Huayu 2021: Isn’t he in the technology field?

Chapter 105 Sister Meng, whose mouth moves faster than her brain
Ten minutes later, filming resumed on set.

Jiang Qing sat next to Guo Hu, her eyes still burning with desire as she looked at Meng Ziyi on the monitor.

Although he had just been glared at and warned, Sister Meng's previous rosy-cheeked and charming appearance was truly captivating, and even now, thinking back on it, he still felt a little distracted.

That was a completely different feeling from modern styles.

At this moment, she on the monitor had regained her proud and arrogant demeanor as a celestial fairy. With a light sway of her wide sleeves, her pale gold shawl swirled into flowing clouds in the blower.

She was acting opposite Yang Zi, who looked much more serious than before, but her character was still much more lively than Sister Meng's, which suited her very well.

This was Jiang Qing's first time watching the filming of a period drama live. Although it was a bit hot, she was still very excited.

Before we knew it, time had slipped away and the sky was gradually darkening.

"Card!"

At 6:30, Guo Hu shouted into the walkie-talkie.

"knock off!"

As soon as the voice fell, cheers erupted from the audience. Actors Meng Ziyi, Yang Zi, and others expressed their gratitude to the staff members on the side, repeatedly saying "Thank you for your hard work."

Jiang Qing stood up and watched this scene. Seeing Meng Ziyi chatting familiarly with the staff, she believed what Meng Ziyi had said before that she was very popular on set.

As the studio lights went out one by one, the film set looked like an overturned anthill.

The extras, carrying their hoods, rushed towards the dressing room, taking off their clothes as they went; no one wanted to be a step slower in the sweltering heat.

As Jiang Qing stood up to make way, she was bumped into by a stagehand carrying a camera track, causing her to stumble and her back to hit the cold palace wall.

"Jiang Qing, be careful!"

Meng Ziyi, lifting her skirt, squeezed through the crowd and called out in a panic.

"fine."

Jiang Qing waved to the stagehand to indicate that he was alright, then turned to Meng Ziyi and smiled lightly.

"Be careful, there are many people on the film crew, and it's getting dark."

Meng Ziyi, still feeling uneasy, gave another word of advice.

"it is good."

Jiang Qing nodded with her eyebrows curved.

"Meng Meng!"

At this moment, Yang Zi's voice pierced through the layers of people.

"Come and take off your headdress!"

She stood at the entrance of the dressing room, holding a hair removal tool, looking just like Sun Wukong wielding his golden cudgel.

"Coming!"

Meng Ziyi turned her head and responded, then exchanged a glance with Jiang Qing before lifting her skirt and jogging over.

Jiang Qing slowly followed behind her, keeping pace with her every step.

Upon entering, a strong smell of makeup remover wafted from the changing room.

Jiang Qing watched as the stylist pressed Meng Ziyi in front of the mirror to remove her hair bun. The gold foil floral decorations mixed with hair wax were wiped away with cotton pads, and the bright and beautiful fairy instantly turned back into a girl with a bare face.

She rubbed her hairline, wincing in pain.

"Sister, be gentle, be gentle!"

The makeup artist nodded with a smile.

Jiang Qing chatted with Zhou Ye, glancing at her every now and then, and couldn't help but smile when she saw this.

At this moment, Cheng Yi changed back into a hoodie and jeans and came over.

"Does President Jiang have any plans for later?"

His smile was shy, and he looked more like a science student than Jiang Qing.

"One of the actresses in our crew finished filming today, and we agreed to get together tonight. Ziyi is coming too, and so is President Jiang?"

"Oh, is that so? I almost forgot to tell you."

Meng Ziyi almost forgot about this and looked at Jiang Qing embarrassedly.

That means they won't be able to eat alone today.

"or……"

She wanted to ask Jiang Qing to leave first and wait for her to finish, fearing he would find it troublesome, but Yang Zi covered her mouth as soon as she opened her mouth.

Little Snow Girl blinked her still bright and lively eyes at Jiang Qing.

"Mengmeng means, how about we go together?"

Guo Hu swaggered over carrying a thermos, goji berries floating on the rim.

"Mr. Jiang, would you mind getting together sometime?"

He glanced at Meng Ziyi.

"Ziyi shouldn't have any objections, right?"

When Meng Ziyi saw his teasing gaze through the mirror, her cheeks flushed slightly.

