Soong Hua's acting skills were indeed not bad. After all, she was able to rise to the top in just a year, not only because of Ji Lingchuan's support, but more importantly, because of her strength.

Therefore, she passed almost all of them in one go.

By the time he finished the last shot, it was already half past three. Gu Xingbei walked up to Su Ruixue, sweating profusely, and noticed that Su Ruixue's face was a little pale.

"Are you suffering from... heatstroke?"

He reached out to touch her head.

Su Ruixue dodged to the side, avoiding Gu Xingbei's outstretched hand. She handed him the unscrewed water bottle: "I'm not that weak."

Gu Xingbei wiped his sweat, "It's good that you're not. The filming is over! We can call it a day and go back!"

Su Ruixue nodded and accompanied him back to the gathering point on foot.

A nanny car suddenly drove past them and stopped beside them. The window suddenly rolled down, revealing Soong Hua's bright face.

"Do you need me to drive you back?"

She looked at them with a hint of ridicule in her eyes.

Su Ruixue was about to refuse, but Gu Xingbei beat her to it: "No need!"

Soong Hua stared at him and the corner of her mouth curled up, "You guys are really shameless! I just wanted to give you a ride because I felt sorry for you two! But you guys don't know what's good for you!"

"Miss Soong, you don't have to give us face! After all, we don't want to be like you! " Gu Xingbei sarcastically retorted, "We don't need your sympathy! After all, there is a saying that one who is unaccountably solicitous is hiding evil intentions!"

The corner of Gu Xingbei's mouth curled up into a devilish smile.

"You refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit!" Soong Hua's expression turned ugly. She rolled up the window and ordered the driver to drive away immediately.

Su Ruixue and Gu Xingbei, on the other hand, were covered in exhaust fumes.

"What are you so proud of?" Gu Xingbei retracted his gaze and took the bag from Su Ruixue's hands.

"Hey, why do you look so pale?"

Su Ruixue shook her head, "I'm fine. Let's go."

She took the lead. For some reason, she had been retching for the past two days and could not eat anything. She had even lost a lot of weight. Perhaps it was because of the hot weather?

So she didn't have a good appetite.

When they returned to the gathering point, a few crew members were distributing cold drinks to everyone in the crew.

By the time they got to Gu Xingbei and Su Ruixue, they had already finished distributing them.

The staff member wearing a cap smiled at them and said, "I'm very sorry, this... This drink is not enough, so you won't get a share..."

Gu Xingbei waved his hand at him good-naturedly: "It's okay."

In the shed on the other side.

Zhi Ge looked at Gu Xingbei and Su Ruixue, who were sitting on the steps, and said, "Ah Yun, bring these two bottles of cold tea."

"Okay." Assistant Ah Yun quickly took the two bottles of iced tea and followed behind Zhi Ge.

Zhi Ge walked towards Gu Xingbei and Su Ruixue.

"Hello." She smiled and looked at Gu Xingbei with a gentle gaze.

Gu Xingbei raised his head and looked at her. Then, he quickly stood up and bowed to greet her, "Senior."

Zhi Ge signaled his assistant to pass the cold tea to Su Ruixue and Gu Xingbei.

Su Ruixue didn't take it. Instead, she looked at Zhi Ge in confusion. Zhi Ge said, "I gave this to you. Take it."

"Thank you very much, senior." Gu Xingbei took it and unscrewed one of the bottles, handing it to Su Ruixue.

"Is your name Gu Xingbei?" Zhi Ge looked at Gu Xingbei and asked.

Gu Xingbei nodded: "I am Gu Xingbei, the male supporting role in the play. Senior, please advise me."

"Don't call me senior, just call me Zhi Ge."

"Alright..." Gu Xingbei nodded: "Zhi Ge."

"I also have a scene with you, and I look forward to working with you." Zhi Ge reached out his hand to him.

Gu Xingbei hesitated for a few seconds before shaking her hand.

In a place they didn't notice, Soong Hua was watching their every move.

"Ms Hua, what do you think Zhige is planning?" The assistant asked.

Soong Hua retracted her gaze from them and slowly took a sip of honey grapefruit tea. "Do you think Zhi Ge can threaten me? With her speed of producing only two works a year, I can guarantee that her popularity will drop in less than a year! And I, Soong Hua, am the final winner!"

"And that little third-rate actor, Gu Xingbei! Don't even think about turning the tables!" Soong Hua gritted her teeth and said as she stared coldly at the bottles of iced drinks on the table.

She promised that as long as Gu Xingbei and Su Ruixue were on the set, she would make them suffer every day!

"Yes! They will never be able to compare to my Ms Hua! Only our Ms Hua is the best!" The assistant agreed with her.

Soong Hua curled her lips and sneered.

Zhi Ge and she were both A-list actresses, and Zhi Ge had been in the industry for many years and could only be her supporting actress. Soong Hua was extremely happy!

In the dressing room.

Zhi Ge had just finished filming and returned to the dressing room.

When she walked in, she saw Soong Hua sitting in her seat while her exclusive makeup artist was helping Soong Hua tidy up her hair.
