After Being Blackened All Over the Internet, I Ruled the Military Variety Shows-Chapter 10 The Sun Rises from the West

The production crew felt as if they had experienced a truly surreal evening tonight.

Jiang Lingxi, the renowned, beautiful yet incredibly annoying Jiang Lingxi, actually apologized publicly to Director Zhao and the rest of the backstage crew!

Even though they only had some coarse tea made by the locals this evening, they felt as if they had drunk quite a bit of alcohol.

Otherwise, how could they have such an illusion of hearing things!

Zhao Hengsheng was also conflicted after returning.

On one hand, he thought Jiang Lingxi was just pretending and her public apology was merely a compromise, but on the other hand, he couldn't help but recall her sincerely apologizing with her cup in hand, it truly didn't seem fake.

As a director, he should be able to see through acting in an instant.

However, the previous impression Jiang Lingxi left on him was terribly bad.

He regretted more than once in the past few days for inviting such a troublesome diva onto his show!

"Well, the next three days are all under the camera, one day it will become clear who they really are."

On the other side.

Jiang Lingxi and the few temporary roommates also returned to their countryside villa.

After saying goodnight, she headed towards her bedroom.

Noticing several gazes filled with a bit of complexity behind her, Jiang Lingxi calmly opened the door in front of her.

She did not feel any embarrassment in apologizing to backstage staff, even if it was just a laborer carrying equipment.

In her past life, she dared to defy the world's opinion and ascend as a ruler, not only because of absolute skill and power, but also because she gained the sincere reverence of ministers by valuing talents and respecting capable people.

To be a wise ruler whom the ministers admire, one must have some personal charm.

She slept soundly throughout the night, whereas many other people found it difficult to sleep.

The night in the small mountain village was exceptionally quiet.

Away from the city's bustle, even sleep felt deeper than usual.

Until the dawn, when a rooster from a nearby house began to crow, followed by a series of bird chirps outside the window, completely breaking the silence of the night.

Jiang Lingxi sat up on the bed, nestled in the quilt listening to the sounds from outside, murmured, "The early bird catches the worm," then threw back the quilt and got up to wash up.

In the living room of the countryside villa, some of the show's crew members who got up earlier were busy installing recording equipment. Someone heard footsteps coming from the direction of the bedroom hallway and instinctively turned to look, pausing their work.

"Jiang, Teacher Jiang?"

He almost couldn't help but look out the window. Did the sun rise from the west today?

It was just past six in the morning!

If it had been She Man or Xu Yin appearing, he wouldn't be too surprised, even if it was Lin Xuefei, he could accept it, but he absolutely didn't expect the first one up to be Jiang Lingxi!

In the past, Jiang Lingxi and Jiang Kaiyuan were the two major "troublemakers" among the guests, one an internet-addicted teenager, the other a diva, they could even hold a competition on who could wake up the latest.

First the public apology yesterday, and now the sudden change from being a "late riser," the contrast before and after utterly baffled him!

While walking, Jiang Lingxi straightened her jacket's zipper, lifted her gaze and nodded towards the young man who was slightly open-mouthed, "Morning."

"Ah, good morning, Teacher Jiang."

"You guys keep busy, I'll head out for a bit and be back soon." Just as she reached the door and was about to step over the threshold, Jiang Lingxi suddenly turned back, "I won't delay the recording, will I?"

"No, no, recording starts at eight."

This was also the normal wake-up time for the guests.

Watching her figure dressed in sportswear vanish from sight, the few in the living room glanced at each other, continuing their work while whispering among themselves.

"Did Jiang Lingxi really have an epiphany and is ready to turn over a new leaf? She actually greeted us just now!"

This was something unimaginable in the past.

"I was nearby when she fell off the cliff before, it was really dangerous, she almost didn't make it, and when she was rescued, she was already unconscious, reportedly she woke up after lying in the hospital for two days and two nights. Maybe she really wants to change for the better."

