Chapter 203: The Domineering Female CEO's Daily Life of Protecting Her Husband (23)
For several days, Yan Cheng never contacted Shi Qi again.
Shi Qi felt numb and even a little anxious.
To apologize, she gave Yancheng a limited edition sports car and distributed a lot of red envelopes.
But they refused.
Logically, Yan Cheng would never refuse the money!
After thinking about it, Shi Qi finally understood that it was probably because he was upset with the child last time.
Is this...a cold war between the two of them?
"Tutu, where is Yancheng?" Shi Qi asked while curled up on the sofa, not in the mood to go to work.
"I'm still filming. There's no change in my blackening value and favorability value." Tutu said, his baby voice is quite endearing.
Shi Qi nodded, his eyes lit up as if he had thought of something.
......
Time flies, and winter has arrived before we know it.
Late in the night, Shi Qi wrapped himself in his coat. A cool breeze blew past him, and he couldn't help but sniff.
Filming location.
They were probably filming a pool party scene.
Shi Qi thought secretly.
In this kind of scene, normally, one of the poor heroines will fall into the water soon.
The loud music, the colorful light show, and the people twisting their bodies in the middle of the dance floor seemed to be enjoying themselves.
The man was too outstanding, and Shi Qi saw it at a glance.
At this time, the man was holding a wine glass, his eyes were a little blurred, with a rippling smile on his lips, and from time to time he was laughing and chatting with the actresses around him.
Dancing casually, abstinent yet seductive.
It was obvious that Shi Qi was standing in a dark corner, and Yan Cheng naturally didn't notice him.
Shi Qi shook his head and suppressed the sour feeling that flashed through his heart.
"Soon the heroine will be pushed into the water, and the hero will go to rescue her. Get your stunt double ready!" The director said as the camera suddenly flashed and aimed at the hero and heroine in the center.
The boy is noble and domineering, the girl is delicate and beautiful, the two talk and drink together, what a picture of a beautiful woman and a talented man.
Fortunately, Yan Cheng is a supporting male character who is not even the third male lead.
Finally, the highlight came. The dance ended, people in the venue began to move around, and the male and female protagonists came to the swimming pool, laughing and admiring the moon.
His eyes fell on Yan Cheng, who was holding a wine glass and walking towards the male and female protagonists with a smile on his face.
"Puff~"
"Puff~"
Two sounds of falling into the water were heard almost at the same time, and Shi Qi looked at Yan Cheng being pushed in, and the corner of his mouth twitched.
The child was pushed...?
Is there this... clip?
Yan Cheng fell into the water and was stunned for only a second before he was awakened by the freezing cold water.
He...can't swim!
But there was no time to think, because what followed was a suffocating surge and numbness in the limbs.
He tried hard to grab onto something, but all around him was the relentless flow of water.
Just when he thought he was going to faint, a pair of strong hands pulled him up.
"Hey, Yan Cheng, are you okay? Why are you so careless? Can you be more careful? What if you get into trouble by accident? Don't you want us to clean up the mess for you?" A man patted his face, seeming a little impatient.
Gradually regaining consciousness, Yan Cheng spit out the water in his mouth with difficulty, stood up and said, "I know, Brother Li, I'm sorry."
He knew this person, he was a screenwriter.
"Ah, Yancheng, are you okay? I'm so sorry, I accidentally bumped into you just now." Another boy rushed over in a panic and apologized embarrassedly.
But no matter how you look at it... there's only pride and mockery in his eyes.
Yan Cheng lowered his head, suppressing his emotions, and raised his head again, still smiling as always: "It's okay, it's okay, continue shooting."
The male and female protagonists on the other side had long been replaced by unknown stand-ins, and were now sitting on a recliner, wrapped in a warm down jacket.
Dry and warm...just the opposite of Yan Cheng who looked pale.
"Hiss, the previous one won't work. But Yan Cheng, I have a good idea for your move. There's nothing interesting about just having the hero save the heroine. I'll arrange a love line for you, and you can jump into the water to save her. In this way, you'll have a chance to act with a big actor, right?" The man called Brother Li's eyes lit up, and he seemed very satisfied with his suggestion.
"Brother Li, I...I can't swim, or..."
"You, you, you, what do you mean by you? Do you know that being an actor is a job that requires hard work? You little brat, don't be ungrateful. Okay, if you don't want to act, I have someone who will do it. Hey, you think you're a big shot just because you have a little fame!?" The man said, pointing fingers at Yan Cheng with a look of disdain on his face.
The man who had pushed Yan Cheng just now was now standing aside with his arms crossed, with obvious sarcasm in his eyes.
Yan Cheng clenched his fist, but finally loosened it: "I didn't mean that. Brother Li is right. I should practice more."
He was used to hearing a lot of people's sarcasm and ridicule, but he was not a saint after all, and he still didn't like these harsh words.
But he definitely couldn't stop performing this play. This was the first time he found a play on his own without relying on the little girl.
"Pfft!"
"Pfft!"
"..."
