Chapter 252
It was almost midnight, and chatting with Sun Tiantian felt effortless, so time flew by quickly.
Seeing that Qin Wei seemed tired, Sun Tiantian suggested ending the conversation, but Qin Wei stopped her.
"Help me buy some books and have them shipped to me. I can't buy them myself because Li Yao would find out, and I'm tired of his nagging."
Sun Tiantian agreed without hesitation:
"Send me the book list. You've piqued my curiosity. What kind of books are they? Buying a few books shouldn't hinder our child's progress... Oh, this book list is quite intriguing. I'll use a pseudonym for you."
The next morning, Qin Wei returned from her morning run and was informed by her assistant that she had a training session scheduled for the day.
After having breakfast, Qin Wei went to the meeting room on the same floor accompanied by her assistant and staff.
The tables and chairs were pushed to the side, and the room was filled with props simulating horses.
"Sorry, I'm late."
As soon as Qin Wei entered, someone followed closely behind. The voice sounded familiar, and when she turned her head, she was surprised to see a familiar face.
"Sheng Lin, you're here!"
Although she knew he was coming, seeing him in person still brought her joy. Qin Wei approached him and greeted him warmly.
Sheng Lin smiled, reserved as always, but this time, he spoke a little more since he was meeting an acquaintance:
"Hi, long time no see. I received the gift from Teacher Qin. The oranges were delicious, and everyone at our company praised them. And also, thank you for this time..."
The last time they met was when he and Li Hanming saved her and waited for her to wake up in the hospital.
Since then, they hadn't seen each other, and she heard that the company didn't think highly of him. His introverted personality made it difficult for him to shine in variety shows, but fortunately, he had good looks and was diligent, which gave him an advantage in acting.
Qin Wei couldn't think of any specific way to help him, but when she heard that he was also striving for a role in this drama, she secretly recommended him, and unexpectedly, he got the part.
Although he didn't explicitly say it now, she understood without further explanation. There was no need for many words; he knew who helped him.
"We're friends, no need to be so polite..."
"By the way, do you know what we're going to train today?"
Sheng Lin nodded and walked to the prop horse. He took hold of the reins with one hand and stepped on the stirrup with one foot, gracefully mounting the horse. Sitting on the horse's back, he said to her:
"Like the others, we'll train our posture, but the difference is that we'll do it on horseback.
I'll be the one teaching you today. I volunteered with the director. Don't worry, I'll give it my all."
His mounting and dismounting movements were smooth and handsome, even though it was just a prop at the moment. Qin Wei, who had some equestrian experience, could tell that Sheng Lin truly knew how to ride.
He assisted her in getting on the horse and then taught her some techniques, while also giving her tips on how to appear more impressive while on horseback.
After a brief training session, Sheng Lin let her practice on her own. Once she felt she had grasped it, Sheng Lin said to her:
"The prop team will bring the horses to the set in a few days, and then you can practice. Some of the techniques are hard to achieve for beginners, but once you master them, it's just a matter of proficiency."
Qin Wei took a deep breath, walked to the doorway, and hugged the child into her room. While comforting him, she asked,
"Who bullied you? Tell your sister. We may not be able to dominate the other groups, but we can still dominate Group A. Speak up, and I'll support you!"
Qin Wei's gentle reassurance made him even more upset. He grabbed onto Qin Wei's collar and leaned against her, crying loudly,
"Wu, wu, wu... I want to eat candy!"
Qin Wei hesitated and to make sure she didn't mishear, she asked again,
"Candy?"
"I really want to eat candy!"
"That's easy. Candy is available everywhere..."
Qin Wei searched the room, feeling a bit embarrassed as she looked at her assistant Li Liang, who was still standing by the door.
"Could you go buy a pack then?"
Li Liang shook his head.
"Li Yao just returned to the company and specifically told me not to let you have any snacks. Besides, Qiao Teacher also said..."
"Li Liang, is Qiao Teacher's team short-staffed?"
"?"
Qin Wei glanced at Hong Dou, whose emotions had calmed down a bit, and continued speaking.
"You listen to what she says, right? She wouldn't secretly give you a salary, would she?"
"Qin Jie, I'll go buy it now, but you must keep it a secret. If they find out, I'll lose my job..."
Half an hour passed.
Li Liang still hadn't returned, and Hong Dou was tearing up paper in frustration while Qin Wei boredly opened a package.
During this time, Qin Wei didn't dare to provoke Hong Dou at all. Even when he was tearing up property certificates, she didn't interfere, afraid of disrupting this peaceful tranquility.
Another five minutes passed.
Li Liang came back, empty-handed and looking hesitant.
"What about the candy?"
Li Liang pointed to Hong Dou, who was sitting in the corner.
"Their bodyguard took it away, saying that their young master shouldn't eat candy."
"Wahhh—"
Qin Wei exclaimed, "Ah!!! Hong Dou, you damn well tore up my script!"
