The Unexpected Rise Before My Exit from the Entertainment Industry

Chapter 285

Qiao Sixiao rejected her reasonable request and told her to go back to the studio to continue the later shooting.

As for Qin Hongdou, Qiao Sixiao said she would officially take over, and Qin Hongdou was not allowed to be called that anymore.

With no way to overpower Qiao Sixiao, Qin Wei obediently went to act.

Today's scene was in a pavilion by the artificial lake. The plot was that the royal children were drinking and appreciating the scenery at Sunset Pavilion, and Luoyang appeared on a small boat to meet everyone.

When Qin Wei arrived, Shen Qingqing had also come. She was in an extremely good mood today. Knowing that Qin Wei had an important role today, she came specially to visit the set (direct).

"All the teachers have worked hard. It's so hot today but still shooting outdoors. Weiwei and I will treat everyone to cold drinks. Teachers, please take good care of Weiwei!"

While Shen Qingqing and her assistant gave everyone cold drinks, Qin Wei had already walked over.

"Teacher Shen went to a lot of trouble! We should also be more responsible. Come on, pull the small boat Luoyang will ride in later over to check it again..."

As the staff spoke, they started busying themselves.

Qin Wei walked over and grinned at Shen Qingqing:

"Shen Meemee, why did you come?"

"Shen Meemee? Oh, I came to see you..."

Shen Qingqing whispered in her ear, asking her softly,

"Did you buy a house?"

Qin Wei was shocked. This news wasn't supposed to get out unless...

"Is Yunjin also yours???"

Shen Qingqing shook her head:

"No, no, not at all. And Yunjin cares a lot about customer privacy, but that's after check-in... Buying a house isn't top secret. Yunjin has many celebrities living there. Actually, fans and the media know even better than the general public. It's just very hard for ordinary people to get into the community...

You'll understand when you move in. You'll feel how nice it is to have your personal life not peeped at...

But that's beside the point. Mainly my dad knows their board of directors. They let my dad gossip a bit when peers bought houses there too. Don't worry, I didn't tell anyone else, not even Youyou."

Qin Wei thought, she didn't even ask her anything, yet she explained so much:

"She can know too, I bought a house, so why did you come?"

Shen Qingqing picked at her fingers and asked her softly,

"I just wanted to ask if this house has nothing to do with your boss..."

Oh, it must be because of that voice message the other day.

Looks like she listened carefully and guessed the context based on how smart she is.

Qin Wei looked at her:

"You want gossip, huh..."

Shen Qingqing shook her head. She squeezed Qin Wei's shoulder and looked at her very seriously:

"Don't get married easily, especially to these chaebol second generations. They have too many choices!

Don't believe words like 'lifelong commitment' so easily! Even if you find a loyal one in ten thousand, when he inherits the business, he'll have very little time for you! You'll always come after his career and children!

And you can only be a rich housewife with nothing but money! The rest of your life will just be passing time. I don't want you to become like this for some money!"

So...Shen Qingqing was worried about her?

"Silly Meemee, getting married is like me losing my job. I don't know about others, but I can't bear to leave this job now. Meemee's values are so upright now~ I'll reward you by buying you a month of snacks."

Shen Qingqing nodded with downcast eyes.

"Damn! It's a good thing we checked this boat again, which factory did we order this from! How dare they cut corners on something that goes in the water!!"

Just as Shen Qingqing was about to say something, the props team leader started yelling behind them,

"Who from the props team was in charge of procurement! Damn it, get out here!!"

The voice was very loud and angry, attracting the director and on-site producer.

The main person in charge went over. After a brief discussion, they learned that two nails that secured the bottom of the prop boat were missing. The only reason the board didn't fall off was that it was temporarily glued on.

"This kind of glue is used as a thickener in industry. It's sticky enough but dissolves in water. Won't it be useless after soaking in the water for hours? If the actor stands on it then... Damn! They cut corners and pushed it onto our props team!!

The other day the lock catch on the prop sedan chair almost broke too, and no one cared! If I hadn't checked it again at the last minute, someone on our team would've died already!!

Who the hell is messing with me! Trying to jinx me!!"

The props team leader had a temper, but he was very diligent in his work. Especially with this crew that treated him well and had generous leads, he worked even harder and always double checked everything himself before shooting started.

Yet problems had turned up twice now.

This leader firmly believed one time was a coincidence, but two times definitely meant someone was sabotaging him. That was why he erupted in profanity.

Shen Qingqing and Qin Wei heard it all too.

Shen Qingqing looked at Qin Wei:

"I think someone is trying to jinx you."

Qin Wei nodded:

"I noticed during my morning jog."

Then she added,

"Before you."

...

The props team did another full check of all the props just in case and confirmed there were no issues before shooting. Qin Wei went to get ready while Shen Qingqing sat chatting with the props team. She asked everything she could think of, then left.

After Qin Wei finished shooting, she looked around for Shen Qingqing and texted her, but got no reply. Figuring Shen Qingqing must have left, she was about to contact her assistant to ask when Shen Qingqing came over with the scenic area security guards and local police.

Among all the busy staff and extras, Shen Qingqing pointed at two extras:

"It's those two!"

The two looked at each other, then turned and ran. But the police and guards reacted quickly, chasing them down and pinning them to the ground.

Only then did Qin Wei realize Shen Qingqing had gone to check the surveillance footage, starting from when the sedan chair prop was damaged according to the props team until they discovered the shoddy boat prop.

It wasn't any company cutting corners, it was these two who had sabotaged the props sneakily!

Qin Wei applauded while praising Shen Qingqing:

"Visitor traffic is especially high at this film set, and there are so many people in the crew, yet you caught the suspects. I won't watch the year-end theatrical release of Detective without you.

Or you could invest in a crime drama, I already thought of a name, Law Examiner Qin Wei, but you have to agree first that I play an attractive and smart examiner who doesn't have to go on scene. You play the detective, the kind that's simple-minded but has very dexterous..."

Shen Qingqing gave a cold humph:

"Examiner Qin, shut up. No one wants to see you in a crime drama. And your drama name that just barely avoids copyright infringement won't attract investors."

She was still humoring Qin Wei when the scenic area management arrived, sweating as soon as he saw it was Shen Qingqing. Still bracing himself, he came over smiling apologetically at Shen Qingqing:

"Miss Shen, why did you come today...I didn't receive notice you were coming to shoot..."

Shen Qingqing smiled weirdly. She sat down in the chair an attendant brought and started mockingly:

"I've come three times, and every time something went wrong. I'm not a big star like Qin Wei Suyang who has good luck protecting her. I'm just a small actor. Shooting here at your place, who knows, I might just die here, right?"

The manager shuddered:

"Miss Shen, it's got nothing to do with the scenic area. The extras were contracted by the actors' association, brought in by the crew. Our scenic area is so big with just four of them total, managing them is..."

"Ah~"

Shen Qingqing had no patience to keep listening and cut him off, questioning him,

"Did I come to listen to you lecture me? Just start a seminar then! Manage it if you can, if not then scram. There are so many professional managers, my family won't go bankrupt without you!

Also today, if that small boat fell apart on the lake, it would indeed be the props team's fault, but the person fell in the water at your scenic area. What's your contingency plan? Show it to me right now! I want to see!!"
