"Hey, are you still at his house now? Where are the others? Did you two have anything like that last night? Huh?" After the serious talk was over, Xuanxuan started gossiping.
"No! What are you thinking about?" I retracted my head into the quilt, only exposing my eyes and blinking, and all I smelled in my nose was the crisp and light fragrance that belongs exclusively to Liang Sheng. "It should be you who have something to say. Chu Jin is so pretty, so I don't believe he can be a gentleman?"
"Hey, is your Mr. Liang the only one who is a gentleman?" Xuanxuan laughed, then lowered her voice and said to me, "Guess what your Mr. Liang is doing now?"
When I woke up, Liang Sheng had already gone to the company, and Xuanxuan also went to work early in the morning. Since no one informed me about the start of work, I took a nap and slept a little longer. "What he can do, of course, is go to work."
"Don't you want to know what he is doing in the office?" Xuanxuan continued to ask.
Suddenly I felt that being the assistant to the president was very good. I sat outside Liang Sheng’s office at work and could see everything he did inside. I could get along with him day and night every day, and I could see him every day.
What was I thinking about? I closed my eyes and shook my head, brushing away all the messy little thoughts. Then I said in a serious tone: "I don't want to."
"He is thinking of you." Xuanxuan laughed secretly, "He was in a daze when he came to the company in the morning. He has signed three wrong documents so far, and even forgot the meeting of department heads."
I can imagine a scene like this. Liang Sheng was sitting in front of the computer. People kept handing him documents, and he took them and signed them without even looking at them. The office bell made a tinkling sound. He held his chin and rubbed some stubble with his fingertips. He thought about me quietly and laughed inexplicably from time to time.
"Okay, don't be poor. I have to pack up and go to the company." I interrupted Xuanxuan's gossip and my own thoughts.
After getting up, I simply packed up and took the car home. As soon as I got home and changed my clothes, my mother called: "The winter solstice is the day after tomorrow. Is your company on holiday? Your grandma keeps talking about your health these days. I’m not feeling well, I want to go back to Jiangcheng to see her during the holidays, can you spare the time, your grandma said you haven’t gone back to see her for a long time.”
I took a look at the desk calendar. During this period of time, I didn’t even know what day of the week it was. It was the end of the year in a blink of an eye. My grandpa had just passed away during the winter solstice last year. Since then, my grandma’s health has deteriorated a lot. When I was in school, I wanted to be with Liu Nanhaonian whenever I had a day off. Later, when I started to learn makeup, I didn’t have time to go back. It just so happened that Chen Shulei’s incident recently made me a little depressed, so it would be a good idea to go back and relax.
"I'll ask for leave from the leader later. When will you leave?" I asked my mother.
"About five o'clock tomorrow afternoon, I will drive to your company to pick you up."
"Okay mom, see you tomorrow then."
After hanging up the phone, I hesitated and sent a text message to Liang Sheng. The content was: "I will go back to Jiangcheng tomorrow to see my grandma for two days."
After waiting for a while and no reply, I went directly to the company.
He Lu left me a message early in the morning, saying that Chen Shulei had returned to filming, Director Wang was in a much better mood, and everyone was busy with the final filming. After what happened yesterday, I could also predict that Chen Shulei would return to the set. Director Wang, because I caught him having a close personal relationship with Chen Shulei, didn't dare to cause trouble with me rashly.
When I appeared in the studio, except for Jin Jing and Xia Nuannuan who gave me a few unkind looks, no one else looked at me. I walked straight to the backstage and sat down on the small bench next to He Lu. He Lu rarely teased me: "Shen Yan, you look very different today. You usually wear no makeup, but today you even put on blush." .”
"Ahem!" I was afraid that the prop guys on the side might hear it, so I lowered my voice and said, "No way, I just got up late today and have time."
In fact, I deliberately put on some blush because I was afraid that I would blush thinking about last night, so it would be more or less concealed.
"Shen Yan, you're here!" I looked up and saw Yang Xiao.
He didn't hold up the microphone today because this martial arts scene had no lines at all, it was mainly about the expressions and movements of the actors. I smiled at him and nodded.
He moved a small stool and sat down next to me, chatting with me in a low voice: "You are really good. It only took you one day to get Chen Shulei back. Do you know who is on the crew now?" Everyone praises you behind your back for being great."
"Really?" I smiled awkwardly, "I'm just lucky. Didn't you say that? Girls who love to laugh will not have bad luck."
Yang Xiao laughed: "I'm just trying to comfort you. Even a girl with bad luck can't laugh."
He Lu and I were both amused by him. He was indeed very eloquent. No wonder he said that he had many friends. Generally speaking, people who are good at talking have many supporters around them.
I asked Yang Xiao: "Do you know the progress of the filming? How long will it take to complete?"
Yang Xiao thought for a while and replied: "As long as Chen Shulei and Ling Xiao are less aggressive, the entire filming can be completed in a week."
"That's quick." I muttered, then turned to He Lu and asked: "Our workload should be much smaller. I think if you take two days off the day after tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, your work should be arranged."
