Chapter 49: The Purest and Most Noble Friendship...

After leaving Mingde Mansion, Major General Ji kept in mind the

The battle map was transcribed and passed on to the Pingwu military via an informant. On July 27th, the island nation's infantry regiment confidently advanced towards Pingwu. However, what they encountered was not a city gate opened wide by internal and external forces, but an attack from both Pingwu and reinforcements from other provinces.

After a disastrous defeat in the attack on Pingwu, the island nation, under pressure from the situation, withdrew its troops from Pingwu, Nanyang, and the surrounding provinces. Since then, the streets of Nanyang have returned to their former prosperity.

"Breaking News! The Pingwu counterattack was a resounding victory. The island nation garrisons in the four provinces surrounding Nanyang have all been evacuated. I believe that in the near future, all parts of the country will usher in the dawn of victory in the war of resistance!"

"Extra, Extra—"

As the newspaper boy's shouting gradually faded away, a line of text appeared on the screen.

[Before dawn arrives, there must always be someone to be the ray of light in the darkness.]

The immersive situational drama "The Dawn Before Dawn" has concluded. Thank you to all those who are striving for light.

【Wuwuwuwuwu [cry loudly][cry loudly]】

[Everyone looks forward to the arrival of dawn, but in the long night, there are also people who act as light to illuminate us.]

I have to say the show's immersive approach is truly captivating. Whether it's the previous escape room or this sitcom, they always manage to draw the audience in.

It's better than many TV dramas. It's so exciting to watch these professional actors come together to act. Even Ji Jingchuan's last scene has some of Ji Ershao's influence.

[Honestly, the sight of him leaving without even looking back moved me to tears. So, Miss Shang won’t really sacrifice herself in the end, right? No! [crying]]

Just as the audience was trying to revive Miss Shang, there was suddenly new movement in the live broadcast room.

Three months later

"Miss, the wife of the president of the Lu Chamber of Commerce has sent you an invitation to have coffee!"

The screen faded to black in the middle, and Shang Que, dressed in a simple dress, approached menacingly from a distance. "Where's Ji Jingchuan? He's not out drinking with someone yet, is he?"

"Hey, hey, hey, what are you talking about?" a youthful voice came. The camera turned and saw Ji Jingchuan leaning against the door frame, his arms folded across his chest, his eyebrows raised: "I heard you were going out, so I prepared a car for you this morning."

There was a black car parked at the door. Shang Que took a look and snorted, "You're quite obedient."

Ji Jingchuan showed a proud look on his face, then turned around and followed him happily: "Where are you going, take me with you."

[Ahhhhhhhh, he's still alive! Director, I forgive you! ]

[The director probably wouldn't dare to write Shang Que to death, otherwise Ji Jingchuan would definitely make a scene, hahaha.]

[Speaking of which, Ji Jingchuan really feels like a younger brother in front of Shang Que. Who understands the feeling of that eye contact just now! ]

[The arrogant cat sister and her little follower, the stubborn dog brother. ]

[Wait a minute, it said at the beginning that Ning Sheng sent the invitation letter. Is there going to be a big reunion soon?]

The car stopped in front of an open-air cafe. As soon as Shang Que got out of the car, he saw Ning Sheng and Lin Jinyi sitting under a large parasol.

Ning Sheng wore a plain-cut cheongsam, while Lin Jinyi wore a shirt with woolen overalls and a painter's hat on her head. The two had very different styles, but at this moment they were sitting together in harmony, drinking coffee and chatting.

Shang Que walked over and said jokingly, "With me included, we now have three styles of clothing."

"You're here." Ning Sheng explained with a smile: "When I came, I saw Jin Yi drinking coffee here, so I sat with her."

Ji Jingchuan naturally helped to pull out the rattan chair. Shang Que sat down, ordered coffee, and looked at Lin Jinyi curiously: "Your outfit is very fashionable."

"Magazine-style, though I think it looks like a newspaper vendor." Lin Jinyi shrugged. "I recently got a new job as a translator at Nanyang Magazine. How about you guys?"

"Me? I teach French and political science at a girls' school."

While they were chatting, Jiang Yize came out of the shop with a tray: "Two guests, your coffee."

Lin Jinyi exclaimed in surprise, "You're here."

"Yes," Jiang Yize said with a grin, "I quit my job as a bartender at Mingde Mansion and work as a barista in this shop. Try the coffee I make."

[One, two, three, four, five, only one person is missing! ]

[President Lu, why didn't you come with your wife? Seriously.]

【It is well known that men are not allowed to attend sisterhood gatherings.】

【What is Ji Jingchuan then? 】

【My younger brother is excluded.】

Speak of the devil, and soon, Lu Zhixu came over. With a gentle smile on his lips, he explained to Ning Sheng, "I met with the representatives of the Chamber of Commerce in the north. I was delayed a bit before I came to pick you up."

