After Being Blackened All Over the Internet, I Ruled the Military Variety Chapter 768 - 758: Still a Student, Problem with the Aromath

Su Linlin had no idea how she managed to shut the door and isolate Jiang Lingxi while holding the unopened scented candle.

It wasn’t until her assistant called her several tis that she snapped out of it and saw the pile of belongings yet to be packed. "Why are you packing so slowly!"

Assistant: "..."

The assistant felt wronged.

She didn’t even consider how ssy the place had beco over the past month. Even a professional organizer would need at least one or two hours to tidy up!

"Hurry up!"

Just thinking about Jiang Lingxi being next door made her heart tremble.

"Sister Linlin, should this scented candle be packed away too?"

"No, don’t pack it," Su Linlin shoved the box into the assistant’s hands. "Pour the liquid down the toilet, and throw the bottle in the trash."

Assistant: "..."

Could it be that her artist’s brain got fried after a month of closed-off training?

However, she only dared to mutter this quietly to herself and obediently followed orders.

After all, her artist was holding the unopened scented candle like a hot potato.

Jiang Lingxi could guess that Su Linlin must have been panicking at this mont, but she must face the consequences of her actions in the end.

Returning to her own room, she shut the door and skillfully dialed a video call.

As for showering, she planned to take a nap first and bring her luggage ho to bathe and perhaps enjoy a comforting soak in a hot bath, sothing that the dorms didn’t provide.

It was the first ti in a month that Shen Yunqing had received a video call from Jiang Lingxi during the day. Seeing the spirited face on the screen, he imdiately felt at ease.

"Is the training over with results?"

"That’s right, I got the role."

"Congratulations."

"Not bad, it was pretty easy, mainly because the opponent was too weak."

Just then, a spitting noise ca through the mic, "Pfft!"

Jiang Lingxi’s tone instantly turned serious: "Is there soone with you?"

"Ahem ahem," Shen Qingzhou coughed while pounding his chest and moved half his face in front of the cara. "Sister-in-law, it’s . No worries, I’m not an outsider."

Jiang Lingxi smiled at him, and Shen Qingzhou imdiately shrank back, sitting properly away from the cara.

"I’ll rest for a bit, then pack my things to head back. I’ve got a few days off to relax."

"Mm, I’ll head ho early today too."

"See you at ho."

When Jiang Lingxi woke up from her nap, she noticed that it had beco completely quiet next door.

She spent over ten minutes tidying up the not-too-nurous belongings in her room before dragging her suitcase and heading downstairs.

She happened to bump into Xiao Yu playing basketball in the indoor court.

"Aren’t you going back?"

Xiao Yu dribbled the ball to Jiang Lingxi, nodded while holding the basketball. "No, I’m not going back. I plan to stay with Coach Qi for a few more days. It’s quieter here than in the school dorm."

"School dorm?"

"Yeah, I haven’t graduated yet; I’m in my third year."

Xiao Yu felt a bit bitter inside while introducing himself.

Although he wasn’t very famous, he at least had so recognition, but the person in front of him genuinely only knew his na and hadn’t even thought of looking him up on their phone.

Jiang Lingxi: "...Good luck!"

"I will."

Waving, Jiang Lingxi walked off with her suitcase, and Xiao Yu stood there watching her silhouette disappear from view before turning to throw the basketball at the hoop.

The distance was a bit far, and as expected, it missed!

She opened the car door and sat into the car she hadn’t been in for a month, taking almost a quarter of an hour to acclimate and regain the feel of driving a regular car.

On the road, as she watched the slow-moving traffic ahead and behind her, she had to continuously suppress her instinct to overtake.

It was Tong Yue’s call that finally distracted Jiang Lingxi.

"Xixi, have the results been announced?"

"How did you know?"

"Chen Keyun posted sothing that Zhengzheng ca across. I guessed."

"Yes, they’re out."

"And you..."

"I passed."

Tong Yue jumped in place holding her phone, trying to ease her excitent. "You didn’t even call to tell such great news; even a ssage would do."

"I’m driving back to Xiyuan; I planned to tell you once I got ho."

"Back to Xiyuan? Why? I was planning to have Zhengzheng and Yaoyao head over to you."

"No rush. Director Feng gave a few days off. I’ll go to the set once I get his notice."

"Director Feng is quite considerate. You really should rest after all the hardship this month. I won’t disturb your driving then. Rest well once you’re back, and I’ll visit you tomorrow, and we’ll catch up then."

"Okay."

Although Chen Keyun had accepted the fact that she lost to Jiang Lingxi, her manager couldn’t quite co to terms with it.

Considering Chen Keyun’s professional racer background and that the role was for a racer, it seed like a sure thing. Who could’ve expected it to be taken by soone who never learned racing!

"Are you sure there’s no foul play involved?"

Chen Keyun felt her head buzzing from the constant nagging. Holding her head, her voice cracked a bit: "There’s really no foul play. If I could get the training footage, I would’ve shown it to you already."

"Although I hate to admit it," Chen Keyun sighed heavily, eting her manager’s increasingly dark expression, "Jiang Lingxi is genuinely strong!"

The two locked eyes silently for nearly a minute before the manager wiped his face and slumped back on the sofa.

He also knew that the possibility of foul play was slim since Director Feng was so reputable that he wouldn’t hesitate to spend a fortune on private venues and coaching just to train and select actors before filming. Being manipulated by capital was highly unlikely.

But it was still hard to accept!

"So does this an you have absolutely no hope of participating in Feng’s new film? Such a great opportunity, practically tailor-made for you, so how did a Jiang Lingxi co out of nowhere!"

Chen Keyun bowed her head, speaking quietly after he finished lanting: "Not getting selected this ti is partly my responsibility. We were too arrogant, thinking Director Feng would only pick . And Qi Zhen said my racing skills have deteriorated. Ever since returning to the country, I’ve been too consud with acting and variety shows, leaving little ti for practice."

The manager was at a loss for words.

"Right, find soone who knows about scented products," Chen Keyun said, handing over a half-used bottle still wrapped tightly. "Have them check if there’s anything wrong with this scented candle."

"Sure, but where did you get this?"

"Su Linlin gave it to when we first t at the training base. Before leaving, Jiang Lingxi advised not to use it."

"What?" The manager was puzzled and took a mont to understand. "Jiang Lingxi warned you not to use sothing Su Linlin gave?"

Chen Keyun spoke with a complex tone: "She probably wanted to tell there’s sothing wrong with the scented candle, but after using it for a month, I didn’t notice anything unusual, and I didn’t feel unwell. But I feel Jiang Lingxi wouldn’t say sothing like that just to scare ."

"These things usually have a subtle effect over ti, and she only warned you after you’d used it for a whole month!"

"She wasn’t obliged to warn in the first place, and we were technically competitors this whole month. Have you ever seen anyone helping their competitor? I can only bla myself for not being cautious enough." Chen Keyun clicked her tongue. "If not for congratulating her after the final selection, I doubt she would’ve even bothered to warn ."

Manager: "...I better find a known Incense Maker!"
