Chapter 476: Chapter 476 Reward_1

Upon returning to the urban area, Xia Qingtian did not rest, but immediately started a new round of busy schedule.

A few days ago, Director Zhao had contacted her and scheduled dates for Cheng Bingbing to do makeup trials and script readings with the crew.

Because Cheng Bingbing was not in a good state previously, Xia Qingtian had kept this a secret and kept delaying so as not to give Bingbing too much pressure.

Director Zhao had given them enough time already; they could not delay any longer. Otherwise, he might start doubting whether they really wanted to act in his film.

Xia Qingtian tentatively informed Cheng Bingbing about the upcoming work schedule.

Cheng Bingbing chuckled at Xia Qingtian’s cautiousness and said, "Sister Qingtian, you don’t have to worry so much. I’ve said I’ll strive to become a better person, someone who is worthy of Huo Qilin. I will definitely try."

"Although I still can’t get over the shadow of the night of the Hua Chicken Awards, I will try to digest it gradually. I won’t run away like I did before."

Hearing this, Xia Qingtian felt extremely relieved, "Okay, let’s strive together."

She then called Director Zhao, confirming with him that they would come for the makeup trial the next day.

The next day.

Xia Qingtian picked up Cheng Bingbing early in the morning and they went to the film set together.

Director Zhao’s films always emphasized quality. As such, a lot of money was spent on the set design. The set was almost ready, and they believed that they could start filming soon.

Luckily, Cheng Bingbing had made a timely recovery.

If she hadn’t shown up on set after it was ready, even if Director Zhao was still quite satisfied with her, he probably wouldn’t recruit her again.

Upon arriving at the film set, Cheng Bingbing was immediately taken by the costume and makeup team for trials and costume fitting.

In this film, Cheng Bingbing would have nearly seventy different looks.

It took three to four days to finalize her makeup and looks. Director Zhao was very satisfied after seeing them and even said that Bingbing’s image was very suitable for the female protagonist in the script.

After finalizing the makeup, it was time for script reading.

As almost all of the main actors would be present during the script reading, the film set did not have enough space to accommodate everyone.

Director Zhao generously booked the largest hotel near the film city.

During the script reading, Xia Qingtian had nothing much to do. She stayed on the side and felt so bored that she almost grew mushrooms from boredom.

"Sister Qingtian, since I have nothing to do now, you don’t have to stay around me. There are still a lot of things waiting for you at the company," said Cheng Bingbing during a break, as she handed Xia Qingtian a bottle of water.

"No, I have to stay with you..." Xia Qingtian accepted the water but disagreed with Cheng Bingbing.

Understanding that Xia Qingtian was concerned about her, Bingbing couldn’t help but feel warm, "Sister Qingtian, I’m not a child anymore. I will have to be independent one day. You can look after me temporarily, but you can’t look after me forever."

"Assuming no special circumstances, I should spend most of my time on set reading the script recently. As the people I’m in contact with are all regulars, you should let me get used to it myself. You can come and accompany me when Director Zhao’s drama starts filming, and the people I’m in contact with become chaotic."

Hearing these words, Xia Qingtian was somewhat persuaded.

"Are you sure you can do it?" she asked again for confirmation.

Cheng Bingbing nodded and said, "Yes, I can."

Xia Qingtian agreed to give her space when she saw Bingbing’s determination. There were indeed many things waiting for her at the company. Huo Qilin’s new album was being produced and was expected to be on the market soon.

Therefore, she needed to arrange promotions for it in advance.

Furthermore, since Cheng Bingbing and Huo Qilin had won awards, their entertainment company’s reputation had been well-established. Many newcomers had sent their resumes to the company. It was time for the company to inject some fresh blood and sign some new people.

All these tasks were significant and required her attention.

Originally, she had planned to wait for Cheng Bingbing to finish her daily script reading before returning to the company to handle these matters.

But since Bingbing didn’t need her here and wanted to gradually become independent, Xia Qingtian decided to return to the company to deal with other matters. Before leaving, she reminded Cheng Bingbing, "My phone is open 24/7. If anything happens here, you have to communicate with me promptly."

"Yes, I understand," Bingbing nodded.

After some more reminders, Xia Qingtian finally left the film set.

At first, she was quite worried about Bingbing and would send her a message every two hours to inquire about her situation.

Sensing that there were no issues on Bingbing’s end and that Bingbing was making rapid progress with good potential for acting under the guidance of many experienced actors and Director Zhao, Xia Qingtian gradually started to feel at ease.

Thus, she settled into a routine where she would call Bingbing every night after a busy day to ask about her progress in script reading.

One day,

Xia Qingtian was accompanying Huo Qilin on a magazine cover shoot. After taking the cover photos, they were scheduled for an interview to promote his new album.

Huo Qilin showed a great sense of fashion. All his photos were impressive and found hardly any that were wasted.

The photographer couldn’t help but sigh that if Huo Qilin decided not to sing in the future, he could be very successful in the fashion industry.

After the cover photoshoot, they took a break before starting the interview.

During the interview, Huo Qilin was articulate and sharp.

After the interview, the host praised him for his excellent performance and even became more courteous towards Xia Qingtian, his agent.

They could see Huo Qilin’s unlimited potential from his words, predicting his indispensable status in the entertainment industry one day. Hence, they needed to maintain a good relationship with them now.

Leaving the magazine’s office and on the way back to the company, Xia Qingtian couldn’t help but praise him, "You did a great job today. I’m sure this magazine will cooperate with our company frequently in the future."

Exuding an air of playfulness, Huo Qilin looked at her and asked, "Since I performed so well today, have you, as my agent, considered rewarding me with something?"

Xia Qingtian raised an eyebrow, a bit surprised but asked without hesitation, "What kind of reward would you like?"

Huo Qilin reminded her that it would indeed be suitable to reward employees who performed well to motivate them.

Seeing her agree so easily, a gleam of joy flashed in Huo Qilin’s eyes.

Actually, he was just joking with Xia Qingtian just now.

But since Xia Qingtian had agreed, he would not miss out on this benefit and immediately said, "You can accompany me to dinner. I know of a restaurant where the food is especially delicious."
