The Common Man's Return in Chinese Entertainment

Chapter 52 Han Chae-young's Invitation

Seeing that everyone immediately quieted down, the person in charge scanned the room and said, "This collaboration is related to the TV station's future plans. I don't care what methods you use, you are not allowed to lose to Chinese actors. We are both collaborators and competitors. If anyone performs poorly..."

Noticing that everyone had tensed up, the person in charge was quite satisfied. "In short, give it your best, understand?"

"Understood! ×N"

"Okay, that's all for today. Everyone go home and get some rest. I hope to see a different side of you all tomorrow."

Upon hearing this, everyone stood up in turn, bowed to the person in charge, and then walked out of the room.

When only the person in charge and Lin Dongzhen, who played Luo Mingguo's father, remained in the room, the person in charge sighed helplessly, "Damn it, something feels off."

Lin Dongzhen smiled and comforted him, "I believe that Ji Qingxu is the best even in China. After all, there are so many people in China, it is not surprising that such a young and outstanding actor can be found."

The person in charge nodded in agreement, "That's right, it's a pity about our side... Teacher Lin, please keep an eye on things for the rest of your filming career."

Lin Dongzhen replied with a smile, "Okay."

......

The next day, after lunch, Ji Qingxu was about to go to the lounge to rest for a while when he saw the female lead, Han Chae-young, walking towards him.

Seeing this, Ji Qingxu stopped and asked with a smile, "Chae Young-seok, what do you mean?"

Han Chae-young nodded, a shy smile on her face. "Qing Xuxi, could I do you a favor?"

Ji Qingxu smiled and said, "Go on."

Han Chae-young paused, carefully observing Ji Qingxu's expression as she cautiously said, "You know I'll be filming this entirely in Chinese. Although I've had some training, I'm still not very fluent in Chinese. Could you please help me get used to it during this time? We have a lot of scenes together, and I'm worried that it might affect the filming schedule once we officially start shooting. What do you think...?"

Upon hearing this request, Ji Qingxu smiled and said, "No problem, when do you have time?"

"Ah, you agreed? I... thank you so much, Qing Xuxi, thank you so much."

Seeing Han Chae-young's surprised expression and her repeated bows to express her gratitude, Ji Qingxu blinked. It was truly unexpected. Although he knew this woman had a great figure from their first meeting yesterday, he didn't expect her to have the size of an E cup, or more accurately, a 34E, if he wasn't mistaken.

Han Chae-young was wearing a floral print halter dress today, and when she bent over, her impressive strength was immediately apparent.

Noticing that everyone else was looking over, Ji Qingxu smiled and reached out to help her up. "Caiyingxi, there's no need to be so polite. You're a guest from afar. Let's discuss the time first."

Upon hearing Ji Qingxu's reminder, Han Caiying immediately stopped expressing her gratitude, glanced around, and smiled apologetically, "Sorry, I got too excited... Um, we have a script reading during the day, how about after dinner?"

Ji Qingxu thought for a moment, then a bright smile appeared on her face. "Caiyingxi, are you familiar with the capital?"

Faced with Ji Qingxu's handsome smile, Han Caiying was stunned for a moment, then shyly smoothed her hair, "I'm not very familiar with this place, it's my first time here too."

"I have a suggestion. After our script readings each day, I'll take you for a stroll around Beijing, especially to the places where we filmed. We can chat as we walk, which might be more effective than simply reciting lines. What do you think?"

Upon hearing this suggestion, Han Chae-young covered her mouth in surprise, "Really? You can show me around the capital?"

"right."

"I...I'm willing...Wait a minute, Qing Xuxi, I need to ask our team leader. You know we're here on a unified mission. Could you wait a moment while I go ask our team leader?"

"How about this, do you have a cell phone? Let's exchange phone numbers, and you can just text or call me later."

"Yes, I have a cell phone. We specifically got your number here. My number is 135xxxxxxxx."

"Ring ring!"

"13891xxxxxx, is this your number?"

"right."

"Okay, I got it. I'll call you later."

"OK".

"Then I'll go first."

"it is good."

Seeing Han Chae-young walk outside happily, Ji Qingxu smiled and walked in another direction as well.

