QWAPMP Chapter 28
by VolareSong Xi pursed his lips, suppressing a smile. Qiao Xin seemed to suddenly think of something, his expression changing slightly. “You went to President Yan’s room last night to talk about this, right?”
“That’s right!” Why else would he go to President Yan’s room if not to talk about this?
Seeing that Song Xi’s eyes were clear and bright, and he was in an excited state, not looking like he had been bullied, Qiao Xin secretly felt relieved. He put on a smile again and asked him how he managed to get the Baosen endorsement from President Yan.
Song Xi told him truthfully, laughing and sighing, “It’s a good thing you always tell me to take care of my skin.”
The entertainment industry is a place where looks matter, especially for those popular artists. Although Song Xi isn’t a popular artist yet, Qiao Xin had him pay attention to this early on.
As soon as he said this, Brother Qiao’s smiling expression suddenly became serious. “It’s two o’clock! Staying up late is bad for your skin, you can’t stay up late now, hurry up and go to sleep!”
Song Xi was pushed back into bed. Qiao Xin also helped him turn off all the lights in the room and took his phone away at the same time, worried that he would scroll through it if he couldn’t sleep later.
However, it was precisely because his phone was taken away that Song Xi was able to fall asleep before three o’clock.
The next day, Song Xi was clearly in a good mood, as if he had forgotten about being threatened by Chu Hui’s sugar daddy at the hotel. He acted as if nothing had happened, and even found Chu Hui much more tolerable than usual.
“What brand of cosmetics is this?”
Chu Hui’s triumphant voice came from the makeup area. Song Xi had just finished his makeup and was about to leave when he heard the makeup artist explaining the brand of cosmetics to Chu Hui.
“As long as it’s not cosmetics from those small workshops, that’s fine. After all, I still have an endorsement from a big brand, my face can’t have any problems.”
Hearing this, the makeup artist secretly rolled her eyes while Chu Hui was holding a mirror to look at herself. She was a makeup artist with professional ethics and wouldn’t use garbage cosmetics on artists. Wouldn’t that ruin her own skills?
Chu Hui deliberately showed off in front of Xu Xuecai, her voice deliberately not lowered, successfully attracting Xu Xuecai to look at her.
“Exactly, just saying, a few days ago I heard that an artist missed a good endorsement because they had problems with their face,” Xu Xuecai said sarcastically, her gaze not as friendly as before.
Xu Xuecai and Fan Sen share the same agent, so she naturally knew that Fan Sen was originally favored by the person in charge of Baosen but suddenly lost the opportunity to endorse Baosen due to problems with his face.
With this sarcasm, she also hoped in her heart that Chu Hui’s face would end up like Fan Sen’s.
As long as it hasn’t been officially announced, anyone could still become the Baosen spokesperson.
Chu Hui chuckled twice. “Thank you, Sister Xu, for the reminder. Then I need to take even better care of my skin and maintain this face recently!”
Xu Xuecai changed her clothes, and after calming down, she called out Song Xi’s name with a smile, deliberately ignoring Chu Hui.
“Xiao Xi, don’t we have a scene at noon? How about we run through the lines first!”
Seeing Xu Xuecai suddenly smiling gently at him, Song Xi looked up from his script and saw Chu Hui’s sarcastic look behind Xu Xuecai. He immediately understood what was happening and nodded.
Throughout the day, Xu Xuecai approached Song Xi multiple times, giving him pointers on his acting. Although Song Xi appeared grateful, he was clear as a mirror in his heart.
If Xu Xuecai were truly a helpful senior, she wouldn’t have stood by last night when faced with the deliberate bullying from Chu Hui and her sugar daddy.
Her choice to try and get close to him now was simply because Chu Hui was at odds with him.
Although everyone had their own thoughts, thankfully, no one deliberately messed up each other’s scenes during filming. Everyone wanted to gain more popularity through Director Qiao’s drama.
Yan Ye watched from the periphery of the filming location. Seeing Song Xi’s serious attitude towards acting, he couldn’t help but smile slightly.
As long as he had resources at hand, he believed that Song Xi would soon be able to achieve his dream of becoming famous.
Time flew by, and a month passed in a flash. On this day, Yan Ye received an invitation card, it was for the Meng family’s banquet. It was also the first time the male supporting character drugged Mengzhou, but it wasn’t successful.
Yan Ye had no intention of going. Instead, he had his secretary prepare a gift and send someone to deliver it. For the Meng family, this was already showing great respect.
Naturally, the Song family would be invited to the Meng family banquet. However, this time Song Xi was in C City. Whether the drugging succeeded or not, he had no opportunity, because on this day, Yan Ye cancelled all his arrangements and personally arrived in C City.
Director Qiao’s drama filming went very smoothly. In less than three months, it was almost finished, and now they were starting the promotion.
As soon as you open a popular video website in the country, you can see some exciting clips.
Song Xi and Chu Hui are a pair of bickering lovers in the drama, and there are often hilarious famous scenes.
This also made most people think it was a lighthearted comedy.
Little did they know, this pair of bickering lovers in the drama both sacrificed themselves for their country. The female lead eventually roamed the jianghu (martial world), and the male lead ascended the throne and became a lonely ruler.
This was a tragedy, but it started as a comedy.
When Yan Ye arrived, Song Xi had just climbed up from a pile of prop arrows. His dirty face broke into a somewhat silly smile the moment he saw him.
The messy film set simulated a dangerous city that had experienced war. On the ground were countless arrows and the bodies of the soldiers played by extras.
