    25: Toothache opportunity

    Qiao Qiao didn’t feel much after lunch, but her teeth suddenly started to hurt in the afternoon.

    Qiao Qiao opened his mouth in front of the mirror and tried his best to let the mirror light illuminate his mouth. The left back molar looked normal, but Qiao Qiao knew that there must be a pair of villains living inside, grinding the roots of Qiao Qiao’s teeth with a large hacksaw, or the oversized rotating hacksaw in “Saw”.

    “Is wisdom teeth about to grow?” Qiao Qiao rubbed his left cheek. There was no sign of swelling yet. “It seems that the God of Wisdom Teeth has not forgotten me.”

    Cheng Xiu had already gone out, but he didn’t tell Qiao Qiao what he was going to do. Qiao Qiao was now the only one in the huge room. She looked through several cabinets but couldn’t find painkillers, so she had to cover her face and put on her coat, and decided to go to the pharmacy outside.

    Probably because of the weekdays, ordinary elevators were overcrowded. As soon as Qiao Qiao stepped into the elevator, the elevator sounded a ‘didi’ alarm. Qiao Qiao had to wave to the people in the elevator to indicate that she had to wait for the next one.

    Of course she won’t wait for the next one, she still has a VIP elevator to take.

    Ever since Song Qiyan saw Qiao Qiao move in that day, he silently gave Qiao Qiao permission to the tenth floor, including elevator use, service desk calling and many other functions, which were very enjoyable to use.

    The VIP elevator was very fast and stopped with a ding. Qiao Qiao walked in and stood next to a middle-aged man who was cursing on the phone.

    “What do you want me to say? Huh?” The man had a work card hanging on his chest. He was so angry that he was gesticulating in the air with his only free left hand. “How many times have I told you, this character is a female undercover with an extremely strong heart! Undercover! She can collapse in front of her without changing her color.!What is Jiang Li doing?Have you seen her audition?Her whole acting skill is to spread her thighs when she shouldn’t!Let’s be honest, if someone didn’t push her, I wouldn’t even let her do the audition!

    The man hung up the phone angrily, turned around and saw Qiao Qiao. He looked Qiao Qiao up and down, and then continued to let himself go without caring.

    The elevator started running.

    “Little girl, do you know where WAWA’s director registration office is?” the man suddenly asked Qiao Qiao.

    “First floor.” Qiao Qiao squeezed out these two words through her teeth. She tried her best to make her face look normal and not twitch due to toothache.

    “Where is the first floor?” the man continued to ask.

    “East.”

    “I’ve been there, but I didn’t see it.”

    Qiao Qiao stretched out three fingers and made a gesture.

    “The third door?”

    “Yeah.” Qiao Qiao nodded weakly.

    “Thank you.” The man paused and asked again, “Can’t you finish what you said at once?”

    Because I have a toothache!

    Qiao Qiao rolled her eyes in anger, but was too lazy to explain. She nodded and replied with one word: “Yes.” She looked quite arrogant.

    “Very good, very good.” The man stared at Qiao Qiao as if he had discovered a new world. After a while, he took out a business card from his pocket, “My surname is Zhuang, and I am an external director of WAWA. I think you are quite suitable for a role in my play. This is my contact information. If you are interested, you can give me a call.”

    When the elevator reached the first floor, Director Zhuang went out. Qiao Qiao stood there and looked at the business card in his hand, feeling a little messy for a moment.

    Is this okay?

    @@@

    Qiao Qiao felt much better after taking the painkillers according to the instructions.

    After entering the door, she casually placed the business card given by director Zhuang on the table without taking it seriously at all. Besides, she was still on vacation, and Qiao Qiao didn’t want to disrupt her plan.

    “I think I’ve heard of this director.” A pleasant male voice suddenly sounded behind Qiao Qiao. Qiao Qiao trembled with fright, and when he turned around, he saw that it was Jian Baiyou.

    He wore a night blue thin V-neck pullover, and his snow-white chest was exposed a little, extending along the end of the V and submerged in the shadow of the fabric. The blue was so intense and the white was so translucent, the contrast was so strong that you couldn’t take your eyes away.

    “Scared you?” Jian Baiyou laughed, “I have the authority to repair the room.”

