Chapter 528: Meeting Alone (5K has arrived, and I don’t know if I can make it in time for one more)

Then Sister Ling said earnestly:
"This is Director Li's movie. Do you know how many people are watching it?"

"Don't make any mistakes at this critical moment, do you hear me?"

"I know, I know!" Qiao Jingjing nodded, then said suspiciously:

"But why did Director Li choose me for his new movie? It seems that we have no connection with Director Li, right?"

Although Qiao Jingjing is so popular, she has always been in the TV drama circle. She has also filmed a few movies, but she does not have many representative works.

Director Li is a well-known director, and his movies are either critically acclaimed or box office hits.

There were so many best actor and actresses lining up waiting for the award, Qiao Jingjing couldn't understand why she was chosen.

"I'm also very surprised by this!" Sister Ling replied:

"When I was chatting with Director Li last night, I also asked him about it in a roundabout way, but Director Li didn't reveal anything. He just said that he was very optimistic about you."

Hearing this, Qiao Jingjing didn't think too much about it. As long as it was good for her, it was fine. So she said happily:

"Is this true? Is my acting so good that I can impress a big director?"

Sister Ling thought for a moment and said:

"Who cares? It's no use not eating the cake that's right in front of you. Besides, this is a great opportunity. If you succeed, you'll have a masterpiece that you can show off, and your future will be even brighter."

Finally, Sister Ling gave Qiao Jingjing a few more words of advice, asking her to keep a low profile and not be caught by the paparazzi before hanging up the phone.

"Did you hear that?" After hanging up the phone, Qiao Jingjing immediately started to show off:
"A big director like Director Li was impressed by my acting skills and invited me to star in his new movie!"

Hearing this, Lin Hao just smiled perfunctorily and said, "Great, great!"

Lin Hao did not tell Qiao Jingjing the real reason why Director Li chose her.

The studio of Director Li mentioned by Qiao Jingjing was acquired by a film company newly registered by Lin Haoxin. Although it only acquired 30% of the shares, what he said was also influential.

What's more, Lin Hao is the largest investor of this movie. Since Lin Hao has spoken, he will not refuse to give him this little face.

"Tsk, so perfunctory. No sincerity at all." Qiao Jingjing glared at Lin Hao, then turned her gaze to Xiao Zhu.

Seeing this, Xiao Zhu immediately understood:
"Sister Jingjing's acting skills are obvious to all. I think it is natural for Director Li to choose Sister Jingjing to film a movie!"

"If in two years, he wants to ask our sister Jingjing to make a movie, our sister Jingjing may not be interested in it!"

Xiao Zhu's perfect flattery immediately made Qiao Jingjing smile.

"What nonsense are you talking about!" After saying that, he glanced at Lin Hao smugly.

That look seemed to be saying, look at how others speak, it will be difficult to win my favor if you speak like that.

In the afternoon, Qiao Jingjing is going to the advertising shooting location.

Originally, Lin Hao didn't want to go, but Qiao Jingjing insisted on dragging Lin Hao along, so Lin Hao had no choice but to go with her reluctantly.

To be honest, shooting commercials really had no appeal to him. After all, he had shot commercials for television in the real world, so there was nothing new about it.

In the lounge, the makeup artist was putting makeup on Qiao Jingjing.

While putting on makeup, she didn't forget to flatter Qiao Jingjing:
"Jingjing's skin is so good that she doesn't even need any touch-up. If everyone had skin like yours, we makeup artists would all be out of a job."

“Where~!”

Qiao Jingjing was polite in her words, but she was very happy in her heart.

Although her ears were almost callused from hearing these words, Lin Hao had never heard them before. It was much more comfortable to hear her being praised in front of Lin Hao than when they were alone.

Keep praising, don't stop!!!

At this time, the makeup artist glanced at Lin Hao who was sitting next to her reading a magazine and secretly swallowed her saliva:
"Jingjing~, is this the new person in your company?"

"He."

Qiao Jingjing glanced at Lin Hao through the mirror. Lin Hao was already handsome enough, and before going out, she specially changed Lin Hao's hairstyle and put on more handsome clothes.

This outfit is simply amazing, he is worthy of being the man that Qiao Jingjing likes.

