Even After My Death-Chapter 213 - 149 Jiang Ning’s Hardships (Two in One)_2

[Upstairs, the Douban rating of that drama has plummeted from 8.7 to 5.1 in this period...]

Hearing Wang Ye’s invitation once more, Jiang Ning chuckled and shook her head, "Director Wang, I really don’t know how to act."

She had never thought of entering the entertainment industry before, and knew absolutely nothing about acting. Even her initial agreement to participate in this variety show was motivated by the idea of beating Mu Mingxuan up.

After the show, she had planned to continue her simple life, one that she could see the end of at a glance...

"It’s okay if you don’t know! I can teach you, it’s very simple!" Wang Ye replied eagerly, his tone resounding with conviction.

[If other actors heard this, they’d be crying and fainting in the bathroom]

[Exactly, everyone knows how picky Director Wang is about acting, notoriously strict to the point of infamy]

Jiang Ning nodded, "Okay, after we leave here, I’ll come to audition for you."

Wang Ye nodded and was about to say it didn’t matter, that he could wait for her to think it over for a few more days when he suddenly realized that Jiang Ning wasn’t rejecting him this time, she was agreeing!

Wang Ye’s nod halted, then joy lit up his face, happily looking at Jiang Ning, "You agreed? Hahaha, great, great! Once we leave here, you’ll come to audition, and I’m sure you’ll pass!"

Without cell phones, Wang Ye stuffed his business card, which he had prepared in advance, into Jiang Ning’s hand, "This is my private contact information."

Fearing that she might lose a single business card, Wang Ye gave Jiang Ning several more, just to be safe.

Seeing this, Jiang Ning carefully put them all away.

"Congratulations, Director Wang, you finally got your wish," Jian Tiantian, who had witnessed everything, said with a smile.

Nong Chun chimed in as well, "Yeah, these past few days, apart from fishing and contemplating the script, Director Wang has been thinking every day about how to make Sister Jiang agree, and now he’s finally succeeded."

Wang Ye was the happiest among them. Seeing Jiang Ning storing his business cards safely away, he curiously began, "By the way, when you all go out each day, are you hunting? Why do you also bring machetes?"

On hearing Wang Ye’s question, Jian Tiantian and Nong Chun, who were clearing up the remains of the meal at the dining table, also pricked up their ears instantly.

This was a question they had also been curious about for days but had never asked.

They had previously thought that Jiang Ning and Qi Xingzhou went out hunting because almost every time, Jiang Ning would bring back some meat, like rabbits and chickens, and sometimes other seafood as well.

But, with Jiang Ning’s abilities, did hunting really take that long?

When she had gone hunting by the beach before, her trips into the forest lasted at most a little over an hour, hardly ever two hours, and she would bring back the game.

Over the past few days, Nong Chun and the others had a vague sense that Jiang Ning and Qi Xingzhou might be up to something else, but because Jiang Ning hadn’t brought it up spontaneously, they felt too embarrassed to ask.

Jiang Ning looked down at what she was holding in her hands, perfectly composed, "Hunting is just by the way. Xingzhou and I have sawed down quite a number of trees in the forest, aiming to build a raft or a wooden boat."

"A raft!"

Wang Ye, Nong Chun, and Jian Tiantian exclaimed in unison.

Even Huo Miao, hiding around the stairwell’s corner, widened her eyes in surprise.

"Mhm mhm," Jiang Ning nodded, seeing nothing strange about it.

She glanced at them and said, "If you’re interested, you can come take a look later, or you can try building one yourselves."

It had to be said, with Qi Xingzhou’s help, their progress was much faster than what Jiang Ning had initially envisioned.

She and Qi Xingzhou had sawed down more than fifty trees in the past few days, all trimmed straight and smooth. If they were to build a raft, they only needed to arrange them in order and then tie them tightly together with thick hemp ropes and vines... Well, it sounds simple, but it’s actually a big project.

"Let’s go, let’s go! I want to see!" Nong Chun was the first to raise his hand in agreement, then he looked at Jian Tiantian guiltily, "Tian Tian, how about we wash the dishes when we get back?"

"Yep, yep," Jian Tiantian couldn’t have been more eager because she wanted to see too!

Just like that, after Jian Tiantian and Nong Chun put the dishes and silverware into the kitchen, the three of them followed Jiang Ning and Qi Xingzhou out of the attic, impatient to head toward the forest.

Only after their figures had vanished did Huo Miao, standing in the stairwell, finally snap back to reality.

A raft!

A wooden boat?

Does Jiang Ning intend to set sail?

That’s utterly absurd!

Huo Miao subconsciously wanted to scoff at Jiang Ning’s whimsical delusions.

Stranded on this desolate island, surrounded by the boundless ocean, how could she possibly sail across the sea on a raft or a wooden boat? Did she think she was Sun Wukong?
