Trajectory 2: entangled curves

Because Zhuge Qinuo's remaining scenes were basically shot with Deng Qing, and Deng Qing's scenes were basically with the female lead. After separating from Mi Bei that day, her work on the crew came to an end and she returned to her normal life.

Her bar and restaurant were quickly put on track. After several months of investigation, the plan to develop an art park was going very well. She would make a final assessment of the several projects she was looking for and would soon be able to make a final decision. If everything went well, Zhuge Qinuo's business territory would be expanded again.

But can it go smoothly? Not possible!

This would never be a word that would appear in Zhuge Qinuo's life.

At this time, there was news from the crew that her and Deng Qing's scenes needed to be re-shot.

Because he was still hesitant among the cooperation brands in several art parks, Zhuge Qinuo chose to report to the crew one day in advance even when it came to the critical decision-making period.

It was not to avoid or procrastinate, but she believed that hesitation meant she was not firm enough. The decision made in such a lack of firmness would be hasty and would cause big problems in the future, just like the moment she chose to get married.

She trusted her instincts more than making hasty decisions. It would never be wrong to let the bullet fly for a while.

"How did you come?"

This was Deng Qing’s first reaction when he saw Zhuge Qinuo in the lounge.

It’s hard to say about other things, but because Deng Qing was there, everyone would misunderstand that she came so early for other purposes.

Of course, except Deng Qing and Mi Bei.

Deng Qing, who had experienced the "test" incident, was really confused at the moment. He would never again be so self-righteous as to think that Zhuge Qinuo came early just for him.

"I heard that the scene has changed from before, so I came here early to familiarize myself with the environment." She dared to come, so she must have thought of a reason.

"You are a sister, Director Xu takes care of you. You can do it. You are too diligent." Deng Qing was still wary. After all, after going through the "test", he was even less clear about the routine and purpose of this woman in front of him. But one thing is, she did it purely for the sake of filming to get familiar with the new environment? Impossible!

"Just pretend I don't exist. I'll just take a look and leave. I'll come back tomorrow." Zhuge Qinuo was actually too upset to say much. She hoped that Deng Qing didn't see her, and even better, if she saw her, she would put on airs and ignore her.

Although he is a handsome guy, a big movie star, and the idol in the hearts of thousands of girls, he is high above her, but she, as an ordinary person, also has her own concerns. Filming is just an episode in her life, and the choice she has to make next is the main theme of her life in the second half of her life.

She was such a trouble-averse person. Although she had been making choices, this was exactly what she was most afraid of doing. Moreover, she already knew that Deng Qing had a problem with her, so it was unclear who was bothered by whom.

Zhuge Qinuo's cold conversation naturally did not arouse Deng Qing's desire to talk. After a few words of greeting, he went out to prepare for today's play.

Deng Qing walked out of the door a few steps and stopped. The staff members following him were all confused.

"Heh, you're taking over the magpie's nest. Are you trying to kick me out? Why should I leave?"

He muttered to himself, and turned his body 90 degrees. He glanced at the lounge, finally closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and strode towards the set.

Zhuge Qinuo was alone in the lounge, watching other actors coming in and out and greeting them one by one, but she felt that she was the most idle one in the crowd, and it was quite awkward to just sit there, so she left the busy area of ​​the crew on her own and walked around.

At times like this, she likes to find an environment where she feels comfortable, shut down her five senses, calm herself down, and make decisions with her heart rather than her brain.

Because she had something on her mind, she, who preferred sitting to standing and lying to sitting, walked around for a whole day, stopping and walking, watching people coming and going around her.

It was already evening when she returned to the filming location. In a little while, it would be lunch time for the actors and staff of the crew. However, those who are filming often cannot eat on time, as they have to eat according to the progress.

She recalled her previous lukewarm attitude towards Deng Qing and felt that it was inappropriate, so she wanted to show her best and see if the big movie star was willing to give her a chance and let her prepare a rich takeaway for him.

