Retired for A Hundred Years: Re-Employment for the Apocalypse Bigshot! Chapter 92: Paying Respects to Your Idol

"Knock knock knock..."

"Sister Ning, are you asleep?"

Fu Yuanxuan was shocked, but he didn’t have ti to think more, his body quickly slipped out the window.

"Sister Ning, the egg tarts are ready." Ye Tong carried a tray of egg tarts, turned the doorknob, and walked in. "This ti I added raisins..."

Outside the window, Fu Yuanxuan heard the sounds from inside the house, and his stomach growled twice involuntarily. Feeling the bitter autumn wind outside, he nimbly leaped onto the 15th-floor window ledge.

The coldness inside contrasted naturally with the bustle on the next floor. Fu Yuanxuan looked up at Ji Ning’s window, pursed his lips, and dialed a special number.

When it connected, he instead turned his question to, "How’s your health recently?"

"Very good. When are you coming back?"

"After the mission ends, I suppose."

"I heard you went to Anhe to find that Bai Family girl. Since you’re there, try to cultivate so feelings."

Fu Yuanxuan felt like hanging up, but the words from the other person made his hand stop.

"Find so ti to go to Jiuming Mountain."

Fu Yuanxuan’s eyes flashed slightly, and he replied, "I’ll take my friends along."

The other side was silent for a while, then spoke with a hint of mockery, "That’s fine. The scenery there is nice. You young people should go out more, communicate more..."

Fu Yuanxuan didn’t pay much attention and directly hung up the call.

The person on the other end didn’t get angry, but instead humd a tune in a good mood.

Soone nearby curiously asked, "Why so happy today?"

"Haha, the iron tree at ho seems to be blooming."

***

Ten minutes later.

Ji Ning suddenly received a friend request.

It read three words: Fu Yuanxuan.

Ji Ning clicked accept, and the chat window imdiately showed two words:

[Fu: Chat?]

Ji Ning’s mouth curled up, and she also replied with two words.

[Ning: Not eting]

Fu Yuanxuan was drinking water, and seeing these two words, he almost spit it out.

Just as he was about to reply, another ssage ca from the other side.

[Ning: You don’t need to probe, if you want to know anything, have your family head contact .]

Fu Yuanxuan’s gaze instantly turned cold.

***

The next day.

Ye Tong dragged her heavy luggage back to the filming crew.

From now on, she couldn’t casually take leave because besides shooting in the studio, the crew would also go outside for location shoots. To coordinate the schedule, she needed to stay with the crew long-term.

This ti she ca back mainly to pack her luggage and deliver a ssage from Feng Zhong to Ji Ning.

When Ye Tong arrived at the hotel, one of the assistant directors ca to find her.

Seeing she was alone, he was sowhat displeased, "Don’t check-in yet, we need to go shoot outside. The bus will co soon."

"Huh?"

The assistant director was not in a good mood, "Didn’t we send you the shooting schedule? For the next half month, we’re going to Jiuming Mountain to shoot."

After leaving the remark, the assistant director hurried off while complaining softly, "Really, artists without a company do things at their own pace. The whole crew is waiting, but she’s still not here, does she really think she’s so big shot?"

Ye Tong knew she was displeased because Ji Ning didn’t co, but when they signed the contract, they had already explained the school situation to Director Feng. Saying this now was just bullying them for having no backing, being the smallest role, wasn’t it?

Ye Tong sat on the sofa in the hotel hall, waiting for the bus ntioned by the assistant director.

About half an hour later, the assistant director reappeared, at this point fawningly handing water to the lead actress Wang Yanyan.

Ye Tong imdiately stood up, dragging her luggage to follow, but was stopped by security personnel.

"I’m also an actress in the crew." Ye Tong hurriedly explained, showing them her luggage and the schedule on her phone screen.

But the security personnel coldly and suspiciously scrutinized her for a long ti, and the assistant director nearby even glanced at her but said nothing, directly ignoring her awkwardness as he boarded the bus.

In the end, it was another actor playing the male second lead who recognized her and brought her onto the bus.

Ye Tong looked at the assistant director sitting in the bus, leisurely playing on his phone, said nothing as she walked to the back.

Wang Yanyan had previously acted in a scene opposite Ye Tong, greeted her friendly, but then said no more.

Ye Tong found an empty seat on the back row and sat alone on a two-person seat.

In the crew, apart from a few extras, she wasn’t familiar with the other actors and they consciously excluded her from integrating. Apart from shooting scenes, they had almost zero interaction on set.

Ye Tong often ate alone, morized lines alone, sat in the rest area alone in a daze.

Sotis Feng Zhong couldn’t stand it and would deliberately call all the actors to chat, talk about their understanding of the roles, and close the gap between them, but still couldn’t change the situation.

Ye Tong also knew they were very upset about her replacing Lin Wei as the third female lead, thus guarded against her, so she wouldn’t try to ingratiate herself with them.

Ye Tong took out her phone and sent a ssage to Ji Ning, telling her she was going to Jiuming Mountain to film.

It took a long ti for Ji Ning to reply with an OK hand gesture.

Ye Tong imdiately replied:

[Tong: I’ll send you the location once I get there.]

[Ning: Okay, we’re going to Jiuming Mountain tomorrow.]

Ye Tong was surprised, swiped her phone, and called.

"Sister Ning, you’re not going to class?" Ye Tong asked impatiently when the call connected.

It was a bit noisy on Ji Ning’s side, seemingly on the playground, "Fu Yuanxuan got us leave."

Ye Tong was puzzled, "Why? What’s he doing?"

The other end suddenly fell silent, just when Ye Tong thought the phone had an issue, a voice a few tones lower ca through.

"To visit your idol’s grave."

Huh???

***

On the playground.

Bai Xiaotang leaned against the parallel bars, looking very conflicted, wanting to go but not wanting to go with Fu Yuanxuan.

But she also understood, without Fu Yuanxuan she definitely couldn’t enter the idol’s private cetery.

Jiuming Mountain, being the place where the idol sacrificed, had a large private cetery built there, only open to the public on special days for tomb visits.

At other tis, the cetery is closed and guarded by patrolling soldiers, preventing outsiders from approaching.

"Sister Ning, do you think we should go?" Bai Xiaotang turned to ask the visibly displeased Ji Ning.

"Go, might as well see what the cetery looks like."

"So should I tell him?" Bai Xiaotang felt that Ji Ning’s tone was off now but couldn’t see anything from her expression.

Ji Ning answered with a "Hmm."

Fu Yuanxuan was quite surprised to receive Bai Xiaotang’s ssage, he thought Ji Ning would not co and was thinking about how to provoke her to go, since she was coming, he could make arrangents.

If you want to see the head of the Fu Family, first you have to pass his test...

***

Subsequently.

Fu Yuanxuan sohow drove a modified SUV over, directly arriving at Anhe Middle School entrance to pick them up.

Anhe Middle School’s dismissal ti was 5:30 PM, and the entrance was filled with high school students in uniforms.

Most students chose to cycle or walk, suddenly a modified vehicle appeared, drawing many students’ attention.

Boys were envious, girls curious, many students deliberately lingered near the vehicle, trying to see who the owner was.

Until Ji Ning and her group walked out the school gate, the tightly closed car window opened, revealing a handso profile, although wearing sunglasses, the macho vibe shone.

Many girls started exchanging starry-eyed glances.

Fu Yuanxuan called out, "Bai Xiaotang."
