After Being Blackened All Over the Internet, I Ruled the Military Variety Shows-Chapter 70 Why is it Jiang Lingxi Again

When Jiang Xiyu slipped and fell into the swamp, Jiang Yuting was so panicked and flustered that she even booked a ticket to the filming location.

She couldn’t just let her cash cow go down like that!

Only when she saw Jiang Xiyu being rescued did she finally breathe a big sigh of relief.

But when she saw Jiang Xiyu actually teaming up with Jiang Lingxi and the others, Jiang Yuting felt her vision go black.

A few seconds later, she regained her composure and gritted her teeth, "Might as well just give up directly!"

Now is also a good time to quit, an overreaction during the show is an easy explanation.

But wanting to team up with Jiang Lingxi and the others, isn’t that just asking for trouble?

She wanted to remind her but couldn’t, so Jiang Yuting could only rage helplessly for a while and then continue to watch patiently.

She no longer hoped for Jiang Xiyu to have any outstanding performance in this episode of the show; she just hoped she wouldn’t embarrass herself too much!

Until the phone rang.

Seeing the caller, Jiang Yuting swiftly exited the live stream and answered, "Sister Lan, how about it, does my Xiyu have a chance?"

"Hard to say," the voice on the other end carried a hint of difficulty, "You know, Director Wei is always picky when it comes to choosing actors. Once he chooses someone he likes, not even the sponsors can change his mind, let alone me, a mere assistant director. Moreover, this time the drama being prepared, although it’s a series, is the biggest investment in years and the one Director Wei values the most. It’s aimed at being a blockbuster. Anyway, from what I see now, Director Wei wants to personally oversee even the smallest roles, let alone your Jiang Xiyu wanting the second female lead."

Though somewhat disappointed, Jiang Yuting did not give up.

Jiang Xiyu’s performance in the survival reality show flopped, and her fans not only didn’t increase but were gradually dwindling. The company’s promised business endorsements have now said to wait, how could she not be anxious!

But if she could secure a role in Director Wei’s new drama, none of these issues would matter!

"Sister Lan, our Xiyu’s acting skills are really good, directors she’s worked with before have praised her for being very talented. And this is a historical drama, she has a classic look, I must trouble you to speak well of her in front of Director Wei. If the second female lead doesn’t work, we can accept the third or fourth female leads." Pausing, she gritted her teeth and promised, "If this happens, I surely won’t treat you poorly!"

After speaking, she silently comforted herself: think of the benefits if it goes well, the initial effort couldn’t even be called effort, it’s a highly rewarding investment!

"Well, I’ll try my best," perhaps moved by the last promise, Sister Lan’s tone softened, "But let me make it clear, without Director Wei’s approval, any other promises don’t count. Also, there’s one thing I thought I should let you know, Director Wei mentioned Jiang Lingxi’s name a few times in recent days, but didn’t say anything more. I can’t be sure if Director Wei is interested in Jiang Lingxi."

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Yuting’s face was already full of gloom.

Jiang Lingxi, Jiang Lingxi again!

Why is she everywhere?

It’s like a ghost that won’t go away!

She needs to find someone to probe Tong Yue’s intentions, see if they’re eyeing the same drama!

Unbeknownst to her, Tong Yue was saying the same thing at that moment: "This Jiang Xiyu is indeed a ghost that won’t leave, if she had any sense, she’d know to quit, yet she dares to cling onto Little Xi holding them back. Such thick skin!"

Lu Zhengzheng rubbed her back, "Sister Tong, don’t get angry, we already know that Jiang Xiyu’s thick skin isn’t just a recent thing."

Tong Yue’s tone was mocking, "True, if she hadn’t debuted under the title ’Little Jiang Lingxi,’ she would still be unknown. Surviving with thick skin till now, that’s quite the feat."

Lu Zhengzheng’s gaze fell on Yu Hui standing in the corner of the screen, "I don’t know if it’s just me, but I feel Yu Hui’s less enthusiastic about Jiang Xiyu than before."

Tong Yue wasn’t surprised at all, "Stars are just normal people, Yu Hui used to see the haloed Jiang Xiyu in front of the cameras, now they’re in close proximity, naturally, her flaws would be magnified. This is the shattering of the goddess filter, serves her right!"

Lu Zhengzheng suddenly understood, "I see, that explains his change. But I think Xixi now isn’t much different from how she is on camera, just two words, perfect!"

Tong Yue was amused, "She isn’t right in front of you, no need to praise her so strongly."

"Not praising, just stating facts."

Fortunately, Jiang Lingxi didn’t disappoint her assistant’s praise and expectations.

Generally, when there are more people in a team, different opinions easily arise.

You don’t eat this, he doesn’t eat that, some feel it’s time to rest others think they can move on, some believe they should go left while others prefer right.

If opinions differ, discussions might even turn into arguments.

Yet the five-person team at that moment was harmonious.

Even if Jiang Xiyu was dissatisfied, she could only hold it in.

She looked at the leadership-exuding figure in front of her, feeling increasingly unsettled.

Earlier, when traversing the swamp, they split into two groups to find a path.

Jiang Lingxi took Kai Yuan, while Xu Zhao went with Yu Hui, just ’considerately’ leaving her in place, with nothing to do but wait.

In the end, Jiang Lingxi’s side successfully found a path through the swamp, and before leading everyone safely across the dangerous area, she even erected a wooden sign that said ’Beware of Swamp Ahead.’

Watching from the side, she wished time could go back half an hour.

When teammates went to find a path earlier, why didn’t she think of making that sign?

But she didn’t expect there was still more unexpected to come!

It was afternoon when they crossed the swamp, and they luckily stumbled upon a fairly clear water area, so they decided to rest there.

There was water and a few fish in the waterbody, but with five people, fish alone clearly wasn’t enough, they needed more prey, and more firewood had to be collected too.

Jiang Xiyu was assigned the easiest and simplest task of gathering firewood, when she was about to go, she especially waited for Jiang Lingxi, thinking she should also be part of this task.

Otherwise, could Jiang Lingxi really catch fish or hunt?

Yet she immediately saw Jiang Lingxi looking like she was about to head out hunting with Xu Zhao.

After hesitating a few times, she couldn’t help but ask, "Lingxi, aren’t you coming with me to collect firewood?"

Before Jiang Lingxi could answer, the straightforward Xu Zhao replied, "Having Jiang Lingxi collect firewood would be a waste of talent, she’d better come with me to hunt, with more prey, we can all eat well."

Even without a mirror, Jiang Xiyu could feel how ugly her face must be at that moment.

Saying Jiang Lingxi gathering firewood would be a waste, then what about her, does it mean she’s only fit for firewood collection?
