The President's Queen's Sweet Wife

Chapter 519 Director Egret
Two days later.

Su Muqing got on the plane to Nancheng, where she successfully met the new director Bai Lu.

"Hi, I'm Su Muqing." Su Muqing introduced herself politely: "We were on the phone before, do you remember?"

"Remember." Bai Lu's voice was low and deep, a little weak. "I'm sorry, I'm here as my aunt, so I'm relatively weak."

"Ah, that's it." Su Muqing stood at the door feeling at a loss. "Can I go in?"

"Come in." Bailu turned on the light in the living room. "Sorry, I like to draw the curtains all the year round, so the sight in the room will be darker."

"But why don't you like the curtains?" Su Muqing changed her shoes at the entrance, and only then noticed the furnishings in the room...ahem, the floor is messy, a little...dirty.

"Because of the scar on my face." Bailu turned around and lifted the long hair covering his face. "See? My ugly scar, so I don't like pulling the curtains."

"... burnt?"

"Mm." Bai Lu covered her face with her hair again. "I was accidentally burned when I was two years old, and I got a scar because of improper handling."

"But if you really care about it, you can go for surgery, and the scar can fade to a certain extent."

"It doesn't matter." Egret lay on the sofa as if he had no bones. "I'm actually used to it. After all, I don't go out all the year round."

"Then your director qualification certificate..."

"I took the test when I was in school." Bailu looked at her sideways. "Do you regret choosing me as your director?"

"Not really." Su Muqing smelled alcohol in the air. "you've been drinking?"

"Well, I drank some in the morning." Bailu pointed to the trash can. "I didn't drink much. If you think the house is particularly messy, you can actually tidy it up for me a little bit."

"Do you think I look like someone who can clean up the house?" Su Muqing found that Bai Lu was really a very casual person, without airs at all. "But I can find you a housekeeper. If you let the housekeeper clean it up, it will be much faster and cleaner than mine."

"Then I'm really grateful to you." Egret said so, but he was still lying there like a puddle of mud. "Do you know my address?"

"You sent it to me before." Su Muqing said as she turned on her phone and ordered three housekeepers online.After the payment is successful, put your phone aside. "It will arrive in about half an hour. I think, before that, can we communicate a little bit about the time you joined the group?"

"I will join the group with you."

"Follow me?" Su Muqing looked at her hesitantly. "The problem is I'll be on set a few days in advance."

"I'm with you." Egret raised his hand. "As a director, how could it be possible for the supervisor to do these things alone. That would be bad. I have to be responsible for this work of my own."

"But your work hasn't been named yet." Su Muqing frowned slightly. "Why didn't you decide on a name? Is it because you didn't think about it?"

"My name is useless." When Bailu said this, there was a faint self-mockery on the corner of his mouth. "I'm a sucker for naming names. I didn't see that the names of the hero and heroine in my story are also very random? After all, I am such a random person, so the characters in my works are also very random characters."

"You are really a very special person." Su Muqing felt that Bailu was very interesting. "Actually, it's nice to be able to live as you please."

"Perhaps." Egret looked at her lazily. "You came all the way and I didn't entertain you for a meal. Why don't we take out our personalities and order some beer by the way."

"Are you still drinking?" Su Muqing looked at her worriedly. "You just drank liquor this morning."

"So now I need to rinse my mouth with beer." Bai Lu smiled as friendly as possible. "Do you want to drink some too? It's been a long time since anyone drank with me."

*
half an hour later.The cleaning lady came at the appointed time.When they got here, they finally understood why they had to order three cleanings at a time.Because this house is too big!dirty!up!
Bai Lu looked at those cleaning eyes, but he was used to it. "Every cleaning aunt who comes here looks at me like this, thinking that my house is dirty and messy."

"It's quite messy." Su Muqing ordered takeaway on her phone again. "After all, if it weren't for the fact that I knew you were in your house, I would have thought that no one lived there all year round."

"Too lazy to clean up." Bailu still maintained the posture of lying on the sofa with his head on one hand. "Do you know why I always draw the curtains?"

"why?"

"Because I'm lazy!" Egret laughed and said, "Think about it, I wake up and eat every day, write manuscripts after meals, and go to bed after writing manuscripts. The schedule is so full, how can I have time to clean up the house?" .”

