Chapter 617
Yuan Jing rolled his eyes at Tong Lian in extreme speechlessness. Couldn’t he think of something normal?
"What nonsense are you talking about? There's something wrong with this woman. You'd better stay away from her."
Tong Lian's heart skipped a beat when he heard this, and he thought of the incident in the haunted building again. He asked in a lower voice, "You are not going to become as paranoid as Master Zhang Huan, are you? Can you still see ghosts after leaving the haunted building?"
Yuan Jing looked at Tong Lian with a half-smile, and the latter was frightened by his gaze and almost exclaimed "WTF!", wondering if it was really the same as he thought, since he was the most afraid of ghosts.
"Is it true or not? Why haven't I heard you say that before?" No matter how scared she was, Tong Lian couldn't control her gossipy soul.
Yuan Jing raised his eyebrows and said, "Would you believe me if I told you before?"
Well, Tong Lian also knew. If Yuan Jing had said this before, he would definitely think that Yuan Jing was talking nonsense. He only saw it with his own eyes that time in the haunted building, but until now, there are still people in the original crew who don't believe it.
"You two little eunuchs, come here quickly." The stagehand called them, it was their turn to perform, the two of them quickly ran over holding up the hem of their eunuch uniforms. Yuan Jing himself had red lips and white teeth, and he was playing this type of eunuch, so he didn't even need to put on makeup, so after explaining the scene to them for a while, he let them directly enter the camera and started filming.
However, most of the time they were just background characters and had very few opportunities to speak their lines. But when he saw them acting their parts seriously, the director felt that these two guys were pretty good and Lao Lin made the right choice in introducing the wrong people.
The main characters in this afternoon's play are the concubines in the palace, among whom is the second female lead, the willful and unruly imperial concubine played by Qi Minxuan. Qi Minxuan does have some acting skills, so she grasped the imperial concubine's temperament well, if not perfectly. However, when Yuan Jing saw the female ghost with tears of blood behind her still trying to strangle her to death and rushing over again and again, he felt a little out of place.
Fortunately, he had good self-control and no one noticed that he was distracted. However, because the spoiled imperial concubine slapped a beauty in the harem, things always went wrong at critical moments, causing the slapping scene to be stuck several times and the slapping sounds to be heard again and again. When the scene was finally completed, the actress who played the beauty had a swollen cheek on one side.
Qi Minxuan flicked her fingernails and said with a forced smile, "I'm sorry, I couldn't control myself."
The actress really cried, not because of the role. She knew Qi Minxuan slapped her on purpose, but what could she do? The two of them had a huge difference in status. After the other slapped her a few times, she still had to say, "Thank you, Teacher Qi, for your guidance."
Qi Minxuan smiled contemptuously, then turned and left. The actress could only step aside with tears in her eyes and let her assistant apply cold compress to her.
The assistant found some ice cubes and put them on Tao Yuru's face, saying angrily, "This is really too much bullying. You shouldn't slap someone in the face like this. Are you going to put up with this?"
Tao Yuru lowered her eyes and asked, "Did you ask someone to take pictures of everything just now?"
"Everything has been filmed. Do you want to find someone to expose it now?"
Tao Yuru shook her head: "No hurry, now is not the right time. If I expose it now, it won't cure her, and it won't do me any good either. Let's keep it for now."
There are few really stupid people in this circle. When they don’t have the strength to fight head-on, they can only lie low.
Tong Lian turned around and returned to Yuan Jing. "I've heard that Qi Minxuan is quite arrogant. I didn't expect that rumors are not as good as meeting her in person. She doesn't hide anything at all. I just asked someone and found out that one of the major investors of this TV series is Qi Minxuan's sponsor. So you see, even the director is helpless with her. Tsk tsk, it's true that having a backer is powerful."
Yuan Jing said speechlessly: "You envy her for having a sponsor, then you can also find one. In fact, it would be nice if you take care of your appearance."
Tong Lian had an expression that was hard to describe.
Yuan Jing was browsing his phone, and Tong Lian came over to take a look: "Huh? Why are you browsing this content? This happened two months ago. Didn't they say that this woman took drugs and jumped off the building? Even if there is an inside story, it is impossible to expose it."
Why is this content being posted? Because although the face of the female ghost behind Qi Minxuan is a little blurry, Yuan Jing can still tell that the female ghost is the same person as the female artist who jumped off the building and died two months ago. Coincidentally, this female artist is also from Jiarui Entertainment, but her status is much lower than Qi Minxuan.
Now the female ghost is following Qi Minxuan obviously wanting revenge. It is obvious that the death of the female artist by jumping off the building is closely related to Qi Minxuan.
Yuan Jing closed the page and said casually, "I just happened to see it and took a look. I heard it's also from Jiarui Entertainment."
Tong Lian said with emotion, "Yes, yes. When this matter was exposed, Jiarui Entertainment spent a lot of money to suppress the news. After all, it is not good to say that someone died, and it will also affect Jiarui's stock. It's a pity for the female artist. I think she is pretty and will be able to make a name for herself in this circle sooner or later."
