Chapter 245 Return to Hengdian (Ch 245)

The two set out at 8 o’clock and found the i8 that BMW gave him in the parking lot downstairs of the apartment building.

As one of BMW’s most beautiful models, the i8 has a smooth silver-gray body.

Lying quietly in the parking space, it looks like a beautiful work of art.

This was the first time Qi Jia had seen it after the cards were put on, and he had to admit that it was indeed very beautiful.

The only downside is that the trunk is too small to even fit a suitcase, so I had to put some of the gifts on the back seat.

After fastening their seat belts, the two set off.

Shanghai is more than 300 kilometers away from Hengdian, which takes about three and a half hours.

At about 11:40 in the morning, the two finally arrived at Hengdian World Studios and saw the antique city gate of the studio from afar.

Qi Jia was very excited at the thought of finally being able to see Sister Qiu and the others.

“This is Hengdian. The city gate is really big and has many people.

If we don’t have any more movies to shoot in the future, we can open a snack stand here and make a lot of money, right?”

Zhang Ruonan put down her phone and looked at everything outside the window through the car window, her eyes filled with curiosity and nervousness.

“An ugly daughter-in-law will eventually have to meet her parents-in-law. Don’t be nervous. Start practicing by meeting Sister Qiu.”

Seeing her talking nonsense, Qi Jia knew that she must be getting nervous. He smiled, turned the steering wheel to the left and said jokingly,

“You’re ugly!”

Zhang Ruonan was so angry that she laughed. She glared at him but didn’t do anything, for fear of affecting his driving. When she saw the car turning into a village road, she looked around curiously.

“Is this coming soon?”

Qi Jia kept his eyes on the front, pointed to the intersection not far away and said,

“Just past that intersection.”

As they were talking, they had already arrived. Qi Jia looked at the familiar old building in front of him, and a feeling of excitement surged in his heart.

“We’re here, get ready to get off.”

After parking the car in an empty space next to the corridor entrance, Qi Jia looked at Zhang Ruonan who looked nervous and said.

Outside the car,

The owner of a nearby convenience store saw this beautiful sports car stop opposite and said to the extras who were sitting on the benches watching TV,

“Wow, this car is so beautiful. Guess which girl is being kept this time?”

Several extras turned around at the same time, all with envious and jealous expressions on their faces.

At this time, they saw two people of the same age, a boy and a girl, getting off the car. Although both of them were covered up,

But it is obvious that the woman has a good figure, and if she can sit in the passenger seat of such a luxury car, she must be good-looking.

This further aroused the hatred of the rich in the hearts of several people. One of them spit out the betel nut that had been chewed into residue on the ground and cursed in a low voice,

“Bah, it’s so fucking good to be rich. When I become a big star, I will buy a sports car like this and have girls drive me around every day.”

Upon hearing this, the boss looked at him with some contempt, thinking, you just bought the betel nut on credit from me.

What Hengdian lacks the least is “loud talkers” who have no real skills but are unwilling to take on roles honestly.

He squats downstairs all day. If you ask him to go to the square to perform, he will curse the director as an idiot and the group leader as unscrupulous and he doesn’t want to go.

When I see a beautiful girl passing by, I stare at her intently, hoping I can still dream about her tonight.

“Brother Hao is right. When we become big stars like Qi Jia, we will buy one too.”

Another young extra who had obviously just arrived recently complimented him.

The extra who was called Brother Hao shook his hair proudly and pointed at Xiaolou with a hint of pretentiousness in his tone.

“Qi Jia is just like that. When he first came here, he lived on the second floor.

He doesn’t know anything. If it weren’t for the fact that he called me Brother Hao, I would have taken him to take the role.

He can’t even get a role, let alone become a big star now.”

Seeing that several young people were fooled by him and believed him, the convenience store owner couldn’t stand it anymore and started to tease,

“In that case, Qi Jia has become rich now, but he has never said anything to repay you?”

Maybe Brother Hao was used to pretending, and he had already thought of an excuse in his mind. He waved his hand and said,

“I helped him out of kindness, not for anything else. I’m not bragging. He came back to me a while ago.

He said he wanted me to star in “I’ll Wait for You at the End of Time” with him and let me play his father.

I thought to myself, this is not going to work, our ages don’t match, and I don’t want to trouble him, I still have to rely on myself, so I decisively refused.

He had no choice but to give me money in the end. I refused, but I couldn’t refuse anymore, so I took a pack of cigarettes from him.”

“This idiot is also your friend? You still want him to play your dad?”

Zhang Ruonan was holding a gift in her hand, standing beside the car, winking at Qi Jia and whispering,

Qi Jia glanced at Brother Hao, who was talking so spitting, and felt a little amused.

“I can’t call him a friend, but I do know him. He still owes me twenty dollars.”

Zhang Ruonan raised the corners of her mouth under the mask, her eyes flashed with eagerness, and she whispered,

“What are you waiting for? Go ask him for it. It’s twenty yuan, enough for a bowl of river snail rice noodle and a fried egg.”

The two of them went upstairs talking and laughing in low voices. The people behind them were a little confused when they saw them, wondering when a rich person came to live in this shabby building?

The convenience store owner joked to Brother Hao,

“Hey Haozi, Qi Jia is back to see you, why don’t you go quickly, hahaha.”

…

In the corridor on the second floor, Qi Jia pointed at the door of his original room and said to Zhang Ruonan with a sigh,

“This is the room I lived in before. I don’t know who I rented it to now.”

Then he pointed to the door opposite: “This is Sister Qiu’s room. She probably hasn’t gotten up yet.”

After saying that, he reached out and knocked hard on the door. Bang, bang, bang, the knocking sound rang out in the quiet corridor.

After a while, no one opened the door, so Qi Jia put his ear to the door and listened, but there was no movement from inside.

“Why don’t you make a phone call? It would be bad if you disturb others by knocking like this.” Zhang Ruonan said.

“I guess he drank too much again last night and wanted to give her a surprise.”

Qi Jia nodded helplessly, took out his phone and found Sister Qiu’s WeChat.

Only then did I realize that she didn’t reply to the message I sent her last time, and I had a bad feeling in my heart.

“There seems to be no one inside, and I can’t hear the phone ringing. Could Sister Qiu be out filming?”

The phone rang for a long time. Zhang Ruonan put his ear to the door and listened carefully. Then he looked at Qi Jia and said,

Qi Jia nodded: “It’s possible. I’ll call a group leader who has a good relationship with Sister Qiu and ask.”

Then he made another call.

This time the call was connected quickly, and an excited voice came from the other end, with a tone of incredible excitement.

“Qi Jia? I didn’t expect that I would receive a call from you.”

“Brother Hai, I’m back in Hengdian, and I wanted to meet everyone. Are you free tonight? Let’s have dinner together.”

Qi Jia did not directly ask where Sister Qiu had gone, but first made some contact with her, and after making an appointment to treat her to dinner tonight, he asked,

“By the way, Brother Hai, do you know where Sister Qiu is? I called her, but she didn’t answer.”

After he finished speaking, there was silence on the other end. Just when Qi Jia thought the signal was bad and wanted to call hello,

There was a sigh from the other end of the phone, and then Brother Hai said,

“Are you at her door? Yan Qiu isn’t doing well right now.”
