Chapter 540 - 540 You’re Still Afraid?
540 You’re Still Afraid?
“Director Li, Director Sun, Director Ji.” Jiang Xun greeted the three directors.
Qiyao left her lunch where it was and ran over to hug Jiang Xun’s arm.
“Hahaha, Jiang Xun, we were just talking about you,” Yiwu said with a smile.
Before Jiang Xun could speak, Qiyao asked excitedly, “What about Jiang Jiang?”
Mingguan was speechless.
Can you not mention this?
Why was Qiyao everywhere!
“Haha! Ji Cheng laughed. We were just saying that Jiang Xun wasn’t around, so the food expenses of our crew have been reduced a lot.”
Jiang Xun was speechless.
She didn’t actually eat that much, right?
“By the way, Jiang Jiang, have you eaten?” Qiyao asked again.
Mingguan was speechless.
Why did Qiyao bring it up!
It wasn’t that he felt bad for Jiang Xun, but he didn’t know if the chef had prepared enough food today.
“No, I haven’t,” Jiang Xun said, “I was supposed to go to the detention center to see Bao Chuanji. I heard that he has already confessed. After we came out, there was still plenty of time, so we came to visit. Who knew that it would be such a coincidence that it’s lunch time.”
Everyone was speechless.
If you didn’t always look at the dining table, we would have believed you.
“That’s great! Let’s eat together!” Qiyao said happily.
The chef took a look and hurriedly called for people to go to the kitchen.
They had to quickly increase the amount.
Mingguan was just joking. How could he really feel sorry for Jiang Xun, whose appetite was equivalent to eight people’s?
He hurriedly called Jiang Xun to take the food with a smile.
Jiang Xun and Mufeng took their food and went to sit with Qiyao. Shuidong and his wife were also at the same table.
Mingguan, Yiwu, and Ji Cheng also sat down after they finished taking their food.
“Did Jiang Xun just say that Bao Chuanji has confessed?” Mingguan asked. “What exactly happened? Why did he change the prop?”
The police would make an announcement anyway, and everyone would know that Shihe had been arrested.
Jiang Xun did not need to hide it for Shihe, so she said, “I offended Mu Shihe, so Bao Chuanji took her money and planned to ruin my career.”
Everyone present knew who Shihe was, and they also knew about the bad relationship between Jiang Xun, Shihe, and the Mu Corporation.
They could not help but admire Jiang Xun.
It was not a big deal that she was Shihe’s love rival. It was a very common thing.
Not only was Jiang Xun Shihe’s love rival, but she had also single-handedly caused the sales of the Mu Corporation’s Mousse to plummet and unable to make a comeback. Then, she had forced the Mu Corporation to withdraw from the entire Chinese market.
Not to mention Shihe, even Zhenhua probably wanted to kill Jiang Xun.
At this moment, Mingguan’s phone rang.
Mingguan took out his phone and saw that it was Shuli.
Mingguan was a little surprised. What did Shuli want from him?
“I’ll go take this call first.” Mingguan took his phone and went to the side.
However, Jiang Xun saw that Shuidong spoke very little and seemed to be pondering over something. He wasn’t even enjoying his meal, as if he didn’t notice what he was eating.
Qiyao whispered into Jiang Xun’s ear, “Look at Brother Zhang. If I put raw garlic into his rice, he will definitely pick it up and eat it without even looking.”
“What’s wrong with Brother Zhang?” Jiang Xun also asked in a low voice. She had only been gone for a few days. Why was there such a big change?
“You two, stop whispering. He’s thinking of a scene. There’s one that he hasn’t filmed yet. He’s tried a few different ways, but he still feels that it’s not interesting enough, so he can’t even care about eating. At most, he’s just filling his stomach. As for what he’s eating, he can’t taste it at all.” Mingxia smiled.
Mingxia tugged at Shuidong’s sleeve. “Old Zhang, why don’t you discuss this with Jiang Xun? Jiang Xun might have some new ideas.”
Shuidong was reminded. “Yeah! Most of the time when Jiang Xun was filming here, she passed in one take!”
Qiyao also nodded. “Yeah, I’ve also discussed many times with Jiang Jiang.”
“Little Zhang, you’re not being kind.” Shuidong finally pulled his attention back. “Why were you secretly improving with Jiang Xun without telling me? We’ve been filming together for so long.”
“Brother Zhang, you’re the best actor and a great senior. You want me to tell you, ‘let Jiang Jiang talk to you about acting?’ Even if I’m big-faced, I don’t dare to be big-faced for Jiang Jiang! What would people say about Jiang Jiang if they knew about this?” Qiyao mumbled, “I’m just not afraid of offending people I can’t stand. I dare to speak, but it’s not like I don’t have emotional intelligence.”
Shuidong wiped his face. “You’re still afraid? Look at what you’ve done to me!”
Qiyao was speechless.
Qiyao looked up at the sky and laughed dryly.
Everyone laughed, and Shuidong said to Jiang Xun, “The part that I’m stuck on that I’m not satisfied with no matter how I play it out is about my proudest and most trusted student betraying his career and joining the enemy. He even gave some information about our side to the enemy, causing us to lose many comrades. At first, we didn’t know it was him and were still looking for the traitor. While I was searching, I still didn’t believe that there was a traitor on our side.”
“Because we’ve all put in a lot of effort to reach this point. It’s really unreasonable for betrayal at this time. If you betray us now, what about the effort and sacrifices you made in the beginning?” Shuidong said, “But it was at this time that I realized that many things and coincidences pointed to my student, Huang Youyi. However, he was also my proudest student and the first student to follow me into my career. I trusted him, but I’m even more unwilling to believe that it’s him.”
“I’ll then go to test him. It’s more difficult to grasp this scene, because my character’s heart should be very conflicted right now. I trust Huang Youyi, but I don’t want to believe that it’s him, but I have no choice but to test him.”
“Actually, Brother Zhang, when you chose to test him, you were already suspicious of him. You couldn’t really trust him. It’s just that your many years of friendship made you not want to believe it, and you just hope that it’s not him,” Jiang Xun said as she ate. “While you are testing him, you secretly pray that it isn’t him. All the previous suspicions were really just coincidences.”
Jiang Xun stuffed a piece of sweet and sour meat into her mouth. “Have you tried this kind of mentality?”
“I really haven’t.” Shuidong seemed to be talking to Jiang Xun, but he also seemed to be mumbling to himself, “My understanding has always been that I trust him very much and I don’t want it to be him, so I feel very conflicted.”

“I’ve studied the autobiographies of the predecessors who worked in the city during that period. Their psychology is very strong. If he wasn’t strong, he wouldn’t have chosen such a job. No matter how great a contribution he made, no one would know. Even if they succeeded in the future, they still wouldn’t disclose their names.”
