"Boss , Your phone rang."

Qu Yanting sat in the passenger seat. The sunlight made the color of his Italian linen shirt turn into cream. The sleeves were folded in half and a piece of brown watch was worn on the exposed wrist.

With a slight tile of his head, Qu Yanting's face was reflected on the outside rearview mirror. He had a light complexion. His slightly long hair was combed back with hairspray, showing the clean forehead and the exposed neat eyebrows. A pair of square sunglasses were placed on the bridge of his nose. Half of his face was hidden behind the lenses, obscuring his expression.

The phone kept on ringing. Yu Nan, the driving assistant, reminded again: "Boss, won't you pick it up?"

Qu Yanting finally reacted. He raised his hand and held the ringing phone between his fingers. The caller ID showed the name "Ren Shu". Qu Yanting's thumb stopped on the screen. After three or four seconds, he swiped the receive button.

Yu Nan sighed silently, saying in his heart: This is really struggling.

As soon as it was connected, Ren Shu's voice came through the phone. He sounded like an old man in a good mood: "Hello? Yan Ting, it's me. Have you set off yet?"

Qu Yanting's back left the seat. His other hand was released from the empty grip and rested on his thigh. He rubbed the wrinkles on his trousers back and forth. Glancing at the road sign outside the window, he replied: "We are almost at the airport."

Ren Shu said happily, "Yes, I will send a car to pick you up at the airport. Do you want to go directly to the hotel or come to the crew first?"

Qu Yanting asked, "Where are you?"

Ren Shu replied: "I am at the shooting location today. If you come to the set today I'll finish work ahead of time and wait for you."

Qu Yanting said: "Don't delay your work, I'll go to the hotel."

"Alright, you go back to the hotel to rest. Let's meet at night in two hours." Ren Shu calculated the time, "Let's eat hot pot at night, I'll book the seat in advance."

After a few words, Qu Yanting's straight back slowly relaxed, and he leaned back on the seat. His tone was also relaxed: "Okay, I'll wait for you to finish work and see you in the evening."

The car drove into the road in front of the airport terminal, pulled over and the engine was turned off.

After hanging up the call, Qu Yanting unfastened his seat belt and said: "Later notify the hotel that you book to fill the refrigerator with black coffee, canned coffee is fine."

Yu Nan had been following Qu Yanting for seven years. He had been an assistant since the establishment of Qu Yanting's "Zhi Shang Yan Yun*" studio. He knew all of Qu Yanting's habits and said: "I have already notified them. Boss, you should take a break and don't stay up too late."

[T/n: 上烟云 : It is actually a name of a book.

The translation doesn't sound good so I decided to use the pinyin.]

Qu Yanting turned a deaf ear to what Yu Nan said. He was wondering whether it was the off-season or the peak season of tourism recently. There were not many tourists, he didn't like running into many people in the hotel.

"The room number is 6206. There are not many rooms on the top floor of the hotel, so don't worry." Yu Nan took the initiative to answer, "I don't know how long you will stay here so I booked it for a week."

Qu Yanting was also not sure. The duration of the project depends on the progress. He threw his house key on the center console and said, "Help me feed the cat and water the flowers. The house may be a bit messy."
