Zu Qi held it in for a long time. Then he mumbled and said: “…They wanted to ask me to buy meditation powder. I said it was off the shelves, but they didn’t believe it. They insisted on giving me money to go to my house to get the product.”
So when the security guards arrived, they saw a group of girls with ferocious expressions as they held up the bright red banknotes in their hands and stuffed them into Zu Qi’s clothes, while asking if it was enough…
Heng Jingchen: “…” After a long silence, he finally couldn’t hold it back and laughed loudly and unkindly. He stood up and patted his thigh while laughing.
“Hahahahahahaha who would have thought that as an actor you could actually sell things and become very popular hahahahahaha, actors who can’t sell things are not good actors hahahahaha…”
An hour later, they arrived at the audition site.
Heng Jingchen’s face was about to freeze with laughter, while Zu Qi’s face was as black as coal.
Zu Qi put the sunglasses, masks and other equipment into his backpack and followed Heng Jingchen into the hotel lobby, instantly attracting the attention of many passers-by.
This five-star hotel was contracted by the crew of “Palace Wall” for a season and was used exclusively as a venue for the audition for roles. Since directors and stars often went in and out of the hotel, the hotel manager had thus specially arranged for more security guards to be on duty in the lobby.
Therefore, even though many people looked at Zu Qi and wanted to make a move, they did not dare to do anything stupid casually.
Heng Jingchen led Zu Qi into the elevator in a familiar way. Seeing that Zu Qi was obviously relieved, he couldn’t help but joke: “No matter where you go, you will meet your loyal buyers.”
Zu Qi smiled bitterly: “The product’s all been taken off the shelves, so how can we talk about buyers?”
“Anyway, it will be on the shelves again next year.” Heng Jingchen grinned, with two shallow pear dimples on his cheeks.
After a pause, Heng Jingchen said again, “But your business is so good, haven’t you ever thought about selling other things? It would be too wasteful to leave such a huge consumer group unused.”
Zu Qi said thoughtfully: “I do want to sell something else.”
“What to sell?”
“Apples.”
After finishing speaking, Zu Qi suddenly remembered that he had brought two apples for Heng Jingchen, and immediately took out the apples from his backpack and stuffed them into Heng Jingchen’s hand, “These apples have the effect of removing acne and nourishing the skin. You can eat it yourself or give it to others.”
Heng Jingchen looked at the big and red apples in his hand in confusion and couldn’t laugh or cry for a moment: “Apples can also remove acne. How to treat acne?”
“You’ll know if you try it.” Zu Qi raised his eyebrows and had no intention of explaining too much.
If Zu Qi had given Heng Jingchen two apples out of nowhere half a year ago, saying that these apples could remove acne and improve his skin, Heng Jingchen’s first reaction would have been to laugh at Zu Qi.
But now, with the example of the meditation powder, Heng Jingchen suddenly couldn’t say anything in doubt.
Before the Jingxin Nourishing Powder came out, Zu Qi gave him a few bags of trial packs. At that time, Heng Jingchen didn’t believe in these things, so he gave them to his bald uncle.
Unexpectedly, only half a month later, his uncle’s originally bright bald head grew thick hair, and even his aunt’s two-month insomnia was cured…
Thoughts were flying in Heng Jingchen’s mind. He looked down at the brightly colored apples in his hands that exuded a refreshing fruity aroma, thinking that this time he would not give away good things foolishly.
He didn’t know if it was Heng Jingchen’s imagination, but when he stepped out of the elevator, he found that Zu Qi’s skin was indeed whiter and smoother than before, and he couldn’t even find any acne marks or other marks under the bright light.
Zu Qi was naturally good-looking. His thick eyelashes were half-closed, covering a pair of sparkling peach blossom eyes. The skin exposed outside his collar had a suet-like texture…
Even though he looked delicate, he was not at all conspicuous or feminine, especially his height of over 1.8 meters, made him look more like a sunny and handsome boy next door.
In fact, just looking at Zu Qi’s external conditions, he was very suitable for joining the entertainment industry, but it was a pity that only his appearance was suitable…
Thinking of Zu Qi’s vase-like acting skills, Heng Jingchen suddenly had a headache.
He hoped the director could take a liking to Zu Qi’s face. Anyway, the role of the second male lead didn’t require much acting skills.
The audition was taking place in a large conference room on the eighth floor. More people had come to the audition than Zu Qi imagined. The benches outside were full of people waiting, and some people even sat directly on the floor.
This was the first time he truly felt this kind of atmosphere. Zu Qi couldn’t help but feel nervous secretly, and at the same time, there was a surge of excitement in his heart that could not be expressed in words.
“If you see Bai Guangjian later, you must try to put on your best performance in front of him.” Heng Jingchen was like an old father worried about his son, with worry written all over his face. “Bai Guangjian is the producer of “Palace Wall”, and his words carry more weight than the director.”
Zu Qi listened quietly to Heng Jingchen’s ramble, the smile on his lips never disappearing.
Heng Jingchen had a scene to shoot in the afternoon and couldn’t stay for too long. After handing Zu Qi to a staff member named Tong, he took the two big apples and prepared to leave.
Zu Qi sent Heng Jingchen to the elevator door, hugged him gratefully, and said, “Jingchen, thank you.”
“We are good buddies. It would be too polite to say thank you.” Heng Jingchen patted Zu Qi hard. Then he encouraged Zu Qi, “Come on, don’t be underestimated. I’m waiting for your good news.”
After seeing off Heng Jingchen, Zu Qi went back to find the staff member named Tong. On the face of it, he was very polite to Zu Qi. He poured him a cup of hot water and asked him to sit in the lounge to wait.
Time passed by, and Zu Qi saw that the staff had not come to call him to come on, so he was ready to read the script.
As a result, not long after opening the script, a child came in carrying a set of dark blue costume robes and asked Zu Qi to change in the fitting room inside.
Zu Qi was not very good at wearing this kind of clothes, so he finally finished changing with the help of a male staff member. When he walked out of the fitting room, people in the lounge looked at him in amazement.
“You look so good dressed like this.” The boy was not shy about his praise.
The child looked back and forth at Zu Qi several times, and the more he looked at him, the more he felt that the person in front of him was very attractive.
He originally randomly picked a dark outfit and stuffed it for Zu Qi, but he didn’t expect that a mediocre outfit could actually shine on Zu Qi.
Zu Qi smiled sheepishly, not knowing how to answer, so he just whispered thank you.
Although Zu Qi’s soul was twenty-six or twenty-seven years old, his body was only nineteen years old, and his voice and smile could not hide the immaturity and shyness of a young man.
The little boy watched Zu Qi’s cheeks gradually turn red with shame, and suddenly the father’s love in his heart overflowed, and he only regretted that he did not have such a cute little brother.
Before, the kid only planned to smear Zu Qi’s face casually, but now he seriously put on makeup and put on a waist-length wig for him – this was a treatment that none of the previous auditioners had.
