Retired for A Hundred Years: Re-Employment for the Apocalypse Bigshot!-Chapter 106: I Want the Real Reason!

Feng Zhong was so scared that he hurriedly went to persuade Ji Ning.

He could see that Ji Ning was already angry, even wanting to teach this kid a lesson.

But this person was related to tomorrow’s filming progress, so he had to bite the bullet and step forward to persuade.

"Xiao Ning..."

Ji Ning released his foot, straightened up, looked down at Fu Yuanxuan, and said coldly: "Three strikes and you’re out. If there’s a next time, I’ll make you understand the meaning of regret."

After saying that, Ji Ning directly walked toward the set.

Fortunately, there weren’t many people around now, and besides these few, no one really saw Fu Yuanxuan get beaten.

At this moment, Feng Zhong didn’t even know what to say, squatting to help Fu Yuanxuan up while looking at the two women and one child preparing to follow Ji Ning.

He truly didn’t expect that this young man on the ground had such bad relationships; no one cared even after he got beaten. After all, they came in the same car.

"Xiao Tong, go call Lao Li."

The sneaking away Ye Tong froze, turned around awkwardly, pointed at Ji Ning in the distance, and made a pleading expression.

The meaning was obvious, Sister Ning hit him, and she didn’t dare to intervene.

In the end, it was Feng Zhong who laboriously pulled him up, half carrying him on his back, and placed him in the back seat of the jeep.

Almost exhausted himself.

"Xiao Fu, why did you have to provoke a woman? Especially a girl as powerful as Xiao Ning. Isn’t this asking for trouble?"

Fu Yuanxuan, who had already recovered a bit, gasped and asked, "You... you also know... she’s powerful?"

"Of course, don’t you know how amazing her fight scenes are? The camera can’t even capture much of it. Her skills can definitely rank in the top ten in Hua Continent."

Fu Yuanxuan thought about how Ji Ning just mentioned his family’s ancestors, and his gaze darkened.

Who exactly are you?

***

Inside the set.

Yan Jing angrily stopped Ye Tong, shoved her phone screen in front of her face, and shouted angrily, "Look at the trouble you’ve caused! Now the entire internet is boycotting ’Gone with the Wind’."

In front, Ji Ning’s face changed slightly, and she turned around directly, grabbing her wrist, and asked coldly, "What do you want to do?"

Yan Jing, pinched by Ji Ning, almost cried out in pain, "Let go of me... let go..."

Ji Ning pulled out the phone from her hand and took a glance at the contents inside.

She laughed coldly, "Who can you blame for poor acting skills?"

Yan Jing felt contempt in her heart but didn’t dare to show it in front of Ji Ning.

You’ll regret it soon enough!!!

Ye Tong sensed that something was wrong, but before she could see the content on the screen, the phone was taken by Ji Ning, and she anxiously looked at Ji Ning, "Sister Ning, what happened?"

"Just a small issue, Bai Xiaotang, take her to the base."

What?

Bai Xiaotang, though confused, obediently linked arms with Ye Tong and walked outside.

Yan Jing saw Ye Tong about to leave and hurried to stop, "Wait, you can’t go!"

Ji Ning grabbed her arm again, her gaze extremely cold, "Slander, defamation, insulting one’s reputation, you should know the consequences."

"What... what are you talking about? I don’t understand." Yan Jing felt guilty and didn’t dare to look into Ji Ning’s eyes.

"Don’t understand? How about I help you refresh your memory?"

Ji Ning grabbed Yan Jing’s arm and dragged her somewhere.

"Ah... What are you going to do? Help... someone help me..." Yan Jing cried out in fear, looking frantically at the nearby crew for help.

Someone familiar with her wanted to step forward but was scared back by a look from Ji Ning.

Yan Jing was desperately taken to the women’s restroom by Ji Ning and locked inside.

"What... what are you going to do?" Yan Jing cowered next to the sink, looking at Ji Ning’s expressionless face in terror.

She was truly scared now, questioning why she messed with Ye Tong and brought this witch’s attention.

