Chapter 99

Under Ji Qingqing's constant urging, the driver finally arrived in the underground parking lot of Tianyu Entertainment at 9:50. After 10 minutes, Ji Qingqing stepped into the lounge and successfully met Qin Yue at the appointed time.

Her small face was deathly white. As soon as she entered the lounge, she nestled herself on the sofa and became unresponsive.

When Ji Qingqing entered the lounge, Qin Yue was still discussing the arrangements of the shooting with the advertising agency.

Qin Yue was not a well-known agent in the company. At that time, he was Meng Xun's agent. However, his boss assigned him to be Ji Qingqing's agent and assigned someone else to take over as Meng Xun's agent. He had dealt with numerous artists before, so he had a lot of experience already. He didn't think much of Ji Qingqing's dark past. In the entertainment circle, nothing was permanent. A person can have an instant change of fortune and wash away the negative rumors surrounding him or her. There was a lot of dirt and secret in the entertainment industry.

"Why is your complexion so pale?"

Ji Qingqing waved her hand and replied, "It's not a big deal. I'll be fine after I rest for a little bit."

"Are you sure you're alright?"

"I'm really fine. What's the job for today?"

Qin Yue handed her an script, "We will be heading to the studio to shoot an at 11 o'clock."

Ji Qingqing flipped through the script. The script was not long; she only needed to say a few lines in the .

She glanced at the time, "Then let's go quickly, so we won't be late. Otherwise, they will gossip behind my back and complain that I'm using my popularity to get special treatment."

It was hard to survive in the entertainment industry.

If you arrive late, then they will say that you're getting special treatment because of your popularity. If you try to distance yourself from other people, then they will say that you're looking down on them. If you treat people kindly, they will say that you're trying to curry favor with them. It was hard to interact with other people in the entertainment industry.

After she rested a few minutes on the sofa, Ji Qingqing got up and followed Qin Yue all the way to a studio located half an hour away from the company.

As soon as Ji Qingqing left the company, Lu Lixing arrived at the company. As soon as he stepped inside the company, he was told by the staff that Ji Qingqing already headed to the studio to shoot an .

The bottle of painkillers in Lu Lixing's hand had long lost its shape. Lu Lixing went back to the car and told the driver to drive him to the studio.

The driver, Xiao Zhang, looked at Lu Lixing's face through the rearview mirror. He couldn't help but sigh thinking that Mr. Lu and Mrs. Lu had such a loving relationship. He smiled and said, "Sir, don't worry. You'll arrive there shortly."

Lu Lixing replied, "Okay."

The studio set was just set up when Ji Qingqing arrived at the studio.

The director was currently explaining some important matters with the set production assistant. The set production assistant was sharp-eyed. He saw Ji Qingqing and her agent as soon as they walked in. He mentioned their arrival to the director.

The director glanced at Ji Qingqing and her agent. She was merely a 3rd line artist, so it wasn't worth it for him to personally go out to greet him. He called the deputy director over to communicate with Ji Qingqing.

T/N: In China, they rank their artists by number (1-18). So, if you're a 1st line artist, then you're extremely popular. If you're an 18th line artist (like Shen Weiwei) then you're not popular at all. So, Ji Qingqing is well known, but not extremely popular.

Ji Qingqing had just sat down in the dressing room when the assistant director came to discuss some matters with her.

This was an for chocolate. The two artists they hired for this shoot were Ji Qingqing and Lu Yao. Lu Yao was a young artist that was currently very popular. The advertisers wanted this to give off a very sweet feeling.

Ji Qingqing recited the lines until she knew them by heart. But she was in a turmoil because she didn't know how to act to make this give off a 'sweet feeling'.

"Sister Qingqing, here is the painkiller and hot water you asked for."

Ji Qingqing looked at the assistant like she was her lifesaver. She took two of the painkillers and swallowed them.

"Thank you."

She had just thanked the assistant when the door to her dressing room was opened. A tall man who looked like a model walked into her dressing room. He was accompanied by four to five assistants and bodyguards. He didn't even glance at her before he sat on the chair next to Ji Qingqing. Two makeup artists stood by either side of him and began to apply makeup for him.

His facial features were exquisite, and his skin was very fair. However, he had a cold attitude, making him seem unapproachable.

Ji Qingqing didn't even need to guess to know that he was the artist named Lu Yao who she will be working with later.

"Hello, my name is Ji Qingqing. We will be working together later, please give me some pointers."

Lu Yao glanced at her for a second before he retrieved his gaze.

...look at his arrogant attitude!
