Chapter 43 I just warmed up.
Chapter 43 I just warmed up.
When the two returned to the film set, it was already 5 p.m. Liu Xiaoli returned to the car guiltily, afraid that her daughter would ask her how many hours it took to use the Wahaha drink she bought for her.
She really didn't know what was so good about Wahaha; she thought it was just so-so.
"Wenbo, I won't cook dinner tonight. I'm exhausted and there's no time to cook."
"Sister Li, you should lie down and rest. Just eat the crew's boxed lunch. I really want to try it out."
Chen Wenbo went to Director Yang to report back from his leave, but he really didn't know what to say. He was a little embarrassed and said he was going out to buy something. He ended up being gone for more than three hours.
"You're back. Why were you gone for so long? Even President Cai came to ask me where you were."
Yang Chunmei was taken aback when she saw Chen Wenbo return. She had assumed that he had been called out by Boss Cai to have fun, but it turned out that the boss had not succeeded.
"I'm sorry, Director Yang, I'll go explain to General Manager Cai."
Why would Lao Cai contact him if he's not busy with filming? He hasn't called or texted, so it can't be anything urgent.
"Chen Wenbo, where did you go this afternoon?"
Liu Yifei was idly memorizing her lines when she glanced around and spotted the rascal talking to the assistant director.
"I had nothing to do this afternoon, so I did some warm-up exercises outside, thinking I'd do my best tonight."
Chen Wenbo was just about to go find Lao Cai when he was caught by this girl again.
Liu Yifei tilted her head and looked at the guy's serious expression, which didn't seem like he was lying. "Then you really are hardworking. No wonder you do things so well. I want to slack off and rest whenever I have free time."
"Just between you and me, I don't want to move either. I'd rather lie down than sit."
"Haha, me too. Can you cook another one of your signature dishes later? I want to eat more."
"Dream on," Chen Wenbo shook his head. "Let's forget it. It's not good to eat greasy food at night. We'll just have to make do with the crew's boxed lunches."
Liu Yifei grabbed the bad guy's arm and shook it, "Don't you have to film action scenes tonight? It'll be exhausting, so let's cook some delicious dishes."
Chen Wenbo remained unmoved. He believed that children shouldn't be spoiled indefinitely. "It's so late now, we don't have time. We haven't even bought the groceries yet. We can talk about it another time."
"My mom went to buy groceries, she should be back by now, let me ask."
Liu Yifei was craving something sweet and missed the stir-fried abalone she had for lunch. Other people's cooking always tastes better.
Chen Wenbo found it strange that the little girl was making such a confident phone call. When did the Great Demon go grocery shopping?
"Oh, there are no vegetables at the market. Mom, why are you only coming back now? Sister Zhang bought all the Wahaha for me."
Liu Yifei pouted unhappily. This girl didn't want to cook, and her mother hadn't bought any vegetables, so she definitely wouldn't be able to eat anything good that night.
"understood."
No one knows what the demon said, but the little girl hung up the phone sullenly. Sure enough, a mother can easily discipline her daughter.
"Yifei, it's time to go on stage. Have you memorized your lines?"
Liu Yifei's face fell again. "I...I'll recite it a few more times~"
"You're busy, I'll go now."
"I won't bother the little girl memorizing her lines here," Chen Wenbo thought. He wandered around the film set but didn't see Lao Cai. When he got to the parking lot, he found the woman resting in her car with her eyes closed.
"Sister K, I heard from Director Yang that you were looking for me?"
Cai Yinong opened her eyes and glanced at Chen Wenbo, her breathing becoming labored. The initiative was definitely gone. "What a coincidence that they came back. The two of them went out one after the other and came back one after the other."
Chen Wenbo got into the car and closed the door. "What is Sister K saying? I don't understand."
Cai Yinong reached out and pulled her darling into the car. "I was wondering why Liu Xiaoli's complexion looked so rosy these past few days. Turns out someone has been taking such good care of her."
Chen Wenbo's heart tightened immediately; Lao Cai had caught him red-handed. "Sister K, you're wronging me. Do I look like I've just taken care of someone?"
"Hmph, should I praise you for being so capable, or say that woman is as useless as a piece of trash?"
"I don't know about that. I suppose we'll only have the answer after K-sister experiences it herself."
"When did you hook up with her? You've only been on set for two days, and you've already made your move so quickly. That old woman is really impatient."
"Sister K, please zip up your fly. I seem to remember you contacted me on my first night on set."
Chen Wenbo had no idea how Lao Cai could have the nerve to call someone a "great demon." Both of them were experienced, and they couldn't tell the difference between them.
Cai Yinong played with it for a while, then sneered, "I suppose that box of wolf fangs has come in handy. No wonder I couldn't sense anything."
This woman really has a knack for making connections. Chen Wenbo said nonchalantly, "Sister K is overthinking it. I'm confident in my abilities and don't need any assistance."
Cai Yinong asked through gritted teeth, "It's not useless, is it? Isn't that woman afraid?"
Chen Wenbo pointed to Lao Cai's hand, "The evidence is right here. Sister K, I think you should think about what to do in a few days instead of making wild guesses here."
Cai Yinong had no concrete evidence, so even if she got the baby, there was nothing she could do. "I won't argue with you for the next couple of days. Wait a few days until I'm ready, and then you'll know who to choose."
"Always be prepared."
This is giving himself too much credit. Chen Wenbo didn't want to say anything, so he simply lay down and went to sleep, waiting for his moment to show off that night.
Seeing that her precious baby was pretending to be asleep, Cai Yinong glanced out of the car and was a little tempted. This was a golden opportunity that would not come again.
Damn it, this guy talks a good game, but his actions speak louder than words.
……
Jingle Bell!
The vibration of his phone in his pocket startled Chen Wenbo awake. Still half asleep, he picked up the phone and saw that it was a call from the Moon Goddess.
"What's wrong, Teacher Yan?"
"Wenbo, when do you finish work today?"
"It's getting late, and I have to film an action scene tonight."
Chen Wenbo reached out and pressed Lao Cai down, telling him not to move now.
"I want to go horseback riding. Call me when you get back tonight, I'll be waiting for you at the hotel."
"Okay, Teacher Yan, I understand."
Chen Wenbo hung up the phone and slowly released his grip, deciding not to disturb Lao Cai's enjoyment.
Cai Yinong looked at Da Baobei suspiciously, "Who is Teacher Yan?"
"I met her on the set of 'Lotus Lantern' yesterday, and she wants to introduce me to some resources."
"Your voice sounds like a woman's; you're quite popular."
"We've only talked twice, how can you compare to Sister K? Let's continue."
Cai Yinong suddenly lost interest. After tidying up her precious treasure, she asked, "What about what I told you the other day? What do you think about it? As long as you're willing to sign, I'll arrange a lead role for you in my next drama."
These words genuinely made Chen Wenbo a little tempted. To get a leading role, you either need a powerful background or be currently very popular, but he is nothing at the moment.
But I don't really remember Tangren's next drama. If it's Chinese Paladin 3, then it's not impossible to consider giving it to Cai Xukun.
"Let's talk about it later. I don't know what kind of show you're talking about, K-sister. What if it's a private sex scene between two people? I'd be at a huge disadvantage."
"You heartless bastard, the next film we're preparing, 'Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio,' has already been submitted for approval and is expected to start filming before the end of the year."
A Tang Dynasty version of Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio?
I vaguely remember it being an episodic drama with countless male leads. Old Cai is so cunning.
Trying to trick him into signing a contract with this? No way! Chen Wenbo is considering whether to seduce Lao Cai and get the role for free.
"It's too early now, let's talk about it then."
