Chapter 50 World 2 [20]

Jing Ke used to be a kitchen novice who couldn't even read the proper amounts in a recipe. The only thing she was good at was her knife skills, which allowed her to cut tofu into hair-thin pieces.

But now Jing Ke not only has excellent knife skills, but also has a deep understanding of the measurement unit of "appropriate amount". He only needs to dig or shovel it in casually to get the perfect amount, and there is no need for a small measuring spoon at all.

Shao Qing is preparing to play the role of a female swordsman in February, so her diet is biased towards muscle building, with a relatively high proportion of protein.

After getting the thought that something had three times the protein of beef out of his head, Jing Ke began to prepare Shao Qing's exclusive nutritious meal in various ways.

Fish and shrimp are essential, and red and white meats should be balanced appropriately. A moderate amount of delicious carbohydrates and a healthy proportion of high-quality fats are also essential.

To be honest, the reason why Shao Qing agreed to let Jing Ke take care of his three meals a day was partly because he was moved by her big, sincere eyes.

As for the other half, Shao Qing is not very picky about food. As long as the food is not too unpalatable, she doesn't care.

However, this idea changed after eating the first meal Jing Ke cooked, and Shao Qing even felt a little regretful. If she had known that Jing Ke's cooking skills were as good as she had said, she should have let Jing Ke cook on the first day.

Not to mention a monthly salary of 10,000, even if it was a monthly salary of 100,000, Shao Qing would be willing to pay!

"Jing Ke, aren't you a high-dimensional creature? Your freedom was restricted by Xu Yin before. How do you have such good cooking skills?" The delicious food aroused Shao Qing's curiosity.

I seem to have many misunderstandings about Jing Ke. Although I say that I have treated Jing Ke as a friend, I am still wary of her subconsciously.

For example, I still didn't believe everything Jing Ke had told me. It was only after I saw the ironclad facts that I changed my mind about Jing Ke.

"It was taught to me by a very important person. As for why it tastes so good, I guess practice makes perfect." Jing Ke said with his head tilted.

Jing Ke didn't remember who taught her how to cook, but she knew that the person who taught her was very important to her and was someone worthy of being hidden in her core.

Shao Qing understood what it meant to stop at the right time. After asking a few simple questions, he changed the topic.

-

According to the arrangement of her agent Sister Ke, Shao Qing will basically have no schedule in October, which is a rare rest time for her.

The endorsements and variety show invitations that come to him at the moment are not very good. Basically, they want to take advantage of the fact that Shao Qing doesn’t have a new representative work and get the contract at a low price.

However, there are always unexpected things. Just when Jing Ke was about to acquire an entertainment company with a market value of over 100 million yuan, an opportunity fell from the sky and hit Shao Qing in the face.

"Sister Ke, are you sure? I remember that the main actors of the tribute film have been decided long ago. Why would you invite me to play the female lead in the unit drama at this time?" Shao Qing didn't believe that there would be pie falling from the sky in the entertainment industry, so she was very cautious.

Sister Ke: "I'm still inquiring about this, but I've confirmed that the person who contacted me was indeed Director Hua. He's the chief director in charge of the tribute film, so he shouldn't joke with us casually."

"I've also checked your schedule. The drama you're starring in will start filming next month. If nothing unexpected happens, it will be finished before the Spring Festival. It won't affect your ability to join Director Li's TV series."

Sister Ke thinks this opportunity is extremely rare. Not just any artist can act in a tribute film, let alone the heroine of a unit drama.

If Shao Qing successfully gets this role, even if he has already registered with the official, if someone else wants to tie him up and hype him up later, he will have to consider whether his weight is enough.

"Sister Ke, could you please delay it for a few days for me? I'll go and find out first. I'm a little unsure." Shao Qing was not tempted by the benefits behind the tribute film. Instead, he felt that the matter was becoming more and more strange.

Everyone knows what the theme of the tribute film is. Generally speaking, movies of this type will not invite people with too much negative news to play the main roles.

The negative information here has nothing to do with whether it is true or false. What matters most is the number of black fans and the attitude of netizens.

Shao Qing's reputation has indeed improved a little in recent times, but the number of black fans has not decreased much. It's just that some deceived netizens have seen the truth, and the scandal is still being debated.

After finishing the call with his agent, Shao Qing decisively stopped his exercise plan for today, found Jing Ke who was preparing ingredients in the kitchen, and chose to ask her for help.

Jing Ke frowned after hearing this and immediately stopped what he was doing. "It really sounds like too much of a coincidence. I'll help you hack in and take a look."

After saying that, Jing Ke didn't even have time to take off the apron she was wearing. She ran to her room, took down the computer, and started typing codes frantically in front of Shao Qing.

Jing Ke's technology is tantamount to a dimensionality reduction attack in the current world. After asking Shao Qing for Director Hua's email address, Jing Ke stuffed a small virus into the email and sent it disguised as an email from a well-known company.

Jing Ke was lucky. The email she sent was quickly opened by Director Hua, and the small virus in the email quickly packed up the data on the other party's computer and sent it to him.

Director Hua sent an invitation to Shao Qing just in the past few days, so Jing Ke focused on the additional information that had emerged in the past seven days.

Shao Qing had no talent for computer programming and could only sit aside and watch Jing Ke's hands leaving afterimages on the keyboard.

After about an hour, Jing Ke hit the Enter key heavily and then let out a sigh.

