Retired for A Hundred Years: Re-Employment for the Apocalypse Bigshot!-Chapter 119: Ji Ning Actually Dares to Make Up History?

Chapter 119: Chapter 119: Ji Ning Actually Dares to Make Up History?

The moment those words were spoken, everyone around was stunned.

Ye Tong stared at Ji Ning in disbelief, "Sister Ning... do you know him?"

Ji Ning smiled, pinched her cheek, and looked at Lin Anqing, "Director Lin, I’m not interested in acting. This is the friend I want to recommend for the audition."

Oh my god? She actually recommended someone else?

Everyone’s eyes nearly popped out, watching back and forth between Lin Anqing and Ji Ning, thoroughly enjoying the drama.

Ye Tong couldn’t believe what she heard until Ji Ning gave her a push.

Ji Ning gave her a look, and she immediately understood her intention. She was deeply moved and quickly adjusted her facial expression, looking at Lin Anqing with anticipation.

Lin Anqing was very conflicted at the moment. The girl’s acting skills truly impressed him earlier. If it weren’t for Ji Ning, he might have really considered letting her audition, but a director and actor must also have a sense of connection and vision.

Ji Ning was his first choice. If she doesn’t play the female lead, he would regret it for life.

"She can audition for another role; my female lead is only suitable for you," Lin Anqing insisted stubbornly.

Ji Ning was a bit helpless, tapped the Smart Brain screen, and released a light screen.

"The script you sent me, I believe it requires at least three people to properly portray this character."

"Three people?" Lin Anqing was a bit surprised.

He was certain that the script he finalized with the screenwriter had two people playing the female lead: one for her childhood and one for her adulthood. Why was there a third?

Ji Ning flipped through a few pages of the script and circled several paragraphs in red: "Your script mainly focuses on the story of the female lead’s childhood and adult years. From what I understand, Chairman Ji suffered a severe facial injury at 16, leading to significant personality changes. The founding of Anhe Base was decided during this period. So, it makes sense for two people to play the grown-up female lead, while Ye Tong’s current state is perfect for the role before 16."

"There’s such history?" Lin Anqing fell into thought.

Beside him, Feng Zhong and Ye Tong silently gave Ji Ning a thumbs up.

To create an opportunity, Ji Ning dared to make up history?

Ji Ning glanced at them and continued, "This history isn’t made up; page 183 of ’Ji Ning’s Inspirational Quotes’ subtly mentioned her being scratched by a mutant bat. Combining this with content from ’The Biography of Ji Ning’ and other books, it can be inferred that the injury was on her face. In the chaotic times, toxins carried by mutant beasts were deadly. Even with superpowers, she could only save her life. Completely detoxifying was a long and painful process."

"But..."

"If you wish to verify history, you can check the Beijing Virus Research Institute’s records. They likely have documentation of a virus named NH-18, the hardest to treat carried by mutant animals in chaotic times."

Ji Ning spoke with such certainty it seemed real.

Ye Tong’s sly smile waned a bit.

Lin Anqing became sidetracked by Ji Ning’s remarks, given that he became famous for respecting history in his ’War God’ series, "Miss Ji, are you available now? Can you talk to me more about this?"

Ji Ning nodded slightly.

Everyone at the film site watched the backs of Ji Ning and Lin Anqing as they walked away, thoroughly surprised, and began whispering among themselves.

"Did Chairman Ji really have a disfigurement before?!!"

"I’m not sure, but Advisor Ji sounded quite convincing; maybe it’s true?"

"Then why isn’t this history written in the books?"

"Perhaps to preserve her image? After all, she’s a representative of female inspiration, and the disfigurement might be considered a dark history?"

"Oh my god, if this gets out, her fans will probably go crazy."

...

Ye Tong listened to the surrounding discussions, her expression somewhat serious. After some thought, she took out her phone and sent a message to Lin Yuanyang.

[Tong: Xiao Yang, can you help me find all records regarding the idol at age 16 in the Huazhou Library?]

Elsewhere.

Wang Yanyan and her assistant diverted from the road to the town hospital, heading straight to the homestay rented by Lin Anqing.

This was exclusive news Wang Yanyan’s company had obtained with great difficulty, and she was very appreciative, with a face full of determined ambition.

The homestay rented by Lin Anqing wasn’t high-end, but it was peaceful, located at the foot of a mountain, away from other village homes.

"Yan Yan, is that car up ahead Director Lin’s?" The assistant suddenly pointed to a black sedan coming towards them.

The front windshield reflected light, making it difficult to see who was inside.

Wang Yanyan immediately had the driver stop, opened the car door, and rushed out.

The startled driver quickly stepped on the brakes, and the sharp screech almost collided with the frightened Wang Yanyan.

"Are you insane!" The driver shouted angrily, quickly turning to check on the man in the back seat.

"Young master, are you alright? Any injuries?"

Feng Lei looked out the window, his expression slightly somber, "Go see what she’s up to."

"Understood..."

The driver nodded slightly, turned to open the door with a grim face, and went out.

Wang Yanyan’s assistant was glancing at her anxiously, "Yan Yan, are you okay? Did you get hurt?"

Wang Yanyan shook her head upon regaining her senses, eagerly looking at the stopped car. Seeing the driver coming over, she immediately greeted him with a polite smile, "I’m sorry, I was too impatient. Are you alright?"

The driver saw her polite attitude, suppressed his anger, and coldly said, "Watch the cars next time!"

"Yes, yes, sorry. Are you with the ’War God’ crew? I’m looking for Director Lin."

The driver paused, scrutinized her thoroughly in understanding, and replied impatiently, "No."

Seeing him about to leave, Wang Yanyan persistently followed, "I’m Wang Yanyan from Lejia Film and Television. My agent has contacted Director Lin’s assistant before."

"I said we’re not; stay away from the car." When the driver reached the sedan, he turned and lightly pushed Wang Yanyan.

Unexpectedly, she lost her balance and almost fell.

Wang Yanyan’s assistant was immediately unhappy, loudly questioning, "If there’s something to discuss, why are you pushing?"

"I didn’t mean to..."

"You obviously did it on purpose."

...

"Why the commotion?"

A pleasant male voice came from the rear window.

Wang Yanyan looked in shock upon hearing him.

Is this... Xingyu’s president Feng Lei?

Indeed, he looks better in person than in photos.

Feng Lei glanced at her with a seemingly gentle smile, "Miss, are you injured?"

Wang Yanyan’s face reddened with excitement, and she shook her head persistently, "No..."

"Then can we go?"

"Ah... Yes..." Wang Yanyan hurriedly stepped aside.

The driver saw this, released Wang Yanyan’s assistant’s hand, and quickly got into the car.

"Wait!"

Seeing the car about to leave, Wang Yanyan’s assistant hurriedly tried to stop it but was a step too late.

"Yan Yan, why didn’t you hold them?"

Wang Yanyan, eyes sparkling, grabbed her assistant’s arm with some excitement and said, "Do you know who that was in the car?"

The assistant shook her head.

She was busy arguing with the driver and didn’t pay attention to the situation inside the car.

"Xingyu Entertainment’s executive president Feng Lei!"

"Really?" The assistant glanced again at where the car had gone, feeling remorseful, "Darn, we should have stopped him."

Wang Yanyan pressed her lips, firmly looking ahead, "No hurry, he can hide but not escape. Director Lin surely lives here!"
