After you get used to it, it’s nothing to you.
The chef who cooked the nutritious meals should be a master, and the food he cooked should be delicious and tasty. Meng Yao could accept almost all the food that she didn't like very much, the only thing she was not used to was that the taste was a little bland compared to what she had eaten before.
After the woman left, Meng Yao did not forget to explain to Xue Yali: "My family doesn't like me to eat too many snacks and desserts, so I..."
Xu Shuiqing already understood what she meant: "So that's how it is..."
Meng Yao and Xu Shuiqing didn't talk for too long, because after the other party received a phone call, his expression suddenly changed, and he said goodbye and left in a hurry.
Meng Yao's intuition told her that Xu Shuiqing must have encountered something troublesome.
She asked, "What happened? Do you need my help?"
Xu Shuiqing sighed: "This matter can only be solved by myself, no one else can help me. I'm so sorry Yaoyao, I may have to leave for a while again."
Meng Yao did not continue to explore, but just nodded: "All troubles can be solved."
Suddenly, Xu Shuiqing's assistant came over and said, "Sister Qing, the afternoon scene has been moved up. We need to get our makeup done now."
Xu Shuiqing's face was not very good: "I have something to deal with now, can't it be postponed?"
"No. This is a temporary decision made by the investor. The lease of the venue is about to expire!"
Xu Shuiqing's phone rang. She hesitated for a moment and finally sighed, "Let's go get our hair done first."
After Xu Shuiqing left, Xiao Song muttered, "Teacher Xu Shuiqing is known for being a workaholic. This is the first time I've seen her so hesitant. It seems like she's had a lot of troubles recently, otherwise she wouldn't leave so often with such worries."
Meng Yao nodded, took the freshly squeezed juice on the table and took a sip.
It's sweet and refreshing, but I always feel like something is not right.
She realized belatedly: Could it be that I have eaten too much junk food, so now I am not used to drinking these fresh fruit juices without additives
"Sister Meng, are you worried about Teacher Xu Shuiqing?"
Meng Yao said slowly: "Just like Xu Shuiqing said, if she wants to tell me, she will tell me. If she doesn't want to say it, I will just add burden to her by asking her directly. Everyone has secrets that they don't want to tell, which is normal."
Xiao Song seemed to have an epiphany, and murmured, "That's indeed the truth." He smiled and gave a thumbs up, "Sister Meng is really thoughtful."
After finishing the filming, Meng Yao went back to her RV to rest. The sun outside was quite strong and she really didn't want to stay out in the sun.
It doesn’t matter whether she gets tanned or not, she just simply hates the process of being tanned.
"By the way, I haven't seen Xue Yali for a long time. What has she done recently?"
Meng Yao saw Xue Yali quite often. She would meet him on the set at least once every two days, and he would always have a vicious expression on his face.
But since the last incident, Meng Yao seemed to have not seen her for a long time.
"Xue Yali..." Xiao Song thought for a moment and said, "Xue Yali has not been in the crew for a long time. Her original role was replaced by another actress. According to gossip, Xue Yali must have offended someone..."
"Did you offend someone?"
Meng Yao rubbed his forehead. It was not difficult to guess who had been offended. Xue Yali had left the crew since the last time, so it was clear who had done it.
Without Xue Yali hanging around in front of her, Meng Yao did feel a lot more at ease.
Flies are more annoying than wild animals.
Meng Yao subconsciously took a bag of potato chips and tore it open. Eating some snacks when you are in a good mood will only make you happier.
"She's gone, which is good."
Meng Yao narrowed her eyes slightly. In fact, sometimes she thought that Rong Yan was quite good. At least he helped her solve a lot of troubles and saved her a lot of trouble.
"When Xue Yali was here, she only caused trouble. It's just right for her to leave now!"
Meng Yao nodded slowly and tilted her head slightly: "Xiao Song, what time is the next show?"
"It's 3:30 in the afternoon. There's still an hour and a half left. Sister Meng, you can take this time to study the script."
Xiao Song took out the script from her bag and handed it to Meng Yao: "It's more convenient to carry this way, so I just put it in my bag. Here, give it to you, Sister Meng!"
Meng Yao took it, turned a page, and once again deepened the impression in her mind.
Xiao Song was sitting next to Meng Yao, and he was quite moved when he saw this. Guan Liang rarely stayed by Meng Yao's side during this period, and one of the obvious reasons was that Meng Yao really made him less worried.

"This one's over!"
Huang Yan stood up and personally handed Meng Yao a glass of water. Her eyes were full of smiles: "Thank you for your hard work."
Meng Yao took it and looked down.
The bland white water was slowly steaming. This was the hot water she hated the most.
"Thank you, Director Huang." She took a sip and felt the heat steaming all over her body.
"Although the weather is hot now, drinking cold drinks may cause stomachache, so boiled water is better."
Meng Yao nodded upon hearing this.
Huang Yan smiled slightly and praised her generously: "You really have a talent for acting. It's obviously the same person with the same makeup, but once you get into the role, you give people a huge contrast."
Meng Yao tilted her head slightly: "What do you mean?"
Huang Yan pondered for a moment and said, "How should I put it? When you took on the role of 'Jiang Jian's master personality', all the sharp edges in your body were restrained."
"The quality of acting is not dependent on makeup. This is only the first step in shaping a character. The core is still acting, and you have done it all. Just by changing your eyes, you can switch between Jiang Jian's main and secondary personalities freely. I think this is quite amazing."
"Acting skills can be developed through accumulation, or they can be largely determined by talent. Of course, hard work is essential, but I always believe that aura and understanding cannot be imitated."
Meng Yao smiled slightly, neither nodded nor said anything.
Huang Yan has always believed that she is dominated by talent, which may be related to the age of the original owner.
But Huang Yan didn't know that she had already carried out countless book-crossing missions. The most basic requirement was to adapt to the role as quickly as possible to complete the goal.
"Director Huang, you are really too kind. I am not as great as you say. I am just an ordinary person."
Ordinary—this has always been Meng Yao’s definition of herself.
Huang Yan smiled and said, "I may not be praising you too much, but you are really modest."
"This weather is really scorching, and there are no scenes to be filmed this afternoon. Yaoyao, you should go back and rest."
Meng Yao wiped the sweat from her forehead. Even though Xiao Song was holding a parasol beside her, she still felt uncomfortable.
After saying goodbye to Huang Yan, Meng Yao returned to the RV.
Many people greeted me on the road, all of them were warm and enthusiastic.
Meng Yao had never enjoyed this kind of treatment since she came here. Considering Huang Yan's attitude, it was estimated that Rong Yan had helped her a lot in secret.
