Only after watching the person walk into the hotel did Xiao He and his group finally relax.
"Brother Xiao, they're going to the airport tomorrow morning. Should we go see them off?"
Xiao Chen turned to Xiao He and asked.
Xiao He thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay, I'll ask Lao Qi to drive and help deliver it tomorrow."
"good."
Old Qi readily agreed.
Xiao Chen, however, took the initiative to raise his hand and asked solicitously, "Brother Xiao, can I come along?"
Xiao He was surprised: "You want to go too?"
"Yes, Brother Xiao, I heard that. Their flight is early in the morning, and your filming is at noon tomorrow. After Brother Qi and I send them over, we can make it back in time and it won't affect your work here."
Clearly, Xiao Chen had already considered the situation.
"That doesn't matter. I can manage the crew on my own. You guys can come along."
Liu Rulan glanced at the assistant sitting in front of her, and seemed to have thought of something, a slight smile appearing on her lips.
It wasn't until Lao Qi took them back to the hotel and Xiao Chen went to check the room that Liu Rulan said to Xiao He, "Aren't you curious why Xiao Chen is going with us tomorrow?"
"Um?"
Xiao He looked bewildered: "Why?"
"I heard from Lao Qi that Xiao Chen has been working really hard lately, studying foreign languages every day."
Liu Rulan smiled and raised her chin: "When we were eating inside just now, it was Jemmis's bodyguards who were entertained by him and Lao Qi."
"So I guess the main reason this kid is going with us to see someone off tomorrow is that he wants to take this opportunity to practice his spoken English."
Liu Rulan's words greatly surprised Xiao He: "Huh? Really?"
Xiao Chen has been spending all his free time on his phone lately, but Xiao He assumed he was just binging on gossip online, so he didn't really pay attention. Little did he know, this brat was actually studying secretly!
"Hmm, his hearing is already very good, it's just that the environment isn't very suitable for practicing his spoken English. We'll give him more opportunities like this when he goes abroad."
Xiao He was surprised to hear this.
Who would have thought! Not long ago, Xiao Chen was just a newbie who only knew "yes" and "no". When she was abroad, she relied almost entirely on Xiao He as her translator. Moreover, she caused some minor misunderstandings because she couldn't understand the foreign language... But now, Xiao Chen is no longer the same as yesterday!
“You’ve been so busy lately, you wouldn’t know,” Liu Rulan glanced at Xiao He. “Since Xiao Chen returned to China with you, he’s been studying quietly. A while ago, when he was learning photography post-processing on his own, he even wanted to take an online course, but he almost got scammed. Luckily, Lao Qi found him some learning compressed files, which saved him from a disaster.”
Xiao He: ?
"Wait, wait, when did this happen? When did it occur? Why don't I know anything about it?"
Listening to Liu Rulan's words, Xiao He felt deeply isolated.
In the team, Lao Qi knew, Sister Liu knew, but he was the only one who didn't know!
When did they form a trio?
What about me? What about me?
"That's when you were busy fighting Qin Lezhang for three hundred rounds," Liu Rulan said.
Xiao He understood: "No wonder..."
To be honest, since returning to China, apart from spending a few days at home, Xiao He has been extremely busy. In particular, he only spoke a few words about things happening online with Liu Rulan and couldn't possibly tell Xiao Chen or Lao Qi. So when he's busy, he basically doesn't have time to chat with his assistant, let alone talk about his recent life.
When Xiao He learned that his assistant was also working hard to improve, he was surprised but also very pleased.
Xiao He's career is developing faster and faster. Before, it was limited to the domestic market, but now it has connected with the international market and has begun to contact major foreign directors.
As things develop further, Xiao He will definitely need more people to expand his team, and in the future, flying international routes everywhere may become the norm.
Xiao Chen, who doesn't speak foreign languages and doesn't have any particularly outstanding skills, is clearly falling behind Xiao He.
Liu Rulan initially wanted to arrange two other people for Xiao He, which was actually a way of replacing Xiao Chen.
However, Xiao He and Xiao Chen always got along very well. Xiao Chen was very clever and good at reading people's expressions. While becoming friends ➤ NоvеⅠight ➤ (Read more on our source) with Xiao He, she also knew how to maintain proper boundaries and would never cross Xiao He's lines.
Xiao Chen's "lucky charm" attribute is another matter entirely, but it certainly makes Xiao He envious.
Therefore, Xiao He felt that having a lucky guy around, even if he was just a lucky charm, was not bad, and he never thought of replacing Xiao Chen.
Now that Xiao Chen is able to improve herself and increase her competitiveness and value, Xiao He is truly happy.
Only when the team members can progress together with him can they go further and more steadily in the future.
"I'll have to give him a good compliment later."
Xiao He crossed his arms and said in a very joking manner.
"Not yet," Liu Rulan said, suppressing a laugh. "He's waiting to make a name for himself on his next trip abroad! If you expose him now, how will he present himself later?"
Xiao He choked.
"...Okay, okay, that works too. I'll look forward to it."
"Yes, don't worry, Xiao Chen is a very smart child."
Just as Xiao He and Liu Rulan were talking, Xiao Chen ran over and said, "Brother Xiao, Sister Liu, there's no problem, you can come in."
"OK, thanks."
Xiao He thanked him and, not wanting to spoil the mood, said, "Tomorrow's scenes are relatively easy. After you and Lao Qi go there, have lunch and then come over. There's no need to rush."
"Oh, okay, thank you, Brother Xiao."
Xiao Chen nodded.
Xiao He and Liu Rulan exchanged a glance, and then they all said goodnight and rested.
I slept without any dreams.
...
So when Xiao He woke up the next morning, Xiao Chen and Lao Qi had already gone to see the person off.
Xiao He didn't mind. After quickly washing up and eating breakfast, he went directly to the "Chasing the Wind" film crew to prepare for the noon shooting scenes.
The scene filmed at noon lasted until about 3 p.m. before the crew finally took a break and everyone went to have lunch.
At this time, Xiao Chen and Lao Qi also returned, and Xiao Chen had already prepared lunch in advance.
When Xiao He walked over, he saw Xiao Chen with a long face, complaining to Lao Qi about something. Lao Qi was also fiddling with the cigarette behind his ear from time to time. Although he didn't show it on his face, his behavior revealed his irritability. He would nod and agree with Xiao Chen from time to time.
Xiao He was somewhat puzzled.
He muttered in confusion, "What are these two up to?"
Wasn't everything fine when you went there?
Why are these two unhappy all of a sudden?
Could something have happened to Jamies?
He quickly walked over: "What's wrong? What happened?"
