Huayu Chunqiu, starting from being adopted by a fairy mother

Chapter 371 Genetic Identification (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

boom……

The assistant closed the car door, then realized something was wrong. This is my car. Old Wu led the way here. How did he know the car was here?
Society is so scary, I want to go back to school!
Just now, the word "little sister-in-law" completely bewildered my assistant, who prides himself on being as steady as a deer on the left, as if he had been given a mind-altering drug.

Once she got in the car, she realized what had happened. Looking at the two of them, she understood why they hadn't taken any action; it turned out they were secretly colluding.

The assistant was overthinking it; Liu Jing didn't retaliate simply because he was too busy.

"Xiaobai, drive the car out, don't stop, just drive anywhere."

"Old Wu, three minutes."

After giving his instructions, Liu Jing took out his phone, turned it off, and placed it under the windshield.

Old Wu and his assistant followed suit, turning off their phones and placing them at the front.

"Liu Jing, I don't want to be your enemy."

Old Wu is a man of action; his first words are always the core message.

If the first sentence isn't clear, three minutes will be a waste, and you might even be kicked off the bus in less than three minutes.

To make it clear from the first sentence, three minutes is a concept.

“I’ve wanted to talk to you privately for the past two weeks, but I’ve been unable to get away. Nothing is safer than talking face-to-face, whether it’s online, by phone, or by letter.” Old Wu took out a cigarette, then perhaps realizing it was inappropriate, put it back. “I was the one who did what you did with Liu Yifei. Xiao Rizi’s side wants to get you. I took their money, so of course I have to do things for them. They know about what’s going on in our country, but that’s all they know. The harm this has caused isn’t as great as they imagine.”

He was already planning this meeting even before "Under the City Wall" was released.

He dared not entrust this matter to anyone else, as he trusted no one, so he did it all himself.

The film crew was large and well-informed, and their security was very tight. Recently, after filming wrapped up, Liu Jing stayed in his hotel and wouldn't come out; he just couldn't find an opportunity.

Today, Liu Jing took Hu Ge and Bai Bing to the movies, and Lao Wu finally got his chance.

He followed Bai Bing's car all the way to the parking lot.

No matter how much fun the three of you have, you'll eventually have to come back and drive.

He waited in his car, not daring to even doze off. When he saw the two return, he quickly got out of the car to greet them.

"What do you want to say? An apology?" Liu Jing asked with a smile.

“I can’t afford to offend either of you. If I offend them, I’ll go bankrupt and be confined to the country, afraid to go abroad. If I offend you, I’ll go out of business, unable to stay in the country, and forced to go into exile overseas. I don’t want to offend either of you. I’d like to ask Young Master Jing for a solution that satisfies both sides.” Old Wu was very straightforward.

When Liu Jing beat up Xiao Wang, he was also on the set of "Assembly", so he knew very well. He also knew that Xiao Wang was recuperating in the hospital for a few days.

Old Wu was secretly pleased, enjoying watching the tigers fight from the sidelines.

I've been waiting and waiting, always hoping for Little Wang's revenge, but nothing's happened. Little Wang is such a coward, he's backed down. He used to get drunk and yell about messing with me, but now he doesn't dare do anything, it's all talk and no action.

From that incident onward, he spent a lot of money and resources to find out Liu Jing's background. The more he dug, the more alarmed he became. The Japanese devils really thought highly of me, making me deal with petty thugs.

But many things can't be explained to the people behind them. One problem is that they don't believe it, but the most important thing is that they are confident.

In the hearts of that group of people, China and the Chinese people remain the same as they were decades ago.

Old Wu knew that although what he was doing was very secretive, it couldn't escape the other side's notice in China.

