After Being Blackened All Over the Internet, I Ruled the Military Variety Shows-Chapter 107: Never Stop Until the Goal is Reached

Looking at the granddaughter who was surprisingly shocked to the point of speechlessness, Gao Lan raised her eyebrows slightly, "Didn’t you send a message last night? They replied this morning when you went to your self-study. I just casually asked for the girl’s name. Look, Jiang Lingxi.

At that time, I felt like it sounded familiar, but I couldn’t recall where I had heard it. Coincidentally, a nurse came to change my dressing, and when she heard me mumbling, she casually asked if I also followed Jiang Lingxi. That’s when I remembered the girl from this ward who was discharged a few days ago after breaking her arm. While she was hospitalized, she was always holding a phone, mentioning this name several times. No wonder it sounded familiar. So, I simply searched, and this is what you see now."

Xu Ling’an stared fixedly at the photos displayed on her grandmother’s phone screen. As the most circulated photo, the first one Gao Lan found was the one widely hailed by netizens as a divine image of Jiang Lingxi with Zai Zai.

After hearing her grandmother’s words, she couldn’t help but murmur, "Sister is so gentle with little animals!"

Upon hearing this, Gao Lan raised her eyebrows, it seemed to be true.

She had just found out that Jiang Lingxi was the name of a big celebrity, and she instinctively thought that the girl didn’t want to reveal her real name and just borrowed the well-known star’s name.

After all, in her impression, big stars are always high up and rarely appear in front of ordinary people, let alone running off the car on a rainy day to help a passerby who almost fell.

But now An’an had confirmed it for her, that girl really was the big star named Jiang Lingxi.

Nodding, she mumbled along, "It seems there are still more good people in this world!"

The voice of her grandmother by her ear jerked Xu Ling’an back to reality from the photos, "Sister is actually a big star?"

However, thinking about the stunning face she saw up close yesterday, it’s indeed a pity if she wasn’t a star.

Without waiting for her grandmother to respond, she nodded to herself, "Sister is beautiful and kind-hearted."

Gao Lan: "..."

This is the first time she’s seen this girl can’t stop praising someone, it seems she’s truly smitten now.

Luckily, it’s a sister, not a brother, so she’s still approving.

The grandmother and granddaughter finished lunch together in the ward, Xu Ling’an napped a little on the hospital bed, and before heading back to school, she remembered something and quickly turned to remind her grandmother, "Grandma, you have to keep the number sister gave me strictly confidential so no one other than us sees it. Also, don’t use her name as a note; in case the phone gets lost, it could be troublesome. And..."

Gao Lan listened with a chuckle and interrupted, waving her hand, "Alright, alright, I have eaten more salt than you have eaten rice; I’ve considered all that, no need to remind me. Hurry back to school or you’ll be late, and remember to take the bus in this heat."

Xu Ling’an was reassured only after confirming the note on her grandmother’s phone was ’Little Jiang’ before leaving the house.

One can’t blame her for being so cautious; she may not be a star-chaser, with neither the time nor interest, but she heard from classmates about the severe consequences caused by the exposure of a celebrity’s private number. She didn’t want to cause such troubles for her sister due to her own negligence.

However, having never chased stars before, she decided she would from now on.

Just this one!

Jiang Lingxi was unaware that she had gained a new little fan quietly following her. She spent nearly a day watching most of the films directed by Wei Xiao that Lu Zhengzheng helped her search for.

She had formed an opinion: he was incredibly talented, or perhaps it’s better to say he was meant for this line of work.

His tragic stories were compelling; other genres were also outstanding, unconventional and not specialized, but each film could be considered a masterpiece, which requires some know-how.

Moreover, whether in storytelling or macro-control and micro-operation, she couldn’t find any faults.

At least in directing, as Tong Yue said, he was extraordinarily gifted.

"So, after watching for an entire day, have you gained any insights?"

Jiang Lingxi closed her eyes briefly; her eyes were a little sore from staring at the screen for so long. She then looked at Tong Yue, who had just sat down, and nodded, "They are indeed quite excellent films."

"Of course. Can I steer you wrong? The acting teacher has also been arranged. I originally left you two days to rest, with classes starting officially the day after tomorrow, but now we can start tomorrow and save a day’s lesson fee. What do you think?"

"I’m fine with that."

Tong Yue clapped her hands happily, "Then it’s settled. Class starts at nine tomorrow morning, and remember, don’t be late. That teacher hates latecoming students."

Seeing Jiang Lingxi nod and recalling the time she arrived at the company today, Tong Yue felt at ease, "Just come at about the same time as today. It’s almost dinner time, why not go out to dinner together, sort of like a belated welcome dinner, and after eating, let Zhengzheng take you home."

Upon hearing it was almost dinner time, Jiang Lingxi looked at the clock on the opposite wall, which read 5:30 PM.

"No, I have some personal matters later; let Zhengzheng get off work on her own."

Tong Yue paused and nodded, "That’s fine, go handle your personal matters first, but don’t forget there’s class tomorrow. We can reschedule dinner for another day when you’re free. By the way, do you want the driver to take you?"

Having a driver would be convenient, but considering where she needed to go, Jiang Lingxi thought it over and declined, "No need."

Tong Yue suppressed her curiosity when she heard even a driver wasn’t needed, "See you tomorrow then."

"See you tomorrow."

When Lu Zhengzheng finished her tasks and returned to the break room, she found only Sister Tong was there, "Sister Tong, where’s Sister Xixi? Weren’t we supposed to have dinner together tonight?"

"Your Sister Xixi had personal matters to attend to and just left. We’ll reschedule dinner. That’s all; I don’t need any more help from you today. You can head home."

"Personal matters?" Lu Zhengzheng frowned and pondered, "I remember before filming the ’Survival’ program, Sister Xixi mentioned having some personal matters to handle and didn’t take me along. Could it be now that..."

Thinking of a certain possibility, Lu Zhengzheng locked the break room door before speaking, "Sister Tong, at this hour, could it be that Sister Xixi went to meet Mr. Shen? After all, ever since Sister Xixi got injured, she and her husband haven’t seen each other for some time."

Tong Yue’s fingers paused on the keyboard, "Well, it’s not impossible. Wait, what did I tell you before? You’re forbidden from discussing anything related to Mr. Shen, so why haven’t you learned your lesson?"

Lu Zhengzheng fiddled with her fingers, "I made sure to close the door."

Tong Yue glared at her, "Even so, it’s not allowed."

Feeling wronged, Lu Zhengzheng nodded, "Oh."

However, given what Lu Zhengzheng mentioned, Tong Yue felt a bit more concerned.

If the two really have gone on a date, they need to keep it covert.

Considering Jiang Lingxi’s current popularity, if she’s accidentally spotted by a recognizable passerby or fan, her manager will have a hard time handling the PR fallout!

Ironically, Lu Zhengzheng’s wild guess hit pretty close to the mark.

Jiang Lingxi was indeed planning to meet with her nominal husband, especially given how during her last visit, she hadn’t even caught a glimpse of him, leaving her to return reluctantly with nothing.

And she is not one to give up easily without accomplishing her goals!

This marriage matter, she has to get to the bottom of it!
