Chapter 424

Before eating, Qin Wei took out her phone, opened the video recording, and started shooting a short video of her lunch to complete today's homework——

[[@Middle-Aged Rich Merchant: Having a bite [Watch the video]]](https://example.com)

What she was shooting was her lunch today, but it was also her homework.

She had been shooting these kinds of videos the past few days, the flowers and plants she grew herself, the fish she raised, and the meals she ate.

Each one would get millions of likes and comments. Even her retired friends praised her for shooting well.

Comments——

[I, Lady Goose, eat well every day. Mom is very happy.]

[Baby, please keep up this frequency and stay in business every day!]

[Husband, can you let us see you?]

[I second that.]

...

Even her fans could feel her perfunctoriness...

Qin Wei casually looked at the comments with the most likes and started reflecting on this issue.

"Hurry up and eat. After eating, look at the script."

Seeing her staring at her phone, Qiao Sixiao assumed she was reading comics again and urged her.

"Oh..."

She temporarily stopped thinking about it. After Qin Wei finished eating, she sat on the sofa with the script, leaning on Wei Lai's shoulder to read it.

Wei Lai didn't say anything and let her lean on him, but after a while Qin Wei went further, resting her whole body on him.

Wei Lai gently pushed her, but she was absorbed in the script, a bit lost in it, and ignored him.

"Qin Wei, get up!"

The righteous onlooker couldn't stand watching anymore and directly shouted at her.

The innocent little Qin looked over, still blinking in slight confusion.

"Can you sit up straight? Don't you have bones? Where did you learn this bad habit of always leaning on others?"

Seeing she still didn't get up, Qiao Sixiao took matters into her own hands, pulled her up, and asked her at the same time:

"You don't pay attention to etiquette anymore? You just let yourself go like this. What if you get used to it in front of the camera someday? Think about whether it's appropriate?"

Qin Wei shook her head but was still trying hard to defend herself:

"My waist hurts."

Qiao Sixiao patted the back of the sofa for her to lean back on. "Then you shouldn't take too much advantage of others, okay?"

"Uncomfortable..."

"Then go back to your room and lie down. Lying down is the most comfortable."

"Also uncomfortable."

Qiao Sixiao pointed to the chair next to her, signaling Wei Lai to move over there, so he wouldn't feel embarrassed to refuse and keep suffering her idleness. After Wei Lai obediently moved over, everything was peaceful again with everyone reading their own scripts.

Only Qin Wei was alone and helpless, but there was nothing she could say.

...

The script reading meeting in the conference room that afternoon was much better than the morning. Yuan Director's scolding had worked well. No one was negligent that afternoon. They read the script in groups, discussing the lines, characters, and plot. The atmosphere had improved a lot.

Yuan Director was very satisfied. He took advantage of Qin Wei's high status and good temper to make an example of her to make everyone behave themselves and obediently cooperate with the shooting.

As for this favor, he would definitely pay it back later.

The script reading activity continued until 9 pm before ending. The crew had booked the entire floor with accommodations available for artists who needed them.

Wei Lai and Su Yang were going to stay because they had to come back early the next morning. They were used to crew life, always staying in hotels, so it didn't matter where they stayed. Qiao Sixiao thought so too—it was just for sleeping, anywhere was fine.

But Qin Wei disagreed.

"I don't care. I'm going home to sleep. Take care, you guys."

Qin Wei didn't bring anything extra, just grabbed her bag and wanted to go home.

Li Liang could only silently follow.

"Okay, Xiao Li. I'll go back too. You don't need to follow her."

As roommates, she was a little worried, so Qiao Sixiao asked Xiao Wang for the car keys and went with her.

Sitting in her roommate's sports car, Qin Wei started complaining again that the seat was too low and uncomfortable, grumbling unhappily the whole time.

"Or I could take you to the hospital to get checked out. Is it because you're too tired these days? Or did you get hurt?"

Qiao Sixiao drove while seeing her so uncomfortable, so she asked.

"I didn't get hurt. I'm just too tired lately. Tonight I want to take a hot bath and then rest well."

The main reason was that the mattress in that hotel room was too soft. Taking a nap that afternoon made her even more uncomfortable, but she didn't want to say it and make others think she was the pickiest one in the crew.

"Do you have a sleeping habit? Can't sleep after changing beds?"

Her roommate suddenly asked. Qin Wei was stunned and turned to look at her:

"How did you know?"

Qiao Sixiao casually answered:

"Guessed."

I changed your bed to a more expensive mattress while you were away. Of course it's not as comfortable sleeping anywhere as sleeping in your own bed...

...

Back home, after a bath, lying on the balcony lounger felt much more comfortable at last. Drinking lemon red tea leisurely felt like real life again unlike the past few days of busy work.

She then took out her phone again to watch her classmates' homework. Maybe because they had just started, most people's short videos were cold and deserted without many views, but you could see many were making an effort with their videos.

There were editing masters like Ye Jiahe utilizing all kinds of online materials to edit into stories,

as well as performing their own skills like musical instruments or dances,

or doing silly jokes and sharing interesting things from their mundane daily lives.

In short, everyone was exploring but working very hard.

In contrast, look at her own work.

Qin Wei looked through the short videos she had shot. Apart from the first one with Shen Kai and Su Yang which she had shot and edited carefully, the rest were casual shares of her ordinary life that even she found bland upon watching them herself.

It could be said that apart from the first one, if anyone else had posted those other videos online, perhaps no one would have even watched them.

What those people were watching wasn't her videos but her reputation. Riding on her fame, no matter how casual her videos were, there would still be people watching them...

"Pour me a glass of water too."

Her roommate came out after her bath wearing a bathrobe and sat next to her, drying her hair while asking her,

"What are you watching?"

"Watching the short videos I shot."

Qin Wei showed her the phone,

"Or it should be said, trash."

She threw her phone to her roommate, then got up,

"I'll go get the hair dryer and blow dry your hair."

Taking advantage of this time, Qiao Sixiao flipped through the short videos she had filmed. When she came back, Qiao Sixiao looked up at her and said:

"They're pretty cute. I want to like them after watching too."

Qin Wei smiled wryly:

"There are some things I don't know how to say, but I can show you."

As Qin Wei spoke, she picked up her phone and shot a short video, then posted it online.

For some people it was as if they lived on a certain app—as soon as Qin Wei posted a new video, it immediately attracted many people to like and comment——

[Baby, good work. Have a nice red tea break.]

[Mommy loves you. Take good care of yourself.]

[I also want the couple's matching cup~]

...

In one minute, over 50,000 likes and comments were all praising and comforting her.

Then see what she had shot.

It was a 5 second short video simply showing the cup on the table, nothing else, without even a single word in the caption.

It already had over 100,000 likes and comments.

Qiao Sixiao hesitated for a moment then laughed with her.
