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

Chapter 327 The Arrogant and Overbearing Xin Linglong, Upon Meeting
Seeing this, Yun Fan merely raised an eyebrow imperceptibly.

After Xin Linglong and her team left, Jiang Hanying nodded and went into the dressing room she shared with Xin Linglong across the street.

As for why Xin Linglong treated Jiang Hanying coldly, she knew perfectly well why.

It's just that he's a high-profile celebrity but gets a low billing, so he feels unbalanced.

But what can you do even if you're not convinced? It's already a done deal.
Jiang Hanying nodded to Yun Fanhui, then turned and went back to her dressing room with Pei Yuan and the others.

As soon as she sat down, Jiu Ye came over to remove her accessories and fix her hair, while Cheng Beibei also prepared makeup remover wipes.

The two stood on either side of Jiang Hanying, looked up at each other, and saw the hesitation on each other's faces.

Pei Yuan was still angry about Xin Linglong's inconsistent attitude towards Yun Fan and her own sister Han Ying. As soon as she closed the door, she couldn't help but mutter under her breath, "What does she have to be so upset about? Who plays what role is decided by the director and producers. If she's so capable, why doesn't she go and snort at them? Really..."

Jiang Hanying glanced at Pei Yuan, who was standing up for her in the mirror, then looked at Cheng Beibei and Jiu Ye, who seemed to have something to say but hesitated. "Do you two have something to say?"

“Uh,” Cheng Beibei spoke first, “it’s Xin Linglong, we even had to step in for her before.”

Pei Yuan leaned over and asked, "You guys even did her makeup and styling? Is she always this arrogant behind the scenes?"

"Pretty much. We were in the same production crew, but it was a modern drama. Xin Linglong was playing the second female lead, and the makeup artist in charge of her job suddenly left halfway through. Our studio happened to be in a vacancy at the time, so we hastily took on this job. Later," Cheng Beibei's expression became somewhat complicated, "after we worked there for a while, we pretty much guessed why the previous makeup artist had left."

"Can't stand her?"

"Well, the makeup artist before us wasn't very experienced at the time, but being chosen to do the makeup for the second female lead meant she had the ability and vision. But Xin Linglong was dissatisfied with her from the beginning, and since she didn't dare to argue with the person who made the arrangement, she created all sorts of trouble to force her to leave. She wasn't really satisfied with the rest of us either. We were bombarded with all sorts of unreasonable demands every day, and thankfully she wasn't as harsh as she was with the previous makeup artist. I guess she was afraid that if she replaced her again, the new one wouldn't be as capable as us. At least we managed to hold out until her character finished filming, and then we were finally free."

Jiuye sorted and packed away the accessories she had taken off, then took a comb and started combing Jiang Hanying's hair. She then picked up on Cheng Beibei's words, who was starting to remove her makeup: "And when Xin Linglong was on set, I remember she once slapped the face of the actress she was acting opposite so hard that it was swollen and her mouth was cracked. She couldn't even touch up her makeup. At the time, many people on set, even the director, couldn't stand it. Her reason was that she was too immersed in the role."

Lu Lu chimed in, "That actress seems to be a newcomer. That was her first film. Apparently, she developed a psychological trauma from that film and retired from the entertainment industry."

Pei Yuan's brows furrowed into a deep frown as she listened, and after hearing the young actor's story, she felt a surge of tension.

She had read through the script of "The Richest Woman in the Country" and still remembers it clearly. The script had quite a few scenes between the second and fourth female leads.

After all, one was a palace maid and the other was a concubine, and many stories that took place in the palace involved the two of them.

Consort Xiao, an arrogant and domineering character, routinely bullied and punished palace maids. Although Li Minghe was the second female lead, she was weak in the early stages and was also punished by Consort Xiao before she had grown up.

Slapping...it seems like it happened in the story too.

Xin Linglong was so unscrupulous in treating a newcomer actress, and now she has to face Han Ying, who is already resentful... How can she believe that this person will show mercy!

It might even go further!
After Cheng Beibei and the others finished their work and left, Pei Yuan saw them to the door, saying, "Thank you for reminding me."

Now that things have come to this, how could she not realize the other person's intention in bringing up this past event? It was a reminder to Sister Hanying and herself.

Although I haven't figured out how to deal with Xin Linglong if she really wants to take advantage of the situation, I have to accept this favor for now.

The three of them quickly waved their hands, saying, "You're welcome."

"We were just casually saying what we knew."

Now that they know Jiang Hanying has already hooked up with Teacher Duanmu, a powerful figure, they certainly can't miss this opportunity to curry favor.

After closing the door, Pei Yuan turned around, and Jiang Hanying saw her worried face reflected in the mirror. "Sister, what should we do?"

"What do you mean?"

"Your scenes with Xin Linglong, I remember there was more than just slapping, there was also something about hitting hands. Xin Linglong is currently resentful that you have a higher billing in the drama than her. When filming scenes like this, she might take the opportunity to settle her personal score!"

"Don't worry, I won't let myself suffer." Jiang Hanying handed over the contour powder in her hand. "Don't think about that. Help me with yesterday's makeup."

Pei Yuan subconsciously took it, then picked out a clean makeup brush before realizing, "Sis, are you going out again?"

"Okay, I'm going out for lunch. You don't need to come with me this time."

Pei Yuan paused again, "But..."

“No buts,” it would be fine if it were anything else, but the idea of ​​a stone embryo is too fantastical for ordinary people, it’s practically a challenge to their worldview. “You can stay at the hotel, or go out and have some fun by yourself.”

Sensing the unquestionable certainty in Jiang Hanying's tone, Pei Yuan could only nod with a bitter expression.

Halfway through her makeup, Jiang Hanying received a message on her phone.

I've arrived near the film studio.

Jiang Hanying thought for a moment and realized that since they were going to talk about the stone fetus, the small restaurant where they had lunch and dinner yesterday was not suitable.

It's crowded and chaotic, clearly not a good place to talk.

He simply replied with a voice message: "Find a quiet place where you can eat nearby, send me the address, and I'll come over as soon as I'm done here."

Li Chengxiao: [Okay.]

Pei Yuan waited for her to put down her phone, then couldn't resist her curiosity, "Sis, did you make plans for lunch?"

"Ah."

Pei Yuan wanted to ask whether the person she was meeting was male or female, but then she felt that asking such a question might be meddling, so she swallowed the question back.

"All right."

Jiang Hanying looked at her reflection in the mirror—a face that resembled her yet didn't quite look like her—and nodded in satisfaction. She got up, changed into a set of men's clothing, tied her hair up, and put on a baseball cap. "All done."

Finally, she picked up her phone, glanced at the location on the screen—which must have been sent a few minutes earlier when she went inside to change clothes—and waved to Pei Yuan, "Alright, I'm leaving."

Pei Yuan watched her leave, silently praying in her heart: "Brother Guan won't come looking for me at noon!"
After leaving the hotel, Jiang Hanying followed the navigation for nearly twenty minutes, turning and twisting. She looked at the navigation end prompt on her phone screen, then looked up at the black wooden door in front of her, and then turned to look at the carved walls on both sides of the door.

I simply took a picture of the gate and sent it over, along with a voice message: "Are you sure this is it?"

This doesn't look like a place to eat at all!

[Walk the door open and come in.]

Jiang Hanying glanced at the message from her cheap master, then reached out and gently pushed the wooden door open to both sides.

Looking up, I saw two people sitting opposite each other behind the pool in the courtyard. Who else could the one on the left be but the cheap owner!
