Considering that it was a rare opportunity for everyone to get together to work, Director Chen Dabao decided to use this break time to invite everyone to a restaurant for dinner to celebrate.

In fact, according to the plan, Su Yanqing wanted to pick up her beloved daughter Weiwei from school in person today.

But considering the special circumstances tonight and the importance of team spirit, it would be too inhumane to leave at this time.

In the end, he had no choice but to ask his good friend Guo Chen to help pick up the child and let him go out to eat with everyone first.

According to the seating arrangement, as the main male and female protagonists of the play, Jiang Lu and Gao Jiacheng naturally sat in the most prominent positions next to the respected Director Wang.

Su Yanqing was arranged to sit with her colleagues Yang Yue and Mo Bai, who also started their careers as child stars.

Although she felt somewhat unwilling in her heart, Su Yanqing understood that this was probably the unwritten rule in the entertainment industry.

Whoever is more famous will enjoy more preferential treatment.

After all the delicacies were served on the table, Director Chen stood up and expressed his heartfelt gratitude to everyone, and hoped that every friend could enjoy the happy time brought by this delicious meal.

Although the atmosphere seemed harmonious and cheerful on the surface, the perceptive Su Yanqing always felt that something was strange at the scene, especially when she noticed Gao Jiacheng who was staring at her from the opposite side, she couldn't help but feel an inexplicable tension in her heart.

"Excuse me, Mr. Su, what kind of job did you do before?"

Suddenly, such a slightly probing question broke the silence.

As a colleague, Director Wang naturally understood what Gao Jiacheng meant.

Older people always like to set up matchmakers for others, regardless of gender.

He smiled slightly in his heart, remembering that he had also been "taken care of" in this way by his elders when he was young, and couldn't help feeling a lot of emotion.

"I'm a dance teacher and I also ran a cake shop."

Su Yanqing answered calmly, her words filled with memories and pride of her past.

The days when she was spinning in the dance hall and busy in front of the oven seemed like just yesterday. She missed that simple and pure life.

"Then why did you want to pursue a career in acting?"

Gao Jiacheng asked curiously, with a hint of doubt in his tone, as if he was very puzzled by such a cross-border transformation.

"Because my little girl is sick, I hope to give her a better living condition."

Su Yanqing's voice trembled slightly, but her eyes were firm.

When she mentioned her children, her eyes sparkled with endless maternal love.

This sense of responsibility drove her to bravely step out of her comfort zone and into a field that was completely unfamiliar to her.

Suddenly, there was a slight discussion at the table. After all, people here usually get married and have children late.

We are all used to seeing young people working hard for their careers.

At this moment, Gao Jiacheng's eyes suddenly became dim, as if a sensitive nerve in his heart was touched.

The most surprised person was Wang Dao himself.

Although he had seen many strange stories in the entertainment industry, he still couldn't believe that the beautiful woman in front of him was already a mother.

As far as I can remember, my resume clearly stated that I was single, which undoubtedly had a huge impact on everyone.

"You already have a family at such a young age!"

Su Yanqing had no intention of hiding her personal situation.

"I'm a mother raising a child alone."

Her words were frank and direct, like a breeze that swept through the slightly depressing atmosphere at the scene.

After hearing such an answer, everyone present was at a loss for words to respond and could only fall into silence.

Even Jiang Lu, who is always lively and cheerful, is trying hard to control her emotions.

Even if she did not win the appearance contest, she did not want to become the target of public opinion.

Society is always particularly harsh on women, especially when it comes to their private lives.

"Yang Yue, your performance this afternoon was great..."

Director Wang tried to ease the atmosphere and divert everyone's attention.

He had never expected such a frank and direct answer to appear in this world full of hypocrisy.

In order to prevent the topic from continuing to develop in an awkward direction, he must try to change the direction of the topic, even if the change seems a little hasty.

As the party was drawing to a close, the men gathered in a circle drinking and chatting, and things became increasingly lively.

In contrast, the girls seemed particularly quiet, lowering their heads and constantly scrolling through messages or short video apps on the screen.

Finally unable to bear the loneliness, Su Yanqing stood up and prepared to say goodbye.

"My daughter is still waiting for me at the hotel. I have to go there quickly."

Su Yanqing hurriedly pushed open the door of the hotel room. Although Weiwei's eyes were almost closed due to sleepiness, she still tried to hold on to the last bit of consciousness, waiting for her mother to arrive.

When Su Yanqing saw the little baby struggling to keep himself awake, an indescribable warmth welled up in her heart. The fatigue brought by a day's work disappeared without a trace in an instant, as if it had never existed.

In a blink of an eye, the filming progress has exceeded half of the expected time. However, it is regrettable that the relationship between Su Yanqing and Mo Bai is still as dull as usual.

Whenever she thought of this, Su Yanqing sighed helplessly in her heart, because she found that Mo Bai could always perform the role very well in front of the camera, and his affectionate eyes were enough to touch the hearts of every audience.

However, once the director stopped the filming, that charming face immediately became cold and ruthless, as if she was a huge debtor that he had not paid off for many years, which made people feel both confused and heartbroken.

At the beginning, out of politeness and self-reflection, Su Yanqing thought that this situation might be caused by the gap in age between the two. After all, there was a full thirteen years between them, and such a considerable time gap could easily cause people to feel resentful.

However, as time went on, she gradually realized a more subtle fact.

In fact, in the entire crew, Mo Bai seemed very friendly to everyone, even to the point of being approachable.

But he showed an exceptionally cold attitude towards himself.

Despite this, Su Yanqing, who has experienced the long test of life, has long learned to no longer care about these insignificant little things, and chooses to face all the uncertainties in life with a peaceful and tranquil mind.

Today's work tasks were completed smoothly and ended much earlier than usual. Just as Su Yanqing was about to return to her residence to relax, Gao Jiacheng's assistant unexpectedly appeared in front of her.

"Hello, Teacher Su! Teacher Jiang Lu has taken a temporary leave today to participate in the recording of a variety show, so our teacher Gao would like you to come and help him with his lines. He is currently waiting for your arrival in his private RV."
