Chapter 335: Chapter 335: Desperate Counterattack_1

Xia Qingtian turned around and was surprised to find that the speaker was Shi Qian.

Through their conversation, she learned that Shi Qian had been sent to this troupe by Bo’s mother. Although she had more scenes than Cheng Bingbing, she was legitimately the second female lead.

Her character was particularly charming, as it was the handpicked choice of the lead actress.

Xia Qingtian finally understood why Tonghua was giving Cheng Bingbing a hard time, it was on behalf of Xu Qing.

In the last charity banquet, Xu Qing was taken away by Huo Shao, and she never asked how Huo Shao had handled Xu Qing afterwards.

"Qingtian sister ..." Cheng Bingbing’s face was somewhat pale, "What should we do now? I have a feeling that Tonghua will not let me go, she will surely ruin my face."

As she spoke, tears welled up in her eyes.

"Don’t worry, I am your boss and your agent, I will not let them continue to bully you!" Xia Qingtian comforted her, wiping her tears away.

Whether Xia Qingtian could really do something or not, Cheng Bingbing’s beautiful face immediately broke into a goofy smile, "Qingtian sister, I believe in you!"

Shi Qian looked anxiously at Xia Qingtian, "Qingtian sister, do you need my help? We can seek Mrs. Bo for help. Even though she has been out of the entertainment industry for a long time, she still has a wide network. If she is willing to help you, Tonghua will definitely not dare to bully you."

"No need!" Xia Qingtian pursed her lips, "I’ll find a solution."

Since taking over the company, she did not want to ask her for help and be looked down upon.

Seeing this, Shi Qian didn’t say anything else.

She still had scenes to film, so she left first.

Meanwhile, Xia Qingtian did not idle around either. She let Cheng Bingbing rest for a while and explored the set.

After resting for a while, the director started rushing them to reshoot the last scene.

With Xia Qingtian’s assurance, Cheng Bingbing disregarded her painful, swollen face, and cheerfully went on to continue shooting the scene, having an incredibly large heart.

Having toured the set and already having a plan, Xia Qingtian, seeing Cheng Bingbing’s carefree behavior, couldn’t help but smile.

This feeling of being wholly entrusted with someone’s faith was not too bad.

Soon, all the actors were in place.

The director gave them three minutes to get prepared.

Tonghua, with her fiery red lips and powerful aura, had an icy glint in her eyes as she looked at Cheng Bingbing.

As soon as Xia Qingtian saw her expression, she knew that Tonghua was not going to let Cheng Bingbing off that easily.

A cold light flashed in her eyes too.

She then proceeded to point her phone directly at Tonghua.

There was no hint of concealment in her actions and noticing this, Tonghua’s eyebrows immediately furrowed.

"What are you filming?"

Xia Qingtian didn’t put away her phone, but kept it pointed at Tonghua, responding humbly, "I am of course filming Tonghua’s acting."

"You have just received the White Orchid Award, your acting skills must be incredible. I hope that my non-performing artist could learn from you, so they won’t keep messing up."

"The shots that were botched earlier, I’ve asked the assistant director for a copy. When I have the time, I’ll definitely take a good look to see where my artist’s acting is lacking. We don’t need her to be as excellent as Tonghua, but just a tenth will be enough."

Upon hearing this, Tonghua’s face turned shades of green and white.

Although she had won the White Orchid Award, her acting in her recent hit TV show had been derided by netizens downplaying her abilities.

She only kept messing up the scene earlier to spite Xu Qing’s good friend, by making things difficult for Xia Qingtian’s artist.

If these shots were leaked, it would do her more harm than good.

If the netizens thought she was doing it on purpose, it would mean she was intentionally bullying a newcomer, hence ruining her reputation.

If the netizens couldn’t see that, her messing up over and over again would only confirm that she was a mediocre actress.

"Are you doing this on purpose?" Tonghua grinded her teeth, her tone icy cold.

Xia Qingtian gave a slight smile, and she put on an innocent face, similar to Cheng Bingbing’s dumbfounded expression.

"Tonghua sister, I have no idea what you are saying, I just want to record your acting process so that my artist can learn to mimic it and eliminate the possibility of messing up the scenes."

Her words were clearly a threat.

Tonghua was extremely irritated yet helpless.

Even if she went to the director, it would be useless. The show was being filmed and broadcast simultaneously, the director would be more interested in additional topics and media coverage, as it would serve as free publicity for the show.

So Tonghua could do nothing but grit her teeth and swallow her resentment, "Your artist needn’t learn anymore, her aptitude is good, we’ll definitely get it right this time."

"Really? That’s great!" Xia Qingtian put away her phone, "As Bingbing is still a newcomer, I hope Tonghua sister can guide her into the role, hopefully we won’t mess up anymore."

Tonghua didn’t say anything more, and the scene passed on the first try.

Cheng Bingbing was extremely happy, choosing to no longer dwell on her swollen face.

During lunch, Shi Qian very openly came over to Xia Qingtian and said, "Qingtian sister, I’ll come and eat lunch with you every day."

"Everyone in the troupe knows that I was parachuted in, I have connections, nobody dares to mess with me openly. Now if we make it clear that we are close, they would think twice before causing any hassle, that’s what we call ’borrowing a tiger’s might’, hehe ..."

Xia Qingtian knew she meant well, so she didn’t refuse.

Maybe Shi Qian’s approach was indeed effective, because in the afternoon, the crew members were suddenly polite towards her and Cheng Bingbing.

After wrapping up for the day, Xia Qingtian planned to go back with Cheng Bingbing.

But before they could leave the set, she received a call from Bo Jingyan stating that he was already in the film city’s parking lot, coming to pick her up after work.

Xia Qingtian was somewhat surprised, wasn’t it already clarified with Bo Jingyan that she didn’t want people knowing she was Mrs. Bo, and asked him not to come to the set?

However, Bo Jingyan made a special trip to pick her up, which touched her deeply, and she felt pleased inside.

She then arranged for Cheng Bingbing to take the nanny car back, while she went to the parking lot to meet Bo Jingyan.

However, once she reached the parking lot, she could not see Bo Jingyan’s car.

Xia Qingtian found this strange, and was about to call him when suddenly...

The door of a black official car nearby was suddenly opened, and she was pulled into the car, falling into a strong embrace.

"Ah...um..." She was startled and was about to cry for help when her lips were being sealed.

After a moment’s shock, Xia Qingtian quickly figured out who was holding her and kissing her, it was none other than -

Bo Jingyan!
