Chapter 505 - Ji Palace?

When Yuan Lei read the article, her face turned red in anger. The response of the public wasn't the same as she was expecting.

Even though she won a newbie award last year, however, it's her first movie with such a known director and cast. Moreover, she is paired with Wu Sheng who is famous for his heart throbbing visuals.

Still, people were praising Xie Ming whose only name was mentioned in the article. Why were they talking about her this much, when she wasn't even the main lead?

Her manager who was also checking Weibo sighed, " Yuan Lei, you don't need to think about it much. I will get my people to publish more articles about you to increase the hype. I am sure it's just only for the time being."

Yuan Lei sighed and said, " Hmm. You can ask them to use my better pictures. The pictures used in this article are not good at all. See, the costume is so boring and so is the makeup. The pictures in the bikini would be perfect." 

"-_-"

The manager was speechless because Yuan Lei is shooting for the period movie and she wants to use bikini pictures? Really?

She shook her head as it's futile to argue with her.

" I'll talk to them and do what it seems fit."

…..

A month went by and Xie Ming has shot most of her scenes.

Now the only scenes left were with Yuan Lei.

Sigh.

Xie Ming was reading the book of western medicine which was given by Grandfather Su. He has started working in the Life hospital as the head of the Chinese department.

She has talked to him on the phone a few times and he has taught her many things about western medicine as it's new to her.

However, she didn't get to see him yet because she has been busy these days because of her constant shoots as everyone was trying to finish the shoot by the end of October as Mr. Han wants to release the film on the 5th of December, which is the date of his deceased brother's birthday.

Since it's a script by his brother, he wanted to release it on his birthday. It will be like a tribute to him and she also found it very meaningful.

That's why everyone is working hard to finish the shooting on time so that it can be released on the desired date.

It's already September and most of the scenes have already been shot. If things go right, they can release the movie on time.

….

Since she doesn't have any shoot today, so she was drinking her tea and was reading her books, when her phone rang.

It was Song Xiner.

" Xie Ming, Mr. Han wants to take everyone for a workshop. He said that for this outing everyone should be present. So get ready. We're going out." 

Xie Ming frowned hearing her words. She was planning to rest and study but seems like everyone was trying to stop her from doing that.

" Where are we going?" 

" I don't know. He didn't tell the specific location but Xu Lan said that it will help everyone to get to know our culture and history from this workshop. It will be very knowledgeable."

"Okay. Send me the address. I'll be there." Xie Ming hung up the phone and sighed.

She sent Liwei a message informing him that Mr. Han is taking everyone for an excursion. Though she doesn't know where it is, she will be back by evening. At least that's what she knows by now.

When she was getting ready, her phone started ringing. She picked it up without delay and before she could say anything, he spoke from the other side.

" Where are you going?" His tone was solemn and cold.

She pursed her lips and said in a low voice, " Erm...Xiner said she doesn't know either. She just sent me the text message saying that everyone is gathering at the shooting side, and from there we will go together. So I am not sure where we are going."

"-_-"

She felt a chill going through her spine when she didn't hear a word from the other side. Only cold silence.

She took a deep breath and said, " But... I promise I will be on time and will keep you updated. Don't worry. Also, I am taking my driver as well. "

She knows that he gets angry when she goes with people without knowing the destination.

Hearing her words, he sighed and said, " Then don't forget to send me the location as soon as you reach there. And keep me updated."

She just kept nodding while hearing his words. She forgot the fact that she is speaking over the phone with him.

" Yes. Yes. I will do everything just like you said."

….

After getting ready Xie Ming met with Song Xiner and others at the set. She saw Yuan Lei was there as well but they didn't talk much.

All the time Yuan Lei was giving her strange glances but she ignored her and chatted with others.

They all left for the venue in their cars and who didn't have a car had to adjust to others. They didn't hire any other car service and just used what they have.

Xu Lan, sat in their car because she didn't bring her car to work today. She was surprised to see Xie Ming's car because she is just a newbie and she not only has a car but a driver as well?

That's a luxury that not everyone can have. She wouldn't have reacted this way if she only had a car because these days, who doesn't have a car?

But a driver? Not everyone can afford to hire a driver. 

However, she didn't say anything as it's not a proper thing to do. Moreover, what does it have to do with her?

Xie Ming was pleased to see that Xu Lan didn't ask any questions. Xu Lan is not a noisy person like others, especially Yuan Lei.

….

Xie Ming frowned when they reached the corner of the city after the two hours' drive and the area became more secluded, less crowded.

This area and place...was somewhat familiar. 

When the car finally stopped at the desired location and they all alighted from the car, Xie Ming was stunned to see what's in front of her eyes.

"Ji Palace?"