At this point, all six people have met.

This postscript is like an Easter egg. Everyone comes to the cafe from different places and meets everyone with a new identity.

Lu Zhixu went from being the president of a chamber of commerce that mediated between enemies to the representative of the Southern Chamber of Commerce. Lin Jinyi broke free from the control of the island nation and joined a magazine. Jiang Yize ended his undercover work and started doing his favorite job.

When dawn comes, a new life begins.

"Isn't this worth saying congratulations on wrapping up?" Ning Sheng raised his coffee cup.

"Happy wrap," Lin Jinyi clinked glasses, then complained, "My lines are really long and hard to memorize. I've been really tired of it."

Shang Que couldn't help but curl his lips: "It's really hard work. I thought you knew 1234567."

【Hahahaha, how can I get so close to your face and open it up.】

【Shang-Best Friend-Magpie】

[Now who would still say our eldest daughter can only recite numbers during filming? She clearly has very good lines!]

Lin Jinyi glared at her in feigned anger: "They're all long sentences. How can 1234567 be enough? I have to recite them from 1 to 7, and then from 7 to 1."

Everyone was amused by the conversation between the two. Jiang Yizhe and Lu Zhixu also raised their coffee glasses and clinked them together: "Happy wrap!"

"One more person is missing," Lin Jinyi urged, "Ji Jingchuan, come and toast to the end of the filming."

Ji Jingchuan curled his lips and said gloomily, "Who is happy? I am not happy anyway."

Jiang Yizhe was puzzled: "What happened to him?"

"Didn't the character he played have a scene where he had to memorize a battle map and rewrite it on paper?" Shang Que explained, "Ji Jingchuan diligently wrote it down for over ten minutes in front of the camera, but the director didn't show that scene."

[Hahahaha, Director, what's wrong with you?! Do you know how much effort our Second Young Master Ji put in to memorize this battle map?]

[I can testify that I listened to him reciting the poem live last night for over half an hour, and I almost fell asleep.]

[Director, you're going too far! ]

"That's right, Director, you've gone too far." Others began to complain.

"I always thought the director just liked to play tricks on people. How could he be so cruel?" Jiang Yize spoke first.

Ning Sheng also helped to uphold justice: "You should have told him in advance that this part would not be released, so he wouldn't have to work so hard to memorize it."

Lin Jinyi started to jeer: "Is there any law? You dare to delete the top-tier scenes."

Lu Zhixu suggested: "Next time you work with the director, remember to raise your salary to the highest level."

【Lu Zhixu's killer move, hahahahahaha. 】

[The director must be sweating profusely.]

Ji Jingchuan was like the kid who got bullied by other kids and then went back to rally four or five adults to support him.

【Just pamper him one by one. 】

Some clips were shot in advance, and it was normal for them to be deleted because they couldn't find the right time to put them in. This situation often happened to them when they were filming. Sometimes they would shoot for a whole day, but in the end, only a few seconds of footage would be used in the drama.

But Ji Jingchuan had never experienced this, and as friends, no one chose to preach. Everyone spoke up for him one after another, and the emotional value reached its peak.

Sure enough, Ji Jingchuan's expression quickly changed from gloomy to bright.

Shang Que then added the final sentence: "You see, people of good character still make up the majority."

Ji Jingchuan was completely coaxed: "I can see that you all have very good taste."

The only director with no taste immediately promised upon hearing this: "The live broadcast time is limited, so many wonderful clips have not been released, but they will definitely be included in the refined version later!"

"I feel like the director's credibility is not very high." Lin Jinyi thought.

"How about trusting him one last time?"

Ji Jingchuan wasn't stupid, so he could see that everyone was trying to give him a way out. He pursed his lips, picked up his coffee, and clinked it with his other cup. "Happy wrap-up."

"Wait, don't drink yet." Shang Que suddenly said, "I missed a line. Let me finish it, otherwise my salary will be docked."

The director defended himself off-camera: "I'm not that mean."

However, no one listened. Ning Sheng exclaimed, "Oh my!" twice, "That's terrible. Tell me now."

Lin Jinyi nodded vigorously: "That's right, don't let anyone catch you."

[Hahahaha why has Ning Sheng become so mean?]

[If you guys all get together, no panda in the world will starve to death.]

[Director, I asked you to punish them, and now you're reaping the consequences.]

"What's the line, Sister Shang Que?"

Shang Que cleared his throat and said, "Let us raise our glasses and drink together to celebrate our hard-earned victory and this purest and most noble friendship."

"Cheers, cheers!"

Amidst the laughter, the picture gradually blurred and faded, and this episode of the variety show ended with the last sentence.

There are many kinds of friendship in the world, and friendships that are connected by common beliefs are the purest and most noble.
