Huh? Are villainous bosses this easy to flirt with?

Chapter 67 It tastes like shit

After arriving at the hotel, Xie Qing sent a message to Xiang Yiting.

[Sister Ting, I'm off work.]

A few minutes later, the other party called back, pulling Xie Qing back from the step she was about to take into the bathroom.

"Hey, Sister Ting."

"Xie Qing, something's come up at the company, so I probably won't be able to go to the film set for a while. I'll find you an assistant here at the company!"

Xie Qing immediately refused, saying, "Sister Ting, no need, Assistant Chu is here."

Upon hearing the words "Assistant Chu," a question mark slowly appeared on Xiang Yiting's mind.

Who is this Assistant Chu?

After thinking for a while, oh! It's Chu Luo, the assistant next to Boss Huo.

She remembered that it was that assistant who handed her her her contract for joining Zhaixing.

Xiang Yiting was relieved. After all, someone who could be selected as the president's assistant at Huo's Group must be more capable than the average person.

"That's good, then I'm relieved. You should get some rest. I'll hang up now."

As soon as she hung up the phone, Xiang Yiting exclaimed in surprise that Boss Huo had actually sent his assistant to the film set!

It seems this relationship is not just a fling; it's very likely that it's headed towards marriage.

She was immediately delighted; rounding up, choosing Xie Qing as an artist was practically like hooking up with a golden thigh.

In her hotel room, Xie Qingshu took a comfortable shower and then picked up her phone to send a video call request to Huo Yunting.

Shortly after, the video call connected.

The screen first flashed a scene of the study, and then Huo Yunting's figure appeared on the screen.

He was still wearing those familiar gold-rimmed glasses, his eyes behind the lenses deep and focused, his long, slender fingers with distinct knuckles holding a pen, as if he were working.

"get off work."

A deep, magnetic voice came from the phone.

Xie Qingqing nodded and asked him, "Tingting, why aren't you asleep yet?"

"I can't sleep, I'm waiting for your call."

Huo Yunting slightly raised his head, his gaze towards the screen filled with a unique affection—a focus that belonged only to Xie Qing.

Xie Qing teased him deliberately, a slight smile playing on her lips, "So if I don't video call, you won't go to sleep?"

Huo Yunting nodded without hesitation, looking very serious. "Okay, I'm not going to sleep."

Xie Qing felt as if her heart had been gently struck by a soft cotton ball, and her eyes involuntarily softened.

He said softly, "Now that you've seen me, you should go to sleep."

Seeing the change in the screen's perspective, Xie Qing knew he was heading towards the bedroom.

Xie Qing also crawled into bed and lay on her side.

After a while, Huo Yunting's voice rang out again.

"How are you doing on set? Are you settling in well?"

Xie Qing thought for a moment, then slowly began, "The crew members are all very nice. Although Director Lu often scolds people, his dedication and responsibility when he works are truly admirable. And Sister Jiang, she's a really good screenwriter..."

As he spoke, he involuntarily yawned.

The drowsiness surged towards him like the rising tide, wave after wave.

Sleepiness was creeping into his head, and his eyes gradually narrowed into slits.

Even so, he still struggled to maintain his somewhat dazed state of mind, and with a slightly nasal tone, he whispered, "I miss you a little."

Huo Yunting's lips, which had been tightly pressed together, now rippled slightly like the surface of a lake touched by a spring breeze, curving into a beautiful arc. "Me too, gently."

He looked at the drowsy person on the screen and softly said, "Sleep peacefully, goodnight."

"Good night."

*

Time flies, the years are like a shuttle.

Xie Qing had already been on set for a month.

For a month, Xie Qing contacted her lover every night, but they could only exchange a few words each time.

Xie Qing was so tired that sometimes she would fall asleep while talking.

That day, Xie Qing finished her morning filming and was eating when Liang Shun, who was on the other side, came over after smelling the food.

That's right, Liang Shun also joined the cast, replacing Shi Qi in the role of the fourth male lead.

He joined the crew only two days later than Xie Qing.

In fact, he was able to get into this production crew thanks to Xie Qing.

The day after Shi Qi left, Lu Sang went to ask Xie Qing if he knew anyone who could recommend him.

Xie Qing doesn't know many people here; after thinking about it, she only knows a few from variety shows.

Chen Mo and Fan Qi are definitely not suitable; we need the fourth male lead.

Even if Zuli is a singer, it won't work.

That leaves Liang Shun.

Xie Qing thought Lu Sang was just asking, so he didn't think too much about it and directly mentioned Liang Shun.

To everyone's surprise, Liang Shun appeared on set the very next day, looking exceptionally happy.

Upon seeing Xie Qing, she rushed forward and hugged him, saying that he was her second parents.

Xie Qing: ...

You don't have to.

But for Liang Shun, it was absolutely necessary.

He never imagined he would be filming under Lu Sang's roof in his entire life. If it weren't for Xie Qing, he would never have had this opportunity.

This is Lu San!!!

When he received the news, he was extremely excited, feeling as if he could take off with wings.

Lu Sang, adhering to the principle of "one is influenced by one's company," believed that the people Xie Qing knew must be quite capable.

So when Xie Qing mentioned Liang Shun, he immediately brought him to the film crew.

After watching him perform a play, he realized he had been scammed.

This acting is nowhere near as good as Xie Qing's!

Fortunately, the other party had a good attitude and was willing to learn, which is definitely much better than that guy from Shiqi.

Lu Sang reluctantly accepted it.

Back to the present, as soon as Xie Qing opened the food box, it attracted a swarm of 'bees' looking for food.

First Liang Shun, then the female lead Jiang Lingling, and finally Jiang Nannan.

The three people arrived one after the other, their eyes lighting up as they looked at the half-table of dishes placed in front of Xie Qing.

Xie glanced at the three 'starving ghosts' and smiled helplessly, "Sit down and eat, I can't finish all of this."

Liang Shun rubbed his hands together. "Then I won't stand on ceremony."

Xie Qing: When have you ever been polite?

The four people sat together, enjoying their meal immensely.

As Jiang Lingling ate, she praised, "This food is so delicious, really. After eating this, I suddenly feel like all the boxed lunches I ate before were shit."

The other three paused in their eating and all looked at her.

Xie Qing slowly spoke, "Are you sure you want to talk about that kind of thing while eating?"

Jiang Lingling stuck out her tongue. "Sorry, it was a slip of the tongue."

Just then, a resentful voice rang out from behind Jiang Lingling, "Jiang Lingling, what did you just say!"

Jiang Lingling paused in her eating, then slowly turned around with a pained expression. "Director Lu, hello. Did I... say something just now? No, Director Lu, you must have misheard me."

Lu Sang mercilessly exposed her, "Alright, stop making excuses. I heard you say that the crew's boxed lunches were as bad as shit."

The other three paused again as they shoveled rice into their mouths.

Xie Qing was speechless: When will this ever end!
