Don't do it!
In late May, after more than a month of investigation, the chairman of the board of directors was extradited back to China. In order to meet him in person, Qi Xingchen took a vacation to go back home.
It is not a good idea for a public figure to appear in the Public Security Bureau, but Qi Xingchen did not bother to disguise himself and waltzed in. What was hard for him was that he got the news that the prisoners had been recovered, but not the money.
In other words, the Keyes' shipment was a bust.
After greeting the guards of the city council and following the procedure to enter the visiting room, a man in his forties was already waiting inside. Qi Xingchen sat down opposite him, politely saying, "Director Li, nice to meet you."
"Nice to meet you," Director Li said with a slightly numb expression, "You're one of the Kis, aren't you?"
Qi Yunxiao had been here before him. The brothers looked so much alike that there was no denying it, Qi Xingchen nodded.
"I'm sorry to have caused you loss," Director Li apologized, "the court should decide how to sentence, I plead guilty to all."
When Qi Yunxiao came to ask about it, he had the same reaction, saying only that the company's efficiency was getting worse and worse, and that if it continued to operate, it might lose money, so he did not think clearly for a moment and ran away with the investors' money.
Most economic crimes are committed out of a desire for money, and the Qi family and the Public Security Bureau can say nothing about this. Qi Xingchen also could not say anything, he guessed that there was a ghost in this case, but unfortunately he could not get any concrete evidence.
"Well, since you put it that way, my family will admit it," Qi Xingchen softened his voice, "Ai, what a shame."
Director Li snorted, "Pity about what? My career? The fact that I went to jail in the prime of my life? These your brother said, thanks for the lift."
"No," Qi Xingchen shook his head, "I'm an actor, I didn't go into business, I don't know much about the business world, I'm more sorry about your family. At your age, your children should be in middle school, right?"
Director Li is silent.
"I have a younger brother too, my brother's classmate is a fan of mine and asked him for my autograph a while back,"
Qi Xingchen sighed, "Nowadays, children are particularly keen on comparison, after you were imprisoned, your child's status jumped from being a second generation rich person, and his classmates will surely ostracize him. If his classmates know that his father is an economic rice and is serving a prison sentence, they might even always mock him."
As he spoke, Qi Xingchen carefully observed Director Li's expression. When it came to the child being ostracized, the other party's expression froze for a moment.
Qi Xingchen knew he had guessed correctly.
Director Li has children and loves her children.
The first communication point to point is enough, say more seems too deliberate, Qi Xingchen make a look of regret, get up, "Then wait for the court to decide, I still have things, will not stay longer, goodbye."
Without waiting for Director Li's reply, he left the visiting room in style.
In order to open Tao Xuan's injury report, Qi Xingchen came to the city bureau, and the director of the city bureau treated him very well and did him a lot of favors. It's not polite not to say hello when you're here. Qi Xingchen went up to the top floor and just stepped into the director's office, and then Director Jiang saw him.
"Aigoo, great nephew," Jiang Bureaus hurriedly greeted him, "Have a seat, when did you come?"
"Just arrived not long ago," Qi Xingchen smiled, "It's been a while since I've seen you, you're in better spirits."
"Haha, don't laugh at uncle, uncle is not as handsome as you youngsters."
Qi Xingchen praised him a few times, giving him a big smile. The City Council is busy, plus their status should not be close contact, chatting for almost five minutes, Qi Xingchen said he had something to do, refused the other party's invitation to dinner, ready to catch the red-eye flight back to the film city.
Before leaving the door, Jiang Bureau a slap in the head: "By the way, great nephew, recently someone frequently inquired about Xu Sheng's case, but also to look at his file, is it your side of the people do not?"
...... Xu Sheng?
Qi Xingchen almost forgot about the man if the other man hadn't mentioned it, shaking his head, "No, my family stopped paying attention to his condition a long time ago."
"Then it may be that his father, Xu Changlin, wants to help him reduce his sentence, and is trying to find connections on my side. I'll find out who it is. It's okay, big nephew, you take care on the road."
