Chapter 923: 671 Relay

Xiao Shan.

The crew of "Returning to the Garden" had finished filming for the day.

Jin Zhuxuan had initially thought that since they were filming this kind of show, they should restore the truest form of rural life, such as sleeping in the village at least, but who knew that as soon as today’s work was announced to be over, the guests would all take a car to the luxury hotel at the foot of the mountain.

It was then she realized that this was in Shenzhou, not the harsh Goryeo toward artists.

Even if it was a bit difficult to adapt, as a foreigner, she couldn’t really say much and just had to respect the local customs.

Probably more exhausted from a day of filming than the actual farmers, once on the bus, most of the guests began to rest with their eyes closed, completely lacking the warmth and friendliness they showed in front of the cameras, and even the assistants didn’t dare to disturb them.

"Are you tired?"

Xia Wanqing asked with concern.

Jin Zhuxuan shook her head and replied in not very fluent Chinese, "It’s okay, it was much harder when I was in Goryeo."

Indeed.

In her view, shows like "Returning to the Garden" had hardly any real workload; it felt more like a leisurely outing.

Compared to her previous schedule in Goryeo, where she had rushed between seven or eight appointments in a single day, it was like heaven and earth.

"Mr. Jiang didn’t lie to me, it’s really good here."

Xia Wanqing looked at her, seemingly blind to being ostracized by the other guests, and content with her lot.

"Mr. Jiang called today."

Jin Zhuxuan’s eyes lit up, which Xia Wanqing noticed.

"He asked if the filming was hard on you."

Then, she suggested, "Do you think you should give Mr. Jiang a call back?"

Jin Zhuxuan seemed moved, but then hesitated, mumbling, "I don’t know what to say..."

As the Oiran of Qinyuan, Xia Wanqing was used to the affairs between men and women.

To some extent,

compared to the entertainment industry, Qinyuan might even be cleaner.

After all, the ladies of Qinyuan had always "sold their art, not their bodies," and she was the first to break new ground.

Thus, the so-called stars weren’t necessarily more noble than Qinyuan’s ladies, but this Goryeo girl who lived and ate with her had shattered her fixed perception of the entertainment industry.

It wasn’t about being arrogant; after undergoing Qinyuan’s systematic training and being influenced by its environment for a long time, in terms of understanding people, without claiming to have profound insight, this former Oiran of Qinyuan definitely had extraordinary perception.

She knew, this Goryeo idol, exiled from her homeland, wasn’t feigning innocence but truly was as unblemished as a lotus flower rising from the mud.

Or could it be that this rare purity in the entertainment industry was precisely the reason why he had gone to the trouble of bringing her back from Goryeo?

"Mr. Jiang knows about your falling into the water last time."

Xia Wanqing said.

"Sister Wanqing, you didn’t tell Mr. Jiang anything, did you?" Jin Zhuxuan asked nervously.

"I just stated the facts," Xia Wanqing replied.

Hearing this, Jin Zhuxuan’s face, pretty as flowers and jade, immediately showed signs of worry.

"Sister Wanqing, I asked you not to mention it, really, it was just my own carelessness."

Xia Wanqing revealed a faint smile, "He’s the boss; he asked me to speak, how could I hide it?"

Jin Zhuxuan was at a loss for words.

"You are an artist under his company, and it’s only right for Jiang Chen to inquire."

"I’ve already caused him a lot of trouble."

Jin Zhuxuan clenched her hands. When she was desperate in Goryeo and almost hopeless, it was he, like an angel, who had rescued her from the abyss.

Of course.

Their "past", Jin Zhuxuan had not mentioned to Xia Wanqing, even though she was her first friend in Shenzhou.

She might be different from the average female star, but that didn’t mean she was naive; some things could be shared, but others had to be buried in her heart, a secret between her and him.

"Don’t you consider Mr. Jiang a friend?"

Xia Wanqing asked.

Becoming friends with the boss.

If it were in Goryeo, one wouldn’t even dare to think it.

But at this time, Jin Zhuxuan was nodding vigorously with her bright eyes, without a second thought.

"The best way to strengthen a friendship is to keep bothering them."

Jin Zhuxuan seemed to sort of understand, blinking adorably; if her fans saw this, they would probably go crazy with excitement.

"You said it yourself, it’s just a small matter; Mr. Jiang isn’t unreasonable."

Xia Wanqing ended the conversation topic.

They arrived at the hotel.

Got out of the car and went upstairs.

In the corridor booked by the program team for their exclusive use, the two women encountered the resident female guest of the program, the actress Yin Dailan, whose acting skills were hard to compliment.

It was unclear what had happened, but she was berating her assistant severely; the female assistant stood with her head down, almost ready to cry.

Jin Zhuxuan initially wanted to step forward and mediate, but she stopped before she could take a step.

Through the period of recording the program, she had evidently realized how difficult the other party was, so she could only look at the assistant sympathetically and go back to her room with Xia Wanqing.

"Yin Dailan?"

Over the phone, Fei Yi sneered, seemingly rather disdainful of this traffic-attracting actress.

"Jiang, why are you checking on her?"

Entertainment industry matters naturally require consulting someone from the industry.

Shi Qianxi, his childhood friend, or rather her family, held significant influence in the domestic entertainment.

Back then, a simple phone call from Shi Qianxi could arrange for a star like Ning Hui to accompany them.

CX Entertainment had been able to operate smoothly, also relying on their robust support.

Many of the core staff members during the early days of CX Entertainment, including Cui Heng, were brought in by them.

"One of my company’s artists joined the same variety show as her, and she’s been giving him a hard time during the recordings, so I wanted to check out her background."

She was Shi Qianxi’s childhood friend.

And she had also helped him before.

So there was no need to beat around the bush.

"Ha ha."

Fei Yi laughed, "Jiang, it’s not at all surprising. This Yin Dailan is famous for her diva behavior, lacking both acting skills and EQ. I don’t know why so many people like her. Is her face that pretty?"

A vase couldn’t possibly achieve such high success in the fiercely competitive entertainment industry.

After all, the industry never lacked beauties.

"Young Master Yi, do you know who her boss is?"

Jiang Chen asked straightforwardly.

"Her bosses are too many to count."

Fei Yi seemed to know all the trade secrets of the entertainment world and said with a casual laugh, "Though she lacks EQ, she’s quite skilled at climbing the social ladder; otherwise, she wouldn’t have gone from a young model to a top influencer today. Her current position is all thanks to being bolstered by various men, just like a relay race. Her current sugar daddy, it seems, is Huang Zhongshuo; they’re dating, and he’s her official boyfriend."

Huang Zhongshuo.

Also a person from the entertainment industry.

He was an actor constantly oscillating between idol and serious roles.

He had starred in quite a few terrible films, but also many good ones, so the audience’s opinions of him were mixed.

After more than twenty years of struggle, Huang Zhongshuo was no longer just an actor.

Outside, he was respectfully called Master Huang and held a significant status within the circle.

Jiang Chen had even watched a historical drama starring him as a child, a TV show that was also his rise to fame.

"Jiang, if you need Yin Dailan’s shady history, I can have someone compile it and send it to you."

Fei Yi laughed with ill intentions.

Jiang Chen responded briefly with two words.

"Thanks."
