Chapter 114 Bixiao Restaurant
"Director Li, can you please take a photo with us as a souvenir?"
"Oh, sure, that's no problem."
Li Qing forced himself to take his gaze away from the food and responded to several younger crew members with a smile.
"Thank you, I'm so excited, this is my first shoot."
The young man looked a little excited, an excitement that he couldn't hide even though he had just been sent to the police station and then to the hospital not long ago.
Well, Li Qing thought that this must have been due to the hush money paid by Chu Qingcheng.
"eggplant!"
Li Qing used his usual scissors hand gesture and took a normal photo.
Then, Li Qing felt that the young man in the photo looked familiar and asked tentatively.
"Your name is... Zheng, right?"
"Yes, Director Li has a really good memory." The young man named Zheng smiled shyly, happy that the elusive assistant director in the crew still remembered his name. "My name is Zheng Yuanguang, and I'm still a student. If Director Li has more work in the future, I will definitely continue to follow you."
Zheng Yuanguang has worked in several film crews, but he feels most comfortable in the crew of "Blind Heart", where the pay is high and the work is not troublesome.
The director and deputy director also knew about filming, and the props were all new or complete. The lunch boxes were also ordered from the hotel. The leading actor at most got one more chicken leg than the extras, but everyone else was new. It was too normal.
The most important thing is that the money is high and there is no delay at all!!!
Nowadays, even such a normal crew needs to be cherished. Zheng Yuanguang is considering how to turn this temporary meal ticket into a long-term meal ticket.
"Ahaha, of course." Li Qing responded with a smile. Next time...who knows how many years it will be.
After waving goodbye to Zheng Yuanguang, Li Qing looked at the food again.
I was shocked by Chu Qingcheng again. Could this be what she meant by just eating at home?
The hotel's lobby is magnificent, with sparkling crystal chandeliers casting soft light, illuminating the marble floor and refracting a brilliant luster. The gorgeous murals appear more lifelike under the lights, adding an artistic atmosphere to the entire space.
The waiters in neat uniforms were busy shuttling between the guests, smiling and well-mannered. The hotel's restaurant was filled with a variety of delicious food, the aroma was exuding, and it made people salivate.
Bixiao Restaurant - the top-notch hotel in Shancheng and also a famous landmark building in Shancheng. It contains a game room, a dance hall, a swimming pool, and a KTV. As long as you have money, you can enjoy a home-like place. It is a hotel that combines large-scale entertainment facilities and a restaurant. Its ability to swallow money is terrifying!
Every time Li Qing walked in to eat, he had to consider whether his wealth was enough to pay for the meal. But now he directly took over one of the floors to hold the wrap-up banquet for "Blind Heart". This is no longer a luxury, it is against the will of heaven.
However, after knowing that the owner behind Bixiao Restaurant was surnamed Chu, Li Qing began to eat and drink with peace of mind.
Anyone who can easily come up with two million to invest in a movie must be from a wealthy family.
Li Qing pretended not to know about the secret observation, tried his best to ignore the way Lin Xiaoyu looked at the sinner, and pretended to be unaware of everything.
The other members of the crew could be fooled, but it would be a bit difficult to deal with Lin Xiaoyu who knew a lot about Li Qing’s arrangements.
Whether it was the video footage that provided a lot of help to the police, the sudden phone call asking them to leave, or the Wuling convoy that caught up and prepared to take them back... Li Qing looked like he knew something.
Now, dozens of days have passed since that night in Yucun. Because of the missing case and other issues, all the crew members of "Blind Heart" were detained for investigation. They were released after a few days of rigorous investigation and ordered to keep their mouths shut. They were also restricted from leaving the vicinity of the mountain city easily.
Chu Qingcheng, in the name of the crew's investor, privately gave the crew members compensatory hush money. A two-pronged approach, one stick and one carrot.
Anyone with a bit of intelligence would not reveal it, and if they dare to reveal it, they would be putting themselves on the side of [Chimera] in disguise - that would be like holding a lantern in the toilet - seeking death!
Then they sealed off Yu Village, restricted entry and exit to Min Town, and strictly prohibited media reporting - a death order was issued.
At the same time, several celebrities have been exposed in shocking scandals in the past few days, but in short, there has not been even a little bit of groundless media coverage.
At least there is no way the news would leak out before ensuring that all the remaining Chimera members are captured.
This is roughly what Li Qing knew, and there is no more.
On the surface, he was just an ordinary person, and he happened to get lost there, so he had no right to know anything more. However, Chu Qingcheng did reveal some things to him.
By the way, because Chu Qingcheng was the target of [Chimera] and had a special identity, she left under the guidance of a man who looked somewhat similar to her and returned to the mountain city overnight. Li Qing also lost contact with her for a while.
It should... be nothing serious, Li Qing thought.
At the same time, his eyes unconsciously wandered around, trying to find Chu Qingcheng's trace.
After one night in Yucun, Li Qing never really saw her again. At most they contacted each other by phone, and he knew that there was nothing serious.
This belated wrap-up party was also her idea. Given Li Qing's personality, she would not have planned to hold it even if such a big thing had not happened. Many members were also frightened by guns and politely declined the invitation.
so horrible!
Who knows if someone will point a gun at their heads at the banquet and force them to hand over all the money they have - they will be scared to the point of having paranoia.
I don’t know if the movie will be released by then…
How is the police's follow-up investigation into Chimera going? Can they find the missing people?
Just as Li Qing was worrying about the future, on the top floor of Bixiao Restaurant, in the presidential suite reserved specifically for the Chu family, the Chu Qingcheng that Li Qing was looking for was located there.
The bedroom design of the suite is extremely luxurious. A huge velvet bed made of the finest silk material with a smooth touch occupies the center of the room. Precious oil paintings are hung on the wall at the head of the bed, adding a touch of artistic atmosphere.
"Okay, thank you for your help." Chu Qingcheng held the phone and whispered, "And please tell Sister Yan for me - thank you, I'm fine, I'm fine now, please have a good rest."
"Yes, yes, yes."
Soon, the call was hung up and Chu Qingcheng breathed a sigh of relief.
Then, the whole person seemed to lose all strength, slowly leaning backwards, and falling accurately into the soft big bed. The elasticity of the mattress perfectly supported the body, bringing a light feeling as if floating in the clouds.
All the muscles in my body are completely relaxed at this moment, and every cell is immersed in comfort and pleasure.
“It’s comfortable~”
