From Nun to Real Heiress: Expert at Turning the Tables

Chapter 718: 369 Joke (2nd Update)

Ming Xin focused on her breath, trying to minimize her presence.

“Average.”

“Why don’t you go back to the Rans and drink? They have all kinds of Junshan Silver Needle and Pre-Ming Longjing, much more high-class than the tea available in my little place. My small temple can’t afford to serve you, such a big Buddha.” Zheng Qing snatched up the teacup in Ming Jing’s hand and sat down opposite her with a huff.

Ming Xin stood up: “I feel a bit stuffy, I’m going out for a walk.”

She disappeared in a flash.

Ming Jing picked up another cup, rinsed the tea, brewed the tea, and poured the brown tea soup back into the jade porcelain cup.

“Don’t be so angry, have some tea to cool down.”

Zheng Qing gulped down the tea and slammed the teacup back onto the table with a “pop.”

“Tell me, what are you planning?”

“No particular plans, just doing what a lady of the Rans should do is enough.”

“It seems that your days as the Rans’ lady are quite good.”

Ming Jing smiled, “How’s the preparation for Wind on the Clouds?”

“All the funds are in place. As for the director, we originally wanted to invite Li Shun, but he had no schedule. What do you think of An Yang and Zhang Maoke?”

Li Shun was a top director, on par with Yu Dawei. He had turned down several invitations, probably because he thought too little of such amateur productions.

An Yang was a rising director in recent years, but his unique style took nitpicking to the extreme; shooting a film was like doing grunt work, one scene could be shot for three months. He was sarcastically referred to as a late-stage procrastination director, and many projects were aborted, causing investors to flee. Most risk-averse investors wouldn’t approach him.

However, he was also the most likely to produce a blockbuster hit, depending on whether there were any gamblers.

Zhang Maoke, on the other hand, was more conservative, being neither the best nor the worst.

Ming Jing casually said, “Then let’s go with An Yang.”

“You really think An Yang is feasible? Have you calculated it? It’s going to be a blockbuster, right?” Zheng Qing asked eagerly.

“I don’t know about the future, but rather than spinning in our comfort zone, why not take a gamble? We might get unexpected results.”

“Miss, that’s an investment of billions, I’ve put all my worth into it, and I’ve begged and cajoled several investors. If you mess this up, my son’s milk money will be gone. Will you raise my son for me then?”

It was indeed a crazy gamble to bet billions.

“No venture, no gain. There’s always a risk in doing anything, it just depends on the size.”

“It’s strange, A Yu said the same thing.” Zheng Qing eyed Ming Jing suspiciously.

Ming Jing lowered her gaze, calmly sipping her tea.

“An Yang is temperamental, and you might need to put in some effort to sign him. I’ll send you the script within three days; bring it with you when you approach him. Your chances of success might be higher.”

Distracted by Ming Jing’s interruption, Zheng Qing stopped thinking about her previous question.

“He’s just a director, how dare he be so arrogant with such a huge investment project?”

“Geniuses always have some quirks, let alone an eccentric one.”

“By the way, speaking of Bo Yujiang, this woman demanded to see the script and wanted to meddle in the screenwriting work. I refused outright. She’s obviously not an easy one to handle.”

“No need, let her come.”

Zheng Qing raised an eyebrow at her: “You said so, I’ll agree then.”

Ever since seeing Bo Yujiang last time, she had been feeling uneasy, dreaming of A Yu several times and secretly investigating Bo Yujiang. However, the mysteries surrounding this person were simply too numerous. Her records before returning to the Bos were falsified, and Zheng Qing recognized a familiar touch in the process.

It was WT’s method, and Bo Yujiang’s background also had traces of WT. Things were getting more complicated.

Moreover, Bo Yujiang’s face, which was surgically altered to resemble A Yu, might reveal the truth behind A Yu’s death once the enigma around Bo Yujiang was unraveled.

However, for the time being, it was best not to tell Ming Jing.

Zheng Qing pulled open the drawer, took out a USB flash drive, and handed it to Ming Jing: “The things you wanted are all in here.””The situation in the Ran family is complicated, with numerous open and covert struggles, especially Ran Tengxiao, who is cunning and treacherous. You might think you’ve deceived him, but you never know if he’s actually playing along with your plan. In any case, you should never let your guard down while you’re in the Ran family. If anything seems wrong, be sure to contact me.”

——

With the joint statement from Director Yu Dawei and the Flame’s crew, Ming Xin’s identity as Lady Yu is nailed to the signboard, causing half doubt and half expectation from the outside world.

