Entertainment: I just want to be the boss behind the scenes

Chapter 152 How do you know she is my ex-girlfriend
Two takeouts filled the table. Li Qin and Song Zhi each took a drink and sat on both sides, occasionally taking a sip and taking the opportunity to glance at each other.

Although there is a hint of hostility towards each other, they are all decent adults and would never do anything like pulling each other's hair.

Of course, it is impossible for them to compete with each other to please Meng Bai, have him surrounded by women, and then enjoy the benefits of having many wives.

On the contrary, if gazes had substance, they would have turned into a sieve by now.

Feeling the "hot" gazes coming from both sides from time to time, Meng Bai sat in the middle and enjoyed the food with a natural expression.

Past experience told him that at times like this, the more he appeared to be unmoved, the more he would be able to dispel suspicion.

Sure enough, seeing this guy looking so "open-minded", the two girls slowly began to doubt whether they were really overthinking it.

"Why aren't you two eating?" Meng Bai asked as he ate, "You ordered so much food, I can't finish it all by myself."

"I'm not hungry." Li Qin said, "I usually eat less at night when I'm on a team."

This is actually a habit that many actors have. If they eat too much at night, they will easily become edematous when they wake up the next day, and they will look "fatter" than normal in front of the camera.

Therefore, some directors, especially those who like to use close-up shots of characters, prefer to shoot in the afternoon, because the swelling of the people subsides at that time, and the shooting effect is better.

Song Zhi looked at the food on the table. She was actually a little hungry, not to mention that she had specially bought her favorite shrimp cakes tonight.

But seeing that Li Qin didn't move, she always felt like she would lose if she ate.

So she also said cruelly: "I, I'm not hungry either. I've been losing weight recently."

"You're still losing weight?" Meng Bai asked in surprise, "Girl, are you 90 kilograms now?"

Song Zhi's expression froze, and he said with tears in his eyes: "I've already reached 94 recently..."

Meng Bai was speechless. You are 168cm tall, is 94kg a very heavy number?

He looked at Li Qin with a confused look, but unexpectedly the girl nodded slightly in agreement.

"Listen to me, let's eat and drink." Meng Bai patted the table and said, "Get up in the morning and run ten kilometers with me, and you won't be late for dinner."

"..."

"..."

The two girls frowned at the same time when they heard this, obviously full of resistance to Meng Bai's proposal.

"You will die after ten kilometers!" Song Zhi said seriously.

"I didn't ask you to run 10 kilometers straight away." Meng Bai said, "You can start with 1 kilometer or 3 kilometers first."

Li Qin, who was standing by, said with a heavy expression, "The key is not the distance, but getting up early. If there is no work, who would get up so early in the morning?"

"That's right." Song Zhi echoed from the side, obviously agreeing with her words.

The two girls looked at each other, and for a moment they felt like they were close friends.

The atmosphere in the room was also much more relaxed than before.

"Alas, young people nowadays..."

Meng Bai shook his head with emotion, yet he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

Very good, as long as we can maintain this atmosphere, there shouldn't be any problems tonight.

Under the gaze of the two girls, Meng Bai quickly finished his meal.

While cleaning the table, he stopped Li Qin who wanted to help and said, "Just sit down. This is just something I can do."

Li Qin didn't think much about it and turned around and sat down.

But then, she found that Song Zhi had taken a rag and paper towels at some point and started wiping the table behind Meng Bai.

The two of them cooperated quite skillfully, just like a young couple who had just entertained guests.

The key point is that I seem to be the "guest" now.

Li Qin was a little conflicted. If they helped together, it would seem a bit artificial if she didn't get involved; but if she just sat there, she would feel like an outsider.

It's painful no matter how I think about it.

Looking at the tacit understanding between the two, Li Qin couldn't help but think that it must have been like this when they were in love before.

But when she thought of this, she calmed down a little.

So what if they had good cooperation? They broke up in the end anyway, which shows there was still a problem.

However, Li Qin frowned. It seemed that Song Zhi's behavior and tone were deliberately trying to match Meng Bai's.

Although it was done very covertly, she could still vaguely sense some clues after careful observation.

Could it be that she is still thinking about getting back together?

Well, it's not impossible. After breaking up, it's normal to want to get your ex-boyfriend back if you find that he or she has suddenly become successful.

And her behavior was quite clever. It seemed that she did not pounce directly on him, but chose a subtle approach.

Although he had no practical experience, as an "expert" with rich theoretical knowledge, Li Qin felt that he had seen it clearly.

Humph, I didn’t expect that this little girl, oh no, it should be this sister who is quite capable!

Li Qin thought about this in her heart, and at the same time, she also tore down the little recognition she had just established with the other party.

