    85: Hunting

    Qiao Qiao didn’t call a nanny car when she came, and it was a bit troublesome to go back to WAWA now. She hesitated but decided to call Fang Tong first to confess everything.

    “Qiao Qiao?” Fang Tong was in a commotion for some reason, “Didn’t you go to Donghe to film a movie today?”

    “That.” Qiao Qiao didn’t know what to say, “…my role has been replaced.”

    “The role has been replaced?!” Fang Tong’s voice suddenly rose. He then coughed twice, and the background sound gradually became quieter. He seemed to be avoiding the crowd. He lowered his voice and asked, “Do you know who did it?”

    “…I probably know.”

    “Don’t say it, don’t say it. I don’t want to know who did it. Just know it yourself.” Fang Tong sighed. Qiao Qiao heard a rustling sound from the other side. It seemed that Fang Tong was scratching his head and thinking of countermeasures.

    “What should we do? Should I go back first?”

    “Oh, this is a very troublesome matter. If you don’t handle it well, it will have a huge impact on your development. Just wait for me to think about it carefully. I have to check Donghe’s side. The main reason is that you are not famous. You may just give me a reason and send me away.”

    Qiao Qiao lowered his head and said nothing, feeling a little guilty because he was not well-known and had caused Fang Tong to suffer.

    “In this case, you go outside first, go shopping, etc., and then come see me after get off work.”

    “Why?” Qiao Qiao was puzzled, “What happened to the company?”

    “Don’t mention it!” Fang Tong sighed, “Director Song doesn’t know what happened this morning. It’s like he took a bullet. The sales summary sent by the marketing department has been redone three times! The contract I sent him yesterday to confirm it has just been sent to him and no one has acknowledged it! Now there is a river of blood within a hundred meters of Director Song’s office, and the director of the marketing department is crying at the door holding the new quarter’s survey.”

    “He’s been scolded too much. Don’t they say he got in because of his connections?”

    “Oh, I’m talking about the director of the new marketing department. It turns out that director Song was fired an hour ago.”

    “…” Qiao Qiao swallowed hard, “I met Director Song this morning. I saw that he was in a good mood.”

    “Okay, it’s not like you don’t know someone like Director Song. He smiled softer than anyone else when he asked me to rewrite the contract. In short, don’t come back and hit the gun now. Listen to me and go out for a walk. I guess he will return to normal after get off work. Men, there are always a few days every month.”

    “But…”

    “That’s it. I have to change the contract. I’ll contact you later.”

    Fang Tong hurriedly hung up the phone, and Qiao Qiao had no time to say anything she had to swallow. She stood at the entrance of the film and television base and looked around. Unfamiliar buildings and streets came into view. Qiao Qiao felt deeply that her day would probably be difficult.

    Donghe’s film and television base can be regarded as one of the largest film and television cities in the industry. With the base as the center, it has also driven a number of commercial shops. Not far from the film and television city is the famous “Film and Television Commercial Street”, which is famous throughout the country for selling delicious and large-volume lunch boxes. There are also specialized talent exchanges in the commercial street.At the streaming market, there are more than a thousand extras waiting there every day to take jobs, including various special actors and technical talents. Some people even joked that it doesn’t matter if they don’t have time to prepare before the filming starts. If you walk around the commercial street for half an hour, you can pull out an experienced “crew” that can start work immediately.

    Qiao Qiao had nowhere to go and didn’t have much money in his pocket. He saw a Starbucks sign on the commercial street from a distance. Thinking that he could surf the Internet and enjoy the air conditioning, he walked over slowly.

    Most of the people sitting in Starbucks are people who work in film and television bases. A-list stars and the like will definitely not come to this kind of place. However, there are still a lot of assistants and stage managers, chatting together in small and small groups. They are just chatting about celebrity gossip during filming. If Qiao Qiao was smarter, she should have pricked up her ears and listened. Unfortunately, she is really not interested in the entertainment industry. After entering, she quickly found a booth closest to WIFI and played with her mobile phone.

    “It’s really hot today.” Two young girls in fashionable clothes entered Starbucks affectionately, holding each other’s arms. They both had good looks, and their clothes were completely different from the lower-level staff in the room. Many people quickly stood up to say hello when they saw them. They were obviously famous.

    “Oh, I really didn’t expect Actor Liang—” The one with red hair was nudged by another as soon as she started talking. He looked around pointedly, obviously signaling her to stop talking nonsense.

    The red-haired man stopped quickly, and the other people around him who had their ears pricked up couldn’t help but feel a little disappointed. These two people were from the crew of Best Actor Liang. If they could find out any information, even trivial information, they could make a fortune by selling it to entertainment tabloids.

    The two of them didn’t leave after getting the coffee. After looking around, they chose a corner with relatively few people to sit down, which happened to be next to Qiao Qiao.

