Chapter 150: Don’t ask, asking just means that the world won’t be straight!

Xu Zao Zao was a talented person.

For a talented person, it was only natural that if Yu Ru Bing could dig them out then she would, so as to live up to her career fandom.

Having acted plentiful as a wife, she almost forgot to bestow favor on her career fandom— this was all because of President Tang’s extreme beauty!

Xu Zao Zao looked down at the business card.

The business card had a concise style, clear and simple. Her title as the president of Hua Yao Film and Television and office phone number was written on it.

Xu Zao Zao didn’t know why Yu Ru Bing carried Tang Han Qiu’s business card with her, and why she was able to skillfully fish it out from her pocket. Right now, she was clearly an active idol of Guangying…

Sure enough, was it like what’s shown on the Internet, that her relationship with Tang Han Qiu was really good?

Xu Zao Zao after thinking about it felt that it was quite amazing, one was a diligent and thrifty female university student, and the other was a pampered and spoiled rich noble woman, it sounded like two completely unrelated identity.

However, from every detail that could be seen in Hua Yao’s variety shows, Tang Han Qiu was really good to her, and it wasn’t false either, nor was it putting on a deliberate act, but was absolute genuine real goodness…

Xu Zao Zao could not help asking: “You and President Tang… are you truly very close?”

Yu Ru Bing with bright eyes looked at her, and with a smile yet not a smile said: “Huh?”

“Do you feel it hard to believe?” Yu Ru Bing seemed to have seen through her thoughts, and continued with a slight smile, “How can I, an ordinary person be connected with the daughter of a business giant and become such good friends with her. Right?”

Xu Zao Zao crooked her fingers, and gently propped the frame of her glasses, then admitted frankly: “En.” She added, “I feel that they are too far away from us.”

There may be a business connection, but being a close and sincere friend, thinking about it was really too unreal.

Yu Ru Bing paused, then slowly smiled: “Not really far.”

She was in her heart, and was right beside her.

For her, she was even more than that.

They were already intertwined and became one another, like a shadow relentlessly following the body.

She stretched out her hand and lightly tapped on the business card in Xu Zao Zao’s palm: “She is here, not really far at all.”

Xu Zao Zao followed her fingers and looked down at business card lying quietly on her palm.

Yu Ru Bing took her shoulders and proudly patted it: “Zao Zao if you have any good script, you must first consider our Hua Yao, our Hua Yao is eagerly seeking talented people and will never let gold get buried!”

Xu Zao Zao: “…your skill in endorsing is really good.”

Exceedingly resembling those that paste screen protectors under bridges.

Yu Ru Bing shyly said: “Ei, this is nothing, it’s mainly for Hua Yao.”

Xu Zao Zao looked at the business card and began to stir.

She did… have a script.

Yu Ru Bing suddenly remembered another thing— it was not precisely sure whether Tang Han Qiu really had the male protagonist halo, and Xu Zao Zao was one of the female supporting characters!

Although she had corrected Xu Zao Zao, this person’s life trajectory before, making her successfully dispel her thoughts about that slag man, but she was not sure, after the male protagonist changed, would the female support who already had her own path in life be influenced by another halo again?

Like refreshing and starting over again.

She touched her chin and decided to ask 008.

008 told her, no.

Supporting characters are free to a certain extent, once they have been guided, they would not be affected nor pulled back in the plot line again.

That is the three people, Xu Zao Zao, Tan Xi and Zhou Jun Wen had already met Qiu Yun Li, so when Tang Han Qiu uses the male protagonist halo later, they would no longer be affected by the halo, how they were before would still be how they were after.

Yu Ru Bing no longer had to bother correcting the life trajectories of these three female supporting characters.

Yu Ru Bing breathed a sigh of relief, but was still not particularly at ease so said to Xu Zao Zao: “But Zao Zao, you can’t fall in love with our President Tang.”

Xu Zao Zao: “…Ah?”

Yu Ru Bing earnestly said: “She is very noble, other people doesn’t have a chance.”

Xu Zao Zao: “???”

Xu Zao Zao was rather stunned: “… but I’m also not gay.”