"What you said is so reasonable that I can't refute it." Su Muqing found that Bai Lu was actually quite good at speaking, and there were quite a lot of fallacies. "But anyway, you are also a best-selling author, a screenwriter and a director. If you make so much money, why don't you hire a nanny at home?"

"I hired a nanny." Bai Lu explained: "But the nanny couldn't bear the fact that I asked her to drink all the time, so I ran away. After that, I didn't bother to look for it anymore and didn't look for it."

"Why do you like drinking so much?"

"Because I can sleep peacefully after drinking." Bai Lu pointed to the small bottle not far away. "See there. If I don't drink myself too much, I have to drink these auxiliary medicines before I can sleep. My sleep quality is not good all the year round. There is no way. It may be because there are too many things in my mind every day. So I can only let myself live in this drunken dream."

"It's scary." Su Muqing really felt that this kind of life was a bit scary. "No matter how busy you are at work, you still have to take care of yourself."

"Anyway, I'm alone." Bai Lu didn't care about these things anymore. "In the early years, my mother often came to accompany me. Since my mother died of illness, I have become a lonely person. I am even more lazy."

"Okay." Su Muqing didn't know what was wrong with her.Although Egret is indeed smiling, she always gives herself the feeling that she is sad. "When I ordered takeaway just now, you said you didn't have anything you particularly like, as long as you can eat it."

"Yes, my requirements for the quality of life are quite low." Bailu rested his chin with one hand. "As long as you don't starve to death."

"Earning so much money doesn't improve the quality of life."

"All donated." Egret yawned lazily. "Except for the monthly living expenses, I donated everything to the orphanage."

"...for charity?"

"I think I can't spend it all by myself anyway, so it's better to spend it for those who need help, at least the money can be spent wisely."

Su Muqing was suddenly in awe of Bailu, and even felt that her previous understanding of her seemed to be a misunderstanding.

"Don't look at me like that just because I did charity." Bai Lu knew what she was thinking. "I just did a charity by the way, it's not worth mentioning."

"Suddenly I'm looking forward to working with you." Su Muqing rolled up her lips and smiled lightly. "Maybe, maybe we can be friends."

...*
It was already ten o'clock in the evening when Su Muqing returned to Dongcheng again.For her, the whole day with Bailu was really fulfilling. Although she experienced many "bad things" that she had never experienced before, in the final analysis, she was exposed to a field that she had never been exposed to before.

Lu Tingsen frowned suddenly after listening to her chattering about how good Bailu was. "How long are you going to talk about?"

"What's the matter?" Su Muqing sat in front of the dressing table and put a bubble mask on her face. "I'm sharing with you something new that I encountered today."

"It's not new at all." Lu Tingsen's deep eyes fell on her indifferently. "You've been telling me how wonderful this female director is. Why, are you introducing me to a blind date?"

"I'll introduce you to a blind date?" Su Muqing realized that she seemed to have been talking about Bailu and ignoring her own Mr. Lu's feelings. "Okay, I don't want to talk about it. Why don't we watch other things?"

"Come here." Lu Tingsen patted the place beside him, signaling her to come over obediently. "Sit here with me for a while."

"What's up, old couple." Su Muqing said so but went anyway. "Could it be that you encountered something unhappy in the company today?"

"I'm not unhappy." Lu Tingsen gave her a bed the moment she sat down. "I just feel a little hungry all of a sudden."

"But you just had dinner." Su Muqing looked at him a little shyly. "Why didn't I know that you have such a big appetite, and you still want to eat after eating."

"You know exactly what kind of food I'm talking about." Lu Tingsen's deep eyes suddenly sank, and the corners of his mouth curled up evilly. "It's an old couple's, so there's no such connection?"

"But I'm still putting on the mask." Su Muqing's long eyelashes trembled slightly, and her hands lightly rested on Mr. Lu's shoulders. "You can't be in a hurry, right, after all, my mask is quite expensive."

"How expensive?" Lu Tingsen took off her mask and looked at her with interest. "No matter how expensive it is, I will pay ten times the compensation, how about it?"

"Isn't that the wool from the sheep?" Su Muqing frowned slightly, and looked at him complainingly. "Your money is my money. If you compensate me, I am actually compensating myself."

Lu Tingsen's body suddenly sank, and he stroked her face with his big hand. "You're right. But it might make you more comfortable to put it another way."
