Retired for A Hundred Years: Re-Employment for the Apocalypse Bigshot!-Chapter 117: Sister Ning, You’re Serious?

[What the hell! What did I just see??????]

[Base’s red seal!!!]

[Jiuming Mountain Base??? Is it the Jiuming Mountain I know?]

[Wow, what is Ye Tong’s status? She can even do a physical test at the base?]

[Fake, right? The crew is really pulling out all the stops to clear their name!]

[Fake? Try forging a base seal yourself? You’ll get caught in no time.]

[Just for this report, I support the crew’s decision to change the role.]

[Having served for several years, Jiuming Mountain Base is notoriously strict in Hua Continent, and the test report is of high value. This Ye Tong sister is definitely the real deal.]

[Suddenly, I really want to see Ye Tong as Yan Fei, can’t the crew release a snippet?]

...

Ye Tong and Bai Xiaotang, who were also watching the live broadcast, were stunned into silence as they saw the comments in the broadcast room doing a complete turnaround due to a physical test report.

Finally, Bai Xiaotang concluded, "It seems Sister Ning saying we’re too weak wasn’t without reason. Only when our strength is undeniable, all rumors can be shattered."

The fans known as ’Rose’ saw the sudden change in public opinion and no longer dared to criticize Ye Tong for her low physical level, all turning to attack Feng Zhong for breaking the contract by changing the role.

Feng Zhong didn’t fear them and openly stated in the live room, "The decision to replace Lin Wei was made by me, the reason for which Lin Wei is well aware. She’s welcome to confront me directly. As for whether it’s a breach to change the role, the legal team of the crew will communicate with Lin Wei’s team. I can only tell you now that I am the director, and I have to be responsible for my production and the audience..."

The strong stance of the crew and Feng Zhong not only did not damage public relations but instead earned them a good reputation and anticipation.

Before the press conference ended, three posts had already trended.

...

"Whew... finally solved." Bai Xiaotang breathed a sigh of relief for Ye Tong.

Ji Ning rolled her eyes at her, "Solved?"

Ye Tong’s face immediately turned serious. She was under the most pressure now, as the crew and Director Feng had already made bold claims for this crisis management, she had to give it her all to play Yan Fei’s role well.

So, she not only had to hone her acting but also practice martial arts with Ji Ning.

"Sister Ning, I will work hard." Ye Tong said with both hands clenched into fists, full of determination.

Ji Ning seemed somewhat satisfied and sent a text back to Fu Yuanxuan.

[We have to stay on the top of Jiuming Mountain for half a month.]

The opposite side soon called her, and Ji Ning left Ye Tong’s room, heading to the deserted rooftop on the second floor.

"What are you planning to do now?"

"What? Use me and then want to shake me off?"

Fu Yuanxuan instantly thought of the time he taught Bai Xiaotang to lie to conceal his identity and replied with slight unease, "Half a month is too long, I can’t decide."

"Then find someone who can and have them talk to me."

"Ji Ning, don’t go too far!"

"Fu Yuanxuan, if you keep stalking me, you’ll never complete the mission."

Fu Yuanxuan’s expression tightened, "What do you know?"

Ji Ning chuckled lightly, "Is the superpower user really the murderer who killed those eight people?"

Fu Yuanxuan’s eyes narrowed slightly, coldness radiating from within.

"Fine, I agree, but you must help me find the real killer!"

***

Artists’ Lounge.

The lead actors of the "Gone with the Wind" crew were also watching the crew’s press conference.

Seeing Feng Zhong present Ye Tong’s physical report from Jiuming Mountain Base, they all exchanged glances.

"This Ye Tong, underestimated her. Being able to produce a base-certified report, no one in the circle will dare question her strength now." The actress playing the second female lead seemed to be talking to herself, with a trace of sarcasm in her tone.

Wang Yanyan lowered her gaze, picking at her fingers, feeling relieved.

Luckily, she hadn’t listened to Yan Jing’s instigations to kick someone when they were down, otherwise she’d surely be in an awkward position.

"Speaking of which, why haven’t we seen Assistant Director Yan these past few days? Has he really been fired by the director?" The actress playing the second female lead glanced around at the others, asking gossipily.

Gu Lin happened to know about Yan Jing’s outcome for certain reasons, but he didn’t enjoy discussing others’ affairs behind their backs, so he directly got up to leave, "I’m going outside to smoke."

"Wait for me, I’ll go get some fresh air too." Wang Yanyan likewise stood up, picked up her coat nearby, and draped it over herself.

The two left the artists’ lounge one after the other, by now it was late, and outside, besides streetlights, there was hardly anyone on set. Everyone seemed to have gone to watch Feng Zhong’s live broadcast.

Wang Yanyan took the cigarette that Gu Lin handed her, placed it in her mouth, lit it, took a light puff, then slightly raised her head to look at Gu Lin, "What background does Ye Tong have?"

Others might not know, but she did know about Gu Lin’s background, supposedly he had connections with the Gu Family in Beijing, thus his networks and status in the entertainment circle were unattainable by others. If she wanted to know something, if others didn’t, he surely did.

But Gu Lin exhaled lightly and answered blandly, "I don’t know."

"You’re really boring!"

Wang Yanyan pursed her lips, stopped talking, and leaned against a pillar quietly smoking.

The night sky at Jiuming Mountain was beautiful, starlight dotted the night canvas above, a sparkling galaxy could be seen.

This was a sight that couldn’t be seen in the bustling big cities.

Gu Lin smoked, looking into the distant sky, said softly, "Did you see that video?"

"Which one?"

"The video where she sparred with Lin Weiwei."

Wang Yanyan thought about it, not very concerned, "That person wasn’t Ye Tong."

"I know it wasn’t her." Gu Lin glanced at Wang Yanyan, continued, "That was Advisor Ji."

"Ji Ning?" Wang Yanyan looked somewhat surprised, it was her first time hearing this information.

"From what I know of Lin Wei, she couldn’t have taken any of Ji Ning’s attacks in the video."

Wang Yanyan frowned slightly, "But she did take many, only got kicked away by Ji Ning at the end."

"That’s the strange part."

Gu Lin said just enough, extinguishing his finished cigarette, pulling his coat tidier, and walked away.

Wang Yanyan was still puzzled, what did he mean?

"Mysterious..."

"Yan Yan..."

Wang Yanyan looked towards the door and saw her assistant waving at her excitedly.

Wang Yanyan’s eyes lit up immediately, she ran over, lowered her voice, and asked with surprise, "Is there news?"

"Yes, Director Lin is indeed filming near Jiuming Mountain. And it’s said he’s auditioned several actresses, including Li Xiaoxiao from Tiansheng Entertainment, Gu Yuan personally took her to audition."

Wang Yanyan felt tension rising within her, "Did she pass?"

"I don’t know. What I found is that Li Xiaoxiao suddenly went to audition yesterday, probably trying to confirm the lead actress before our press conference."

"Such an old fox."

Wang Yanyan immediately thought of things Yan Jing had told her before, and cursed Tiansheng under her breath.

"Xiao Ying, no matter what happens, we need to meet Director Lin tomorrow."

"But Director Feng said we’re filming Jiuming Mountain’s exterior scenes tomorrow..."

Wang Yanyan looked at the stars in the sky, her eyes slightly sparkling, "I have a plan."
