Retired for A Hundred Years: Re-Employment for the Apocalypse Bigshot!-Chapter 113: And What About Ji Ning? How Well Do You Know Her?

Chapter 113: Chapter 113: And What About Ji Ning? How Well Do You Know Her?

"Hmm. She helped me get into the base."

Bai Xiaotang took the opportunity to repeat what Fu Yuanxuan had taught her.

Chang Ru furrowed her brow even deeper, "But..."

"We’ll talk about it later."

Bai Xiaotang forced herself to stay calm and glanced at the driver ahead.

Chang Ru swallowed her question back, her face looking even more displeased.

A sudden feeling of impending loss of control.

This feeling was quite vexing.

Chang Ru held it back all the way, and after checking in, she couldn’t wait to ask, "Tangtang, be honest with me, does your ability to get into the base have anything to do with Fu Yuanxuan?"

Bai Xiaotang was taken aback.

How did she know?

Is Sister Ru aware of something?

"Who is Fu Yuanxuan?" Ye Tong suddenly interrupted Chang Ru’s question.

Chang Ru frowned slightly, with a quick flash of discontent in her eyes.

Bai Xiaotang adjusted her mindset, widened her eyes, and asked innocently, "Sister Ru, why bring him up all of a sudden?"

Chang Ru scrutinized Bai Xiaotang’s face, seeing that she seemed genuinely unaware, her brow furrowed even deeper.

Could it be that Fu Yuanxuan had returned to Beijing?

"It’s nothing. Let’s talk about the online rumors first."

Bai Xiaotang felt a sigh of relief as Chang Ru finally shifted focus from the base issue.

She shot an appreciative glance at Ye Tong.

Earlier, Sister Xiaotong had been worried about her slipping up and had taught her how to control her facial expressions and appear innocent before meeting Sister Ru, and it seemed to have worked now.

"All the things said online are rumors. What does changing the director’s cast have to do with Sister Xiaotong? Besides, my Sister Xiaotong is the one who genuinely auditioned, and the director agreed to sign her only after seeing her ability."

Chang Ru looked at Ye Tong with a hint of scrutiny in her gaze.

She spoke blandly, "Your looks are quite promising, it’s a bit of a waste to be suppressed like this. I can help clear your name..."

"Really?" Bai Xiaotang joyfully grabbed Ye Tong’s hand.

But Ye Tong remained calm, looking straight at Chang Ru, "What’s the condition?"

"Sign a contract with my film and television company, and I will ensure you become a movie queen."

The atmosphere instantly became much heavier.

The smile on Bai Xiaotang’s face gradually faded as she looked at Chang Ru in confusion, just about to speak, only to be stifled by Chang Ru’s words.

"Apart from your relationship with Tangtang, I am personally optimistic about your future. But I am a businesswoman, and from a business perspective, if I help you get rid of these troubles, you will also have to help me make money. It’s fair, don’t you think?"

Ye Tong fiddled with her fingers, not immediately agreeing, "Can I think about it for a moment?"

"Sure."

Ye Tong wore a contemplative look, opened the door, and walked out.

In the entertainment industry, without a company and team, it’s impossible to continue developing.

She couldn’t remain an extra forever, it’s too far from her goal.

But Tangtang’s cousin seemed quite complicated, would signing with her affect her friendship with Tangtang?

Just as she was entangled, her phone suddenly rang in her pocket.

Ye Tong took it out and saw three words on the screen: Sun Yazhu.

"Hello, Sister Yazhu..."

"Xiao Tong, why didn’t you tell me about such a big matter?" The woman’s voice on the phone was very pleasant, with a tone full of care.

"You’re being too distant. If Ji Ning hadn’t asked me about Jia Ying, I wouldn’t have known you were being blackened online. Don’t worry, I’ll handle this for you..."

"Ah, thank you... It’s a bit tricky, Sister Yazhu, you don’t need to..."

"Don’t worry, no one dares to mess with people under my care. Once it’s resolved, treat me to a meal, I’m coming to Anhe soon. You and Ji Ning clear your schedule, I want to enjoy authentic Anhe cuisine..." Sun Yazhu’s tone shifted from mild and gentle to decisive, like a strong woman.

Perhaps this was her true self.

That’s great...

After hanging up the phone, the stone pressing against Ye Tong’s chest suddenly vanished.

Her eyes reddened, she covered her face and squatted down, silently crying.

Meanwhile.

Bai Xiaotang was in a terrible mood, fiddling with the Smart Brain Chain in her hand, contemplating whether to message her brother.

"I know your relationship is good, but Tangtang, one must be cautious, how do you know she’s not around you because of your Bai Family heiress status?" Chang Ru sat in a chair inside, lifting her head slightly to admire her newly done nails.

"Sister Xiaotong wouldn’t do that. If she was after my status, she would have agreed when I offered to set up a film company for her."

Chang Ru laughed softly, turning to glance at her.

That look seemed to say: You’re too naive, you don’t understand the dangers of the adult world.

Bai Xiaotang clenched her fists, biting her lip, "I’m not a child anymore. I can tell right from wrong. Sister Xiaotong is different from those people."

"Alright, then what about Ji Ning? How much do you know about her? Her identity was mysterious when she came, and now you tell me she’s from the base. Does someone from the base need your help to go to school?"

Bai Xiaotang’s heart surged with panic, she immediately replied, "She has a mission."

"What kind of mission?"

"It’s of course a secret mission. Sister Ru, why are you so interested in the base?"

Chang Ru paused, her eyes squinting into slits, looking at the seemingly transformed cousin before her.

Bai Xiaotang instinctively felt scared, but recalling the ways Ye Tong had taught her to deal with Chang Ru, she straightened her posture and widened her eyes to stare at her.

"Sister Ru, what are you looking at?"

"Nothing, just realized that our Bai Family heiress has grown quite a bit."

"That’s..."

Before she could finish, there was a knock on the door from outside, by Ye Tong.

"Knock, knock, knock..."

Bai Xiaotang immediately opened the door for her, a trace of worry on her face, whispered, "Sister Xiaotong, have you made up your mind?"

Ye Tong patted her hand, entered the house, and looked at Chang Ru.

Chang Ru remained seated in the chair, supporting her head with one hand, chuckled, "So, have you decided?"

"Yes. I don’t plan to sign, but thank you for your help."

Chang Ru, who seemed confident in her victory, froze with the smile on her face, "What did you say?"

Ye Tong glanced at Bai Xiaotang, and said resolutely, "My friend will help me resolve this issue. So I won’t be signing."

The smile on Chang Ru’s face faded, "Are you sure about this? The two largest investors in the ’Gone with the Wind’ production are connected to Tiansheng. Without my help, you might not get past this project."

"Yes, I’m sure. I trust my friend, and I’ll work hard to clarify the rumors. If I truly can’t overcome this hurdle, then perhaps I’m not cut out for this path."

"Alright..." Chang Ru laughed indignantly, clapping her hand against the chair several times, then suddenly raised her voice, "Bai Xiaotang!"

Bai Xiaotang flinched, "S-Sister Ru..."

"I want to rest now. You can leave."

"Ah, okay. Goodnight, Sister Ru." Bai Xiaotang immediately pulled Ye Tong’s hand and walked out.

Chang Ru watched the closed door, her fingers on the armrest turning white.

"Find out who’s helping Ye Tong? And add some weight to it!"
