Chapter 278 Xu Ye to be sent to Shanghai to learn technology (Please subscribe)
Qin Yun excitedly said, "Xu Ye, you looked absolutely stunning just now! You were completely different from before!"

Xu Ye smiled a little embarrassedly: "It's all thanks to the two of you who kept encouraging me, and the help I received from acting with Zhu Lin before."

The subsequent filming went relatively smoothly, and Xu Ye's performance improved with each take.

After a day of filming, Xu Ye felt extremely tired, but also filled with a sense of accomplishment.

The three walked out of the film studio, the afterglow of the setting sun casting long shadows on them.

Qin Yun suddenly said, "Today was so interesting. I hope I can act like Sister Zhu Lin in the future."

Zhu Lin smiled and patted her head: "As long as you have this dream and work hard to pursue it, you can definitely do it."

When Xu Ye got home that evening, he quickly washed up but did not immediately go into the machine workshop as usual.

He sat on the stone bench in the courtyard, recalling the details of filming today, and a smile unconsciously appeared on his face.

Zhu Lin walked over and sat down next to him: "You must be exhausted today, get some rest."

Xu Ye turned to look at her: "I'm not tired. I feel especially fulfilled today. By the way, Qin Yun School's art troupe is performing in a couple of days. We can't be late."

Zhu Lin nodded: "Don't worry, I've already marked it on the calendar, I definitely won't forget."

The two looked at each other and smiled, filling the courtyard with a warm atmosphere.

Because Julie returned early, Zhu Lin and Xu Ye drank tea in the courtyard for a while before going back to their respective rooms.

After returning to the room, Xu Ye took out the letter he had written and placed it on Ying Yong's lap.

It's the weekend, and he should return the letter.

This was an agreement made with Jiang Ruoan and the others, so Xu Ye naturally wouldn't forget it.

Xu Ye still felt somewhat guilty when he thought of them.

In addition to the letter, Xu Ye also prepared a small package.

There are some snacks here that are only available in the capital. I'll send them back to Jiang Ruoan and the others so they can try them.

In this way, even if they cannot come to the capital right now, they can still experience everything about the capital.

Eagles are only safe when they leave at night, as they are less likely to be spotted.

To find it, you either need to crouch down next to the house and listen for some noises.

Alternatively, they may have night vision goggles, allowing them to see directly.

There are definitely no night vision devices now.

At least, such high-end products are impossible to find in China.

After watching Ying Yong fly away, Xu Ye returned to his bed and then entered the mechanical workshop.

With a six-day work week and one-day rest, time is still quite tight.

He will continue filming next Sunday.

Fortunately, his scenes were few, and filming could be completed in four weekends.

However, we still need to go to Xu Ye's factory for a day of filming tomorrow.

The film studio has already reached an agreement with its own factory, and Xu Ye and Zhu Lin can go directly to the factory to film tomorrow.

The next morning, Xu Ye left his mechanical workshop early.

After washing her face, Zhu Lin got up.

She was in a great mood and seemed to be in a good place today.

Perhaps it's because they can see the environment where Xu Ye works.

Wang Huiyu also got up, and she now works very diligently every day.

Today, she also needs to start tidying up the outer courtyard.

The people from the outer courtyard have been gone for a few days, but they haven't really tidied up yet.

Xu Ye plans to set up his own studio in the Foreign Languages ​​Department and intends to make several freezers by hand to store meat.

"Sister-in-law, remember to tell Lin Hang at the park that we're not exercising today. We're going to the film studio for makeup and then head straight there to film," Xu Ye instructed.

"Okay, I'm heading out now." Wang Huiyu had met Lin Hang before and recognized him immediately.

Then, Xu Ye and Zhu Lin rode out.

When Xu Ye arrived at the film studio, he saw Qin Yun.

He didn't expect that Qin Yun would also come.

Qin Yun, wearing a light blue dress and with her hair tied in two cute little braids, was standing at the entrance of the film studio, looking around.

Upon seeing Xu Ye and Zhu Lin, she immediately skipped and hopped over.

"Xu Ye! Sister Zhu Lin!" She waved her arms excitedly.

"I begged the director for a long time before he finally agreed to let me visit the factory for filming!"

Zhu Lin smiled and ruffled her hair: "Why are you so enthusiastic, girl?"

"Because I want to see where you usually work!" Qin Yun blinked her big eyes, looking completely innocent.

The three of them chatted and laughed as they got into the film crew's car.

Along the way, Qin Yun, like a cheerful little bird, kept asking Xu Ye questions about the factory.

How big is your workshop? What kind of machines are there? Are the workers easy to get along with?