Although she felt happy in her heart, Qiao Jingjing said calmly:

"He is just a new employee in our company."

"Just staff members?" The makeup artist exclaimed, "What a waste! It would be such a shame if she didn't make a debut with this face!"

"Really?" Qiao Jingjing raised her lips slightly when she heard that, and said to Lin Hao jokingly:
"Xiao Lin, did you hear that? People say it's a pity that you don't make your debut. Do you want to make your debut as a star?"

"That depends on how Teacher Qiao arranges it. I'm fine with it!" Lin Hao cooperated while playing games.

"So well behaved?" Qiao Jingjing said with a smile:

"Then is it okay to sign a ten-year contract?"

"It's too short. Is there a lifetime contract, the kind where you're hired once and employed for life?" Lin Hao replied.

Qiao Jingjing glanced at Lin Hao through the mirror and said, "You wish!"

"If you want to sign a long-term contract, it depends on your performance! You haven't even passed the probation period yet!"

"Fuck! Young people nowadays are working so hard to debut! Wait~!"

Lin Hao and Qiao Jingjing were talking back and forth, which scared the makeup artist. It took her a long time to come to her senses. They were just flirting!

"Damn it, you guys have had enough!" The makeup artist, who had his mouth full of dog food, kept complaining in his heart.

"Ding-ling-ling~, ding-ling-ling~!" At this time, Lin Hao's cell phone suddenly rang.

Lin Hao quit the game, took a look at the caller, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he walked to the window and answered the call.

Qiao Jingjing looked at Lin Hao who was answering the phone and didn't care much, but Xiao Zhu next to her seemed to have discovered something and looked at Qiao Jingjing with some concern.

Afterwards, Xiao Zhu hesitated whether to tell Qiao Jingjing about Lin Hao's abnormality, because Lin Hao's abnormality was just her guess.

After a while, Lin Hao came back in and said to Qiao Jingjing:

"Jingjing, you stay here to shoot the commercial first, I have something else to do and need to leave!"

"What's the matter?" Qiao Jingjing asked.

"I'm going to meet a friend!" Lin Hao picked up his coat and walked towards the door.

Qiao Jingjing looked at Lin Hao who was leaving. For some reason, she had a bad feeling in her heart, and then blurted out:
"Is it Xia Qing?"

Looking at the nervous Qiao Jingjing, Lin Hao felt quite happy, so he deliberately said:
"Yes, do you want to go see her together?"

Seeing Lin Hao's indifferent attitude, Qiao Jingjing was immediately furious. She was really angry in her heart.

As her boyfriend, he actually wanted to meet another woman alone. This was fine, but the key point was that this woman was Xia Qing, who had once stolen her boyfriend.

"I still have to film, and we just met yesterday, what's there to see each other about!" Qiao Jingjing said angrily.

"Okay, then I'll go!" But Lin Hao still said calmly, and then left without looking back.

Qiao Jingjing instinctively wanted to call out to Lin Hao, but she didn't know how to start. At this time, the door was opened again, and Qiao Jingjing thought that Lin Hao was not going.

However, the person who came in was a member of the crew, and the member of staff politely said to Qiao Jingjing:

"Ms. Qiao, the director is ready and waiting for you to come over!"

Qiao Jingjing was helpless. Thinking of Lin Hao's back as he left, she wanted to chase after him.

But if she stops filming now, I'm afraid that tomorrow Qiao Jingjing's acting like a big shot will become a hot topic on the search.

But since Lin Hao can say it so openly when he goes to see Xia Qing, nothing should happen, right?
Qiao Jingjing could only suppress her uneasy feelings and finish filming the commercial as quickly as possible.

the other side.

Lin Hao came to the coffee shop where he had made an appointment with Xia Qing, and Xia Qing had been waiting for a long time.

Seeing Lin Hao coming, Xia Qing immediately stood up to greet him.

"You're here~!" "Sorry for the wait~!"

Xia Qing and Lin Hao spoke at the same time, then smiled at each other and sat facing each other.

After the two of them sat down, the waiter came forward and asked:

"Miss Xia, what would you and this gentleman like to drink?"

Xia Qing looked at Lin Hao, and Lin Hao said:
"Whatever you want~!"

