Zhang Yuanqi laughed, “It’s just the company doing some publicity. I’m at home but because too many people are calling me, I switched my phone off. I borrowed a friend’s phone to call you, there’s something I need your help with. The movie that you are directing, isn’t it almost done? I heard that there are a few scenes that you need to reshoot? Do you need an actor? I would like to recommend someone, Zhang Ye. I don’t know if you know him, but he has a little bit of fame in Beijing.”
“Zhang Ye? The one who wrote a song for you, that Zhang Ye?” Director Jiang remembered, “I know who he is, I have some some impression. I think he’s really good at writing poetry?”
Zhang Yuanqi said, “Yes, you can give him a supporting role.”
Director Jiang hesitated and said, “I’m directing a wuxia movie, the roles… ”
“I still owe him one for that song, I don’t care whether it’s wuxia or not. You need to help me repay him this favor, Hur Hur. That’s settled then?” Zhang Yuanqi said laughingly.
Director Jiang laughed bitterly, “Alright then, since Sister Zhang has spoken, we will have some discussions first. When the time comes… ”
Zhang Yuanqi said, “Don’t wait until the time comes, I will ask him to report for filming tomorrow. That settles it, if you have another movie in the future, I will do a cameo role for you.”
“Haha, then that will be great. It’s done, settled!” Director Jiang did not have any complaints with that.
After hanging up, she threw the phone back to Zhang Ye who caught it. He immediately said, “Thanks, Sister Zhang.” He had not expected it to be done so quickly.
With the called ended, Zhang Yuanqi’s amicable expression had changed back to the usual cold-faced expression. She hugged her own shoulders before saying, “We need to find a way out by tonight. I have some activities in Hong Kong and Taiwan tomorrow, it’s an afternoon flight. I can’t cancel them!”
Zhang Ye wondered, “How do we leave?”
“You think of a way.” after saying, Zhang Yuanqi laid down and had her afternoon nap.
Zhang Ye also lay down to think, but as he cracked his brains, he fell asleep.
……
At night.
It was 1AM.
Zhang Ye wore his clothes properly and Zhang Yuanqi also wore her heels. The 2 of them had something to eat before Zhang Ye pulled the curtains aside to take a look outside. There were much fewer people now. The fans were almost all gone since they did not have the time to keep waiting aimlessly. The others left were those reporters with nothing to do, either from the television station or the newspapers. They had shifts of two or three people waiting there without moving. Some were hidden from view, like in the car or the staircase landings. They were holding on to their cameras and waiting patiently for things to happen.
Going out through the main entrance — impossible.
Zhang Ye breathed in deeply, “You wait for me here, I will go take a look.”
“What’s the plan?” Zhang Yuanqi asked.
“One step at a time.” Zhang Ye already had a plan, but he did not dare tell the Heavenly Queen. He was afraid that the Heavenly Queen would not take him seriously, so he went ahead to scout first.
To be safe, Zhang Ye waited for the Heavenly Queen to not pay attention before he took out a “Save Crystal” from the inventory of his game ring. 2 Save Crystals and 1 Lucky Bread. This was all inside Zhang Ye’s inventory. He had gotten them some time ago through the Lottery. Zhang Ye knew the importance of the matter, so he didn’t dare be careless. He crushed the Save crystal with his hands.
It took effect!

Zhang Ye pulled the door open and walked out without making a sound. It was already midnight. There was no one in the corridor so Zhang Ye relaxed his senses a little. He quickly walked towards the escape stairway as the elevator was definitely a no go. It was too enclosed and there were too many factors to consider. But just as he was approaching the escape stairway, the room beside it opened without a warning. The person who opened it was a middle-aged man holding a camera, there were still three or four youths in the room. They were obviously reporters!
Zhang Ye kept walking, he was numb. So, they had laid an ambush.
The middle-aged man had come out due to hearing a noise. He wanted to know who was passing by. These reporters had been waiting outside in the day, but at noon, many people had checked out. Naturally, they could get a room and gain entry into the building. He did not expect to see headline news the moment he opened the door. After a momentary shock, he found the person familiar. Then after some recollection, he got excited, “It’s Zhang Ye! Teacher Zhang, what are you doing here? Are you with the Heavenly Queen?”
He chased after him.
Zhang Ye kept going.
The man was busily taking photos. Kacha, kacha!
Upon hearing that, several other reporters who were in the room also realized that this was big news!
