After The Actor Made a Match For Me, He Died Out of Jealousy - Chapter 52

Chapter 52- Controlled Corners Of The Mouth

 

Since Qiao Mei rarely comes to Yunshi, Guo Qifan deliberately skipped work for a day and decided to go out to play with his good brother this afternoon.

 

In fact, he was forced to work overtime on weekends in order to make up for the loss. He deliberately asked his boss to change his shifts, but to show his friendship, he deliberately said that he skipped work for Qiao Mei.

 

Qiao Mei knew his virtue for a long time and was not moved at all.

 

They had made an appointment to go out for a day today, but they drank too much last night and slept relatively late, not getting up until almost noon.

 

After watching their Weibo, they quickly packed up and went out.

 

“BMW is stable and comfortable to sit on.” Guo Qifan sat in the driver’s seat, “It’s a pity that Mr. Zheng suddenly had an accident, or he would have come to drive.”

 

Qiao Mei patted him, “It’s a pity that Zheng couldn’t come to drive, right?”

 

Guo Qifan smiled and said, “Of course, Zheng drives more steadily, and it will be more comfortable to ride in his car. Besides, I don’t drive often.”

 

Jiang Liucheng: “Don’t force it. Drive to your own phase.”

 

Guo Qifan started the car. “My life is tough. I can’t take a day off, and I must drive for you.”

 

The car drove out of the underground garage of the community. They merged into the traffic flow, and the bustling city unfolded in front of them one by one.

 

Jiang Liucheng looked at the flow of people outside the car, but what he thought in his mind was Qin Lu’s sentence that he is not just anyone else.

 

At that time, he actually wanted to ask why, but he was afraid that it would be out of place as before.

 

He felt that he must have been influenced by this idiot Guo Qifan. If it weren’t for what he said before, he wouldn’t be thinking like he is now.

 

“You have watched the scenery outside for years. What are you thinking right now?” Qiao Mei found him in a daze through the rearview mirror.

 

Jiang Liucheng replied casually, “I think that Guo Qifan is a fool.”

 

Guo Qifan felt a massive injustice through his words, “What do you mean how stupid I am?”

 

Jiang Liucheng stopped talking.

 

Guo Qifan snorted, “I knew you couldn’t say it, and yet, you still scolded me.”

 

Jiang Liucheng: “I can’t say it, but I suddenly found that there are a lot of idiots in this world. And I don’t know which one is better.”

 

Guo Qifan: “…..”

 

Qiao Mei tried to endure but still ended up laughing out loud.

 

More than half an hour later, the car was parked on the street near Q University. The school has not yet started. There are almost no people in the school, but there are not many days left until the school starts. Some students have come to the school ahead of schedule, and some people are playing in the playground.

 

They didn’t have any big activities this time. They just wanted to come to the school and look back on their small days in college.

 

Seeing that someone was playing basketball, it happened that there were not many people on the other side, so the three of them took the initiative to ask.

 

The competition was more fun than playing by itself, and a few students agreed without hesitation.

 

The two sides played in the competition for more than two hours, and their sweat kept flowing. Nonetheless, everyone was very happy. During this period, Jiang Liucheng went to buy some water for everyone.

 

After the basketball game, they went to the Internet cafe again in the evening, where they played games for a few hours until Zheng Kailin asked them when to go back. It was eleven o’clock already in the middle of the night when they walked out of the Internet cafe.

 

“It’s cool. It’s been a long time since I had such a bright day.” Qiao Mei stretched after they came out.

 

“That’s right.” Guo Qifan also echoed, “Since graduation, I have often worked overtime until midnight.”

 

Jiang Liucheng: “It’s okay.”

 

Guo Qifan complained, “Of course you’re fine. You go on a blind date every day after graduation.”

 

Jiang Liucheng laughed, “You can be like me too.”

 

Guo Qifan: “If I want to be like you, then after half a year, I have to go to sleep on the street.”

 

Qiao Mei didn’t take too long to leave. He was ready to go back the next day as he booked an afternoon flight.

 

Since Guo Qifan went to work in the afternoon, Jiang Liucheng asked his assistant to pick him up and take Qiao Mei to the airport as it was on its way.

 

“If you have something to do, you can go first, and I’ll board the plane in a while.” Qiao Mei walked into the airport and turned to Jiang Liucheng, who got off the car and brought him in.

 

Jiang Liucheng hummed, “Remember to notify everyone when you get there. I’ll be going first, then.”

 

Qiao Mei nodded. Seeing that he was about to turn away, he suddenly called out to Jiang Liucheng again, “Liu Cheng, listen. Things like falling in love are more at will.”

 

Jiang Liucheng raised his eyebrows, wondering why he suddenly said this to him.

 

Qiao Mei pressed his chest with a smile, “Listen to your heart. Don’t be fooled by some appearances.”

 

Jiang Liucheng still didn’t understand much.

 

Upon seeing this, Qiao Mei did not explain any further. He just said, “You will understand later.”

 

After saying goodbye to Qiao Mei, Jiang Liucheng returned to his car. He then told his assistant asked where he was going, “Go to the company.”

 

He had an appointment with Qin Lu today, but it was still a bit early to go to the company because their appointment was still in the evening.

 

After arriving at the company, Jiang Liucheng went to the lounge that Zhou Wenbin showed him last time.

 

Li Qiu knew he was coming, so he came up to him after a while and told him about his work.

 

“That web drama should be over.”

 

Jiang Liucheng frowned for he actually liked that movie, “Didn’t Director Liu get any investment?”

