After Being Blackened All Over the Internet, I Ruled the Military Variety Chapter 349: Everyone Exclaims Goodness

When her right elbow and knee hit the hard stage floor, Xu Qingi was still in shock and didn’t react.

It wasn’t until the sharp pain reached her nerve endings that she confird she had missed her target and fallen on stage in front of everyone.

For a mont, Xu Qingi’s mind went completely blank.

She chose to go with this plan based on her understanding of Shen Yunqing over the past three days.

Upright, possibly to an extre degree, like an absolute gentleman, with great self-restraint; the usual tactics for n wouldn’t work nine tis out of ten with soone like him.

So she hadn’t even considered a fake fall this ti, opting to use electrical stimulation to create a genuine fall effect, confident that as long as soone saw another person about to fall, anyone would instinctively reach out to help, right!

As long as she had this one opportunity to make contact, she could leave a mark on Shen Yunqing’s hand or arm, allowing the subsequent steps to proceed smoothly.

But she never expected that not only would he not reach out to help, but he even stepped back without any hesitation!

Stepped back!!!

Was he treating her like a plague?

When Xu Qingi gritted her teeth and propped herself up to half-sit, her face was already flushed red, and her eyes were filled with disbelief and grievance as she looked at Shen Yunqing.

Even without saying a word, anyone who saw this gaze could understand its aning.

An actress’s gaze must be expressive!

Imdiately, a few reproachful glances were cast toward Shen Yunqing.

And the person being looked at remained calm and unmoved.

"Ms. Xu, are you okay? Where’s the dical team, co check her out quickly!"

Jing Huai was the first to rush forward and help Xu Qingi up, panic rising within him.

Xu Qingi had only instructed him to create intimate shots with Jiang Lingxi, even if it was just cara angles.

But she hadn’t told him how to proceed, and now her part of the plan had faced a setback.

So how could the plan continue?

Xu Qingi pretended not to notice Jing Huai’s panic and slowly stood up with his help, forcing a smile, "It’s nothing, just a scrape."

Xu Qingi’s assistant, who was a bit far away, arrived almost at the sa ti as the dical team, "Sister Xu, let’s treat it simply first and then go to the hospital, I suggest pausing the recording!"

Chen Weiwen neither nodded nor shook his head; he was still a bit confused. The stage wasn’t slippery, so how did Xu Qingi, usually so competent, suddenly fall?

"Let’s check her first. The dical team we’ve hired is composed of highly skilled professionals."

"I originally thought Mr. Shen was a very gentlemanly person," Xu Qingi’s assistant supported her arm, looking at Shen Yunqing with anger, "Don’t you think your actions were a bit too much?"

Shen Yunqing looked back without any expression, his tone calm as if he wasn’t affected by the situation at all, responding faintly, "Then you thought wrong."

The crowd: "..."

Goodness, upon hearing this response, everyone could only ntally exclaim, good grief!

The ’sorry, it was a reflex’ line they expected to hear seed utterly weak compared to what was actually said.

This Mr. Shen was truly brave, speaking his mind in front of so many people!

Xu Qingi’s assistant was also montarily speechless after this remark, unable to keep her expression from twisting further into a frown.

Fortunately, after a brief examination, the results showed that Xu Qingi’s elbow and knee were only grazed with so slight swelling, with no bone issues.

That ant there was no need for a hospital visit.

Thus, there was no need to pause the program recording.

A chair was brought over by staff for Xu Qingi to sit down, and Jing Huai released her arm. Before leaving, he hesitated but couldn’t help asking in a low voice, "What do we do next?"

Though her wounds were treated, they were still painful, and Xu Qingi was irritable, looking towards Shen Yunqing’s direction through gritted teeth, only to see that he ignored her entirely. Her fingers gripped the chair’s armrest tightly, nearly causing her manicured nails to snap.

With a stern face, she whispered harshly, "What’s the rush!"

Having paid such a significant price, she was more unwilling than anyone to end in failure!

Seeing this, Jing Huai dared not say more, "Alright, then I’ll wait for your instructions."

