Chapter 307

After everyone had eaten their fill, it was time for them to go back home. Before leaving, Qin Wei was still very reluctant to part with Sun Tiantian and hugged her tightly, "Tiantian, take good care of yourself, study hard when you get there, and tell me if you miss me..."

The two were reluctant to separate for a long time, with Sun Tiantian looking back every few steps as she walked to the car.

After seeing the girls off, only Qin Wei and Qiao Sixiao were left. Just a moment ago, it was still lively, but now it was suddenly quiet and felt particularly lonely.

Qiao Sixiao took the elevator up with her and said, "Alright, we've eaten and drank our fill. Let's go back and exercise for a bit before turning in early. You have a plane to catch tomorrow morning, right?" Yes, it was still this drama. Qin Wei had to go to Location E to film the grassland scenes.

The male lead, Su Yang, had an enormous number of scenes so he had to stay here and continue filming. Daniel was also nearly finished with his scenes here. As for Qiao Sixiao...

"Does your wrist still hurt?"

Qin Wei struggled for a long time before squeezing out this sentence.

Qiao Sixiao's response was blunt: "Why don't you try it out?"

Qin Wei felt guilty and said even more softly: "It really was me who hit you..."

Qiao Sixiao glanced at her and unconsciously rubbed his wrist without responding.

Qin Wei could only make small talk, "When are you coming?"

"I'm going to attend an event..."

Qiao Sixiao blurted out but then felt some regret -

Originally, Qin Wei was invited to this event as well and Li Yao's team had started coordinating too. But after the online clashes today with all the antis, cyber armies, and onlookers who were easily swayed, they began various boycotts of Qin Wei performing on stage.

With the show imminent, the organizers were also weary of dealing with it all. Afraid a perfectly fine event would be ruined and the efforts of so many people wasted, they could only cancel Qin Wei's performance at the last minute.

Not only that, everyone knew that the next few days would also be when she was attacked the most fiercely online.

Luckily she had this drama to film, being busy in the crew and cut off from the rest of the world for much of the time, she didn't have to deal with these vexing issues.

As for the masterminds behind the scenes...

There were too many - those jealous of Qin Wei's resources, marketing accounts fishing for traffic, existing antis, those who enjoyed watching a spectacle without considering the consequences, and those who were muddleheaded and easily incited...

These were all reasons. As for who was the first to make trouble, it wasn't really that important anymore. What was important was that they wanted to make trouble every day.

"Then go ahead and earn more money!"

Qin Wei continued cheering him on at the side.

Qiao Sixiao felt this topic made him irritated so he changed the subject, "I saw you earlier, secretly putting a bank card into Sun Tiantian's pocket. Do you still have money left to spend?"

Knowing that Sun Tiantian would be going abroad, Qin Wei had prepared this bank card for her in advance because she would be self-funded and the tuition, room and board, and living expenses were quite expensive.

She earned enough money, but Qin Wei still wanted her to have extra funds set aside just in case she needed it. Sun Tiantian didn't want to take her card so she secretly slipped it into her pocket instead.

Li Yao had left Qin Wei 100,000 RMB for living expenses - 50,000 was for a supermarket card with Mr. Xu, and 50,000 had just been given to Sun Tiantian. "Nothing left."

Qin Wei held out her empty hands.

"Professor Qiao, why don't you..."

Qiao Sixiao: "Let's head back and get some rest. You can have anything you want in your dreams."

That works too. It wasn't as if she was completely broke either. At Sun Tiantian's home, she had spent 500 RMB on groceries, shopping, and transportation. One day when Aunt Tang didn't have money with her and wanted to borrow 80 RMB from her to buy flowers to take home for an arrangement, Qin Wei felt it wasn't necessary to borrow such a small sum so she went ahead and bought the flowers for Aunt Tang first.

So there was still 4,920 RMB left. She didn't need to spend anything on food, lodging and transport with the crew so this would do for now!

...

The next morning, Qin Wei set off early for the airport. Originally the crew had booked her a first class ticket but Qin Wei said it was unnecessary for such a short flight and opted to switch to economy class instead. After all, she had taken those coach flights when participating in shows previously too. Other than not being able to fully stretch out her legs, it wasn't too uncomfortable.

