The Unexpected Rise Before My Exit from the Entertainment Industry

Chapter 155

The intern's phone vibrated, and he picked it up to see a message from the director:

Director: It's fine if I can't come back for a while. I received news that the highway is under repair and currently impassable.

Director: But don't forget your job! You and the cameraman have the burden of getting clicks on your shoulders. Film them carefully - get them to interact! They can even argue!

Director: Otherwise, don't bother coming back. Go find an internship somewhere else!

The intern stared at his phone screen and heaved a deep sigh.

"The director's demands are so unreasonable..."

The intern nodded:

"I know right...

Ms. Qin?!"

He suddenly turned around to find Qin Wei standing right behind him!

Startled, the intern's phone slipped out of his hand.

Qin Wei picked it up first.

The intern tried to calm himself and changed the subject:

"Ms. Qin, weren't you sleeping in the room..."

The two of them stood in the corridor. Qin Wei glanced back at the bedroom and said:

"Oh, there was only one bed for people to sleep on. Jo is still sick, so I let her sleep there...

But let's talk about you! What's the director saying..."

"Ms. Qin, don't worry, I don't dare make trouble! But the director doesn't mean anything bad. He just wants clicks..."

Qin Wei smiled:

"Don't be nervous. I'm not blaming you. Not only that, I can cooperate as well and get Jo to cooperate too."

After hearing this, the intern didn't feel relieved at all. Instead, his heart sank:

"But...there are conditions, right?"

Qin Wei nodded:

"It’s not tiring to talk to smart people."

......

When Sun Tiantian got up today, she was full of energy. To thank Qin Wei and Qiao Sixiao for accommodating her last night, she specially went to the breakfast shop at the village entrance to buy several bowls of rice noodles to bring back. By the time she returned, Qiao Sixiao had woken up and could come out to eat.

"Pfft—"

The intern stood on the corridor eating rice noodles. He had just eaten a few mouthfuls when he saw Qiao Sixiao come out. The pattern on her clothes was too...not matching with her. The intern almost spewed out his noodles.

But this piece of clothing is quite famous, isn't it? Thanks to Qin Wei alone, it became a hot seller and even sold out for some time. He didn't expect that Qiao Sixiao would have it too.

Qiao Sixiao seemed to understand something. She frowned and turned back with a ghastly pale face to change her clothes.

Qin Wei sighed. She had lent Qiao Sixiao the T-shirt because she felt it was quite thick. She didn't expect that Qiao Sixiao would find the duck ugly!

The rain had almost stopped. After breakfast, they discussed filming plans. As agreed, as long as the cameraman and intern agreed to what Qin Wei said, the two of them would also let the director see what he wanted.

After a busy day, dusk soon arrived.

The rain had stopped, but the road was still not open. The landlady took the initiative to suggest that they could continue staying because she felt very sorry that there had been a leak in the house yesterday which affected their sleep. Today, after the rain stopped, she went to fix the roof. She also dried all the beddings and guaranteed they would have a good sleep tonight.

Since someone was willing to accommodate them, they were not fussy and expressed their gratitude to stay for another night.

Qiao Sixiao said apologetically:

“I’m so sorry to have to trouble you for another day.”

The landlady said:

"It's no trouble. You're a pretty girl. You can stay here as long as you like - you'd be the village belle."

This was the first time Qiao Sixiao had received such praise in her life. She didn't know if it was necessarily good, she just felt strange...

Then she heard Qin Wei add:

"Yes, yes. Qiao Sixiao is our village belle."

The landlady said earnestly to Qin Wei:

"If you stay, you'd be the village belle too."

......

At 8pm, the director received a video sent by the intern. It was not only long but also well edited.

Intern: Director, please take a look at today's footage

Intern: I guarantee you'll be satisfied. If not, I'll resign immediately and give you my head before I go!

Intern: So sweet, so sweet, love them to death!

Intern: [Sticker]

The director opened the video.

...

"Ms. Qin, can you return my phone to me?"

The intern stood on the side watching Qin Wei frantically message the director with his phone. His feeling of unease grew stronger and stronger.

"What's the rush? I'm helping you keep your job."

Qin Wei got up and threw the phone back to the intern.

"Your job is secure now. Look forward to turning permanent when you get back! No need to bring me souvenirs to show your appreciation. I don't want the Genshin Impact 1st Anniversary Commemorative Figure at all."

Although the intern hadn't looked at his phone yet, hearing Qin Wei's words, he knew his job was safe and felt very grateful.

So Ms. Qin wanted the figure! It's not that expensive, it's just that he has to stay up all night to pre-order limited quantities.

So he said, "Ms. Qin, thank you! I’ll definitely get you the figure these days!"

...

The video the director received: Sun Tiantian borrowed the intern's tablet and opened the edited video—

In the morning, Qin Wei came out from the bedroom bare-faced with her hair down. Just as she was about to head out, Qiao Sixiao, who followed her out, grabbed her and used the hair tie around her wrist to tie Qin Wei’s hair up for her.

After tying up her hair, Qin Wei turned to look at her and the two smiled at each other. Then they held hands as they headed out sharing an umbrella.

Although they met with some situations and couldn’t return to the team temporarily, it didn’t affect their moods. Being alone seemed to make them more carefree. They toured the entire village together, chatting and laughing.

In the afternoon, the rain stopped but the sky remained cloudy. The landlady lit up a warm lamplight on the corridor. The two of them sat under the lamplight reading scripts and drinking tea. Qiao Sixiao even reached out to tidy the loose strands of hair around Qin Wei’s temples.

Once again, they exchanged smiles.

The entire 5-minute video was just like this throughout.

After watching, the director’s mouth was smiling from ear to ear!

"Upload the video in two parts tonight. No need to edit this part, just upload it directly."

Comments:

This is Chinese Valentine’s Day for cp fans today. I’ll just treat myself to watching this.

Is this acting? Even if acting I’ll take it. My god, to be able to see my ship coming out from the same bedroom in my lifetime, tears of joy are streaming down my cheeks.

Are they really together? Can I take this to mean they just announced their relationship?

No, go check Weibo yourself. There's a reason this was posted.

I wonder if they are okay. Seems like they got stranded in a village due to mudslides and based on real time, they still haven’t returned?

The program team made a post saying they’re fine but didn’t have their phones with them. So they asked the program team to assure everyone that the two of them are very safe, but unfortunately can’t continue participating in the show, which is why they chose the fans’ top requested theme to film this compensate video for fans.

Note the word “compensate”. It means it’s just fanservice.

Well then, let them just stay there and not come back anymore. Just keep posting a video daily to compensate us fans.

Oh then my sister must be the village belle!

My Jo is too!
