After being universally criticized online, I went viral on military-themed variety shows.

Chapter 156 This is the head of the family's intention; the patient who can't be found...

"Happy cooperation!"

"Happy cooperation!"

Li Zhi and Guan Shan stood up and shook hands with smiles on their faces.

"We'll discuss the specific details when we get back."

"no problem."

The two people in front walked and talked, while Yuan Chaoyu followed behind with his eyes down.

Just before getting on the bus, I couldn't help but turn around and glance in Jiang Hanying's direction.

If a pie suddenly fell from the sky, this person would be overjoyed!

Jiang Hanying felt completely bewildered by the stares.

Something?

Yuan Chaoyu got into the car, holding his breath.

After Li Zhi finished talking to Guan Shan and got into the car to sit next to him, she reached out and opened the partition. Her voice couldn't help but sound a bit questioning, "Sister Li, I'm afraid you didn't come to pick me up today specifically, but for Jiang Hanying, right?"

Li Zhi slowly touched up her lipstick, and after listening to the steady breathing of the person next to her, she pursed her lips and replied, "Chao Yu, I am just doing something that is beneficial to the company and also responsible to the head of the family."

"Jiang Hanying is just a third-tier actress. A month ago, she was embroiled in scandals and couldn't even have a moment's peace while filming a show. She was criticized by netizens and trended on social media. Moreover, she offended someone to the point that the other party was willing to hire someone to deal with her. Why did our company have to invite such a controversial star to act in our drama? We could have invited any actress, even a first or second-tier star, who would have been eager to take the role?"

Yuan Chaoyu became more and more excited as he spoke, and Li Zhi even closed her eyes while listening.

After she finished venting, she spoke softly, "This is also the head of the family's intention. You heard what I said to her in your dormitory before. I really wanted to recruit her, but unfortunately she wasn't interested, so I had to settle for second best."

The word "head of the family" was like a bucket of ice water poured over his head, instantly turning Yuan Chaoyu's ignited firecracker into a silent flame.

A sudden tightness in my chest.

He struggled to speak: "What does my brother mean by this?"

Li Zhi replied irrelevantly, "You've finally finished your work, so don't think about anything nonsense. Lie down and rest for a while. I'll call you when we get there."

As he spoke, he adjusted Yuan Chaoyu's chair to sleep mode.

Yuan Chaoyu couldn't sleep at all, but seeing that Li Zhi was already preparing to work, he could only swallow his words.

Compared to the somber atmosphere on this side of the train, the atmosphere on the other side was much more relaxed and comfortable.

Guan Shan pretended not to see Jiang Hanying's little glance that wanted to touch the steering wheel, and quickly opened the driver's side door and got in.

It's impossible for Jiang Hanying to drive; she'd better sit in the back.

"You all need to fasten your seatbelts in the back as well."

After the two of them fastened their seatbelts, he stepped on the gas and started the car.

As we exited the base, I saw Jiang Hanying turn her head to look in the direction of the base in the rearview mirror. "Reluctant to leave? Speaking of which, I didn't even have a chance to thank your instructors this time. When that incident happened before, they not only helped a lot, but also took the blame for the whole afternoon."

"He doesn't care about that."

"Oh, how did you know?" Guan Shan's smile suddenly froze, and he stared intently at Jiang Hanying's face for two seconds. "You..."

"what?"

"No, it's nothing."

Maybe he didn't originally have that thought, but saying it might have made him think that way. Just to be safe, it's best not to say anything.

At the same time, she changed the subject, saying, "The drama that Li Zhi invited you to participate in is probably a sure thing, barring any unforeseen circumstances. I got your schedule from Pei Yuan from the previous year. The last time you filmed was for a web drama at the beginning of the year, and it's still being shelved. You'll get rusty if you don't act for a long time. Go back and rest tonight, and start taking some acting classes tomorrow."

Jiang Hanying quickly asked, "Where are the classes held?"

"Right in the studio's performance classroom, our studio has invited performance teachers who come to the studio to teach every Tuesday and Thursday, and tomorrow happens to be Tuesday."

"That's fine."

She doesn't dislike attending classes; she's willing to try anything she's never been exposed to before.

But if she needs to go to another place for classes, what will she do about the studio she misses so much, with its three meals a day, afternoon tea, and late-night snacks? Now that she's out at the base, she doesn't want to miss a single meal!

At first, Guan Shan didn't understand why Jiang Hanying specifically asked where the classes were, but when he saw her relieved when she heard that the classes were in the studio, he understood everything in an instant.

“You ate so much at the base before because of the high intensity of training, so I didn’t care. But now that we’re not training anymore, you can’t eat like that anymore.”

"I don't gain weight no matter how much I eat."

"You're not fat, but you'll look 10 pounds heavier on camera. Even if you gain just a little weight recently, it will be very noticeable on screen. Take Chu Yuan for example. After he left the show, he took on a period drama and is now dieting and exercising. He lost almost 10 pounds in 10 days, and he still didn't meet the director's requirements. That shows how strict they are. Quite a few actors have been cut from the cast just because they gained a little weight."

"I can exercise and maintain the previous intensity, but don't expect me to go on a diet."

Guan Shan: "..."

They're really going all out for a bite to eat!
"If you can maintain your current physique, then I take back what I just said. If you can't, then you have to listen to me and eat less. Xiao Pei will help me keep an eye on it."

Jiang Hanying replied firmly, "Okay."

Pei Yuan nodded with a bitter face.

Li Chengxiao parked the car in a heavily guarded courtyard.

As soon as I got off the bus, I saw a middle-aged man with gray hair standing in the corridor. I quickly walked over and said, "Uncle Sen."

"You've been busy for a month, so take a couple of days to rest and adjust your condition. You'll also have time to go to Jingmo's for a proper check-up."

Li Chengxiao nodded.

"Where's the letter of recommendation? Let me see it."

"No."

"Hmm? You seemed to have a high opinion of that girl named Jiang Hanying. I watched your skydiving training today. She is indeed a bit willful and unruly, but her mental fortitude is truly strong..."

“Uncle Sen,” Li Chengxiao pursed his lips, “After carefully considering her performance over this period, I still feel that she is not suitable for the Skywalker Squad.”

"That's a bit of a pity."

There will always be the right person.

"Alright, then forget it. I've had your room prepared in advance. Go and rest for a bit, and we'll have dinner together tonight."

Li Chengxiao had barely stepped into the house, and before he could even put down his bag, his cell phone rang in his pocket.

Li Jingmo: [You went back to Uncle Sen's?]

Li Chengxiao: [Hmm.]

Li Jingmo: [I've almost finished investigating Ge Dahai, whom you asked me to. There's definitely something strange about this guy. He went from a good-for-nothing hoodlum to an entertainment mogul; I refuse to believe there wasn't someone pushing him back then. He's a scoundrel, and the people who helped him back then probably weren't good people either. And recently, something strange happened to him. I found out that ten days ago he was rushed to the hospital for an acute myocardial infarction, but the very next morning he was suddenly transferred to another hospital. I searched the entire medical system, but I couldn't find which hospital he went to. Isn't that bizarre? There are even patients I can't find!]
