Chapter 267 You Know So Much (Please Subscribe)

Honestly, Xu Ye didn't expect that he had such a talent for acting.

Moreover, the feeling of acting is really good.

However, he will not pursue a career in this industry because of this.

At most, I play it occasionally.

In the future, I can just occasionally play a few classic roles in the scripts I "copy".

"Xu Ye, you really have a talent for acting, even more than me." Zhu Lin stared straight at Xu Ye.

She did study acting, but she studied stage performance, which is different from making movies.

But Xu Ye was different; he hadn't studied anything.

As it turned out, Xu Ye performed even better than her, completely exceeding her expectations.

"Sister Lin, you flatter me. I don't have any talent; I'm just acting randomly," Xu Ye said modestly.

"Forget it, I won't praise you anymore, it's too discouraging." Zhu Lin turned away with a sullen expression.

She had very mixed feelings; she really hoped that Xu Ye would enter the entertainment industry with her.

However, she also knew that everyone has their own ambitions, and she couldn't force Xu Ye to be with her.

"Sister Lin, don't be angry. I'll just rehearse with you whenever I have time in the future," Xu Ye said, tugging at Zhu Lin's shoulder.

"That's pretty much it."

"Let's do it again." Zhu Lin said, gathering her emotions for a moment.

Acting together can indeed improve one's skills, so Zhu Lin was very happy with this suggestion.

"Okay." Xu Ye nodded, ready to try again.

There's no one else in the courtyard now except for them.

Lu Tao accompanied Lu Ning to do her homework, while Julie had not yet returned because she had to work the night shift and would not be back until midnight.

Lu Tao will be responsible for picking her up then.

The security situation wasn't very good at that time, and some bad things still happened.

For those who work the night shift, their families will pick them up; otherwise, they simply wouldn't feel at ease.

Since no one was watching, the two of them relaxed a bit.

Xu Ye didn't really get into character; he just tried his best to empathize with the character, to understand the psychology of the role, and the mindset and expression with which the character delivered those lines.

He felt that he was more experienced than Zhu Lin because of what he watched on TV in his past life.

When the two were rehearsing their lines until after 10 p.m., Zhu Lin's acting skills improved significantly under Xu Ye's guidance.

When Julie dragged her tired body home, she saw the two of them performing passionately in the yard.

She left work early today, so Lu Tao hasn't had time to pick her up yet.

"What are you doing here?" Julie stood at the door, looking surprised.

Zhu Lin then came to her senses, a blush rising to her face: "Sister, you're back. We're rehearsing our lines."

"I passed my audition, and I can start filming tomorrow!" Zhu Lin ran to her sister's side, linking arms with her as she shared the good news.

Julie gave the two of them a meaningful look, a slight smile playing on her lips: "Still practicing so late? Looks like it's a very important role."

"Sister!" Zhu Lin said coquettishly, quickly changing the subject: "Are you hungry? I'll go heat up some food for you."

Watching her sister run away in a panic, Julie shook her head and turned to Xu Ye: "Xiao Xu, my sister is simple-minded, so you'll have to take good care of her."

Xu Ye sensed the hidden meaning in her words and said seriously, "Sister Julie, please rest assured, I treat Sister Lin like an older sister, and I will definitely take care of her."

"That's good. It's getting late, you should get some rest." With that, Julie headed towards the house.

Xu Ye glanced at Julie's retreating figure, then went back into the house.

Now that Julie is back, Zhu Lin definitely can't act with him anymore.

Besides, it's getting late.

Lying in bed, he recalled the scene they had rehearsed that evening and couldn't help but smile.

Zhu Lin's focused demeanor during her performance is truly captivating.

“However,” Xu Ye rolled over, his gaze falling on the hole he’d carved in the wall, “now is not the time to consider these things.”

Then, his consciousness entered the mechanical workshop.

He wanted to see what kind of task the system had issued this time.

Upon entering the mechanical workshop, Xu Ye immediately checked the system's task interface.

Task: Design and manufacture a fully automated beverage filling system.

[Task Rewards: 500 Mechanical Attribute Points, one Mechanical Blueprint, and related Knowledge Points.]

Xu Ye was stunned for a moment after seeing the task.

"System, isn't this a bit too big of a leap?"

What was once a high-end jet engine has now become a beverage bottling equipment.

Moreover, they were saying the same thing all along.

