Chapter 291: Self-Reliance

Xia Hankong felt a sense of relief. After firing the photographer, he thought that no matter what, Qin Qiao'er would feel more comfortable.

Actually, he didn't think too much about it. He just felt angry. The words the photographer said to Qin Qiao'er made him uncomfortable. He didn't even think about how Qin Qiao'er would react after she found out. He just made this decision.

However, when Qin Qiao'er learned about this, she had some thoughts in her mind. She thought that Xia Hankong was really a good friend to her. He cared about her and avenged her. Such a friend was really rare.

She couldn't describe her feelings, but she was inevitably filled with a deep sense of gratitude. She thought Xia Hankong was really nice to her.

Once the troublesome photographer left, the shooting of Qin Qiao'er's perfume advertisement immediately went smoothly. Those who used to be unfriendly all changed their attitudes. Their flattering and obsequious looks made Qin Qiao'er feel uncomfortable all over. Fortunately, only a few more shots were needed to finish the perfume advertisement.

She took a few more sets of still photos as required by the photographer and finally completed the shooting of the perfume advertisement. She was so exhausted that she felt as if her whole body didn't belong to her. Qin Qiao'er really wanted to lie down and not move. But thinking of the two babies staying at the Zhao family's, Qin Qiao'er immediately got motivated and contacted Tu Qinqin.

"Sister Qinqin, I've finished the shooting here..."

"Really? Find a place nearby to rest. I'll come and pick you up right away. There's a newly negotiated advertising endorsement. We'll discuss the details after we meet." Tu Qinqin's eyes lit up and she immediately talked about the new work arrangement, not giving Qin Qiao'er any chance to complain. In her opinion, as long as one could squeeze into the ranks of first - tier actresses, it was worth enduring any hardship.

"... Sister Qinqin?" Qin Qiao'er stared blankly at the hung - up phone.

Fortunately, Tu Qinqin was an action - oriented person. Qin Qiao'er didn't wait long before Tu Qinqin picked her up in the car. After getting in the car, Tu Qinqin immediately arranged work for Qin Qiao'er: "Taking advantage of the popularity during this period, I've arranged three advertisements for you. One is for a fashionable watch, one is for high - end clothing, and the other is a marine - themed public - service advertisement. Now we're going to shoot the public - service advertisement..."

"You know what shooting a public - service advertisement means to you, so I won't explain too much. The advertising script is in the bag. You can take it and have a look." When it came to this public - service advertisement, Tu Qinqin's eyes sparkled. "I didn't even expect this advertisement to come to you. You know that there are always many people vying for such advertisements..."

"Sister Qinqin, I'll take it seriously."

Qin Qiao'er, who was feeling numb in the scalp, just wanted to cover her ears. She really hoped that Tu Qinqin could get rid of the problem of rambling on when she was nervous. After taking a closer look at the content of the advertisement, which was to appeal to people to protect rare marine animals, Qin Qiao'er immediately thought of the twins waiting impatiently at the Zhao family's. She whispered, "Sister Qinqin, when will I have some free time?"

"If you don't take advantage of this opportunity to solidify your career, do you still want to have free time to rest?" Tu Qinqin frowned. If she weren't driving, she would have wanted to teach Qin Qiao'er a lesson.

"Show some ambition. It's not every day that you can have an actor as your co - star..."

"Sister Qinqin, I just want to spend some time with Chenchen and Wanwan." Qin Qiao'er felt wronged.

"Video - chat with them when you get back to the hotel at night. It's only been a few days and you can't stand it. You'll have even less time when you become a first - tier actress." Tu Qinqin was really strict when it came to work.

"Come on, stop acting cute. You're not a kid anymore. Hurry up and get familiar with the advertising script. After you finish shooting these three advertisements, I'll discuss with the company to give you two days off."

"Thank you, Sister Qinqin." Qin Qiao'er nodded repeatedly and didn't dare to argue with Tu Qinqin at all.

There was such an incident before. She was so busy that she really wanted to take a rest. Tu Qinqin relented and gave her two days off. But she complained that the time was too short and ended up with no vacation at all. That time, she could only see the two little ones in video chats for a whole half - year. When Qin Qiao'er finally had time to go back and see the twins, they almost didn't recognize her. The twins were so angry that they ignored her for a whole week.

After that, Qin Qiao'er learned her lesson and always did as Tu Qinqin said.

Seeing that Qin Qiao'er was really exhausted, Tu Qinqin relaxed her policy appropriately and didn't let Qin Qiao'er rush to the next shooting immediately. Seeing Qin Qiao'er sleeping in the passenger seat, Tu Qinqin sighed and turned to contact the person in charge. She postponed the shooting time to tomorrow and then managed to take Qin Qiao'er back to the hotel to rest.

"Where am I..." Qin Qiao'er woke up and stared blankly at the furnishings in the hotel room.

She got out of bed and walked around. She found a note left by Tu Qinqin on the bedside table. Qin Qiao'er smiled knowingly - Qiaoqiao, the shooting time has been changed. Have a good rest today and get enough energy.

After taking a shower to relax, Qin Qiao'er couldn't wait to pick up her tablet and video - chat with Qin Chenchen and Qin Wanwan.

"Chenchen, Wanwan, do you miss me?" As soon as the call was connected and she saw the two treasures, Qin Qiao'er wished she could get into the tablet and go back to the twins' side along the network cable.

"Tell mom, have you been good recently? Have you listened to your dad? Have you eaten well?"

"Mom, I'm not Wanwan. I won't do stupid things that hurt myself."

Qin Chenchen was as mature - sounding as ever. He took the opportunity to scold Qin Wanwan. Puffing out his cheeks, Qin Wanwan angrily knocked on Qin Chenchen and then showed a flattering smile to defend himself: "Mom, don't listen to Chenchen. I've been very good recently. I've finished my homework on time and haven't eaten any snacks secretly. Dad often praises me for being good..."

"And then you scattered Dad's documents all over the floor? Dad spent a long time cleaning up your room for you..." Qin Chenchen was very unkind and exposed Qin Wanwan.

"Qin Chenchen, whose brother are you anyway!" Qin Wanwan was very angry. He raised his voice and argued with Qin Chenchen, stupidly telling the whole story.

"I just wanted to organize Dad's documents... but my hands are too short... What can I do? Dad didn't even scold me. Humph."

Qin Chenchen covered his face in despair. This guy must not be born of the same mother as me.

"Chenchen, Wanwan, what's going on exactly?" Qin Qiao'er sat up straight. She worked hard outside to make a good life for her babies and protect them from being bullied. "Tell me clearly. If you don't, I'll go and ask your dad."

"Mom, you can go and ask Dad. I don't want to explain this embarrassing thing for Wanwan." When it came to Qin Wanwan's things, Qin Chenchen chose to give up. He glanced at Qin Wanwan and sighed.

Qin Wanwan, who immediately understood, immediately acted cute and coquettishly: "Mom, it's so hard to see you. It's like three autumns. Wanwan misses you so much. When can Mom come back? Dad misses you too. I secretly saw Dad staring at your photo in a daze. Mom, do you miss us?"

"Um..." Qin Qiao'er suddenly blushed. "Kids, don't ask so many questions."
