“Zu, Qi.” Without the outsiders around, Zhou Yan made no secret of his ferocity and hostility. He chewed Zu Qi’s name as if he was chewing Zu Qi’s flesh and blood.
But Zu Qi laughed lightly: “Brother Zhou, there is an old saying that don’t put all your eggs in one basket. If you hadn’t put all your hopes on Tang Moning last year, you wouldn’t be where you are today, right?
“You have the nerve to say that, you came to harm me on purpose, right?” Zhou Yan was overwhelmed by anger, and Zu Qi’s calm smile made his eyes hurt, so he rolled up his sleeves in excitement.
Unexpectedly, halfway through the swing of his fist, Xiao Dengzi, who suddenly stood in the middle, stretched out his hand to hold it.
Although Xiao Dengzi was only 1.7 meters tall, he was surprisingly strong. He stood in front of Zhou Yan like a strong mountain, and he squeezed Zhou Yan’s fist so hard that it seemed like it was about to break it and he couldn’t even break free.
Zhou Yan’s whole face turned blue from the pain, but Xiao Dengzi in front of him still had a simple and honest smile on his face. He suggested seriously: “Brother Zhou, we are in the company. If you have something to say, say it, but please don’t do anything.”
“You, are you taking action against me? Let me go!” Zhou Yan was so angry that he almost fainted and couldn’t help but growl in a low voice.
Only then did Xiao Dengzi realize what he was doing and hurriedly let go of his hand. Seeing Zhou Yan suddenly retracting his hand, and tears coming out of his eyes from the pain, he couldn’t help scratching his head and saying innocently and apologetically: “I’m sorry, Brother Zhou, did I do something wrong? Did I hurt you?”
“…”
Zhou Yan found that he and Xiao Dengzi couldn’t communicate normally, and he would be really pissed off if he kept talking, so he closed his mouth with an angry look on his face and stared at Zu Qi with evil eyes.
Zu Qi saw that the time was almost up, so he called Xiao Dengzi and left together, without looking at Zhou Yan again from beginning to end.
Xiao Dengzi responded in a low voice, and then followed Zu Qi silently, burying his head dejectedly, looking like he was not very interested.
After walking out of the company door, Zu Qi discovered Xiao Dengzi’s situation and couldn’t help laughing. He patted Xiao Dengzi on the shoulder and said, “If you want to go to Sister Hui’s place, I will go and talk to Sister Hui.”
Xiao Dengzi was suddenly startled when he heard this, and then shook his chubby head like a rattle. Then he waved his hands hurriedly: “No, no, no, I don’t want to go… It’s not that Sister Hui is not good, but I still want to come back to you.”
Zu Qi said, “Now that you are back, why are you still frowning?”
Xiao Dengzi was silent for a long time. Just when Zu Qi was thinking about changing the topic, he saw Xiao Dengzi suddenly become emotional. He sobbed twice, his eyes and nose turned red at the same time, and tears rolled out of his eyes uncontrollably.
“I’m sorry, Brother Qi. I’m really sorry, I betrayed you.” Xiao Dengzi sobbed, crying like a child weighing more than 200 pounds.
Zu Qi felt both angry and funny. So, he stepped forward and hugged Xiao Dengzi, patted him hard twice on the back, and said comfortingly in the tone that he used to coax Xue Wanwan: “Okay, okay, I didn’t say anything. Why are you still crying? It seems that you can’t help but cry if I don’t scold you.”
Xiao Dengzi struggled out of Zu Qi’s arms, his head almost buried in his collar, and he said with a cry, his voice sounding pitiful: “Brother Qi, you can scold me, I’m sorry for you.”
Zu Qi sighed, held Xiao Dengzi’s shoulders with both hands, and said seriously: “Xiao Dengzi, you haven’t done anything wrong these days. It was hard to help me when it was time, and besides, you can’t stand by me without your job. It won’t do me any good. As long as you don’t add insult to injury, it will be the greatest help to me.”
Xiao Dengzi looked up at Zu Qi and cried. He chirped and shouted: “Brother Qi, you are such a good person.”
Zu Qi: “…can I refuse this good person card?”
Xiao Dengzi couldn’t hold back and burst into laughter.
After finally comforting Xiao Dengzi, who was still an older child, Zu Qi gave him the contact numbers and WeChat messages of the guidance assistant and field staff.
