Chapter 71: Stalking
As Liu Shiying had something on, they couldn’t film many scenes, so the entire production team ended work early.
Jin Wenxi also found an excuse not to go to the gathering with the production team and brought Song Wei into his car.
Seeing this scene, the minor actors—who had criticized them a lot previously—gossiped even more fiercely.
“The two of them knocked off work, but they aren’t even going to the dinner gathering. What are they rushing off to do? It can’t be a date, right?”
“No way. Jin Wenxi is good-looking and doesn’t look blind either. Why would he like such an ugly freak?”
After Jin Wenxi got into the car, he got out again and walked to those small actors. He smiled and said, “Little girls, you are so pretty, but you speak of very nasty things. That’s not good!”
The few minor actors were stunned. They did not control their volume because they were certain that Jin Wenxi and Song Wei would not do anything to them even if they heard them.
Didn’t the production team listen to such gossip every day?
Many people had said that Song Wei was ugly. It didn’t matter who they were.
In the end, Jin Wenxi came to warn them in such an earnest manner. Immediately, their faces turned red, and they wanted to find a hole in the ground to hide in.
Jin Wenxi nodded in satisfaction, “In the future, you have to be kinder to others. Don’t attack others because of their looks. Xiaocao is my lucky star. If she runs away because of these verbal attacks by you guys, you’ll have to take responsibility.”
Then, under the stupefied gazes of a group of girls, he slowly returned to the car.
Song Wei looked at him in surprise. “Why do you care about them? By talking to them like that, it’s like we indeed have something between us…”
“Of course, I have to care. You’ve helped me so much, and you didn’t get paid by me. If you get chased away by them, I’ll suffer a huge loss.”
“…” Song Wei glanced at him from the corner of her eye. “Even if they don’t say a word, I’m still leaving in two days.”
Jin Wenxi revealed a very disappointed expression. “Have you never thought of changing your career to become a manager or something?”
“No, thank you.”
“What a pity. You’re clearly so talented. If you really want to make someone famous, I think you’ll definitely succeed.”
“I’m very talented in everything I do. As for you, you will become famous sooner or later, even without my support. Just you wait.” Song Wei quickly drew a line between them.
As Song Xiaocao, it was best if she didn’t forge any deep connections with other people.
Song Wei and Jin Wenxi followed them to the hotel’s parking lot and watched Liu Shiying go upstairs.
They still wanted to follow her, but they realized that the hotel’s security was very strict. One had to have a room card to reach the designated floor. With Liu Shiying’s status, she naturally went to the most expensive top floor.
Jin Wenxi and Song Wei stood at the front desk and looked at the hotel’s room price list. Their expressions froze for a moment.
The front desk attendant smiled warmly and asked them, “May I know what kind of room you need? Only the presidential suite is full with guests today, so there is plenty of spare room in the rest of the guest rooms.”
Jin Wenxi looked at Song Wei. “How much do you have?”
Song Wei froze. “There’s only a bonus of 10,000 yuan and a salary of 3,000 yuan in my card. That’s all.” She looked at Jin Wenxi expectantly.
Jin Wenxi chuckled and touched his pocket. “You’re richer than me. I only have 1,100 yuan in my card.”
“How can you be so poor as an actor?!”
The attendant still smiled amiably in that professional manner. “Are you two still going to make a booking?”
Song Wei sighed and gave Jin Wenxi a look. “Don’t think about it. Let’s go. Let’s change places and wait.”
“But if we don’t guard the entrance and the many exits here, how will you know where she’ll leave from…?”
Just as Song Wei was thinking about how to arrange things so that she could spy on Liu Shiying’s secret, an attendant walked to them and smiled.
“Miss Song, Mr Jin, Miss Liu has invited both of you up to talk.”
“Liu Shiying?” Song Wei was a little surprised. “She knows that we followed… her here? And she even asked us to go up for a talk?”
With Liu Shiying’s personality, she should have sent bodyguards to beat them up!
However, the attendant only bowed very politely once more. “Miss Liu didn’t go into detail. She only asked me to bring you up.”
Jin Wenxi cast a meaningful glance at Song Wei. “Maybe she’s in an especially good mood because she enjoyed acting alongside me today, so she became willing to sign the contract with you?”
Song Wei glanced sideways at Jin Wenxi. “Stop dreaming.”
