After Being Blackened All Over the Internet, I Ruled the Military Variety
Chapter 189: Recommending Pei Xinyuan

Chapter 189: Chapter 189: Recommending Pei Xinyuan

"Nothing more."

The two people in the room exchanged silent glances for a moment, and ultimately it was Shen Yunqing who was the first to back down.

"Have a good rest."

Jiang Lingxi watched him stand up and leave, unable to suppress a slight smile at the corners of her mouth.

Until she looked at the information in her hands again, her gaze returning to severity.

Jiang Xiyu managed to slip away quickly, but as long as she wanted to stay in this entertainment circle, after all, she could escape the monk but not the temple.

Her intuition told her that this Mei Shuiqing was the key point.

It’s just that, based on the recording she heard before, the other person might directly abandon that address and choose to leave, finding another place to lie low.

It was likely to be a long game of strategy ahead.

Fortunately, she now had plenty of patience.

*

Early the next morning, all the test results were out.

Thankfully, aside from some minor issues left by the original body, such as an upset stomach, everything else was normal.

The tense group finally breathed a sigh of relief and returned to the film set in a grand procession.

In the car.

Jiang Lingxu looked at the assistant’s special bag, which Lu Zhengzheng only had him carry for a day before taking it back, "Sister, should I continue being an assistant?"

With the official assistant back, he, this temporary assistant, probably wouldn’t be needed, right?

Jiang Lingxi had actually forgotten about this matter. She turned her head to look at her eager younger brother, "The band you joined..."

"It’s called Burn, which translates to burning." Speaking of this, Jiang Lingxu instantly perked up, pulling out his phone and tapping a few times before holding it up to Jiang Lingxi, "Sister, look, this is a recording I helped make when they performed at a bar, and this is a song they wrote themselves."

Jiang Lingxi squinted as she watched the somewhat shaky video on the screen. The bar’s lighting was dim, and she could vaguely make out four boys of similar age, wearing clothes she couldn’t quite understand the appeal of, three of them playing three different instruments, and one holding a microphone screaming his heart out.

After watching the less than four-minute video, to be honest, she felt her mind buzzing, and even a little amazed: Rarely has she encountered a language she couldn’t understand despite listening attentively.

After a moment of silence, seeing Jiang Lingxu about to play another video, Jiang Lingxi pressed down on his hand, "Is this the kind of music you want to make?"

Jiang Lingxu scratched the back of his head, "The theme of that song was venting, but I actually want to write more positive lyrics. I’m trying, and they’re all very supportive of me."

Jiang Lingxi, not quite understanding what that noisy song was venting about, didn’t pretend to understand, "Do you think joining Burn will let you learn what you want to learn?"

"Yes!"

This reply came confidently, decisively, and without hesitation.

Jiang Lingxi tapped on her own phone a few times, "Let me listen when you write a song."

As soon as she put down her phone, Jiang Lingxu’s phone chimed with a notification the next second.

"Transferred ten thousand, hooray for my sister!"

Listening to Jiang Lingxu’s cheering, Jiang Lingxi calmly nodded.

Who would have thought the word ’hooray’ would come out of her little brother’s mouth again in this world.

She just felt that as a young boy, he still had the chance to make mistakes.

"But you promised to be a temporary assistant for three days, not a day less."

Jiang Lingxu nodded vigorously like a pecking chick.

A daily wage of over three thousand as an assistant, how could he afford to slack off? Immediately, he thumped his chest and promised, "Sister, whatever you ask me to do, I’ll do it."

The car stopped outside the courtyard rented by the film crew.

As soon as they entered, Jiang Lingxi and her group caught the eyes of many people.

Some actors who had worked with them before came over to say hello and express concern. By the time Jiang Lingxi walked to the makeup room, it was already ten minutes later.

She hadn’t even had the chance to put on makeup when she saw Wei Xiao rushing over through the makeup mirror.

"You’re back. How’s your health? If you’re feeling unwell, don’t push yourself."

Jiang Lingxi pointed to the mirror, "Don’t worry, director, I won’t joke about my own health."

Seeing her rosy complexion and energetic demeanor, Wei Xiao was relieved, "Then go ahead and put on your makeup. I’ll step out first."

He specifically came to check on their leading lady, but in reality, he was quite busy, primarily because he hadn’t found an actress to fill the role of Qing Yuan yet, which even caused him to lose a few strands of hair.

"Director Wei, please wait."

Jiang Lingxi asked the makeup artist drawing her eyebrows to pause, turned around to call him back, "Yesterday Minmin visited me at the hospital and said you were looking for a suitable actress for Qing Yuan."

Wei Xiao instinctively nodded, then suddenly realized that Jiang Lingxi wouldn’t bring this up for no reason. Remembering the Mr. Shen recommended by this girl, he spoke with added anticipation, "Do you have someone suitable in mind?"

Outside the door, She Man was about to step inside but paused and then casually walked in.

"Good morning, Director Wei. Xiaoxi, you’re here so early. Are you feeling better?"

"Thank you for your concern, Sister Man. I’m fine now."

"That’s good." She Man smiled and walked to her makeup table, as her own makeup artist began to work on her.

She subtly pricked up her ears, squinting as she listened to the conversation next to her.

Jiang Lingxi’s voice came from the side, "The person I want to recommend, Director Wei, you also know, Pei Xinyuan."

"Pei Xinyuan?" Wei Xiao instinctively repeated, "But she’s your body double right now; if she plays Qing Yuan, who will be your double?"

"Anyone can be a double, Pei Xinyuan just happens to fit better, but the role of Qing Yuan needs the right person to play it."

Wei Xiao couldn’t help but laugh, "You really think that highly of that young girl?"

"She’s more suitable than Jiang Xiyu."

The certainty in that tone made She Man involuntarily glance over.

She usually didn’t pay attention to any doubles, barely even remembering her own, but Jiang Lingxi’s double left a rare impression.

Firstly, the young girl seemed to be a fan of Jiang Lingxi, getting very excited every time she got close.

Secondly, the role of a double, well since it doesn’t show the face, the basic requirement is to get the movements right. Very few people would go out of their way to act well as a double. Yet, Jiang Lingxi’s backup, that young girl named Pei Xinyuan, was an exception. Her enthusiasm easily caught people’s attention.

But even so, She Man never thought Jiang Lingxi would recommend Pei Xinyuan.

Going from a double to Qing Yuan, already part of the main cast, is a leap that could be described as reaching the sky in one step. Even if Jiang Lingxi was trying to do a favor, there was no need to go this far for a simple double!

She Man was filled with misunderstanding at the moment, just as she saw Director Wei seriously consider it for a moment and then nodded, "Then I’ll have that girl give it a try."

Maybe, like with Mr. Shen from before, it could give him another pleasant surprise.

She Man: "..."

This really was one daring enough to recommend, and the other daring enough to accept!
