Chapter 190




“Qingqing ah, today’s filming will be a lot more than yesterday’s. If you can’t handle the workload, tell me. Don’t force it. We strive for quality, not quantity.”
“Got it.”
The filming schedule of the day went on in full swing. Ji Qingqing didn’t even have time to drink water. She was either listening to Director Zhou’s comments on the scene or rehearsing with other actors for the entire morning. Around 1 pm, Wen Rou who was holding onto Ji Qingqing’s phone received a video call from Lu Lixing.
“President Lu, Sister Qingqing is filming. I’m afraid she doesn’t have time…” Wen Rou said hesitantly.
“Use the back camera to show me how she’s doing with the filming.”
Wen Rou activated the back camera and centered it on Ji Qingqing.
“Listen, your job is to keep the camera on her the whole time. I’ll give you a raise if you do a good job.”
As a little assistant, Wen Rou’s energy boosted when she heard the word ‘raise.’ “Thank you, President Lu. Don’t worry. I won’t let Sister Qingqing leave the focus of the camera!”
Lu Lixing nodded. Seeing that Ji Qingqing was still discussing with Director Zhou, he continued to immerse himself in his work.
Chen Jing entered his office to deliver a report. “President Lu, this is the report you were asking for.”
“En, leave it here and you can take your leave.”
Ji Qingqing’s voice appeared from the other side of the camera. “Wen Rou, what are you doing?”
“Sister Qingqing, President Lu is having a video call with you!”
Chen Jing raised her eyebrows and smiled.
Lu Lixing looked up briefly at her.
Chen Jing quickly nodded. “President Lu, I will leave now if there’s nothing else.”
After speaking she left the office.
On the other side of the camera, Ji Qingqing looked at Lu Lixing in the video call. “Do you need anything from me?”
“Didn’t I tell you earlier? Video call for no more than five hours a day?”
“But aren’t you working? It’s so noisy on my side. Won’t that bother you?”
Lu Lixing nonchalantly put on his Bluetooth earbuds. Instantly, Ji Qingqing’s voice that could be previously heard from the phone’s speaker now became only audible to him.
“No.”
“Ok then, I’m going to film now.” Ji Qingqing then handed the phone to Wen Rou. Glancing again at the dutiful Wen Rou who was raising the phone up to film, she said, “Thank you for your hard work. I’ll give you a raise later on.”
Having received two promises of pay raise, Wen Rou burned with drive once more. Smiling, she thanked Ji Qingqing. “Thank you, Sister Qingqing!”
Some of the filming crew were puzzled when they saw Wen Rou constantly holding up the phone. “Wen Rou, why are you always holding the phone up? Are you filming some behind the scenes clips?”
“No, I’m filming Sister Qingqing.”
A crew member walking by took a look. He gasped when he saw Lu Lixing appearing on mini popup at the upper right corner of the video call.
“Take your time to film. Take your time…”
Was Mr. Lu video calling Ji Qingqing?
“Hey hey hey, did you guys know? Just now I saw Sister Qingqing’s assistant holding up the phone to film her.”
“Isn’t it normal for them to film some behind the scenes clips?”
“No! It wasn’t a video recording. It’s two people video calling!”
“What do you mean?”
“It’s Mr. Lu. I saw Mr. Lu working on the other end of the phone screen! Wen Rou is filming Sister Qingqing while she’s working and Mr. Lu is watching it from the other end of the video call!”
“Really? Mr. Lu?”
“Of course! I knew it already. Mr. Lu arrived right after Sister Qingqing reached the filming site. He was probably following close behind Sister Qingqing. Now that he has left to deal with urgent matters regarding his company, he still remains worried about her.”
“Filming at the filming site, what’s there to worry about?”
“What’s there to worry about? Based on the past incident between Sister Qingqing and Shen Weiwei, do you think he shouldn’t be worried?”
“Now that you said it, it does sound reasonable… It seems Mr. Lu really loves Sister Qingqing.”
“It’s true love for sure.”
Those people shifted their eyes towards Wen Rou who was holding the phone, then to Ji Qingqing at the filming area. They looked at one another, all seeing the disbelief in each other’s eyes.
Not only did they not believe it, but even the employees in Lu Lixing’s company were also in disbelief.
According to rumors from President Lu’s assistant’s office, the very busy Lu Lixing would never forget to video call a certain female celebrity after work. Although the said female celebrity’s name was kept unknown and everyone had no idea who it was, the mysterious aspect of it made things more interesting. It soon became a hot topic during the employees’ free time.
Everyone was guessing who the woman that conquered Lu Lixing was.
Some guessed that it was a trending female celebrity. After all, during a previous banquet, a photo was taken of the two, smiling and talking to each other. Though the photo got taken down ten minutes after it got uploaded on the Internet, it still spread like wild-fire among the employees.