"Better to arrive at the right time than to arrive early, so I'll just freeload a meal."

Seeing that Meng Ziyi was about to speak again, Jiang Qing smiled and interrupted her.

Her gaze swept over him, and seeing him nod slightly, she fell silent, but her heart felt as sweet as if she had eaten honey.

And so, the matter was settled.

As dusk settled over the film studio, Jiang heard a clear complaint coming from ahead.

Where are my height-increasing shoes?

At the entrance to the changing room, Meng Ziyi was hopping on one foot, searching for her shoes.

Jiang Qing's eyes lit up when she saw her in casual clothes.

After shedding her glamorous attire, Meng Ziyi changed into a denim overall outfit, looking refreshingly sweet while exuding a casual and carefree vibe.

The pure and elegant off-white camisole made her skin look even whiter, and the style of the shoulder straps exposed a large area of ​​skin, which was very eye-catching.

The three-dimensional flower decoration on the right chest breaks the monotony of the solid color, making the style of the camisole more gentle and artistic, and more girlish.

The bottom is paired with jeans, creating a stylish, sexy, and youthful look when combined with the tank top.

The combination of the light and delicate feel of the tank top and the fashionable and casual style of jeans makes the whole person look more charming and sweet.

By using a short top and long bottom, the waistline is raised, improving body proportions and instantly creating the visual effect of long legs.

She has a very slender figure, with thin straps draped over her shoulders, perfectly showcasing the delicate frame of her body and the sexiness of her collarbones, highlighting her physical advantages.

Jiang Qing was admiring the sight and was about to step forward when Yang Zi appeared carrying a pair of Crocs.

"Make do with these, grandma. It'll be too late and the cucumbers will get cold."

"Okay, thank you, Teacher Yang."

Meng Ziyi grinned and thanked him. After quickly putting on her shoes, she looked up and saw Jiang Qing. She immediately ran over to him.

"Let's go, I'm all better now."

She smiled radiantly.

"it is good."

Jiang Qing looked at her curved eyebrows and nodded gently.

Seeing the two turn and leave side by side, Yang Zi sighed, holding his forehead.

Have they completely forgotten about her?
The night in Hengdian awakens amidst neon signs.

As they passed through a side gate of the Ming and Qing Palace Garden, they stumbled upon a film crew setting up equipment for a night shoot.

A green screen enveloped half the hall, and a drone hovered in mid-air like a glowing mayfly.

Meng Ziyi hopped and skipped to avoid the cables on the ground, the little yellow duck on her Crocs shaking with each step.

"Slower."

Jiang Qingxu tried to support her elbow, but she grabbed his sleeve instead.

"Look!" she exclaimed, pointing to the stuntman who was suspended by wires.

"It's way cooler than the scenery during the day!"

It was a fantasy drama production crew, and the actor in white was wielding a sword and thrusting it into the void, performing unknown sword techniques.

The blower dispersed their conversation, leaving only Meng Ziyi's excited profile illuminated by the flickering light.

Jiang Qing looked at her, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously turned up.

Before long, they arrived at the dinner venue.

The lanterns of Zuixianlou sway at the end of the antique-style street. The name is anything but modern, but it is a place where many film crews often gather for meals.

The waiter recognized Guo Hu and led them directly to a private room on the second floor.

As they went upstairs, the wooden steps creaked. Yang Zi suddenly pulled Meng Ziyi down two steps and squinted at her.

"Confess and you will be rewarded with leniency!"

She poked the soft flesh on her friend's waist.

"When did this happen?"

"Wh...what?!"

Meng Ziyi blushed and covered her mouth, and the two girls laughed and joked together.

Jiang Qing glanced back, a slight smile playing on her lips, before continuing upstairs.

Outside the private room window, the moon over Hengdian hangs above the antique-style eaves.

Upon entering the private room, Jiang Qing finally met the actress they had mentioned who had finished filming, a young girl named Yang Xizi.

With shoulder-length short hair and a sweet appearance, she is said to be playing the role of Linlang, the fox princess, but in his opinion, she doesn't resemble her at all.

In my mind, foxes are all the seductive and alluring type, so having Sister Meng play her would be a perfect fit.

"Hello, Mr. Jiang, I am Yang Xizi."

Yang Xizi never expected to meet the famous Dr. Jiang here. She had just been following the gossip about him on Weibo while waiting, and now the person in question appeared right in front of her. It was too amazing.

