Chapter 133 was a load of rubbish.
Chapter 133 was a load of rubbish.
Huo Yunting's eyes visibly darkened, making them impossible to ignore.
Xie Qing smiled faintly, and her hands, which had been "messing around" with Huo Yunting's face, turned to cup his face, leaned closer, and like a butterfly gently landing on a flower, placed a kiss on the corner of his lips.
"Compensation for you."
Huo Yunting wasn't about to give up. He leaned closer and murmured in a coquettish tone, "I want more."
The words were still lingering in the air when a sudden knock on the door sounded.
A sly glint flashed in Xie Qing's eyes, and a gloating smile curled at the corners of her lips as she drawled, "Looks like it's not going to work out~"
He glanced deliberately at the doorway and asked with a smile, "Aren't you going to call anyone in?"
Huo Yunting parted his thin lips slightly, "Go in."
Xu Xingmu pushed open the door and entered, reporting respectfully without looking to the side, "President Huo, President Xiao of Minghui Company has arrived and is waiting in the reception room."
Huo Yunting: "Okay, I understand."
Xu Xingmu left quickly. Xie Qing stood up from the large leather sofa, looked down at Huo Yunting, and said, "Then you go ahead and do your work. I'll go find Sister Ting and hand over the work for the rest of the day."
Huo Yunting slowly stood up, his warm hand gently stroking Xie Qing's face, his tone concerned, "You just got back, aren't you going to rest for a while?"
Xie Qing tilted her head back and rubbed her cheek against his palm like a small animal. "Don't worry, I'll definitely rest if I get tired."
He turned his head and kissed Huo Yunting's palm again, saying, "I'll go downstairs first, I'll be back soon, we'll go home together this afternoon." Huo Yunting then withdrew his hand and replied gently, "Okay."
……
Xie Qing left Huo Yunting's office and went to the floor number sent by Xiang Yiting.
Pushing open the glass door of the tenth-floor coffee shop, Xie Qing immediately spotted Xiang Yiting.
Tao Tao was sitting opposite her.
Tao Tao's face was very red, like a ripe persimmon that had come to life, almost dripping blood, and he wished he could bury his head under the table.
"what's the topic?"
Xie Qing stepped forward and pulled out a chair to sit down.
Tao Tao looked at him like he'd seen a savior, his round almond-shaped eyes lighting up. "Brother Qing, you're here."
Xie nodded in response.
On the other side, Xiang Yiting glanced at Xie Qing's unusually red lips and clicked her tongue teasingly, "Tsk tsk tsk... how long have you two been kissing?"
Xie Qing raised an eyebrow and replied, "It's been quite a while."
There was another round of clicking sounds. Xiang Yiting glanced at Xie Qing and said, "You're the kind of guy who forgets his friends for the sake of a pretty girl."
She had originally driven to the airport this morning to pick up Xie Qing.
Upon arriving at the airport, they were greeted by Huo's assistant, Chu Luo, and the adorable girl in front of them, but Xie Qing was nowhere to be seen.
Worried that Xie Qing would be blocked by fans and unable to get out, Xiang Yiting was just about to get out of the car to check on him when... Xie Qing sent her a message.
[Sister Ting, I'm with Huo Yunting right now. You go to Huo's first, I'll be there shortly.]
Thinking of this, Xiang Yiting chuckled twice and began to bring up old grievances, "Who was it that told me before, 'If you had told me earlier, I would have been standing there waiting for you,' did I not tell you earlier this time?"
Xie Qing touched her nose guiltily, "I already told you."
"This is the second time you've stood me up," Xiang Yiting said. "The first time was because my phone broke, an accident. What happened this time?"
Xie Qing thought for a moment and said, "Sister Ting, just consider it me forgetting my friends for the sake of a pretty face."
Xiang Yiting revealed a "I knew it" expression and coldly uttered two words, "As expected."
Xie Qing smiled helplessly, "Alright, Sister Ting, let's get down to business."
Xiang Yiting immediately got back to work, taking out a thick stack of scripts from a large gray bag. "These are the scripts that the directors handed over. Take a look and see if there are any you like."
Xie Qing flipped through each book for a while, and half an hour later, he decided on a male-oriented script called "Immortal Path".
Xiang Yiting agreed, saying, "The production team for this drama is quite good. Although the director isn't as internationally famous as Lu Sang, he's still very well-known domestically."
Xie Qing flipped through the script again, then finally put it down. "That's it."
Xiang Yiting: "That's it?"
Seeing Xie Qing nod, Xiang Yiting stood up in surprise, placing her hands on the table. "There are over a dozen notebooks here, and you only took a liking to one!!!"
Xie Qing continued to nod, while Tao Tao next to her shuddered in fright.
Xiang Yiting: "..."
She sat back down and lowered her voice, "How about... you pick some more?"
Xie Qing: "Sister Ting, there's only one left to choose from, no need to waste any more time."
Helpless, Xiang Yiting reopened the bag, preparing to stuff the scripts back in.
Her gaze inadvertently swept over and she noticed a script left inside. She picked it up and said, "There's one left here."
Xie Qing said, "Let me see."
Xiang Yiting handed over the script, saying, "Here, take it."
Xie Qing glanced at it casually, but her eyes were instantly drawn to the story inside. Her eyes were full of surprise and certainty, and she couldn't wait to say, "Sister Ting, there's also this script. I want to act in it."
Xiang Yiting's eyes widened. "Are you serious?"
“It really can’t be truer!”
Xiang Yiting said, "I've never even heard of the director who wrote this script. He's probably a newcomer, so there's a high chance it will flop."
Moreover, when they handed me this script, they told me that the production budget was insufficient, so the actors' salaries were also low. "You still want to act in it?"
Xie Qing's gaze was firm. "I have to act."
"Alright, I trust your judgment."
Ultimately, Xie Qing settled on a TV series called "The Immortal Path" and a movie called "Like a Dream".
Xiang Yiting added these to Xie Qing's itinerary and then sent the complete itinerary to Xie Qing.
"You'll be extremely busy for the next month or so. You have four endorsement shoots to do tomorrow, a business collaboration the day after, and an offline brand event the day after that... In short, you'll be so busy you won't have a moment to breathe. Can you handle it?"
“You’ve just gotten back, why don’t you rest for a few days first? I’ll postpone all of this.”
Xie Qing shook her head, "No need, Sister Ting, let's leave it at that for now."
Xiang Yiting always prioritized Xie Qing's wishes, so she didn't say anything more after hearing what he said.
She took out her phone and sent Xie Qing's schedule to Boss Huo, along with a brief explanation.
Xie Qing's voice suddenly rang out from behind her, "Sister Ting, what are you doing?"
Xiang Yiting was very frank, "Oh, send your schedule to Boss Huo."
Seeing Xie Qing's strange expression, she couldn't help but ask, "Why are you looking at me like that?"
Very scary.
Xie Qing asked, "Sister Ting, when did you start sending him my schedule?"
Xiang Yiting replied subconsciously, "From the moment I entered Zhaixing."
She realized what was happening and asked in surprise, "You...you didn't know about this all this time?"
"Boss Huo didn't tell you!!!"
Xie Qing replied with a forced smile, "How could that be? He told me."
That's a load of rubbish.