The biggest highlight of Ming Xin is that she is Ming Jing’s senior sister and the real daughter of the Zhus. In the words of netizens, her appearance and figure are not eye-catching in the entertainment industry. Ming Jing would have been more reliable than her senior sister if she had promoted herself, definitely outshining all the actresses in the entertainment industry. However, Ming Jing does not have such ambitions.

Out of respect for Ming Jing, the public is willing to give Ming Xin a chance, maybe she has a talent for acting? After all, even Yu Dawei came forward to speak for her, and everyone has witnessed how hard his temper is and how unyielding he can be with the capital.

While people were still questioning and expecting on one hand, the other side’s hot search list had already exploded three times, and public attention was instantly drawn to the newer and more exciting news. Nobody cares about how good Ming Xin’s acting is and whether she has the capital worth promoting.

—— Yamei Media’s largest shareholder, Mr. Gong, exposed for illegal trading!

—— Xiao Wenwen, a habitual third-party home wrecker!

—— Xiao Wenwen slapped by Mr. Gong’s wife on set and shamefully fled!

Xiao Wenwen can be considered a rising star lately. Although she was previously in a vortex due to a subtle insinuation against Ming Jing on a show, and shamed by the love affair between her and the married man, after a period of low profile, she came back stronger. With much effort spent on marketing, her previous dark history was washed away and her reputation spruced up online, gradually regaining the momentum of a rising star.

However, not long after, her cover was blown again. This time, no amount of water army can help. The public will not forgive her again.

And with the previous black materials being dug up, there’s no chance for her to turn things around.

Later, a few more actors were exposed with scandals, and people were curious about what was going on today. Everyone was like jackals in a melon field…

“Again, you’re going to such a messy place, don’t you have any sense of being an idol? If you don’t want to be famous, just get lost.”

Standing in front of Zheng Qing is a young man with a guitar on his back, giving off a cool street style vibe.

Ming Xin pulled A Wen who just passed by and asked, “What’s going on?”

A Wen helplessly said, “It’s Dong Jiahe. He used to perform in bars, but Brother Qing told him to quit and focus on preparing for the audition show. Who would’ve known that he’d sneak there behind Brother Qing’s back? That place is too chaotic, and if he becomes famous and gets exposed, it’ll be a huge handicap.”

Among the four newcomers signed by Brother Qing, Dong Jiahe was the most disobedient and was bound to cause trouble sooner or later.

The young man’s lips were pursed, and his stubbornness showed in his cold, determined eyes. “Can I get my salary for one year in advance?”

Zheng Qing laughed incredulously, “One year’s salary? How bold of you to ask. What value have you brought me? Why should I advance you one year’s salary?”

“I’ve already written the song for the audition.”

“And what makes you think your song will definitely be popular? Do you think you’re the next Qu Feitai? Remember your identity; you’re just a trainee now. If I catch you at a bar again, I’ll terminate our contract, and you can live at the bar for all I care.”

Zheng Qing left after dropping his ultimatum.

The young man stood silently in place, his lips tightly pursed.

Zheng Qing slammed the door of his office and instructed Xiao Wen, “Go find out if he’s been in any trouble at the bar lately.”

That place was a nest of dragons and snakes, gathering place for all kinds of riffraffs. This kid was foolish and might be easily deceived.

Xiao Wen replied efficiently, “I’ll investigate right away.”

Zheng Qing loosened his collar, feeling annoyed.

Ming Jing stood up, “You should rest early, too. I’m going back now.”n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

“I’ll escort you downstairs and get some fresh air, none of these kids put my mind at ease.”

Thinking of something, Zheng Qing’s face showed a rare smile, “Speaking of which, that young man you recommended, Yan Chen, is quite good. He has great potential. If Dong Jiahe doesn’t work out, I’m thinking of promoting Yan Chen for the audition show.”

“It’s up to you.”

The elevator opened, and Ming Xin yawned and walked out first. Zheng Qing lagged behind and lowered his voice to ask, “I almost forgot to ask you, what’s the deal between you and that Dr. Bo?”

Ming Jing crooked her lips, “Friends.”

“Is it really that simple? No other thoughts?”

Ming Jing’s eyebrows slightly furrowed, and her usually gentle tone instantly sank, “You can’t joke about this.”

Zheng Qing found it a bit strange since she didn’t react so much when he used to tease her about Ming Jing and Qu Feitai, or even Shen Zhou.
