Chapter 2066

Ye Qingqiu glanced at the time on her phone and didn’t act dumb. She leaned back in her chair with her legs crossed and smiled.

“Director, although our Yaochi’s surname is Pei, she’s not much worse than other dedicated actors who can endure hardships. A young lady has practiced martial arts for an entire afternoon. Although it’s not impossible to wait for another two hours, her condition is definitely not good. So I suggest that I bring her back to rest today…”

The director heaved a sigh of relief. He knew that Ye Qingqiu would definitely say that.

“You’re right. Yaochi has indeed worked hard today.”

Ye Qingqiu stood up. She was wearing a light pink dress that accentuated her fair skin and beauty. She had basic facial care and a lip balm. She was not inferior to all the actresses with exquisite makeup.

“Oh, Miss Liang’s makeup will take at least two hours. Since everyone has nothing to do, why don’t we go and have a drink first? Yaochi said that it’s her treat.”

Pei Yaochi was speechless.

When did she say that?!

When the staff, who had worked hard all day, heard that there was free drinks to drink, they were already tempted.

The director saw it too. Moreover, what she said was right. The next scene would be Liang Xuer’s. Before she put on her makeup, they could only wait.

“Alright, thank you, Yaochi.”

Everyone cheered happily, but only Liang Xuer looked embarrassed.

After two hours of makeup, it would be eight o’clock in the evening. It would be past ten o’clock at the earliest. She had just said that she would treat everyone to dinner to apologize. It was obvious that she didn’t have time now.

The entire crew left, leaving behind her manager, two assistants, and two makeup artists.

She clenched her fists, her face pale with anger.

Even if she wasn’t on set, she would naturally know what it was like.

Hence, she only planned to show her face this afternoon and not put on makeup.

Pei Yaochi had been practicing alone for the entire afternoon. It wasn’t easy for her to carry a gun and perform well.

It was fine if it was someone else, but her manager was Ye Qingqiu.

Back then, she had only slapped her a few times and embarrassed her time and time again. She couldn’t pretend that nothing had happened.

She wanted to mention Brother Tingshen’s indulgence and protection of her to agitate Ye Qingqiu, but she seemed indifferent.

Unexpectedly, he was waiting for her.

Ye Qingqiu ordered a lot of drinks and snacks under Pei Yaochi’s name, but she didn’t eat with her.

After receiving her salary, she still had time to earn extra money.

She had to thank Liang Xuer for being so arrogant.

She went to Mansion Number Eight.

At night, they returned to the hotel booked by the production team.

The next day, the filming went on as usual, but Liang Xuer was not in a good mood. Occasionally, there would be a low cough. Pei Yaochi had nothing to do, so she came to the set to practice. After lunch, Liang Xuer’s assistant ran over and said that she had worked too late at night and the mountain was cold. Her condition was a little serious and she had to go down the mountain to the hospital for an IV drip.

They couldn’t continue filming in the afternoon and evening.

Ye Qingqiu glanced at Pei Yaochi, who had lost her temper. Her lips curled and she turned to look at the director, whose face had darkened.

Clearly, the director couldn’t do anything to Liang Xuer.

This wasn’t even considered a leave of absence. She was just here to inform him that he had to agree even if he didn’t want to.

Exiting the game, she stood up and stroked her hair.

“Director, shall I leave with Yaochi first?”

What else could the director say?

On the way back to the city, Pei Yaochi couldn’t help but curse.

“Isn’t she looking down on others by acting so arrogantly just because she has someone backing her?”

Ye Qingqiu smiled and said, “Isn’t it a waste of resources to not put on airs when you have a backer? Why don’t you do the same?”

Pei Yaochi took a deep breath. “If that’s the case, the director will go crazy from anger. Besides, I just want to film well. I want to fight with others and harm the innocent.”

Ye Qingqiu laughed and said, “Look at how sensible Yaochi is. But I don’t like you. It’s tiring.”

Pei Yaochi was speechless. “…You might as well find a job to earn money!”

“Do you?”

Pei Yaochi was speechless.

She really took it seriously!

Going to the city, as usual, to Mansion Number Eight!

Liang Xuer didn’t return to the production team the next day. Ye Qingqiu was still at Mansion Number 8.

On the third day, Shen Fanxing called.

“Why aren’t you on set?”

Ye Qingqiu shrugged and said, “Miss Liang is unwell. There’s no filming at Yaochi.”

Shen Fanxing was wearing the anti-radiation suit that Bo Jinchuan had bought for her. She sat in front of the computer and smiled at the trending topic.

“The situation is serious? You’re hospitalized?”

Ye Qingqiu sneered, “You don’t allow me to be delicate?”

“Sure, but for who?”

Ye Qingqiu remained silent.

Shen Fanxing leaned back in her chair and caressed her stomach with a faint smile.

“I’m giving you a chance to cause trouble.”

Ye Qingqiu raised an eyebrow. “Isn’t it good that I have a lot of time to earn money?”

“As long as Yaochi becomes popular, I’ll give you a bonus for the upcoming shoot and endorsement.”

“Okay.”

Hearing Ye Qingqiu’s words, Shen Fanxing hung up and chuckled.

The next day, Liang Xuer was discharged from the hospital under the attention of many media outlets. She looked like she was in a hurry. Under the camera, she apologized and expressed her guilt for delaying the progress.

When she reached the set, she immediately put on her makeup. When she came out, she didn’t see Pei Yaochi.

Her assistant told her softly, “Pei Yaochi isn’t feeling well today.”

Liang Xuer frowned. “Then my makeup is for nothing?”

The assistant was at a loss.

Liang Xuer thought for a while and said, “Bring me my phone.”

She spoke to her manager.

A few minutes after hanging up, the assistant opened the internet and the trending topic was already there.

“Liang Xuer was stood up.”

“Pei Yaochi is such a diva.”

There were two trending topics.

Below the two trending topics were one-sided comments.

Liang Xuer was hospitalized and her progress was delayed. Pei Yaochi took revenge on her and deliberately stood her up.

Coupled with a few sickly photos of Liang Xuer’s makeup and the helpless look on her face,

There were also rumors that Pei Yaochi was not famous, but she was quite capable.

Although Pei Yaochi’s surname was Pei, the fans didn’t care.

Her scolding was as unpleasant as it could be.

The assistant was happily watching the developments online and reporting the situation to Liang Xuer excitedly.

A few minutes later, Sister Fan called.

The assistant quickly answered the call. “Hello, Sister Fan…”

“Who made it to the top of the trending searches?”

“Huh?” The assistant was stunned. “Isn’t it you?”

Sister Fan was silent for a while. “No, the situation isn’t right…”
