Mr. Ji, stop spoiling me, your wife is on the hot search again

After the morning scene was over, Director Chen called Xia Qingqian and said, "Xiao Xia, you've performed well these past two days. Keep it up and try to finish reshooting the previous scenes this week. Then you won't have to work so hard later on."

Xia Qingqian felt flattered and replied to Director Chen with a happy smile, "Thank you, Director Chen. I will try my best."

"Director Chen is well-known in the industry for his strict requirements. It's not easy to get his praise. Xiao Xia is really good."

"Yes, this kid is hard-working and serious. Director Chen made a good casting choice this time."

Two veteran actors who usually had a good relationship with Xia Qingqian also spoke up for her, and for a moment she became the center of attention. Xia Qingqian was not used to so many compliments, so she made an excuse to go to the bathroom and quickly escaped. Just as everyone was about to have lunch and rest, the crowd dispersed.

Xia Qingqian was in the bathroom cubicle when she heard someone talking outside and walked in.

"Sister Zhizhi, didn't you see the smug look on Xia Qingqian's face just now? I was so angry that I thought I had hooked up with Mr. Lu and Director Chen, and I could fly to the top and become a phoenix."

The person who spoke was the actress who had fought with her before and slapped her several times. Later, Xia Qingqian found out that her name was Chen Xiaowei, and she was from the same agency as Du Zhizhi, but they had never met before.

Du Zhizhi snorted coldly, "Who do you think Lu Licheng is? He is so kind to help her. It's because she is pretty. That fox face is really attractive."

"That's right! I don't know how she bribed Director Chen in private, but she actually got the role of the third female lead."

"Don't worry. Director Chen is really strict. You didn't get the third female role this time. I'll recommend other plays for you next time."

"Thank you, Sister Zhizhi. It's not because of this. I just don't like Xia Qingqian. What's so great about her? She's just an 18th-tier actress who hasn't become popular in a few years. She follows those veteran actors around and flatters them every day, making them happy and all speaking for her."

"That's just her ability. Don't mess with her recently. After all, Lu Licheng and Director Chen are both very optimistic about her, and those veteran actors also praise her openly or secretly. Who knows who is the financial backer behind her?"

"Got it, Sister Zhizhi."

When Xia Qingqian was about to come out, she heard someone scolding her. As the person involved, she could only continue to hide in the cubicle. It would be embarrassing if she went out and encountered this. She just wanted to film well. It was better to have less trouble than more. Unexpectedly, this time she found out the reason why Du Zhizhi and Chen Xiaowei targeted her.

She really didn't expect that people's jealousy and maliciousness could be so serious.

She could understand that Chen Xiaowei was unhappy with her. From what she heard, it seemed that Du Zhizhi had recommended Chen Xiaowei to Director Chen before, asking her to take over the third female role, but she didn't expect that she got the role.

Naturally she wouldn't like her. Those slaps on the first day were really out of selfish motives. No wonder she took revenge during the filming.

But Du Zhizhi couldn't stand her, she really couldn't understand it.

The two of them didn't know each other before, had never worked together, and had never met each other. Could it be that he was displeased with her just because she got the third female role?

I'm really speechless. It's not like she took away her leading female role, and a nobody like her can't pose a threat to her.

Sure enough, women's minds are smaller than needles.

Moreover, jealousy can change a person beyond recognition. She used to think Du Zhizhi was kindhearted and had good acting skills, and she was happy for her when she won the Best Actress Award.

After spending these few days together, I realized that I was really blind.

This woman is really good at acting. She is two different people in front of others and behind their backs.

After there was no sound outside, Xia Qingqian opened the door and walked out to get her lunch box. Like other staff members on the set, she ate the staff meal. People like Du Zhizhi and Lu Licheng usually went out to eat by themselves, after all, the staff meal was too simple for them.

As soon as Xia Qingqian came out of the bathroom, she ran into Lu Licheng.

"Senior Lu~" Out of politeness, she took the initiative to greet him first.

Lu Licheng still had a gentle smile on his face, "Want to go eat?"

"Yeah." Xia Qingqian nodded. She really wanted to leave quickly. She didn't know if it was her illusion. Every time she met Lu Licheng alone, his gentle smile and eyes always made her feel uncomfortable. But when they were filming together and there were many people around, it seemed that she didn't feel uncomfortable.

Maybe I was overthinking it. Lu Licheng has always had a good reputation in the industry. Almost everyone who has worked with him praised him for being dedicated, modest, and gentlemanly.

He was indeed very dedicated and serious when filming, and his acting skills were very good.

Not far away, the girl who helped Xia Qingqian put on makeup and change clothes on the first day waved at her. Xia Qingqian had become very familiar with her in recent days.

Xia Qingqian hurriedly said to Lu Licheng, "Senior Lu, I'll go over first."

Then he ran away quickly.

After lunch, Xia Qingqian originally wanted to go to the corner she had found earlier to rest for a while, but she didn't expect that her secret base had been discovered and occupied in advance, so she had to find another place.

After walking around the set, there didn't seem to be any other suitable rest areas. There were too many people in the public lounge, so she didn't want to go there. Unexpectedly, she ran into Lu Licheng again.

This time it was Lu Licheng who called her first.

"Qingqian, don't you have a place to rest? Do you want to go to my car to rest for a while? By the way, I can rehearse the scene we performed this afternoon for you." As Lu Licheng spoke, he gently raised one hand and placed it on Xia Qingqian's shoulder. He looked like a senior instructing a junior.

The hand just stayed on Xia Qingqian's shoulder, rubbing her shoulder repeatedly without leaving any trace.

Xia Qingqian frowned, suppressed the discomfort in her heart and gently moved away.

It turned out that her feeling was not wrong.

"Senior Lu, I have something to do at noon and I have to go out for a while. I will definitely consult you next time I have the chance." Xia Qingqian made an excuse. But what she was thinking was...

Next time I see Lu Licheng, I must take a detour.

Whether it is a human or a ghost, you really have to take off the mask to know.

She has been in the industry for two or three years. Although she does not attend social events and has not personally encountered some things in the circle, it does not mean that she has not heard about them.

Xia Qingqian walked out of the set, took a stroll outside, and went back when she saw that it was almost time.

After returning, Xia Qingqian breathed a sigh of relief when she didn't run into Lu Licheng. She hurriedly went to touch up her makeup and change her clothes, and then started the afternoon shooting again.

In the afternoon, Xia Qingqian and Lu Licheng had a scene together. Lu Licheng showed up on the set just before filming began. Xia Qingqian frowned slightly when she saw him. She was a little worried about whether there would be any problems during filming, but she didn't expect the filming process to go very smoothly. Lu Licheng was indeed talented. Xia Qingqian got into the role quickly with him, and passed it in one take.

Xia Qingqian was a little unsure of this person for a moment.
