Retired for A Hundred Years: Re-Employment for the Apocalypse Bigshot!-Chapter 338 - 333: If Your Mouth Stinks, Clean It Properly

Chapter 338: Chapter 333: If Your Mouth Stinks, Clean It Properly

Ye Tong now has some fame, shedding her status as a complete newbie, but she’s still far from being a big star.

Additionally, the film company she signed with was registered by Ji Ning with Feng Lei’s help. It’s just starting out in the industry, without any reputation or resources. Ye Tong is the only signed artist, basically just a side project. As a result, Ye Tong’s nominal agent is still Ji Ning, and her artist assistant is Bai Xiaotang. Her only current job is the drama "War God."

Fortunately, the company only has two official employees: the boss Ji Ning and the employee Ye Tong. Neither of them takes a salary.

So on set, Ye Tong is still alone like before, without an assistant or makeup artist, relying entirely on herself.

Because of this, Feng Lei discreetly sent people with high salaries to poach Ye Tong and secretly had other company artists look after her.

Ye Tong turned her head, feeling a bit tense inside, but still smiling as she replied, "What big star? Sister Qing, you’re overpraising me. I’m just a small actress."

Ye Tong’s identity as an extra in the Ai Ning Team isn’t a secret. Members in the group even specifically watched related films and TV series because of her acting, offering her kindness and encouragement.

This time, Ye Tong took the initiative to help organize group activities, further winning favor from the longtime fans.

When everyone first saw her, they jokingly asked for autographs and photos, preparing to show off once Ye Tong became famous.

Now seeing someone suddenly make snide remarks, the longstanding group members weren’t fooled. Though they remained silent, they led the newcomers away, clearly trying to clear the scene.

Lin Qing looked at the increasingly well-mannered Ye Tong in front of her, so angered she could almost grind her teeth to dust.

She’s not doing well now, especially after Li Tao discovered she’d been spreading rumors about Ye Tong and even made her niece trouble Ye Tong on the set, cutting off all contact with her and refusing to introduce any good resources from the set.

This led to her relationships at the film city deteriorating and her income greatly shrinking.

Her niece has also distanced herself from her, even warning her brother and sister-in-law not to let her come around, leaving her so furious she couldn’t eat for three days.

If it weren’t for the resentment holding her up, she wouldn’t be able to stay at the film base.

Thinking her situation was all caused by Ye Tong, Lin Qing wanted to slash Ye Tong’s face with a knife, but she couldn’t touch her now and even had to befriend her.

Lin Qing touched the warm check in her pocket, forcefully suppressing her hatred and forcing out a smile uglier than crying, "Oh dear, Xiao Tong, why say such silly things? With your conditions, becoming a big star is just around the corner. Who in our extra circle doesn’t praise you? You’re our idol now. Come on, let sister treat you to a cup of coffee."

She tried to take Ye Tong’s arm as she spoke.

Ye Tong instinctively took two steps back. Seeing this, Lin Qing felt even more upset, her smile stiffening, but she forced herself to endure, making her expression quite rigid. "Xiao Tong, sister knows there have been some misunderstandings between us, but it wasn’t... Sigh, I didn’t mean to, sister just speaks her mind, a bit petty. You’ve vented your anger, so let it go, huh? Let’s move past this, I’ll treat you to coffee..."

Lin Qing, undoubtedly experienced in the extras circle, showed some acting skills. Besides the initial awkwardness, the rest flowed more smoothly, her expressions and eyes were right on point, portraying an apologetic woman vividly, almost convincing Ye Tong.

It was Ji Ning suddenly taking a half step forward, blocking Lin Qing’s reaching hand, and with a half-smile, she said, "No need for coffee, my artist is avoiding such things now. If you want to apologize, do it publicly so we can witness, and we can consider this matter closed."

Lin Qing’s face stiffened, her suppressed anger rising rapidly.

Apologize to Ye Tong? Dream on!

Apologizing in person won’t do, and now she wants her to apologize publicly?

Lin Qing struggled to maintain her smile, now looking somewhat distorted. Suppressing her anger, she said, "Just an apology lacks sincerity, doesn’t it? Xiao Tong..."

"If you don’t want to apologize, then stop pretending," Ji Ning cut her off unceremoniously. Lin Qing’s anger finally erupted, glaring at Ji Ning, she shouted, "Who do you think you are? Nobody can make Lin Qing apologize!"

Then, she looked at Ye Tong with a sullen face, cursing angrily, "I’ll tell you, Ye Tong, someone wants to see you. You’d better obediently follow me to the cafe, or don’t expect to stay in this circle."

"Tsk, that doglike face of yours is truly ugly..." Lin Yuanyang suddenly added, provoking Lin Qing to curse louder, spewing the most unpleasant words, drawing the attention of those nearby.

Ye Tong wasn’t angry, just felt embarrassed. She pulled out a breath freshener from her bag and sprayed it fiercely into Lin Qing’s mouth, saying as she did, "If your mouth stinks, wash it properly."

To everyone’s astonishment, Ye Tong twisted Lin Qing’s arm and pinned her to the ground.

Her movements were as swift as could be.

Bai Xiaotang quietly unclenched her fists, walked a few steps forward to shield Ye Tong’s actions.

The veterans of the Ai Ning Team also turned their backs, but their bodies acted as a barrier.

This time, unlike before when she was restrained, Lin Qing watched helplessly as she was disciplined by Ye Tong.

She had no idea what Ye Tong pressed to cause her such pain without being able to make a sound, forcing her to endure several hits, leaving her drenched in cold sweat, filled with despair.

After venting her anger, Ye Tong finally released Lin Qing, saying coldly, "If you dare plot against me again, I’ll make sure you stay bedridden for life and never get up!"

Lin Qing whimpered in pain, not daring to curse anymore, keeping her anger buried deep within.

Seeing it was about enough, Ji Ning crouched in front of Lin Qing, lifting her chin with her finger, calmly asking, "Who sent you to find Ye Tong?"

Lin Qing didn’t want to answer, but Ji Ning’s next words instantly changed her expression, "If you don’t tell me, I’ll have to reveal the address of Ningxiang Road 374."

"You..."

Lin Qing’s face turned pale, staring decisively at Ji Ning’s beautiful face, feeling chills all over.

How did she know?

What did she want to do?

"If you tell me now, I might give you time to leave, but if you don’t..."

"I’ll tell you, I’ll tell you. I didn’t see the person’s face, but the accent sounded peculiar, like someone who lived in Outer Continent long-term, and her demeanor was especially refined, generous too, giving me a one-million-dollar check on the spot."

"Who else was with her?"

"She was accompanied by two bodyguards and a female assistant, likely from the entertainment industry, higher in rank than Ye Tong. The bag she carried was a high-end limited edition, worth at least a million..."

Lin Qing racked her brain to recall the details, trying to describe the person more clearly.

Ji Ning looked at Ye Tong and saw her utterly bewildered face, clearly not recognizing this person.

She turned back to Lin Qing on the ground, saying calmly, "You should be able to find out who she is, right?"