    “If you ask me, Assistant Director Wang must have brought it upon himself.” The red-haired man lowered his voice, “Actor Liang is famous in the industry for being unpredictable and unpredictable. Standing in front of you, you can’t even tell whether his smile is staged. But today, the air pressure is so low that it can freeze someone to death.”

    “No, have you seen that ‘Concubine No. 5’? Tsk, tsk, tsk, her eyes are swollen into big peaches from crying.” The one in the white dress continued, “If she can’t get rid of the swelling tomorrow, she will have to change her eyes.”

    “A friend of mine in the locker room told me that the ‘Concubine No. 5’ was there for someone else.”

    “You mean…” The woman in the white dress hesitated.

    “It’s what you think! I heard that he cut off the man’s clothes and dressed up himself to find the director.” The red-haired man smiled gloatingly, “If she had known that Actor Liang was not happy with this role, she would have refused to take the role. Her intestines would probably be filled with regret at this moment.”

    “The one who was replaced is really lucky. Did you notice the way Actor Liang looked at ‘Concubine No. 5’ today? As an outsider, I felt very scared. Just before we came out, the writing team received a notice saying that this character was to be deleted. I don’t know whether it is true or not.”

    “Who cares about whether a character is deleted or not? It’s just one sentence.”

    “Same.”

    Then the two chatted about some miscellaneous things, and left after drinking a cup of coffee.

    Qiao Qiao looked back at the two of them as they left, feeling mixed in his heart.

    In fact, when something like this happened last time, Qiao Qiao backed down for a while. Later, he considered that it was hard for him to get the ‘Concubine No. 5’. If he quit temporarily, it would not only cause trouble to the crew, but also look too cowardly, so he forced himself to come to Donghe.Unexpectedly… maybe she should really thank the person who stole her role?

    But what exactly does Liang Jize want to do?

    Qiao Qiao struggled to think about this problem for a long time but could not figure it out. She believed that there was nothing worth plotting in her body. Even her figure and appearance could only be considered mid-range in the entertainment industry where beauties and handsome men gathered. She originally thought that Liang Jize would lose interest in her after he succeeded once and just wanted to try something new. But looking at this attitude, the other party obviously had no intention of letting her go.

    Fortunately, he has withdrawn from the group.

    Thinking that she would never have to interact with such a scary person again, Qiao Qiao felt relieved again. She glanced at her watch and saw that the clock had reached four o’clock in the afternoon and she was ready to go back to WAWA.

    Most of the crew also started to call it a day. There were a lot fewer people in Starbucks, and there were only a few people waiting for jobs in the talent market outside. Except for some crews who worked late at night, the day at Donghe Film and Television Base basically passed like this.

    Because there was no direct bus to WAWA, Qiao Qiao could only get off at the transfer station. After thinking that WAWA was not far away, and his muscles and bones needed to stretch after sitting for a day, Qiao Qiao decided to walk back.

    She passed by a pedestrian street and saw the colorful candy gift boxes displayed in the window of a shop. She smelled the sweet air coming from an unknown bakery and suddenly, without warning, she remembered the “Mr. Rabbit” she met a long time ago.

    Qiao Qiao still doesn’t know who it is, but the other person makes her feel so comfortable that she can’t help but want to get closer.

    Fang Tong never called Qiao Qiao again, so Qiao Qiao was not in a hurry to go back. The summer was long, and the coolness started to set in at five or six o’clock. Qiao Qiao was walking aimlessly on the street, unaware that a black car had followed him behind him.

    She walked slowly on the sidewalk as usual, and even bought two skewers of fish balls to hold in her hands. It wasn’t until she turned into a secluded street that she finally realized something was wrong.

    However, the black car has followed up silently, like a beast waiting for an opportunity to hunt in the grass. When the time is right, it will show its gleaming fangs.

    “W-What are you doing! Uh…”

    Two men got off the black car. One skillfully restrained Qiao Qiao’s arms, and the other quickly put a wet cloth over Qiao Qiao’s mouth. The movements were professional and well-trained. Qiao Qiao, who was already on guard, was taken down in less than a second, without even finishing a sentence.

    During the struggle, she tried to remember the appearance of the two people, but the blurred vision made it extremely difficult for her eyes to focus, and her brain began to become sluggish and cloudy. The lack of oxygen forced Qiao Qiao to take a deep breath, but the pungent smell of the medicine rushed into the lungs without warning. Qiao Qiao coughed twice and then fell down silently.

    The two men quickly put the person into the back seat of the car. As soon as the door was closed, the black car merged into the traffic not far away as smoothly as when it came. Only two strings of fish balls on the ground were left, becoming the only witnesses to the kidnapping.
