"Um, I wanted to ask, what does your grandfather do? I feel like there are quite a few people I know here, why is that..."
An Ning walked beside Jiang Yu, and in order to perfectly portray the rebellious and disliked image of her parents, she never took Jiang Yu's arm from beginning to end. Instead, she walked beside him on her own. When she said this, she even patted Jiang Yu's shoulder, making him lean his head towards her.
From head to toe, she didn't fit the type of girl Jiang Yu described his grandfather as liking.
After hearing her words, Jiang Yu showed a complicated expression. "My maternal grandfather worked for the country when he was young. After retiring, he devoted himself to the entertainment industry and public welfare. Universal Entertainment is his company, and he is also the founder of the most talked-about charity foundation in China in the past two years..."
In other words, Lin Ran, Jiang Yu, and Ji Yan are here because they are all artists under Universal Entertainment, while Lin Hang and the others are likely here because of the work Jiang Yu's grandfather did before retiring.
As for Wang Dahu... An Ning thought that this person was likely the head of a charity foundation in a certain region who was not good at judging people by their appearance, or someone who had been sponsored by someone's maternal grandfather.
They really did knock on a hornet's nest in one go.
"Do you think these people might say something bad to belittle me?" An Ning asked again.
Jiang Yu thought about it seriously for a while and said, "I think it doesn't matter whether you tell them or not, because you came here on purpose to upset my grandfather, right? The more they say, the better..."
"...Then I think the 100,000 yuan you're giving me is a bit too little. If I do this once, I'll ruin my reputation. Tell me, is what I earn proportional to what I put in?"
"You seem to be underestimating me by saying that..." Jiang Yu suddenly fell silent halfway through his sentence. "Wait a minute, you can clarify what they're saying that isn't true, and even if what they're saying is true, it has nothing to do with me, right?"
Seeing that her attempt to deceive others had failed, An Ning hurriedly walked to the side, to a place where no one knew her, and silently picked up a piece of fruit and put it in her mouth.
I hate dealing with smart people.
She was about to eat another piece of cantaloupe when someone came to spoil the mood.
"Anning? Why did you come to Old Master Xu's birthday banquet after you lost contact with your family? Did you resume your father-daughter relationship with your uncle without my knowledge?"
The voice trailed off with a hint of feigned shock. An Ning glanced sideways toward the source of the sound and saw a red-haired man with dyed red hair.
The boy wasn't very tall, so Anning only needed to look him in the eye, but the mockery in his eyes made Anning feel disgusted.
Why do people who are ugly still have to come out and disgust others?
An Ning ignored him completely and continued to stuff a piece of jackfruit into her mouth as if nothing had happened, completely disregarding the red-haired man.
Seeing that An Ning treated him like air, Red Hair's originally cheerful mood suddenly turned into anger. He wanted to rush up and slap An Ning, asking her how she dared to do that, based on her terrible acting skills.
Then he actually went forward.
She stood straight in front of An Ning, her features slightly distorted. "You're ignoring me? How dare you ignore me? Do you think you're a movie star just because you've been insulted so much and seen so many comments? When are you going to fulfill the vows you made to your parents...?"
His unfinished words were stuck in his throat. Looking at An Ning, who had raised her hand at some point, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. The reason for the cold sweat was not because An Ning's raised hand was so frightening, but because what An Ning was holding was pressed tightly against his throat.
Those obsidian-like eyes were staring at him. "Say one more word, and this blind knife will stab you in."
When Jiang Yu noticed the situation, he rushed over immediately. The first thing he did wasn't to take An Ning's hand off the knife, but to stand aside and exclaim, "You've been to the police station three times and you're still not afraid? You don't want the police on the other side to arrest you on the spot, do you?"
His tone was casual, as if it were perfectly normal for An Ning to pick up the steak knife on the table and threaten someone, something that wasn't surprising to him at all.
The two of them didn't seem to notice anything amiss. The red-haired guy, who had been standing there frozen in fear, was nearly scared to death. He breathed a sigh of relief after An Ning was taken away by Jiang Yu, and muttered to himself...
"Anning has only been away from home for a few years, how come she's been to jail three times? What did she do to deserve this? Did she really dare to stab me just now?"
It's a lie that he served three prison sentences, but it's true that he dared to stab someone.
When Jiang Yu pulled An Ning to the other side, she realized why Jiang Yu had gone there earlier. "What did you say? I have to prepare a congratulatory gift? What congratulatory gift do I have to prepare? The old man doesn't care about the things you bought with all the 100,000 yuan you gave me, does he? If you want to make things difficult for me, just say so."
An Ning looked at him with a dangerous smile on her face.
Seeing that An Ning's expression wasn't very good, Jiang Yu quickly said, "No, what I mean is, I've already bought it, you can just deliver it later."
"It would be best if the old man didn't like it later." Jiang Yu added with a very satisfied smile.
An Ning's previously dark expression immediately softened. "So what gift did you buy? Let me see it. It shouldn't be anything unlucky, right?"
"Don't worry, I just want to get the old man to give up the idea of me finding a girlfriend. I would never deliberately ruin his birthday party."
Anning Insurance, which had zero trust in Jiang Yu, said, "Let me see what you've prepared before I evaluate whether what you're saying is true."
Three minutes later, Anning saw what the man had prepared: a guitar studded with rivets.
"To be honest, your intention to anger your grandfather to death is all too obvious."

An Ning never imagined that Ang Lee would be so eccentric.
She was so erratic that she was starting to question the meaning of life.
"What did you say? They're starting to film the second episode again? Didn't they just release the teaser trailer? Shouldn't it take at least a month for the official premiere? They've only had two days of rest and they're already starting again?"
An Ning was completely distraught after receiving Chu Lan's call.
Although she quite liked the feeling of being free and unrestrained, she didn't really like the intensity of the work.
She hasn't even had two days of fun, and they're already dragging her back?
Chu Lan on the other end of the phone confirmed her words, "Yes, starting tomorrow."
"...Fuck, okay."
When An Ning and Chu Lan arrived at the recording location that Li An had told them about the next day, they didn't see a single person or any signs with the words "Survival Countdown," which was completely unlike Li An's style last time.
However, An Ning still knocked on the door according to the floor and room number given by Ang Lee. Fearing that the director might covet her, An Ning also hid a knife in her wrist.
She calls this "always being wary of others."
But when she pushed open the door and saw a bunch of cameras and staff, her heart immediately settled down.
Ang Lee is probably not some kind of psychopath.
"Director, what's the purpose of gathering here?"
Ang Lee sat at his desk and smiled when he saw An Ning arrive. “You have a special status this time.”