"Old Wu, you're exaggerating. I'm not a petty person. You spread rumors about me, bribed some so-called experts, and smeared me, causing me significant emotional harm. But I'm magnanimous and won't retaliate. At most, I'll expose your mistresses, introduce your illegitimate children to everyone, hand over evidence of your illegal activities to the relevant departments, smear the films and TV dramas produced by Chengmei, and incidentally expose those experts' backgrounds. Bringing Chengmei to bankruptcy and forcing you overseas is too serious; I don't have that kind of power." Liu Jing shook his head.

The assistant glanced sideways; the boss wasn't joking, he really would do that, so it seemed the two weren't colluding.

Old Wu stared in disbelief. "I'm not spreading rumors, I'm just stating a fact. You're messing with me like this? Then when I get to my work, you'll destroy me."

Besides, judging from Liu Yifei's mother's behavior that day, it seems I'm actually granting your wish.

Logically speaking, I could be considered half a matchmaker.

"Ahem, Young Master Jing is known for his magnanimity." Old Wu coughed twice.

"There's no other way, getting angry is bad for your health, so I have to be magnanimous," Liu Jing sighed.

Old Wu's facial muscles were twitching as he quickly moved on to the next part. "They sent over another batch of materials, giving me a task: to expose that you and Liu Yifei are siblings. The evidence is your genetic test results with President Li..."

"Genetic testing?" Bai Bing exclaimed in surprise.

"What are you shouting about?" Liu Jing frowned and scolded.

He broke out in a cold sweat, but thanks to his strong mental fortitude and instinctive acting skills, he managed to appear calm and collected.

For a moment, I felt panicked and confused. The old lady who lived with my grandparents in Jiangcheng was someone that Sister Li had found by chance.

Apart from the family of four, everyone else believed it was true, including the old lady herself.

At this moment, Liu Jing thought a lot. Sister Li's adoption of him despite Lao An's opposition seemed to have a new answer.

Could it be that Sisi is not really his biological daughter?

"These things are easy to fake. Whether you want them from domestic hospitals or foreign testing institutions, they can be faked." Old Wu was speechless. This assistant was still young and hadn't seen much of the dark side of the world.

Liu Jing breathed a sigh of relief, but also felt secretly ashamed. The thought he had just had could have been written into a TV drama script.

“Our boss’s background is very clear, who would believe this?” Bai Bing realized that she had been a little emotional just now, and she was not as composed as her boss.

"The idea that heaven is round and earth is square still has people who believe it. No matter what you say, as long as you say it, people will believe it. Even if there's only a one percent chance, with such a huge population base, the number of believers is not small. Saying it once is one percent, saying it twice, three times, saying it frequently, saying it constantly? That's how you throw mud. How can something be created from nothing? By frequently popularizing this concept, it will come from nothing." Old Wu smiled, casually giving his assistant a pointer, thus building a good relationship.

"If you really try to smear me like this, President Li will definitely see you as an enemy. She..." The assistant stopped talking. The boss and Liu Yifei's occasional pettiness was probably learned from President Li.

“I want to work a few more years and earn more money for retirement, so I came to find Young Master Jing.” Old Wu looked at Liu Jing seriously and very sincerely. “Young Master Jing, I, Old Wu, won’t do this job. There are also Old Li and Old Wang. You know better than I do the nature of some people in China. As long as they are paid, they would sell their own mothers.”

The assistant sneered, "Isn't that the kind of person you are? You betrayed your own boss."

"What else did they ask you to do?" Liu Jing did not respond.

"They only assigned me this one task, but I know they have other methods. They didn't assign it to me, and I wouldn't dare to take it. They have people in China who are preparing to report 'Under the City Wall' in large numbers, to confuse right and wrong, to smear you, and preferably to get it taken down."

"How much will you be paid for this?" Liu Jing asked curiously. He wasn't surprised by the other party's smear campaign; it was just their usual tactic.

"Last time they gave me 20 million, and I spent 10 million, so I reported 30 million. This time they're giving me 20 million again, and I'm planning to report 40 million," Lao Wu admitted.

"You're making money really fast as a middleman, reaping huge profits with no investment," Liu Jing mocked.

