Chapter 133 Winning the Game

Xu Qingyao stood in an empty ward, panting in panic.

After hearing Xu Zhongshan's footsteps just now, she felt panicked for no reason and subconsciously hid in the next ward.

Xu Qingyao felt a headache and pressed her temples. Thinking of Xu Chongshan's unfinished words, she couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

This information came sooner or later, but it just happened to come when I heard the key points.

If I had known earlier, I would have just opened the door and gone in. Now I wouldn't even dare to go back to the ward.

Xu Qingyao tried her best to suppress her chaotic thoughts, took out her phone and checked the text message that interrupted her eavesdropping.

It turned out to be a notification text message from the crew.

The producer has already drawn up her contract, with a shooting period of 30 days and a salary of 30,000 yuan, which is a good price for the actor.

But she needs to join the team as soon as possible and participate in the actor script discussion meeting tomorrow.

This was one of the few good news in recent times. Xu Qingyao wrote down the time and place of the meeting and set an alarm clock for herself two hours in advance.

After Xu Chongshan had left, Xu Qingyao returned to her grandma's ward.

"Yao Yao, are you hungry? There is a lunch box bought by your father on the cabinet." Mrs. Xu asked with concern.

Xu Qingyao picked up the lunch box and took a look at it. She found that there was only rice and green leafy vegetables in it, so she frowned dissatisfied.

"Grandma, did you eat this too?"

"Yes, Chongshan said the food in the hospital was too expensive and he couldn't bear to buy it for himself, so he bought two portions."

Mrs. Xu nodded, feeling sorry for her son who didn't eat and spent money.

And she had no idea that Xu Zhongshan bought two six-yuan box lunches at the entrance of the hospital in order to rush home and have a sumptuous dinner.

Xu Qingyao put the lunch box back casually without exposing Xu Zhongshan's lie, "I'm not hungry yet, grandma. I'll order ward meals for you later, so I won't bother Dad to go out and buy them."

"Ah? How expensive is that? Yaoyao, don't spend your money randomly!" Old Mrs. Xu has saved her whole life and knows how difficult it is to make money, so she hurriedly persuades Xu Qingyao.

Grandma's unabashed concern made Xu Qingyao's eyes warm, "It's only a few hundred yuan a month, so don't worry so much, just rest in peace and recuperate."

"Okay, okay, that's good." Mrs. Xu patted Xu Qingyao's hand, showing a bit of tiredness in her brows.

Xu Qingyao chatted with her for a few more words, and finally coaxed her grandma to fall asleep.

She went to the public bathroom and washed herself briefly, feeling increasingly top-heavy.

Xu Qingyao touched her forehead and it became even hotter.

The sky had become dark, and it was already past the opening hours of the hospital clinic.

Xu Qingyao drank some hot water, lay down on the escort bed early, and wrapped herself tightly in the quilt.

I hope my condition won’t get worse tomorrow morning and don’t delay the actors’ script meeting...

Xu Qingyao was thinking wildly, her vision became increasingly blurry, and she finally fell asleep.,

Xu Qingyao woke up the next day with a pale face. She took care of her grandma to finish the rice porridge, and then hurried to Beijing Film and Television City.

The script discussion meeting is scheduled in the conference hall of the film and television city, and the director, producer and actors will all participate.

Xu Qingyao rushed there as soon as possible, but the meeting never started.

The management temporarily changed the on-site production and asked the crew to postpone the meeting and let all participants wait where they were.

Director Lin Mingxu was so angry that he walked around the conference room and kept swearing.

Bai Taihe, who plays the male lead, and Hu Qi, who plays the female lead, are both actors selected by the management. They both belong to Xinghui Entertainment and are relatively familiar with each other, so they naturally started chatting.

Xu Qingyao was inevitably isolated because she was new to the group and joined the team late.

Fortunately, she didn't care about the actors' superficial social interactions. She just concentrated on reading the script and silently studied the plot in which the female supporting actor appeared.

"Damn it! If the on-site production doesn't come again, I'll quit!" Lin Mingxu had long been impatient with the wait.

This time the investor was wealthy, but extremely disrespectful. Not only did he forcefully decide on the starring role, but he also temporarily changed the on-site producer, causing him to have to re-draw the budget with the chief producer, and then let the new on-site producer go through it.

One-time funding approval process.

The staff looked at each other in confusion, and no one dared to answer Lin Mingxu for fear of touching his breaking point.

It was the unlucky bald actor-director who comforted him, "Director Lin, just wait a moment. The call just now said there was a traffic jam on the road."

"Stop making those useless excuses. If you knew there would be a traffic jam, you should go out early and make me wait for her for so long! I want to see which expert the management has replaced as a producer this time, who can show me such a great prestige

!" Lin Mingxu's anger only increased. He could no longer stand the management this time.

If it weren't for the purpose of saving the start-up capital for a literary film, he wouldn't have to accept this garbage commercial short drama and suffer such birdiness!

Lin Mingxu's directorial ability is extremely strong. The several literary films he made before have been well received internationally and won many film awards. Therefore, he naturally has the arrogance and confidence to angrily criticize the people in the management at will.

The casting director didn't dare to agree with him and continued to persuade, "It's coming soon, I'll make another call to urge you."

"Go quickly! I will only give her the last ten minutes!"

The actor-director nodded and bowed for a while, and after making a phone call in front of Lin Mingxu, he calmed down his anger a little.

Nearly ten minutes later, the new on-site producer finally arrived late.

The door of the conference room was pushed open, and a large number of security personnel poured in. They escorted a long-haired woman with a bulging belly in.

Xu Qingyao looked up and widened her eyes slightly.

The new on-site producer turned out to be Zeng Yan, Gu Peiran’s first love and cheating partner...

Their eyes crossed in the air, and Zeng Yan raised the corners of his mouth and smiled like a winner at Xu Qingyao.

"Sorry, everyone. I just went to the hospital, and there was a traffic jam on the way here." Zeng Yan said, and deliberately touched his stomach with his hand.

"Sister Zeng! The new on-site producer is actually you!" The actors who played the male and female protagonists gathered around in surprise, welcoming Zeng Yan to join in a grandiose tone.

Xu Qingyao, on the other hand, did not move in her seat, with a cold expression.

If it weren't for this job, she couldn't wait to leave the meeting right now. Let alone let her talk to the mistress, it would be better to kill her directly!

Seeing that the new on-site producer was a pregnant woman, Lin Mingxu couldn't get angry and irritate her, so he could only suppress his anger and said, "Hello, I am director Lin Mingxu. I didn't expect that the producer replaced by the management turned out to be a pregnant woman."

"Director Lin, I have long admired my name. I am producer Zeng Yan." Zeng Yan walked up and stretched out his right hand, "I'm sorry to trouble you."

Lin Mingxu faked a few smiles and reluctantly shook hands.

The scene was temporarily harmonious, and Zeng Yan explained the reason for changing producers, "It's all my fault. I didn't want to give up my job just because I was pregnant. My boss Gu was so frustrated by me that he let me join our company."

This crew."

My Mr. Gu...

Zeng Yan’s words are thought-provoking. Most of the people present are employees of Xinghui Entertainment, and the big boss of this company is the ‘Mr. Gu’ in Zeng Yan’s words.
