CHAPTER 319: CHAPTER 319: YOU HAVE SUCH UNIQUE TASTES? (CHAPTERS 318 AND 319 COMBINED)

After Lizhi’s shout, almost everyone was in place, so there was no chance for Tan Biyang to ask any more questions.

She walked to the edge of the swimming pool, staring unblinkingly at Xiao Qing as if to see right through her, not even hearing the director’s first call to start filming.

Xiao Qing, speechless, said, "Miss Tan, I heard you’re an Actress. I hope you can maintain basic professional ethics."

Tan Biyang’s face immediately darkened, but with so many people around, it wasn’t appropriate for her to flare up, so she could only bear it in silence.

Thinking of the scene they were about to shoot, where she would push this woman into the swimming pool, Tan Biyang’s heart suddenly hardened.

No matter if this woman was Zhuang Shuqing or not, she was about to have a legitimate opportunity to push her, so why not take delight in it?

Therefore, during the second take, Tan Biyang was almost in the zone, with all her expressions spot on, regarding Ran Rang and Xiao Qing as thorns in her side.

Xiao Qing was surprised, not expecting Tan Biyang to be quite capable and to get into character so quickly.

As soon as the director called action, Tan Biyang viciously pushed, and Xiao Qing fell into the water, caught off guard.

"Cut! Very good!"

The nearby crew couldn’t help but express their admiration. A scene between two Actress actresses is easily passed.

Xiao Qing emerged from the pool water and slowly climbed out, her appearance like a goddess emerging from the water drawing the gaze of many on set, especially from the gentlemen.

Xiao Qing’s towel was no longer on her, and she was wearing a rather conservative swimsuit, but even that conservative swimsuit couldn’t hide her bursting pride.

Some male crew members’ eyes went straight.

Look at that slender waist, those deeply indented abs lines.

Xiao Qing had lived overseas for a few years and didn’t feel it was revealing, yet Lizhi got a huge shock and without saying a word, wrapped her in a bathrobe that had been prepared in advance.

Just as Tan Biyang was feeling smug, she noticed that virtually all the men’s eyes were glued to Xiao Qing. Confused, she followed their stares and upon seeing Xiao Qing’s figure, wished her glare could kill.

In front of Xiao Qing’s figure, Tan Biyang, who always prided herself on her own figure, seemed like nothing in comparison.

Jealousy in women is a fearsome thing; thus, envy burned in Tan Biyang’s heart with no outlet for release.

After a short break, the next scene was up.

The female protagonist played by Xiao Qing was no pushover, so she quickly got out of the water and, at Tan Biyang’s moment of pride, slapped her across the face.

The director originally thought they wouldn’t really hit, just pretend a little would do.

But Xiao Qing didn’t see it that way.

The moment Tan Biyang pushed her into the water, Xiao Qing had seen a strong hatred in her eyes. Clearly, Tan Biyang had mixed personal feelings into the action.

Xiao Qing was not someone to be messed with so easily, so when she emerged from the water and step by step approached the smug Tan Biyang, she raised her hand and fiercely slapped her across the face.

The sound was so crisp that it startled everyone present, and the director in shock forgot to call cut.

Who was this?

Even if she was an Actress from a few years ago, she’s still an Actress, right?

In the domestic industry, no one would dare lay a finger on her.

They were afraid. Not to mention Tan Biyang’s awkward status, setting aside her identity, this woman was known for paying back for any slight, and provoking her would lead to no good end.

But what they didn’t know was that Xiao Qing wasn’t someone to mess with either, or else how could she have won an international Actress title in just three years?

Tan Biyang’s face quickly swelled up red, and she looked at Zhuang Shuqing incredulously, "Did you hit me?"

Xiao Qing hooked the corner of her mouth, "Exactly, I hit you." There was a double meaning in her words, and it was unclear if Tan Biyang really understood.

Finally, the director snapped back to reality and immediately called cut.

The atmosphere on set was extremely awkward. The director reviewed the playback, both concerned and impressed. The rest of the scene was practically a natural performance; if it weren’t for the status of these two, he would have clapped in approval.

Acting with an Actress is indeed different!

Xiao Qing only had one scene today, and the director didn’t call for a retake, so that meant it was a wrap.

So she wrapped herself in a bathrobe and walked towards the makeup room, with Chestnut following by her side.

Tan Biyang, holding her face, was dumbstruck.

Just hit someone and leave like that?

She wanted to call Xiao Qing back, but even if she did, what could she do? It was a shooting after all, and the scene was about hitting someone; she couldn’t argue it wasn’t right.

Tan Biyang had no choice but to take the loss.

She consoled herself, no worries, there were plenty of confrontational scenes between the two of them in this movie, plenty of opportunities for revenge.

Back in the makeup room, Chestnut smiled at her with eyes curved, "Shuqing, you’re my idol!"

Xiao Qing glanced at her, "Weren’t I before?"

Chestnut choked on her words, "That’s not what I mean. I mean..."

Chestnut paused, stunned as she saw Xiao Qing suddenly laugh. For a moment, she was taken aback, "Shuqing, you’re so beautiful~"

Despite having removed her makeup completely, her skin looked no different than before, even carrying a sense of freshness.

"So beautiful!"

Xiao Qing’s lips twitched slightly, teasingly saying, "Drooling."

"Ah?"

Xiao Qing laughed out, "My boss is really nice to me, it’s rare to find an assistant I’m this satisfied with."

Chestnut’s face turned slightly red, and she thought again about the slap Xiao Qing delivered on set, "The slap you gave was so cool, my god, it was the first time I’ve seen her take a loss like that."

"You have such unique tastes?"

"No, Shuqing, that’s not the point. You don’t know, all these years she has caused so much trouble in the industry relying on being President Si’s ex-wife, and President Si always turned a blind eye, which made her even more reckless."

Xiao Qing seemed to ponder, she needed to talk to Xiao Anze to understand the situation at New City Entertainment.

After changing her clothes, Xiao Qing called Xiao Anze, who said he was on the way to pick her up with the kid. She immediately responded, "Wait for me at the back door."

Chestnut knew she was about to leave and was afraid that Tan Biyang would scheme against her from behind, so she insisted on escorting her to the back door.

Just as they reached the back door, a stretch Lincoln slowly stopped in front of them, and the rear window rolled down revealing a delicate little face that sweetly called out, "Mommy."

Behind her was a man who bore some resemblance to Xiao Qing. Chestnut’s eyes widened in surprise when she saw him. Isn’t that the CEO of Emperor Entertainment?

However, what really alarmed her was the little princess pointing to the man and telling Xiao Qing, "Mommy, hurry up and get in the car, uncle said he’s taking us to buy a car."

Unc... Uncle?
