Chapter 281 Return to Twenty Years Ago (16)
"I'm sorry." Ji Zeqiu pursed his lips and apologized in a voice as quiet as a mosquito.
But Ji Tingyang was still fanning the flames, "I can't hear what you are talking about."
"I'm sorry." Ji Zeqiu's volume increased a few points.
Ji Tingyang: "Still can't hear it."
Ji Zeqiu gritted his teeth and yelled into the phone, "Ji Tingyang, that's enough!"
Then his voice became aggrieved again, "Mother..."
"Okay, don't You're angry with your brother, don't you call him to talk about something? Let's talk business first," Lin Xu said.
“It’s nothing serious, I just want to say that the noodles for dinner are terrible.” Ji Zeqiu took the opportunity to cry to her.
“Noodles? Did you only eat noodles at night?”
"Yes, father said that you can only eat noodles when you are not at home, so when will you come back?"
Ji Zeqiu sold the seasonal banquet gift without hesitation.
Lin Xu frowned and said angrily: "Really, even if he likes to drink, how can he let you starve too? I will call him later."< br>
Ji Zeqiu chatted with Lin Xu for more than ten minutes, until Ji Lanyue made a fuss about going outside to play, and the call ended.
The next day.
Ji Zeqiu had a lot of filming to do today, so he got up early and drove to the set.
At this time, there are already many staff members in the crew setting up the set.
Ji Zeqiu walked to the dressing room as usual, and saw Shen Qingtang and another actor at the corner of a staircase.
"As long as you are willing to stay with me for one night, I will give you one hundred thousand yuan, how about it?" The man approached Shen Qingtang and reached for her waist with his palm.
Shen Qingtang turned pale with fright and quickly ducked to the side, "You'd better go find someone else."
When she first debuted, she heard that there were some unspoken rules in the industry, but she didn't expect that she actually encountered them.
“One hundred thousand yuan is enough for you to play a bit part many times, right? Then I will recommend you to a few directors. It is not difficult to play one or two heroines. Or are you willing to just be one? A walk-on?" The man continued to seduce her.
"I...I will work hard for it myself."
"Don't be kidding, how can you fight for it without some connections?" The man sneered coldly, "And I heard that you are not Are you short of money? One hundred thousand yuan a night should be a good deal, right?”
The word money immediately caught Shen Qingtang’s weakness.
Grandma's treatment costs tens of thousands of yuan a day. If she delays any longer, the hospital will most likely stop treating her.
For grandma...
She bit her lips tightly, her teeth leaving deep marks on her lips. Her eyes were full of struggle, and the balance in her heart was towards money. Tilt a little.
The man seemed to notice the relaxation in Shen Qingtang's expression, and his eyes suddenly lit up. He slowly grabbed her hand and gently rubbed it with his fingertips, "It doesn't have to be just one night, as long as you are willing to stay. By my side, I can give you whatever money you want."
Shen Qingtang lowered his eyes, which became dull.
She opened her mouth, and just as she was about to speak, a deep and pleasant voice sounded in her ears.
"Shen Qingtang, the director is looking for you."
Shen Qingtang's heart tightened, and he immediately pulled his hand back after seeing Ji Zeqiu, his eyes panicked.
Did he see it?
What would he think of herself?
Thinking of this, the color on her face suddenly receded, and even her voice was tinged with nervous trembling, "I, I'll go right away..."
Shen Qingtang left in a panic.
The man seemed to be very unhappy with Ji Zeqiu's interruption and clicked his tongue. Ji Zeqiu raised his eyes and glanced at the man with a pair of sharp eyes, "I don't care if you want to influence other people's ideas, but don't touch Shen Qingtang."
The man raised his eyebrows with a tone of voice. With a hint of teasing, "What? Do you also have a crush on her?"
Ji Zeqiu looked at him and said, "She is my friend."
The granddaughter of his mother's friend can still be considered his friend.
After saying that, he turned and left here.
Shen Qingtang's expression was in a daze and her pace was much slower. Ji Zeqiu quickly caught up with her.
“Don’t go, the director didn’t call you, I was just talking nonsense.”
Shen Qingtang paused in his steps and looked very ugly, "So that's it..."
He indeed saw what happened just now.
"I have already paid for your grandma's hospitalization fee. If you want to agree to him for this reason, you don't have to." Ji Zeqiu said.
Shen Qingtang's eyes suddenly widened and he was stunned for a while, "You paid for me? Why?"
"If I knew about your grandma and ignored it, my mother would definitely scold me. Me." Ji Zeqiu said.
Moreover, his mother always whispered in his ears when he was a child, saying that when he grows up, he should be a good boy who is willing to help others.
Just think of him as doing good deeds every day.
"Is that so..." So it was because his mother and grandma were friends?
Shen Qingtang felt an indescribable loss in his heart, "Thank you, I will return the money to you as soon as possible."
"Don't worry, I will pay you back when you have money. I'll do it." Ji Zeqiu said, "By the way, I've already set a time with the director for the script I gave you last time. Just go and audition it this Friday."
Ji Zeqiu had arranged almost everything for her, and no one had ever treated her like this before.
Shen Qingtang looked at his sharp profile profile, her heartbeat accelerated uncontrollably, as violent as a drum, as if her heart was about to jump out of her throat.
……
A week flies by.
In a blink of an eye, it was time for Lin Xu to return from his trip.
During the phone call last night, Ji Zeqiu heard that Lin Xu had brought him a gift, so as soon as today's announcement was over, he couldn't wait to go to the airport to pick him up.
Perhaps because I was in a hurry, I collided with a girl at the airport.
With apology in his eyes, Ji Zeqiu hurriedly helped the girl up from the ground, "I'm sorry, I was in a hurry and ran too fast and bumped into you. Are you okay?"
The girl scratched her head. With dust on his clothes, he looked up at him and said, "I was walking too fast just now and didn't look at the road. I'm sorry."
However, after seeing the girl's cheek again, Ji Zeqiu's expression was obviously stunned for a moment.
This man's face is actually somewhat similar to Shen Qingtang's cheeks.
Could it be her sister?
But Ji Zeqiu just thought about it for a moment, and after confirming that she was fine, he was ready to leave.
Due to this delay, before Ji Zeqiu went to pick up Lin Xu and the others, the three of them saw him first with their luggage.
"Second brother!" Ji Lanyue's energetic voice sounded, and all the large and small bags on her body were stuffed into his arms, "Hurry and help me get it, I'm dead."
< br>
"You brought a girl with you to pick us up? Could it be your girlfriend?" Lin Xu teased, then looked at the girl.
The next moment, her pupils tightened.
Warm pears?
