Rebirth of an Idle Noblewoman (1-200)

Chapter 144: Cooperation Matters, And The Film Queen's Appearance

“Who was the person that walked in with you just now?” On set, Xiao Yun asked Gu Xiqiao in front of the vanity mirror.

Gu Xiqiao rubbed her chin as she thought about it. “I don’t really know.” For some reason, that person acted as if they were already acquaintances.

“You don’t know who he is and yet he smiled at you like that?”

“I’m pretty confused too.” Gu Xiqiao picked up the script laying by Xiao Yun’s hands. On it, each line was highlighted in different colors, an indication of how hard Xiao Yun was actually working.

“But I do know who the person by his side was.” Xiao Yun recalled the peculiar look in Gu Xiqiao’s eyes. “That person was Qin Heng, a secretary working for Tang Enterprise. Besides the president, he’s the one making the calls in their business.

Gu Xiqiao flipped through a few pages of the script before returning it to Xiao Yun. “Have you become dumb or something? Apart from the president, is there anyone else he would treat with so much respect?”

Xiao Yun’s senses suddenly returned to her. “Then h-h-h-he’s… the boss of Tang Enterprise? Our boss?”

Gu Xiqiao of course, was not going to answer such a retarded question.

Tang Qingqiu’s arrival instilled cautiousness throughout the entire film crew. Because of Qin Heng, many of them had a rough idea of who this man actually was. The Tangs were a secretive bunch and this was their first time seeing the man behind the scenes, and a young man at that!

“Why do you only have your assistant here? What about your agent?” Gu Xiqiao scanned around the room to find no signs of Xiang Kun anywhere. What a bother. She had already bribed him but his performance at the job was way too crappy for what she paid.

Gu Xiqiao’s fingers twitched. She started wondering if she should retrieve the obsidian beads right now?!

“Mr. Xiang’s went over to welcome the Film Queen’s arrival.” Xiao Yun’s eyes lit up with anticipation. “Song Guanjing, you know her? She’s the female lead of this film. I’ve only seen her on the TV screen. Wonder what she looks like in real life.”

Song Guanjing debuted at the same time as Li Yu. She, too, once worked under Xiang Kun. As it has been a while since they last met, Xiang Kun was given the task to welcome her back to the country this time.

A new thought popped into Xiao Yun’s mind. “Say, you think that guy from Tang Enterprise is here to meet Song Guanjing?” The more she thought about it, the higher the likelihood that she was right.

Many of the people working here thought the same thing too. The president could have come here at any point in time but why specifically today? He must be here to see the film queen himself; there must be something going on in the dark between them.

Xixi flew off from Gu Xiqiao’s shoulders, as the film crew continued chasing it enthusiastically.

If he wanted to meet Song Guanjing, wasn’t meeting her at the airport much easier? Why did he choose to do it on the set? This, Gu Xiqiao felt, was a clear indication that he wasn’t here for that reason.

“Xiao Yun, your scene’s coming up. Chop chop!” One of the crew members pulled open the dressing room’s door to hurry her.

Gu Xiqiao went with Xiao Yun to the set. She observed the filming process before leaving to find Cheng Zhou. This was her main objective for being here today. She wanted to sell the services of post-production by a bunch of great gods from Nine Heavens to the director.
