self-deprecatingly, "I used to think I was unique too."
Wang Cheng assumed the other person was about to recount their own history of moral decline, "And then?"
"Until I used the same username."
"..."
Although Lin Qiong spoke decisively, he had also thought it through. It wasn't that he didn't need a career; it was just that his most important task right now was to take care of Fu Xingyun and keep him alive.
It will be less than two years before Fu Xingyun makes a comeback. If he goes out to film, he won't be back for a month or two. However, Fu Xingyun lives in such a big villa and there is no one to take care of him.
Wang Cheng: "I don't believe you're not tempted. I need a reasonable reason."
Lin Qiong: "I can't be out for too long."
Wang Cheng: !!!
That old pervert has actually started to restrict Lin Qiong's personal freedom!
Wang Cheng: "The role I auditioned for only had two or three minutes of screen time in the movie."
"If the acting is good, it should be able to finish filming in three days."
Lin Qiong hesitated for a moment, "What kind of role is it?"
Wang Cheng: "White Moonlight".
Seeing that the person hesitated, Wang Cheng pressed on, "Don't worry, you won't be gone for too long."
Lin Qiong only agreed after learning that the film crew was in a neighboring city.
After hanging up the phone, Lin Qiong glanced at the dazzling sunlight outside the window, then went back to bed for a nap. However, things didn't go as smoothly as she had imagined; Wang Cheng's voice echoed in her mind like a demonic chant.
Finally, he reluctantly got up, shuffled downstairs in his slippers, and bumped right into Fu Xingyun, who had just gotten off the elevator.
Lin Qiong: Good morning.
It's okay if it's not good.
Fu Xingyun glanced at Lin Qiong's faint dark circles and gave a brief reply.
During breakfast, Lin Qiong briefly told the other party about her work trip.
Lin Qiong chewed her food and said, "Soon, I'll go to the audition and come back in a day."
Fu Xingyun: "It doesn't matter how long you stay."
Lin Qiong didn't mind, after all, that was just how the other person spoke.
After breakfast, Lin Qiong pushed Fu Xingyun outside for a walk. They had been staying in the villa's yard for a while and were tired of the surroundings. This time, Lin Qiong planned to take him out for a stroll.
Lin Qiong, dressed neatly, pushed the person out the door and happened to run into the old man who was collecting scraps and wearing designer clothes, leading a small dog.
The two were already quite familiar with each other, and the old man in the rags would greet Lin Qiong when he saw her.
This time was no exception. The old man, who was selling rags, looked at the person and smiled, "What a coincidence, you're out walking your dog too?"
Lin Qiong: ...
Fu Xingyun: ...
The conversation just died like that.
Lin Qiong offered a few words of explanation, then quickly pushed Fu Xingyun away.
Phew! Today was another day of saving lives.
Three days later, Wang Cheng came to pick him up. Lin Qiong was worried that Fu Xingyun would starve to death alone at home, so she specially downloaded a food delivery app on his phone.
Fu Xingyun looked at it and asked, "What's going on here?"
Lin Qiong smiled but remained silent.
Save your dog's life :)
The two arrived at the film set close to noon, and as soon as they entered the waiting room, they were suddenly hit by a wave of heat.
The room was packed with people, all there to audition for the same role, including Lin Qiong.
Wang Cheng: !!!
"What's going on? Weren't we the only ones invited?"
Lin Qiong: "Did the producer tell you that?"
Wang Cheng: No, not at all.
"..."
“Although we’re not the only ones, it’s still a windfall.” Wang Cheng: “There are a lot of people, but Lin Qiong, if you do some good deeds now, you might still have a chance.”
Lin Qiong: "For example?"
Wang Cheng: "Let's split today's gas costs."
"..."
After the interviews began, Lin Qiong and Wang Cheng waited in the corridor. Everyone who went in came out extremely quickly, almost visibly so.
They came out almost twenty seconds after going in.
As her turn approached, Lin Qiong suddenly felt her hands tremble.
Lin Qiong: ?
Looking down, he saw Wang Cheng holding his hand, shaking uncontrollably.
"..." Lin Qiong: "What are you doing?"
Wang Cheng: "I grant you strength, both gentle and firm."
The two looked at each other deeply, then Lin Qiong turned her head away.
"This power is not worth having."
"..."
They arrived quickly, and Lin Qiong started timing the moment she entered.
After twenty seconds, turn around and leave.
"etc!"
Lin Qiong turned around in confusion: ?
The producer adjusted his glasses. "The actual product matches the photos."
