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

Chapter 524 I think Instructor Li is very reliable. Who gave you the authority to investigate Jiang Hanying?
Jiang Hanying looked at the director who was blocking her way with her cheap master and frowned. "Why did you have to say it now of all times? You better be in trouble."

"This idea just popped into my head, so I rushed over. Hanying, when you went to work this morning, didn't you tell me to find a reliable person to play the role of Prince Changling? Well, I've found a reliable one now."

As the director spoke with a smile, he couldn't help but glance at Li Chengxiao, who was standing to the side.

The meaning was so obvious that Jiang Hanying must be blind to not understand it.

"You want the drill instructor to play the Prince of Changling?"

"That's exactly what I mean," the director nodded vigorously. "I remember Instructor Li has experience participating in variety shows. Actually, it's not that different from filming. As long as you're not afraid of the camera, you're halfway to success. Besides, the role of Prince Changling doesn't have many scenes. If we film it all at once, it can be wrapped up in a week, no, three or four days. I wonder if Instructor Li is interested? The pay is negotiable, and it'll be more than the previous one!"

After saying that, he waited expectantly for a response.

Jiang Hanying couldn't help but roll her eyes. "You really know how to take advantage of the people around me!"

The previous Shuangshuang sister has now set her sights on her cheap master!
The director was taken aback by her criticism, then remembered that the princess from the Southern Kingdom who had helped out during filming in the studio was also a friend of Jiang Hanying.

"It's because everyone around you, Hanying, is so good-looking, regardless of gender, and of course you are too."

Jiang Hanying immediately felt pleased by the compliment.

Turning his head, he saw his cheap owner looking thoughtful. Without directly refusing, he raised an eyebrow and asked, "Do you want to act?"

Li Chengxiao recalled watching Jiang Hanying and Gao Haoqian, who had been chopped into a charred corpse, filming in Quefanglou, separated by a stage and a screen.

This was partly the reason he acted so impulsively that night.

Now they're going to replace the actor, which means all the scenes that were filmed before will have to be reshot with the new actor.

"Do you have a script for the story of Prince Changling?"

Upon hearing his question, the director knew there was a chance, and his face almost lit up with a smile.

"Yes, yes, please follow me. Don't worry, Instructor Li, after the actor who played the Prince of Changling had an accident, out of consideration for privacy, the costumes and accessories he wore before have all been disposed of. The new costume and accessories teams are working hard to purchase and produce them, so you don't need to worry about that."

As Jiang Hanying walked, she couldn't help but scratch her cheap owner's palm, "You're really planning to act?"

"We can give it a try."

"Okay, as long as you're happy."

The director may not have many other things, but he has a lot of backup scripts.

Soon I found a document about the character of Prince Changling. He didn't have many scenes, and it was only a few pages long.

Li Chengxiao glanced at the book and immediately saw the scene of the opera house in the first act.

Looking at the details below, it became clear that the film was shot that night at Quefang Tower.

Looking further down, there was another scene that needed to be filmed on a bed, and his eyes narrowed slightly.

Jiang Hanying tilted her head and looked at him too, noticing the change in the aura beside her, and then looking at where her cheap master's gaze was falling, "Fake, fake, fake!"

Li Chengxiao gave a soft "hmm" and looked up at the director who was still waiting for his reply. "Okay."

The director immediately beamed and, seizing the opportunity, asked, "Did Instructor Li bring his ID? Shall we sign the contract first?"

It's safer to sign a contract; we can't let this opportunity slip away.

"I didn't bring it today. I'll bring Hanying over tomorrow morning, and she can sign it while she's here."

"Alright, alright, you guys go ahead and do what you need to do, I won't keep you any longer. Instructor Li can take this script with him, he can memorize his lines first, and also practice his scenes with Han Ying. You two have quite a few scenes together."

Jiang Hanying's eyes lit up; she hadn't expected this kind of convenience.

I'll have to make my cheap owner call her Teacher Jiang. Just thinking about it makes me so happy!
After saying goodbye to the director and walking a distance, Jiang Hanying was lightly flicked on the head. "What kind of mischief are you up to now?"

"Hey, I won't tell you."

As soon as the two left, the film set became lively for a while.

"Is this some kind of blatant attempt to cover it up?"

"I remember you weren't this close the last time you visited the set." "Is it possible you just started dating recently?"

"I must say, this generous and open attitude is quite appealing."

"The key is that the male and female leads are both incredibly good-looking. Even as a die-hard fan, I couldn't help but start shipping them when I saw them standing together."

"Does anyone know why the director just stopped them?"

“I was close by and I saw the director hand over a script or something, and he mentioned something about the Prince of Changling.”

"I remember Jiang Hanying's boyfriend participated in a variety show live recording, right?"

"I even watched 'Absolute Experience 2'. I remember the scene where Instructor Li appeared even trended on social media, purely because of his good looks."

"I have a bold guess."

"Could it be that the director couldn't find anyone else, so he simply invited Instructor Li to play the role of Prince Changling?"

"If you put it that way, then I'll start looking forward to it."

"Looking forward to adding one more!"

Yuan Chaoyu watched as Jiang Hanying and Li Chengxiao disappeared from sight, pursed his lips, and lowered his head to continue reading the script in his hand.

Before I'd even read two lines of dialogue, it started with "Young Miss".

She turned her head and saw the assistant she had ordered to investigate Jiang Hanying walking quickly towards her. His usually composed face showed obvious fear and panic, which made her heart skip a beat.

Forcing himself to calm down, he asked, "What's wrong?"

"Miss, Mr. Yuan is calling."

Yuan Chaoyu's hand trembled, and the script almost fell to the ground. He quickly reached out to take the phone that was handed to him, took a deep breath, waved to his assistant, and then carefully swiped to answer the call.

"Brother."

"You want to investigate Jiang Hanying?"

"Brother, I just..."

"Who gave you that authority?"

The cold voice coming from the microphone made Yuan Chaoyu's face turn even paler. She clenched her fists, her nails digging into her palms. Enduring the throbbing pain in her heart, she opened her mouth and mustered the courage to ask the question she had wanted to ask for a long time: "Brother, do you have feelings for Jiang Hanying?"

"Yes."

The immediate and unwavering answer caused Yuan Chaoyu to curl up in a ball on the chair, his undershirt instantly soaked with cold sweat.

"But Jiang Hanying already has a boyfriend, Li Chengxiao. He even came to the set to pick her up from get off work today, and they didn't hide it at all in public. They were just leaving hand in hand. Are you still planning to..."

"So what? Xiao Yu, don't do anything to upset me again."

“…I understand, brother.”

After subconsciously replying, Yuan Chaoyu took the phone from his ear to his eyes and looked at it, only to find that the call had already ended.

The assistant, who had stepped aside, noticed something was wrong and quickly walked over. Upon seeing Yuan Chaoyu's current state, she was immediately alarmed. "Miss, are you feeling unwell? I'll get right away..."

“No need,” Yuan Chaoyu testified slowly, leaning on the armrest of his chair. “There’s no need to investigate Jiang Hanying. Have my assistant come over to touch up my makeup. You go and tell the director that I’m rested and we can start filming right away.”

Seeing her resolute attitude, the assistant dared not say anything more and left, turning back every few steps.

Yuan Chaoyu then closed his eyes, a bitter smile appearing on his lips.

She never imagined that one day she would need to numb herself with her favorite job!
Compared to her brother's plan to snatch Jiang Hanying away even though he knew she already had a lover, what does the director's special treatment amount to?

She shouldn't have had the idea to have her assistant investigate; at least that way she could have deceived herself.

She regretted it!
