Accidentally Picked Up a Rich and Amnesiac Alpha (GL) - Chapter 42

Early in the morning, Song Tingxue, wearing a light, airy dress, was radiant. Before leaving, Song Tingxue stood on her toes and kissed Yan Qingqi on the cheek. “I’m leaving.”

“Mhm. I’ll bring you lunch at noon.”

“I want more mung bean soup.”

“Didn’t you just have some a few days ago?”

“I still want it.”

Song Tingxue always indulged in behaving sweetly in front of Yan Qingqi. She hadn’t had the chance in the orphanage, nor did she have a comfortable embrace to be spoiled in, but now she did.

“Alright, I’ll cook mung bean soup today.”

“You are not allowed to secretly work on the puzzle while I’m gone.”

Yan Qingqi laughed softly. “Of course, I’ll wait for you to come back so we can work on it together.”

Only then did Song Tingxue smile and leave.

“Xiaole, do you want some cake?” Song Tingxue held a box containing three-quarters of the cake A-Yan had made yesterday. “We only cut a small bit. The rest is untouched and clean.”

Xiaole happily took the box. “Thank you, Sister Song! Thank you, Sister Yan!”

Xiaole jumped out of the car with the cake. When Song Tingxue stepped out, Lingzi called her name and lowered her voice. “Sister Song, I contacted my friend in L City again yesterday. He said no one is asking about Sister Yan anymore. No one is searching for her.”

No one is looking?

Song Tingxue frowned, her gaze hardening. Did those people stop looking, or do they no longer need to look?

In the makeup room, Song Tingxue ran into Luo Sisi, who was wearing a black slip dress by UE, making her look both elegant and sexy. Luo Sisi seemed to be in a very good mood, smiling constantly.

The makeup artist hadn’t arrived yet. Xiaole and Luo Sisi’s assistant were outside eating cake together. “It’s delicious, right? The ingredients are absolutely trustworthy! Sister Yan made it, and her cooking is top-notch!”

In the makeup room, it was just Song Tingxue and Luo Sisi.

Song Tingxue asked abruptly, “Are you in a relationship?”

Luo Sisi was startled. “How did you know?”

“It’s written all over your face.”

“No way, is it that obvious?” Luo Sisi looked at herself in the mirror, smiling charmingly, her eyes seductive. Wasn’t she practically radiating romance?

Song Tingxue said, “That dress you’re wearing is nice. I haven’t seen you wear it before. Did your girlfriend give it to you?”

Luo Sisi was surprised. “How did you guess that?”

“Is your girlfriend Xiao Gong?”

Luo Sisi was wide-eyed. “No way, Sister Song, you figured that out too?”

“I’m not blind. That day you pretended to be drunk, and Xiao Gong drove you. You practically threw yourself into Xiao Gong’s arms right in front of me.” Song Tingxue smiled. “So, what stage are you two at now?”

“Sister Song, you’re incredible!” Seeing that Sister Song had guessed everything, Luo Sisi confessed openly. “Yes, I’m quite interested in her. I thought the ‘log’ would be truly unresponsive, but she gave me a dress yesterday.”

Luo Sisi was having dinner with a friend yesterday when she received a message from Gong Yue asking when she would be returning to the hotel.

Luo Sisi rushed back to the hotel after dinner. Gong Yue was already waiting for her in the parking lot downstairs. When they met, Luo Sisi realized Gong Yue had come specifically to give her a gift.

The young Alpha said stiffly, “You gave me sunglasses last time. I can’t accept your gift for free. So, this is for you.”

Gong Yue had copied Yan Qingqi, wrapping the gift in wrapping paper and tying a bow.

She pressed the gift into Luo Sisi’s hand, blushed, said “Happy Festival,” and then drove off quickly.

Luo Sisi took the gift up to her hotel room. When she opened it, she found a designer slip dress. It was many times more expensive than the thousand-yuan sunglasses Luo Sisi had given her.

