Honest Beta gets scammed

He Xiangchen remembered that there was indeed such a scene in the script when he was acting with Li Qing, but he didn't expect it to turn out like this! Bandaging a wound took so long, if someone was really injured, they would have bled to death!

He pursed his lips, looked away from the monitor, and out of the corner of his eye noticed that Li Qing seemed to be looking in his direction as well.

He Xiangchen was silent for a few seconds, then said in a businesslike tone, "It would be best to delete this part."

"Huh?" The director was stunned.

"I said, delete it. As far as I know, this is a male-centric drama, right?"

"Uh, yes."

"Since it's a male-centric drama, the female lead is the male lead's woman. Having her go to such lengths to take care of a minor character, wiping her body and bandaging her wounds, and acting so intimately, might cause controversy. What do you think?"

Upon hearing this, the expressions of those around them became somewhat subtle.

Although no one knew He Xiangchen's exact identity, they could guess from the director's respectful attitude that he was an important figure who could not be offended.

This important figure's visit to the film set today was clearly aimed at Li Qing.

But now, he's publicly demanding that Li Qing's scenes be cut?

At first glance, this behavior seemed like a way to suppress Li Qing, but everyone present was shrewd and wouldn't think that way. They all guessed in the opposite direction.

He Xiangchen's one-sided affection couldn't be more obvious.

He had been in front of everyone for less than half an hour, and everyone could tell what he was thinking.

Only he himself felt that his demands at that moment were perfectly reasonable and fair.

His He Group is one of the investors in this drama, and he absolutely cannot let the investment lose money.

The success or failure of a drama often depends on these details. If one is not handled well, it can easily arouse the audience's disgust and lead to a decline in reputation.

He Xiangchen, who never watches TV dramas, was now thinking about it seriously, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that his decision was too wise.

The director stood to the side, deep in thought.

He could certainly sense that He Xiangchen's request was full of selfish motives, but upon closer reflection, it seemed to make some sense. Challenging the audience's acceptance of the main couple's relationship for a minor supporting role was indeed a bit risky.

After hesitating for a moment, the director nodded.

"You're right, Mr. He. We will adjust this scene later and try to present it in a more concise way."

"Um."

He Xiangchen was satisfied.

Seeing that the director had agreed, the others naturally had nothing more to say. Qu Qingzhe stepped in at this moment, breaking the stalemate, and everyone began to prepare for the next scene one after another.

The only person in the entire room who didn't realize He Xiangchen's one-sided affection was now walking towards He Xiangchen.

Li Qing originally wanted to walk over to He Xiangchen's side, but after watching He Xiangchen direct the project firsthand, he belatedly realized He Xiangchen's authority. The power of the title of the eldest young master of the He family seemed to be much greater than he had imagined.

Thinking this, Li Qing stopped in her tracks, suddenly feeling a little scared and hesitant to move forward.

He saw that He Xiangchen was still talking to the director, and thinking that his scenes for the day were all finished, he wondered if he should go change his clothes first.

He Xiangchen gave the director a few more instructions, and out of the corner of his eye, he noticed Li Qing walking towards him.

After waiting for a long time, he didn't hear anyone call him. When he turned around, he found Li Qing standing about ten meters away, neither too close nor too far. She didn't come over or look at him.

He Xiangchen was taken aback, his smugness vanishing instantly. He walked over to Li Qing's side, glanced at Li Qing's expression, and said softly, "Why aren't you coming over? Are you upset because I just cut your scenes? Then... shall we add them back?"

"what?"

Li Qing was still thinking about other things when he suddenly heard these words. He was stunned for a moment, then realized what they meant and quickly waved his hand.

"Of course not!"

He glanced around, then led He Xiangchen to the dressing room.

Upon entering the dressing room, Li Qing glanced around, paying particular attention to the area behind the clothes racks where people could easily hide. After confirming that there was no one else there, she turned to He Xiangchen and said, "I'm not upset, and what you said makes sense. Viewers watching TV might indeed have that feeling."

Li Qing was genuinely not angry.

He wasn't a superstar or a top influencer to begin with. When he first entered the industry, he hadn't been assimilated yet, so he didn't care much about the amount of screen time. No matter how much was cut, his salary was already deposited into his account.

He looked at He Xiangchen and suddenly laughed.

"I just suddenly realized that you seem to be much more capable than I thought. I was just surprised, so I didn't dare to get close to you."

"Seriously, the way you were talking to the director just like that CEO character in a TV drama!"

He Xiangchen nodded, though he didn't really understand.

The phrase "the CEO in the TV series" sounded a bit odd, but seeing that Li Qing wasn't angry, I couldn't help but feel a little relieved.

But then He Xiangchen felt something was wrong.

Why should he care so much about Li Qing's feelings?

I feel slightly unwell.

But he still had a smile on his face and said to Li Qing, "Pretty much the same, right?"

He is indeed the CEO.

In fact, if he wanted, his father could hand him the chairman's position tomorrow and then immediately take his mother on a spontaneous round-the-world trip.

But even that was enough to amaze Li Qing.

Although he had heard many people call He Xiangchen "President He" before, considering He Xiangchen's situation of being suppressed by his illegitimate brother and being unloved by his parents, Li Qing always thought that He Xiangchen was at most a nominal junior executive or a director of a peripheral department in his company.

I never expected it to actually be the CEO!

So fresh!

Regardless of the prestige of this CEO position or the extent of his actual power, there is no doubt that He Xiangchen is the first CEO Li Qing has encountered in real life in his twenty-eight years!

He had only ever seen this kind of role on television before.

Excitement welled up inside Li Qing, and his eyes lit up.

After changing his clothes, he didn't care where He Xiangchen wanted to take him and got into the car with He Xiangchen.

Sitting in the passenger seat, Li Qing's eyes swept over He Xiangchen before she finally couldn't help but ask, "Um, Mr. He, what does your CEO usually do?"

He Xiangchen didn't expect Li Qing to be so interested in this.

For him, the title of "CEO" was as commonplace as air. At any banquet he attended, at least half of the guests were titled "CEO".

Holding the steering wheel, He Xiangchen casually said, "Just normal work, like attending meetings, reading documents, signing contracts, and stuff like that."
