After the director called the time, Lu Ming rushed to Huo Jinning, his face beaming with excitement and gratitude: "Thank you, Ningning, you're amazing."
As he spoke, Bai gave a thumbs up.
Huo Jinning smiled slightly and said modestly, "It's nothing, don't be shy. By the way, here, take this."
As she spoke, she handed the keyboard in her hand to Lu Ming.
Lu Ming's eyes lit up, and he excitedly took the keyboard, overjoyed: "Really, I really like it. How much is it? I'll pay you."
Huo Jinning shook her head slightly, her tone casual: "I don't know the exact price either, anyway, I didn't buy it myself. You don't need to pay, it's a gift for you."
Lu Ming was deeply moved and quickly thanked him, saying, "Thank you. I'll treat you to a meal when I have time."
Huo Jinning nodded in agreement, "Okay."
However, once Lu Ming got his hands on the keyboard, he immediately focused all his attention on it, ignoring everything else, even forgetting about Huo Jinning.
He carefully stroked the keyboard, as if handling a rare treasure, his eyes filled with affection.
He would nervously protect the keyboard whenever someone else tried to touch it, fearing any damage.
Huo Jinning shook her head helplessly as she watched Lu Ming so engrossed in the keyboard.
Then, she turned around to look for Xu Luoqing, who had already finished filming.
Because they had agreed yesterday that she would teach her to ride a horse today.
Xu Luoqing already had a foundation, so it was easy for her to get started. In addition, there was a dedicated coach in the crew, so all she needed was more practice.
Huo Jinning then shared some of her tips, such as how to maintain balance and how to control speed.
These tips benefited Xu Luoqing greatly, and she quickly mastered the essentials of horseback riding, enabling her to ride faster and more steadily.
Two hours later, Xu Luoqing was able to skillfully ride the horse and gallop across the grassland.
She felt the gentle breeze on her face and admired the beautiful scenery around her, feeling exceptionally relaxed.
At this moment, the sun gradually set in the west, and a magnificent sunset appeared on the horizon, turning the entire grassland golden.
"Luo Qing, you rode really well," Huo Jinning said to her after dismounting.
Hearing her praise, Xu Luoqing smiled happily: "Really? I really felt great today! Thank you for teaching me so well."
Huo Jinning humbly said, "This is all because of your own hard work; I didn't do much."
Xu Luoqing reached out her hand to Huo Jinning, gesturing for her to leave the horse farm with her.
She said, "Let's go to my room and rest for a bit. I asked my assistant to order some takeout for us; see if there's anything you like."
Huo Jinning immediately nodded in agreement, saying, "Okay, sure."
Huo Jinning would never miss an opportunity to eat.
So the two of them walked together toward Xu Luoqing's room.
They also invited Zhao Luoyi and Yang Nianke.
Four girls were eating and chatting in the room.
"It would be nice to have some beer, but unfortunately we can't drink on set," Zhao Luoyi said with some regret.
"I'm just glad I have something to eat. These past two days, I feel full just looking at boxed lunches," Yang Nianke said.
Huo Jinning, her mouth full, didn't offer any opinion; she thought everything was quite delicious.
After that, the group started talking about acting skills.
The atmosphere was great, and we didn't leave Xu Luoqing's room until 9 p.m.
After returning home, Huo Jinning immediately checked her phone and found a message from Huo Nanchu.
She stared wide-eyed at the screen in disbelief, then quickly dialed Huo Nanchu's number.
"Brother, what exactly happened? You said Zhao Qi and Zhao Ziheng went in? What happened? Tell me, let me have a laugh too."
Huo Nanchu glanced at his watch on the other end of the phone and shook his head helplessly.
But what can you do when the other person is your own sister? Spoil her, of course.
Then he patiently explained the whole story to Huo Jinning.
It turns out that Zhao Jianguo had already learned about Zhao Qi's conspiracy from Huo Jinning's inner thoughts when they first met.
From then on, Zhao Jianguo began to take measures to guard against them and gradually brought Zhao Ziyi into the company, gradually regaining control of the Zhao Group.
In the past few days, they finally decided to close the net and devised a trap to capture Zhao Qi and his son.
Taking advantage of Zhao Jianguo's impending will, they deliberately spread rumors, implying that Zhao Jianguo would leave his shares to Zhao Ziyi.
As expected, upon hearing this news, Zhao Qi and his son could not suppress their greed and made another move.
This time, they tried to tamper with the brake pads when Zhao Jianguo and Song Mowan went out, but Zhao Jianguo was prepared for this and was caught on the spot.
In addition, Zhao Qi and his son were also suspected of embezzling public funds from the company and poisoning Zhao Jianguo and his wife, among other illegal acts. The evidence was conclusive, and they were sent to jail.
It even brought up the fact that Zhao Ziheng had hired Song Weiwei to sabotage Huo Nanchu's engagement party last time.
"Wow, Grandpa, amazing. This Zhao Ziheng, you've been so good to him, and he still treats you like this, what an ingrate!" Huo Jinning said indignantly.
"Later, Grandpa asked my eldest uncle why he did that. He found out that my eldest uncle was not a child of the Zhao family. After Grandpa's friend passed away, he entrusted the child to Grandpa..." Huo Nanchu knew that Huo Jinning knew, but she had to pretend that she did not know and explain.
[I already knew all this. This Zhao Qi has no conscience and maliciously speculates about people's intentions; he deserves it.]
His mother was even more hateful.
“These are all good enough to be made into TV dramas, but none of them are as exciting as this. By the way, how are your grandparents?” Huo Jinning asked with concern.
"It's alright, but it would be a lie to say I'm not sad, especially my grandma. She raised me from a baby to adulthood. I heard from my mom that she hasn't been able to eat much lately."
“I’ll be finishing filming in a few days. I’m going back to visit my grandma. It’s not worth it for a jerk like that.”
[They're all willing to kill, so why is Grandma still sad?]
[If I hadn't secretly switched Grandpa's tea leaves and taken Grandma to the hospital, they would both be gone by now.]
"Okay, with you here, Grandma will be a little happier. It's late now, you should go to sleep early too!"
"Okay, goodbye, big brother."
After hanging up the phone, Huo Jinning was very happy, as this solved another problem.
However, Huo Jinning did not let his guard down.
But there are other issues to address.
One is the Sun family. They have always been a big problem, especially after the Zhao Lili incident, which brought considerable negative impact to the Sun family.
But after a while, people seem to forget about it, which makes her feel somewhat helpless.
Another one is the Qian family; they are the most troublesome opponent.
Although her family, especially her eldest brother, doesn't trust Qian Chengfeng as much as before, Huo Jinning is still somewhat worried because her eldest brother died abroad because of him in the original book.
He kept thinking about the affairs of the Sun family, the Qian family, and his own family, and finally fell asleep without realizing it.
