Retired for A Hundred Years: Re-Employment for the Apocalypse Bigshot!-Chapter 100: Ye Tong Is Doomed!

The sudden concern left Ye Tong somewhat flattered.

This was the first time an actor had worried about her getting hurt, leaving her a bit at a loss.

"No."

Wang Yanyan smiled, picked up the water prepared by her assistant, and went over to her.

"Here, have some water."

"Thank you."

After Ye Tong sat down, Wang Yanyan casually said, "Xiaotong, our shoot tomorrow might be delayed."

"Hmm? Why?"

Wang Yanyan shrugged, "The venue changed unexpectedly."

"Did Director Feng say when we would shoot?"

"No. You know what Director Feng is like, he can make everyone wait for days for a single shot."

Wang Yanyan sat back down, somewhat frustrated, and complained, "Waiting isn’t the problem, but I have to attend an event in a few days. I’ve already told the brand, and if I can’t go, it’ll be a breach of contract and an enormous compensation..."

"Compensation?"

"Yeah, did you think endorsements were easy to get?" Wang Yanyan propped her chin on her hand, blinking her beautiful eyes.

"What should you do? Can you talk to the director again?"

Wang Yanyan shook her head helplessly, "No, Director Feng is very stubborn and won’t change his mind easily. Unless..."

Wang Yanyan stopped and glanced at her, then shook her head again, "Forget it, this method won’t work."

"What method?"

Ye Tong saw her looking at her, understanding a bit that the method might involve her, and couldn’t help but ask, "Do you need me to do something?"

"No... you just focus on acting well. It’s my fault for bringing this up." Wang Yanyan waved her hand, looking aside.

This behavior made Ye Tong more convinced that the method involved her. She put down the water bottle and walked over, saying seriously, "Yanyan, I know the method you’re talking about might have something to do with me. Just tell me, and I’ll see if I can help you."

Wang Yanyan sighed, a bit helpless, "It indeed has a little to do with you, but if it’s difficult for you, you don’t have to do it."

"Hmm, I understand, just tell me."

"You know where tomorrow’s shoot is, right?"

Ye Tong nodded.

"I heard that Tiansheng Entertainment’s gold broker Gu Yuan has family working at the base, which is why the revolutionary drama Tiansheng is shooting receives strong support from the base. So... if Gu Yuan could speak to Director Feng, perhaps we could shoot tomorrow."

Wang Yanyan saw the difficulty showing on Ye Tong’s face and continued, "But you also know that due to the casting change with Yan Fei, Director Feng and Gu Yuan have had a falling out. Lin Wei’s fans are still criticizing the crew online, so asking Gu Yuan for help is almost impossible..."

"Indeed, it’s hard." Ye Tong nodded.

Wang Yanyan took a sly look at Ye Tong and seeing her glance over with a difficult expression, said, "That’s why I said to just forget it."

Ye Tong nodded again, picked up the water bottle, and walked over to an empty makeup table, responding, "I guess we’ll just wait. Maybe we’ll be able to shoot in a few days."

Hmm???

Wang Yanyan was a bit surprised, staring at Ye Tong’s back in confusion.

Is she genuinely clueless, or just pretending?

Ye Tong looked at herself in the mirror, her gaze gradually turning cold.

Sister Ning had taught her that when people show care without reason, they’re either plotting or stealing.

Do they think she’s easy to trick into approaching Gu Yuan?

Seeing that Ye Tong wasn’t taking the bait, Wang Yanyan left the break room angrily.

After she left, Ye Tong breathed a sigh of relief, took out her phone, and called Ji Ning.

The coldness on her face instantly turned into a smile, "Sister Ning, where are you? I’ll meet you at the entrance."

Leaving the break room, Wang Yanyan walked briskly to her car, her face sullen. Just then, her assistant finished a phone call.

Wang Yanyan quickly asked, "How about it? What did Sister Xu say?"

"Sister Xu said she’ll talk to Director Feng soon, don’t worry."

Wang Yanyan breathed a long sigh of relief, but when she thought about Ye Tong’s clueless demeanor, her expression darkened again.

The assistant, knowing her temperament, patted her on the shoulder, concerned, "Who upset our Yanyan?"

"It’s that Ye Tong. I can’t tell if she’s truly dumb or just pretending. I underestimated her before."

