CH 49

Ch49 - Won’t bother you anymore

Qin Zhou returned to the lounge with the roses in his arms.

After putting the roses on the table, Qin Zhou came to the table and prepared to remove his makeup.

Just in the middle of removing makeup, Qin Zhou heard the sound of the door being pushed open from the outside.

And because he had just made an appointment with Jiang Lin to go out to dinner, Qin Zhou thought it was Jiang Lin. So, he asked, “Where do you want to go at night? Or shall we go to the barbecue restaurant last time?”

That person did not say a word but he came closer step by step.

“Jiang Lin?” Qin Zhou called out again, but before that person could answer, he looked back and saw that the person who came in was He Yang.

Qin Zhou respectfully called: “President He.”

He Yang came over and saw the bouquet of roses on the table. He said slowly, “You accepted Jiang Lin’s flowers.”

Qin Zhou was still removing his makeup, so he responded casually: “Yeah.”

“You said that you can’t accept the roses.” He Yang’s voice was a little cold.

Qin Zhou raised his head and met the man’s gaze across the mirror.

Qin Zhou suddenly laughed and said calmly, “President He, he is my friend.”

“Why can’t I accept the flowers sent by my friend?” Qin Zhou smiled. His beautiful peach blossom eyes were full of smiles.

“Yanyan——”

Qin Zhou interrupted: “President He, you called the wrong name again.”

Looking at those familiar eyes, He Yang corrected it and called: “Qin Zhou.”

“Are you going out with Jiang Lin at night?”

Qin Zhou didn’t answer directly, he just said, “President He, this is my private matter.”

Qin Zhou turned around and looked at the man in front of him, and he said calmly: “President He, we are not familiar.”

“I’m just an actor and you are an investor to me. I’m really grateful that you help our crew.”

“But I still hope you don’t disturb my private life.”

He Yang lowered his eyes, and after a long time, he said, “Okay.”

“I won’t do anything you don’t like.”

“I won’t bother you in the future.”

He Yang turned around and left the lounge.

Qin Zhou also retracted his gaze and sat back on the chair, continuing to remove his makeup.

The next day, when Qin Zhou came to the crew, he didn’t see the limited edition car with the serial number plate.

For several days after that, He Yang didn’t appear again. He should have returned to Nancheng.

Life had returned to peace.

Not disturbing each other.

After the crew finished shooting, Qin Zhou returned to the company branch office.

Lin ChiXiao: “I’m sorry, the price of this venue has temporarily increased, and I can only rent it for one day……. Maybe we have to work hard today and try to finish the shooting in one day.”

Afraid that Qin Zhou would not be satisfied, Lin ChiXiao quickly said: “Or I will still pay for two days.”

Qin Zhou: “It doesn’t matter, just one day is fine.”

Qin Zhou went to do makeup first, and Lin ChiXiao also went to do his makeup.

The title song of Lin ChiXiao’s album this time was “The Fall”, and the MV plot was the story of a general and a demon.

The MV had two male leads. Lin ChiXiao played the general, and Qin Zhou played the demon that lured the general into his fall.

Qin Zhou’s demon form was still similar to that of ordinary people, except that the makeup was a little thicker, and the red eyeliner was used to extend the corners of the eyes.

Qin Zhou put on a wig and a red robe, sitting aside and waiting for the shooting to start.

Su Tang came over to help with the logistics, and while tidying up Qin Zhou’s wig, she said, “Zhou Zhou looks good in ancient costume. Red suits you very well. It’s just the quality of the clothes is not very good………”

Qin Zhou looked down at the ancient costume on his body. The fabric was a little reflective, which looked very cheap at first glance.

But he was not picky about clothes, as long as he could act.

Qin Zhou rested for a while and saw that Lin ChiXiao was also ready, so he went to shoot.

The shooting volume of the MV was not much, and it could be finished in one day.

However, for the sake of quality, Lin ChiXiao took a scene repeatedly for a long time until it was dark.

After the shooting, Qin Zhou went to remove his makeup first.

It’s just that the eye makeup was a bit complicated. Qin Zhou couldn’t do it alone, so he asked Su Tang to help remove it.

Su Tang took the makeup remover and asked, “Is there any plan after that?”

Qin Zhou replied, “Make a promotional video, and then there’s none.”

“I’m also free.” Su Tang sighed, “There is only one commercial show left, and it was decided a long time ago. I doubt if Brother Zheng has forgotten me.”

Brother Zheng had brought a lot of artists, and he also had a little fresh meat who was currently popular in his hand. All his energy and resources were put on that little fresh meat, and he didn’t care much about the other artists.

Even if Brother Zheng had extra resources in his hand, he would let the seniors in the company pick them first. And those resources would be picked down layer by layer. In the end, when there were only those low-cost bad dramas left, it would be their turn.

“I feel that Brother Zheng will only think of me when he is pimping.” Su Tang laughed a little self-deprecatingly.

Qin Zhou patted Su Tang on the shoulder and reassured: “It’s okay. You will get through it.”

“When I become popular, this sister will take care of you.” Su Tang narrowed her eyes and helped Qin Zhou remove his makeup.

It was already more than ten o’clock in the evening. Qin Zhou packed up and was ready to go back.

However, Qin Zhou did not go back to the company dormitory, but first went to the hospital to see his grandma.

When Qin Zhou passed by, Grandma was already asleep.

Qin Zhou came to the bed and tugged the old woman’s quilt a little tighter without disturbing her. He left the ward quietly, and went to the first floor counter window to pay the bill.

