In the morning, Luo Ziling and Luo Yuqing went to the filming site.
Dai Shulan designed roles for them with not much screen time, but they were quite outstanding.
After reading the script, Luo Ziling hesitated no longer and expressed his willingness to play this role.
In the process of preparing for this role, he received quite a few messages and calls.
Xu Chen also called him to inquire about Ling Ruonan. Upon learning that Luo Ziling would stay two more days in Hengdian, she told Luo Ziling she would come to visit him in the evening and have a chat about this matter.
"Anyway, Yuezhou to Hengdian is not far, about an hour’s drive!" Xu Chen whispered to explain, worried Luo Ziling might misunderstand, "Tonight there’s no official event. I’m going to Hengdian for some personal matters, no one can say anything about it."
Eventually, Luo Ziling did not refuse Xu Chen’s request to come for a visit.
Cao Jianhui also called Luo Ziling, saying he was accompanying his parents over and would likely arrive tonight.
"Everyone is gathering together!" Luo Ziling couldn’t help but feel a bit helpless, but in the end, he didn’t complain about anything, only instructing Cao Jianhui to settle down first when they arrived in Hengdian, as he had quite some tasks today and would come to find them once he’s free.
Cao Jianhui didn’t object and agreed wholeheartedly.
In the morning, Luo Ziling kept preparing for his supporting role; when it was lunchtime, Wuyue came to report that everything was arranged perfectly, and the people who had gone to Jiangcheng had all safely returned to Yanjing.
Those two people’s movements were completely unexposed.
Wuyue only arranged two people to participate in this mission.
Those two did not disappoint Wuyue and successfully completed the task.
After hearing Wuyue’s report, Luo Ziling didn’t say much.
He trusted Wuyue’s abilities. When Wuyue said the task was perfectly completed without any errors, he believed her.
After pondering a bit, he instructed Wuyue to send two people to Jiangcheng to assist Ling Ruonan, and they must go openly.
Wuyue told Luo Ziling she had already arranged for a few people to go to Jiangcheng, including Yang Xiaodong and Wang Zhenjun.
As Wuyue had made such arrangements, Luo Ziling was a bit surprised, but also quite pleased, and praised her with a few words.
Receiving praise from Luo Ziling, Wuyue felt quite happy.
After lunch, Luo Ziling and Yang Qingyin joined the filming.
The roles arranged by Dai Shulan for Luo Ziling and Yang Qingyin were straightforward, a pair of highly skilled martial arts siblings. As they followed their master’s command to handle a matter, they encountered the drama’s male and female lead. Coincidentally, the leads were in danger, and they stepped in to rescue them, then left gracefully after saving the leads.
"Maybe we will become the biggest suspense in this series." After the filming concluded, Luo Ziling posted several of his and Yang Qingyin’s costume photos, along with some shooting moments, on Weibo, and introduced the series further.
Consequently, the involvement of Luo Ziling and Yang Qingyin in the filming quickly became a hot topic on Weibo.
The series they participated in also naturally became a trending topic.
Many people left messages on Luo Ziling’s Weibo, stating they must watch once the series is released.
They hoped Luo Ziling would have more scenes as they couldn’t get enough of him.
Luo Yuqing was overjoyed seeing Luo Ziling’s post becoming a Weibo hot search.
She ran to Luo Ziling and praised him publicly, saying he set a good example by attracting many people’s attention to the series.
Before the series premiere, Luo Ziling should advertise more to boost its popularity.
She also hoped other participants would promote the series more, allowing everyone to be filled with anticipation for this star-studded TV series.
As they were preparing for dinner, Luo Ziling received a message from Xu Chen, saying she was already on her way to Hengdian, intending to invite Luo Ziling for a meal once she arrived, urging him to wait for her.
Upon receiving Xu Chen’s message, Luo Ziling didn’t join others for dinner, instead specifically waited for Xu Chen.
Knowing Luo Ziling planned to dine with Xu Chen, Yang Qingyin and Luo Yuqing didn’t comment, simply going off to eat on their own.
Around six-thirty, Luo Ziling finally met Xu Chen.
Upon arriving in Hengdian, Xu Chen directly arranged for Luo Ziling to go to the dining place.
The restaurant she chose appeared quite ordinary, a private kitchen not open to the public, only serving old customers or friends recommended by them.
Xu Chen once worked in Hengdian, though it was a decade ago, she was a notable figure due to her beauty.
She maintained a good relationship with the lady boss and kept in touch even after leaving Hengdian, occasionally visiting for a meal.
"This private kitchen has pretty good flavors." Seeing Luo Ziling enter, Xu Chen, who was waiting in the private room, immediately stood up and approached him, "I dare not invite Mr. Luo to a high-end hotel, but rather to a place without much fame."
"Having a beautiful mayor treat me to dinner, I’m indeed very honored. And I know too well that dining in such private kitchens is a rare opportunity for most." Luo Ziling said with a smile, uttering a few polite words and teasing her a little, "Chen must have dressed up specially today, looking too beautiful. What if I can’t resist later?"
Xu Chen covered her mouth in laughter, casting him a charming gaze, "Looks like Mr. Luo is in good spirits, otherwise he wouldn’t joke like this with me. But, no matter how well I dress up, I can’t compare to those stunning beauties around you. I’m a past-beauty, not daring to call myself one anymore."
"Chen, you’re being modest." Luo Ziling gestured an invite for Xu Chen to sit down and talk, "I’m not speaking flattery, Chen is still certainly a great beauty. I think there must be quite a few people coveting your looks. Hehe, am I right?"
"Alas, that’s true!" Xu Chen didn’t refute, "Guarding against those people’s covetousness is indeed very difficult."
"In this aspect, my mom is a bit better than you. No one dares have designs on her; those who do, do not fare well."
"How can I compare with your mom, both in looks and ability, I wouldn’t match her even in several lifetimes." Upon saying this, Xu Chen shifted her tone, quietly asking Luo Ziling, "Your mom went on a business trip to Jiangcheng, how did she encounter an attack? How is her situation now?"
Xu Chen didn’t ask who could’ve been behind it. Smartly, she wouldn’t ask such a question with no answer.
"She was only frightened, not injured. This matter, I no longer have the authority to manage."
Luo Ziling’s words left Xu Chen quite surprised, though sensibly she didn’t ask more, simply nodded lightly: "I understand!"
Luo Ziling drank a sip of tea Xu Chen brewed for him, then said to Xu Chen, "Chen, you must work hard and aim to become the head of Jiangnan Province. I really have faith in you!"
Luo Ziling’s words caused a swift change of expression on Xu Chen’s face.