"If you want to, just follow my taste!" Seeing that Lin Hao didn't say anything, Xia Qing said directly without being polite:

“Two Americanos!”

After the waiter left, Xia Qing saw that the atmosphere was a bit cold, so she took the initiative to say:
"You and Qiao Jingjing, are you really together?"

"Why, doesn't it look like it?" Lin Hao answered casually.

Xia Qing frowned slightly, then said:
"It feels weird to me. You were on the same flight yesterday. She was in first class, and you and her assistant were in economy class!"

At this point, Xia Qing said in an uncertain tone: "That girl must be her assistant!"

"Yes, it's her assistant, her name is Xiao Zhu!" Lin Hao nodded and continued:
"It was her assistant Xiao Zhu who bought the wrong ticket yesterday. After all, it was only two or three hours, and I was too lazy to upgrade, so I stayed in economy class!"

After Lin Hao finished his explanation, the two were silent again. At this time, the waiter brought two cups of coffee!
Lin Hao picked up the coffee, felt it was a little hot, put it back, and then asked directly:
"You asked me out, is there something going on?"

"Why, can't we have a cup of coffee together after breaking up?" Xia Qing looked at Lin Hao and asked back.

"Sure, as long as your girlfriend doesn't mind!"

"I don't have a boyfriend!" Xia Qing blurted out, and then said seriously:

"After we broke up, although many people pursued me, I never had a boyfriend!"

At this time, Xia Qing's hands were under the table, twisted together in a helpless manner, looking a little uneasy!

"Why?" Lin Hao looked at Xia Qing, who was dressed up carefully, and asked, "You should find someone. Didn't you always want a stable life?"

"You should know why, none of them are as good as you!" Xia Qing smiled unconsciously as if she thought of something.

Lin Hao smiled and shook his head and said jokingly:
"You shouldn't use me as a reference, or you'll have a hard time finding a boyfriend!"

But Xia Qing lowered her head and said nothing for a while before she said:
"In fact, I never thought of finding another boyfriend. The moment I broke up with you, or the moment I opened my mouth, I regretted it..."

Lin Hao picked up the coffee and took a sip. It tasted a bit bitter. Looking at Xia Qing who was lost in memories of the past, he couldn't help but peek into her memory.

When Lin Hao opened his eyes again, he had already thought of a strategy.

Then Lin Hao interrupted directly:
"Xia Qing, I'm actually not as good as you think. I've never been a content person, otherwise I wouldn't have parted with you without any regrets when you proposed to break up!"

However, the more Lin Hao persuaded Xia Qing, the more Xia Qing felt Lin Hao's goodness, and she used some means to snatch Lin Hao away from Qiao Jingjing.

But after being with Lin Haozi, she really fell in love with Lin Hao and could not help herself. Now what she regrets most is breaking up.

Seeing Lin Hao pick up the bitter coffee and take another sip, Xia Qing seemed to have discovered something extraordinary and instantly cheered up.

Because in her memory, when they were together, Lin Hao had never been a person who would endure hardship.

Lin Hao is not used to American coffee, so he always adds sugar to it, and even adds milk when conditions permit.

Then he asked nervously:
"Do we still have a chance?"

However, Lin Hao's answer almost made Xia Qing collapse. She only heard Lin Hao say calmly:

"Before yesterday, Qiao Jingjing and I were still less than lovers. You provoked me on the plane, and last night you agreed to be my girlfriend!"

At this time, Xia Qing clenched her fists under the table, but she quickly recovered and found something wrong, which was that Lin Hao was too calm when he talked about Qiao Jingjing.

After all, she has been with Lin Hao for several years, and she still understands Lin Hao's personality.

If he was really with Qiao Jingjing, not to mention how clingy they were, he definitely wouldn't be so calm. When he talked about Qiao Jingjing, it was as if he was talking about a stranger.

So Xia Qing tried again:
"Then I'll ask you out, she won't misunderstand me, right?"

"I told her, and I asked her if she wanted to come, but she was busy shooting a commercial and didn't have time to come!" Lin Hao put the coffee cup back.

Xia Qing was certain that there must be something wrong between Lin Hao and Qiao Jingjing, so she said with a smile:

"Okay, let's not talk about these things anymore!"

Then Xia Qing changed the subject and said, "You resigned from the Aviation College. You really don't plan to work!"