Yuan Jing smiled and said, "In this circle, you can't get ahead just by being good-looking."
Emotional intelligence, luck, connections and capital, none of them can be lacking. If one of them is missing, your death will be in vain like this female artist.
Just at this moment, several people came in carrying things, and the crew suddenly became lively. It turned out that Qi Minxuan had just been stuck in the scene many times, so she bought afternoon tea to treat the whole crew. As a result, the crew was full of praise for Qi Minxuan.
A shadow moved above Yuan Jing and the others. They looked up and saw that it was Qi Minxuan's assistant who personally brought them afternoon tea. Tong Lian was immediately flattered.
The assistant handed over the milk tea and snacks, looked at Yuan Jing and smiled, "This is the afternoon tea that Sister Qi invited you to have."
"Thank you." Yuan Jing thanked him.
Tong Lian politely saw the man off, but Yuan Jing saw the man glance at Yuan Jing's face before leaving and then turned back.
To be honest, before Yuan Jing came, this body had a gloomy temperament due to malnutrition, so even though the facial features were good, the whole person looked gray and not very outstanding. But after Yuan Jing took over, after a few days of conditioning, the whole person became brighter and more lively.
Yuan Jing lowered his eyes and chuckled. It’s best not to target him, as that will only make some people die faster.
The assistant returned to Qi Minxuan and whispered in her ear, "Sister Qi, you have a good eye. That young eunuch is really good-looking. He is not worse than the young men I usually see."
Qi Minxuan raised her eyebrows. How could her vision be bad? "Go check his background."
"Okay, Sister Qi."
When filming the second scene, Yuan Jing discovered that Qi Minxuan took better care of him intentionally or unintentionally. Tong Lian was very surprised and thought that this might be his brother's luck, but Yuan Jing remained calm.
When it was time to finish work, Tong Lian finally found the opportunity to talk to Yuan Jing again: "Brother, you are lucky. You are actually favored by Qi Minxuan."
Yuan Jing said speechlessly: "You forgot what I said to you this afternoon. There is something wrong with this woman. It is best to stay away from her."
Tong Lian immediately slapped his mouth, having almost forgotten, and quickly engraved this sentence firmly in his mind.
Qi Minxuan, who had removed her makeup, naturally left surrounded by her bodyguards and assistants. She greeted Yuan Jing with a smile as she walked past him. Yuan Jing responded with a faint smile, but as soon as Qi Minxuan turned her head, Yuan Jing moved his fingers. The female ghost who was following behind Qi Minxuan and was not very conscious suddenly shuddered. Her eyes, which were filled with blood and tears, became clearer. She realized what was going on and looked around quickly, and saw someone looking straight at her.
Because Yan Yuansen was helping Yuan Jing with his background affairs and was not in the imperial capital, Yuan Jing had to go home alone. However, he first had a barbecue outside with Tong Lian before staggering back.
He was taking a walk, and soon he felt a negative energy coming towards him. He looked to the side and saw that the female ghost who had followed Qi Minxuan before had followed him. Their eyes met.
The female ghost became excited: "Can you see me? Is it because of you that I regained consciousness? Can you help me?"
The female ghost died in vain, and after death she only remembered this enemy. The only thought left in her mind was to kill her enemy to avenge herself, so she followed Qi Minxuan and kept making movements to strangle her to death, over and over again, and she didn't seem to feel tired at all, until Yuan Jing sent her a ray of spiritual energy to let her stop this mechanical movement.
Yuan Jing turned around and continued to look at the road, with his hands in his pockets and his mouth not moving, but the female ghost heard a voice ringing in her ear.
"Don't be impatient. Tell me slowly what your name is and why you jumped off the building and died."
The ghost girl was so excited that she was about to shed tears of blood. It turned out that someone could really see her. She floated beside Yuan Jing and said quickly, "My name is Yao Shan. I used to be a female artist of Jiarui Entertainment. I became like this after jumping off a building two months ago. I didn't want to die. I was forced to do it. It was that bitch Qi Minxuan who made me go down this path."
The female ghost became excited again. Yuan Jing did not try to comfort her, but just listened to her story quietly.
It turned out that Yao Shan had only been in Jiarui for two years. She was just in her early twenties, at the peak of her youth and beauty. However, she was ignorant of evil intentions and thought that Qi Minxuan was a good person. She thought it would be easier for her to have such a sister taking care of her in this circle. But who would have thought that Qi Minxuan handed her a poisoned candy.
On the day she jumped to her death, Qi Minxuan personally handed a glass of drugged wine to Yao Shan. Yao Shan drank it without any hesitation because she trusted her. When her body gradually became hot and her consciousness became a little confused, she realized something was wrong. There were several men in the room at that time, and Qi Minxuan said that she would hand Yao Shan over to them. Only then did she realize how blind she was. It turned out that her connections were gained by people like her, Yao Shan, selling their bodies. She was forcing women of good character into prostitution.
Yao Shan begged and threatened, but those people refused to let her go no matter what. Finally, Yao Shan was forced to jump out of the window.
