3259 You Guys Are Just Friends
"Hide! Hide!" Hao Donghuai hastily warned Yuan Jiangyi.
They saw that Wei Wucai had already stepped in front of Yan Zhiqing and Chen Zeqing.
And so, the two chose another place that could act as camouflage.
There happened to be some props piled up on the ground in front of them.
The pile of things was as tall as half a human.
Yuan Jiangyi and Hao Donghuai then stooped down and hid behind the pile of props.
They looked up and secretly stared at Wei Wucai, revealing only their eyes.
Wei Wucai had just walked over.
He heard Chen Zeqing ask Yan Zhiqing, "Zhiqing, what are you eating for lunch?"
"What do you mean?" Yan Zhiqing was a little confused by Chen Zeqing's question. And so, she asked, "Qiaohan is going to order food delivery."
"Where are you eating? Let's eat together during lunch," Chen Zeqing hastily said.
Yan Zhiqing smiled and said, "Sure. So many of us eat together during lunch. You can join too. The more the merrier."
"Many people?" Chen Zeqing's smile froze.
Yan Zhiqing didn't think much of it as she nodded and said, "Yeah."
"But I need your advice on so many things in this film production." Chen Zeqing suddenly whispered, "How about… you ask Qiaohan not to order your food delivery for lunch?"
He added with a smile, "I will buy you lunch."
Yan Zhiqing obviously wouldn't agree to this.
However, before Yan Zhiqing could say anything, Wei Wucai could no longer tolerate it and he stepped forward.
"Buy her lunch? Where are you going? Do you mind an extra person?" Wei Wucai said coldly.
His voice didn't sound friendly.
By the tone of his voice, it was obvious that Wei Wucai did not ask to join with friendly intent.
It sounded like he was just here to mess things up.
Of course, Chen Zeqing didn't want Wei Wucai to come along.
Chen Zeqing knew who Wei Wucai was.
After all, Wei Wucai was in a scandal with Yan Zhiqing!
Yan Zhiqing had no idea that Chen Zeqing had been paying close attention to her.
Ever since Chen Zeqing found out that he would be working with Yan Zhiqing in the same cast crew, he had been preparing.
He wanted to use the limited amount of time he had with this crew to get Yan Zhiqing to be his girlfriend.
He wanted to try his best to court her.
Even if it would be difficult, he would try for it.
If he couldn't get her to be his girlfriend, he would try to be better friends with Yan Zhiqing.
With much ambition, Chen Zeqing had made his plan and set up his goal.
He didn't actually hold any malicious intent towards Yan Zhiqing.
After all, the two never really had the chance to interact.
This was just a rare chance. There were many with ulterior motives when interacting with Yan Zhiqing.
Not only had they been doing it for Yan Zhiqing, but they were also doing it for the benefits that she could give them.
All these things attracted Chen Zeqing's attention.
Chen Zeqing obviously had such thoughts and wanted to seize his chance.
And so, since he had such thoughts, he started paying attention to Yan Zhiqing.
He saw the scandal between Yan Zhiqing and Wei Wucai.
Chen Zeqing then secretly went to ask around.
He was scared that Yan Zhiqing would become someone else's girlfriend before he even had the chance to make his move.
That would be so unfair!
That would be really unlucky for him.
Thankfully, after he had asked around, he didn't receive any news of Yan Zhiqing being in a relationship.
He even asked the staff members that worked in Yan Zhiqing's agency.
The staff member had no idea either.
Chen Zeqing then felt a sense of relief.
However, he realized that he needed to move faster and work harder.
And so, on the first day of his arrival on set, he urgently set out to butter up Yan Zhiqing.
Maybe he was moving a little too fast. However, he had no choice!
Wei Wucai had joined the crew much earlier than him!
And now, the moment Chen Zeqing invited Yan Zhiqing for lunch, Wei Wucai appeared.
His attitude was very bad.
It was so obvious. Chen Zeqing could tell that…
Wei Wucai had similar intentions towards Yan Zhiqing!
Chen Zeqing immediately felt a sense of urgency.
Chen Zeqing gave a cold smile as he asked Wei Wucai, "You are?"
Even if he knew who Wei Wucai was, he still asked.
Wei Wucai stood there while Chen Zeqing remained seated.
In terms of height, Wei Wucai had an advantage.
From a superior point of view, he looked down at Chen Zeqing.
Wei Wucai's prideful attitude made Chen Zeqing furious.
It was especially because Wei Wucai didn't seem pretentious at all when he was showing such a prideful attitude.
It was like he naturally belonged in a superior position.
With such an imposing manner, Wei Wucai had won.
Chen Zeqing didn't think of himself as someone amazing.
But as a public figure, he had seen many things.
He knew that such an aura was natural.
Ordinary people would be no match to someone with such an aura.
Chen Zeqing knew that Wei Wucai was the CEO of Ledepic More.
Even so, Wei Wucai shouldn't belittle him like this, right?
Chen Zeqing secretly frowned. However, at that moment, he couldn't stand up.
If he stood up, it would indicate that he had lost and he had been intimidated.
"So you're Zhiqing's friend," Wei Wucai said as he smiled calmly.
Chen Zeqing chuckled and responded half-heartedly, "Nice to meet you."
He continued, "I want to invite you to lunch as well, but it is not very convenient for you to join us for lunch. There are some things I must say to Zhiqing. Raincheck? I will invite you out for lunch another day with just the two of us. It will be a formal invitation."
"What do you have to say to her alone?" Wei Wucai asked coldly.
Chen Zeqing thought, how shameless Wei Wucai was being. He no longer responded courteously. "This is something between me and Zhiqing. I don't have to report it to you, do I?"
Chen Zeqing paused and said, "You two are just friends."
The corner of Wei Wucai's mouth curved up into a grim smile. He didn't say anything in response.
He just glanced over at Yan Zhiqing.
Yan Zhiqing moved her mouth.
If Wei Wucai asked her if she would eat lunch with Chen Zeqing at this moment…
Even if Yan Zhiqing was still mad at Wei Wucai and even if he would potentially be forcing her to make a decision…
Yan Zhiqing thought about it and realized that she would still answer that she would not go with Chen Zeqing.
When Chen Zeqing contemptuously said to Wei Wucai earlier that she and Wei Wucai were just friends…
Yan Zhiqing's first reaction was to feel a desire to tell Chen Zeqing that Wei Wucai was not just her friend.
She wanted to tell Chen Zeqing not to feel too good about himself.
Her relationship with Chen Zeqing was nothing in comparison.
Yan Zhiqing hesitated and waited for Wei Wucai to ask.
If so, she would answer him.
But unexpectedly, Wei Wucai only cast a glance at her. He didn't ask her any questions.
"I got it." He then turned and left.
Chen Zeqing felt so proud of himself. He thought that he had forced Wei Wucai away.
In addition, based on Wei Wucai's attitude, he knew that he and Yan Zhiqing were just friends.
He hadn't expected to figure out Wei Wucai and Yan Zhiqing's relationship with just a few sentences.
This was an unexpected joy.
However, Yan Zhiqing, who was beside Chen Zeqing, froze.
She initially thought that Wei Wucai was going to ask her for her decision.
