Chapter 269: Chapter 269 Xu Qingmei is Also One of Them

Jiang Xiyu gave a dry laugh, wanting to say she didn’t need her care now, but then she heard the voice of Little Peach on the phone: "Sister Xiaoyu, where are you now? I’ll come over to find you."

For a moment, Jiang Xiyu almost misheard it as ’I’ll come over to claim your life,’ and she shivered uncontrollably under the hot sun.

If possible, she even wanted to directly fire Little Peach over the phone. Although she would lose a punching bag, this Little Peach, who was taken away by her aunt for a while and then brought back, felt too eerie to her; just hearing her voice gave Jiang Xiyu goosebumps.

But when the words reached her mouth, she swallowed them back with difficulty.

Now her aunt was suffering from backlash and was in retreat to heal. Little Peach was accurately released back by whoever arranged her work over the previous phone call. Not to mention, these people could easily get her into the "Qingcheng Legend" crew, showing their significant influence.

If she fired Little Peach immediately after she came back, and it offended those in charge, what if they got mad and kicked her out of the crew too?

She had just managed to connect with Xu Qingmei today, and leaving the crew now would mean all her efforts were wasted.

She absolutely couldn’t let such a thing happen now!

So, she could only keep Little Peach by her side for now.

"I’ll send you the location. Come and find me now."

After finishing the call, Jiang Xiyu closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and silently persuaded herself that she was just enduring humiliation for a greater purpose. Someday, there would come a day when she would reach Xu Qingmei’s height, or even stand higher than Xu Qingmei!

Hang up the phone, Little Peach opened the location Jiang Xiyu sent her, and upon seeing the position of the small green dot on the map, she raised her eyebrows in surprise.

It was actually inside a hotel at the Imperial City Film Studio.

But she remembered Mr. Shen said Jiang Xiyu had injured her leg and had to leave the crew to rest at home. Could it be she’s gone back?

"No, this isn’t the hotel for the ’Yuan Zhao Empress’ crew."

Although she hadn’t been with Jiang Xiyu for many days, she clearly remembered that the hotel rented by the ’Yuan Zhao Empress’ crew wasn’t called this.

But it was true that she was currently in a hotel inside the film studio. So after picking up her luggage and getting into a taxi, Little Peach pulled up Jiang Xiyu’s homepage on her phone.

Knowing Jiang Xiyu well, she would never miss an opportunity to boost her popularity. Whether it was a new endorsement or a new job, she would post an update immediately, always very active.

This time was no exception, and she quickly found the answer.

The pinned post was a resharing.

"Tagging ’Qingcheng Legend’, thanks to Director Lin for the opportunity. Tagging Xu Qingmei, Master above, please accept the disciple’s bow." The reshare was from the official ’Qingcheng Legend’ account announcing Jiang Xiyu joining the crew.

Little Peach couldn’t help but take a deep breath.

Jiang Xiyu managed to enter ’Qingcheng Legend’ again, and surprisingly got the role of the female lead’s disciple.

What did Jiang Xiyu do to deserve this?

Though she couldn’t believe it, when she stood in front of Jiang Xiyu, she didn’t show any anomaly and genuinely congratulated her: "I just heard that Sister Xiaoyu got the role of Yu Xin, congratulations, Sister Xiaoyu!"

But her words only reminded Jiang Xiyu of how she got this role, making her forcedly smile and probe, "You were gone for more than half a month, not only lost weight but also got more eloquent, huh?"

Little Peach, without missing a beat, responded, "This time I went back to see my mom, and she reminded me that there’s no harm in sweet-talking the boss. Sister Xiaoyu, do you think I did a good job?"

Jiang Xiyu: "... You did, very well."

Next time, better not say it again, just stay in the corner like before, like a mushroom would be just fine.

The daylight brightened up, and the entire film studio became lively, with various crews starting their work one after another.

Jiang Lingxi arrived at the crew early for her makeup and costume session, and Lu Zhengzheng was about to get breakfast for her and Xu Ling’an from the crew, as usual, when she was called to stop.

"Just get the breakfast for you and An’an. If the share for me can be eaten by you two, bring it back. Otherwise, don’t bother."

Lu Zhengzheng was stunned for a moment, then quickly reacted, "Mr. Shen is coming back to the crew?"

Jiang Lingxi responded with a faint smile.

Lu Zhengzheng shrank her neck from the smile and turned to run.

Soon, Lu Zhengzheng came back carrying two plastic lunch boxes, and Jiang Lingxi’s phone on the table buzzed appropriately.

She glanced at the message that had just arrived, stood up, "Take your time eating, I’ll be back soon."

Xu Ling’an and Lu Zhengzheng waved their hands in unison.

"Sister, go ahead, don’t keep brother-in-law waiting."

"Don’t rush, Sister Xixi. I just passed by the set and asked, today’s scene will take about an hour more to be set up, you and Mr. Shen can take your time eating."

Jiang Lingxi: "..."

She felt the expressions on their faces were a bit off, but couldn’t find evidence for it.

Not far from the crew, Jiang Lingxi spotted that familiar RV.

As she approached the RV’s door, it just happened to open, and looking up, she saw that tall, slender figure.

Shen Yunqing looked at Jiang Lingxi’s outfit for today and without thinking, greeted with a favored title: "Your Majesty."

Jiang Lingxi paused in her movement to get in, "You’re not wearing a costume, call me Miss Jiang."

Shen Yunqing changed his tone smoothly: "Miss Jiang."

Only then did Jiang Lingxi nod slightly, and after getting in, walked past him directly to the small table already laid out with breakfast not far away.

It was worth coming on an empty stomach!

Then it was time for a harmonious breakfast.

One person focused on eating, while the other discreetly helped with the dishes.

The two of them managed to finish all the breakfast on the table without wasting a bit.

After eating, they sat back on the sofa, Jiang Lingxi sipped some tea to cleanse her palate, and half-closing her eyes, she lazily said, "Yesterday, the ’Qingcheng Legend’ crew suddenly announced Jiang Xiyu joining. This should be the job provided to Jiang Xiyu by that person. I originally suspected the director of ’Qingcheng Legend,’ Lin Ying, was with them, but only confirmed last evening that it wasn’t Lin Ying, it was Xu Qingmei."

"Xu Qingmei?" Shen Yunqing mused, "And Jiang Xiyu, both are actors. It seems that those people have been quite targeted with their choice of support."

Jiang Lingxi looked up at him, "First Jiang Xiyu, now Xu Qingmei. I suspect there might be others in the entertainment industry working for them."

"Very possible." Shen Yunqing felt the one lounging on the sofa was like a contented big cat and resisted the urge to scratch the big cat’s chin, "Before coming back, I heard from Wu Jue that the luck of celebrity actors, while not comparable to high-ranking officials and the wealthy, outstrips the latter in terms of influence and winning people over. Those people may have motives related to this."

Jiang Lingxi: "... They sure have a lot going on! By the way, is Little Peach back too?"

"Yes, she’s back with Jiang Xiyu."

"Then we can look forward to the power of hatred for now."