“This incident has caused Jing Shao psychological trauma, so I’m going to give half of it to him as a token of my respect.”

"Half of the turnover should be enough to cover it up." Liu Jing nodded, glancing at his assistant. "No need to make it up to me. My assistant has been living in fear lately, she's shed a lot of tears. You need to find a way to go through the proper procedures and give the money to Yan Huai. It should be a normal process, with all four major accounting firms involved, so they won't find any fault with it."

Old Wu secretly groaned, "Damn it, I said we'd split the net profit 50/50, and you just casually said that you've taken half of the revenue."

“This is easy to handle. Chengmei has a lot of film and television dramas, and they need actors. Double or triple the pay, and no one will be able to find out. It will not only increase the income of your sister-in-law's company, but also raise the value of Yanhui artists.” Old Wu had thought it through before he came, but he didn’t expect Liu Jing to have such a big appetite.

However, he didn't lose out either, as his salary came from Orange Entertainment's money, while the fees from the Japanese company went into his personal pocket.

"Let's put off the genetic testing for a few days until the movie's popularity dies down," Liu Jing said after a moment's thought.

"I understand. I'll wait for Young Master Jing's instructions."

"What's with all this talk about 'Young Master Jing'? We're brothers, don't be so formal," Liu Jing said with a smile.

"Hehe..." Boss Wu gave a forced smile.

"Mr. Wu, let's put it this way for now. This place is rather secluded, so please get off here."

boom……

The car door opened and closed again. Mr. Wu looked bewildered. What had happened? Weren't they just brothers?

Mr. Wu looked around and realized that the place was indeed secluded, so secluded that no taxis came by.

"Boss, is he trying to get himself involved?" the assistant asked, puzzled. Boss Wu's survival instinct seemed a little too strong.

"Who cares? As long as we benefit, that's all that matters." Liu Jing didn't care and didn't mind getting involved. Zeng Jia's resignation was in the process of being processed, and she would be able to join Chengmei by the end of the year.

"How should we deal with this? We need to prepare in advance." Bai Bing was invigorated; she had work to do again.

“The genetic testing is a bit troublesome; they're just trying to annoy me. I don't need to pay attention to it, and there's no way to. The issue with the report will be resolved in a while.” Liu Jing adjusted his chair. “By the way, we can't waste that data; it was all hard work collecting it. You've been bothering Mani a lot lately; give her that data, and she'll definitely be happy. This way, we can reciprocate and feel more comfortable bothering her in the future.”

"Boss, Lao Wu just promised to give you a reward." Bai Bing was speechless for a long time. When Eagle King was dealing with Teacher Chen, he regarded Cheng Mei as his number one enemy. Giving the information to Huo Wenxi was equivalent to handing over a weapon.

"These are two different things. Old Wu contacted us privately just to protect himself. This guy isn't any good either. Let Eagle King handle him," Liu Jing explained.

"Alright, shall we go back to the hotel?" What else could Bai Bing say? The gifts she received were going into Yan Hui's account, which was essentially boosting her sales performance. Since her boss was so protective, she wouldn't say anything even if he did something terribly wrong.

Murder? She hands you the knife, then cleans up the mess. Arson? She pours oil on the fire, then gives you a raise.

She took the blame, even though she was guilty.

"Aren't you going back? Are you going to stand outside in the wind? You're leaving tomorrow, so I'll give you a proper send-off tonight."

"First of all, thank you, boss, for the billions in donations."

"You're welcome."

"Boss, is there something we forgot?"

"Oh, I forgot to fasten my seatbelt."

At this moment, Hu Ge stood in the parking lot, listening to the phone's shutdown notification, looking even more bewildered than Lao Wu.

That damn Liu Rijing! He texted me saying "Meet me in the parking lot," but where is he?

I'm such a fool, how could I have believed his nonsense again?
-
The assistant left, but filming for "Chinese Paladin 3" continued.