    “No!” Qiao Qiao quickly lowered his head, “Mr. Jian, do you want something to drink? I’ll get some tea. ”

    “Thank you, no need to bother.” Jian Baiyou glanced at the pills in Qiao Qiao’s hand, “Painkillers? Are you feeling unwell?”

    “I have a bit of toothache today…”

    “Oh? I know a very good dentist here. Do you want me to make an appointment for you?”

    “It’s fine now. This painkiller is still very effective.” Qiao Qiao put the painkiller away. “And the doctor said it’s not a serious illness, it’s just a slight inflammation of the root of the tooth. He also prescribed some anti-inflammatory drugs and it will be fine after taking it.”

    “That’s good.” Jian Baiyou stared at Qiao Qiao’s smooth hair and suddenly asked, “Why do you always lower your head?”

    … …

    “This is a long story…” Qiao Qiao secretly wiped his sweat, “Besides, Mr. Jian, you are also tall. I always look up at you and you will be very tired.”

    “I see.” Jian Baiyou nodded, and he picked up the business card on the table, “You can go to this director’s play. This is a good opportunity for you.”

    Only then did Qiao Qiao notice that he was wearing a diamond-studded square sapphire ring on his slender middle finger. It was not big, but very beautiful. It looked like a sparkling blue star between Jian Baiyou’s white fingers.

    “But…” Qiao Qiao hesitated, “I still want to continue taking vacation…”

    “It’s just a trial, it won’t take long.” Jian Baiyou handed the business card to Qiao Qiao, “Judging from this progress, it will take a long time to start filming.”

    So Qiao Qiao took the business card and dialed the number. The other party seemed very happy to hear that it was her. Qiao Qiao formally introduced herself on the phone. Director Zhuang told her the background story of the character, and then agreed on an audition time.

    “Then I’m leaving too.” Jian Baiyou stood up after seeing Qiao Qiao finish the phone call, “Remember to take a good rest after taking the medicine.”

    “Thank you. Can I ask where Mr. Cheng is?” Qiao Qiao said nervously.

    “He can’t come back for the time being. I have something very important for him to do.” Jian Baiyou answered lightly.

    “Is it dangerous?”

    “Maybe a little.” Jian Baiyou looked tenderly at the small section of Qiao Qiao’s neck that was exposed because he lowered his head. His slender fingers with rings touched Qiao Qiao’s chin. The cold metal rubbed against the skin. The cold touch made Qiao Qiao shiver. He said softly, “You don’t need to worry.”

    Jian Baiyou left.

    Qiao Qiao stood blankly in the living room for a while, then picked up his cell phone and started calling Song Qiyan.

    Song Qiyan answered quickly, but he didn’t speak immediately. Qiao Qiao waited patiently. After a series of sounds of chairs moving, Song Qiyan’s slightly lower voice came from the receiver: “Qiao Qiao? What happened?”

    “I don’t know what to say…” Qiao Qiao grabbed his hair, “Do you know where Cheng Xiu went? I think he may be in danger now. You are in charge of the resident artists. Can you find out?”

    There was silence on the other side of the phone for a while, and then Song Qiyan’s steady voice came: “Have you asked Jian Baiyou?”

    “Yeah. But he didn’t tell me.”

    “Don’t ask him again, stay away from him as much as possible.” Song Qiyan said in a deep voice, “Nothing will happen to Cheng Xiu, but don’t ask rashly again – you should live with me.”

    “Then where did he go? When will he come back?” Qiao Qiao said anxiously.

    “Did Jian Baiyou wear a ring today? Which one did you wear?” Song Qiyan answered the question differently.

    “Uh…a blue one, with lots of diamonds, blue in the middle and white around it. It looks super expensive…” Qiao Qiao tried to remember.

    “…” Song Qiyan was silent for a while, “It’s okay. Cheng Xiu will probably be back tomorrow afternoon.”

    “What does this have to do with the ring?” Qiao Qiao felt incredible.

    “I’ll tell you the rest later. I’m going back to the meeting right now.” Song Qiyan paused, then lowered his voice and added, “You are staying alone tonight, right? I get off work at five o’clock. Come to my place. I’m in room 1002.”

    Just when Qiao Qiao was about to refuse, Song Qiyan had already hung up the phone.

    “I’m not going…” Qiao Qiao put down the phone and muttered in a low voice, “I’m not stupid.”