En, I didn’t think I was gay either before I fell in love with her. Yu Ru Bing gave her a look and said, “I’ll give a forewarning. If by chance you see her then ‘your world won’t be straight1’ any more, okay? Remember sister’s words, don’t fall in love with her, it won’t bear fruit.”

Because her wife, me, is standing right in front of you!

Sister mainly doesn’t want to make you sad!

Xu Zao Zao didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, and promised that she would not fall for Tang Han Qiu.

Yu Ru Bing was relieved, and after a while went in to defend her thesis.

She could finally get rid of her end of term assignments and thesis!

……

Both Team A and B of <Midsummer> filmed at the same time, and ever since Tang Han Qiu came that one time, the shooting went more smoothly, Zhan Jia Su, who used to make a fuss, settled down, and Yan Li, who would carefully scheme Yu Ru Bing into a pit never did anything again.

Everyone performed their own part in peace, and their filming progress greatly accelerated.

In the blink of an eye, Yu Ru Bing was about to complete her part.

Today was her last scene.

The second female character realized that it would never be possible for her and the male lead, so she freely gave up and casually left with her agent Chen Jie.

Along the course of event when Yu Ru Bing and Chen Jie was acting, they discovere something— when the second female character left, she was sitting in the passenger seat of Chen Jie’s car.

This time, the principled Chen Jie did not blast her away.

Yu Ru Bing and Chen Jie glanced at each other in mutual understanding, and then tacitly turned to look at the screenwriter standing at the back.

The male screenwriter was wearing a black-framed spectacle, thick hair, and had a straight-forward look.

When the two of them looked back at him, Yu Ru Bing raised one of her eyebrows, with an expression of “young man, I have a question to ask you”.

The screenwriter intuitively sensed this, he gave a bashful smile, and said politely: “Do your best mentors!”

Don’t ask, asking just means that the world won’t be straight!

Yu Ru Bing raised her eyebrows.

Your foreshadowing is so deep…

Yu Ru Bing turned to look at the actor playing Chen Jie, and asked politely: “Do you think it’s okay?”

Chen Jie looked at her: “I have no problem.”

After all, this segment hasn’t begun, it was just an echo to the previous scene, and only acted as an Easter egg. Whether this was discovered was up to the audience.

Yu Ru Bing said: “Okay, then I also have no problem with it, let’s do it like this.”

She wasn’t originally straight, it didn’t scare her at all.

……

Yu Ru Bing was wearing sunglasses, a white shirt that reached her thighs, and a pair of black tight shorts, on her waist there was a long thin diamond-encrusted chain tied around it, and a pair of plain white shoes was on her feet, the overall style was casual and fashionable.

Her and the male lead stood at the entrance of the company, her slender straight white legs was smooth and wasn’t too thin, they were very well-proportioned and looked good, that seeing this the female employees burst with envy.

Once again, the sound of the clap board echoed.

Yu Ru Bing immediately raised her head with a smile on her face, she held out her hand towards the male lead Yan Li, and said in a poised manner: “It was nice to have known you, I won’t like you in the future anymore, I wish you happiness.”

Yan Li’s gaze went back and forth between her hand and her smile, then after three seconds of silence, he slowly stretched out his hand and held hers, then with a heavy voice: “I wish you happiness too.”

Yu Ru Bing’s slightly curved her eyes, all the dissatisfaction and unwillingness disappeared in this moment, her expression was extremely relaxed, and the movement of their linked hands shaking didn’t even bring any nostalgia.

Just like that she chose to walk away, without a tiny bit of reluctance.

The director intently stared at the monitor.

Yu Ru Bing on the screen slightly hung her head, her eyes flickering, and did not look at Yan Li.

“Goodbye.” She softly said.

Without waiting for the male lead to speak, she turned and walked away stopping behind him, waiting for her agent’s car.

She opened the passenger door and sat directly inside, never looking back at the male lead again.

The camera zoomed in.

As soon as she got into the passenger seat, Chen Jie turned her head to look at her without saying anything.

And her expression lightly said, “Why are you looking at me? Haven’t seen a single dog2 before? Hurry up.”

Chen Jie thoughts were unknown, but she smiled, and then said, “Seat belt.”

Yu Ru Bing oh’d twice, then hurriedly fastened her seat belt. Chen Jie started the car, then smoothly drove the car out of camera, and towards the conclusion of the second female character.