Grandma’s treatment had entered the second stage, which required a lot of new drugs, and the treatment fee was more expensive than before.

After Qin Zhou paid the fee, he checked the account balance again and found that his entire deposit was only enough for him to support him for more than a month.

And after a month later, if he wanted to continue to treat Grandma, he would have to either borrow money from loan sharks or go to sleep with those bosses.

But he didn’t want to choose either of these two paths.

Qin Zhou looked at the account balance for a long time, and couldn’t think of any other way to raise money for a while.

Now if he could survive one day, then he survived one day.

***

Qin Zhou returned to the dormitory and after a few days of rest, he was ready to shoot the promotional video.

This promotional video was prepared with great effort by the company. A total of more than ten artists were going to shoot in Nancheng.

Originally, it was not his turn to shoot this time. It was because a male artist was injured and was hospitalized at the last moment. It happened that the artist was in the hands of Brother Zheng again, so Brother Zheng simply gave him the quota.

Qin Zhou followed the shooting team into the car, looking at the scenery outside the window, bored and in a daze.

The car gradually drove towards the remote suburbs. Qin Zhou leaned against the car window and suddenly found that the road looked familiar. Looking into the distance, he saw a large retro western-style manor.

Qin Zhou looked at the manor and frowned slightly.

The two artists sitting in the front row gathered together and chatted in a low voice.

“It’s the He family’s manor. It’s so big……..”

“It seemed that the He family originally didn’t want to rent it, but then President Yuan came to intercede……..”

Not long after, the car stopped outside the manor.

A maid came to receive the shooting team. Qin Zhou got out of the car and entered the manor.

There were dozens of people in the shooting team, and the maid warned: “You can shoot on the first and second floors, but don’t make too much noise, and don’t go upstairs.”

The person in charge nodded quickly and began to instruct the staff to arrange the equipment.

However, it took time to set up the venue and the lightning, and the artists were waiting on the side.

Qin Zhou sat on the sofa and played with his mobile phone quietly.

It was not until the shooting team was ready that Qin Zhou got up and went over to prepare to shoot.

The first scene was shot in the lobby on the first floor, and the walls of the living room on the first floor were covered with various famous paintings. Also, there were some artworks and ornaments, which were very valuable at first glance.

The staff carefully avoided the artworks for fear of breaking it.

Qin Zhou stood at the entrance of the stairs, and there were two male artists in front of him.

The two boys stood in front of a decorative wooden shelf and were looking at a vase on the shelf.

“Is this an antique?”

“It must be. It’s placed in such a good position!”

Qin Zhou listened to the voices of the two boys and glanced at it. After seeing the appearance of the vase, he was suddenly stunned.

“This calligraphy is also very elegant and unconventional. I don’t know which master wrote it…….”

“The painting is also really beautiful. I guess it’s worth at least a few million……..”

“More than that! Maybe tens of millions!”

The vase was painted with patterns, but the painting style was very abstract, and there were two lines of poems at the bottom.

Qin Zhou looked at the familiar handwriting on the vase and remembered that he bought the vase three years ago.

At that time, he accidentally broke the vase in the study and bought a new white vase.

It’s just that the pure white vase is too monotonous. So, he used paint to paint random patterns on it, and wrote poems along the way.

He still remembered that when he saw this vase was cheap, he bought it on the way.

It’s just a cheap vase of dozens of yuan.

But now this cheap vase was placed on a precious wooden frame with a layer of soft cushion underneath, and was praised as an “antique”.

Qin Zhou looked away and didn’t pay attention to that vase anymore.

The two boys were still observing the “antique” vase, and even took out their mobile phones to take pictures.

When the director saw it, he hurriedly reprimanded: “What are you doing! Be careful not to touch it! Can you pay for it if you break it?”

“I’m sorry!” The two boys quickly apologized, took back their phones, and prepared to shoot.

Just when one of the boys walked past the shelf, his arm accidentally touched the wooden shelf by the wall and pushed the vase.

As soon as Qin Zhou looked up, he saw the vase on the wooden frame shaking, as if it was about to fall.

Qin Zhou hurriedly reached out and wanted to stop it.

But Qin Zhou’s action was still a step late, and the vase fell from his hand with a crisp sound.

The vase shattered into pieces in an instant. Even the people around it looked over and they were all stunned.

When the director saw that the vase was broken, he rushed over and scolded: “What have you done?! I’ve already said not to touch it! Do you have to look for trouble?!”

Others also whispered, “Who is that? How could he break things……”

“I know him! He’s from the countryside. It must be because he’s never seen such things………”

“How vulgar and uneducated. These are all antiques…….”

Qin Zhou looked at the fragments of the vase on the ground, and explained aloud: “The vase, it’s not me ——”

Before Qin Zhou could finish speaking, the director interrupted: “I managed to rent this place with great difficulty! You have ruined it now and how should I explain it to President He!”

Qin Zhou fell into silence.

“The things in President He’s house are all antiques! Can you pay for it if you break it?” The director scolded him right in the face. “What did I tell you guys before coming here?!”

Other people on the shooting team didn’t want to get involved in the trouble. They were all standing on the sidelines coldly.

Qin Zhou looked at the fragments of the vase on the ground, and finally leaned over, trying to clean up the fragments.

The director was still scolding beside him, scolding fiercely and loudly.

The sound of movement on the first floor finally woke the owner upstairs.

Footsteps came slowly from the stairs, and a cold male voice came——

“What’s going on?”