Luo Sisi was quite surprised. She was happy to receive Gong Yue’s gift on Qixi Festival, but realizing the dress was expensive and possibly unaffordable for Gong Yue, she felt a pang of heartache.

She picked up her phone, intending to text her that she had received the gift and the dress was beautiful.

Gong Yue’s message came first: [Did you get to your hotel room safely? Has anyone bothered you these past few days?]

Luo Sisi smiled. [Yes, I’ve arrived. Those thugs were all beaten away by you.]

[If anyone bothers you again, just tell me.]

[I won’t be polite about it.] Luo Sisi sent a heart emoji.

[Um, get some rest.]

[Drive safe.] Luo Sisi’s eyes twinkled. She typed another line. [I want you to see me wear the new dress on the set tomorrow.]

This time, the reply took a while: [Okay.]

Luo Sisi bit her lip and smiled. This person is truly terrible at chatting! So clumsy. But for some reason, she felt a sense of security.

She happily jumped off the sofa, took the dress, and stood in front of the full-length mirror, holding it up against herself.

She looks awkward, but her taste in clothes is actually quite good.

Luo Sisi regained her composure and sighed softly. “This dress cost 180,000 yuan. Oh, I’m worried she’ll be eating pickles and white rice for the next few months.”

Song Tingxue smiled faintly. “Then you should treat her to more meals and help her improve her diet.”

“That’s right! That settles it!”

Song Tingxue looked at the happily smiling Luo Sisi. “Sisisi, you really like Xiao Gong.”

“I do! Honestly, she’s not a flatterer and is always very rigid, but I instantly liked her. I feel so secure when I’m around her.”

Song Tingxue smiled gently. After a long pause, she teased, “I seem to recall a certain someone vehemently declaring they were going to marry into a wealthy family.”

Luo Sisi blushed. “Sister Song, don’t tease me. You know I just said that casually to those boring people.”

When Yan Qingqi arrived with lunch today, Luo Sisi was chatting with Song Tingxue. Yan Qingqi immediately recognized the black slip dress Luo Sisi was wearing as the one she had seen at Meidu that day.

The dress looked even more striking on Luo Sisi, perfectly capturing that fashionable, sunny, and seductive charm.

“Sister Luo, the UE style really suits you.”

Luo Sisi giggled. “Too bad, UE hasn’t asked me to endorse them.”

Song Tingxue looked regretful. “It really is a shame. Sisisi, you are perfect for UE. It’s a pity you didn’t get that endorsement.”

Ji Yun had managed to secure the UE endorsement for Luo Sisi this year, but close to the signing, UE suddenly backed out, choosing a new, popular celebrity instead. Luo Sisi was furious but couldn’t do anything about it.

Seeing her wife’s regret, Yan Qingqi smiled. “It’s alright. Maybe next year, UE will realize they made a mistake and choose Sister Luo after all.”

Luo Sisi said, “Sister Yan, I’ll take that as a good omen. If I become the UE endorser next year, I’ll treat you and Sister Song to a huge dinner.”

Yan Qingqi smiled. “Sounds wonderful. I’ll thank you in advance.”

Luo Sisi didn’t want to interrupt their time together. She took the lunch box Yan Qingqi had prepared for her and left. She quickly scanned the area around the car and, sure enough, spotted Gong Yue, standing straight with sunglasses on, not far away.

“Gong Yue, why are you so vigilant? You look just like a bodyguard.”

Gong Yue: “…”

Did I write “bodyguard” on my forehead?

“You know, you look like a sentry meerkat. It’s very cute.”

Gong Yue: “…” Behind the sunglasses, she blushed again.

“Have you eaten?” Luo Sisi offered her the lunch box. “I’ll stand guard for you for a while.”

“I’ve already eaten. Miss Yan always makes an extra portion for me to eat first.” Gong Yue quickly glanced at her. “You eat. It’s all high-protein, low-fat food. You don’t have to worry about it affecting your figure.”