What she didn't notice was that she had unknowingly begun to subconsciously analyze the other women around Meng Bai.

Meng Bai quickly cleaned up the table and takeout boxes, and put the garbage at the door. Back in the room, he looked at Li Qin and said, "Where's the script? If there's anything you don't understand, please ask me now. Let's finish it early and have a rest."

If it was only Li Qin or Song Zhi alone tonight, he would definitely delay as long as possible.

But now that we are two people, it is better to separate as soon as possible.

Meng Bai has never had any idea of "the happiness of having three wives". According to his thinking, it would be best if all the girls he knows could never meet each other.

The best way to deal with danger is to stay away from it in the first place.

Just like this time, if it weren’t for the accident of the crew, there wouldn’t be such an embarrassing situation.

Fortunately, the relationship with these two girls is still under control, so the danger level is not high.

However, we must remember the lesson this time and never let these two girls participate in the same project in the future.

No, it should be three, and the same goes for Boss Li.

After looking at the script that Li Qin brought, Meng Bai found that this girl had really prepared very seriously. In just a few days, the script was marked with various notes and many sticky notes were pasted on the edges.

"What's the problem?" Meng Bai asked as he sat down.

Li Qin leaned closer to him so that it would be easier to show him the script.

"I feel like the relationship between Cheng Jinyun and Mingtai doesn't seem to be as close as a couple in the end, huh?"

"You have a pretty sharp intuition for words."

Meng Bai praised her and nodded, "Indeed, if we only take the ending of this story as the end point, the relationship between the two is just comrades and brothers-in-arms, and it has not gone deeper. This is mainly because during the previous filming, the role of the character 'Yu Manli' was increased, resulting in too much emotional line between her and the male lead. If the male lead's feelings are forcibly transferred later, it will easily cause resistance from the audience..."

When talking about business, he temporarily put aside his extraneous thoughts and carefully and meticulously explained the character settings and plot to Li Qin.

Looking at the two people huddled together, Song Zhi on the side couldn't help but pursed his lips.

If it was Li Qin who felt uncomfortable before, now it was her turn to feel uncomfortable.

Humph, just talk about the script, why are you getting so close?
The room is so small, can't you hear it if you sit far away?
In fact, she had searched for some news about Meng Bai and Li Qin on the Internet before.

Although most of them are just gossip, it can be seen that the relationship between the two is pretty good.

When he watched it before, although Song Zhi felt a little strange, he didn’t think too much about it.

After all, she and Meng Bai had broken up for so long, and she had no right to care about his relationship with other women.

However, because of the drama "The Pretender", the two met again, and Song Zhi found that he had not let go of his feelings at all.

So she chose to take the initiative and get back together with this "ex-boyfriend".

I originally thought it was quite simple. After all, Meng Bai didn’t have a new girlfriend. As long as I persisted, it should be fine in a year or two.

But now it seems that I thought it was a little simple.

She is not the only one walking this road.

But it doesn’t matter, I am not without advantages.

Take your time, the final result is still unknown!

As Meng Bai did not waste any time, the discussion was almost finished at just past nine o'clock.

Seeing that he couldn't think of any more questions for the time being, Li Qin stood up and said, "That's all for today. I'm going back."

"I send you."

Meng Bai stood up and stretched his neck, then said to Song Zhi, who had been sitting next to him for a long time and was about to fall asleep, "Miss, let's go back to sleep."

Song Zhi rubbed her eyes. She actually wanted to stay alone for a while.

But seeing that Li Qin was also looking at her, she was too embarrassed to say it, so she just responded and followed the two of them out.

"Are you going downstairs too?"

Song Zhi looked at Meng Bai suspiciously as he put on his coat.

"We have to see them off." Meng Bai whispered to her, then picked up the takeaway bag by the door and said, "It's a good time to go downstairs to throw away the trash."

Song Zhi frowned, and thought that there seemed to be some truth in it, so he said nothing more, and just reminded him: "Then you should come back early."

Meng Bai turned around and waved his hand to indicate that he understood, then took a few quick steps.

Hearing footsteps behind him, Li Qin looked back and saw him chasing after her, and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Nothing." Meng Bai shook his head: "It's so late, it's not safe for you to be alone, I'll take you there."

"No need, I just asked Jia Jia to pick me up via WeChat."

"Then I'll wait with you downstairs for a while." Meng Bai gestured to the bag in his hand: "It's a good time to go downstairs to throw away the trash."

The reason seemed convincing, and Li Qin no longer refused.

But she still looked back and said, "Why, you don't want to accompany your ex-girlfriend."

"You're already an adult, why do you still need my company..."

Meng Bai chuckled, but then froze.

"Wait, what did you just say?"