.
As a father, it's only natural to want to reduce his son's sentence and let him see the light of day sooner, so Qi Xingchen didn't think too much about it and rushed back to the movie city overnight.
With him and the female lead getting into better shape, the shooting of Red Sun progressed almost ten days faster than originally planned, and the one day of vacation he took did not delay the progress. When he was putting on his makeup in the morning, the director came to see him: "Xiao Qi, I heard you took a red-eye flight last night. Don't bother next time, take a good night's rest, it's not a matter of a few hours."
"It's okay Director Zheng, it's embarrassing enough to take time off, I can't afford to delay half a day more."
Zheng smacked his lips, "My upper part of the theater of the fresh meat rolling a play is half a month away, half a day is no big deal,....... By the way, today's thirty-six scenes of friendly cameo into the group, you two know, shoot up should be more silky smooth, let's quickly, she acted also have to go back to the next door, okay?"
Recognize?
Qi Xingchen gave an "OK" sign, "Okay, I'll read the script again."
Scene 36 is a scene in which the main character, Wu Jingtong, is wounded and has a confrontation with a nurse in a field hospital. The whole scene has few lines and is emotionally demanding.
In order to imitate the effect of a leg injury, Jiang Jiang cut a small hole in his pants leg and sprinkled it with simulated blood plasma. After everything was done, Qi Xingchen hypnotized himself "I am now a cripple, I am now a cripple", while mimicking the walking posture of a wounded leg, so that he could adapt to it as soon as possible.
Limping out of the rest room, he saw who Director Jung referred to as "someone he knew".
I can't believe it's Tao Tao.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Tao Xuan said goodbye to Tao Tao's hospital, and he and Tao Tao never met again. He had sent a private detective to follow Tao Tao before, but he didn't see any abnormality in Tao Tao's behavior.
Director Jung thought they were pretty close, but it was actually a solid plastic friendship.
"Okay, let's get the actors in position," Director Zheng's voice came out of the loud speaker, "Xiao Qi, Tao Tao, let's try to get through this once and for all haha!"
Qi Xingchen looked at Tao Tao, and led the way to lie in the center of the hospital bed. Tao Tao also did not say anything, picked up the prop tray and stood outside the door of the hospital room.
The floor manager hits the boards, "Red Sun, scene 36, act 1, one shot at a timeAction!"
The midday sun was beating down on Wu Jingtong's unconscious face through the broken windows of the field hospital. Wu Jingtong's eyelashes fluttered. The pain in his legs and the loss of blood had made his eyelids feel like they were pressed against a large stone, and he couldn't open them.
After a few moments, he finally struggled to open his eyes and looked around blankly.
--Where is this?
"Company Commander Wu, you're awake," at that moment the nurse came in with a tray of medicine, "I'm going to change your medicine, it might hurt a little, bear with me."
Saying that, the nurse untied the gauze on his leg, wiped the wound and then sprinkled anti-inflammatory drugs. The anti-inflammatory medication was very painful, Wu Jingtong's brows frowned unnoticeably, "Comrade, am I in the hospital?"
"Yes. You were wounded by a bullet in the leg last night and were taken to the hospital by your comrades."
"How's the front line," Wu Jingtong asked, "Did you win the encounter last night?"
"I'm not sure about the specifics, I heard that the enemy sent reinforcements, and it seems like the fight isn't over yet."
Upon hearing this, Wu Jingtong sat up with a swish and was about to get out of bed with his bare feet. The tray containing the medicine was accidentally swept to the floor by him, and the medicine bottles tinkled and rolled down all over the place.
The nurse hurriedly stopped it, "Company Commander Wu, lie down, you can't move your legs!"
"I can't, my brothers in 2nd and 5th Company need me."
The nurse was anxious: "But your leg is injured, it's useless to go there!"
"Then I'll go too, originally the enemy army was twice as numerous as ours, it's even better to have support, one more gun is one more power!!!"
