Chapter 148: You Try It
Jiang Zhi left after discussing the new commercial with Jiang Xue.
As soon as her former teacher left, Jiang Xue suddenly collapsed to the ground with a pale face. She held the chair beside her with one hand and her head was full of sweat. She cried weakly, “It hurts… my stomach hurts…”
“Sister Xue! Sister Xue, What’s wrong?”
“Come and help! Sister Xue’s stomach hurts! Quick! Give me a hand and send her to the hospital!”
The staff beside her quickly came over to check on the situation. They saw Jiang Xue biting her lip and looking extremely uncomfortable. She could not even stand up, let alone continue acting.
She was quickly sent to the hospital.
Now that the female lead was gone, the filming schedule could only be forced to stop.
Director Zheng looked at Jiang Xue, who was unable to continue working on the hospital bed. His expression was a little awkward, but there was nothing he could do. Although he was a workaholic, he was someone who cared about the health of the actors.
Jiang Xue was on an IV drip. She looked at Jiang Zhi and then at Director Zheng. She lowered her head and blamed herself. “Director Zheng, Sister Jiang, I’m sorry. I’m the one who slowed down the progress.”
Although Director Zheng was dissatisfied, he nodded. “Your health is more important. Don’t make any more mistakes in the future.”
“Why do you suddenly have a stomachache? What did you eat?” Jiang Zhi knew how much Jiang Xue wanted to perform this time. It was impossible for her to eat recklessly. Moreover, she was fine even with such high intensity in the morning. How could something like this happen in the afternoon?
Jiang Xue shook her head helplessly. “No, I’ve been controlling my body recently. I only ate one bar of chocolate today…”
Jiang Zhi immediately thought of the box of chocolate that Lu Xuan had sent over. However, before she could confirm it, she did not make it public. Instead, he simply comforted Jiang Xue. “Okay, I got it. You should get some rest.”
After comforting Jiang Xue, Jiang Zhi immediately rushed back to the set. As soon as she entered the door, she heard a lot of complaints.
“A lead actress who actually doesn’t take care of her body. Does she know how expensive it is to rent a venue?”
“Yeah, we could have sped up the progress, but she insisted on slowing it down… I even suspect that she did it on purpose!”
A few staff members gathered together. They were very dissatisfied with Jiang Xue’s sudden incident, which caused them to waste the entire afternoon.
Jiang Zhi frowned and was about to speak when Lu Xuan walked over.
“Sister Jiang, why are you here? Is Jiang Xue Better?” Lu Xuan’s face was full of uneasiness and even some fear.
Seeing Lu Xuan’s attitude, Jiang Zhi wanted to test her. She lowered her eyes and said, “This is my fault. As her manager, I didn’t notice her health. Sister Xuan, are you free this afternoon?”
“Huh?” Lu Xuan was stunned.
“We didn’t have an appointment last time. I’m free this afternoon. Let’s go for afternoon tea?” Jiang Zhi rubbed the space between her eyebrows and pretended to be tired and relaxed.
Seeing Jiang Zhi’s relaxed look, Lu Xuan agreed immediately.
Since Jiang Zhi was going to shoot herself in the mouth, she had nothing to be polite about.
When Lu Xuan came for the appointment in the afternoon, her originally smiling face suddenly froze. She had not finished the chocolate that she had given her. The only thing on the table was two cups of tea and that chocolate.
She glanced at Jiang Zhi unnaturally. “Sister Jiang, I’m here.”
Jiang Zhi saw her expression and smiled faintly. “Quickly sit down.”
Lu Xuan had no choice but to sit down. Her gaze had been lingering on the chocolate on the table.
“Eating chocolate can make people feel happy.” Jiang Zhi took a piece of chocolate and handed it to Lu Xuan. “Everyone has been very tired recently. Come and try it.”