Jiang Lingxi and Shen Yunqing were separated by Shen Huchen and Qian Yaya, but this didn’t stop their eye contact.

’Xu Qingi pulled such a stunt again?’

’Most likely, yes.’

’I suspect there’s sothing going on between her and Jing Huai as well.’

’Soone deliberately took a sneaky shot from an angle.’

’I noticed that too, be careful on your end; Xu Qingi likely won’t let it go.’

’I’ll be careful.’

Jiang Lingxi had survived nurous assassinations in her past life, and Shen Yunqing, as the Pri Minister, was no less cautious.

Even the food and drinks always under their watchful eyes were handled with extre care, let alone allowing anyone close.

Let alone Xu Qingi’s connection to the mysterious organization with i Shuiqing; who knows what unknown tactics she might have behind the scenes.

He would rather be seen as ungentlemanly; his safety was the top priority.

The audience was divided in their views on Shen Yunqing’s earlier actions.

So thought it was overly cautious and un-gentlemanly.

Others were skeptical about Xu Qingi’s sudden fall. Although it didn’t seem like a fake fall, as they had indeed heard the sound clearly, how co she walked steadily in front of others but stumbled right in front of Mr. Shen?

Had she fallen towards anyone else on the stage, they wouldn’t have been suspicious.

As the program resud, everyone had their opinions and discussed them animatedly.

Qian Yiheng naturally didn’t get involved in the discussion, but she agreed with the second perspective more.

Whether due to preconceived notions or her belief in Mr. Shen’s character, she didn’t have a great impression of Xu Qingi, who didn’t understand painting yet boldly ca to be a judge.

If she had truly fallen just to fra Mr. Shen, all she could say was: ruthless and daring!

Xu Qingi reluctantly cald her emotions and, facing the audience again, was an image of soone silently enduring pain.

She knew how to play to her strengths.

Imdiately, many sympathetic glances were directed toward her.

However, once Zhang Nachuan started critiquing everyone’s artworks, few continued paying her attention.

"I regret not being able to add yesterday’s ’Bibo Wanxiang’ to my collection. I wonder if Miss Jiang would part with today’s ’Mountain and River Map’?"

Hearing Zhang’s words, the audience was left dumbfounded.

"’Bibo Wanxiang’, is it the ’Bibo Wanxiang’ I know?"

"What else could it be than that ’Bibo Wanxiang’? Besides the Divine Painter Xie Muyun, who else would dare na their work ’Bibo Wanxiang’?"

"Does Zhang’s remark an what I think it does, that he wants to add Jiang Lingxi’s work to his private museum?"

"I just want to know what level of work in the art world rits being added to Zhang’s private museum!"

"Well, that’s hard to say, but if given the chance to visit Zhang’s private museum, one would know."

"Obviously, isn’t Zhang’s museum known for being the hardest to gain entry to?"

...

Jiang Lingxi locked eyes with Zhang Nachuan, "I’m honored by Mr. Zhang’s appreciation."

Admittedly, it was just a piece she completed in two hours, not even from her favorite animal series.

Since he intended to express goodwill, she would accept it.

After all, she wouldn’t lose out.

Watching Zhang holding the work with joy brought another wave of emotion amongst the crowd.

"Jiang Lingxi has achieved what I dread of; I dream of having my work valued by Mr. Zhang."

"Then you should keep dreaming; in dreams, anything is possible."

Jing Huai diverted his eyes from the ’Mountain and River Map’ and couldn’t help but glance at Xu Qingi.

Initially, he rely sought to use Jiang Lingxi, but now seeing her warmly received by Li Wanxuan and praised by Zhang Nachuan, he seriously considered aligning himself with Jiang Lingxi.

However, given Jiang Lingxi’s consistent aloofness and bluntness toward him, he was forced to hope Xu Qingi’s subsequent plans would pan out.

Though, inexplicably, a feeling of foreboding lood.

It didn’t take long for this premonition to beco real.

Before Xu Qingi gave her next instructions, he received a precise blow from that Mr. Zhang!
