Chapter 248: 093: Alian Raises the Spear Again (2nd Update)_2

Chen Jingyu’s spirits lifted.

“Jingyu,” Director Chen approached, “what did you want to see me for?”

“Director Chen, do you know,” Chen Jingyu’s serious face was unusually excited, “Backter Street has developed a plaster that is extremely effective for physical recovery. It’s called Dainei…”

He was cut off midway when he saw Bai Lian and Jiang He lazily coming out of the residential complex.

His excited voice abruptly stopped.

He lowered his voice to ensure Bai Lian couldn’t hear it, “It’s called the Solid Element Paste, but it’s available in limited quantities.”

The allure for martial artists was simply too great.

“I know,” Director Chen had been aware of it from the start and had even contacted Wang Youfeng’s side to seek cooperation. Little did he know, they ended up creating their own brand, “But Wang Youfeng is a tough nut to crack.”

The Chen Family really needed this cooperation.

He had been negotiating with the other party for a long time.

The other party had a slippery person by the name of Xiaoliu or Xiaoba. He hadn’t even met them in person.

“That’s why the family wants to send someone else to negotiate at the fighting arena.” Chen Jingyu spoke out.

The Solid Element Paste was mostly used at auction houses.

“Who?” Director Chen was taken aback, looking at Chen Jingyu.

“Yu Shen,” Chen Jingyu’s peripheral vision caught Bai Lian reaching her car, he swallowed the rest of his sentence, “I’ll talk to you tonight.”

Bai Lian was wearing headphones, listening to an English audio lesson.

As for what Director Chen and the others were talking about, she didn’t pay any attention at all.

She simply took Jiang He and got into the car.

Not until the car door closed.

Did Director Chen finally look at Chen Jingyu, “Miss Bai is also very impressive.”

“What style does she study? Long fist, sanda, or spear? Or perhaps Muay Thai?” Chen Jingyu was indeed surprised; he knew what Director Chen meant by impressive, “Which rank is she now?”

“Her? She’s probably unorthodox, but she is very strong,” Director Chen had the fortune to witness a video of Bai Lian’s.

Although lacking in technique, one could tell that Miss Bai’s strength was considerable.

“Unorthodox, huh,” Chen Jingyu withdrew his gaze, “I thought by your tone, you meant she could compare with Yu Shen.”

Director Chen was quite speechless, “How can you compare? Yu Hongyi started learning martial arts at three, took up the spear at nine, while Miss Bai is seriously studying.”

He knew Bai Lian was devoted to her studies.

Chen Jingyu wanted to say that even being admitted to Jiangjing University wasn’t guaranteed, so what was the difference between studying seriously and not.

But looking at Director Chen, he didn’t voice his thought.

Afternoon after school.

Milk tea shop.

Weng Qi and the others pretended to order milk teas while their eyes inadvertently drifted towards the kitchen.

Yang Lin didn’t bother with them, attending to other customers instead.

Chi Yundai took a box of cake out and, seeing Weng Qi and the others looking at him, he reluctantly took off his chef’s hat, “What?”

When he wasn’t in court, he wasn’t so unapproachable.

Still aloof, he wasn’t much for talking.

“Hehe,” Weng Qi scratched his head, very curious, and naturally asked his question, “Isn’t it said that those involved in legal revision can’t be defense lawyers?”

Chi Yundai handed the cake to Yang Lin and casually inquired, “Where did you hear that?”

“Online, and Baidu says so too,” Weng Qi said as if it were obvious.

Chi Yundai:

A look of incomprehension appeared on his face, “You guys search for this kind of stuff on the internet?”

Not only had they searched.

They had believed it too?

It might have been the way Chi Yundai looked at fools with such overt transparency that made Weng Qi and the other boys exchange glances then quietly take their milk tea back to where Bai Lian and Ning Xiao were.

“So we can’t search online?” Weng Qi asked Ning Xiao.

Ning Xiao gave him a glance and reminded him, “As everyone knows, all the answers on Qian Du are edited and answered by the public, including Qian Du Qian Ke.”

Weng Qi didn’t dare to retort Ning Xiao, the academic god.

He just looked at Bai Lian with an almost tearful expression, “Lian sister.”