"You’ll know soon enough."

Ji Ning’s pupils gradually became deep, and the terror in Yan Jing’s eyes instantly disappeared, her gaze became vacant and lifeless, and her curled-up body slowly stood straight, obediently standing next to the sink.

"Why did you mess with Ye Tong?"

"She got in Lin Wei’s way. Gu Yuan wanted to teach her a lesson."

Ji Ning searched her brain for a while before she remembered who this Gu Yuan she was referring to was.

Slightly frowned, "Gu Yuan doesn’t want to sign Ye Tong?"

"But she refused."

After listening, Ji Ning sneered, "I want the real reason!"

"According to internal news, Director Lin saw an amateur in Anhe for ’War God’ and wants her for the female lead, but this amateur resembles Ye Tong’s sister Ji Ning. This hindered Tiansheng’s plan to promote their ace artist Li Xiaoxiao for the lead role, so Tiansheng decided to suppress Ye Tong and then deal with this amateur."

"Allegedly? Tiansheng is ruining someone’s future based solely on speculation?"

"It’s quite normal, in the entertainment industry, resources are everything. Capital always prefers to eliminate any potential rivals rather than miss any. Ye Tong’s refusal to sign means she’s already considered an opponent by Tiansheng. Lin Wei is just a small pawn leading the charge."

Ji Ning’s gaze darkened again after hearing this, crossing her arms with her fingers tapping on her arm.

"Who owns Tiansheng?"

"Xingyu Group’s Qin Shu."

...

"Director Feng, you’re finally here. Advisor Ji took Assistant Director Yan into the restroom and has been in there for a while." The assistant pointed to the restroom surrounded by people, shouting anxiously.

Feng Zhong had just carried Fu Yuanxuan on his back, and before he could catch his breath, was called back by a phone call.

He ran back sweating, gasping for air.

"What’s the situation now?"

"I heard Assistant Director Yan shouting earlier, but now there’s no sound. Could it be that she’s already..."

Feng Zhong glared at him and scanned the surroundings, warning, "Keep this matter confidential, understood?"

Everyone quickly nodded and pretended to leave.

Feng Zhong looked toward the restroom door, furrowing his brows, and walked quickly over. Before he could knock, the tightly closed door suddenly opened from inside, startling him. Seeing it was Yan Jing, he couldn’t help but ask, "You... you’re alright?"

Yan Jing looked surprised, "Director Feng, why are you here?"

Feng Zhong glanced inside, "Are you both alright?"

Yan Jing had a slightly unpleasant look, glancing at the half-circle of crew members outside the restroom, and replied with annoyance, "Is no one working? What are you all looking at? Do you want your pay docked?"

Everyone immediately scattered like startled birds, but there were still some bold ones who didn’t fear losing money and asked, "Assistant... Assistant Director Yan, are you okay?"

"What could possibly be wrong? Advisor Ji and I just had a chat. Why is everyone so jumpy?"

Yan Jing couldn’t be bothered to look at the people outside the door anymore and shut the restroom door.

Outside, people looked at each other, unable to understand what was going on with these two women.

Inside—

Yan Jing, after turning around, her face changed gradually into Ji Ning’s face.

And the real Yan Jing was standing stupidly next to the sink, expressionless.

The superpower taught by Huang Ying was really useful.

Later, Ji Ning and Yan Jing left the restroom simultaneously, Yan Jing kept her head down, walked quickly, with a face that warned people to stay away, and the surrounding staff didn’t dare approach to inquire.

Ji Ning went straight to Feng Zhong, showing him the entertainment news on the phone.

Feng Zhong swallowed back the question he was about to ask, his face turned serious instantly, and he took out his phone to find Gu Yuan’s number.

But she had already blocked his contact.

Feng Zhong clenched his fists in anger, and immediately ordered his assistant behind him, "Contact the PR to suppress the negative news."

The assistant looked troubled, "Director Feng, there’s something I haven’t had a chance to report to you..."

"What?"

"Jia Ying wants to withdraw their investment..."
