After Being Blackened All Over the Internet, I Ruled the Military Variety Chapter 742 - 732: Seeking Advice
Once again, team mber confessed shafully about being exposed by the surveillance target, Wei Ke: "..."
Couldn’t help but take a deep breath.
Before leaving Xiyuan yesterday, he did subtly hint that there would still be so routine surveillance over the next period, but the team mbers sent out had been diligently working without any slack.
And they were all quite capable, so being exposed so quickly was sothing he hadn’t expected.
"What are you doing now?"
"Miss Jiang seems to have an appointnt with soone today, inside a club. Although she let the club’s staff bring in, I didn’t have the nerve to follow inside, now I’m waiting in the rest area outside, and a waitress brought so food and drinks."
Another voice happened to co through the phone: "Call if you need anything."
Team mber: "Alright, alright, thanks."
"You are Miss Jiang’s friend, no need for formalities."
Followed by two dry laughs from the team mber.
Wei Ke: "...Just wait there."
"What about the food and drinks?"
"Rember to pay the bill, on your own expense!"

Jiang Lingxi walked into the eting room to see Dong Wei sitting at the table arranging flowers.
Her face looked almost the sa as what she had seen on screen before.
However, that TV show was fild by Dong Wei over a decade ago!
Ti never defeats a beauty, and the person in front of her was a direct reflection of that.
"Here you are, please have a seat." Dong Wei got up to welco her and at the sa ti picked up the arranged flowers in front of her, "Welco to my secret base!"
"The flowers look really nice." Arranging flowers has existed since ancient tis, although Jiang Lingxi never specifically learned this art, she has an eye for appreciation. The flower arrangent in front of her was elegant and magnificent, skillfully crafted, and very welcoming. She took it and placed it in front of herself, "Thanks for your thoughtful effort, Teacher Dong."
"I enjoy arranging flowers, and you all enjoy admiring them, which is a mutually joyful thing. No need to call Teacher Dong, just call Sister Wei." Dong Wei laughed heartily, then earnestly said, "I should be the one thanking you."
Tong Yue had just sat down with Jiang Lingxi and imdiately waved his hands upon hearing that, "Not at all, I truly believe Sister Wei is more suitable for the role of Empress Xiao, which is why I recomnded you."
Dong Wei poured two cups of floral tea and handed them over with both hands, "But for , this was a tily help. No matter how popular I was back then, after retiring for so many years, in our fast-evolving circle, who would rember you when you co back? If it weren’t for your recomndation that I successfully got the role of Empress Xiao, I was planning to sell this secret base I created myself."
Jiang Lingxi took a sip of the floral tea, "With Sister Wei’s acting skills, it’s just a matter of ti before you make a coback in the industry."
Laughter imdiately drawn a fine line at the corner of Dong Wei’s eyes.
Being praised for her good acting skills by a junior whose current drama was popular and gaining high attention was undoubtedly a high recognition, and also very pleasing.
Moreover, she indeed had great confidence in her acting skills.
"I’ve also been following the Empress Yuanzhao you played, truly impressive. Honestly, I’ve tried imrsing myself into your role at ho, and I’m not as good as you."
"Maybe it’s just that this role suits perfectly."
"Haha, whether the role happens to suit you or it’s your great acting, you’ve portrayed an irreplaceable Empress Yuanzhao. I think if there’s another Empress Yuanzhao or similar roles in the future, the female stars in the circle will probably have to weigh themselves carefully."
Weigh if they can compare their performance to the Empress in "Empress Yuanzhao".
I’m afraid many will be intimidated by such a comparison.
Tong Yue’s hand holding the tea cup couldn’t help but tremble, that praise was indeed quite high!
Luckily, their talent remained calm and composed, seemingly not letting the praise get to their head.
Jiang Lingxi, of course, remained very calm. What she said before was indeed the truth.
It’s just acting the main role, just well-suited, nothing to be too conceited about.
Looking at the young Jiang Lingxi, who was more than ten years younger than herself, Dong Wei thought to herself that at Jiang Lingxi’s age, to have achieved such great results, she wouldn’t have been able to remain so steady and calm.
Sighing inwardly: If this young lady can maintain this state and not be dazzled by the glitz of the entertainnt world, her future achievents will be limitless!
As for herself... well, there are no regrets, all were choices made by her.
Moreover, now it seems like a turn for the better, she would seize this opportunity to make good use of it.
Amidst mutual admiration, everything they talked about was naturally very warm and friendly, but Jiang Lingxi didn’t forget there was another important purpose for her visit this ti.
Now that she was face-to-face and it wasn’t al-ti yet, naturally, she seized the opportunity to seek advice on acting skills.
It was the first ti Dong Wei had ever encountered soone asking her so candidly about acting skills, a bit stunned but soon recovered and didn’t hold back, generously sharing everything she knew.
She didn’t worry that returning to this circle might lead to competition with Jiang Lingxi, after all, sotis the choice of actors by film productions involves far more complex considerations beyond just acting skills that aren’t within actors’ control.
Plus, simply judging by her and Jiang Lingxi’s age, competition opportunities shouldn’t be many.
Even if by any chance it happens, it would depend on their individual capabilities, and she wouldn’t regret her teaching today.
The teaching and learning made them feel like ti hadn’t passed at all.
If it weren’t for Tong Yue going around the club and coming back to see them still in session, he couldn’t help but remind them, they might have missed lunch altogether.
Of course, Jiang Lingxi also didn’t forget about the responsible young lady vigilantly watching outside. Understanding her intention, Dong Wei didn’t ask much and simply had staff send a al over.
Upon seeing the al delivered by the staff, the team mber couldn’t help but ask about the consumption level of the club: "..."
Even if the al appeared very delicious, there was still the feeling of not being able to eat it.
This food wouldn’t be reimbursed, it wasn’t just a al, but rather the savings painstakingly accumulated for retirent!
Jiang Lingxi didn’t have such concerns. Being treated to a al without spending money, she naturally enjoyed it to her heart’s content.
However, Dong Wei couldn’t help but be surprised at Jiang Lingxi’s portion size, but seeing Tong Yue’s expression of indifference, she rely considered it normal.
After finishing the al, they were in no hurry to leave. Taking advantage of being out, under the warm invitation of their host at the club, Jiang Lingxi and Tong Yue experienced the beauty treatnts there and toured the fitness area.
Seeing Jiang Lingxi curiously try out all the exercise equipnt and activities with undiminished energy and then swimming with ease, Dong Wei was enlightened, finally understanding the secret behind why this person wasn’t gaining weight despite eating so much.
This athletic talent and vitality, truly enviable!
Before leaving, the three exchanged contact information, and Dong Wei handed over two prepared mbership cards: "You’re welco to co by anyti." She paused, "I’m usually here when I have no other engagents."
Jiang Lingxi initially hesitated whether to accept it or not, as while the club was nice, Xiyuan wasn’t lacking anything either, and a one-ti experience was good enough. But upon hearing the latter statent, she imdiately nodded, "Definitely."
Such an amazing teacher, one day of learning isn’t enough!
