Chapter 198

Cheng Xi saw Mu Qiao, the female lead from the web drama.

"Sister Qiaoqiao, I didn't expect it to be you." Cheng Xi was extremely happy.

Two years ago, when Cheng Yue was interning with a famous director on set, she met Mu Qiao, who was the second female lead at the time; when Cheng Xi went to visit her sister on set, Mu Qiao didn't have any airs at all and even treated Cheng Xi to a meal.

Mu Qiao was beautiful, moving, and had a unique temperament; Cheng Xi had always thought Mu Qiao would become very famous, but she didn't expect that after that drama, Mu Qiao became briefly popular only to fade into the crowd, and the few times she appeared afterward were in television dramas playing roles like the third or fourth female lead.

"That's right, your sister asked me to play the female lead; you wouldn't look down on me for not being famous, would you?" Mu Qiao joked.

"How could that be? Sister Mu Qiao, it is my honor that you can act in this web drama," Cheng Xi said quickly, "I have always thought you are very beautiful, the prettiest actress I have ever met. Don't worry, I will definitely design the most suitable cheongsam for you, so the audience will know how beautiful you are and how good your figure is."

Mu Qiao smiled and said to Cheng Yue, "Your younger sister is still as sweet-talking as before."

Cheng Yue smiled, "Regardless, I really have to thank you this time; not only are you acting in it, but you only asked for a salary of one hundred per episode."

"One hundred per episode?" Cheng Xi was stunned, "This... is too little."

"Alright, I'm not acting in this drama for the salary; I'm doing it for the friendship with your sister, and because I believe in your sister," Mu Qiao said frankly, "I've read the book and understood the outline your sister is filming. I really like the plot, and since I've worked with Cheng Yue before, I know her talent and ability. Even if it doesn't become a hit, being able to film a conscientious, good drama won't be a waste of my status as an actress."

Cheng Yue smiled, "You are still the same as before, not changed at all."

"Do you... want to sit down first?" Lu Jing, who was holding a teapot to the side, spoke weakly, "I have poured tea for you."

The three of them then turned their gazes to the only man, Lu Jing.

Mu Qiao said, "Cheng Yue, this male lead you chose is quite good."

Lu Jing felt embarrassed from being stared at by them, "Sister Cheng Yue, look at your friend... one hundred yuan per episode, how about... I just take one hundred yuan too? Miss Mu is more famous than me, and I am still a newcomer..."

Cheng Xi felt that this Lu Jing was quite honest, but she heard Cheng Yue say, "Mu Qiao and I are friends; as for you, the agreed salary remains unchanged. Let's sit down and talk about some matters regarding the start of filming."

"Sister, let me measure the body dimensions for Sister Qiaoqiao and Lu Jing first," Cheng Xi suggested, "So I can design clothes for them."

Cheng Yue thought that costumes for filming were indeed the top priority, so she nodded and asked Mu Qiao and Lu Jing to stand up.

Cheng Xi measured Mu Qiao's dimensions first.

As an excellent fashion designer, she no longer needed a tailor's tape measure; her hands could basically measure Mu Qiao's waist, bust, and leg length.

When it was Lu Jing's turn, Cheng Xi moved closer, looked up at him, and sighed, "You are really tall."

Lu Jing asked rather embarrassedly, "Do you need me to bend down?"

"No need." Cheng Xi stood on her tiptoes, first using her fingers to measure his shoulders, then his waist.

When her fingers passed over his waist, she couldn't help but sigh again; he was worthy of being a model, this waist was simply sexily beyond words, especially since she was close enough to see the muscles under Lu Jing's white clothes.

This man's physique was absolutely top-notch.

With a "Bang," the private room door was kicked open.

Pei Yanzhou walked in, his gaze fixed on Cheng Xi.

Cheng Xi turned her head and happened to collide with Pei Yanzhou's gaze.

A gloomy, chilling murderous aura that could freeze a person rose in the man's eyes.

Cheng Xi was startled, only then remembering that her hand was still clinging to Lu Jing's waist, and the two of them were very close...
