Chapter 517: Zhou Manning’s Attention
In the blink of an eye, two or three days passed. During this time, Zhou Manning was very solicitous toward Xie Mingxuan. Not to mention the others on set who knew about this, even Director Li, who tended to be very slow since he was focused on filming, felt that something wasn’t right about how “Manqing” treated Mingxuan!
Fortunately, the real Zhou Manqing’s image had always been good. After Zhou Manning replaced her, she had faked it well. Although her reputation in the public eye had collapsed a little, her overall image was still pretty good.
Other than a deep understanding of Zhou Manning’s acting skills, Director Li didn’t know much about her character. However, Director Li thought that at Mingxuan’s age, dating would be pretty good and beneficial to his career, and was a little happy to see it happen.
On the side, Yu Qun, the main lead, had long seen through Zhou Manning’s lascivious nature. Back then, Zhou Manning had also flirted with him. She also stepped over him and went off to flirt with Xie Mingxuan. When Yu Qun first joined the production, his secret entanglements with Zhou Manning had been pretty heated. After that, he saw her flirting with Xie Mingxuan. In addition, Xie Mingxuan always stole the limelight with his acting; it would be strange if Yu Qun liked Xie Mingxuan back then.
But he then thought about how Master Chi had helped him a few times, and how he had almost been blacklisted the last time. When he called Master Chi back then, he actually hadn’t had much hope. He and his manager originally thought that there was no room for negotiation, but who would have thought that when his company’s boss went to Qi Corporation the next day to test the waters, Assistant Zhu sent word that they had no intention of blacklisting Yu Qun.
Yu Qun had always remembered this favor, and he also knew that Xie Mingxuan and Master Chi were quite close. When “Zhou Manqing” wasn’t around, he ran over to Xie Mingxuan and warned him, “I advise you to stay away from that Zhou woman. She isn’t a good person.”
Apart from her lascivious nature, he always felt that “Zhou Manqing” was a bit of a hypocrite. When the two were fooling around back then, he happened to see a bit of her usual way of doing things. His team had been worried when he was still fooling around with “Zhou Manqing,” so they had specially investigated her. The more they investigated, the more they felt that this woman’s methods weren’t simple.
Yu Qun couldn’t say in what way, but in short, just don’t get involved.
“Thanks!” Xie Mingxuan was a bit surprised and grateful that Yu Qun would take the initiative to remind him to stay away from “Zhou Manqing.” His face also softened a bit. He naturally knew that he and “Zhou Manqing” weren’t cut from the same cloth.
But for some reason, that woman suddenly changed her attitude and became especially enthusiastic and solicitous toward him. Looking at her burning gaze, he felt that there was something else.
Xie Mingxuan also wondered at first if this woman’s sudden change in character was because she was after something. But he wasn’t famous or rich right now, and he couldn’t figure out what she would want. However, if she really just wanted to develop a secret relationship with him, there was no need for her to let everyone know.
This woman had occasionally flirted with him in private before.
It was fine for him to refuse when “Zhou Manqing” teased him privately, but she was doing everything out in the open, as if she really wanted to have a good relationship with him. For a moment, he didn’t know how to refuse!
Yu Qun had only said a few words to Xie Mingxuan, when Zhou Manning’s gentle and intimate voice rang out not far away. “Mingxuan!”
Yu Qun looked up and saw Zhou Manning carrying some boxes over. He heard her say gently, “Mingxuan, have you eaten lunch? If you haven’t, why don’t we eat together? I cooked this myself!”
