After Being Blackened All Over the Internet, I Ruled the Military Variety -
Chapter 687 - 677: Go for a Stroll to Clear the Mind
Chapter 687: Chapter 677: Go for a Stroll to Clear the Mind
After all, the situation Jiang Lingxi faces now is completely different from when she shot the first episode back then.
At that time, there was no way out, and she had to take a gamble. Fortunately, she managed to gain some traction even amidst widespread criticism.
But now, she’s not lacking in attention, and there are more opportunities to choose from in front of her.
Therefore, even Li Shuo just tentatively made a phone call, not holding too much hope deep down.
But actually, Jiang Lingxi is quite fond of this theme.
"Survival" is considered her first complete job since her rebirth. The previous programs were just tidying up the mess left by the original owner.
And compared to other variety shows where you have to sing, dance and play games under the host’s guidance on stage, she still prefers the more exciting "Survival".
Seeing Jiang Lingxi pondering, seemingly interested, Tong Yue pursed her lips, "Director Li also said there might be some new challenges this time."
She could tell from Director Li’s tone that although he wasn’t very hopeful, he definitely was hoping Jiang Lingxi could join.
"What about the other guests?"
"Except for Jiang Xiyu who has a schedule conflict, the original team is mostly there, and it seems there will be a few new guests." She paused, "Are you planning to go? I was thinking of finding you a major script after ’Empress Yuan Zhao’ broadcasts and the hype is high."
"If there’s a good script, I’ll take it; if not, then I won’t."
"Got it," Tong Yue nodded reluctantly, "You’re waiting for a role you want to play, right? Then I’ll call Director Li back, and also inquire about next year’s productions in the circle, and discuss them with you."
Jiang Lingxi took advantage of the situation, "Thank you, Sister Tong."
"What’s there to thank? I only do well if you do well. Take good care of your injury, let me know when you’re better, no need to send me off."
Liang Qingqing watched Tong Yue enter the elevator with Jiang Lingxi, and before returning to the office, she saw Shen Yunqing and Assistant He walking from the other end of the corridor.
So she stood still and waited.
"Qingqing, you go have lunch first."
Liang Qingqing nodded, "Then I’ll come back to look after you after lunch."
"No rush; you can rest a bit before coming back up."
"Alright."
As Liang Qingqing turned and went downstairs, Shen Yunqing happened to arrive in front of Jiang Lingxi.
"All done?"
"Finished the morning stuff," Shen Yunqing reached out to grasp Jiang Lingxi’s wrist, "There are a few more meetings this afternoon, might be a bit late getting home tonight."
Jiang Lingxi glanced at him, noticing the tired look on his face, and was pulled into the office, "Eat lunch later and take a good rest before going out again."
"Okay."
The response was so quick and smooth that Assistant He, arranging the files, couldn’t help but glance over.
Back then, he almost wore his mouth out trying to get the boss to rest, yet a single sentence from the boss’s wife worked wonders!
Indeed, some things just vanish without notice.
No, he never really had them in the first place.
He couldn’t stay in that office any longer.
"Boss, ma’am, I’ll go grab lunch from the cafeteria."
"Xiao Zhou is probably still next door playing games, take him along."
Roping in extra help was something Assistant He was happy to do, so he quickly agreed and went out to get him.
While the two went to get food and hadn’t returned, Jiang Lingxi asked Shen Yunqing to get her phone, "Call An’an on video."
"Is it about going to the temple tomorrow?"
"Mm."
Xu Ling’an quickly answered from the other end.
"Sister."
"I’m back home. Is your school on break already?"
"Yes, it’s been three days. Grandma and I saw Sister walking the runway on the phone; you looked just like a queen."
Jiang Lingxi found it amusing when Xu Ling’an earnestly praised her. Just as she was about to speak, she heard another voice from Xu Ling’an’s side.
"How’s the patient in room 303 today?"
Xu Ling’an hurriedly covered the receiver, but it was too late. She watched helplessly as her sister’s expression on the screen darkened.
"You’re at the hospital? Who’s sick?"
That explained why the girl was standing so rigidly against a white wall.
"It’s Grandpa. He got upset by Zhang Lingzhou this time."
Jiang Lingxi thought for a moment, "Lingxuan’s brother? What did he do?"
"He got into a fight and ended up with a pierced kidney. He’s also staying in this hospital to recover."
Jiang Lingxi: "..."
This Zhang family is pretty much done for.
"Is it serious?"
"Just a momentary outburst of anger, but he’s recovering now. The doctor said he could be discharged in two more days."
Jiang Lingxi nodded. The old man was quite resilient.
Perhaps it was also because of An’an; the girl was a great comfort to him.
"An’an, I’ll take you to the temple tomorrow to pray."
Even with her sharp mind, Xu Ling’an couldn’t quite grasp the sudden topic shift, "Pray to Buddha?"
"Also to relax a bit, just you and me, and," Jiang Lingxi glanced at Shen Yunqing, "your brother-in-law, no one else."
Xu Ling’an was tempted.
For over half a year, no, ever since she met her sister, too many things had happened around her; calling it a life upheaval was no exaggeration.
There were many joyful things, but also quite a few distressing ones.
Relaxing, especially with her sister, just thinking about it felt very soothing.
But looking around the hospital hallway, "Then, I’ll reply to Sister later."
"Alright, it’s lunchtime now, remember to eat, I’ll wait for your message."
After hanging up, Xu Ling’an returned to her grandfather’s hospital room.
Though the room was spacious, Zhang Nachuan wasn’t sharing it with his troublesome grandson; he got angry just seeing the boy.
Seeing his granddaughter return: "An’an’s back, did your sister call?"
"Yes, Sister is back home."
"It’s been a while since you sisters met, don’t just stay with me all the time. Zhang Ye and the caregivers are here, go meet your sister and have a meal."
Zhang Nachuan felt guilty for this granddaughter he regained and also due to all the targeting from his eldest son’s family. Honestly, the more filial she was to him, the guiltier he felt.
Xu Ling’an poured a glass of water and handed it over, "Sister said she wanted to take me to the temple tomorrow, also to relax a bit."
Zhang Nachuan almost spat out the water he had just drunk upon hearing this.
Jiang Lingxi probably thought ever since her granddaughter recognized him as her grandfather, her luck’s been bad?
It does make sense.
Come to think of it, there’s no way to refute that.
"Go, have a good time, enjoy the day, then come back and have a nice sleep."
When Assistant He and Shen Qingzhou returned carrying a food box each, Jiang Lingxi received Xu Ling’an’s reply.
She also provided the address of the hospital.
"We’ll pick her up at the hospital entrance tomorrow."
Shen Yunqing nodded.
Shen Qingzhou diligently set the table and turned to the two waiting to eat, "By the way, Sister-in-law’s hand is injured, how is she going to eat?"
Jiang Lingxi was looking at the dishes on the table, and casually replied, "Don’t worry, someone will feed me."
Shen Qingzhou immediately looked towards his big cousin.
He seemed to understand why he saw his sister-in-law here.
Apparently, because the ’feeding tool’ had to work!
Assistant He quickly packed away the food boxes, "You three take your time eating, I’m heading out first."