As Bai Bing predicted, "Under the City Wall" grossed over 100 million yuan in six days, with a predicted total box office of around 250 million yuan.

Making money is a certainty; with an investment of nearly 50 million, the publicity and marketing expenses are minimal.

These things have no impact on Liu Jing; whether he's criticized or praised, it doesn't affect his filming.

Preparations for "The Message" are complete, everything is ready, all that's missing is the director.

Today we filmed the scene where Longkui sacrifices herself for the sword for the second time. After filming this scene, Liu Shishi's role is finished.

Tomorrow, the crew will move to Yandu to film the Heavenly Palace scene, which will be shot at the Yandu Chunqiu Studio.

This sword-casting furnace is different from the last one; it is a full five meters deep. The interior is a steel structure, poured with refractory cement, and the surface is painted with dark red metallic paint.

Orange LED light strips are laid under the stove, and when it is turned on, it looks like flames.

The center is filled with red silk cloth, and a blower is used to blow air around it to create the appearance of rolling fire waves.

A smoke machine is placed on top to generate heat.

The stove is deep, but actually not that deep, about a meter deep, with a partition layer covered with a thick sponge pad.

When filming the scene where Liu Shishi sacrifices herself to the sword, she was suspended by wires and slowly lowered down.

"Don't jump! Neither of you are allowed to jump!" Jing Tian pushed Xue Jian and Long Kui away, keeping them away from the sword-forging pool.

The two women fell to the ground, their eyes brimming with tears. The onlookers were all astonished; the tears came so quickly.

"Don't get excited." Xuejian pushed Jingtian away and took Longkui's hand. "Listen to me, Longkui, you've waited a thousand years for your brother. You've suffered so much and endured so much pain. You've finally reunited."

Longkui shook her head, looking at Xuejian through teary eyes.

"As for me, I thought I had nothing left. But then I met you all..." Xuejian lowered her head sadly, and when she looked up, tears were streaming down her face.

She turned her gaze to Jing Tian, ​​tears streaming down her cheeks. "I've been very happy during this time. I'm already very content with you all by my side."

She sniffled, as if trying to stop her tears, and looked at Longkui pleadingly, "So please stop arguing with me and give him to me, okay?"

The production assistant quietly reminded the director, "Director, Yang Mi has made quite a few mistakes in her lines. Should we call 'cut'?"

"No need," Li Guoli shook his head. "Don't bother anyone, just convey the meaning."

"What do you mean?" The stagehand looked puzzled.

The director didn't yell "cut," and each camera remained at its post, continuing to move the camera and film.

"Tang Xuejian, listen to me." Jing Tian snapped, his expression stern. "You're my woman, you're mine. You're mine, your life is mine. You can't decide your own fate like this without my permission, do you hear me?"

Longkui's eyes changed instantly, showing three parts sadness, three parts disappointment, and four parts relief, "Sister Xuejian, brother loves you..."

As Longkui uttered the word "love," she choked up, pursing her lips. "You must be good to him. You two will definitely be happy."

Longkui stood up, but was stopped by Jingtian and Xuejian. "Sister, I only feel like I'm here when you're both here. I won't be happy if any of you are missing. You are not allowed to jump."

……

"Caiya, if you truly love me, then let me jump into the sword furnace." Xuejian held Jingtian's hand, her voice utterly earnest. "In my eyes, there is no such thing as the world, only you. As long as you are here, the world exists. If you are not here, what use is my existence?"

The production assistants couldn't bear to watch. "You three should just read your lines!" they said. They were changing the lines so badly, and the director was all smiles. He really spoiled them.

"I'd rather you didn't love me." Liu Jing was stunned for a moment, snapping out of his reverie. For a instant, he couldn't tell if the person in front of him was Tang Xuejian or Yang Mi.

Liu Shishi cried; at this moment, she too was out of character. Jingtian wasn't the older brother, but the senior brother. Xuejian wasn't Yang Mi, but Liu Yifei.