And Lin Hao said honestly:

"It's impossible for me to work. I plan to take a break for a while and then go home to inherit billions of dollars!"

"Hehehe~!" Xia Qing chuckled, thinking that Lin Hao was joking, so she also laughed and joked:
"Your dream is as beautiful as you are. If you really want to go back and inherit the billions of dollars, how about I work for you?"

Lin Hao's eyes lit up, and then he said:

"That's perfect. I'd love to have a beauty like you working for me. It's a deal!"

"Okay, it's settled!" Xia Qing also said with a smile.

In fact, her biggest purpose in asking Lin Hao out alone today was to find out what the situation between Lin Hao and Qiao Jingjing was like!
She really didn't expect Qiao Jingjing to act so quickly, based on the information she had gathered from various sources last night.

As soon as Lin Hao resigned, he got in touch with Qiao Jingjing. And it’s only been a few days, less than half a month, and Qiao Jingjing became Lin Hao’s girlfriend.

However, after the inquiries just now, it was much better than she expected. At least the relationship between Lin Hao and Qiao Jingjing was not as close as Lin Hao said!
This was her chance. She then looked at her watch and said to Lin Hao:

"Are you busy? If not, how about coming to my house for a visit? It's in the neighborhood behind!" Xia Qing said, pointing to the back of the cafe.

Lin Hao hesitated for a moment, and finally said:
"This isn't appropriate, after all, we already~!"

"Let's go~!" Before Lin Hao could finish his words, Xia Qing came to Lin Hao, pulled him along and said:

"Are you afraid that I will eat you?"

"No, I'm not really afraid that you will eat me, but Jingjing will be unhappy if she can't find me later!" Lin Hao said with an embarrassed expression, but his body was dragged out of the cafe by Xia Qing.

In the end, Lin Hao came to Xia Qing's house, but he didn't stay long. He just recognized the door and then said goodbye and left.

Seeing Lin Hao was about to leave, Xia Qing hugged him from behind and said in tears:
"Lin Hao, please don't leave." The meaning of Xia Qing's words couldn't be clearer.

Lin Hao knew that Xia Qing was testing him, but he couldn't help but turn around and hug Xia Qing's soft body, but just for a moment.

If he really wanted to do something, Qiao Jingjing would be in big trouble.

After hugging for a while, Xia Qing started to act dishonestly, but Lin Hao gently pushed Xia Qing away.

"I'm sorry, I can't let Jingjing down!" Lin Hao said as he fled.

At this moment, Xia Qing showed a happy smile on her face. If I can take your first time from Qiao Jingjing, I can also take your second time from her!
······
When Lin Hao returned to the hotel, Qiao Jingjing had already finished filming the commercial and had been waiting anxiously.

Seeing Lin Hao coming back, Qiao Jingjing hurried forward, feeling that she was being too unrestrained, so she stopped in front of Lin Hao and said sarcastically:
"Why? After meeting your old lover, why didn't you stay with her?"

Lin Hao would definitely not tolerate Qiao Jingjing's attitude, especially since she agreed to be his girlfriend last night but refused to get close to him. Lin Hao was particularly dissatisfied with this.

So Lin Hao deliberately provoked:
"To be precise, Xia Qing is my ex-girlfriend. She is my ex-girlfriend with whom I slept together. Are you satisfied?"

With that, Lin Hao returned to his room and ignored Qiao Jingjing who was about to go crazy.

Qiao Jingjing felt like she was about to explode with anger, and immediately rushed into Lin Hao's room, only to be hugged by Lin Hao.

"Let me go, what do you mean, you~!"

Lin Hao looked at Xiao Zhu who was stunned outside the door, and then said:

"Xiao Zhu, go back to your room first. I want to talk to Jingjing about something!"

Then the door was slammed shut. Xiao Zhu didn't know whether to leave or not, after all, Qiao Jingjing was her boss, so she quickly contacted Sister Ling.

Inside the room, Lin Hao held Qiao Jingjing tightly, while Qiao Jingjing slapped Lin Hao hard, venting her anger madly.

After a long while, Lin Hao saw that Qiao Jingjing had calmed down. He knew that she had finished venting her anger, so he let her go and said:
"Jingjing, let's talk!"