"Indeed, I also find that she seems more pleasing this time around. Before, at most, you could admire her from behind a screen or in photos, but in person, she was really difficult to deal with; just now, she seemed okay."

"Forget it, I don't believe she can really change, she caused such huge losses to the production crew, if she doesn't lower herself, she won't last. Just wait, as soon as the show ends, I bet her true colors will show again."

At these words, others remembered the increased workload they were forced into because of her and fell silent.

"Yes, let's just wait and see."

The countryside villa housed only five guests, while the others, whether directors, backstage crew, or assistants brought by guests, stayed at the local villagers' homes nearby.

Tong Yue was staying with Lu Zhengzheng last night, and hearing that the host family was already up, the two of them got up quickly as well.

Tong Yue had packed her luggage before bed last night—just a small suitcase—and after being warmly hosted for breakfast, she carried her suitcase over to the countryside villa.

After greeting the few busy crew members in the living room, she was about to head towards Jiang Lingxi's room when one of them stopped her.

"Sister Tong, are you looking for Teacher Jiang? She's not here."

"Not here?" Tong Yue's voice raised uncontrollably, "Where did she go so early?"

"Teacher Jiang didn't say when she left, but we saw her wearing a tracksuit and running shoes, so she might have gone out to work out."

"Work out?" Tong Yue muttered, "She actually knows to work out?"

The person nearby who heard this wanted to laugh but held back.

Even her manager found it unbelievable, so their previous surprise seemed quite normal too.

On the countryside path, Jiang Lingxi adjusted her breathing as she jogged slowly.

At this moment, she deeply realized the frailness of her original body, it was excessively weak.

Her stamina couldn't keep up after running just a short distance.

However, giving up was not an option either.

She pondered whether to find a doctor to help recuperate once she finished filming the show.

Or maybe she could learn to make some medicinal foods on her own.

Internal and external cultivation for quick effect, she really couldn't stand her current body, so weak that her former self could slap it flying with a single hit!

While deep in thought, a hearty laugh came from ahead.

"Girl, you're up so early!"

Jiang Lingxi came back to her senses, recognizing the person approaching was the jovial lady who warmly invited her to join the table last night, "Out for a run, and you're early too, Auntie."

"Oh, us country folk are up as soon as the rooster crows. Usually, we sleep early and rise early. I'm off to weed the field while the sun hasn't risen, and just in time for breakfast when I return. You haven't had breakfast yet, have you? You look so pale, why not come to my place for breakfast?"

"Thank you for your kindness, but I won't bother you for breakfast, the production crew should have my meals prepared."

"Alright then, but when you're not busy, come by my place. It's the first house at the village entrance. Also, I think you should stop running, you look so pale I'm a bit afraid you'll faint while jogging."

Jiang Lingxi chuckled at Auntie's straightforwardness, nodding with a bit of self-mockery, "I am indeed a bit weak, so I'll just walk back."

"Not only weak but thin too. I saw your colleagues yesterday, right? Except for that young man, you girls are all too skinny, you eat like little birds."

"Yes, but yesterday I had two bowls of rice with your chicken and mushroom stew."

"Was it good?"

"Delicious, Auntie's cooking was amazing."

"If it's good, eat more, aim to gain some weight. You look pale without any color on your lips, you really are quite weak. Oh," Auntie suddenly slapped her forehead, "I just thought of someone, I heard there's an old traditional doctor from the Imperial City living here in his old age. He's retired here, and people around visit him even for minor ailments. Girl, would you like to see him and hear what he has to say?"

She worried the girl in front wouldn't believe her, "Girl, it's no brag, this area may be remote, but the vibes are truly nurturing, otherwise why would the old doctor leave the big city to retire here."

Jiang Lingxi looked at the enthusiastic Auntie sincerely considering her well-being, smiling and nodding, "Okay."

This is what you call a pillow given right when you feel sleepy.

Regardless of whether the old traditional doctor is skilled or not, we'll see when the time comes.
