Deliberate seduction, Mrs. Pei also wants a divorce tonight

As soon as this sentence was uttered, Qiao Jiao's assistant flipped through the circle of friends and saw a message from the costume and makeup director.

[The Nian Hua crew needs a makeup director. Teachers with availability are welcome to apply.]

Less than a minute after posting it on Moments, ten comments appeared below:

Chief Makeup Artist Selina: [Really? Do you want me to come overnight?]

Tony: [I can postpone all my schedules.]

Meili Studio: [All studios on standby.]

Tianyu Ace Makeup: [Can you wait a day? I'm in Hollywood and can come tomorrow!]

......

After watching it, Qiao Jiao hailed a taxi and headed straight to the crew's hotel.

When they were about ten minutes away from the door, they encountered a traffic jam. Qiao Jiao grabbed her luggage and ran all the way to the door of the crew.

He broke off a freshly made nail and said, "It's just a crappy production crew. Do they need so many people following them?!"

While cursing, Qiao Jiao turned to look at the costume director waiting at the door, with a smile on her face: "Director, one minute left, I'm here!"

The costume and makeup director glanced at his watch, his face icy, and beckoned to her: "Come on."

Without saying anything more, Qiao Jiao followed the costume and makeup director to report to the crew.

During her time at the hotel, she met Lin Zixuan. Thinking of the news from the previous two days, Qiao Jiao greeted her enthusiastically.

Meng Jingyi left and was replaced by Lin Zixuan. People were also heard saying, "I met Mr. Pei at the airport a few days ago. I don't know who he personally sent to the airport. He held the child in his arms and it hurt a lot."

Such a spendthrift person! I wonder when it will be Qiao Jiao's turn?

Soon, Qiao Jiao and her assistant checked into the third floor of the crew's hotel.

-

On the top floor of the hotel, in the suite with the words "General Producer" written on it, the door was open and Lu Qi's assistant, Xiaoyun, was reporting to Lu Qi about tomorrow's work.

"Starting tomorrow, the costume and makeup team will be participating in the script reading... Mr. Xu's costumes have already arrived. Also, the biggest problem right now is the set design for the fourth scene."

Lu Qi opened a box of medicine, shook out two pills, and drank them with warm water. "What's the response from the external production team?"

"They say they're still in the process of mediation because the scene is along the coast, involves demolition issues, and is relatively close to offshore base stations, so the forces involved are quite complex."

Holding his stomach, Lu Qi frowned: "Is there no alternative scene?"

"Director Qi said that he was optimistic about the best scenes there, and if they were changed, the quality would be much worse. However, the production team still found two replacements, but they were not in Shenzhen and Guangzhou."

"where?"

"Nanshi."

Lu Qi closed his eyes and calculated that if the fourth scene was moved to Nanshi, the time, manpower and material resources consumed in the process would be wasted, which would be nearly five million yuan in money.

Although it is not a large amount, the effect of the change is not good, and the gain does not outweigh the loss.

Seeing that Lu Qi didn't speak, the assistant asked again: "Teacher, what are your plans for tomorrow? Are you going to the reading group, or..."

"There's no need for a group read. Contact the external producer. I'll go with him tomorrow to sort out the scene issues."

"Okay." Xiaoyun was very serious and hurriedly wrote it down in her notebook.

Then he raised his head, hesitantly, and said, "Teacher... I see you don't look well, are you sick?"

Lu Qi waved his hand and poured another glass of warm water: "It's nothing, it's just an old problem. I've been working on the team these past two days and my diet has been irregular."

"Stomach problems!" Although Xiaoyun is clumsy, she is quite smart. She just doesn't know what to do.

But just after they started talking, there was a knock on the door of the room which was not closed.

Shen Yici stood outside the door, carrying a bag of takeout boxes. Seeing that there was someone inside, he walked in.

Lu Qi squinted his eyes and said, "Director Shen, when did you become so unruly?"

No one except the chief director, chief producer, and her assistant can enter the general producer's room casually. Even the top floor, which has a total of three suites, is not open to others.

Upon hearing this, Shen Yici paused slightly, not knowing whether to advance or retreat.

Lu Qi laughed: "Just kidding. What do you want to see me for?"

Heaving a sigh of relief, Shen Yici picked up the takeaway box and shook it. "Looking at Mr. Lu, he hasn't eaten much today, so I bought you some porridge. Shenguang's porridge is really good."

Approaching the living room, Shen Yici opened the thermal bag, took out the energy-saving and environmentally friendly lunch box, and placed it on the table.

Lu Qi glanced at the logo above. Zhou Ji is quite famous and a national chain. Unfortunately, the owner is not a native of Shenzhen and Guangzhou.

Without pointing it out, Lu Qi thanked him and said, "I really didn't eat much. I guess I'm not used to the delicious food in Shenzhen and Guangzhou. What a pity."

Actually, it’s not that I can’t get used to the food, it’s that my stomach hurts.

For three consecutive days, she only ate one boxed lunch from the crew each day, and she started swearing halfway through her meal. Her fragile stomach began to growl.

But Lu Qi had to save face and couldn't refuse people's kindness: "Put it aside for now. I'll eat it after I finish these things."

Seeing this, Shen Yici didn't leave, nor did he sit down. He stood: "This is how it is when we're off the set. It's always hard work. It's Mr. Lu who's been tired. He could have been enjoying the delicacies at home, but he came to suffer with us."

Shen Yici is a very polite person, neither arrogant nor impatient, and very gentle.

She had worked with him once before, and he never scolded anyone, but she, Lu Qi, scolded him a lot.

I always feel that when she is with Shen Yici, she looks like a bad person.

She didn't know what to say. Coincidentally, someone worse than her called her via video. Lu Qi picked up the phone and saw the video call on the other end, which was cut off in an instant.

Changing the subject, Lu Qi talked to Shen Yici about other director teams.

While fiddling with the phone, he replied: [Someone is in the room and it’s inconvenient.]

During the two days I've been on the crew, I've been video chatting with this guy at about the same time. There's no main topic, just random chats, and he hangs up after ten minutes.

After hanging up, a message came.

Pei Yao: [Who should I follow at this hour?]

The tone was rather casual, like a nonchalant question. It didn't sound like he cared at all, but he didn't really care.

Lu Qi smiled and replied: [Men.]

After a while, I looked at the "typing" button over there and saw another message: [There is also a woman.]

The other side replied quickly: [So many things? ]

[That's right, I haven't even had a proper meal. I probably won't video chat with you tonight. I'll go to sleep after this.]

Lu Qi put down his phone, and then there was another "ding dong" sound.

Since coming to Shenzhen and Guangzhou, she has turned on the ringtone of her mobile phone, perhaps because she is worried about missing something.

I picked up the phone and saw that person sent a rather disgusting message: [Send a voice message, listen to the tone.]

Lu Qi pressed the voice button, pursed her lips, her slightly pale lips opening and closing as she held up the phone: "Are you sick? Good night."

His voice was a little low because of the stomach pain and lack of strength.

After sending the message, Pei Yao did not reply again.

Lu Qi ignored him and looked up. Shen Yici's face didn't look good. He was stunned for a moment, then shifted his gaze and continued talking about the problems of the director team.

After listening for about half an hour, she had almost figured it out. It was already past eleven o'clock when the two people in her room left.

Before leaving, Shen Yici said, "The porridge is getting cold, Mr. Lu, eat it while it's hot."