These all seemed to have existed in reality.
Song Xi got out of character and ran to the director, saying something unknown. The director’s next shot then turned to Xu Xuecai and the others, while Song Xi was already running towards the Porsche Cayenne parked outside the film set.
Yan Ye wore sunglasses, his hands in his suit pants pockets, standing beside the Porsche. His height of one meter eighty-nine was enough to make others appear short in comparison.
For example, Song Xi, who is only one meter seventy-five tall. It was fine when he was leaning against the car body, but when he stood up straight, he was almost a head taller than Song Xi.
Song Xi was running quite fast and only changed from a run to a walk as he approached Yan Ye.
Before he could greet Yan Ye, a phone rang abruptly.
“Hello.” Song Xi looked at the caller’s name in the notes and didn’t hesitate.
Yan Ye glanced at his phone screen and saw the two words ‘Mama’.
He was a little surprised and subtly raised an eyebrow.
Song Xi turned his back to him, covering his phone and talking on the side.
“I’m not in A City, what’s wrong, Mama?”
After Song Xi said this, there was a long silence. He didn’t know what was said on the other end of the phone, but Song Xi’s voice was almost gritted, and he was suppressing his anger while being sarcastic.
“I’m also part of the family. Since Mengzhou invited our whole family to the banquet, how can I be left out? Mama, don’t you agree?”
Hearing this, Yan Ye could roughly guess what was going on. Without listening further, he opened the car door and sat in the driver’s seat, waiting for the young man on the phone.
The call ended quickly. Yan Ye thought the young man would get in the car on his own accord, but he didn’t expect Song Xi to just stand there holding his phone, his face so pale he looked like he was about to cry.
Yan Ye rolled down the window and took off his sunglasses. “Aren’t you getting in? Do you want your boss to open the car door for you personally?”
The teasing yet not serious voice brought Song Xi back to his senses. “No need, I’ll open it myself!”
Opening the car door and sitting in the familiar seat, Song Xi was a half-beat slow when he lowered his head to find the seatbelt. His pale face finally regained a trace of color.
“Still need help?” Yan Ye turned his head to ask, holding the steering wheel with one hand and pulling out a box of strawberry-flavored mints from a drawer.
Song Xi was both awkward and embarrassed, hating himself for being drunk last time. How could he have been so possessed? Just because he saw Song Muhan had someone help him fasten his seatbelt, he also wanted someone to help him.
If Yan Ye hadn’t been there, Song Xi would have wanted to hit his own head.
Seeing that the person was no longer troubled by the previous emotions, Yan Ye’s mouth curved into a smile. He put a strawberry-flavored mint in his mouth and offered one to the annoyed young man next to him.
Song Xi shook his head and mumbled thanks.
Yan Ye put the mints back where they were and only said after a while, “The strawberry-flavored mints are quite tasty!”
Song Xi’s eyes widened with curiosity. He wanted to see the packaging of the mints.
Does President Yan eat candy too? And strawberry-flavored?
What brand of candy is that? He’ll buy some to try next time.
While Song Xi was still secretly looking at the mints, Yan Ye pretended not to see and asked about the progress of his filming.
“I have two more scenes to shoot next month and then it’ll be finished,” Song Xi said truthfully. Hearing President Yan talk about work matters, he straightened his posture and no longer stared at the box of mints.
“Do you miss home?” Yan Ye asked seemingly casually, his lips curving into a gentle smile.
Song Xi silently lowered his head and thought of the man’s voice from the phone call just now.
“It’s the same whether he comes back or not, didn’t I tell you not to call and ask him?”
“Shh, what are you doing? I haven’t hung up yet!”
“Xiao Xi, are you still listening? Your dad didn’t mean it like that just now…”
Song Xi hung up the phone himself. At that moment, he had an impulse to go back and tell everyone that he was the eldest young master of the Song family, not some distant relative.
“Can I go back?” Song Xi asked in a low voice, sounding like he was talking to himself!
He often acted impulsively, but this time, Song Xi thought a lot.
This drama was about to finish filming. What if he went back now, wouldn’t everything be in vain, and also Baosen!
He couldn’t cause trouble as recklessly as before!
President Yan was the investor and also his boss. Song Xi felt guilty asking this question.
“Don’t you want the Baosen endorsement anymore?” Yan Ye asked with a chuckle, the smile in his eyes much colder than before.
Even if it meant threatening him, he wouldn’t let Song Xi attend that Meng family banquet.
As long as the plot doesn’t follow what is written in the Book of Reincarnation, then Song Xi’s identity as the villainous male supporting character will never be confirmed.
Song Xi suddenly turned his head, pursing his lips and glaring fiercely at him. “Since President Yan won’t let me go back, why did you ask if I miss home?”
Honestly, he had almost forgotten that unpleasant phone call.
Yan Ye glanced at him with a half-smile, a low chuckle escaping his throat. His hand went to open the drawer again to get the mints.
Song Xi pouted, not knowing what he was laughing at. Feeling emotional, he said, “I want a mint too!”
“Didn’t you say you don’t like them?” Yan Ye asked, taking one out. “Open your mouth.”
Song Xi let out an “ah”. By the time he realized why he was supposed to open his mouth, there was an extra mint in it. The taste of mint and strawberry mixed together, and a refreshing minty flavor spread throughout his mouth.
This really cleared his head, and the anger in his heart subsided a little.
“When did I say I don’t like them?” Song Xi muttered, then couldn’t help but chew the candy in his mouth.
He just didn’t want to eat one just now, it’s not that he doesn’t like them.