Luo Sisi was surprised. She smiled faintly, her eyes sparkling. She walked charmingly into Gong Yue’s line of sight, flicking her hair with a finger.

Under the fierce August sun, the Omega’s pale skin seemed to glow. Her wavy hair shone like silk. The slip dress hung on her slender, pale shoulders, making her skin look even whiter, her delicate collarbone more sexy and alluring. Especially her bright, fiery eyes, staring intently at her.

Gong Yue’s face flushed crimson instantly. She only took one look and didn’t dare to look again.

Luo Sisi saw her reaction and, if they weren’t on the set, she would have definitely lifted her chin and kissed her lips.

“The dress is very beautiful. I love it!”

Gong Yue hummed in response. After a long moment, she said, “You look very beautiful wearing it!”

Last night, Gong Yue hadn’t driven off immediately. She parked near the hotel and only felt relieved when Luo Sisi confirmed she was safe in her room. After their chat ended, Gong Yue stared at the heart emoji for a long time.

[I want you to see me wear the new dress.]

Gong Yue imagined Luo Sisi wearing the dress. She’s a celebrity. She must look beautiful in that dress!

The Luo Sisi in front of her was wearing the dress. She was a hundred times, a thousand times more beautiful and more sensual than Gong Yue had imagined.

“Why aren’t you looking at me? I wore it specifically for you.” Luo Sisi pouted in dissatisfaction. She let out a soft huff.

Gong Yue had to look at her again. Her gaze shifted, meeting those bright, fiery eyes. Gong Yue’s heart pounded as if it would jump out of her chest. She quickly looked away. “I-I’m working.”

Luo Sisi chuckled softly. She deliberately asked, “Gong Yue, are you always so generous to Omegas?”

Gong Yue was startled. A crack appeared on her stern face. “Of course not! I only gave it to you! I’m not a rich second-generation heir.”

“Then how could you bear to give it to me?”

“This, this…” Gong Yue stammered. “You gave me sunglasses. I, I… I just thought you would look good in that dress.”

Luo Sisi stopped teasing her. She pulled up a small stool and sat in the shade next to her. She opened the lunch box and started eating slowly.

“Why don’t you stand in the shade with me?”

“The shade is a blind spot for my line of sight. I can see clearly from here.”

Luo Sisi nodded dismissively. “You really are a sentry meerkat.”

Gong Yue didn’t say anything, keeping an eye on the various people standing, sitting, or passing by the car.

One stood in the sun, one sat in the shade. They kept each other company in silence, enjoying the light breeze.

In S City, the meeting ended. Yang Yifan lingered. Seeing Jing Michu about to leave, he rushed over to stop her.

“Ms. Jing, please wait.”

Jing Michu stopped, her face expressionless. “What is it?”

“I wanted to ask if the eldest Miss is alright.”

Jing Michu instructed her assistant, “You two wait outside.”

The male and female assistants left the room and waited outside the conference room.

Jing Michu looked at Yang Yifan with a subtle smile. He was tall and handsome, but he always acted timid, submissive, and harmless around her.

Jing Michu had been fooled by this facade before.

“She’s fine. My cousin is perfectly fine. Why are you asking? Are you hoping something is wrong with Chairman Wen?”

“No, no, no,” Yang Yifan seemed frightened. “Of course, I hope the eldest Miss is alright. It’s just that I asked Uncle Qin a few days ago, and Uncle Qin said you told him to stop looking.”

Jing Michu suddenly realized. “Oh, I forgot to tell you. Stop looking for my cousin. She called me a while ago and said she ran into some trouble.”

Jing Michu paused, staring intently at Yang Yifan.

Yang Yifan lowered his head even further, obscuring his expression. “W-what kind of trouble?”

Jing Michu sneered internally. “My cousin didn’t say, but she plans to take a vacation in the country, rest for a while, and come back when she’s refreshed.”

