People always say the wall has ears, well the wall in show business was covered with ears.

“I’m fine, thanks to Wei Chang Feng.” Qi Le An put down the drinks and replied.

Assistant He sighed and opened the door for Hu Bin.

“An! Are you hurt?” Hu Bin asked with concern.

Qi Le An was so touched that so many people cared about him, he replied promptly, “I’m fine, really.”

Hu Bin closed the door and said indignantly, “I know that Fatty Wang, he is scum! An, just watch out in the future, I don’t want you to get hurt!”

Qi Le An found the way Hu Bin stressed ‘get hurt’ was quite amusing.

Hu Bin put on a straight face and said that was no laughing matter, he babbled on about that Fatty Wang, “He is a useless person himself, but his brother is one of the main property developers in this film and television base, that’s why he plays the tyrant at will in the area and everyone fawns upon him.”

Qi Le An didn’t know the inside information until now.

“But Wei Chang Feng is such a great man!” Hu Bin now slumped down in Assistant He’s bed and muttered, “You don’t see a chivalrous guy like him every day.”

Qi Le An felt so warm on hearing Wei Chang Feng’s name.

“Get out of my bed!” Assistant He glared at Hu Bin, “Here is your outfit for tomorrow, now go back to your own room, take a shower, and go to bed! You are shooting on location tomorrow, and we are leaving at six thirty!”

The crew were going to work in Team A/on Location and Team B/in Studio for a few days to save time staring from the day after, Hu Bin, Lin Xue and Wei Chang Feng would be shooting with Team A, while the rest would shoot with Team B.

Hu Bin left them reluctantly.

Qi Le An had no shooting the next morning, but he couldn’t fall asleep after Assistant He left. He figured he might as well get up and study the scripts, Weibo(Chinese Twitter) wasn’t a thing back then, Qi Le An found he could concentrate better without distractions like social media.

Qi Le An had lunch around eleven, then he went to the setting. Having no assistant, Qi Le An was used to take care of himself.

The Deputy Director appreciated this young man a lot, he even greeted Qi Le An on his initiative. Qi Le An greeted him as well, then he went to the dressing room.

Hu Bin and Lin Xue were back on the weekend, Hu Bin told Qi Le An that Wei Chang Feng had left for his part was all finished.

Mr. Li came to visit Qi Le An this day, he brought a lot of snacks for the crew members, “Our An is very lucky to work with this crew, please bear with him if he does something wrong.”

Mr. Li looked so friendly, all the crew members started to like Mr. Li as well, they thought Qi Le An was Mr. Li’s student, Mr. Li must be really nice as well.

The Deputy Director allowed Qi Le An to spend some time with Mr. Li in the afternoon.

However, Mr. Li’s face darkened as soon as he walked out of the setting with Qi Le An.

“An, I heard you’ve offended Boss Wang?” Disapproval was written all over Mr. Li’s face.

“That was pure misunderstanding,” Qi Le An explained, he didn’t want say anything that might upset Mr. Li at the moment so he simply added, “it’s all settled now.”

Mr. Li looked a bit displeased, “Boss Wang has a lot of connections, don’t offend him any more. Let’s go apologize to him tonight.”

Then Mr. Li said, “I need some rest now, wake me up later.” Mr. Li was exhausted for he had taken the earliest flight that morning.
