"Perform."
Qiao Sixiao smiled back at her, "But I will only make a guest appearance."
There was one thing Qin Wei didn't understand. In order to co up with an explanation, she had to bring out the least convincing excuse:
"I was in a car accident before and I can't rember many things clearly. People all say that you and I are rivals, but from the first ti I t you in the crew, I felt that our relationship was not bad.
You have always taken good care of and even took the initiative to help . This ti is the sa. In this industry, I have experienced backstabbing and undermining each other, but I have never heard of any artist who wholeheartedly helps her rival."
Qiao Sixiao helplessly smiled:
"You really smashed your brain in that accident huh, you can't rember things from the past. Today, didn't you see He Hong? What kind of person I am, isn't it all up to her?"
Li Yao said that stars are commodities that rely entirely on packaging by the managent company. Commodities should look good, cater to consurs' preferences. Only then will soone be willing to pay for you.
Therefore, Qiao Sixiao is outgoing and smiles happily in front of the cara and the dia. She can even joke around. But when alone with her, she rarely shows obvious expressions.
However...
"Do you always call your mom by her na directly?"
Sorry, I just had to ask.
Qiao Sixiao was very helpless. She glanced at Qin Wei and casually flipped another page of the script:
"Why care so much about these details?
Qin Wei, since you've forgotten everything from the past, then let tell you.
We used to be rivals indeed, but tell , among sisters in our industry, how many relationships can be trusted?
No one knows that in private, we don't know each other at all. You fought against for superiority and outshone each other. No matter how big the stars are, unless you can really be independent, no one can escape the company's arrangents, especially those authoritarian people like He Hong. Can she allow artists to disobey her?"
"So it's the sa now too?"
Qiao Sixiao put down the script, hooked the corner of her mouth, leaned over to Qin Wei's ear and asked her:
"Do you want to hear the truth?"
...
The next day, the filming continued. The crew brought Qin Wei to a famous waterfall scenic spot near the Honey Circle Town in a nearby nature park. Today's filming would mainly take place here.
Qin Wei changed into an ethnic costu and wore beautiful local jewelry. After the stylist adjusted everything for her, the day's filming began.
It was the sa for the third and fourth days, except that apart from seeing Qiao Sixiao on the first day, the two did not et at other tis because they were filming separately.
During the nights when they stayed over too, due to the vast lands of southwest China and having to travel between various attractions in different cities for filming, it was normal not to see each other.
Fortunately, the filming went smoothly. After finishing on the fourth day, Qin Wei went back to the capital with Li Yao.
When she ca out of the airport, she saw Xu Mingchuan was already waiting at the door to pick her up. He ca over to take her luggage for her and thoughtfully opened the car door for her.
Then Li Yao took a call and said to Xu Mingchuan:
"Mr. Xu, I'm taking a taxi to the company. Please send my ancestor back, I have a face-to-face eting with a client and I'll contact you guys afterwards."
After Qin Wei got into the car, she took the initiative to say to Xu Mingchuan:
"You are the big boss of a company, going through all this trouble to pick up. I'm really sorry to trouble you. Next ti, don't need to, I can go back myself next ti."
Xu Mingchuan was already used to her politeness, so he glanced at the rearview mirror:
"I just happened to have ti, it's okay. If you feel uncomfortable, I'll have the driver pick you up next ti. It must have been tiring for you along the way. Go ahead and take a nap, by the ti you wake up, we'll be ho."
Qin Wei sighed:
"I can't fall asleep. You don't need to send ho either, take to the City Chinese dicine Hospital. I'll register now to go get a massage at the Tuina departnt and take a look at my shoulders."
Xu Mingchuan frowned, and the car slowed down too. He stopped at the side of the road and turned to ask her:
"What happened? Your shoulders are injured? Did you get hurt while filming? Is it serious? How long has this been? Why didn't you ntion it earlier?"
Seeing him looking so worried, Qin Wei felt a little embarrassed on the contrary. She felt like she was making a fuss out of nothing, so she quickly explained:
"Nothing nothing, I just didn't rest well and my muscles were sore, that's all. If there are any work arrangents, I can go a little later."
"Then don't think about work for now."
Xu Mingchuan said while taking out his phone to take a look:
"Rest well today and tomorrow. If it's serious...then withdraw from the competition. Your health cos first."
"Huh???"
Qin Wei's eyes lit up.
"Can still withdraw? Won't I get fined?"
Xu Mingchuan: "..."
...
Changing the original route, Xu Mingchuan drove directly to take her to the Chinese dicine Hospital. To avoid being photographed by the paparazzi which would make it hard to explain things, Xu Mingchuan could only wait in the car while Qin Wei went to the Tuina departnt alone.
"Doctor, my shoulders hurt."
Wearing a mask and a hat, Qin Wei sat down and said to the doctor.
"Qin Wei, no one else is here, take off your hat."
The doctor advised her:
"It's really hard for to diagnose you like this."
"You can recognize even when I'm like this?"
Qin Wei was a little surprised. Since she had been recognized, she took off her hat and mask.
The doctor pointed at the computer screen:
"Qin Wei, Female, 22 years old, shoulder and neck pain. It's written right here!"
"Oh."
...
The doctor walked behind her and squeezed her shoulders with his hands:
"Your shoulders are very stiff. Were you up playing mahjong all night?
You really shouldn't do this in the future. Don't take advantage of your youth to neglect your health."
When she ca out of the hospital, Xu Mingchuan saw that she was not in good condition. He was originally worried about her physical condition, so he hurriedly got out of the car to et her:
"What's wrong?"
Qin Wei had a pained expression on her face:
"The expert outpatient clinic I registered hung up a sign to make money by pressing acupoints. I thought a thin young girl would be giving a massage. I didn't expect her to be so strong. She made cry from the intense massage on the spot. But now my whole shoulder feels much more relaxed."
Xu Mingchuan thought it was amusing. He pushed her to get into the car quicker, and said to her while driving:
"Go ho and have a good rest. I’ll make sure you really rest this ti."
Qin Wei hesitated for a mont, then said:
"Boss Xu, the doctor said my shoulders were quite serious and suggested I withdraw from the competition?"
Xu Mingchuan sneered coldly:
"I’ll contact your attending physician afterwards."
Qin Wei: "..."
...
This ti Xu Mingchuan really didn’t lie to her. The company didn't arrange a single job for her for a full two days. As the doctor said, she went back and soaked in a hot bath when she got ho to fully relax herself, then went to bed happily for a good rest.
She slept straight from 7pm until noon the next day.
If she hadn't been woken up by hunger, she felt that she might have slept until the opening ceremony of the next Olympics.
As she was eating stead chicken breast and two stalks of asparagus, she picked up her phone to check the hot searches.
It had been a long ti since she checked them. She felt like her mood improved significantly.
She tapped into the hot search rankings. The #1 hot search was—