Bai Lian casually put away her homework, looked up, and said, “Use your brain. Is everyone here?”

Zhang Shize’s dad often traveled for business.

And now, Zhang Shize was not at home.

So the people from class fifteen had discussed and agreed that they would take turns, a few each day, going to the Zhang family’s place to help Zhang’s mom move goods and flower pots.

Today it was Bai Lian’s and Weng Qi’s turn among others.

Once everyone was gathered, they all went to the Zhang family’s flower shop at the street corner.

Zhang’s mom had closed the flower shop for many days and was cleaning today, organizing wilted petals. There was also a delivery on its way, and by the time Bai Lian and the others arrived, Yan Lu had already started cleaning inside the shop.

“Alian, little Weng, how come all of you are here?” Zhang’s mom was bustling about with a smile, no different than usual, “I’ll get you guys some drinks!”

Outside the front gate of the Zhang family’s home.

Wang Xin was on the phone, suppressing her anger and forcing a smile, “Teacher Hu, just consider that we approached you first, and you also said Xiaolu had potential…”

“Enough, Wang Xin, let’s cut to the chase,” Teacher Hu said on the other end, “Man Xi also scheduled with me, you are aware, right?”

Teacher Hu was a martial arts instructor at Time Entertainment.

After “The Great Eternal Prosperity” announced open auditions, everyone in the industry, from top celebrities to minor stars, was clamoring for a role.

The “Great Yong” script had been finalized three years ago.

The lead role was still that of General Chen Ye from the Chen family; the Bai family and their entourage were all historically very influential figures.

Directed personally by three major directors, investment was said to be coming from Jiangjing.

Wang Xin wanted Yan Lu to audition for the role of the fifth female lead in the drama, which was a serious piece. Every female character was extraordinary, and the one Yan Lu wanted to audition for was a maid to the female lead, who since childhood had learned to use a spear and had been influenced accordingly.

This was extremely important for the audition.

Thus, she had arranged for a martial arts instructor well in advance.

But she didn’t expect to be stood up by Teacher Hu at the last minute.

Of course, Wang Xin wasn’t surprised; Man Xi was the top actress at Time Entertainment, and all the company’s resources were funneled towards her. Between Yan Lu and Man Xi, was there really a choice to be made?

Wang Xin exhaled deeply and entered the Zhang family’s backyard.

Inside the yard, several students were standing around drinking cola.

Wang Xin glanced at Bai Lian, whose school uniform was unbuttoned, holding a cola can loosely in her hand, standing sideways to her, her profile as meticulously crafted as a fine brush painting, causing Wang Xin to look several times over involuntarily.

She then went to Yan Lu and whispered to her about the situation with Teacher Hu.

“It doesn’t matter,” Yan Lu dismissed the concern, “I’ll give it a shot on my own, and, Wang Xin, please check other notices for me. I’ll take anything.”

“This Man Xi, could she be as popular as she is now without you?” Wang Xin was irate, “I can’t believe she doesn’t know you booked Teacher Hu first! Oh well, let’s try our luck. Maybe the director will see your aura and pick you for the fifth female lead.”

Bai Lian was multitasking with her mind.

She overheard the conversation between Wang Xin and Yan Lu.

She walked a few steps in their direction, with a casual posture, staring at Yan Lu for a while.

Then slowly crumpled the cola can, “You two… have you never considered the lead female role?”

“The lead female role?” Wang Xin was taken aback before bursting into laughter, “So many people are vying for it, the directors this time don’t lack funding; they only care about acting ability and suitability, even Man Xi would have a hard time being chosen.”

She sighed.

Something seemed to dawn on Yan Lu.

She raised her head to look at the sky and said softly, “…Who am I to play that role?”

Yan Lu was from Xiangcheng, and people from Xiangcheng had a very special sentiment towards the Bai Family. She had never even considered acting as the young mistress of the Bai Family.

“Who says you’re not suitable?” Bai Lian spoke casually.

Yan Lu looked surprised.

Bai Lian tossed the cola can into the trash can, her dark eyes narrowing slightly. She spoke at an even pace, unrestrained and wild, “Tomorrow afternoon at 5:30, bring the spear you’re most comfortable with and wait for me here.”

Having been in this world for so long, it was also time to pick up the spear again.