He Lu nodded, "It should be no problem. Where are you going when you ask for leave?"
"I'm going back to Jiangcheng to celebrate the winter solstice with my grandma." I answered with a smile.
Yang Xiao heard this and interjected: "Shen Yan is from Jiangcheng, and so am I. We are fellow villagers."
"Really? I heard you speak with a northern accent and thought you were from the north."
"No, you just said it was the winter solstice, right? I almost forgot. I also want to go back to Jiangcheng. Shen Yan, when you leave, we can be together." Yang Xiao showed a hearty smile, but I I felt a little embarrassed, because several people, including He Lu, looked at me, and the inexplicable smiles in their eyes made me wonder if they had misunderstood something.
No matter what, I refused, "I'm driving back with my mom, sorry."
"That's better." Yang Xiao smiled even more: "I can hitchhike along the way, uh, but will Auntie find it inconvenient?"
"That's not true." I didn't know what to say. He was determined to go with me. I thought that my mother and I were the only two people. Since he was also returning to Jiangcheng, we could just go with him. It didn’t matter, so I agreed to him.
I called my mother in the afternoon and told her about it. My mother agreed immediately, "No matter how big the problem is, I can bring three more colleagues with me."
I told Yang Xiao about the departure time, and Yang Xiao immediately went to ask for leave from the crew. I sat in the corner and flipped through my phone boredly. He still hasn't responded to the text message I sent to Liang Sheng in the morning. I don’t know if he didn’t see it or if he was busy all the time.
After thinking about it, I accidentally typed a few words on the screen: "What are you doing? I miss you."
I woke up and immediately wanted to delete it. Unexpectedly, He Lu just got up and touched my arm. The text message was sent out without knowing why, and I couldn't withdraw it.
I clutched my phone tightly, feeling extremely annoyed.
When Yang Xiao came back, he saw my strange expression and joked: "What's wrong? Are you regretting giving me a ride?"
"No, no, how is that possible?" I shook my head guiltily.
The filming was still going on. Chen Shulei kept trying at first and kept doing it again. Later, she gradually found the feeling and could pass almost everything in one go. In the play, she is charming and chivalrous, no longer overbearing and neurotic in life.
In fact, Chen Shulei is just a bit grumpy. She only seems to be neurotic when it comes to Liang Sheng. When she is not doing anything, she will talk and laugh with the crew and take photos with reporters who visit the set. She is a very temperamental actor, but she is emotionally troubled.
"Mr. Liang is here, get up, get up, Mr. Liang is here!" A steward reminded in a low voice.
Before I could realize what was going on, Yang Xiao saw that I was still sitting on the small bench in a daze, and directly stretched out his hand to pull me up, and kicked the small stool into the corner behind him with his feet.
"What's wrong?" I asked him in confusion.
Yang Xiao replied softly: "Mr. Liang doesn't like us being too lazy at work, so every time he comes to visit the class, we have to be more serious. I'll go take a look at the props over there, but you should be careful."
I nodded, opening a pair of ignorant peach blossom eyes, thinking, is Liang Sheng that scary? Why did everyone look nervous when they heard that Mr. Liang was here
At this time, Liang Sheng was already standing in the center of the studio not far away, with a pale face and no expression. As usual, he put his hands in his pockets and inspected the shooting scene in a typical leadership manner.
When Chen Shulei saw him, her eyes lit up. She kept filming and had to take a break.
Liang Sheng and Director Wang were chatting in the corner, and Chen Shulei walked around in a delicate manner and stood beside Liang Sheng.
Colleagues in the costume team in front whispered to each other: "Look at the way Chen Shulei looks at Mr. Liang, it's like the banshee in Journey to the West looking at Tang Monk and wanting to eat it immediately."
I felt a little uncomfortable after hearing this, and another colleague answered: "It's normal, isn't it said that they are a couple? Look at them being so close, they look like a couple."
"Not necessarily. Our Mr. Liang never looked at Chen Shulei from beginning to end. If it were you and your girlfriend was standing next to you, would you not even look at her?"
"That's not the case"
I listened to their discussion, and my eyes kept focusing on Liang Sheng opposite me. He didn't seem to see me, and he never looked over at my corner from beginning to end. He was wearing a gray shirt today, with two buttons at the collar undone, revealing his wheat-colored skin and sexy Adam's apple. Suddenly I remembered that he was standing naked in front of me the night before, and his face turned red to the roots of his ears.
"By the way, how are the other departments cooperating?" Liang Sheng suddenly said this, and I actually heard it. It was obvious that he deliberately raised his tone.
Director Wang thought for a moment and replied thoughtfully: "Except for a small problem with the makeup, there is nothing else."
"Make-up?" Liang Sheng chewed and glanced around in private. His eyes suddenly lingered on my face for a second, and then said: "All departments are cooperating very well, but only the makeup side? Then it can only be the general makeup. The teacher's negligence, Jin Jing, I hope that when the filming is coming to an end, I will not remove you from your position, and your salary will be deducted by 30%. I will write a written report and have your supervisor sign it and give it to me."