And the person in question really does seem quite handsome!
"Hello, I'm Jiang Qing."

Jiang Qing chuckled when she saw the actress suddenly spring up from the bench, and smiled and nodded at her.

"Jiang Qing, I forgot to tell you, Xi Zi is my junior at the Beijing Film Academy."

Meng Ziyi walked up to Jiang Qing, put her arm around Yang Xizi's shoulder, and introduced him to him.

"So, isn't my junior cute?"

She raised her chin with a smug look.

Jiang Qing smiled and nodded in agreement.

"Indeed, she's much cuter than you."

"Jiang Qing, are you trying to skip out on the free meal?"

Meng Ziyi immediately became unhappy and threatened him fiercely.

Just kidding, you're still the cutest.

He readily compromised.

"Hmph~ That's more like it."

Meng Ziyi rolled her eyes at him playfully, then pulled Yang Xizi, who was covering her mouth and chuckling, to sit down with her.

"President Jiang, you're too easily frightened. You'd bow down for a pittance?"

Yang Zi brushed past him and sat down, joking with a smile.

"We're supposed to be a powerful CEO, you need to step up your game! For example..."

Her eyes darted around.

"Buy the entire Drunken Immortal Pavilion!"

A burst of laughter immediately erupted in the private room.

"Then forget it. Doesn't Teacher Yang know that business is tough these days?"

At Meng Ziyi's prompting, Jiang Qing sat down to her right and responded with a word.

"Even the landlord's family has no surplus grain, so it's best to take advantage of any meal we can get."

He said with a sigh.

Is it really that hard to get by in the tech industry?

Yang Zi looked at him with suspicion, but cooperated perfectly.

"So this isn't about switching careers to become an actor just to make a living."

Jiang Qing replied with a smile.

"Now that you mention it, it really makes sense! Great!"

Yang Zi gave him a thumbs up.

Jiang Qing cupped his hands in a respectful gesture and finally understood why Meng Ziyi had told him that the male leads of this Xiaoxue girl had all become her buddies.

That really sounds like a boy's personality.

"Teacher Yang, are you two putting on a charade?"

At this moment, Cheng Yi replied with a smile.

"Then look!"

Yang Zichong proudly raised his chin at him.

"You guys continue, I'll just watch it like a show."

Guo Hu interjected, resting his chin on his hand, seemingly already used to this situation.

Jiang Qing guessed that the people present were already used to it.

Soon, everyone at the table joined the group chat, which only quieted down when the drunken crab was served.

Meng Ziyi dipped a crab leg in vinegar and ate it, but her eyes followed Jiang Qing's chopsticks.

"Taste this."

Jiang Qing pushed the prepared crab meat over, and the glazed porcelain plate made the crab roe look even more tempting.

Just as Meng Ziyi was about to pick up her chopsticks, Yang Zi suddenly raised her cup and looked at Yang Xizi.

"Xi Zi, happy wrap-up!"

The plum wine in her glass spilled over the rim, startling Cheng Yi who was standing next to her.

Everyone laughed and then raised their glasses together, creating a very harmonious atmosphere.

After a few rounds of drinks, Guo Hu began to talk at length about the industrialization of film and television.

Cheng Yi tapped the bowls and plates with his chopsticks as accompaniment, while Yang Zi idly folded his napkin into a scholar's hat.

Meng Ziyi listened with her chin in her hand, then suddenly turned to look at Jiang Qing.

"Why would you try to compete with Bai Jingting for the role of [The Beginning]? I heard he was already cast as the male lead?"

Her cheeks were slightly flushed from the alcohol. Although she wasn't drunk, her mouth was always faster than her brain, just like always.

Only after blurting it out did she realize there were other people present.

Sure enough, as soon as she spoke, the noise in the private room immediately subsided, and everyone turned their attention to Jiang Qing.

They were also very curious about this.

It wasn't a secret that Bai Jingting was cast as the male lead in "The Beginning." After all, at last year's Star Awards, Bai Jingting told everyone that he hadn't received any work for a long time and hoped that the directors and producers present would give him more opportunities. Hou Hongliang was in the audience at the time, and soon after, news broke that Noon Sunshine had cast him in their new drama.

Who would have thought that Jiang Qing would cause such a change?

Seeing Meng Ziyi's apologetic expression, Jiang Qing shook her head indifferently.

Facing the gazes of everyone, he smiled and put down his chopsticks.
