Chapter 402 A Little Grumpy When Waking Up

As soon as Director Jiao posted this update, before the online trolls could even react, the female protagonist reposted it and fully expressed her excitement.

Yun Yuna [V]: Director, you're the best! With Xiao Xixi, Mom no longer has to worry about my action scenes!

Zhang Yitao followed closely behind.

Zhang Yitao [V]: Some people only dare to make a big move online. In reality, even several of you wouldn't be enough for one of them to beat up.

It's one thing if one person says this, but so many people are saying the same thing. Many of the onlookers don't actually have any deep-seated hatred for Ye Wanxi.

After hearing what these people said, I became a little itchy to see for myself if Ye Wanxi was really as amazing as they claimed.

Just then, the production team's official Weibo account, in a particularly annoying way, posted a new update.

The official Weibo account of "Jianghu" [V]: Want to see some exciting, brutal duels between masters? Well, we won't let you see them, we won't let you see them, hehe~

The onlookers were speechless. However, they suddenly didn't want to investigate the truth of the matter anymore. They just wanted to find out who was behind this production crew and give them a good beating to vent their anger.

By the time Ye Wanxi learned about this, it was already the next morning.

The production team sent a lawyer's letter, and the various rumors on the internet temporarily subsided. Ye Wanxi didn't care how the news media portrayed her; she only focused on the few "bold words" that Director Jiao had sent out.

"Director Jiao is planning to have me serve as the action choreographer for the film crew?"

Director Jiao felt a little guilty when asked this question, but still forced a smile and said, "That's right, the official Weibo account mentioned this before. In order to avoid any rumors spreading outside and attacking you and the crew, we discussed it briefly and felt that this was the best solution at this stage."

After speaking, Director Jiao asked somewhat cautiously, "You're not willing?"

It's not that I'm unwilling.

"That……"

Ye Wanxi stared at Director Jiao, her face upright, and said, "I've said this before, one thing at a time. You can ask me to help design the action sequences for the actresses in the film, but..."

"But what?"

"That's a different price."

Director Jiao: "..." Good grief, they were waiting for me here!

After Ye Wanxi finished speaking, she noticed that Director Jiao remained silent for a long time, which immediately set off alarm bells.

Considering this person's (almost) history of defaulting on debts, Ye Wanxi had to ask the crucial question again: "Do you really want to get something for nothing?"

What the hell is this, trying to get something for nothing! Director Jiao's face turned green, and he said angrily, "Has your agency been short of food or clothing? All you talk about is money, how vulgar!"

Ye Wanxi was completely unaffected by his words. She blinked, looking somewhat innocent, and said, "Director Jiao, haven't you heard the saying?"

"What did you say?"

"Money isn't everything, but you can't do without it. If you don't mind, please grant my wish and let me be a wealthy but ordinary person. I can do it!"

"..." Director Jiao was so speechless that he rolled his eyes and stormed off.

A few minutes later, the assistant director appeared in front of Ye Wanxi.

"Miss Ye, Old Jiao asked me to tell you..."

"You don't need me to be the action choreographer anymore?"

"No, he has already had the finance department pay you an extra salary, based on Master Wang's standards, and it has already been deposited into your company account."

Ye Wanxi: "..." Working two jobs at once, she still couldn't escape it in the end.

As it turns out, Director Jiao's salary was well spent.

Ye Wanxi only has three scenes today, all of which are action scenes. For most actresses, these action scenes are like torture, but for Ye Wanxi, they are the simplest.

That's why her filming progress was actually the fastest among the group.

However, with the added role of martial arts instructor, even though she had finished filming, she couldn't leave the set early like she had the day before; she had to stay and help Yun Yuna correct her movements.

Yun Youna was not being modest when she said she wasn't good at action scenes. For people like them who haven't systematically learned real kung fu, what they learn when acting is just fancy moves.

Many actresses in the industry studied dance before entering the industry. They are flexible and can dance better than the average person, even if it's just a fancy move.

Unfortunately, Yun Youna is good at everything and has many talents, but she just hasn't unlocked her dance skills.

Whether it's dancing or martial arts, their bones are so hard that they can twist their wrists like a convulsing chicken claw.

In order to prevent the final footage from being so horrific, Ye Wanxi had to painstakingly cut out each movement for her.

After finally completing one action scene, Ye Wanxi felt more tired than if she had filmed a whole day's worth of scenes.

This caused Ye Wanxi, who was originally full of energy after completing the mission, to be so exhausted that she couldn't move as soon as she got home that night, and she fell asleep as soon as she lay down on the bed.

Just as she was fast asleep in the dead of night, a scream suddenly came from downstairs, successfully waking her and Gao Min, who also lived on the second floor.

"Don't come any closer! I'm not the one who hurt you, it really wasn't me. You've mistaken me for someone else, don't come any closer."

When Ye Wanxi came downstairs in her pajamas, she saw Gao Qiang holding the talisman she had given him, blocking Qi Xiaolian's way.

Qi Xiaolian hid behind him, tightly gripping his hand, her face full of fear but still trying her best to explain.

Not far from them, a large cloud of black smoke enveloped a figure. The person's features were faintly visible in the black mist, but her face could not be clearly seen. Only her long, beautiful black hair confirmed that she was a girl.

The figure shrouded in black smoke ignored Qi Xiaolian's terrified pleas and stretched out its pale, lifeless hand toward the two of them.

Qi Xiaolian watched helplessly as the hand drew closer and closer, almost touching Gao Qiang, and couldn't help but scream again.

The high-decibel, piercing scream was quite penetrating, making Ye Wanxi's temples throb and her head feel like it was about to explode.

Ye Wanxi, who was already irritable from a long day without proper rest, snapped completely when she heard that shout.

With a dark expression, she stepped forward, grabbed the shadowy figure by the neck, dragged him towards the window, and began to beat him mercilessly.

In an instant, black mist filled the air, and the muffled thuds of fists hitting people mingled with the screams of vengeful ghosts.

The night should have been chilling, but the two people left in the room were completely dumbfounded.

When Gao Min arrived a little late, she saw this scene. Looking at the two people standing there dumbfounded, she tried to salvage her artist's image a little.

"She's not usually like this, maybe she's a little... grumpy when she wakes up?"

"Morning grumpiness?" Gao Qiang and the other man stiffly turned to look at Ye Wanxi's fierce appearance, and shuddered.

From now on, we must stay away from Miss Ye when she just wakes up. Ghosts won't die from being beaten, but living people really can't withstand being beaten like that!