The tenth time, Shi Qi still stopped talking in dissatisfaction, and finally Shi Qi could no longer hold back his anger. He took off his coat and ran towards the swimming pool on the set.
"Hey, who are you? This is a filming location...you, ah!" With a bang, the man was pushed to the ground by Shi Qi.
It was obvious that these people were making things difficult for Yan Cheng. She thought that as an actor, it was good to go through some hardships, so even if those two people said nasty things, she silently endured it for the sake of her children.
But this doesn’t mean that they can use various tricks to make Yan Cheng go into the water dozens of times! ?
It’s such a cold day, and there are still such a bad group of people!
This time when he went into the water, Yan Cheng was already exhausted, his mind was blank, and his fingers kept twitching, but he still struggled hard to get up.
But the result... was his own downfall.
What should I do, Qiqi, I seem to...can’t open my eyes.
My chest... hurts too.
So cold... so icy.
Just before Yan Cheng closed his eyes, a pair of hands gently embraced him.
Unlike the person who pulled him before, these hands were very gentle, making him feel...particularly familiar.
The little girl opened her eyes with great effort, held her breath, and sealed his lips.
He carefully snatched the air from Shi Qi's mouth, not daring to use force.
She pulled him upstream, like a lone boat swaying with mayflies, creating ripples.
In addition to gratitude, he felt more apologetic.
It was such a cold day, but the little girl went into the water because of him.
With a "splash", Shi Qi and Yan Cheng poked their heads out and struggled to get ashore, only to find that the shore was surrounded by people.
"Who are you? Get out now and don't disturb our filming!" said the man who had just been pushed down rudely.
Shi Qi raised his eyes, feeling ashamed.
It was he who pushed Yan Cheng into the water just now.
"Who am I? Come closer, can you see clearly?" Shi Qi wrapped Yan Cheng's coat, approached the man with a faint smile on his face.
The man was stunned and said in silence: "Shi... Mr. Shi?"
"Sigh~"
The whole audience gasped.
The director reacted quickly and brought a stove and chairs.
"Mr. Shi... Mr. Shi, are you cold? Warm up quickly. The environment here is not good. I wonder if you would come..." The director said flatteringly with a fawning look on his face.
Shi Qi didn't sit down either, but just looked at the three men coldly.
"If I hadn't come, I wouldn't know when this kind of trend has emerged in our circle?" Shi Qi frowned slightly, his tone sharp.
The director was stunned: "What does Mr. Shi mean by this?"
"What do I mean? Didn't you know after seeing Yan Cheng? Why, I didn't know that nowadays people have to deliberately create obstacles to train actors. No wonder they dare to bully Yan Cheng, it turns out that you, the great director, tacitly approved it." Shi Qi suddenly realized and patted the director on the shoulder.
The director was stunned, and felt the hand on his shoulder, so cold that it could even... crush him to death easily.
He was regretting it so much now. If he had known that Shi Qi would come, he would have treated Yan Cheng well.
But now...
"Mr. Shi, you misunderstood me. This matter has nothing to do with me. This was all the idea of Li Ang and that guy Cheng Qian. Isn't this also for the effect of the TV series?" The man said, lowering his head and not daring to look at Shi Qi.
The two people who were named were stunned and said angrily: "Director Chen! You! It was obviously you who acquiesced. It was you who said that Yan Cheng needed more discipline!"
Shi Qi snorted coldly. He had no desire to listen to this dog-eat-dog drama any further.
"Ah, it's okay, I know you want the show to be popular, I understand." Shi Qi nodded.
"Haha, yes, yes, it's good that Mr. Shi understands. We did something wrong. We will change it immediately. How about letting Yan Cheng be the male lead?" The director said in a flattering manner.
Shi Qi shook his head: "How can this be possible? People will accuse me of being partial and bending the law."
"I have a good suggestion to increase the popularity of the show, but... I need your help. Director Chen, what do you think?" The girl's tone was light, as if she was talking about what to eat today, but when they listened, they were very afraid.
"Mr. Shi... Mr. Shi, please say so!" Although the director was afraid, he did not dare to refuse.
"Well, Yan Cheng just stayed in the water for a full hour and five minutes. Otherwise, you three could do three times as much. How about that? This title is hot enough, isn't it? 'Three directors take an ice water challenge for the show' will definitely be a big hit!" Shi Qi clapped his hands and laughed.
"Shi... Mr. Shi, this is not good, in the middle of winter." The three of them shrank back, regretting it already in their hearts.
"Ah, you guys will feel cold too, but have you ever thought that Yan Cheng will feel cold too? Well, no need to apologize, it's so low and sounds unlucky. I'm in a hurry and someone will be watching you." Shi Qi said, without looking back at those people, and quickly pulled Yan Cheng out of the set.
If she wasn't afraid that the children couldn't bear it, she would punish them herself.
But right now, the children are more important.
Yan Cheng looked at his tightly held hands and ran, feeling warm in his heart.
No matter what time it is, she always has a way...
Make him happy.
