Quite awkward

Zhang Pei took the initiative to contact Qi Yu and revealed to her his thoughts on how to deal with Jiang Mengzhi.

Qi Yu left everything to him to handle, she didn't want to get involved anymore.

At that time, she was leaning on the sofa with a reading lamp on, reading the script of the costume movie she would audition for tomorrow. There were two roles that she liked very much. As for whether the director would use her, it depended on the result of her audition tomorrow.

"Qi Yu, I'll pick you up at nine tomorrow morning."

“Okay, you should rest early.”

Don't be unable to get up in the morning.

Zhang Pei understood what she meant and said calmly, "Don't worry, I won't sleep in if I have something to do the next day. You don't need to wear makeup tomorrow and wear simple clothes. This director doesn't like actresses with heavy makeup."

"Okay, I understand, Brother Zhang Pei."

Qi Yu closed the script and went to the door to pick up the takeaway. This time she had a fat-reduced meal and vegetable and fruit juice.

She finished eating slowly and suddenly remembered something.

Since Muchenan left this morning, he hasn't contacted her again.

Maybe he's been busy.

But he ran around to help her deal with the crisis, should she take the initiative to thank him?

If it had happened a day earlier, she might have sent a message or called to express her gratitude.

But now, she didn't have the courage, and was even more worried about attracting men to her home.

Forget it.

I'd better thank you in person some other day.

-

The next day, Qi Yu auditioned for this costume film all day long, and Zhang Pei stayed with her until the evening.

Before he took Qi Yu away, he shook hands with the director and pulled him aside to chat for a few minutes.

The two returned to the car, and Qi Yu sat in the passenger seat and asked casually, "Should I go through the back door again?"

Zhang Pei laughed twice to answer her doubts.

"If you're using the backdoor, you won't even need to audition. You'll be able to play the role directly after filming begins. I just asked the director what his impression of you was. The director thinks you have good acting skills and a lively performance, so he's already decided to assign a role to you."

"I like the role of the Crown Princess. It's gentle and generous, and it suits me better."

The Crown Princess is a supporting role, with few scenes and an unremarkable character. If she wants to attract the audience, she may only be able to rely on the face created by Qi Yuzhuang in the end.

"Well, I think the second female lead is pretty good. She's a lady-in-waiting in the palace, a key figure whose identity is questionable. The contrast is huge, and it's a real test of her acting skills."

Zhang Pei started the car and expressed his thoughts.

He didn't like Qi Yu staying in his comfort zone, but acting was a gradual process and couldn't be rushed.

Qi Yu listened and nodded.

The two of them just had a brief chat, and the final decision on which role would be played would depend on the director's arrangements.

Maybe I will need to audition multiple times in the future and compete with other actors for the role.

……

“Where are we going?”

It was dinner time, and Qi Yu guessed that Zhang Pei wanted to take her out for dinner, but she didn't know where in the city center they would go.

"I've made an appointment with your second brother. Let's go to a private kitchen for dinner. I've been there once and the environment and the food are both very good."

While Qi Yu was busy with the audition, Zhang Pei had already selected a location and made an appointment with Mu Chenan to have dinner together, mainly because he wanted to talk about what happened yesterday in person.

Qi Yu turned her head to look at him, and really wanted to suggest that she didn't want to go, and asked him to stop at the intersection so that she could go home by herself.

He quickly swallowed back what he was about to say.

It is impossible to hide forever, she will eventually have to meet her "financial sponsor".

The car was parked in the parking space in front of the private kitchen.

The small courtyard with mud-yellow earthen walls has an old-fashioned design, but it does not look simple.

The orange-yellow lights hung high, illuminating the entire yard.

Someone greeted them at the door. Zhang Pei and Qi Yu entered and walked up the wooden staircase to the second floor.

Qi Yu stood at the railing on the second floor and looked out.

There is a flower bed full of flowers in the backyard. Under the light of the white woven lamp, it looks gorgeous. I sniffed the air carefully and there was no dust. I could clearly smell the fragrance of the flowers.
