Chapter 52 - 52 52 Maneuvering (2)_1
?Chapter 52: Chapter 52: Maneuvering (2)_1 Chapter 52: Chapter 52: Maneuvering (2)_1 Liang Chen remained silent for a while before finally uttering a word of acknowledgment. “Hmm.”
Jing Haohao held her cell phone tightly, her heart suddenly becoming somewhat anxious. After waiting for a while and hearing no response from Liang Chen on the phone, she whispered softly, “I’m going to hang up.”
“Hmm,” Liang Chen responded once again with a murmur.
Jing Haohao waited for god knows how long, then hastily uttered, “Goodbye,” and ended the call.
Liang Chen stood in front of the mirrored glass, listening to the busy signal hum “beep, beep, beep” from his cell phone. Looking out at the clean, clear blue skies and white clouds of Jiangshan City, his mood suddenly calmed down.
He stood there for a while until his secretary stepped out of the conference room and carefully said, “Mr. Liang, everyone is waiting for you to start the meeting.”
Only then did Liang Chen slowly turn his head, nodded at his secretary, and then turned back, lifted his head to look at the sky. At that moment, an airplane flew across the sky. He stood there with his hands in his pockets, watching the plane until it disappeared, before he turned around and walked back into the conference room like nothing happened.

In this TV drama directed by Fang Lu, Jing Haohao isn’t even considered as a supporting actress, she’s just a maid who is always seen by the female lead’s side.
When Jing Haohao received the script, she read through her lines and noticed that she had one or two in every episode, but after reading the whole script, she realized that most of her lines were repetitive.
To summarize, Jing Haohao’s lines mostly came in the following forms:
“Miss, you are indeed beautiful.”
“Miss, it’s time for you to sleep.”
“Miss, the master is calling you.”
“Miss, the young master is really good to you.”

Qiao Wennuan, a professional actress, has become a rising star in TS Entertainment Company over the past few years. She has played numerous leading roles, her acting skills are quite good, and very rarely does she have any NGs. Most of the time, she gets through her scenes in one take. So, the entire filming process proved to be quite easy for Jing Haohao. Even when there were NGs, they usually happened in the emotional scenes between Qiao Wennuan and the lead actor. During these moments, Jing Haohao usually just had to stand distantly behind Qiao Wennuan and the leading actor, serving as a background character. Acting in such scenes was not difficult.
In this way, life passed uneventfully, and a month blinked by.
Jing Haohao clearly remembered that Liang Chen had promised her two days off every month. Therefore, as the end of the month approached, Jing Haohao began to take progesterone tablets she had prepared in advance.
As always, after continuously taking the tablets for three days and stopping on the second day, her monthly period arrived as expected in the afternoon.
Actually, for actors working on films, life on the set can be quite boring. There’s almost no time off, even at night. Sometimes, if the weather is good enough, they might have to film night scenes.
Therefore, after a full month, those actors playing significant roles would feel exhausted.
Fang Lu wasn’t sure who had the influence to make the higher-ups command that everyone must get a two-day break at the end of the month. But for the sake of the actors’ wellbeing, she felt that taking these two days off was very necessary.
Therefore, on the last afternoon of the month, to give everyone more free time, Fang Lu only scheduled a simple scene.