Xu Ye patiently answered their questions one by one, while Zhu Lin watched them with a smile, occasionally adding a few words.

Upon arriving at the factory, the director was talking with Xu Ye, the deputy director of the workshop.

Upon seeing Xu Ye arrive, the deputy factory director greeted him with a smile: "Our factory's big star has arrived!"

The other workers also gathered around, making jokes all at once.

Xu Ye blushed as she introduced Zhu Lin and Qin Yun to everyone.

"This is Comrade Zhu Lin, and this is Comrade Qin Yun. They are both actresses from the film studio."

Old Li sized up the two girls, then patted Xu Ye on the shoulder meaningfully: "You've got potential, kid!"

Filming began quickly.

Today's scene involves Xu Ye's character, a worker, discovering a malfunction in the equipment and working through the night to repair it.

Xu Ye skillfully operated the machine tool, every movement exuding professionalism and confidence.

Qin Yun stood to the side, watching intently.

As Xu Ye bent down to inspect the circuit, a strand of hair fell down, stained with engine oil.

This unintentional detail made Qin Yun blush suddenly, and she quickly lowered her head.

During the lunch break, Qin Yun proactively brought Xu Ye his meal.

She sat down next to Xu Ye and whispered, "Xu Ye, you look so amazing when you're working."

Just as Xu Ye was about to answer, Zhu Lin walked over, holding two bottles of soda.

"Here, have some to quench your thirst." She naturally sat down on Xu Ye's other side.

The afternoon shoot went even more smoothly.

In one scene, Xu Ye's hands were covered in oil while he was repairing something, and Qin Yun volunteered to help him wipe his hands.

She carefully used cotton gauze soaked in gasoline to wipe Xu Ye's fingers little by little, and her face unconsciously turned red again.

After finishing work, as the three were about to leave, the deputy factory manager stopped Xu Ye: "Xiao Xu, the factory is sending a few people to Shanghai next week to learn new technologies, and I've recommended you."

Xu Ye feigned surprise, widening his eyes: "Really? Thank you, Deputy Factory Director!"

“You have the skills; it’s really not suitable for you to go into steelmaking. So, I think you’re better suited for technical work; otherwise, it would be a waste of your talent,” the deputy factory director said with a smile. “Thank you, Deputy Factory Director. I will definitely study hard,” Xu Ye said earnestly.

He was very confused; he didn't understand why he was suddenly being asked to go to Shanghai again.

Could it be that Huang Haoming felt it was difficult to make a move in Beijing, so he decided to move himself to Shanghai?
“Great, I like your drive. To allow you to focus on your studies, the factory has approved your leave. This whole week is your holiday, you can start filming now.”

"That director really admires you; he went out of his way to get the leave approved for you." After saying that, he patted Xu Ye on the shoulder.

This news surprised Xu Ye greatly; he hadn't expected the director to directly ask for leave for him.

After the other party gave a few more instructions, Xu Ye left.

On the way back, Qin Yun leaned against the window, watching the scenery rushing by outside, and suddenly said, "Xu Ye, when you come back from Shanghai, can you bring me some local specialties?"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Lin coughed lightly.

Xu Ye smiled and nodded: "Of course, I'll bring some for you all."

As night deepened, the three parted ways at a fork in the road.

Qin Yun waved goodbye reluctantly: "See you tomorrow night!"

She needed to go back to rehearsal, otherwise she would have definitely gone home with Xu Ye and the others.

On the way home from the film studio, Zhu Lin suddenly asked, "What's wrong? You look so preoccupied?"

"The factory wants me to go to Shanghai for a training period starting next Monday," Xu Ye said slowly.

"How long will it take?" Zhu Lin asked hurriedly.

Now, she doesn't want to be separated from Xu Ye at all.

The time two people spend together is already very limited; if they can't even see each other a few times a day, it would be too torturous.

"About two weeks, this arrangement was quite sudden," Xu Ye replied.

"It'll take that long. What about your filming?" Zhu Lin frowned.

"The factory approved my leave so I can film until this weekend and finish shooting," Xu Ye explained.

Zhu Lin couldn't help but think of the previous framing and immediately frowned.

"Xu Ye," her voice trembled slightly, "have you offended someone?"

Zhu Lin bit her lower lip: "This is too sudden. Why would they let you go to Shanghai?"

The night wind blew, stirring up the fallen leaves on the ground.

Xu Ye was silent for a moment, then said in a low voice, "I also find it strange, but this is the factory's arrangement. Don't worry, I will take good care of myself. After all, I'm going with the other people from the factory, and there's only so much they can do."