Yang Yifan finally looked up slightly. “The eldest Miss has worked so hard. She must have been very worried looking for the second Miss for three years. It’s good that she can rest and relax.”

Jing Michu noncommittally nodded. “Is there anything else?”

“No. I just wanted to express my concern for the eldest Miss. Mr. and Mrs. Wen were very kind to me. Without Mr. Wen, I wouldn’t be where I am today. I’m very grateful to them. First the second Miss, and now the eldest Miss… I’m very worried.”

“It’s good that you remember my uncle and aunt’s kindness.” Jing Michu strode toward the door and opened the conference room door. “I hope you focus more on your work and improve the performance of the department you lead. I believe that’s the best way to repay them.”

Yang Yifan was full of trepidation. “I apologize, Ms. Jing. I will try my best.”

Jing Michu smiled faintly and left.

Yang Yifan was left alone in the conference room. He suddenly lifted his head. The timid, meek, and cautious expression was gone.

He let out a cold snort, his eyes fixed on the direction Jing Michu had left, like a poisonous snake.

Close to noon, Qiao An came to pick up Jing Michu. “I’m downstairs, in the lobby.”

Jing Michu held her phone, smiling. “I’ll be right down. By the way, did you bring the gifts I bought for Uncle Qiao’s birthday? We can’t forget them.”

“I brought them all. I checked.”

A moment later, Jing Michu finished her work and went downstairs. Qiao An was wearing a fashionable, high-end dress, her long hair draped over her shoulders, looking elegant and charming.

Jing Michu’s eyes lit up, and she walked over, smiling. Qiao An linked arms with her, and the two walked out of the lobby, laughing.

Jing Michu’s smile was radiant. “Wife, you look so beautiful today!”

Qiao An leaned into her. “My parents haven’t agreed to let me marry you yet. I’m not your wife yet.”

Jing Michu’s smile grew even wider. “I’m going to ask your parents to let me marry you today.”

Several female Omega employees in the lobby sighed.

“Sigh, Ms. Jing has already been claimed.”

“Ms. Jing has had a girlfriend for two or three years now.”

“Don’t lose hope. Our company still has a top-tier single Alpha!”

“Who? Which one of the excellent female Alphas in our company is still single?”

“Chairman Wen is still single, apparently. They say she’s very handsome, beautiful, and extremely aristocratic, like she stepped out of a comic book.”

“Really? I’ve never seen Chairman Wen.”

“Me neither. Chairman Wen rarely comes to the office. I think I saw her once from afar two years ago. I didn’t know she was the eldest Miss of the Wen family then. I thought she was a major client being escorted by Ms. Jing herself.”

“Wow, what does Chairman Wen look like?”

“How would I remember? I only hear that Chairman Wen is very low-key. She doesn’t like having her picture taken or appearing in the news.”

A few days later, Song Tingxue had more night shoots. She had two consecutive nights of filming, returning home at 2 a.m.

Today, Yan Qingqi was preparing dinner at home when she received a message: [A-Yan, we have a night shoot tonight. It will likely go all night.]

All night!!!

Yan Qingqi replied: [I’ll bring you dinner.]

Song Tingxue didn’t want her to make the grueling commute to the set. [No need. I’ll just eat the boxed meal from the crew. You go to bed early and don’t wait up for me, and don’t worry about me.] Fearing Yan Qingqi wouldn’t agree, Song Tingxue added two words: [Be obedient.]

Yan Qingqi looked at those two words, simultaneously laughing and crying. Does Songsong think I’m a child?

At 7 p.m., at the set, Xiaole handed Song Tingxue a boxed meal from the crew. “Sister Song, why didn’t you let Sister Yan bring you food?”

Song Tingxue said, “She’s already stayed up with me for two nights. I can make up for lost sleep in the morning, but she can’t. She has to buy groceries and cook. If she comes, she’ll probably stay up with me again. I don’t want her to stay up all night.”

