558 The Plan Was Stupid
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
However, Jiang Yunmo had recently become popular. He had made a small splash in the previous online period drama and had made a name for himself. Mei Tian
was also praised as the obedient girl in the idol drama. With the two of them working together, the big bang of “Amazing Concubine’s Daughter” was still in sight.
Therefore, no one was stingy about giving more opportunities to the two of them. This way, everyone could get more valuable shots together.
As a result, many people sat at Jiang Yunmo and Mei Tian’s table and ate with them. Naturally, they started chatting with each other.
Meng Ling was unwilling to go over and sat by herself. However, even if she wanted to go over, the seats there were already full, so she could not add another seat.
Meng Ling already had a premonition that the scene would be like this: “Meng Ling eating alone”.
The fans would feel that she was a bad person and offended everyone else. She deserved to be ostracized and isolated.
Only one young lady came over with a lunch box and sat down beside her.
“Sister Meng Ling, I’ll eat with you.”
The young lady’s name was Liang Yu, and she was also a supporting character. She had acted in quite a number of vicious female supporting roles, and she was
currently not famous at all.
She could especially understand Meng Ling’s situation, so she would rather sit with her.
Mei Tian looked up. “Meng Ling, do you want to come over to my side?”
Mei Tian had a docile face and looked very approachable.
However, the moment she opened her mouth, before Meng Ling could say anything, her manager leaned over. “Mei Tian, eat your food. Don’t do those useless
things.”
Mei Tian helplessly said, “But we can’t just watch her sit there alone.”
“Don’t worry about it. This is the company’s arrangement. It’s not something we can decide.”
Mei Tian could only smile at Meng Ling and stop talking.
Jiang Yunmo raised his head and looked around before lowering his head to continue eating.
After Meng Ling and Liang Yu finished eating, they packed their lunch boxes and pa.s.sed them to the staff.
Jiang Yunmo happened to be packing his lunch box. When he saw Meng Ling, the corners of his lips twitched. “Sorry.”
Meng Ling smiled casually. She knew that this arrangement was not his idea or Mei Tian’s idea. No one knew who planned this behind the scenes.
Liang Yu said to Meng Ling, “These two people are pretty good, but the plan is stupid. What era is it now, and they still use such a method to promote it.”
“Who knows what happened in the company?”
Meng Ling did not take it to heart.
Next was the recording of the team shooting compet.i.tion.
Meng Ling did her job as usual. After she finished filming, she returned to the hotel and received a call from her father.
“Dad, I think it’s better if you don’t let her come. Even if she comes, there probably won’t be many scenes.” Meng Ling sounded a little down.
“Why? Baby girl, who bullied you?”
“Not really.” In order not to worry her father, Meng Ling changed the topic. “I just feel that this recording is quite tough. There’s no need.”
“It’s good that no one bullied you. It’s still necessary. I owe s.h.i.+ Jin such a big favor. I have to return it to her no matter what. Don’t you have a lot of celebrities
partic.i.p.ating in the filming of your show? Although she might not have had many scenes in the past, it would definitely be beneficial to her if she went to show her
face, right?”
“That’s true. Wait, who did you say?”
“I said you have a lot of celebrities.”
“No, Dad. Who is coming?”
“s.h.i.+ Jin, I said s.h.i.+ Jin.”
“s.h.i.+ Jin? Which s.h.i.+ Jin? Did you remember her name wrongly?” Meng Ling had been busy with work recently and did not go home. She had no idea that Doctor
Meng knew s.h.i.+ Jin.
There was a huge gap between her and s.h.i.+ Jin in the industry. She had never paid attention to the celebrities who were too famous.
“That s.h.i.+ Jin, the singer.”
“The one from ‘Ultimate Singer Songwriter’?”
“I think so. She’s the one I searched online.”
Meng Ling smiled. “Dad, are you serious?”
“When did your dad ever joke with you? I’ll send you her WeChat. You can pick her up later.”
“Got it.”
Meng Ling put down her phone and shook her head secretly. She did not believe this at all.
Her manager happened to be at the side. When she heard s.h.i.+ Jin’s name, she asked, “Why were you talking about s.h.i.+ Jin?”
“My dad said that the artiste he recommended is s.h.i.+ Jin.”
“Really?” The manager’s eyes lit up and she laughed dryly. “That’s so funny!”
Meng Ling also felt that her father’s joke was not funny at all.
Did he know what status s.h.i.+ Jin had now?
Not to mention that s.h.i.+ Jin did not have much interest in these business activities, her schedule was something that even the top female celebrities in the industry
could not dare be envious of. Basically, s.h.i.+ Jin would not attend any of the ineffective social activities.
The places that she was willing to attend were always stunningly beautiful and had the highest value.
How could such a s.h.i.+ Jin appear on a show like ‘Exercise King”?
The manager said, “I’ve already spoken to the production team. You will bring a subst.i.tute friend over. If there’s a chance, she will go on stage. If there’s no chance,
she can only wait by the side.”
“Thank you.” Meng Ling thanked her sincerely.
The company was very harsh on artists who weren’t famous, but their managers were already trying their best to mediate their relations.h.i.+p.

Imperial Capital University’s medical laboratory.
After a busy day, s.h.i.+ Jin and Gu Jingyuan walked out of the laboratory together.
The others also followed them, chatting and laughing.
Liang Jing held the data report in his hand and said, “After s.h.i.+ Jin came over, our progress sped up a lot. These Chinese medicine data are indeed not what we’re
good at.”
“You guys are pretty good too. My understanding of modern medicine is limited.”
“s.h.i.+ Jin, you’re too humble. If it weren’t for you, it would have taken us at least two more months to reach this conclusion. By then, we would definitely be slightly
behind others,” Liang Jing said sincerely.
Gu Jingyuan said, “With s.h.i.+ Jin’s data, you guys will have to continue experimenting on your own. s.h.i.+ Jin won’t be here every day for this period of time.”
Liang Jing was slightly disappointed, but eventually smiled. “s.h.i.+ Jin has other work to do. I understand.”
Gla.s.ses Boy also looked disappointed.
Wei Zai looked up at s.h.i.+ Jin, then lowered his head again, his eyes flickering.
“I’ll send you off,” Gu Jingyuan said to s.h.i.+ Jin as he took in everyone’s expressions.
“Fu Xiuyuan is here to pick me up.”
Gu Jingyuan laughed. “Then I’ll walk with you to the school gate.”

On the way.
Fu Xiuyuan sat in the car and looked down at the report in his hand as Song Fan drove.
Song Fan kept looking at the rearview mirror, observing Fu Xiuyuan’s expression..
