Chapter 208 "A Day of Overtime" (Part 2)
If you don’t confess this, you won’t have a chance! !
The audience's hearts were in their throats, and they wanted to rush up and say "I like you" for Qin Jue.
On the stage, Qin Jue's expression changed several times, from dull to stiff, to panic and anxiety.
The conversation next door was still going on, and Liang Chenglei said in his usual stiff and serious tone:
"It's time for young people to start their careers, so they should never give up their work no matter what."
He clasped his knuckles on the table and tried to slow down his tone, "Haofeng Graphics is our cooperative company. In your past employment, you were only promoted but not demoted. There is no harm."
Qin Jue, who was eavesdropping, froze in his seat in shock and was extremely panicked.
Shu Mei obviously understood, or understood something, her eyes were both ashamed and moved.
"I understand, thank you Mr. Liang." She said with a slight smile.
Are you really leaving?
Qin Jue didn't even have more time to worry and think, because the small speaker next to the desktop computer rang again, indicating that a new email had been received.
Her sweat-soaked face twisted together briefly, and she turned her mind and eyes back to the computer screen in annoyance. She was typing loudly, with an expression of sadness, anger and pain.
Across a wall, the conversation continued, and the content had changed from two general managers discussing official business to a temporary interview with Shu Mei.
Li Zhi did not embarrass the girl at the front desk and only asked a few simple and basic questions, which took a very short time.
Zeng Xinhuiqin in the judges' seat briefly glanced at the countdown on the screen. Five minutes and twenty seconds had passed, and only one and a half minutes were left.
In the end, how will it be reversed?
Although there are few people who pay attention to the details of time, she is not the only one.
There was a smile in Zhu Zishu's eyes. He had re-watched "The Cage" online since the Golden Plum Awards ceremony. Qin Jue's anxious overtime performance on the stage just now was truly worthy of his "Best Action Design" The name.
When Liang Chenglei saw that the matter was settled, he asked Shu Mei to go out and wait, and told her not to forget to go to the Human Resources Department to complete the procedures.
"Okay Mr. Liang."
Shu Mei bowed slightly and left with brisk and cheerful steps. She put one hand on the doorknob and pressed down, turned around politely and exited the door.
When the door made a clear locking sound in her hand, Qin Jue rushed forward like a goalkeeper trying to remedy a mistake. He held Shu Mei's shoulders and arms with both hands, and her face was almost in front of her. It's the warm breath spraying on your face.
Shu Mei did not run away, but her eyes widened in surprise.
"Shu Mei." Qin Jue spoke, speaking urgently and quickly, "I'm too busy, and I'm only free for a little while now. I, I want to take this opportunity to ask you - are you willing to be with me? Is it? I'm sorry, I really don't have time to buy you roses, and I can't think of any romantic way to pursue you until you agree. But, I do like you, very much, and I love you."
Shu Mei looked at her blankly.
"You...what did you say?"
She opened her eyes and blinked her beautiful eyes slowly.
"Didn't I make it clear?" Qin Jue said anxiously, "Please, answer me quickly - I, my computer has received emails again, and I have to deal with them immediately - time is running out, Shu Mei, I have wanted to tell you for a long time. I like you and I want you to be my girlfriend. If you are willing, we can go to the marriage registration office to get the marriage certificate within a year, no, within half a year. I will work hard. Yes, Mr. Liang has already said that I will be promoted next month, he always has his say, you know."
"Wait, you...?"
Shu Mei still looked at Qin Jue blankly. She seemed to want to laugh, but she didn't seem to understand what the situation was at all.
"Don't you like me? Although it sounds like wishful thinking, I think you have a good feeling for me, isn't it? Don't you want to try dating me? Just, just a chance?"
Qin Jue's breathing was rapid and he begged urgently, "Are you worried about the damn work regulations? Don't worry, leave it to me. We, we can hide it first, or I'll talk to Mr. Liang. He said it himself He said that he gave me so much work because he recognized my ability. He valued me very much. After the busiest month, I became a senior assistant. My monthly salary would be doubled, even if one of us If anyone is fired, it won't affect our relationship."
She hurriedly finished a long paragraph, her words were incoherent, and she mumbled several times and repeated the same content in her mouth.
Finally, Qin Jue looked into the girl's eyes almost pleadingly and asked:
"So what's your answer? Shu Mei, are you willing to be with me? Are you willing?"
Shu Mei looked at him blankly, her eyes suddenly turned red, and she burst into tears with a smile.
"I understand."
She finally stretched out her hand and straightened Qin Jue's raised collar.
"My dear, you are so busy that you have forgotten everything." Shu Mei held up Qin Jue's stunned face with her hands after finishing trimming her collar. She looked at her stupid look, laughed again, and said softly , "It really scared me to death. I thought you were going to say something-"
"Don't you remember? We exchanged engagement rings at the convenience store downstairs at the company at eight o'clock last night."
Qin Jue's eyes widened quickly, and her hand slowly moved to Shu Mei's hand, pulling the soft and warm hand away from her cheek.
In the close-up shot, the girl's right hand and the boy's left hand are overlapped, and there is a faint ring mark on the middle finger. *
…
The whole place was brightly lit.
Bang bang bang bang! !
Zhu Zishu and Zeng Xinhuiqin stood up and applauded at the same time, awakening the still shocked audience. In just a few seconds, the entire studio was filled with applause.
“Outstanding!”
Yue Yang almost stood up, smiled, put the microphone to his mouth, and praised loudly.
The four actors, including Qin Jue, and other members of the group had already reached the center of the stage. They all stepped forward and bowed to the audience.
"Very good, quite good!" After the two people next to him sat down, Yue Yang was still grinning from ear to ear, "You have completed a performance with almost negligible flaws!"
"Applause to our eighth group!" Host Lin Yuqin found every opportunity to create a craze once again.
How hard it is to finally come up with a work worthy of being praised!
It’s hard to keep the atmosphere going with him smiling all the time, isn’t it?
After the warm applause gradually dissipated, Zeng Xinhuiqin smiled and said: "This is an adaptation."
"Yes." The four actors looked at each other and tacitly agreed to let Qin Jue speak alone, "Adapted from O. Henry's short story, "The Romance of the Busy Agent."
"Excellent choice." Zeng Xinhuiqin nodded lightly, "With a duration of five to seven minutes, micro-movies and short stories are very suitable. The original script has to be changed into a few minutes of acting in a short time. The director and screenwriter have no strength, so they can only It would be a disgrace to oneself.”
In the intern seats, several group leaders couldn't help but blush because of the precise connotation.
"The selection is appropriate, the rhythm is appropriate, the acting skills are above average, and the foreshadowing and details are well done." Zeng Xinhuiqin summed it up simply, raised her head and smiled, "95 points."
She showed her score happily and neatly.
*There are different opinions on how to wear an engagement ring. Internationally/actually, it is mostly on the middle finger of the left hand. However, in China, there is also a saying of "men on the left and women on the right". Qin Jue and Shu Mei are face to face, so if they are both left-handed, they cannot show it. Close-up, so the "male on the left, female on the right" setting was used.
The next chapter will also explain it specifically.