Xiaole said, “Sister Song, you are so good to Sister Yan. Unspeakably good.”

Song Tingxue smiled faintly. A-Yan is the one who is unspeakably good to me.

Song Tingxue was about to open the boxed meal when she suddenly heard someone call out, “Sister Song, I’m here!”

People passing by saw that it was Yan Qingqi—the life assistant by Sister Song’s side who did her laundry and cooking.

“Bringing food for Sister Song again?”

“Yes. You’re filming all night, right? I heard it will go all night, so I definitely have to bring food.”

Song Tingxue heard the voice and turned around, surprised. “Why did you come?”

Yan Qingqi lifted the food containers. “Of course, to bring food to the Movie Queen Boss.”

Song Tingxue shook her head, smiling, her eyes shining brightly. “Why didn’t you tell me beforehand?”

“If I told you, would you have let me come?”

“I definitely would have said no.”

“Then there’s your answer. I came secretly.” Yan Qingqi smiled, opening the containers. “Eat up. It’s all your favorite things. You’ve been staying up late these days, so drink more soup. This soup is a new recipe of mine. I brought an extra bowl for Sister Luo.”

Song Tingxue drank the soup. “She’s not here right now. She doesn’t have a night shoot today.”

Yan Qingqi said, “Alright then. I’ll drink it myself later. No waste.” She glanced at Gong Yue and saw a look of disappointment on her face.

Song Tingxue finished her meal and went off to film. Yan Qingqi was in no hurry to leave. She decided to stay and watch her wife film. Seeing that the director was Bai Ming again, Yan Qingqi took two steps back, keeping as far away from him as possible.

At 11 p.m., the crew took a break.

Yan Qingqi watched from a distance as Bai Ming talked to Song Tingxue and two other actors about the scene. Song Tingxue listened, nodding occasionally. Just as she was about to leave, Bai Ming called her name again.

“Yes, Director Bai?”

Bai Ming handed her a bottle of mosquito repellent. “There are a lot of mosquitoes at night. Spray some when you rest.”

Song Tingxue thanked him but didn’t take it. “No need. I have my own.”

Bai Ming insisted, grabbing Song Tingxue’s hand to force it into hers. Song Tingxue looked startled, her face changing color. She dodged to the side, almost bumping into Guan Tong, another supporting actress.

Guan Tong, who was always resentful that the top-tier Song Tingxue always got the best of everything and felt she was just as good, seized the opportunity to speak with a sarcastic tone. “Sister Song, you wouldn’t reject Director Bai’s things, would you?”

Just then, a hand reached out and took the bottle of mosquito repellent.

“Why would anyone reject Director Bai’s things?”

With that, Yan Qingqi sprayed psst psst psst three times, aiming the spray right at Guan Tong.

Guan Tong yelled, “What are you doing?”

Yan Qingqi said, “I’m testing it out. Why are you making such a fuss? This is Director Bai’s good stuff. You won’t even have a chance to spray it later!”

Guan Tong was so angry she rolled her eyes. “Who are you?”

“Wow! The mosquitoes really stopped buzzing after I sprayed this!” Yan Qingqi ignored her, acting like an unsophisticated country bumpkin. “Director Bai, this stuff is great! Where did you buy it?”

Bai Ming saw it was her and immediately looked annoyed. “Why are you here?”

“I came to bring Sister Song her late-night meal.”

Bai Ming scowled. “Didn’t you see we were talking about the scene? Don’t interrupt our work. Do you, a small assistant, even understand what we’re talking about? If you’re here to deliver food, go wait on the side.” His expression was extremely arrogant.

Song Tingxue’s face changed. This wasn’t the first time Bai Ming had deliberately humiliated Yan Qingqi. She wouldn’t allow Miss Yan to be treated with such disrespect and contempt again and again.

Song Tingxue’s face turned cold. “Director Bai, I understand everything you said. If there’s nothing else, I need to take a break to touch up my makeup.”

