Chapter 481: Chapter 470: Young Master Zhan, do you think that person looks like Qiao Jing? Chapter 481: Chapter 470: Young Master Zhan, do you think that person looks like Qiao Jing? Qiao Jing gripped the sword hilt, stepping lightly, and smoothly climbed atop the prepared wooden piles on the set. Using her momentum, she bounced slightly and raced forward, leaving an impression as if she truly possessed the art of Qinggong.
Her sword dance was a blend of softness and strength. If someone skilled in swordsmanship had been watching at that moment, they would have realized that each of Qiao Jing’s moves was potentially lethal.
After landing securely from the last wooden pile, the tip of her sword still glinted with a cold chill.
Even though she wasn’t dressed in period costume, everyone on set felt as if Qiao Jing were the aloof senior sister from a martial arts school of ancient times.
After the sequence ended, those present were still immersed in the scene of the sword dance, unable to extricate themselves for a long time.
Qiao Jing returned the sword to the leading man and offered a reminder.
“Put some strength into your sword dance.”
She had taken the shortest time to review the scenes they had filmed over the past few days. The leading man’s acting was on point, but this particular scene needed improvement.
That was the only advice she could give to the third one.
It was then that the leading man came back to his senses, his gaze towards Qiao Jing shifting from disdain to admiration.
“Of course, Miss Qiao! Are you an actress? Why haven’t I seen you before? Your acting is amazing!”
He had been scrambling in the entertainment industry for so many years and had shot his fair share of period dramas. He was somewhat of a veteran, which was why he had initially looked down on this woman named Miss Qiao.
Although Qiao Jing had only performed a bit of swordplay, anyone versed in acting could tell that she was a hidden talent.
He had thought she was just an outsider who knew nothing, but on reflection, how could anyone treated with such respect by Director Gu be ordinary?
Qiao Jing shook her head and sat back down beside the third one.
“I’m not from the entertainment industry.”
She was already overwhelmed managing the research institute and Wonderful Hall. The second one even wanted to give her Zhouhuan Restaurant. If she were to add the entertainment industry to her plate,
it would take at least two Qiao Jings to handle it all – but she couldn’t split herself in two.
Upon hearing her words, those around showed expressions of surprise.
“No way? Those moves were so smooth, and she’s not even an actress?!”
“I’ve studied acting for five years, and if I were asked to perform that scene, I couldn’t guarantee I’d be as fluent as her. After watching her, I feel utterly inferior.”
“Cough cough cough… The leading man praised her, so how could her acting be poor? Besides, why don’t you think about it? How could a person known by Director Gu be ordinary?”
Gu Yunchen cleared his throat softly and said:
“Boss, if you want to, you can be one too. Since you don’t like to be in the spotlight as an actress, you could become a director like me.”
If it hadn’t been for the boss’ Continue reading more chapters on NovelHub for the best experience.
And most importantly, the boss had far more natural talent for directing than he did. There were even a few films that improved significantly thanks to her suggestions.
He didn’t want the boss’ talent to be buried.
Qiao Jing rejected Gu Yunchen’s suggestion without hesitation.
“I don’t have the time, nor am I interested in that field, but I can help you take a look if you need it.”
If she took on any more responsibilities, she was afraid she’d be exhausted to death.
Gu Yunchen didn’t persist any further.
He knew the boss had other work to attend to and understood that it was reason enough for not wanting to venture into the entertainment circle.
What a pity… the directing and acting worlds would be missing out on the best director and actress.
In the crowd, the cameraperson had captured the scene of Qiao Jing’s performance and, after processing it with proper mosaics, released it as a behind-the-scenes highlight.
On the other side, Zhan Qipei, who was still working at the company, suddenly received a message from Lu Zijiao.
“Young Master Zhan, take a look at this video. Does the woman in it look like Qiao Jing to you?”
Below the message was a shared Weibo link.
Upon seeing the first half of the sentence, Zhan Qipei initially did not want to pay attention to it.
Because Lu Zijiao usually had nothing to do than gossip and scroll through videos, and now he probably had found some fun stuff he wanted to show him.
But all Zhan Qipei wanted to do now was to work hard, earn money to provide for his family, for Qiao Jing and their child, and had no time to entertain Lu Zijiao.
However, as soon as he saw Qiao Jing’s name, he subconsciously clicked on the link.
After being redirected to Weibo, Zhan Qipei saw the text attached to the video.
“Behind-the-scenes of Director Gu Yunchen’s new drama! Out of the crowd, a master suddenly steps in to guide the lead actor, the Sword Dance is so cool!”
Zhan Qipei drew his brows together, and a hint of doubt surfaced in his dark eyes.
If it was as Lu Zijiao said, and the person in the video was Qiao Jing, how come he did not know his wife had gone into the entertainment industry?
Logically, at this time, Qiao Jing should be at her research institute working.
Zhan Qipei clicked on the video and saw a woman’s figure.
Almost at the very first sight of the woman’s figure, he recognized her.
The woman who was performing the Sword Dance on wooden stakes was Qiao Jing.
Zhan Qipei stared motionless at the figure of Qiao Jing, and when he saw the woman stepping briskly on the wooden stakes, his heart suddenly lurched.
What was the background of this film crew to dare let his wife be a free consultant?
And why did Qiao Jing go to this film crew?
All these were not the main point, the main point was—Qiao Jing was currently pregnant, with triplets in her belly, what if she missed a step and fell?
Zhan Qipei stood up subconsciously, pushing aside the documents in his hands, and accidentally scattered other papers all over the floor.
He did not care about it, reached for his suit jacket that was on the back of the chair, and began to head out.
Tang Yan in the office was concentrating on processing documents at another table and was startled by the noise Zhan Qipei made.
He patted his chest and murmured to himself.
He was almost scared out of his wits…
He had just looked up to see what was going on when he noticed that Zhan Qipei seemed ready to leave work again.
Tang Yan felt like he wanted to howl at the sky.
Why did his boss have to suddenly leave every two or three days?
There were so many contracts that Zhan Qipei had yet to review and sign; if he left directly again, Tang Yan would have to deal with them himself.
“Boss… Where are you going?”
After seeing Qiao Jing safely landing on the screen of his phone, Zhan Qipei stopped in his tracks, and his tightly furrowed brows gradually relaxed.
He could ask Qiao Jing about this when he got home; he was very worried about her health.
Seeing Zhan Qipei sitting back down in his office chair, Tang Yan’s face showed a relieved expression.
Although the boss did not seem alright, as long as he was not walking out, that was fine.
Otherwise, the one to suffer would again be him.
When Zhan Qipei was trying to exit the page, he accidentally scrolled down and saw the comments of the netizens.
