Chapter 172: The Kiss in the Photographic Studio!
After having breakfast made by Director Xu, Zhang Ziheng rode in her car and arrived at the company together. When he came to the design department, he found Wang Xue sitting in his seat, looking like she was waiting for him. Recalling what had been decided last night, Zhang Ziheng took a deep breath and walked over.
"Cough cough, Xue Er, how did you get here?" Zhang Ziheng said in a low voice.
Wang Xue seemed to have not noticed his tone, looking at the screen while saying: "I thought about it all night yesterday at home and finally figured it out. It's actually nothing, just taking a commercial together, not like we're doing something that can't be seen by others, I didn't need to get so angry with you."
"Huh? Huh?" Zhang Ziheng was stunned, looking at Wang Xue with a puzzled face, wondering how she had suddenly changed her personality. Was this still her?
"Oh no, I've been robbed again! This computer's internet speed is really slow." Wang Xue frowned and said, then she closed the webpage, turned her head to look at Zhang Ziheng, and smiled: "What's wrong? Are you too excited? You especially hoped I'd say that, didn't you?"
"Huh? Ah... No, won't, how is that possible? Actually, Xue Er, you know, no matter what decision you make I will support you and do as you say." Zhang Zi Heng chuckled.
Wang Xue gave him a cold glance and said, "Hmph, smooth talker. Just by looking at you, I can tell how thrilled you are. But don't get too excited yet, I have demands."
Zhang Ziheng was taken aback and asked, "What requirements?"
"You're going to shoot an ad, so you must have an assistant. I want to be your assistant and stay by your side every minute, even if you want to cheat on me, it's not possible." Wang Xue said.
Zhang Ziheng chuckled and said, "Hey, I thought it was something. Alright, no problem, but you'd better think carefully about this. Being an assistant isn't easy, to put it simply, it's a job serving others. What can you do?"
Wang Xue frowned and looked at him, saying: "What do you mean by this? Why can't I do it anymore? When we were at home, who was busy running around? Who cooked for you? Who cleaned the house for you? Who gave you a massage when you were tired?"
Zhang Ziheng hastily covered her mouth, looked around and then whispered: "Yes, yes, I was wrong. I dare not speak randomly. But you shouldn't say everything either, this is in the company, it's not good for others to hear."
Wang Xue hummed, opened her mouth and bit Zhang Ziheng's palm, then said: "How did you spend last night? Your eyes are red, didn't sleep well?"
"It's not that I didn't sleep well, but thinking about what happened last night, Zhang Ziheng is still a bit tense. But he can't tell Wang Xue the truth, or she'll blow up again. "Ah... it's nothing, I spent the whole night at the internet cafe yesterday, you know, I was afraid that if I fell asleep, it wouldn't be safe. You never know what kind of people are in there, what if someone steals my stuff? So I didn't sleep all night and played games till dawn."
"What? You didn't sleep all night? Alas, why are you so silly? Can't you go stay in a hotel? Alright, just take the day off and go home to sleep, I'll just call Xu Jie to let her know." Wang Xue said with a frown.
"Ah, no need to. I've been quite busy with work lately, and I just became a project manager, there's a lot of things waiting for me to do, how can I just play hooky? Xue Er, don't worry, I'm fine." Zhang Ziheng smiled.
"That can't be all about work and neglecting your body. Are you... are you in a hurry to film an advertisement with Yu Jie?" Wang Xue asked.
"Hey, Xue'er, what's on your mind? I'm doing all this for the company, for this project. Besides, didn't you say you wanted to be my assistant? With you by my side, what can I do? Alright, I'll promise you, once this project is done, I'll go out and play with you, how about that? Wherever you want to go, I'll accompany you." Zhang Ziheng smiled.
"Hmm? You're serious? Don't regret it." Wang Xue asked happily.
"Of course, how could I possibly go back on my word?"
"You really dare not go to work and ask for leave to play with me? I'm a bit unbelievable." Wang Xue laughed.
"What's there not to believe? I've calculated it, once this project is finished, it should be around National Day. At that time, the company will have a holiday, and we can go out and play." Zhang Ziheng said with a smile.
"Huh? So you had an ulterior motive all along and didn't really want to go out with me." Wang Xue said, furrowing her brow.
"Oh, it's not what you think, I'm being sincere, isn't this a coincidence? Hehe, alright, don't overthink it, I need to start work now. You also want me to finish this project quickly so I can accompany you, right?" Zhang Ziheng said with a smile.
Wang Xue glanced at him and snorted, saying: "You're always talking, I can't argue with you. Fine, you're busy, I'll go back to the planning department."
Finally managed to coax Wang Xue into a good mood, Zhang Ziheng can now focus on work with peace of mind. After reviewing the newly drafted contract, Bai Yujie was extremely satisfied, although the remuneration was slightly less than before, but she didn't mind at all, because what she cared about most was being able to film this commercial with Zhang Ziheng.