“How about,” Zhu Lin suddenly grabbed Xu Ye’s wrist, “I’ll go ask the director?”

Xu Ye shook his head: "Don't alert them. The director might not know anything."

He gently patted Zhu Lin's hand: "Don't worry, I'll be careful and make sure you come back safe and sound."

Zhu Lin frowned, realizing that she couldn't help Xu Ye at all.

She did try to persuade Xu Ye to give up his factory job and focus on acting.

But Xu Ye wasn't willing, and she couldn't force him.

Today she also saw Xu Ye working in the factory, and he seemed to be radiating light.

Therefore, she really couldn't bring herself to persuade Xu Ye to give up this job.

All she can do now is pray for a safe and successful return.

"Don't worry, we'll be able to film together for the next few days. Aren't you happy?" Xu Ye said gently.

Tomorrow night, he and Zhu Lin are going to visit Qin Yun's school to see her performance.

"Of course I'm happy!" Zhu Lin said very seriously.

"Let's enjoy these few days first, and we'll talk about the rest later." With that, Xu Ye sped up.

Before long, the car arrived home.

However, Julie has already arrived home.

So, Xu Ye's chance to spend more time with Zhu Lin was gone again.

After returning home, Xu Ye appeared outwardly normal, but inwardly he kept thinking about going to Shanghai.

He knew that the reason behind this was definitely not simple. Huang Haoming's influence had always loomed over him like a shadow, and this sudden arrangement might be Huang Haoming's doing.

But he couldn't fully express his worries, for fear that Zhu Lin would become even more concerned.

After dinner, Xu Ye returned to his room, sat at the table, and unfolded the letter.

He wanted to write another letter to Jiang Ruoan and the others, but found his thoughts were somewhat chaotic.

The pen tip lingered on the paper for a long time before slowly falling.

He didn't mention going to Shanghai in the letter; he only shared anecdotes from filming and expressed his longing for them.

Meanwhile, Zhu Lin was also finding it difficult to calm down in her own room.

She knew that Xu Ye was in a difficult situation at the factory, and that there seemed to be nothing she could do but worry silently.

The next day, Xu Ye and Zhu Lin got up early and went to the factory to film.

They only went to see Qin Yun's performance in the evening, as the two of them needed to film during the day.

After filming, the two rode their bikes to Qin Yun's school.

When they arrived at the school, Qin Yun was already waiting at the entrance. She was wearing her performance costume and had an excited smile on her face.

Upon seeing Xu Ye and Zhu Lin, she immediately ran over and pulled them toward the auditorium.

When the performance began, Qin Yun's performance on stage was outstanding; every movement and expression of hers was full of vitality.

Xu Ye and Zhu Lin sat below the stage, watching intently, occasionally revealing gratified smiles.

After the performance, Qin Yun ran off the stage and came to Xu Ye and Zhu Lin, asking expectantly, "How was my performance?"

Xu Ye smiled and gave a thumbs up: "Very good, you will definitely become an excellent actor in the future."

Zhu Lin nodded in approval: "Yunyun, you are really talented."

Qin Yun smiled happily, then seemed to notice the strangeness between Xu Ye and Zhu Lin, and asked cautiously, "Xu Ye, Sister Zhu Lin, what's wrong? You don't seem very happy."

Xu Ye quickly explained, "No, it's probably because you've been too tired from filming these past few days. We're so proud of you."

The three of them strolled around the school for a while, with Qin Yun telling interesting stories about the school in an attempt to liven up the atmosphere.

However, Xu Ye and Zhu Lin's thoughts still kept drifting to their upcoming trip to Shanghai.

After returning home, Xu Ye decided that he could not sit idly by and wait for his fate.

He secretly contacted several reliable coworkers at the factory to inquire about more information regarding the arrangements for this study trip to Shanghai.

The workers also found the matter strange, but they all said they hadn't found any particular clues.

Over the next few days, Xu Ye was busy filming while keeping an eye on what was happening at the factory.

During each break, he would discuss countermeasures with Zhu Lin. Although Zhu Lin was anxious, she could only keep encouraging Xu Ye.

Finally, the weekend arrived, and Xu Ye finished filming all her scenes.

That evening, he and Zhu Lin sat in the courtyard, the moonlight shining on them, but the atmosphere was unusually heavy.

"Xu Ye, you're leaving tomorrow, and I'm really worried." Zhu Lin held Xu Ye's hand tightly, her eyes filled with reluctance.

Xu Ye gently embraced Zhu Lin: "Don't worry, I'll take good care of myself. You stay home and wait for me to come back."

The two embraced for a long time until late at night before returning to their respective rooms to rest.
