Chapter 348: A Simple and Crude Calculation

Chapter 348: Chapter 348: A Simple and Crude Calculation

The four words successfully prepared Jing Huai, who had seized the opportunity to rush over and express his attentiveness, but couldn’t control his stiffened expression.

The next second, just as he took a water cup out from his bag, he looked up and saw someone actually daring to snatch work from him. Lu Zhengzheng unceremoniously shouldered aside, letting out a cold snort with a look of dissatisfaction, "I’m the assistant still standing here. Jing Teacher, are you treating me as invisible?"

After saying that, she handed over the cup while glancing disdainfully at the jasmine flowers, which were not fully steeped and floating in Jing Huai’s disposable paper cup, looking quite dismissive. "Do you really think our Sister Xixi drinks any kind of tea? Sister Xixi has always preferred the tea I brew. Jing Teacher, you’d better keep that jasmine tea for yourself!"

They simply didn’t care for it!

Jiang Lingxi swallowed the barely acceptable tasting honey green tea in her mouth and couldn’t help but glance sideways upon hearing this.

The latter words didn’t need to be so absolute.

However, since it was said for Jing Huai to hear, she decided not to mind it.

Jing Huai was so nearly made to spill his water from Lu Zhengzheng’s bump, and then upon hearing Zhengzheng’s sarcasm, he almost couldn’t maintain his gentle facade for a moment.

It wasn’t until he saw someone standing in a corner who gave him an ’OK’ hand signal that his mood slightly improved. With a good temper, he placed the cup beside Jiang Lingxi and, adhering to the rule of acting fully, said, "You continue with your makeup, I’ll go ahead."

Jiang Lingxi didn’t even spare him a look.

However, Lu Zhengzheng showed her reaction quite evidently, rolling her eyes repeatedly at Jing Huai’s retreating back. Once the makeup artist finished her touch-ups and left with her tools, Zhengzheng couldn’t help but whisper her disapproval, "Sister Xixi, what does he mean by this? Does he really think of getting attached to you? What benefits can he possibly gain by running over here so shamelessly and trying to show off?"

Jiang Lingxi glanced at the now non-steaming cup of jasmine tea beside her, then swept her gaze over to a hastily departing figure, her eyes turning slightly cold: "A wolf with a wild heart."

Even during the morning’s program recording, she had noticed several times that the person would unobtrusively glance at the judges’ seats where Li Wanxuan was seated. When Li Wanxuan came onto the stage to critique works, the person was sneakily trying to edge closer. While she was speaking to Li Wanxuan, there were two occasions where he tried to cut in and strike up a conversation, attempting to get acquainted, though at the time no one planned to pay any attention to that certain someone.

She watched coldly from the sidelines, and by the end of the morning, her heart was as clear as a mirror.

He intended to approach Li Wanxuan through her, or rather, to approach Li Wanxuan’s son, Shi Changrui, through Li Wanxuan.

As for the purpose, it was crystal clear!

The earlier rumor about Zhang Nachuan calling An’an his granddaughter, this person probably also found out about it unexpectedly, likely making some calculations in his heart.

Filled with sinister schemes, with eyes seemingly grown onto his forehead, yet failing to see what insignificant role he actually plays!

If such a character existed in her past life and dared to use her as a stepping stone with such clumsy tactics that were beneath notice, had she noticed, the grass over his grave would have grown tall by now.

Jing Huai really should be grateful for this current society that allows him to live so well!

Lu Zhengzheng immediately nodded in agreement upon hearing this metaphor, "His wolf-like ambition is evident. Sister Xixi, you’re so clever, did you figure something out?"

Jiang Lingxi only nodded at her, "Hmm, I’ll tell you when we get back."

Lu Zhengzheng quickly glanced around; with everyone returning after lunch, it indeed wasn’t the place to discuss this matter. She blinked and covered her mouth, indicating she wouldn’t say more.

However, shortly after holding back, she recalled something rather important, "Oh right, Sister Xixi, did you tell Mr. Shen about the hot search?"

Mr. Shen absolutely must not misunderstand about this!

"Not yet," Jiang Lingxi gently shook her head. Seeing the girl impatient for her sake, she laughed and said, "But undoubtedly, he probably already knows."

Regardless of whether that certain person deliberately spread the word in the judges’ dressing room before the program recording, just by Shen Yunqing’s occasional glances at Jing Huai during the morning recording, as well as targeting that seemed unintentional to everyone else but apparent to her, she really couldn’t believe Shen Yunqing knew nothing about the hot search.

Lu Zhengzheng looked at the calm face in front of her and almost wished she could just go over and drag someone back, "You should hurry and find a chance to explain to Mr. Shen, you shouldn’t delay such matters."

Although after urging, she thought for a moment and realized she couldn’t blame Sister Xixi, as too much happened that morning, leaving no spare time to explain to Mr. Shen!

"Don’t worry, he won’t believe it."

Moreover, based on her understanding of Shen Yunqing, probably, as soon as he knew about the hot search, he would have already acted, preparing to help her retaliate.

After all, that’s what she plans to do next.

Now that she’s sure of Jing Huai’s motives, how could she not retaliate?

Tolerating this guy a minute longer is testing her patience!

And Shen Yunqing understands her well enough.

Besides, regarding the dream she had last night, she wants to verify it with another party involved.

Only then did Lu Zhengzheng completely relax.

She really has worn herself out over Sister Xixi and Mr. Shen’s love!

She deserves to quietly give herself a pat on the back!

Jing Huai, having just subtly exchanged a glance with Xu Qingmei to indicate that things had been handled on his end, suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.

Looking instinctively, he met a pair of eyes giving away no trace of emotion, and with just one glance, he hurriedly averted his gaze.

Glancing down, he noticed the palm he had just opened was already drenched.

"It’s fine. The person earlier was very discrete, being separated by so many people, definitely won’t be detected."

After silently reassuring himself, he finally managed to regain a bit of composure, proceeded to the position where the recording had been paused, and stood ready.

Xu Qingmei hadn’t detected anything. Although she had just entered into a cooperation with Jing Huai around noon, time was tight. Once the program finished recording, everyone would be going their separate ways. Despite having multiple tactics, she was limited by this, opting for a straightforward, forceful approach.

Jing Huai’s actions had been swift, leaving it to her to act next.

Approaching Shen Yunqing from the front, she twisted the ring on her finger, feeling a tiny electric shock enter her body, causing her to lose balance, her high heel twisting sharply underneath her, sending her tumbling forward at a calculated angle.

Shen Yunqing was turning his head to talk to Shen Huchen when he sensed a rush of overpowering perfume. He looked up to find a startled face almost crashing into him and immediately pulled Shen Huchen, who was yet to react, swiftly back a step.

"Bang!"

With a dull thud, the previously noisy stage and audience instantly fell silent!