Wu Jingtong dragged his leg out of the room, the wound that was accidentally torn during the struggle began to ooze crimson blood again. The nurse immediately chased after him, her tone urgent, "Company Commander Wu, if you don't properly recuperate, your leg will be ruined!"
This leg will be ruined?
Wu Jingtong turned back suddenly and gave a cold smile, "What's the point of having a wasted leg."
He shuffled back again, stopped in front of the nurse, stared into his red bloodshot eyes, and said, word for word, "Do you know how many men there were in the second and fifth companies originally?"
"Together, three hundred and twenty-six warriors."
"Do you know how many men were left to cross the river?"
"One hundred and fourteen remain, then the remaining two hundred and twelve, all ...... Lay long in the land and in the river."
"That's two hundred and thirteen lives, I'm only missing a leg in the district, what's that?!"
Wu Jingtong's lips trembled as he gritted his teeth, "I'm telling you, even if I only have one hand left, I can still keep fighting!!!"
Tao Tao: "......"
"Cut!"
Not expecting Tao Tao to make such a mistake, Director Zheng called a halt and said awkwardly, "That Tao Tao, did you forget your words? Take a ten-minute break, we'll do another scene later, don't be nervous."
"......" Tao Tao lowers her head and heads for the makeshift lounge with an ugly look on her face.
Still immersed in the scene, Qi Xingchen takes a deep breath, wipes her eyes, and heads back to the lounge to get Jiang Jiang to touch up her makeup in preparation for another scene.
He could see that Tao Tao didn't forget his words just now, he didn't catch his scene.
.
Tao Tao adjusted quite quickly, and after two more NGs, the fourth mirror finally passed.
She was in the middle of filming her own movie and had taken the morning off to make a cameo appearance for Director Zheng. After the shoot, she exchanged a few pleasantries with Director Zheng, said a brief hello to Qi Xingchen, and hurried back to the next theater group.
The first time he worked with Tao Tao, Tao Tao was the female lead and Qi Xingchen was the male third, and he was so young that he had to practice in front of the mirror until the early hours of the morning in order to get a scene right.
Now Tao Tao can't take his scenes anymore, which means the effort is never in vain. If it doesn't pay off, it means the effort wasn't in place.
The afternoon's scene is a literary one, set before Wu Jingtong's injury. Qi Xingchen puts on a clean military uniform and spends the afternoon talking to the female lead about the country and the people.
After a borrowed kissing scene, Director Zheng gave a satisfied thumbs up and raised his chin at Qi Xingchen, "Xiao Qi, it should be for you."
The rest of the crew had ambiguous eyes, "Tsk, tsk, tsk."
What the hell is it that's looking for him? Why are people reacting like this?
Qi Xingchen looked blankly in the direction that Director Zheng was pointing.
...... With that, Bai Ye was seen by the side of the set, wearing sunglasses and a fisherman's hat.
Qi Xingchen eyes immediately flashed out two big words: lying, groove.
Crap, Bai Ye won't see his kissing scene, right?
Crap, how did he come by such a coincidence?
A few days ago, Bai Ye had promised to visit him, and Qi Xingchen thought he would have to wait for a while, but he didn't expect him to come so soon. Not bothering to change into his costume, he ran over and whispered, "Did you just get here?"
"Nope, been here a while."
"Why didn't you call me?"
"Seeing that you're quite serious about the kissing scene," Bai Ye said faintly, "I don't want to affect your state."
Qi Xingchen is in tears because he told the director that he can't do kissing scenes, so all the kissing scenes and bed scenes are in borrowed places, but Bai Ye caught him in the act.
Looking at his aggrieved little expression, Bai Ye twisted his head and said, "A Lun, go buy some crayfish crabs or something like that to send to the crew, and some dishes to go with it, you make your own decision."
After the explanation, Bai Ye went up and exchanged pleasantries with Director Zheng for a few moments before returning to claim Qi Xingchen, raising an eyebrow at him, "Company Commander, take me to your place."