Her words were essentially her walking away in anger.

Bai Ming’s face was ashen. He couldn’t believe Song Tingxue was publicly turning against him for a small assistant.

Yan Qingqi’s expression remained unchanged, completely unfazed by Bai Ming’s hostility. “Hey, Sister Song, don’t leave. Director Bai is a big director. We all have to follow his instructions on the set. Let’s stay and listen to Director Bai’s wisdom, and learn a thing or two.”

“You’re not an actor. Why are you listening to the rehearsal? What do I have to communicate with you about?” Bai Ming snorted coldly. “I told you you wouldn’t understand. Talking to you would be like casting pearls before swine.”

Song Tingxue’s eyes froze. She grabbed Yan Qingqi’s arm, ready to leave.

Yan Qingqi, hearing him curse her by saying “casting pearls before swine,” didn’t get angry. “Good work can be appreciated by everyone, regardless of background. Directors like Fu Chunsheng and Zou Qingming, those famous, internationally renowned directors, can explain profound professional knowledge in a simple, easy-to-understand way in interviews. As for whether you, Director Bai, can do that, it’s hard to say. After all, you’re so young. You lack experience. You probably haven’t reached that level of mastery.”

Yan Qingqi finished, blinking at Bai Ming.

A strange silence fell over the set.

Guan Tong and the other two actors watched Director Bai, their faces shocked, not daring to utter a single word. Others tried hard to restrain themselves but couldn’t help but let out a few stifled giggles.

Bai Ming’s face was pale. He knew he couldn’t compare to renowned, multi-award-winning veteran directors like Fu Chunsheng and Zou Qingming.

“I just found out today that you, Xiao Yan, are quite impressive. You can even use veterans to pressure me. Since you admire these great directors so much, why don’t you invite the experienced Director Fu or Director Zou to the set personally to give us some guidance? A young person like me could certainly learn a lot.”

Yan Qingqi said, “I wouldn’t dare. How could a small assistant like me possibly invite those two great directors…”

Bai Ming interrupted her. “If you can’t invite them, stop talking nonsense. This is a film set. Actors need to focus and immerse themselves in their roles. They need to concentrate. Don’t come to the set anymore. If you want to deliver food, drop it off outside, and I’ll have someone bring it in for Movie Queen Song.”

This was both a warning and an eviction.

Seeing Yan Qingqi stunned and seemingly scared, Bai Ming was in a great mood. He stopped talking about the scene. “Everyone take a break. We start filming in half an hour.”

Song Tingxue and Yan Qingqi walked to the side to rest. Xiaole was extremely worried. Fu Chunsheng and Zou Qingming were legendary directors. This Miss Yan… Xiaole sighed. While Miss Yan’s cooking was superb and she was always kind to her, the words “beautiful useless person” would not come out now. Miss Yan had caused a huge problem this time. How could she possibly invite one of those legendary directors, no matter how good she was at cooking?

Not far away, a few actors were whispering.

“Who told her to talk to Director Bai like that? She’s either stupid or arrogant. Let’s see how she gets out of this one.”

“What power does a small assistant have? Song Tingxue spoiled her. A small assistant thinks she can do anything!”

“Exactly. She’s not some elite figure with billions who can command the wind and rain. She thinks she can invite those two directors? That’s beyond a toad dreaming.”

“Hahaha, a toad having a daydream.”

“Some people, just because they won a Three Gold award, look down on everyone else. What’s the point of acting so high and mighty? They deserve this. Now we can watch the show.”

“I hope she can invite Fu Chunsheng or Zou Qingming. Who gets the chance to meet directors like that?”

“Exactly. Maybe Director Fu or Director Zou will see me and give me a role in their next film.”

“Dream on! Why would you get that chance?”

“Get lost! If not me, then you?”

Song Tingxue looked worried.