She thought that Deng Qing would go to the dressing room to tidy up after filming, so she went there. At this time, everyone was basically in the lounge on the set, and there was no one here.

No one is here. She sat down on the sofa where Mi Bei had lain in the dressing room that was somewhat familiar to her.

This sofa is a magical existence. Unused things are piled on it. No one will use it as a sofa, and no one will pay more attention to it.

It was only after Mi Bei slept on it last time that Zhuge Qinuo realized that it could also be used as a sofa.

After sitting for a while, she felt sleepy and covered herself with the clothes next to her.

She always had a good sleep quality, and after a while, she fell into a deep sleep. There were some rustling noises in between, but she chose to ignore them all.

until……

"How is your mother?" Zhuge Qinuo didn't want to move when he heard Deng Qing's voice.

"fine."

It turned out to be Mibei's voice.

She suddenly woke up, opened her eyes, and wanted to get up, but was afraid of being seen in this state of disgrace.

Mi Bei: "She is still in a bad mood and is still preparing for surgery."

While she was hesitating whether to come out, she had already lost the best opportunity, as Mibei seemed to be starting to talk about a very heavy topic.

She didn't dare to move. She thought that since Deng Qing and Mi Bei were here, everyone must be off work. She wanted to sneak out when there were many people around, but...

"Deng Qing, take a rest here. The night shift will start in an hour." This is the voice of Deng Qing's agent.

A response and the sound of the door closing put an end to her thoughts. No one else would come in, giving her a chance to get up while the chaos was going on.

Forget it, just lie down quietly and get some sleep.

"What about the debt?" Deng Qing asked in a low voice after hearing the door close.

"There is another part." Mi Bei said softly.

Deng Qing: "How many more?"

Mi Bei: "More than 500 million, but I have collected some more money! It will be transferred to my account slowly in the near future."

Deng Qing: "So how many are left?"

Mi Bei: "Except for the possible debt, there are still more than 300 million to pay off. Well, it's almost the last payment. If it weren't for Brother Deng's help, I would now..."

Deng Qing: "Okay. I treat you as a brother. If this matter is not resolved early, it will be a bottomless pit."

Mi Bei: "Farewell, no one's money is earned through hard work. I don't know when I can get your 5000 million. 5000 million! My parents' assets have been liquidated, I don't know when I can pay you back."

5000 million!

Zhuge Qinuo listened silently and suddenly realized that in this circle where profit is paramount, Mi Bei and Deng Qing, one is a well-known movie star and the other is a little-known celebrity.

Although everyone thinks that the entertainment industry is a golden cave, she knows that this is for those who make it. For someone like Mi Bei, if there is no way to make it, then the 5000 million will be a lifetime debt.

So, what kind of friendship between them could allow Deng Qing to lend such a large sum of money despite such a huge difference in status?

After thinking for a while, Zhuge Qinuo began to regret hearing such a little secret here that he shouldn't have heard.

Deng Qing: "It will be very quick. Mibei, you must have confidence in yourself and don't feel burdened. I am not afraid that you won't pay it back, so what are you afraid of? I believe in you. You have to take care of the family affairs yourself. Is there anyone taking care of your mother?"

Mibei: "I have a caregiver when I need help. I may need surgery."

Deng Qing: "At such a young age, how can you be so mature and take on so much? In just a few days, your parents went bankrupt, divorced, and were in debt. Your mother was still in the hospital. Even tragic novels dare not write about this."

Mibei: "Luckily you are here."

Deng Qing: "Don't worry, just focus on filming. The rest..."

"Beep, beep." The sound of the cell phone vibrating.

Mi Bei and Deng Qing looked for the source of the sound vigilantly. Zhuge Qinuo was so scared that his heart almost jumped out of his chest and he quickly hung up the phone.

I feel like there is a kind of pressure slowly approaching.