But when she arrived at the airport, Li Yao still brought her to the VIP lounge.

"Li Yao, some of this unnecessary spending really doesn't need to be spent..."

"I'm the one footing the bill."

A woman wearing red-bottomed G strappy heels and a black G dress spoke as she stood up, still holding a glass of champagne in her hand.

She had exquisite makeup on her petite, palm-sized face and wore a pair of G sunglasses as well.

Looking at Qin Wei, she raised her glass,

"My woman cannot suffer the slightest grievance!"

Her tone was overbearing yet doting.

"Oh, if Miss Shen Qingqing is paying then I won't stint myself. Li Yao, get me a bowl of shredded chicken noodle soup, I'm hungry...

And help me grab a couple of drinks to put in my bag, get that bag of nuts and snacks packed up too. It'll be less convenient there and I can eat them when I get to the crew...

Oh right, see if there are any paid VIP services here? I want the full experience!"

Shen Qingqing pouted sulkily and sat down in a huff,

"The VIP lounge has free pet transport and you get a 10% discount if you buy a transport cage. Do you want that?!"

"Sure!"

Qin Wei took a sip of coffee.

"Li Yao, go buy a cage. I want to transport my Mimi!"

...

On the plane, first class cabin.

Two beautiful women sat side by side. One was exquisitely dressed and made up like she was on her way to a high society wine reception. The other wore a hoodie, track pants, and sneakers. She sat there bare-faced, wearing strawberry bear eye covers.

They were the only two in the entire VIP cabin.

Qin Wei: "zzzZZZ..."

Qin Wei: "(=_=)..." Qin Wei: "(??)??"

Qin Wei woke up and took off her eye covers. She turned to look at the woman beside her,

"Shen Qingqing, how did you get on board?!"

Shen Qingqing put down the glass in her hand and turned to face her expressionlessly,

"The plane was halfway through the flight when I suddenly couldn't bear to part with you. So I flew over myself, opened the cabin door, and sat down next to you."

Qin Wei: "I don't believe you."

She hesitated half a minute before asking again,

"Can money really let you do whatever you want nowadays?"

Shen Qingqing pouted,

"I told you I had nothing on recently so I came along with you! I already said that when you were reading your comic just now!"

Speaking of comics, Qin Wei only just remembered that she hadn't finished reading her comic yet. As she took out the book, she said to Shen Qingqing,

"Oh, I thought you only came to see me off."

"You actually thought I came all this way deliberately to fleece you!!!"

Shen Qingqing humphed angrily and turned to look out the window.

Qin Wei tilted her head and smiled at her,

"Tsk! Mainly because you're so dressed up, I thought you were on your way to attend an event and just happened to drop by to see me on the way there..."

Shen Qingqing's expression changed as she looked out the window, "I..."

When she turned her head, she saw that Qin Wei had already gone back to reading her comic. She called out as she read,

"But then I thought, the airport is in the suburbs. How far out of your way could you have gone just to come see me here unless something was wrong with you?" Qin Wei said as she looked Shen Qingqing up and down,

"But really, are you sure you want to dress like that to go to the filming location??"

...

After getting off the plane and driving several dozen kilometers, they arrived at the vast grasslands. Under the blue skies and white clouds, the green grass stretched as far as the eye could see and the open space put them in high spirits.

"Wow!"

When no one else was around, Qin Wei still frolicked around and ran a few laps here.

It was tiring work for Li Liang though, who had to follow her around holding an umbrella,

"Sis! Don't get sunburnt!"

"This is the azure-green grasslands! Qingqing Shen, this is your hometown! You can freely graze here to your heart's content!"

As Qin Wei ran, she would still call back to Shen Qingqing from time to time,

"Hurry it up!"

With an aggrieved expression on her face, Shen Qingqing walked unsteadily on the grassy terrain in her high heels and gown. Even the chauffeur holding the umbrella behind her shook his head helplessly.

After taking a phone call earlier, the young miss who was supposed to attend an event suddenly changed her mind and decided to go to the airport instead. Having left in a rush, her assistant and luggage could only arrive tomorrow.

He really didn't understand what the young miss was up to...