The crew would start filming the day after tomorrow, and everyone had been rushing to the film and television city one after another in the past two days. Zu Qi could not handle everything alone, so Xiao Dengzi still had a lot of work that needed him to work overtime in order to be completed.
After the communication, Zu Qi took a taxi back to Xue house. On the way, he unexpectedly received a call from Wang Zhongmou’s assistant, saying that Zhou Yan’s business ability was not good enough and Zu Qi had been assigned to another agent.
Zu Qi was not surprised and said okay lightly.
The assistant added: “Mr. Duan Kai will contact you today, and your future work and schedule will be rearranged by Mr. Duan Kai. If you have any problems during the running-in period, you can call me and I will report to Mr. Wang.”
“Okay…” Before Zu Qi finished speaking, he suddenly reacted, sat up straight and asked nervously, “You mean Duan Kai? Isn’t he from Yuda?”
The assistant said: “Duan Kai’s contract with Yuda Group ended two months ago, and now he has signed a new contract with our company, so you can rest assured and follow him.”
How could Zu Qi be relieved?
Because this Duan Kai was the manager of the heroine Yu Meitong, and he also played a great help in Yu Meitong’s subsequent acting career. It could be said that he was one of the many divine assists for the heroine.
After hearing these words, Zu Qi could no longer calm down.
“What about Yu Meitong?” Zu Qi asked, “Duan Kai just left Yu Meitong alone?”
At first, the assistant didn’t want to answer too much, but then he thought that Zu Qi and Yu Meitong had a good relationship on Weibo, and tomorrow, the hidden things would no longer be secrets, so he replied: “Yu Meitong is also coming.”
Zu Qi: “…”
In other words, he and Yu Meitong would be colleagues from now on.
The chance of them meeting would skyrocket.
The plot changed so quickly that Zu Qi felt that his heart couldn’t bear it. He turned pale and covered his chest. It took him a while to recover from the shock.
Maybe this was fate…
Zu Qi felt the deep malice of the author and the original plot.
On the other side.
After Liu Huishan finished her day’s work, it was already ten o’clock at night when she got home.
She lay on the soft sofa, rubbing her eyebrows but recalling the bad things that happened during the day, she still felt angry. After thinking about it, she picked up her mobile phone and dialed Liu Jing’s number.
After waiting for a while, Liu Jing answered the phone.
Liu Huishan complained to Liu Jing and disparaged Zhou Yan from head to toe.
Liu Jing smiled and asked Liu Huishan to calm down and not punish herself for other people’s mistakes. If she was too angry, she would get wrinkles. Then she asked: “Who is the junior you are talking about? He is really brave. If I were him, maybe I won’t have the guts to come and ask you for someone alone.”
“Do you know Zu Qi?” Liu Huishan said as she picked up the cup of lemonade on the coffee table. “It’s the Zu Qi who married Xue’s eldest son Xue Jue a while ago. It was on trending searches every now and then, and everyone knew about it.”
Liu Huishan thought that Liu Jing was a fashion magazine editor and must be well aware of the trends in the entertainment industry, but the other party suddenly became silent after listening to her words.
“Liu Jing?” Liu Huishan said with a smile, “It doesn’t matter if you don’t know him. He doesn’t have many representative works, so maybe he’s not in your attention range.”
“Huishan…” Liu Jing took a deep breath and waited until her emotions calmed down before speaking slowly, “Remember the apples I told you? Those apples were given to me by Zu Qi.”
Liu Huishan, who was drinking water, paused suddenly, then put down the cup and coughed violently.
“What the f**k?” Liu Huishan swore in shock, “The person you were talking about was actually Zu Qi?! Why didn’t you tell me earlier!”
Thinking that she missed the good opportunity to chat with Zu Qi today, Liu Huishan regretted until her intestines were turning green, and she wished she could immediately travel back to the daytime and ask for Zu Qi’s mobile phone number and WeChat account. It would be best to have dinner together to exchange feelings.
But it was too late…
Liu Huishan looked sad, raised her hand and touched the fine lines at the corners of her eyes, and suddenly felt a sense of despair that the sky was falling.
Liu Jing on the phone was also frustrated: “If I had known that you and Zu Qi would meet today, I would have refused all my work and followed you to your company.”
After that, the two sad women sighed simultaneously.
