Chapter 249: Please Maintain a Low Profile, Thank You
[I don’t think that they would be able to have a breakthrough by looking at the map for just ten minutes.]
[Ten minutes? Would they be able to remember anything?]
[Half of their supplies in exchange for ten minutes to look at the map? Is it worth it at all? How are they going to memorize the map when they do not even have a pen or any paper with them?]
[The production team is really too much. They should at least give Sister Yuning a piece of paper and a pen right now!]
However, something amazing happened which proved that everyone was worried for no reason. As soon as Jiang Yuning got the other team’s map in her hand, she quickly ran to the bonfire and dug out two pieces of charcoal before she watered them down. After that, she took off her white coat before she placed it down on the sand.
[Oh my G.o.d. This is the bomb.]
[Sister Yuning is really the most amazing person ever!]
[If I was in her position, I would never have thought of using this method at all!]
The audience then watched as Jiang Yuning marked the landmark positions on the map down on her coat. They noticed that Brother Zhuang and Qi Mo were also in awe at this time because they would never have expected an operation such as this.
Twenty minutes pa.s.sed by quickly and after Brother Zhuang and Qi Mo had their fill of food and water, they continued moving forward with the map in their hands.
However, at this time, Jiang Yuning’s group did not start in a hurry. Instead, they took out their original map and compared it to the map given to Qi Mo’s group.
After comparing the two maps, Jiang Yuning realized that both the maps given by the production team might actually be real, but the production team had planned it in a way that both groups would have to take a big detour before they would arrive at the final location.
This time, there was once again a huge commotion amongst the audience.
[I could kneel down and wors.h.i.+p Jiang Yuning now. It’s not surprising that the production team are already balding!]
[After watching this show, I feel as though I am mentally r.e.t.a.r.ded sometimes!]
[Sister Yuning is really too smart! I am so envious…]
The other teams were also facing their share of obstacles and difficulties in the desert. This was especially true for Jin Mingchen’s group because he had already travelled in the wrong direction twice! The production team were about to have a heart attack because of him.
Just as the audience a.s.sumed that the most cla.s.sic scene would be what Jiang Yuning had just done using charcoal from the bonfire, everyone was once again shocked when Tong Tong fell and got trapped in the quicksand. Everyone felt that the production team must be really heartless and inhumane at this point. Jiang Yuning and Xu Beishen struggled for more than forty minutes as they tried to pull Tong Tong out of the quicksand. It was a really heart wrenching scene.
[They are comforting Tong Tong and asking him not to move unnecessarily, they had offered their hand and reached out to help Tong Tong as soon as he fell into the quicksand, and they have used up almost all of their physical strength by holding out for more than forty minutes just to save Tong Tong. I am about to break into tears now.]
[d.a.m.n this variety show! Give me back my tears.]
[I was busy watching the Ling Fei drama earlier today and after watching Jiang Yuning tonight, my heart is finally healed.]
[In fact, we can already determine Jiang Yuning’s true character and personality by observing many of the little things that she is doing. Although she was often involved in many bad scandals in the past, I think she has already proven that those were not her fault. I think she really deserves our love and respect for her.]
They were all young actresses trying to build up their portfolios, but the other artiste was in hot water right now whereas Jiang Yuning once again proved that she was a person with a good heart and integrity, and her charming personality and good character were in fact transferring positive energy and impact to the society.
I have also become Jiang Yuning’s fan after watching this episode.
Jiang Yuning’s currently had a total number of fans of two million.
At this time, Xue Li also contacted Vera to request that Jiang Yuning personally send a message to her fans.
After listening to Vera, Jiang Yuning decided to think carefully before she posted anything online. She did not want to be all over the hot search because of fan welfare.
“Why are you so cautious now? You were not like this before.” Vera could not help but laugh at Jiang Yuning. “When you did not have many fans in the past, you would always be wis.h.i.+ng for more fans. Now that you have so many fans, you do not dare to post anything online. This is so contradictory!”
“I really want to do something that will be useful to the Ginger Candies. What is the point of me replying them with a picture of myself all the time? How would that benefit them? They already have access to so many of my pictures as long as they search the internet,” Jiang Yuning replied immediately. “Just wait until I think of a good idea.”
“Alright then, just let me know when you have something in mind. You will have to attend the annual dinner hosted by Guangying Media in two days’ time. I will start preparing a dress for you.”
“Please maintain a low profile. Thank you,” Jiang Yuning replied immediately.
“No problem,” Vera replied as she made an okay gesture.
Jiang Yuning was smart because she did not want to be in the limelight during the annual dinner. This was because she knew that the other artistes in Guangying Media were not people that she should mess around with.
…
At six o’clock in the evening at Bai Tingzhang’s private villa.
Two days had already pa.s.sed since the incident involving Ling Fei, but at this time, the only way that Bai Tingzhang could get any news or information about Ling Fei was through the television. This was because the butler had already confiscated his laptop and cell phone, and Bai Tingzhang had no other ways to communicate with anyone else.
At this time, Bai Tingzhang looked extremely miserable as he was unshaven and ungroomed. He looked completely different from how he did just two days ago.
He was sitting in front of the television with his elbows on his knees, and there were endless despair and pain in his eyes.
“Butler, can you please just let me out of the house?”
“Young master, you have to listen to the master. Everything is a foregone conclusion. You do know what would happen if you choose to resist and disobey the master,” the butler replied as he sighed.
“Please just let me out so I can meet with Ling Fei once…just once…”
“Don’t even think about it.” At this time, Master Bai walked into the living room and stared at Bai Tingzhang with a cold expression on his face. “Just give up already. It is impossible for you to ever be together with her in this lifetime because you have already offended someone that you should never have offended.”
“Dad…who did I offend? I will beg him. I will beg him for his forgiveness. Please just let me go out already…”
“Beg him? Who do you think you are? You are not even worthy enough to s.h.i.+ne his shoes for him!” Master Bai replied as he continued glaring at his son. “Bai Tingzhang, did you know that you offended one of the Lu family members? Even as your father, I still have to lower my head and be respectful of them whenever I see one of the Lu family members. How dare you go and provoke them directly?”
“The Lu family?” Bai Tingzhang asked in surprise. “I…I have never offended any of the Lu family members. Dad, is the Lu family mistaken about something?”
“Think properly. Who have you offended recently?”
No one. No one else except for Jiang Yuning.
“I just wanted to teach Jiang Yuning a lesson on behalf of Ling Fei. Besides that, I really did not offend any of the Lu family members…Dad…”
“The Jiang family and the Lu family used to have really close relations with one another. Even though the Jiang family went bankrupt five years ago, the Jiang family has already risen again after rebuilding their empire. It would be absolutely normal for them to help and stick up for one another, just like how it was in the past. You dare tell me that you did not offend the Lu family? Do you know that there are many other prestigious and wealthy families in this whole world? Who do you think you are to teach Jiang Yuning a lesson?” Master Bai reprimanded Bai Tingzhang without giving him any face at all.
“In future, I don’t want you to meddle in Ling Fei’s business anymore unless you want Ling Fei to disappear completely from this world without a trace. Listen to your mother and go for the blind date that we have already arranged for you in a few days’ time. Bai Tingzhang, I am giving you one last chance to have your own freedom. If you refuse to obey my words and continue being obsessed with that woman, then I can a.s.sure you that you will definitely regret the consequences of your actions. The Lu family—especially Lu Jingzhi—are people that you cannot afford to offend in this lifetime. You know what you should do from now on. Butler, return his cell phone to him.”
