Meng Yao's scenes are about to be wrapped up, and she has become much busier recently, even having less time for lunch.
"Xiao Meng, you are really a talented actor. Fu Yue seems to come alive under your interpretation." Li Xiang sighed again: "I used to think that hard work and diligence are the most important, but after meeting you, I know that there is no shortage of geniuses in this world."
In the early stage, Fu Yue was a gentle and shy girl next door, and in the later stage, she was a ruthless female devil. Meng Yao was able to perfectly control these two images, and her performance was well-paced and very contagious. These points were enough to convince Li Xiang that Meng Yao was a good actor with amazing talent.
Meng Yao was still wearing her costume, with complicated patterns on her black and red skirt, and the graceful daffodils seemed to come alive. She was listening to Li Xiang talking, and she was a little impatient. She had planned to go to dinner after filming this scene, but she didn't expect to be pulled over by Li Xiang for a chat.
"The role of Fu Yue is quite difficult and challenging, because the personality is very different in the early and late stages. It is very challenging to switch between the two personalities. I didn't expect your performance to be so outstanding, and there is no sense of stiffness or unnaturalness at all. "Fu Yue" was born for you. If there is a chance, I hope we can work together again next time..."
Li Xiang is usually strict and serious, and not easy to talk to, but he said so much at this moment, and the last sentence was enough to show his appreciation for Meng Yao.
If it were any other artist, they would probably be so moved that they would cry, but the thoughts in Meng Yao's mind were rather weird. She felt relieved because Li Xiang finally finished speaking.
"Okay." Meng Yao nodded randomly: "Director Li, I have something to do, so I'll leave first."
Seeing her calm attitude, Li Xiang felt that Meng Yao was a good talent to be cultivated. Li Xiang nodded with satisfaction and said, "You can go and get busy first."
The staff members were coming and going around, and they heard a lot of the conversation between Li Xiang and Meng Yao. Soon, many people knew that Li Xiang was very satisfied with Meng Yao's acting skills, and he favored her very much, and even said that he looked forward to their next collaboration.
When it reached Meng Qingqing's ears, it became that Li Xiang had promised Meng Yao the heroine of his next play.
Meng Qingqing held the teacup in her hand, wishing she could crush it to pieces.
She looked out from the shed and happened to see Rong Yiqing who was going to chat with Meng Yao.
Meng Qingqing lowered her head, hiding the emotions in her eyes.

"What's that in your hand?"
Meng Yao looked at Xiao Song walking towards her with a package, a smile on her face.
"This is the amber tea that Brother Lingxiao gave to you, Sister Meng. Here!" Xiao Song handed over the package of amber tea.
Meng Yao had no choice but to take it and put it on the table. In fact, she didn't like drinking tea at all, but the fact that she was late every day made Ling Xiao mistakenly think that she really needed a tea for sleeping and health preservation, so he came to deliver it every few days, sometimes he came to deliver it personally, and sometimes he asked his assistant to deliver it.
Meng Yao said that she was fine and didn't need to drink amber tea, but Ling Xiao didn't listen at all and insisted as always.
Not long after Meng Yao finished her meal, she stood up and walked outside for a few steps to digest the food.
Xiao Song also followed her and said, "Sister Meng, how about you try the tea that Brother Ling Xiao sent over today? The tea that Brother Ling Xiao sent over is almost filling up a box, but you haven't drunk any of it."
Meng Yao stretched and looked with interest at the staff who were moving equipment not far away.
"Didn't I ask you to share the drink with the other assistants?"
Xiao Song said with a bitter face: "This is what Brother Ling Xiao gave to you, Sister Meng. What's the big deal if we drink it?"
Xiao Song wanted to persuade Meng Yao of something, but he suddenly saw someone walking slowly not far away, and subconsciously pulled Meng Yao's sleeve.
Meng Yao was thinking about whether or not to go out for a big meal to celebrate after finishing filming all the scenes. She couldn't help feeling a little annoyed when her thoughts were suddenly interrupted. When she saw that the person who came was Meng Qingqing, she became even more annoyed.
There was still a smile on Meng Qingqing's delicate face, but it seemed a little colder than before.
"Sister, can I sit in your RV for a while? We two sisters haven't talked for a long time, and I miss you very much."
Xiao Song was standing nearby and suddenly felt a little chilly. He clearly remembered Meng Qingqing's slightly hostile attitude towards Meng Yao. Now she was suddenly pretending to be close to him. He wondered what tricks she was trying to play.
Meng Yao took out a candy from her pocket, tore off the wrapper and put it in her mouth. Her cheeks immediately became round and bulging, which made her look a little cute. However, the look she gave Meng Qingqing was not gentle, but rather cold. Meng Yao pulled the corner of her mouth and said, "I don't know you well, what's there to talk about?"
Meng Qingqing couldn't control her emotions, because she realized that as long as she got close to Meng Yao, as long as she stared at Meng Yao's beautiful yet prickly face, she felt itchy in her heart, itchy with hatred.
She originally really wanted to treat Meng Yao as her sister and was willing to be nicer to her, but Meng Yao just wanted to suppress her brilliance.
"Sister, I heard that Director Li has promised you the leading female role in his next play. You are really amazing!"
"Don't just open your mouth and talk nonsense. There will be a price to pay for spreading rumors."
Meng Yao's indifferent expression also became extremely dazzling in Meng Qingqing's eyes. She clenched her hands: "First, you secretly asked Ling Xiao for advice, and then pretended to be a genius who memorized the script on the spot. You are very happy to get the praise from Director Li, right? Director Li praised your amazing talent, sister, you must be very happy, right? What is the purpose of doing all this, is it just to crush me? When did you have such a deep mind?"
After Meng Qingqing finished speaking, she still looked disgusted, as if Meng Yao had done something that was unforgivable.
Meng Yao was very excited about Meng Qingqing's resentment, but she did not forget her identity as a villain. Meng Yao sneered and said, "Don't think of yourself as the center of the world all the time. Do others surpass you just to crush you? Don't flatter yourself? Do you really think that everyone has to revolve around you and can't live without you? Sister, I have come to my senses now and want to work hard, okay?"
Meng Qingqing's cheeks turned red when she said that: "You mean you admit that you are pretending to be a genius?"
"Your own heart is black, and you see that no one or anything is clean."
Meng Qingqing raised her hand, then put it down fiercely. She said viciously: "I originally wanted to get along well with you, but I didn't expect you to be such a narrow-minded person with bad intentions. In this case, don't blame me for being too ruthless to you!"
It’s good to be ruthless. Meng Yao hopes that the heroine Meng Qingqing will slap him in the face right now. After all, the sooner he dies, the sooner he will complete the task.
"I'll wait for you." She replied nonchalantly.
These words became a provocation in Meng Qingqing's eyes. Meng Qingqing gritted her teeth and finally turned and left.