To complete a set of equipment is equivalent to setting up an automated production line.

Xu Ye felt that giving a reward of 500 points was not excessive.

This was also the first time the system had asked him to build a complete set of equipment.

Previously, we only worked with single devices.

Moreover, he currently has absolutely no clue about the beverage bottling equipment.

However, he is not too worried now, since there are already beverage factories in China, and he can go and see what equipment is needed.

Perhaps there are also relevant books available for borrowing.

Since there was no time limit for the mission, he wasn't in a hurry.

He neither started any missions nor left the machine workshop.

He hadn't fully absorbed the blueprints and technology for the 9-ton turbofan engine that had been awarded as a prize last time, so he took advantage of the evening to thoroughly review and organize that knowledge.

Before we knew it, it was already past six o'clock the next morning.

As soon as the alarm clock rang in the mechanical workshop, Xu Ye immediately left the workshop.

He made the alarm clock himself, and it's quite accurate in terms of time.

When Xu Ye went out, he noticed that Zhu Lin had not gotten up.

As agreed, I should exercise with him.

However, he didn't go up to ask, since Zhu Lin was probably still sleeping.

However, just as he was about to leave, Zhu Lin opened the door and came out.

"Xu Ye, I'm not feeling well today, so I won't be going to exercise with you guys. I'll go in a few days." Zhu Lin stood at the door with an apologetic look on her face.

Seeing her haggard appearance, Xu Ye knew that Zhu Lin was on her period.

Moreover, her pain must have been severe, tormenting her so much that she barely slept last night.

"Can you still go to film a movie like this?" Xu Ye asked with some concern.

"It's okay, I'll just go to the hospital to get some painkillers later," Zhu Lin said, forcing a smile.

"Wait a minute, I have a bottle of ointment here. Take it and try it; it might relieve the pain." With that, Xu Ye turned and walked into the house.

Then, he took out a bottle of special healing ointment from the system space.

He hasn't tried this product to see if it can relieve menstrual cramps, but he can give it a try.

So he took the ointment and went to Zhu Lin.

"Sister Lin, you should try this. This ointment might work."

"Also, you can try applying heat, which can also help relieve the pain," Xu Ye suggested.

"Okay, you know a lot." Zhu Lin took the ointment from Xu Ye. Although she felt it was useless, it was Xu Ye's good intention after all.

"Then you should go back to your room and lie down," Xu Ye said to Zhu Lin. "Okay." Zhu Lin was already in so much pain that she could barely stand, so she didn't continue standing.

After closing the door, she went back to bed.

After hesitating for a moment, she unscrewed the bottle of ointment that Xu Ye had given her.

It smelled nice, so she scooped some out and applied it to the painful area.

After applying it, she quickly felt a warm sensation.

As the warmth continued to spread, she found that her pain was gradually subsiding.

"What kind of miracle drug is this?" Zhu Lin was dumbfounded.

After all, she has a strong medical background and is very familiar with various medications.

She used to keep painkillers at home, but she didn't bring them with her when she moved here.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have needed to endure a whole night of pain.

"That's amazing! The pain relief works so quickly?"

"What kind of medicine is this?"

Zhu Lin carefully examined the bottle in her hand and found that it had no label and no place to list the ingredients.

It looks like a homemade ointment.

"Never mind, I'll just sleep for a bit, I'm so sleepy." She felt her eyelids were drooping, and she really couldn't stay awake any longer.

Moreover, the warm and comfortable feeling in her lower abdomen made her want to sleep a little longer.

Xu Ye naturally heard Zhu Lin's words inside the room and couldn't help but smile.

Just as he had expected, the special healing ointment was indeed effective.

This ointment has never disappointed him, and it continues to surprise him.

However, the quantity is limited and it is now very difficult to obtain.

The bottles you have are becoming increasingly rare, so use them sparingly.

Xu Ye happily walked out of the courtyard house and then prepared to go to the park to wait for Lin Hang.

As soon as he reached the alley entrance, he noticed something amiss—several unfamiliar faces were loitering nearby, their eyes glancing at him from time to time.

Could it be one of Huang Haoming's men?

After all, apart from Huang Haoming, Xu Ye couldn't think of anyone else who would come looking for him.

Previously, there was his uncle's family, but now they are all in jail, so they can no longer target him.

Xu Ye sneered inwardly, pretending not to notice, and continued walking forward.

