Chapter 52 Dilraba, charging forward for love!

Night falls!

After the director called it a wrap, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and returned to the hotel covered in sweat.

Although the incident at noon did not affect the afternoon filming, a subtle low pressure always permeated the set.

Everyone chose to remain silent.

Xu Lang's "milk tea diplomacy" prevented him from being harassed by the rest of the crew because of Zheng Shuang.

However, as Zheng Shuang is one of the most popular celebrities at the time, the crew members were unwilling to offend him.

So everyone tacitly pretended that nothing had happened and went about their business.

The director team's strategy was to quickly finish filming Xu Lang's scenes so that he could leave the crew "smoothly" and avoid any further conflicts.

Xu Lang obeyed the director's instructions, but he also had to take action.

The sun sets in the west!

After quickly washing up at the hotel where the film crew was staying, Xu Lang changed his clothes and headed straight for the more upscale star-rated hotel next door—the accommodations arranged for the leading actors who were considered celebrities.

I ran into Qiao Zhenyu in the hotel lobby.

"Xu Lang, what brings you here?" Qiao Zhenyu greeted him with a smile.

Only actors of a certain caliber are qualified to stay at this hotel, and Qiao Zhenyu is one of them.

He was a little surprised to see Xu Lang, so he went up to him, offered him a cigarette, and asked him casually.

Xu Lang took it, lit it for the other person first, and then took a puff from the flame in his own hand. The smoke blurred his slightly furrowed brows.

"There was some trouble at noon, so I've come to talk to Zheng Shuang!"

Qiao Zhenyu suddenly realized, and remained silent for a moment:

"This woman is a bit neurotic. What's going on between you two?"

Xu Lang hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.

This matter involves another person, one is a top male celebrity, and the other is a future top celebrity in Xinjiang Province. I think I'll just let it go.

"It's alright, I'll go talk to them!"

Seeing his predicament, Qiao Zhenyu didn't press him for details, but he could tell from his expression that he was being suppressed by Zheng Shuang.

It's both painful and frustrating!

Take care. Call me anytime if anything happens.

"OK!"

The two separated.

Xu Lang headed straight for the elevator; Qiao Zhenyu, on the other hand, went in another direction to see the director.

Qiao Zhenyu arrived at a door and knocked.

The executive director opened the door, looking inside where all the directors and producers were.

"Teacher Zhenyu, come in quickly!"

The executive director greeted us warmly.

Qiao Zhenyu looked at everyone, maintaining a smile on his lips:

"Everyone, I ran into Xu Lang when I first arrived. He said he was going to talk to Zheng Shuang!"

In an instant!

The faces of everyone in the room froze, and they fell silent instantly.

Although the afternoon's turmoil didn't come to the forefront, it remained a thorn in my side. I never expected that Xu Lang would actually come to talk to Zheng Shuang, as he had said he would.

Producer Deng Xibin was the first to react, looking at Director Liang:

"A newcomer with no background trying to negotiate with the current top stars—the outcome of this negotiation was known from the start; Xu Lang is just humiliating himself."

An assistant director nearby chimed in, "And, it's all wishful thinking!"

"No, I have to go—"

"Reba, don't go!" Director Liang Shengquan grabbed her and said:

"You're a newcomer too. What good would it do you go? Before Teacher Yang Mi left, he specifically asked me to take care of you. I can't let you get involved in this kind of trouble."

"From my experience getting to know Zheng Shuang, he has acting skills, but he's a bit neurotic, easily angered, and extremely emotionally unstable. He acts without considering the consequences. If you get involved with him, your acting career could be ruined."

Although Dilraba is still young, she has a highly recognizable appearance, is a graduate of the prestigious Shanghai Theatre Academy, and is personally mentored by top star Yang Mi. Her future prospects are limitless.

Don't ruin your future because of a moment of impulse!

He knew that Dilraba had feelings for Xu Lang, but he didn't want her to get involved in this mess.

"Director Liang, then I should go even more!" Dilraba was anxious and wanted to break free.

Her affection for Xu Lang was obvious to everyone in the crew; if she backed down now, even she herself would despise herself.

A large hand blocked her way; it was Deng Xibin!

Deng Xibin is a senior executive in the company and one of Reba's leaders. He has a serious and authoritative expression.

"Dilraba, I know you like Xu Lang, but you two haven't officially established a relationship yet. You can leave at any time. If you really get involved in trouble that could ruin you because of Xu Lang, then you can expect to be terminated!"

The words contained warnings, threats, but mostly dissuasion!

Yang Mi has high hopes for Dilraba, and even told the higher-ups that she would definitely help Dilraba reach the top tier.

Dilraba is a very smart child, intelligent and opinionated, but she shouldn't act on impulse in this matter.

Dilraba bit her lower lip and remained silent for two seconds.

Suddenly, a completely different aura emanated from her—she was no longer the obedient kitten who usually clung to Xu Lang's side; her eyes were sharp and firm, revealing a bit of the strong and decisive nature of a leading lady like Yang Mi.

"Boss, whether it's troublesome or a contract termination, I have to go."

She forcefully pushed Deng Xibin's hand away and walked out of the house.

Everyone was a little dazed!

By the time everyone realized what was happening, Dilraba had already left the room.

"Sigh, this is truly the age for charging headlong into love!" Deng Xibin sighed, wanting to chase after him.

Qiao Zhenyu stepped in front of him first, volunteering to help:

"Producer Deng, should I go take a look?"

Although Deng Xibin said some harsh words, Dilraba is ultimately one of their own artists, and they can't just stand by and watch her be ruined.

"Alright, you're all young, so it's easier to talk to you. Remember, don't make a big deal out of it."

"clear!"

Qiao Zhenyu chased after Dilraba.

The two went straight to the floor where Zheng Shuang's room was located.

Dilraba's face showed a mixture of worry and anxiety, while Qiao Zhenyu remained relatively calm, whispering instructions as they walked:

"Reba, once we get there, watch my eyes and don't act impulsively. I'm on your side."

Upon arriving at Zheng Shuang's door, Reba eagerly rang the doorbell, but no one answered for a long time.

clap clap-

In her haste, Reba pounded on the door and even kicked it, the sudden noise echoing through the empty corridor.

Just then!

The hotel cleaning lady rushed over upon hearing the commotion, staring at the two of them strangely.

"There's no one inside, what are you doing?"

Qiao Zhenyu pulled Reba's hand that was banging on the door and looked at the cleaning lady:

"Nobody's inside? Where did everyone go?"

The cleaning lady waved her hand: "How would I know where she went? But I just finished cleaning the room and the girl who lives there has already left."

"He's gone out..." Qiao Zhenyu looked at Dilraba, frowned, took out his phone, opened the photo album, and pointed to a picture:

"Auntie, have you seen this person before? Has he been here before?"

The cleaning lady glanced at it and shook her head: "Never seen it before!"

Dilraba took out her phone and called Xu Lang. The phone rang, but was quickly hung up. She called again, but the phone kept ringing and no one answered.

Qiao Zhenyu tried calling with his own phone, but it kept ringing and no one answered.

The two exchanged a glance, their eyes reflecting the same unease and solemnity.
