The Unexpected Rise Before My Exit from the Entertainment Industry
Chapter 268: Play Together
Chapter 268
Upon questioning by Qin Wei, it was revealed that Shen Qingqing had indeed come to visit the set. Prior to her arrival, she had specifically inquired about Qin Wei's schedule and learned that she had finished shooting for the day and had no scenes for the next two days.
As for her unexpected stint as an assistant director, it was purely accidental. She originally intended to wait until Qin Wei had finished shooting before entering, but the wait seemed endless, so she took the opportunity during the break.
"Can we have hot pot, Weiwei?"
When Shen Qingqing saw her approaching, she asked.
"Clear broth type. If it's possible, I'll let Youyou order."
"Oh, Youyou is here too!"
Qin Wei was a little surprised. It had been a while since she had seen her junior, although they occasionally had video chats, she missed her a bit.
Shen Qingqing nodded. "Tiantian also came over. It's been a long time since they last met. They can't stop talking when they see each other. They completely forgot about coming to see you. Unlike me, I thought about seeing you as soon as I arrived."
After saying that, she lightly linked her arm with Qin Wei's.
Qin Wei pushed her away with a hint of disdain.
"Isn't the tea too obvious?"
"Yeah! It's been so long since I've had tea that I've become rusty."
Shen Qingqing shrugged and then pulled Qin Wei again.
"Let's go, I'm hungry. Aren't you hungry?"
"Wait, who's that over there?"
Qin Wei looked in another direction.
Shen Qingqing looked puzzled and followed her gaze.
"Who?"
"That person over there."
"Who?"
...
Li Yan had also finished work and was preparing to return to the dormitory to rest. He was halfway there when he saw two guest actors from the crew walking towards him. They were the two who had pestered him to treat them to a meal last time.
Li Yan took out his phone and pretended to answer a call, preparing to greet them and pass by.
"Hey, oh, alright, I'll be right there... Ah, Brother Wang, Brother Feng, hello..."
After speaking, Li Yan started walking to the left, but the two people blocked his way.
Their faces were gloomy, and they looked at Li Yan unhappily.
"Brother Feng, the director called me back... I won't..."
"Okay, Xiaoli, we invited you to have barbecue yesterday, but you didn't come. You've only been an assistant director for a few days, and you don't recognize people anymore?"
The man called "Brother Feng" patted Li Yan's head and let out a cold laugh.
"Aren't you afraid we'll make you treat us? Every time we split the bill."
Li Yan smiled bitterly, feeling somewhat dissatisfied with his words, but his voice wasn't loud.
"Brother Feng, you've been asking me to have meals with you these past few days, and each time you told me to pay first and said you'd transfer the money to me later. It adds up to over two thousand... and you... you haven't given it to me yet.
I won't say anything about that, but I really was working late on the set yesterday. We finished filming and wrapped up in the early hours of the morning, so that's why I didn't go..."
"I said I'll give it to you. I'll give it to you sooner or later. Can I owe you that little money?
Inviting you out is treating you as a friend. You're just a temporary worker on the set. Once the show is finished, we'll all go our separate ways. Don't think too highly of yourself!"
Brother Feng became somewhat annoyed and kicked Li Yan to the ground.
Immediately after, someone kicked him from behind, causing him to lose balance and fall flat on the ground.
"Who the hell kicked me!?"
Brother Feng was completely dumbfounded at that moment. It took him over ten seconds to recover and get up, but he was still in a daze.
"Emmm... Qin Wei, it's you again..."
Qin Wei smiled at him, her eyes narrowed.
"Yes, it's me."
Brother Feng was really angry at this point, but he couldn't lash out at her. Instead, he had to force a smile and patiently explain:
"Well... Oh, Qin Wei, you've misunderstood... We're all brothers here, just playing around..."
"I know."
Qin Wei wasn't annoyed either. She walked over with a smile and pulled Li Yan up, then said to him,
"I'm just playing around with you too~"
Her response caught him off guard, and Brother Feng was at a loss for words. His face turned red and then pale.
"Qin Wei..."
Li Yan whispered to her, feeling regretful.
If he had known she would get involved, he would have just backed down earlier when facing Brother Feng. He could have invited them to dinner later in the evening without getting Qin Wei involved.
These few were notorious troublemakers in the film and television city. They had done well in other film and television cities before coming here and forming their own gang as soon as this new film and television city was established.
Brother Feng was tall and strong, with a fierce appearance typical of a villain in TV dramas. Everyone called him "Brother Feng," so he was well-liked by various crews. As a guest actor, he had more roles and higher income compared to other extras, but his character wasn't great. He always picked on the weak.
Brother Feng stood up, dusted off his clothes, and the more he thought about it, the more annoyed he became. Suppressing his anger, he looked at Qin Wei and forced an ugly smile. Through gritted teeth, he said to her:
"Qin Wei, you've gone too far. I was just playing with Li Yan. I kicked him, and then it was his turn to kick me. But for no reason, you came over and kicked me. What's your intention? Are you taking advantage of being a big star to bully us common folks?"
Qin Wei crossed her arms and nodded at him.
"Oh, so that's the rule, huh? Alright then, Li Yan, did you hear that? It's your turn. Go ahead and kick him!"
Li Yan didn't dare to move. He didn't know what Qin Wei was up to, but he really didn't want Qin Wei to have a falling out with them over such a trivial matter. So he quietly persuaded her:
"Qin Wei, let it go. Let's call it even now... Let's go..."
"Fine... Let's go have hotpot..."
"Oh, you want to leave after hitting someone? It's not that easy, is it?"
Before Qin Wei could finish her sentence, Brother Feng blocked their way and glared at Qin Wei with displeasure.
"You can't bully people like this, right? Last time, I gave you some face when you were bossing me around. Oh, now you think you're the boss... I'll teach you a lesson..."
Before he could finish his sentence, Qin Wei kicked him again.
Brother Feng sighed.
"Brother Feng, you're like an embroidered pillow..."
Brother Feng was truly furious now. He had never been hit before, much less by a woman. At this point, he was ready to fight back no matter who the opponent was!
Li Yan felt that he couldn't back down anymore. He directly pounced on Brother Feng and tried to hold him down. Of course, his small frame couldn't overpower the other person, but he still had some strength, and they began struggling with each other.
Soon after, the security guards of the film and television city arrived and forcibly separated them, taking control of the situation.
Brother Feng shouted, "Qin Wei was the one who made the first move. I was just fooling around with Xiao Li, and accidentally pushed him down. Qin Wei didn't care about right or wrong and started hitting me, even humiliating me with her words. Up until now, I haven't touched her at all! She's just relying on being a celebrity! Bullying someone like me, an ordinary person! Let go of me! I'm going to call the police! I'm going to sue her!"
Having spent a long time in the film and television city, Brother Feng was experienced. When he first arrived, he quickly figured out the blind spots of the surveillance cameras. Whenever they wanted to bully someone, they would choose such blind spots and always succeed.
This place was no exception. It was a bit secluded, and there weren't many tourists around, just the four of them...
Where was Wang?
Brother Feng looked around, realizing that as soon as Qin Wei appeared, he found an opportunity to slip away.
That damn guy, he's not loyal!
For now, they couldn't do anything about it. Brother Feng continued to struggle against the two security guards, shouting, "The two of them are together. Xiao Li will definitely provide false testimony for her... She... she's using her power to bully ordinary people. I got injured. I'm going to call the police, get a medical examination, and sue her! The police will ensure justice for me!"
"Go ahead and sue. I can testify that Qin Wei was the one who kicked him, she even kicked him twice!" Shen Qingqing walked over from the side, holding a phone that was recording.