The assistant was a bit surprised since Ye Tong was like an invisible person in the crew, hardly liked by anyone.

"What did she do..." The assistant didn’t finish the sentence as she saw Ye Tong walking out with her phone, "Yanyan, isn’t that Ye Tong? Where’s she going?"

"Who cares what she’s doing?"

"Yanyan, look, is someone visiting her on set?"

"How could that be? She’s a nobody, where would..."

Wang Yanyan scoffed disdainfully, but when she saw the jeep parked beyond the safety line, she swallowed her words.

It was Ye Tong, the invisible crew member, running to the jeep, opening the door, and getting in.

"Isn’t that a base car?" the assistant suddenly asked.

Wang Yanyan then noticed the jeep’s license plate, its color different from regular ones, the first letter marking it as a base vehicle.

"So, she also has a base background? No wonder Gu Yuan compromised a little and didn’t completely break off with our crew."

The assistant’s words made Wang Yanyan very uncomfortable, her gaze towards Ye Tong filled with anger.

She could have helped, but instead pretended to be clueless in front of her. What a...!

Furious, Wang Yanyan pushed open the car door, ready to step out.

Just then, the assistant added, "Yanyan, since she has a base background, why not ask her to put in a word for us at the base?"

Wang Yanyan paused, suddenly realizing something, her eyes lit up, and she immediately went to find Feng Zhong.

***

Not far away in the car, Ye Tong happily hugged Bai Xiaotang, excitedly chatting like a little girl.

This idle chatter made Lin Yuanyang roll his eyes, cranking the music volume in his headphones to the maximum.

Ye Tong, holding her phone, quietly asked for confirmation, "Can we really visit the idol’s grave?" 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

"Of course, the park opens today."

"But, I heard it was cordoned off and had warning lines up."

"Cordoned?"

Bai Xiaotang looked at Fu Yuanxuan in confusion, only to hear him say, "It won’t affect us."

"Then it’s fine," Bai Xiaotang asserted confidently.

Fu Yuanxuan couldn’t help but smile.

Fu Yuanxuan’s car smoothly passed three or four checkpoints without obstruction, easing Ye Tong’s worries completely, and raising her suspicions about Fu Yuanxuan’s identity.

Suddenly, it was like a flash of light struck her.

She suddenly connected his surname to something profound, her mind struck as if by lightning, looking at Bai Xiaotang in disbelief, and was stunned for a long time.

"Sister Xiaotong, what’s wrong?"

"N-nothing... just feeling a bit dizzy..."

"Huh? Are you carsick? Brother Fu, stop the car, Sister Xiaotong is carsick."

"N-no need..."

"It’s alright. Step out for some fresh air."

Bai Xiaotang couldn’t wait to open the car door to let Ye Tong out as soon as the car stopped.

They were on Pan Mountain Road, with only Fu Yuanxuan’s car passing through.

On both sides were lush maple trees, their reds seemed painted by a brush.

Bai Xiaotang was instantly captivated by the surroundings, couldn’t help saying to Lin Yuanyang still in the car, "Xiao Yang, get down here and take our pictures."

Lin Yuanyang was reluctant, yet used to being "enslaved" by three girls, had no say and obediently got out of the car.

Because Ji Ning was also forcefully dragged out by Bai Xiaotang for a group photo.

The three girls stood by the roadside, Ji Ning in the middle, Ye Tong and Bai Xiaotang on either side, each grabbing an arm, going into crazy posing mode.

Behind them were layers of mountainous landscape, red and yellow ridges towering under the blue sky.

Lin Yuanyang set up the Smart Brain screen, aimed at the three of them, snapped several shots, and gave Bai Xiaotang an OK hand gesture.

Soon, Bai Xiaotang and Ye Tong couldn’t be stopped.

They dragged Ji Ning into various poses along this section of Pan Mountain Road, tiring Lin Yuanyang until his face was as dark as a pot bottom.

"Are these women blind? Can’t they see these sceneries are all the same?"

Fu Yuanxuan sympathetically patted his shoulder.

Thus, Fu Yuanxuan’s car stopped frequently along the road, stretching a 30-minute journey into nearly two hours.

"Xiao Yang, we want photos over there too..."

Lin Yuanyang rolled his eyes, trudging along weakly.

"Coming..."
