Chapter 749: Chapter 739: Under Investigation, Training to Be Sealed Off

"Wenjia, Wenjia..."

Jiang Wenjia was called back to her senses, her lips quivering slightly, "Wh-why is this so sudden?"

And it happened just when she went to find Jiang Wenhu, hoping Jiang Lingxi, who is currently very popular, could help with advertising!

Just a celebrity, could they really wield such power?

Moreover, aren’t all those glamorous stars just puppets of the investors?

Coincidence, it must be just a coincidence.

But even if it’s a coincidence, she thought about the kickbacks she couldn’t resist taking during previous procurements, and her heart sank to the bottom, colder than the ice cube on her face.

Liu Xuhui, who had been working for years and was in charge of the perceptive sales department, looked at his wife’s face, which suddenly changed after hearing his words. He felt a jolt in his heart and tried to stabilize himself, "Isn’t it just after the New Year’s break? I guess these departments want to start strong and picked our company to inspect. Wenjia, there’s no problem with the procurement department you’re in charge of, right?"

He asked like this, but looking at his wife’s reaction, he was really not confident.

Jiang Wenjia wanted to shake her head, but after a moment of silence, she still felt she couldn’t bear the fear alone, "Earlier this year, a batch of raw material manufacturers increased their prices significantly, so I switched to another small factory, saving almost half the cost, but the account was reported at the original price."

Liu Xuhui only felt a blackout in front of his eyes.

Then he heard his wife say with a hint of luck, "It’s just that batch. It might not necessarily be sampled."

He couldn’t help interrupting her wishful thinking, "It used to be random batch checks, but this time, for some reason, all batches are being sampled!"

"Crash!"

It was the sound of the ice cube in Jiang Wenjia’s hand falling to the ground.

Not to mention dinner, the couple practically spent the whole evening in worry.

While Jiang Wenjia and Liu Xuhui were anxiously waiting for the axe to fall on them, not knowing when it might strike, things on the other side were progressing smoothly.

Jiang Cisheng decided to return to the Imperial City personally, to completely subdue the people coveting his family, while leaving behind a substantial inheritance for his wife to relieve any worries after he departed. Thus, he handled his resignation firmly.

Even the school leaders, who wanted to keep him, couldn’t persuade him. Considering that he had been dedicated for nearly a decade, and his chemistry competition class had brought much honor to the school, along with a wife needing special care since she couldn’t work outside, they decided to change his resignation to early retirement. This way, even if he couldn’t find a suitable job back in the Imperial City due to his age, he could still receive a pension to improve his life.

After all, the cost of living in the Imperial City was much higher than in Mao City.

Jiang Cisheng remembered this kind gesture in his heart.

Thinking that the school’s library facilities were outdated, and the collection was meager, he already had a plan.

After finishing the transition with the new teacher, Jiang Cisheng had a farewell dinner with colleagues and neighbors from the family quarters, then set off back to the Imperial City with his wife and his grandnephew, Jiang Lingxu.

After getting support from her daughter, Jiang Wenhu told her husband about her plan to resign and come back to help her uncle start a company.

Jiang Runcheng’s first thought was: Is my wife planning to turn into a career woman in her mid-fifties?

And with their daughter encouraging her mom, he, as her husband... couldn’t fall behind.

He quickly expressed his support.

During the few days before her uncle and aunt returned to the Imperial City, the couple worked in coordination despite being in their fifties. They looked for office buildings, suitable workshops, and ran around various departments for procedures, successfully completing all the assigned tasks before the relatives arrived in the Imperial City.

With all this hustle and bustle, it was impossible for Jiang Lingxi to remain unaware.

She originally planned to quietly lend a hand to ease their burden, but realized there was no need for her to step in.

Shen Yunqing, her son-in-law, discreetly handled it all.

Thinking that handling the matters of setting up a company was indeed more convenient for Shen Yunqing, Jiang Lingxi focused on seeing Director Feng together with Tong Yue.

When they left, she held a script titled "Gale" in her hand.

But getting the script didn’t guarantee that she could successfully land the role in it. A week later, she and other actors chosen by Director Feng would have to undergo racing training together, and only if the coaches and director unanimously acknowledged their training results could she get the role.

"I didn’t expect the closed training wouldn’t allow even the assistants to join. I’d heard before that Director Feng had exceptionally high standards for the actors in his movies, and now I finally have a taste of it."

Unable to complain in front of Director Feng, Tong Yue couldn’t help but grumble on the way back, followed by a bit of worry, "I heard among the three actors competing with you for this role, one was once a racer abroad. Though not famous, she is a professional after all. If you really can’t compete, don’t force it. ’Yuan Zhao Empress’ still has high ratings and popularity, surpassing several similar shows. Even if you can’t act in this one, there are plenty of scripts lined up for you."

Jiang Lingxi: "Hmm."

Tong Yue: "..."

That was such a perfunctory response!

Back at Xiyuan, after resting briefly and leafing through a few pages of the script, just when she read the entrance of the character she was to play, Jiang Wenhui’s call came through.

"Xixi, we’re welcoming your grand-uncle and grand-aunt this evening. Do you and Yunqing have time to come? If not, it’s fine, they are here now, and there will be plenty of opportunities to meet later."

"We have time, where’s the dinner?"

"It’s great you can come, your dad found a private dining restaurant with good privacy and service, and they say celebrities have dined there too, so you and Yunqing won’t have to worry about being recognized by fans. I’ll send you the address later; you can arrive around six, or later is also fine, we’re all family."

Jiang Lingxi put down her phone and continued to read the script.

When Shen Yunqing returned after finishing his work, the script was already halfway through by her.

If she was initially attracted to the racing theme, now she had a growing fondness for the character she was to play.

Though the character didn’t appear much, its persona and personality were vivid and well-rounded.

Not to mention the script was equally impressive—it was no wonder such a niche genre still attracted many actors vigorously.

Being known as a master of niche film genres, Director Feng was indeed a man of skill.

But being one of three contenders, she had to work harder!

’Giving up’ was a term not allowed in her dictionary.

Shen Yunqing entered to see Jiang Lingxi closing the script, "Are you joining the crew soon?"

"Not yet, Director Feng said there would be closed training first, and he hired a world-class racer as our coach. I also have to compete with two other actresses, and in the end, only one person can get the role."

"Closed training, how long will it last?"

Concerned more about the word ’closed’ than the need to compete, Shen Yunqing inquired.

"It depends on the training results, about half a month to a month."

"Can family visit during the training?"

Jiang Lingxi smiled at him, "Even assistants aren’t allowed, so what do you think? It’s just for a month at most, if I do well, it might wrap up in half a month. Let’s not talk about this, I’ll change clothes, and we’ll go greet grand-uncle and grand-aunt."
