"You were on the phone with a man just now, and your face was almost rotten when you smiled." Gu Yunyun became more and more confident the more she spoke, "I warn you that if you dare to cheat, neither my brother nor the Gu family will let you go!"

Xu Qingyao rolled her eyes and ignored her.

Gu Yunyun didn't realize that she had exposed the fact of eavesdropping, so she continued to say harshly, "I didn't eavesdrop on your phone call anyway, so you should stop spewing nonsense."

"Whatever you say." Xu Qingyao was too lazy to waste any more time with her, waved perfunctorily at Gu Yunyun, and got into a passing taxi.

Gu Yunyun was left alone, jumping angrily on the spot.

Xu Qingyao first went back to Qiao Xiaorui's house, changed into some decent clothes, and put on simple makeup.

She had just had a fever, so her face looked a little ugly, so she chose a brick-red lipstick to brighten her complexion.

While she was applying lipstick, the door opened in the living room, and Qiao Xiaorui came back with a sad face.

"Why do you look worse than me?" Xu Qingyao asked with concern.

Qiao Xiaorui wailed and fell back on the sofa like a salted fish, "Don't mention it!!! Brother Guo is really amazing today! Absolutely amazing!!!"

Brother Guo is Qiao Xiaorui's manager. He was the one who called Qiao Xiaorui away from the hospital just now, saying that the company had an emergency and would hold an impromptu casting meeting.

"He criticized you for being overweight again today?" Xu Qingyao walked over and rubbed her hair.

Qiao Xiaorui always loses control of her mouth and eats too much staple food. Every time the company measures the actor's body data, she will be scolded by Brother Guo for being overweight.

"No! no! no! This time it's different!" Qiao Xiaorui sighed exaggeratedly, "I was told this time because I was too thin."

"Too thin?" Xu Qingyao raised her eyebrows in surprise.

Brother Guo has been asking Xiaorui to lose weight before, why did he suddenly change his direction?

"I took on the role of a female protagonist in an online drama at the beginning of this year, but the crew had financial problems, and it was delayed until this month to start filming. I went to a meeting today, and the director suddenly changed the plot, requiring the female protagonist to be a fat person, and then filming a weight loss scene.

The plot, I will counterattack and become a goddess in the later stage!"

"Then your weight loss will be in vain?" Xu Qingyao said sympathetically.

As a woman, she feels the same way.

It was painful for Qiao Xiaorui to lose weight before, but now it will be even more uncomfortable to gain weight.

"Yes, and I have to gain 10 pounds to look fat in front of the camera! 10 pounds! What a scary number!!"

Xu Qingyao was even more sympathetic, but the profession of actor is like this. It is often necessary to change one's weight according to the role. Sudden weight gain and weight loss are common.

"When will your movie start shooting? Is there still enough time? How about asking Brother Guo to find a substitute for you?" Xu Qingyao asked.

Qiao Xiaorui sighed again, "The production will start at the end of the month. There will be no time for the substitute to gain weight."

She is still a relatively famous actor, so the company prepared a stuntman for her. However, the stuntman is not a dedicated actor, so there is no way to temporarily arrange for her to change her weight.

Now the problem falls on Qiao Xiaorui. She must successfully gain weight by the end of this month so as not to delay the planning and arrangement of daily scene announcements.

Qiao Xiaorui raised her head, saw Xu Qingyao's beautiful reflection, and suddenly turned over and sat up, "Yao Yao, you are so beautifully dressed, where are you going?"

Xu Qingyao told the truth, "I'm going to attend a primary school class reunion and have a meal at Jingfu Restaurant."

"Jingfu Restaurant..." Qiao Xiaorui recalled and instantly became energetic, "That's the Shandong Cuisine Restaurant!!"

Shandong cuisine is heavy in oil and salt, which is just right for her to gain weight quickly!

"I want to go too!! It's not convenient for you to take me with you!"

Xu Qingyao knew why Qiao Xiaorui would go with her, so she agreed, "I'll ask them. It just so happens that I don't really want to go alone."

She immediately sent a message to Shi Xingzhou, who responded quickly with a Q-version lion nodding expression.

"How is it? How is it? Can I go?" Qiao Xiaorui looked at Xu Qingyao expectantly.

Xu Qingyao didn't care and nodded directly to Qiao Xiaorui. She cheered and hurried into the bathroom to touch up her makeup.

A few minutes later, two beauties with different styles came to the door of Jingfu Restaurant and immediately attracted the attention of passers-by.

"That baby-faced girl looks so familiar, isn't she a celebrity?"

"It's possible that the girl next to her looks like a celebrity. How about we go up and get an autograph?"

The comments from passers-by reached Qiao Xiaorui's ears, and she hurriedly covered her face with her collar, with the words "I'm trying to hide my ears" written all over her face.

She was too anxious to go out and forgot to put on her hat and mask. She might be recognized by fans at any time, so she had to carefully maintain her persona when speaking and doing things.

Xu Qingyao looked calm. Her acting career had just started and she had no such worries at all.

The two waited for a short while and saw Shi Xingzhou striding out of the restaurant.

He was dressed very grandly today, wearing a gray coat and black lining, and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose. He looked very cool.

"Yao Yao, that man who looks like a peacock spreading his tail is your classmate?" Qiao Xiaorui tugged on Xu Qingyao's clothes and asked in a low voice.

Xu Qingyao nodded and did not agree with Qiao Xiaorui's words.

Qiao Xiaorui looked at Shi Xingzhou's face seriously, and nodded in approval, "The handsome guy really has the ability to be charming."

When Shi Xingzhou walked over, he happened to hear the end of her evaluation and tilted his head in confusion, "What capital?"

"Nothing, hello, handsome guy. I'm Xu Qingyao's good friend Xiaorui."

No need for introduction by Xu Qingyao, Qiao Xiaorui, who was already familiar with him, had already approached Shi Xingzhou and stretched out her hand politely.

Shi Xingzhou quickly shook her hand and said, "Hello, my name is Shi Xingzhou, Qingyao's elementary school classmate."

"Oh~" Qiao Xiaorui said in a pointed voice, "So we are colleagues, I am Yaoyao's college classmate."

The two of them shook their hands, as if they regretted seeing each other so late.

Xu Qingyao was amused and patted Qiao Xiaorui on the back to prevent her from continuing to play tricks, "I'm sorry, Xingzhou, I added you as a friend temporarily."

"It's okay, it's okay, the party box is big, you can bring a few friends and they can all fit in it," Shi Xingzhou said.

For this gathering, he specially chose the largest private room in Jingfu Restaurant, which could accommodate thirty people for dinner.

He originally wanted to book the entire restaurant, but he was worried that being too exaggerated would scare Xu Qingyao, so he was forced to give up his original plan.

The three of them were all good-looking, but it was too conspicuous to stand outside, so they briefly chatted and walked into the restaurant together.