"I hacked into his home LAN through my computer and also hacked into Director Hua's phone to check out his recent chat history with his friends."

Jing Ke said, "Sister Ke may have forgotten to tell you that the male lead of that unit drama is Xu Yin. Director Hua thought of you because of Xu Yin's recommendation."

"Also, Director Hua's phone contacts include Mr. Yuan, the one you met at the charity gala before, the one with the dirty clothes."

Jing Ke frowned slightly. "Judging from Director Hua's attitude, his choice of you must be due to multiple factors. Half of it was due to Xu Yin's recommendation and Mr. Yuan's suggestion, and the other half was that your outstanding acting skills impressed him."

To put it simply, although Director Hua's personal ethics are not very good, he is still very serious about tribute films. After confirming from many sources that Shao Qing is a capable actor, he took the opportunity to do two favors with one thing.

"Both Xu Yin and Mr. Yuan recommended me?" Shao Qing was a little confused.

It would be fine if the latter recommended himself, but he might want to use this to show his strength so that I would bow to him for resources.

But why would Xu Yin recommend himself? Wasn't he coveting his luck? If his popularity increased, wouldn't Xu Yin's luck decline?

"Yes, I can't restore the audio and video of both parties, but from the text form of the conversation, Xu Yin didn't say anything extra when he recommended it." Jing Ke was also a little confused.

In Jing Ke's impression, Xu Yin is not such a selfless person.

When he first got the system, he was a little timid and didn't dare to use it. But after tasting the sweetness, Xu Yin's behavior became bolder and bolder, and his ambition was slowly nurtured.

For Xu Yin, it would be best if Shao Qing was hated by netizens and hidden by the company, or if he retired from the entertainment industry forever.

For Xu Yin, actively sending resources to Shao Qing was like cutting off his own arms and exposing his weaknesses to his opponent.

As he was thinking, Jing Ke suddenly thought of another possibility. The expression on his face became complicated, and he felt as disgusted as if he had bitten half a bug in his food.

"What's wrong? Did you find something wrong?" Shao Qing noticed something was wrong.

"I may know why Xu Yin did that." Jing Ke frowned, and the wrinkles between his eyebrows could kill many mosquitoes.

"Xu Yin needs your luck to maintain his current fortune, and he has two ways to obtain your luck. One is to suppress you so that your luck will flow to him. The other way..."

Jing Ke paused, giving Shao Qing half a minute to prepare, before continuing.

"The other way is to develop an intimate relationship with you, so that he can share your good fortune."

After hearing what Jing Ke said, Shao Qing couldn't help but have a question mark pop up in his head, and instantly thought of Xu Yin deliberately asking for his contact information in front of the live camera.

"If I didn't actually develop an intimate relationship with him, but many netizens thought we were related, would my luck be taken away by Xu Yin?" Shao Qing thought a lot in a short moment.

"Will those who are doing the bundling operation also take away my luck?" Shao Qing asked.

Jing Ke shook her head. "Others probably can't do that. Xu Yin established a weak connection with you through some rituals he performed before, so he can share your luck."

"If you were to play a couple on screen, the things you worry about might happen."

"To be on the safe side, I suggest you turn down the female lead role in this drama," Jing Ke analyzed. "That way, you can avoid being exploited by Xu Yin and avoid having too much interaction with Mr. Yuan."

"As for film and television resources, don't worry too much," Jing Ke said. Her acquisition was already in the final stages of public disclosure, and in a few days, she would be the head of a company.

The worst outcome would be to spend his own money to tailor a script for Shao Qing, use more than 1 billion foreign currencies to promote Shao Qing, and give her the opportunity to step onto the international stage.

Shao Qing nodded. She had persisted for three years and was not going to lose her mind at this time and do something irrational for the sake of the heroine of the tribute film unit.

"Jing Ke, thank you. If it weren't for you, Sister Ke and I would probably be kept in the dark." Shao Qing slowly exhaled and smiled at Jing Ke.

"Is there anything you need me to do for you? I can't just accept your efforts blindly." Shao Qing said.

Jing Ke touched his chin and said, "Can you help me prepare the ingredients? It took me a lot of time to find the information just now. I might need a kitchen helper."

"Okay, I'll help you. Just tell me what you need me to do." Shao Qing responded with a smile, and soon he had an apron of the same style on his body.

-

"Are you going to turn down this role? Are you sure?" Sister Ke, who was still practicing Tai Chi with Director Hua, couldn't help but raise her voice, her tone full of disbelief.

Sister Ke: "Shao Qing, don't you know what a great opportunity this is? As long as Director Hua announces that you will play the female lead in the tribute film, your endorsement fee can be increased by at least 20%."

Shao Qing: "Sister Ke, you know everything you said. This is my decision after careful consideration. I asked a friend of mine. The heroine of this tribute film is a disabled person with physical disabilities. If I want to star in it, I need to lose weight, and I am currently gaining muscle."

Shao Qing: "I can only choose between the tribute film and the second female lead in Director Li's TV series. Sister Ke, you know what I will choose."

"Are you really sure?" Sister Ke asked.

Shao Qing: "Yes, confirmed."

"Okay, then I won't force you." Sister Ke said, "But you have to keep the day after tomorrow free. Then I'll take you to talk to Director Hua in person, so that he won't think you don't take it seriously enough and make things difficult for you in the future."
