After Being Blackened All Over the Internet, I Ruled the Military Variety Shows-Chapter 113: Acting Teacher

The Emperor cannot display his whims outwardly, but Jiang Lingxi can.

So, early the next morning, Tong Yue saw a rather low-pressure Jiang Lingxi.

She turned her questioning gaze to Lu Zhengzheng, who had gone to pick up the person early in the morning.

Lu Zhengzheng hurriedly gave a subtle wave, indicating that she was just as clueless.

Only heaven knows an hour ago when she brought breakfast to pick up someone, and saw Sister Xixi with a toothbrush in her mouth glancing sideways, she nearly knelt down with weak knees and even wanted to defend herself: it wasn’t that she wanted to disturb early in the morning, it was entirely work forcing her!

The two of them silently began to communicate subtly through glances.

Lu Zhengzheng: ’Could it be that the meeting between Sister Xixi and Mr. Shen last night was a bit unpleasant?’

Tong Yue: ’I guessed that too.’ The fact that she cooked and ate alone yesterday was evidence.

Lu Zhengzheng: ’Then how do we comfort her?’ Regarding Mr. Shen, whom they were completely unfamiliar with, she found herself utterly at a loss for words.

Tong Yue: ’I’m worried about that too. I hope this doesn’t affect today’s class.’ Especially when today is Jiang Lingxi’s first meeting with the teacher; if the first impression is poor, subsequent communication would be difficult!

Jiang Lingxi interrupted their silent exchange of looks.

"Sister Tong, has the teacher arrived?"

Tong Yue hurriedly glanced at her watch, "She should be here soon. You sit for a moment and have a drink of water. I’ll go welcome her." Saying that, she hurriedly left the lounge.

Lu Zhengzheng quickly poured a glass of water, "Sister Xixi, here’s some water."

Jiang Lingxi took it and gave a second look at the little assistant who, with every movement, seemed inherently cautious. She rarely explained, "I am indeed not in a great mood, but it’s not directed at you, so there’s no need to be so tense."

This voluntary explanation made Lu Zhengzheng feel like today’s cloudy weather was suddenly a bit brighter. After quietly breathing a sigh of relief, she hesitated for a moment before bravely speaking up, "Sister Xixi, if there’s something bothering you that you want to talk about, you can tell me. I’m reasonably good at helping others feel better."

Jiang Lingxi nodded slightly, "Hmm, but this time, what’s bothering me is something you can’t help with."

Lu Zhengzheng: "...Oh!"

As a little assistant, it seems she still needs more effort.

Halfway through a glass of water, two approaching footsteps were heard outside the lounge door.

Jiang Lingxi put down the cup and just stood up to look towards the door, which had just been pushed open from the outside. Tong Yue walked in, accompanied by an elegantly dressed woman whose age was hard to determine with a vintage style.

Tong Yue waved to Jiang Lingxi and smiled steadily and warmly, "Little Xi, come here and let me introduce you. This is Teacher Cheng Wan."

"Teacher Cheng, this is the artist I represent, Jiang Lingxi."

As soon as Teacher Cheng entered and looked over, Jiang Lingxi had already stepped forward towards her.

After all, it’s reasonable for the student to greet the teacher first; there’s no such thing as the teacher taking the initiative to greet the student.

The royal family is a model of etiquette for all people to follow, and respecting teachers is ingrained in one’s bones.

Even though this teacher was only there to teach her acting for a few days.

But the necessary respect was still needed.

"Teacher Cheng, I will trouble you for the next few days with your guidance."

Since Tong Yue had already arranged for a teacher, and the lessons were acting, Jiang Lingxi was genuinely prepared to seriously learn how to act.

Without any surprise, her future career would be closely related to acting.

Cheng Wan gazed at the girl in front of her, who had slightly bowed and straightened up, with a glint of admiration in her eyes.

Exquisite appearance, captivating figure, and rare was a few touches of unyielding toughness amidst feminine grace, simply the finishing touch.

She had not seen a girl with such a unique demeanor for a long time!

Actually, when Tong Yue came to her and mentioned that her student was Jiang Lingxi, she was somewhat hesitant.

After all, the girl’s reputation in the circle had never been good, even though she knew that gossip in the entertainment industry was mostly fabricated, she had no shortage of diligent students, with or without Jiang Lingxi.

Adding to that was her lack of acting skills, Cheng Wan was afraid Jiang Lingxi might become the downfall of her teaching career.

What if she was stubborn as a mule?

Reluctantly, due to Tong Yue’s sincere attitude and a few old connections vouching for her, Cheng Wan agreed.

But she still stated beforehand that if she and Jiang Lingxi couldn’t get along, they wouldn’t force each other.

Only until now, seeing her in person, thinking about having guided no fewer than three-digit actors in her career, including even actors and actresses, during which Jiang Lingxi wouldn’t be any less outstanding in terms of appearance and figure.

In this entertainment industry, looks and figure are often the stepping stones, no wonder this girl remained in the circle even with poor acting skills.

If she could fill this gap in acting under her guidance... Just by thinking about it, Cheng Wan felt somewhat exhilarated.

Seeing retirement on the horizon, if she could guide yet another actor or actress, it would also provide a fulfilling ending to her career.

Of course, the prerequisite was that this girl had this perception and would listen.

Now that both sides met, the first impression was very favorable, and she sensed Jiang Lingxi’s genuinely inquisitive attitude, Cheng Wan lightly plucked a chord with a smile, "Time is tight, less than a week, so I will arrange the classes intensively. Miss Jiang, be prepared."

Jiang Lingxi: "Please rest assured."

Cheng Wan raised an eyebrow, "Good, then we won’t waste time. Where is the class going to be held? We don’t need a large space, but it must be quiet and undisturbed during class."

Tong Yue had already prepared for this, "I’ve already booked the classroom, it’s on the same floor, not far from here. Teacher Cheng, Little Xi, follow me."

Lu Zhengzheng noticed that nobody called her, so she gestured to herself.

Should she go too?

Tong Yue noticed and beckoned her, waiting for Lu Zhengzheng to run to her side and softly instructed, "While Teacher Cheng is teaching Little Xi, you just stay quietly aside, keeping quiet, and only need to serve tea and water when they’re tired or thirsty. Be observant; I shouldn’t need to remind you of these, right?"

Lu Zhengzheng nodded like a pecking chick. fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm

After opening the classroom door with the newly obtained access card, Tong Yue went in first, checked that it was still clean as it was, then turned to make a welcoming gesture, "Teacher Cheng, see if this classroom is okay? It’s in a quiet corner, and I specially arranged for it to be cleaned yesterday, it’s ours for a week."

Cheng Wan glanced around, nodded: "It’ll do. I forgot to mention, since this is primarily about filming costume dramas, one of the courses will require some ancient style instruments, like guzheng, lute, and flute. These aren’t needed for actors to play them in scenes, but they must know how to pose best with them, even broken ones are fine."

Tong Yue immediately replied, "I’ll apply right away."

It’s just a few instruments, she was determined not to fall short on these things.

Jiang Lingxi watched her hastily turning back, swallowing the words she wanted to say.