Li Qiu said, “I heard that he was looking for people everywhere, but it didn’t work. According to insider information, some companies thought the script was interesting and had the idea of ​​investing, but they regretted it the next day, saying that someone deliberately obstructed it. If you guess correctly, it may be Mo’s Entertainment.”

 

Director Liu has never had any deep hatred for anyone in the entertainment industry. Even if there are some unpleasant words, he will not achieve this level of torture, so the strongest possibility is the lingering Mo’s Entertainment.

 

Because Director Liu didn’t decide to replace Jiang Liucheng, Mo’s Entertainment focused on Director Liu.

 

Jiang Liucheng realized that he had implicated Director Liu, “How much investment is needed in this web drama?”

 

“At least 50 million yuan. After the cloud company withdraws its capital, it will cost at least 40 million yuan. This is just a conservative estimate, and it may actually be more than that.” Li Qiu said, “Why are you asking about it?”

 

Jiang Liucheng: “I am thinking of a way.”

 

Li Qiu smiled, “How can you think of a solution for the shortfall of 40 million? But I have already told the company about this. If the company is willing to invest to it, it will not be difficult.”

 

Jiang Liucheng heard something in his words, “What did the company say?”

 

Li Qiu “I don’t think there is much hope. After all, 40 million is not a minority. For a big company like Sparks, every sum of money in the account must have its own plan. Whether a project can be successful or not, it is worthwhile to first evaluate whether it is worth investing in. They will make a decision later, but after they have finished evaluating, I’m afraid Director Liu might’ve been finished by then. Also, the resources of this kind of web drama are nothing to the company. It’s better to give you other better resources directly.”

 

After signing the contract with Sparks Entertainment, Jiang Liucheng has no shortage of resources, all he lacks is achievements.

 

“Let’s not talk about this. With so much money, it’s impossible for us to convince the company to make this decision.”

 

Although Li Qiu felt that Jiang Liucheng would become more popular sooner or later, they were still newcomers after all, and they could only follow the company’s arrangements.

 

Jiang Liucheng hummed.

 

Li Qiu: “Let’s talk about another business first. The company has arranged a new job for you. It is a big production. Although it is not the male lead, the role is not too small either, so you need to go to a cutscene at night. Prepare yourself.”

 

Jiang Liucheng: “I have an appointment with Qin Lu at night.”

 

Li Qiu froze for a moment, “This is what the company told me. Why didn’t you tell me earlier that you have an appointment with Emperor Qin? It’s already set, so don’t go, or you can tell Emperor Qin about this and reschedule your appointment.”

 

Just as they were talking, a car pulled into Sparks Entertainment’s office building.

 

Qin Lu took the elevator and came upstairs. As soon as the elevator door opened, Zhou Wenbin’s face appeared outside.

 

“Brother Qin.” Zhou Wenbin shouted and then handed over the file bag in his hand, “This is what you asked me to investigate before. It’s all inside.”

 

Qin Lu took the file bag and did not open it immediately, but asked, “Have you seen it?”

 

Zhou Wenbin shook his head, “No, I didn’t take it out to see it after I got it, and I also told the investigators to do the same.”

 

Qin Lu nodded, “I see. Where are the others now?”

 

Zhou Wenbin “I just heard from his agent that Jiang Liucheng seems to be in the lounge upstairs, but the company has arranged a new job for him, and he needs to meet the investor producer at night.”

 

Qin Lu paused, “Okay, I see. Go and do your own business.”

 

After Zhou Wenbin left, Qin Lu walked into the elevator again. He untied the rope of the document bag, took out a piece of paper from it, and read it line by line.

 

It wasn’t until the elevator dinged and stopped on the floor that he pressed that Qin Lu’s thoughts left the content on the paper.

 

After getting out of the elevator, he crumpled the document bag and threw it in the trash can next to him. On the other hand, he folded the paper and put it in his pocket.

 

Qin Lu came to Jiang Liucheng’s lounge. But before he could even knock on the door, Jiang Liucheng’s voice just came out.

 

“Where is the agreed meeting place? How long does it take to meet in an hour?”

 

“I’m afraid that one hour is not enough. It should take at least two hours to eat and drink.” Li Qiu seemed to be dumbfounded, “It’s not like you and Qin Lu can’t make another appointment. There’s no need to hurry.”

 

“He will go back to film tomorrow. Next time, he may have to wait for several months. After he finishes filming, I may still be filming my movie.”

 

Li Qiu was speechless for a second, “How do you feel about the same state as you were when you were on a blind date before? Work is not as important as your blind date, and those who don’t know would think you are on a blind date again.”

 

Jiang Liucheng: “This is different.”

 

Li Qiu: “Where is the difference?”

 

Jiang Liucheng somehow remembered what Qin Lu had said before. “He is not just someone else.” He replied

 

When Qin Lu outside the door heard these words, his heart seemed to beat a few more times faster at that moment and the corners of his mouth curved up.

 

“Yes, yes, I know you have a very good relationship now, but work is also very important. This is the first job the company has arranged for you. It’s not very good to set it aside. And I’ll be honest, your next job will only be getting busier and busier. Why don’t you not go on a blind date during this period of time? How about you wait for the job to stabilize before letting Qin Lu introduce you to someone new?”

 

“No.” Jiang Liucheng refused almost without thinking. “Blind dates are already difficult. If you stop for a while, it will only be more difficult in the future.”

 

“Do you want to get married that badly?”

 

“Yes.”

 

The curvature on the corners of Qin Lu’s mouth flattened again.