“Cut!” shouted the director, he stood up and said with a smile, “This one is a pass, great work!”

The screenwriter with a lily3 soul silently applauded.

Yu Ru Bing and Chen Jie got out of the car, and having received the flowers sent by the staff, along with their congratulatory words for completing their role, they responded with courtesy.

This was her first acting project, and although she was not the female lead, but this experience was profound enough for her.

She would remember everything she had learned here, and apply it to every performance she would do in the future.

……

On Yu Ru Bing’s last day of filming, it happened to be Sunday, but Tang Han Qiu did not go to see her, instead she had a meeting with the executives of the Project Department in Hua Yao.

The main purpose of this meeting was regarding Xu Zao Zao.

Two days ago, Xu Zao Zao contacted Tang Han Qiu through Tang Han Qiu’s office number, carefully expressing her wish to let Hua Yao take a look at her script, hoping that Tang Han Qiu could give her a chance.

The person who they were supposed to pay attention to, now took the initiative to find them, so of course, Tang Han Qiu would not refuse, and had sent someone to interview her.

Xu Zao Zao was one of the vicious female supporting characters, and she was a talented vicious female support, Tang Han Qiu knew this from her previous life, so she asked Han Wei and the others to pay attention to Xu Zao Zao.

And today was when the Project Department and Tang Han Qiu was discussing and deciding about her script.

Whether they would fund and let her direct this script, it was all being discussed today.

From ten o’clock in the morning, the meeting lasted for four hours, from the script to the marketing, and back to the story structure itself, the people from the Project Department did not let go of a single detail and scrutinized them all.

In the end, they came to the conclusion that they could invest in it, but some areas were still rather coarse and needed to be improved first.

This depended on whether Xu Zao Zao was willing to let others assist and dissect her own script.

After all, there were some directors who were like this, their pride was carved into their bones, and they would never let others touch their scripts.

Although Xu Zao Zao was still a student in the cinematography department, whether or not she had this same pride, others couldn’t precisely tell.

The Director of the Project Department Zhang Xu was in charge of contacting Xu Zao Zao, so this matter was left to him, and if there were any changes, he also had the right to negotiate.

“En, then that would be our preliminary decision.” Tang Han Qiu glanced at the time, then got up and said, “Thank you for your hard work everyone for attending this meeting on a weekend.”

The people of the Project Department repeatedly said that President Tang was being polite.

The meeting lasted for four to five hours, so they all ate at the Project Department. Because if the work flow of each project was not completely determined, they would have a lot of trouble in the follow-up, so long meetings were something common to them.

Tang Han Qiu slightly smiled: “When you are all done, go home early.”

Everyone said yes.

Tang Han Qiu walked out with Han Wei.

In the empty corridor, the clatter of high heels stepping on the ground could be heard one after another.

Tang Han Qiu casually asked: “Does General Assistant Han have any plan on the weekend?”

Han Wei pushed the frame of her glasses: “Date.”

She and Wen Yu Lan have promised to go to the movies today.

Tang Han Qiu instinctively checked the time on her watch, and said, “Speaking of this, I haven’t seen Ru Bing in a long time.”

She had visited the set two or three times, and it’s been two weeks since the last she went.

One day apart seemed like three years, so having not seen her for two weeks, that would be a few several three years already, if she didn’t miss her then that would be weird.

Whenever she would go back to Ziyu Mansion, she could only stare at the big rabbit doll on the bed.

Han Wei reminded: “It’s her last day today, and she does not have any schedule until four days later.”

Tang Han Qiu nodded, she picked up her phone and was about to ask Yu Ru Bing if he had finished, but received her message first.

[President’s wife]: Qiu Qiu, Guangying told me they have a resource for a costume drama for me!

  1. I’m a little scared of what “soon, soon” means. Also had Tang Han Qiu actually told Han Wei about the change between her ‘fake’ relationship with Yu Ru Bing and her real one now? Or did Han Wei even know it was fake to begin with? Well she can definitely tell, I was just wondering if that moment when she said “speaking of date, I haven’t seen Yu Ru Bing in a while” was the first time she openly admitted to dating her in front of Han Wei.
