Lin Qinghe looked up and saw it was You Rong. She quickly nodded and said, "It's nothing... I just lost my balance. Thank you."
You Rong helped Lin Qinghe down from the chair and looked up at the pasted "xi" characters. "If you can't reach something, you can call for someone else. Your right ankle is still injured."
"It's fine, it was just an accident. Besides, the bridal chamber is already decorated, with 'xi' characters, balloons, and streamers all done. How's the setup outside? Is it done?"
You Rong: "It's all done. Let's go, we're heading back. Zhou Cheng'nian borrowed a barbecue grill from the hosts, and they gave us a lot of ingredients. Let's go back and have a barbecue."
Lin Qinghe smiled and nodded heavily, "Okay!"
The hosts were very satisfied with the wedding venue decorated by the five of them. They thanked them repeatedly and insisted on giving them more gifts before letting them leave.
Back in the small courtyard, Lin Qinghe was in charge of starting the charcoal fire, while the others handled the ingredients. You Rong marinated the ingredients, and soon they were ready to start barbecuing.
Zhou Cheng'nian bit into the lamb skewers grilled by You Rong and praised them incessantly. He happily poured beer for everyone, "Come... You Rong, Sister Qinghe, let's have a drink. This is the beer the hosts specially gave us when they heard we were having a barbecue! Beer with barbecue, perfect!"
When You Rong brought over a large plate of grilled food, the five of them raised their glasses and took a hearty drink.
Wen Qianyi teased, "The recording of this episode of 'Simple Life' really owes a lot to Sister Qinghe and You Rong. If it weren't for their good cooking skills and many talents, we would have gone hungry for at least three days and nine meals. How could we be eating meat and drinking like this now!"
Zheng Yi strongly agreed, "Yeah! I saw the guests from the previous season, they were miserable at first. They were either starving or exhausted from hard work every day, hehe... In that case, are we the easiest group of guests on this show?"
"That's all thanks to Sister Qinghe and You Rong! Come... let's toast them again!"
The five of them ate and drank, chatting and laughing for a while. The production crew staff came over and suggested they talk about something emotional or share past experiences, which would fit the current atmosphere and be good for creating buzz when the show aired.
Zhou Cheng'nian recounted his experiences as a trainee before his debut, the high-intensity training, body management, and spending holidays alone in a foreign land where he knew no one. It was quite heart-wrenching. Perhaps it was due to the alcohol or other reasons, but his eyes were slightly red at the end.
Wen Qianyi and Zheng Yi also shared happy and unhappy stories. When it was You Rong's turn, the camera turned to him. He lowered his gaze slightly, remained silent for a few seconds, and said faintly, "I have nothing to say. I like acting, so I became an actor. That's all."
You Rong's words were light, but everyone could see that he was unwilling to mention the process of suddenly becoming a top star and then becoming someone everyone in the entertainment industry avoided within a few short months.
The camera turned to Lin Qinghe again. Her heart stirred. She picked up the beer in front of her and drank it all in one go. She put down the glass, looked at You Rong deeply, and when everyone was confused, she looked at the camera and said in a low voice, "There's something that has been bothering me for two years, I can't forget it at all..."
Lin Qinghe paused, "Two years ago, I said something, and everyone misunderstood its meaning. I didn't mean it that way at all, but everyone thought... I tried desperately to explain, but there was no way to explain it. Not only did my team not allow it, but others also went out of their way to misinterpret my meaning... This incident caused an innocent person to suffer a lot of bad things. I don't know how to apologize to him, I don't know what to do, but I've always tried to explain, but I couldn't..."
As soon as she finished speaking, everyone except Lin Qinghe was secretly shocked.
Even though Lin Qinghe didn't explicitly state it, everyone could guess that it was about the incident two years ago when she allegedly posted on Weibo accusing You Rong of assaulting her.
Her words clearly indicated that someone had prevented her from explaining and had deliberately slandered You Rong, including her own management team.
If these words were broadcast, they would definitely cause a huge public outcry online.
Zheng Yi and the others were shocked that Lin Qinghe dared to say anything. You Rong's eyes were slightly complex, and he wondered what Lin Qinghe was trying to do.
Was this another tactic of hers to create hype?
However, upon reflection, You Rong felt it didn't matter. The production crew would definitely edit it, and these words would likely not be broadcast.
While the production crew wanted buzz, such topics and public opinion could easily backfire, and they wouldn't choose to take that risk.
You Rong didn't know that Lin Qinghe had chosen to clarify the incident on the show, and she would definitely need to find Zhang Shanghua to help ensure that these words wouldn't be edited out.
The atmosphere of the recording became a bit strange. Lin Qinghe seemed slightly tipsy, staring intently at You Rong, her guilt clearly visible on her face.
You Rong's expression was calm, lost in thought, and he didn't respond.
With the two of them silent, the others didn't know what topic to bring up next.
Finally, the director of the production crew spoke up, saying that the recording for the day was over, and that Lin Qinghe had drunk a little too much. He asked Wen Qianyi to help her back to rest, and the heart-to-heart session finally ended.
Back in the room and lying down, Lin Qinghe closed her eyes, unable to sleep.
It seemed she would have to find an opportunity to call Zhang Shanghua and get You Rong's debt and contract with Aurora Entertainment sorted out as soon as possible to continue progressing.
Lin Qinghe didn't expect that as soon as she thought of it, it happened. The next morning, the director of the production crew came and said, "We're pausing recording for one day today. Director Zhang Shanghua is coming to visit. He's booked a private room at a restaurant in town and wants to treat everyone to a meal."
Zheng Yi listened with disbelief, "Really? Director Zhang Shanghua is coming? He's coming to visit us?"
Zhang Shanghua was a well-known director, and he was one of the producers of "Simple Life," with his film company producing and distributing it. However, him personally visiting the set was quite surprising to them.
The director of the production crew said, "That's right, Director Zhang Shanghua is indeed coming to visit, so we're pausing the recording for a day. I've checked your schedule, and adding another day of recording shouldn't conflict. Zhang Shanghua is already waiting at the restaurant, so we need to hurry." Su Dan Novel Network.
Zhou Cheng'nian was younger, and although he hadn't transitioned into acting, he greatly admired Zhang Shanghua. Hearing the director's words, he was extremely excited, "Okay! Let's go! Don't keep Director Zhang Shanghua waiting too long!"
The group got into the car, which then drove towards the hotel in town that Zhang Shanghua had booked.
In the car.
Lin Qinghe secretly took out her phone and sent a message to Zhang Shanghua, warning him to be careful with his words later and not to reveal their father-daughter relationship.
Otherwise, how could she expect Zhang Shanghua to sign You Rong to his company!
