Chapter 244: Chapter 244: Hot Search Query

In a rush and a hurry, the scenes on Wanchao Street are finally finished before the sky turns completely dark.

Shen Yunqing managed not to let anyone notice that he had a high fever again last night.

Even Wei Xiao, who had been sitting in front of the monitor watching him act, only thought he was a bit tired from filming continuously for two days.

"There are no scenes for the Prime Minister in the next three days, Mr. Shen can go back and rest well."

After bidding farewell to Wei Xiao, Shen Yunqing found Jiang Lingxi, who was taking off her hairpin.

He casually took a gold hairpin handed over by Jiang Lingxi, "I plan to go over there personally."

Jiang Lingxi paused in her actions, frowned, and looked over.

"You need to rest."

"It’s okay, I can rest tonight, and also tomorrow on the plane. Wu Jue alone is a bit weak, and remote assistance from here is inconvenient. Besides, there’s a branch of the Shen Corporation over there, I can find a legitimate reason to meet with the hospital executives."

Jiang Lingxi clearly felt the change in Shen Yunqing.

If before his confession, he was still cautious in what he did, now after revealing his identity, he acted without hesitation.

"This matter is urgent, the sooner it’s resolved, the better."

"Stay safe and keep in touch. Retreat if you sense danger; it’s not like it used to be."

In the past, she had plenty of people working for her, but now, she can’t afford to lose anyone.

Shen Yunqing smiled, placing the gold hairpin back into Jiang Lingxi’s palm, "Alright."

Watching the white RV drive away, Jiang Lingxi asked Lu Zhengzheng for her schedule for the next few days, and after reviewing it, she went to find Wei Xiao.

"I think we can add a few more scenes to this schedule."

Given the crew’s current efficiency, she estimated it would take about two months to finish filming all the scenes.

However, she now felt she could still handle it, so the efficiency could be improved.

Wei Xiao, who had only heard actors complain about being too tired and wanting to shoot more slowly, never expected such a competitive suggestion: "..."

If these words got out, the other actors in the crew would hate you!

"I’ll think about it."

"Sister Tong, working late again, huh!"

Tong Yue, holding a stack of files, looked at Li Yuwen, who was greeting her with a smile, slightly puzzled as to why the other party suddenly greeted her.

Actually, not only the stars and actors in the entertainment industry would fight desperately for a role or a resource, the competition between managers was equally fierce.

The manager’s responsibility is to lead the artists they are in charge of, to seize various opportunities for the artists’ development, and the better the artists’ careers develop, the higher the manager’s status will rise with the tide.

She and Li Yuwen joined the company around the same time. At that time, the company was in its early days, with not many signed artists. They joined early and had the power to choose the artists they wanted to manage.

She chose Jiang Lingxi, who was the most beautiful among the female artists at the time, while Li Yuwen chose the most outstanding male artist.

Years passed, and although Jiang Lingxi was the most beautiful, her personality was really not suited for the entertainment industry, often involved in scandals, always lingering beyond the third-tier.

The artist chosen by Li Yuwen, on the other hand, was obedient, with a good personality, steadily progressing in these years, already firmly holding a second-tier position and advancing into the first-tier, regarded as the top artist in the company.

Due to their respective artists, the status difference between her and Li Yuwen in the company became apparent. However, Li Yuwen was busy flying around every day, so they barely met at the company, and even if they did, they just nodded and went on with their tasks.

This was the first time she’d seen Li Yuwen greet her so warmly.

Though she was a bit puzzled inside, Tong Yue calmly responded, "Just sorting through a few decent announcements before leaving."

Jiang Lingxi performed well in the previous "Survival" live show, and now she’s in Wei Xiao’s production as the lead actress. The company, which originally planned to give up on her, probably has renewed hope and sent a few resources her way.

Tong Yue was determined to sort through them carefully, trying to pick the best ones, and didn’t mind working overtime for it.

"Your Jiang Lingxi is finally making a breakthrough," Li Yuwen didn’t care about those resources in Tong Yue’s hand, her focus was on another resource already used, "It’s a case of slow and steady wins the race."

"Yes," Tong Yue looked satisfied, "This girl finally figured things out this year."

"It’s thanks to your prowess, Sister Tong, even snagging the national TV variety show resource."

Looking at Li Yuwen’s face, which didn’t seem to be faking her compliments, Tong Yue was bewildered, "National TV variety show? What national TV variety show?"

The smile on Li Yuwen’s face stiffened slightly, "We joined the company together, Sister Tong, there’s no need to play dumb with me."

Tong Yue: "..."

She wasn’t pretending; she was genuinely confused now!

"I really don’t know about a national TV variety show, where did you hear that from?"

Li Yuwen took a deep breath, simply pulled out her phone, and opened a trending topic already making its way to mid-tier.

"This is already trending, Sister Tong, you wouldn’t still be unaware, would you?"

Tong Yue widened her eyes, staring at the phone screen in front of her.

Trending topic 33: [Hilarious! How bold is Jiang Lingxi to dare go on ’Inheritance · Go’!]

"Inheritance?"

This time, before Li Yuwen could act, Tong Yue eagerly clicked on it.

The first item in the topic was a promo image and text forwarded by a netizen.

Blue V account, "Inheritance" program group: Amateur player Jiang Lingxi against the genius player Zhang Linxi from R country, tonight at 8 o’clock sharp, on the national TV "Inheritance · Go", stay tuned!

Also attached was an image: a game board occupying almost the entire picture, with only two hands holding pieces seen at the corners.

Scrolling down revealed all the netizens’ discussions.

But almost all were filled with skepticism.

[Is this Jiang Lingxi the actress one? I refuse to believe that woman can play Go!]

[The opponent is R country’s Zhang Linxi, anyone slightly informed about Go should know who this person is, the champion of the last World Go Championship. It must be the same name, can’t be the actress one.]

[Don’t speak so defiantly, what if it’s the Jiang Lingxi we know?]

[Then I’ll eat my keyboard standing on my head, I don’t believe that Jiang Lingxi can beat Zhang Linxi, humans have limits, and Jiang Lingxi has shown me that the prettier one is, the less brains they have.]

[Jiang Lingxi can play Go, I’d say it’s even doubtful if she can play Gobang, if she really dares to go on this program, it’s just asking for humiliation.]

[Some celebrities really have no self-awareness, even losing face for popularity. Everyone can match themselves to that!]

...

Tong Yue did find a few comments speaking up for her artist, but compared with the endless skepticism, if she wasn’t looking closely, she couldn’t even see them.

Seeing this, she knew how this trend took off, entirely due to the criticism from netizens and haters.

"Sorry, I need to excuse myself for a moment."

She now only wants to call Jiang Lingxi to verify this!