......

After the script reading ended in the afternoon, Han Chae-young came over and said to Ji Qingxu with a smile, "Qingxu Xi, let me treat you to dinner tonight. Thank you for showing me around the capital and helping me familiarize myself with the script."

Noticing the gossipy looks from the other Chinese actors around him, Ji Qingxu smiled and said, "Okay, do you want to go back and change your shoes?"

Upon hearing this suggestion, Han Chae-young looked down at her high heels, nodded, and said, "Then please wait for me a little longer, Qing Xuxi. I'll go back and change and come right away."

"OK."

"I'll contact you by phone later."

"it is good."

After Han Chae-young left the meeting room in high spirits, Pan Hong teased with a smile, "Qingxu, did this leading lady invite you to dinner?"

Ji Qingxu replied with a smile, "Yes."

Upon hearing this, the surrounding Chinese actors were stunned. Even Pan Hong was somewhat surprised. After looking at Ji Qingxu's appearance and figure, Pan Hong instantly understood, "Our Qingxu is really charming. He actually captivated the female lead in one go."

Ji Qingxu explained with a smile, "She said that she would be speaking Chinese the whole time during filming, and she's not very familiar with Chinese, so she asked me to help her with her lines. That's why she's planning to treat me to a meal to thank me."

Upon hearing this explanation, everyone suddenly understood. Pan Hong smiled and said, "Qingxu, would you like to hear my suggestion?"

"Aunt Pan, please speak."

"The dialogue is quite dry because she's definitely not very familiar with Chinese, so the effect might not be very good. I suggest that after each script reading session, you take her around Beijing to see the sights. This way, she can get familiar with Beijing while chatting in Chinese, which might be more effective."

Ji Qingxu smiled and gave a thumbs up, "Aunt Pan, that's a good suggestion. I'll tell her about it when I eat later, and I hope she won't misunderstand."

"Haha, she definitely won't misunderstand. Qingxu is handsome, she's more than happy about it."

Ji Qingxu said seriously, "Yes, I will definitely make her feel at home!"

Everyone burst into laughter upon hearing this.

"Let's go too, so we don't make Qingxu's date tonight too late."

Amidst everyone's teasing, they all walked outside together.

......

After everyone parted ways, Siqin Gaowa joked, "Aren't you afraid that the young lady will hold a grudge against you?"

Although Si Qingao didn't mention her name, Pan Hong understood immediately. She chuckled softly, "They're not related, so why are you complaining to me? Besides, once you're in our circle, you have to take the initiative to get what you want. Do you expect something to fall from the sky?"

Siqin Gaowa nodded in agreement, then chuckled and said, "You didn't do that on purpose, did you?"

Pan Hong smiled and shook her head. "I'm not that bored, but I do think something unexpected might happen."

"You mean that the Korean girl might fall for Qingxu? Hmm, that's possible. Being in a foreign country, suddenly meeting such a young and handsome peer, and spending time together day and night, you never know what might happen."

"Hey, I hope nothing bad happens. This girl will go back to her country after filming. Unless she gives up on her future, there's no hope for them."

"That's true. Well, they're both still young. Let's just consider it a beautiful journey in their lives."

"Hehe, that's what I think too."

......

"How do I look? Does this outfit suit me?"

When Han Chae-young asked him a question, Ji Qingxu carefully examined her outfit. She was wearing a white tank top that clearly revealed a beautiful figure, with a floral shirt over it, black hot pants, white sneakers, and a white baseball cap. Her height of about 170 cm made her look youthful and exuded a unique sexiness.

Ji Qingxu smiled and praised, "Very beautiful, Caiyingxi has a great figure."

Hearing Ji Qingxu's praise, Han Caiying happily said, "Thank you. Qingxu west is also very handsome and has a great physique. Qingxu Xi, I'm not very familiar with Beijing. I heard that the most famous food here is Peking duck. Shall I treat you to Peking duck?"

"Okay, Chae-young, I have a suggestion. Let's tour the capital like ordinary people do. What do you think?"

Han Chae-young nodded repeatedly upon hearing this, "Okay, that's excellent, I'll listen to you."
