Rebirth: I have Monopoly System

Chapter 152: Chapter 152: Heading to the Film Set

Li Fengying offered a rare smile. "Miss Qi, please don’t be so formal. Just tell me if you need anything. President Wu has already instructed me to be responsible for your safety."

Hearing Li Fengying’s words, Qi Fei felt a warmth spread through her heart. After chatting a bit more with Li Fengying and Liu Xin about their backgrounds, she took out her phone and started a video call with Wu Yun.

The call connected, revealing an unfamiliar young man on the screen. He was somewhat handsome, but the two dark circles under his eyes and his listless gaze indicated that he definitely hadn’t slept well last night.

"Who are you? Where’s Wu Yun?" Qi Fei asked, her tone flat. Her expression reverted to its usual look that kept people at a distance.

"Oh, oh, the boss is driving!" Liu Yongheng quickly turned the phone around, aiming the front-facing camera at Wu Yun.

Qi Fei saw Wu Yun steering an unfamiliar Mercedes with one hand and broke into a smile. "Xiaoyunzi! I’m on my way to Jinling! I want you to come visit me on set!"

Wu Yun first checked the road conditions ahead before turning to smile at Qi Fei. "Senior! I’ll come as soon as I’m done with things here! The school still has the welcome party! I’ll come during the National Day holiday!"

"Hmph! Off to flirt with the younger girls again! Drive safely! We’ll talk when you get there. Remember to call me!" Qi Fei actually had a lot more to say, but seeing that it wasn’t a good time for Wu Yun, she took the initiative and ended the video call.

She also knew that Wu Yun had treated his whole class to dinner last night, so they were probably just now heading back to school.

...

Liu Yongheng stared at Wu Yun with wide eyes, as if he had just discovered the biggest secret in the world.

"Holy shit, why are your eyes so wide?!" Wu Yun felt his skin crawl under Liu Yongheng’s stare as he glanced at the right-side mirror while driving.

"No matter how wide you stare, I’m not into men!"

Liu Yongheng cupped his fists together in a fawning gesture. "Boss, teach me, how do you do it?"

"Bro! You’re my real bro! Don’t you understand how it feels for us who are dying of thirst?!"

Liu Yongheng’s strange behavior caught the attention of Li Shiming and Pang Guang in the back seat, who were still relishing the wonderful memories from the early morning.

"What ’dying of thirst’?" Li Shiming was now very sensitive to such suggestive words, and even his effeminate voice carried a hint of masculinity.

Pang Guang was like a changed man, his face flushed and his heart restless.

Liu Yongheng first glanced at Wu Yun. After seeing Wu Yun nod, he said, "I just answered a video call from a senior for the boss!"

"Tch~ What’s so surprising about that? It’s not like we haven’t seen that senior before. You’re making a big deal out of nothing!" After speaking, Li Shiming lay back down, chuckling as he looked at the photos on his phone.

Liu Yongheng recalled the stunning face he saw the moment the video connected and said faintly, "If it were *that* senior, would I be this excited? She’s just too beautiful! I tried to think of a line of poetry to describe her but realized I’m completely uncultured! Calling her a beauty who could make fish sink and geese fall from the sky wouldn’t be an exaggeration!"

"What! You’re saying the boss is two-timing?!" Li Shiming shot upright and exclaimed, "It really is a case of ’some die of thirst while others drown in the flood’!"

Recalling that wonderful feeling, Li Shiming suddenly shouted excitedly, "Big Boss! Let me in on this! It’s only today that I’ve realized being a ’craftsman’ is the lowest of the low!"

Pang Guang was no longer as bashful as before. He leaned forward, holding onto the back of the driver’s seat, ready to listen to Wu Yun’s teachings.

"Calm down, calm down! You can’t learn from my experience!" Wu Yun chuckled, his smugness making the three of them want to grab him by the neck and interrogate him.

"First! You need to have a girlfriend! Only then can we talk about the next step!" Wu Yun glanced at Li Shiming’s constipated expression in the rearview mirror and continued with a laugh, "Three little chicks! Oh, no! You’re total newbies! You haven’t even learned to walk and you want to run! Go get some real combat experience!"

Liu Yongheng slapped his thigh and declared, "Boss! I’ve decided! I’m going to look for a car online when I get back today! I’ll try to buy one before the National Day holiday! Then I can ask some girls out! Hehe!"

Wu Yun didn’t want to dampen Liu Yongheng’s enthusiasm. But sometimes, you had to see if a car was even in stock; otherwise, he’d only be able to take ’route 11’ on his dates.

Seeing that they weren’t going to learn anything for the time being, the three virgins started asking about Qi Fei again.

...

After a nearly four-hour drive, the V-Class came to a steady stop in front of a restaurant in a small town next to Jinling Liuhe Ping Mountain Forest Park.

The three of them had a casual meal of local specialties at the restaurant.

While eating, they listened to the local dialect and could just barely make out that the people were talking about the movie being filmed in the forest park.

Some were even making plans to go to the forest park together after their meal to see how a movie was filmed.

Qi Fei didn’t want to ask for special treatment, nor did she plan on calling Wu Jing. After all, she was still a minor figure in the industry. Doing so would only make people think she was acting like a diva or that she was relying on her sugar daddy!

But what Qi Fei didn’t know was that because she hadn’t attended the opening ceremony, many people already had a more or less negative opinion of her.

"Sister Xin, contact the production coordinator in a bit and ask where the crew is. We’ll go straight there!" Qi Fei was gradually getting into her role, starting to get used to having an assistant.

"Okay, Boss!" In truth, it was a bit awkward for her. Qi Fei was several years younger than she was. Calling her Sister Qi or Sister Fei felt inappropriate for someone younger, while calling her Feifei seemed to be overstepping her bounds. So she had settled on the all-purpose title of "Boss."

After the meal, Liu Xin went to contact the production coordinator. Perhaps because Wu Jing had specifically put in a word, Liu Xin was received very politely.

After getting the information she needed, she saw that Qi Fei had finished eating, so Liu Xin went ahead and paid for the meal.

"Boss, they’re by the lake. There’s an explosion scene this afternoon! They aren’t busy right now, so it’s a good time for us to head over."

The perk of being an assistant to a movie star was getting to see all sorts of behind-the-scenes action. Although it sometimes ruined the magic of watching the final movie, Liu Xin truly enjoyed it.

Since the filming location wasn’t too far, it was a ten-minute drive to the parking lot by the lake.

This was Qi Fei’s first time on a real movie set. Although she had done all sorts of simulations at school, it was definitely no substitute for the direct and comprehensive experience of being on location.

"Hurry, hurry, hurry! Double-check the detonator connections, make sure there are no problems," a crew member shouted into a walkie-talkie.

A large crew was bustling around a temporarily constructed white villa by the lake.

Qi Fei saw Ni Dahong standing by a camera, observing the set. There were also some other familiar faces from the silver screen, and even some of the foreigners gave her a strange sense of familiarity.

Qi Fei didn’t go and disturb them, instead following Liu Xin to find the production coordinator in charge.

"Miss Qi, you’re finally here! I’ll go get the director for you after this explosion scene is finished." The coordinator was a short, chubby man of about thirty, but he was completely respectful towards Qi Fei.

’No joke! This is another Jing Tian! *Knock on wood,* I shouldn’t jinx it. This movie is definitely going to be a blockbuster!’