...... Finished, a strong sense of crisis, Qi Xingchen drooped his head, and took Bai Ye to his nanny car.
The hotel is not far from the movie city. On the way, Qi Xingchen looked at Bai Ye's face and spoke in a voice eight degrees lower than usual. When he entered the hotel, he rushed to the kitchen to get water for Bai Ye, and when he came out, he found that the other party had taken off his hat and sunglasses, and was sitting on the sofa, reading the script that he had casually paralyzed on the coffee table.
"That ......" Qi Xingchen couldn't help but explain for herself, "The kiss scene just now was a borrowed position, no real kiss."
Bai Ye "hmmm".
"I told the director that I have a boyfriend and it's not convenient to shoot kissing bed scenes. The director took care of me and agreed to it all."
Bai Ye said, "Uh-huh" again.
After the explanation, the other party still did not get angry, Qi Xingchen do not know what to do. After thinking about it, he could only resort to abnormal means.
He walks over and sits down next to Bai Ye and pulls on his arm, "Don't be mad, I was wrong."
Bai Ye shook his head, "No, you're right, it's me who's wrong."
Qi Xingchen is puzzled, "Where did you go wrong?"
"Knowing that making out scenes are inevitable, knowing that you would definitely choose a borrowed position for me," Bai Ye whispers, "but I still don't feel comfortable seeing it."
Originally Qi Xingchen was wronged, but after hearing Bai Ye's words, he was heartbroken, and his voice was soft and sticky: "What should I do then?"
"It's okay, I'll just calm down for a while."
"No," Qi Xingchen said, not willing to let Bai Ye digest it on his own, "I'll coax you, what do you want?"
The little fanboy took the bait and Bai Ye almost tensed up, pausing before patting himself on the leg, "Sit up here then, let me hold you."
Upon hearing the request, Qi Xingchen said that it was very well done. He faced Bai Ye and sat on his lap, kissing the tip of his nose, the corner of his lips, and his chin with an apologetic gesture, and Bai Ye kissed him back gently.
At first, it was just for coaxing, but as they kissed, their tongues got entangled together without realizing it. Bai Ye's kisses were a bit rough after not seeing him for so long, and Qi Xingchen couldn't stand it, his heartbeat was getting faster and faster, and his mind was getting more and more confused.
Vaguely, he felt a cold chill on his legs. Stirred awake a little by the coldness, his eyes glanced down ......
His army pants and shoes were actually missing!
Seeing this scene, Qi Xingchen suddenly realized that he might have walked into the hunter's trap. He raised his neck and wanted to denounce Bai Ye, but his ear was suddenly caught in someone's mouth.
Bai Ye asked in his ear, "Did you check the cameras."
"...... Well," the other party spoke when the hot air sprayed to the ear, Qi Xingchen body suddenly soft, "with far-infrared instrument detection, very safe."
"Anything yet?"
"Yes, in my locker," Qi Xingchen bites her lower lip, "the blue organizer bag in the lower left corner."
Bai Ye stood up with him in his arms, and Qi Xingchen, afraid of falling, hurriedly wrapped his legs around the other man's thin waist. The two of them walked to the cupboard in a linked position, Qi Xingchen was not feeling too well, and wriggled around impatiently.
Bai Ye patted him on the back, "Don't worry, wait for me to find something ...... Put it so deep ah ...... With strawberry flavor?"
Qi Xingchen : "......"
Why say it?
"If you don't answer, I'll take that as your default."
"......" Qi Xingchen bashful unable to make a sound.
Bai Ye was also rubbed uncomfortably and didn't have the heart to continue teasing the man. Hugging the man and sitting back on the sofa, he shoved the bottle into his hand, "Can you do your own preparation."
Qi Xingchen : "...... I, I'll try, I'll take my top off first."
"Don't take it off," Bai Ye stopped him, "I want to see you in it."
"...... Hmmm."
