Although the quarrel between Zhou Hai and Director Wang had nothing to do with Zu Qi, he was the fuse that ignited the verbal war, so it was inevitable to feel embarrassed when he heard these words.
Fortunately, Zu Qi was a person with strong self-recovery ability. After the assistant director ran over happily, he couldn’t wait to follow him.
When other people in the crew saw this, they were too embarrassed to stay and watch the battle, for fear that Director Wang or Zhou Hai’s anger would accidentally spread to them, so the group of people dispersed like birds and beasts and disappeared in a flash.
Suddenly, only the red-faced Director Wang and Zhou Hai were left on the scene, as well as the planners and screenwriters who tried to break up the fight.
Qiao Yang and his assistants were not there. Director Wang was too lazy to hold Zhou Hai in his palms as usual. After being persuaded by the planner, he waved his hands and left with a pale face, and the others quickly followed behind.
Zhou Hai’s face was gloomy, and he felt even more uncomfortable.
In order to solve Qiao Yang’s eating problem these days, he stayed in the simple kitchen day and night, preparing delicious food for Qiao Yang in various ways, but Qiao Yang couldn’t eat them all, and he didn’t even bother to use the chopsticks.
Seeing Qiao Yang getting haggard day by day, Zhou Hai saw it in his eyes and felt anxious in his heart. His already restless mood suddenly exploded after he learned that the crew had been favoring Zu Qi.
However, now, Zhou Hai got to know that he had misunderstood Director Wang and the crew, as well as Zu Qi. Every word he said when he and Director Wang were arguing just now turned into a loud slap on his face.
At this moment, Zhou Hai only felt a burning pain on his cheek.
He knew that he had embarrassed Zu Qi in front of everyone, and he should apologize to Zu Qi in person, but the pride he always held high above his head prevented him from bowing down.
Zhou Hai was stunned for a long time and decided to go back to the simple kitchen to continue studying recipes.
Just as he turned around, he saw Duan Kai standing behind him with an expressionless face.
Zhou Hai was caught off guard and was startled. For some reason, he suddenly felt guilty and said, “Didn’t Zu Qi’s fans send Japanese food? Why don’t you go and eat it?”
“I was just waiting for you to go with me.” Duan Kai smiled with the corners of his mouth raised, but the smile didn’t reach his eyes.
Zhou Hai shook his head and said, “I’m a little uncomfortable, so I won’t go over. You can enjoy yourself.”
“What’s wrong with you?” Duan Kai took a step closer and said with concern, “I saw you talking to Director Wang. Weren’t you still so energetic? Did you lose your temper so quickly?”
He said it in a somewhat serious tone, seemingly joking.
Zhou Hai was not a fool, so he naturally heard the sarcasm in Duan Kai’s words. His originally unattractive face suddenly sank to the bottom, but he knew that he had no right to be angry, so he said with a straight face: “I really don’t want to go, you go ahead and don’t keep them waiting.”
Duan Kai narrowed his eyes and smiled half-heartedly: “Brother Hai, if you are trying to avoid suspicion about what happened a few minutes ago, then I’ll tell you directly. In fact, there is no need to be so cautious, Zu Qi is simple and short-sighted, and he will not care about such trivial matters.”
Hearing this, Zhou Hai blushed.
He knew that Duan Kai was being sarcastic about his complicated mind, his narrow-mindedness, and his preoccupation with small things.
Zhou Hai felt ashamed and angry for a moment but couldn’t find any suitable words to refute Duan Kai.
Zhou Hai regretted impulsively asking Director Wang for trouble before. He was afraid that he would also have a petty image among the crew in the future.
His bowels were really green with regret.
Zhou Hai did not respond to Duan Kai’s words but chose to leave the scene as if he was running away.
When Duan Kai came to the temporary dining place, the people in the crew were eating Japanese food and chatting. It was very lively. The director bought dozens of steaming cups of milk tea from somewhere, and everyone had a cup.
Zu Qi and Xiao Dengzi specially kept a plate of sushi for Duan Kai and quickly waved him over. Zu Qi patted the rubber chair next to him and handed the plate to Duan Kai. At the same time, he asked doubtfully: “Isn’t Zhou Hai here?”
Duan Kai picked up a piece of sushi with chopsticks and put it into his mouth. After chewing it slowly, he said calmly: “Qiao Yang’s face has been completely humiliated by him. If I were him, I would hide and dare not see anyone.”
Zu Qi: “…”
After hearing these words, he actually felt a little gloating.
It was not surprising that he had such thoughts. Zhou Hai was used to being arrogant and domineering in the crew, and many people didn’t like his character. It would be nice if he could tone down his energy now.
When the crew had dinner, the anorexic actor Qiao, as everyone expected, did not show up from beginning to end. However, the six people he brought came after hearing the news and happily had a sumptuous dinner with everyone.
Afterwards, Director Wang expressed his heartfelt thanks to Zu Qi on behalf of everyone.
Zu Qi was flattered and said hurriedly: “I am just a beneficiary. Speaking of it, the person who really provided this dinner was my fan. Unfortunately, I don’t know his name.”
Xiao Dengzi suddenly remembered something: “By the way, Director Wang, don’t you have the contact number of that fan? Why don’t you give Brother Qi his phone number and let him call and say thank you? You can’t let someone pay for it in vain.”
“….” Director Wang was silent.
Zu Qi was also very curious about the identity of the fan, so he reminded him: “Director Wang?”
“Huh? Oh…” Director Wang suddenly came back to his senses, stretched out his hand to wipe the cold sweat on his forehead, and said calmly, “It’s just a little fan. There’s no need for you to thank him personally, but I will convey this message to him for you.”
Zu Qi: “…”
Anyone who was not stupid knew that a fan who could send things to the crew through Director Wang, would not be a so-called small fan.
Perhaps it was because it was not convenient for that person’s identity to be revealed, so he deliberately told Director Wang not to reveal his identity.
Thinking of this, Zu Qi felt relieved.
But Zu Qi was a little surprised. He didn’t expect that he could have such generous fans. He had to admit that it felt good to be silently cared for by others.
….
Night.
When Zu Qi returned to the hotel after filming, it was already eleven o’clock at night.
After he took a shower, he sat quietly by the bed with his cell phone for a long time. After thinking about it, he still didn’t dial Xue Jue’s phone number.
It was already this time, maybe Xue Jue would have gone to bed long ago.
He didn’t know if he had developed the habit of chatting with Xue Jue before going to bed. But Zu Qi felt a little bit out of habit when he didn’t hear Xue Jue’s voice tonight.
And his heart felt empty, as if something was missing.
