NovelEnglishWen Rou waited outside room 2507. The door opened and she saw Ji Qingqing with an abnormally flushed face. She appeared tired and listless and was barely even standing properly.
“Sister Qingqing, what happened to you?” She immediately rushed forward to help her. When she touched Ji Qingqing’s hands, she could feel that their temperature was higher than usual. “Sister Qingqing, you have a fever?” She exclaimed.
Ji Qingqing’s whole body felt weak, she feebly leaned on Wen Rou and headed toward the direction of the elevator. She could feel that the air she exhaled was hot.
“Yes, a little.”
“Sister Qingqing, I think you should still go to the hospital for a check-up, you look…
Ji Qingqing waved her hand. “It’s fine, when I fell sick in the past, I usually recovered by taking a couple pills and sleeping. Is the room ready?”
Wen Rou handed the room card to her, she was still concerned. “Does President Lu know?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Mn, I told him.” Ji Qingqing yawned. She had just taken the medicine and was too groggy to continue speaking. “I can’t share the same room with him until I recover from my cold. What if it spreads to him? Alright, don’t worry. It’s just a slight cold, I can handle it.”
The elevator doors opened and both of them entered it. In the elevator, Ji Qingqing could see her flushed face reflected on the walls. She thought to herself, this body is far too weak.
“Oh right, I don’t have any filming scheduled for tomorrow’s afternoon. How about this, when you come to see me tomorrow morning, if you find that my condition hasn’t improved, help me request leave and inform Director Zhou that I am not feeling well.”
“Okay.”
Wen Rou carefully helped her into the newly booked room. Once Ji Qingqing saw the bed, she immediately laid down, wrapped herself in a blanket and began sleeping. Then Wen Rou came over with some cold medicine and a glass of warm water. She placed them at the side of the bed and instructed her softly.
Ji Qingqing’s head was spinning. Her eyelids were so heavy that she couldn’t lift them. She also couldn’t catch what exactly Wen Rou was saying. Hearing Wen Rou rambling incessantly, her head throbbed in pain, as if it had split open. She casually ‘Mn’-ed twice, indicating that she heard it, before turning over to wrap herself tightly in her blanket.
The world became silent.
Wen Rou gave up and left the room quietly.
Meanwhile, in room 2507, Lu Lixing’s call ended.
It was from Chen Shuyi, who had called to report his findings. There was a deal between Deputy Director Lin and Meng Xun when he first arrived at the filming studio.
After the company’s internal investigation, Meng Xun herself confessed she did it of her own volition.
And through Meng Xun, Tianyu Entertainment’s dirty internal affairs were thereby uncovered. The top brass was corrupt and their subordinates followed them. From Meng Xun to Vice President Li, in between, a total of ten people of various rank were involved.
To be honest, those inside the entertainment industry were hard to deal with. The people involved all held important positions in Tianyu Entertainment. Their concealment of the true state of affairs was rather well-played.
Lu Lixing instructed Chen Shuyi to begin a proper restructuring of the company and hung up.
Just after hanging up, he received a call from Old Lu. The call wasn’t really about anything important, it was just to check how they were doing. Lu Lixing subsequently recounted what happened the past two days to Old Lu. He originally intended to let Ji Qingqing speak a few words to Old Lu, but after searching the entire room, he was still unable to find her.
“Lixing, what’s wrong? Where’s Qingqing?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmLu Lixing glanced at the tidied bed and replied, “She’s still busy, I’ll ask her to give you a call later.”
“Nevermind, it’s not really that urgent. She must be feeling very tired after filming for a whole day. Let her get some rest.”
“Alright. In that case, you should also rest early too.”
After hanging up, Lu Lixing dialed Ji Qingqing’s number. He dialed it two or three times but nobody picked up.
Only after exiting the call screen did he notice that there was a weixin message from Ji Qingqing.
T/N: weixin is a message app that is similar to whatsapp.
——Mr. Lu, I’ve fallen sick. As I don’t want to spread it to you, I won’t be sleeping in the same room with you tonight.
Lu Lixing looked at the message on the screen and sighed. Then he dialed Qin Yue’s number and asked which room Ji Qingqing moved to and Qin Yue replied that he wasn’t sure. 5 minutes later, Qin Yue came over personally and informed him that Wen Rou had booked another room for Ji Qingqing. And Ji Qingqing’s current room was 1908.