He wanted to see what these people were planning to do.

But after he walked away, he realized that those people hadn't followed.

He activated his maximum hearing, but still couldn't hear what those people were saying.

This puzzled him somewhat, leaving him unsure of the situation.

Upon arriving at the park, Xu Ye discovered that Lin Hang was already exercising there.

Clearly, Lin Hang became more proactive.

"Brother Ye, how was your trip to the film studio yesterday? Was it fun?" Lin Hang asked Xu Ye curiously as soon as he saw him.

"It's alright, a bit more interesting than I expected. It's like a film studio, with all sorts of buildings and landscapes."

"In addition, Sister Zhu Lin has also successfully landed the second female lead role in a drama, and filming starts today."

Upon hearing Xu Ye's words, Lin Hang excitedly exclaimed, "Really? Then we can actually see Sister Lin on screen in the future?"

"Of course." Xu Ye smiled slightly.

"I can't believe I actually know an actor." As he spoke, Lin Hang couldn't help but glance at Xu Ye.

"I think Sister Lin will definitely be an excellent actress and will definitely become a big star."

“Wrong, you know more than one, you know two.” Xu Ye couldn’t help but tease.

"two?"

"Who's the other one?" Lin Hang looked at Xu Ye with some confusion.

Xu Ye pointed to himself and grinned, "Me!"

"The assistant director of that drama thought I was very suitable to play the second male lead, so he cast me in that role. I'm going to start filming this weekend."

Lin Hang was dumbfounded when he heard Xu Ye say that.

This news really shocked him.

Weren't the two of them supposed to come back from the countryside together and work at a boiler manufacturing plant? How come Xu Ye became an actor after just one trip to a film studio?
"Aren't you going to work at the factory anymore?" Lin Hang asked hurriedly.

"Go for it. Acting is just a side job. I still prefer working with machinery," Xu Ye said very seriously.

This completely stumped Lin Hang.

However, Xu Ye was still quite happy that he could continue working at the factory.

He only has Xu Ye as a friend. If Xu Ye becomes an actor, he will have no friends left at the boiler manufacturing plant.

If you get bullied or wronged, you won't know who to talk to.

The two exercised for a while, and then left the park.

Xu Ye didn't see the unfamiliar faces that appeared in the alley, so it seemed they really weren't there for him.

The two went straight to the factory, had breakfast in the canteen, and then went to their respective posts to work.

After Xu Ye arrived at his post, Li Huaizhong gave him some new blueprints.

"Xu Ye, please make sure these parts are manufactured."

"These parts are crucial to the success or failure of the new boiler."

Xu Ye carefully examined the blueprints and then said, "Director, I will do my best."

Li Huaizhong patted Xu Ye on the shoulder and said, "I believe you won't let me down. I have confidence in your skills."

Xu Ye carefully studied the blueprints in his hand. These parts were indeed more precise and complex than those he usually processed. However, for him now, this was not a problem at all.

"Director, when do we need these parts?" Xu Ye asked.

Li Huaizhong sighed: "At the latest, the day after tomorrow. This batch of parts is a key component for the new boiler; the factory is waiting for testing."

Xu Ye nodded: "Then I'll work overtime today and try to finish everything by tomorrow morning."

Li Huaizhong's eyes lit up: "Good lad! I knew I'd come to the right person!" After saying that, he patted Xu Ye on the shoulder and hurriedly left the workshop.

Xu Ye picked up the first blueprint and began adjusting the lathe.

After adjusting, Xu Ye threw herself into her work.

This part is indeed not very difficult to make; even with Xu Ye's hidden skills, he could have made it.

He examined the parts and concluded they were likely scaled-down versions of the boiler, as they were very small.

He was very curious about the overall design of the boiler.

Before they knew it, the morning had passed. When it was lunchtime, Xu Ye went to find Lin Hang to have lunch together.

After lunch, the two of them smoked for a while, and then went back to their posts to continue working.

After get off work, Xu Ye didn't go home but instead prepared to work overtime.

Lin Hang also planned to accompany Xu Ye, so they went to the cafeteria for dinner.

The cafeteria now offers three meals a day, and you can eat there as long as you have a ticket.

After they finished eating, Xu Ye took Lin Hang to their posts.

If Lin Hang wants to improve his skills, he needs to stay by Xu Ye's side.

Now is also a good opportunity to learn.