"Brother, do you remember when we were in the underwater city? We each saw the future. Do you know what I saw? Everything was already destined. Longkui has never been able to do anything for you, Senior Brother." Longkui's crying was heartbreaking.

Liu Jing had a headache. "Why are you calling yourself 'senior brother' now?" He had a line in the script, but he hadn't had a chance to interject. He, a renowned actor, couldn't even deliver his lines.

"Shh! Nobody's allowed to make a sound. It's okay if you shout the wrong thing, we'll add voice-over later." Li Guoli raised a finger to his lips, warning everyone.

The little lion didn't answer at all, lost in its own thoughts, "Back in Jiang Kingdom, Longkui couldn't help her senior brother forge a sword either, and now she still needs her senior brother to take care of her. This time, Longkui can finally help her senior brother, and Longkui is very happy..."

Liu Jing looked at the little lion and fell silent. Was the shock of this "scenery romance" really that great? You all already knew about me and Qianqian. Compared to before, it's just that it's become public; I'm no different to you.

Longkui suddenly stood up and rushed towards the sword furnace.

"younger sister……"

"Cut! Hahaha, good, cut..." Li Guoli laughed. This was the third take, and he was very satisfied with the result.

He got up from the chair, stumbled, and fell to the ground.

My legs are numb.

Li Guoli didn't seem to care and sat on the ground. "You did a good job just now. Long Kui, hurry up and touch up your makeup. Get ready to dive."

When Liu Shishi came out after touching up her makeup, she found her senior brother arguing with the director.

"What's wrong with them?" Liu Shishi asked curiously.

“The director wanted to use his own shooting plan, but your senior insisted on using his.” Yang Mi shrugged and added, “They each have their own opinions, and your senior is acting like a customer who’s bullying the shopkeeper.”

"Shishi, come here," Li Guoli shouted, deciding to let the female lead choose.

"Shishi, which of our shooting plans do you think is better?" Liu Jing asked before Li Guoli could introduce them. "I have a matching special effects plan that will definitely make the film look beautiful."

“I also have a matching special effects plan. This scene is definitely the most outstanding in the whole series.” Li Guoli said proudly.

Liu Jing snorted. "This is my woman. She's always been very obedient to me. She'll definitely choose my option."

"I have an idea too, why don't we take a picture and see?" the little lion hesitated.

"Try what? If we don't plan ahead, the special effects will be hard to do later, and it's hard to say whether it can even be achieved." Liu Jing was annoyed. The little lion's wings have hardened; it wants to be a flying lion.

"Okay, let's give it a try." Li Guoli made the decision on the spot.

Liu Jing grunted twice; after all, he wasn't the director, he only had the right to offer suggestions.

Old Li hesitated for a moment, but still said, "Ahem, well, Shishi, try to imagine yourself in a real-life situation later, maybe you can perform even better."

"What's the situation in reality?" Liu Jing's face darkened.

In reality, there was indeed a situation where neither of the two women contacted him after his assistant left, forcing him to sneak into his sister-in-law's room every night.

My sister-in-law is strange too; no matter how much she tries to train me, she just won't give me the last bit of goodwill she has.

“Shishi, you’re the main character in the scene later. Don’t hold back, just let your emotions run wild.” Li Guoli ignored Liu Jing. “Call me when you’re done, I hope you don’t make me fall asleep waiting.”

"Director, we'll start in five minutes," Liu Shishi replied directly.

"I'll give you ten minutes. Get on the wires in ten minutes."

"Hey! This old man is sarcastic towards me," Liu Jing muttered.

He initially thought the little lion would continue to act as if he didn't exist, but after the romance was exposed, both women were giving each other the cold shoulder.

Unexpectedly, as Liu Shishi was walking forward, she suddenly turned around and asked, "Senior brother, if Liu Yifei and I fell into the river at the same time, who would you save first?"