With the experience of shooting commercials last time, Zhang Ziheng has accumulated a lot of experience. From the filming team to the setting matching, he requires everything to be perfect. Of course, these are what he should do and must do. But there is one thing that he has no experience with at all, which is shooting commercials in person.
After all, Zhang Ziheng had never learned acting before, and his personality was relatively introverted, so he took a shot for six consecutive times. In the end, even the director couldn't bear it, frowning and scolding him with an unpleasant face.
Zhang Ziheng knew he didn't do well, so he didn't dare to complain and could only lower his head to listen to the director's reprimand. He didn't care, but someone couldn't bear it anymore. Wang Xue was a person with a bad temper, and someone dared to mention her boyfriend in front of her, which was simply asking for trouble. Seeing the director scolding Zhang Ziheng without mercy, Wang Xue glared and walked over to argue with the director.
"He's not a professional actor, and you're the director, you should teach him how to act, how can you blame him?" Wang Xue shouted loudly.
The director only knew that Wang Xue was Zhang Ziheng's assistant and had no idea she was the daughter of the advertising company's chairman, so seeing her argue with him made the director even angrier. "What do you know, you're just an assistant? What right do you have to speak? Get out of the way."
"You..."
"Ah, sorry, sorry, director. Don't blame her, she's always like this. It's okay, I'll do my best to act well and won't mess up again, please don't worry." Zhang Ziheng hastily pulled Wang Xue aside and whispered: "Xue'er, what are you doing?"
"Who let her say that about you? Isn't it just like many professional actors do too, why doesn't she argue with those big stars? I think she's just going through menopause, an old woman." Wang Xue said discontentedly.
"Hey, just say a few less words. No matter what she says, she's the director, and you're arguing with her in front of so many people, isn't that making it hard for her to save face? Alright, alright, just listen to me, stand aside and watch, okay? I'm begging you." Zhang Ziheng said.
Wang Xue thought for a moment, then looked at the female director not far away and nodded: "Okay, as long as she doesn't say that about you again, I won't quarrel with her."
The director was furious, who would be like this? Just then, Bai Yujie walked over and smiled: "Director, I'm really sorry, he hasn't received any training before, so he's like this. Can you just give me some face and not say anything about him?"
Looking at Bai Yujie's smiling face, anyone who sees it will soften their heart. "Sigh, actually I don't have to scold him, it's just that his acting is really not good. I really can't understand why they had to use him when there are so many professional and excellent actors available."
Bai Yujie smiled and said, "Actually, this is what I meant. He... hehe, director, I'll only tell you, don't tell anyone else, okay? Actually, he's my boyfriend. We've been together since we were in college. After I returned to China, I found out he was working at an advertising company, so... hehe."
So, the director suddenly understood everything. "Oh, I see what's going on now. Alright, I get it. You're all women and you think those things in your heart, I understand. Okay, so I'll give him another chance. Let him come over here and I'll have a good talk with him."
"That's really thank you, director, I'll let him come over right away." Bai Yujie smiled happily.
"Remember, when you're taking pictures later, don't get too close to her, got it? And also, don't smile so brightly at her, it's annoying to look at." Wang Xue seriously reminded.
Zhang Ziheng smiled and nodded, saying: "Alright alright alright, I know, I'll be back in a while..."
"Zi Heng, Director Rang wants you to go over there, she has something to discuss with you about the play." Bai Yujie walked over and said with a smile.
"Oh, thank you, I know." Zhang Ziheng smiled and said, "Alright, Xue'er, I'm going over now."
Wang Xue had just quarreled with the director and was in a bad mood. Now, seeing Bai Yujie again, she scowled even more. But Bai Yujie smiled at her with a smile on her face, saying: "You're quite capable, actually thinking of becoming Zi Hang's assistant. It seems I really underestimated you."
"You think you're the only one who can use schemes and tricks? Let me tell you, if you want to compete with me for a man, you're not even qualified."
"Hehe, you'll know when the time comes, don't cry just because Zi Heng was snatched away." Bai Yujie said as she turned and walked away.
"Hmph, what arrogance, I don't believe you can get away with it."
"Alright, alright, everyone in position, lighting, get the lighting right." The director shouted. "Yujie, stand over there, yes, that's it. And you, Zhang Ziheng, stand next to Yujie and put your arm around her. When I say 'start', Yujie, you give him a peck on the cheek, then both of you smile at the camera together, got it?"
"Huh? No... Director, it didn't seem like that just now?" Zhang Ziheng asked.
"The script has been changed, so you all need to change too. Alright, no more nonsense, everyone pay attention, get ready, start!" the director shouted.
Before Zhang Ziheng could react, Bai Yujie kissed him on the cheek and then smiled happily at the camera. Zhang Ziheng couldn't smile at this time, looking at Wang Xue not far away, who was about to explode with anger.