A-Yan had made a big promise. Now, they had to try everything to invite either Fu Chunsheng or Zou Qingming.

She had met Director Zou once at the Golden Leaf Awards last year. Perhaps if she asked Sister Ji to connect them, she could go beg Director Zou. There might be a slight chance.

Song Tingxue lowered her gaze. Then she remembered that Director Xiao had a good relationship with Director Fu. Should she ask Director Xiao to invite Director Fu?

“Songsong, what’s wrong? Don’t worry too much.” Yan Qingqi, the cause of all the trouble, acted as if nothing happened, spraying mosquito repellent around Songsong.

“There are too many mosquitoes here! It’s completely taken over by mosquitoes!”

Song Tingxue suppressed her worry and gave her a gentle smile, showing no signs of blame. “Sit down and rest.”

Yan Qingqi said, “I’m not using Director Bai’s bottle. I’m using my own mosquito repellent spray.”

Yan Qingqi chased the mosquitoes away and magically produced a thermos, pouring a bowl of mung bean, lotus seed, and lily soup.

“Time for a late-night snack. Have some soup. It’s refreshing and helps cool you down.”

“Why did you bring soup too?”

“I promised to stay up with you while you filmed, so of course, I prepared a late-night meal for you. This helps with the heat, calms the mind, and soothes the nerves. You don’t have to worry.”

Did she really not have to worry?

Song Tingxue curved her lips, saying nothing. She held the soup A-Yan had stewed for her and slowly drank it.

“Is it good? I know you don’t like too much sugar. I used rock sugar and only a tiny bit.”

Song Tingxue smiled. “It’s delicious.”

The two held their bowls, chatting and drinking, seemingly unaffected by the drama. Yan Qingqi was genuinely unafraid. She just needed to call Jing Michu. With the Wen family’s connections, she could probably get Fu Chunsheng or Zou Qingming to make an appearance. She had a strange feeling. For some reason, the name Zou Qingming felt very familiar, like she had heard it before.

Xiaole watched the two calmly sipping their mung bean soup, practically tearing her hair out with anxiety.

“Sister Yan, you’ve really caused trouble this time.”

Yan Qingqi smiled. “How so?”

“Director Fu and Director Zou are not just any big directors. You may not be in this circle, but they are the pillars of the industry. How are you going to invite them?”

Yan Qingqi smiled brightly. Perhaps others have to fear the director’s mood, but Yan Qingqi doesn’t. At worst, she and Bai Ming will part ways. She’ll take Songsong and leave. Zhaoyuan will simply invest a billion yuan, find a script and a director for Songsong. That way, she won’t have to deal with Bai Ming’s smug, arrogant face.

Indeed, with great wealth comes great confidence.

“If I can’t invite them, I’ll just stay outside. You can bring the food containers to Sister Song for me.”

Xiaole pressed her hand to her forehead. “Sister Yan, you’re so carefree!”

The scene continued until 3:30 a.m. One of the actors was struggling with his lines, constantly forgetting them.

After filming since noon, many actors were exhausted. Some of their makeup was fading. Some faces were starting to look puffy. Some minds were shutting down, leading to forgotten lines and pauses.

Director Bai let loose a torrent of abuse at the struggling actor, aiming to kill the chicken to warn the monkeys.

“Here, anyone who doesn’t perform with focus, who doesn’t follow instructions, or who has unrealistic ideas, get out! Leave my set!” After venting his anger, Bai Ming felt slightly better. He used the break to adjust the lighting and scanned the surroundings.

That little assistant, Yan Qingqi, must have been scared senseless and fled.

He looked around once but didn’t see her. He looked a second time and finally spotted his target.

Well, well! That monkey was completely unfazed.

Yan Qingqi was fast asleep on Movie Queen Song’s lounge chair, covered by Movie Queen Song’s coat. On the small table beside her was the bottle of mosquito repellent he had given Song Tingxue.

The wretched little assistant was using his mosquito repellent!
