Mr. Gu, stop chasing me! Miss Jiang has become a movie queen!
Chapter 53 The Secret in the Bag
Jiang Ning and Special Assistant Li returned to the nanny car, and there was finally some news on the phone. It was Li Yiming calling.
Jiang Ning answered the phone. Li Yiming sounded tired, as if he had just woken up.
"Hey, Jiang Ning, why did you call me so many times?"
Jiang Ning was immediately furious, but he still tried to suppress his anger and said, "You shouldn't say that. You're the director. Look at the time now."
Li Yiming glanced at the time on his mobile phone and took a deep breath.
"Why at this hour? Blame me, blame me. I'm so sorry. I made you go for nothing. Have the other members of the crew gone?"
Jiang Ning was right, and he spoke with more confidence.
"I don't know. Anyway, when I went there, there was no one there. Maybe they went there too, and when they saw no one, they went back on their own. No, why didn't you inform me in advance if you couldn't get up? Really."
Li Yiming: "That's strange. I remember I went to bed very early last night. How come no one called me? I'll go ask Li Xi and the others to see if they know."
Jiang Ning was puzzled: "What does it have to do with Li Xi?"
Li Yiming seemed to be complaining to Jiang Ning, saying:
"You don't know, yesterday was Li Xi's birthday, she invited a bunch of friends to come over and have a big party, my mom also indulged them and made a scene at home, and she even insisted on taking me along, I couldn't run away even though I wanted to, I drank a lot of wine, I knew I might not be able to get up today, so I asked my assistant to remind me to come, but the assistant didn't call me, I went to turn it on after a while, really."
"Birthday!"
Jiang Ning seemed to have caught the key words. The little fortune teller told her to be wary of people born in the afternoon in summer. Could it be... Li Xi?
Thinking of this, Jiang Ning hung up the phone in a hurry and asked Assistant Li to check Li Xi's date of birth. Assistant Li quickly gave her feedback that she was born in November. Li Xi's date of birth was clearly written on Baidu Encyclopedia, but she didn't know whether it was true.
Jiang Ning: "Is there a specific time point?"
“I don’t know about that, but I can try.”
Assistant Li called up an app from his mobile phone. Unlike ordinary software, special verification was required to enter. Assistant Li entered a series of passwords and then entered the information page.
Jiang Ning leaned over and asked Assistant Li: "What kind of software is this?"
Assistant Li thought about it for a while and decided to tell Jiang Ning.
He said: "This is a large database. Any organism on Earth can be found here. Currently, this is confidential software and not everyone can access it."
Jiang Ning exclaimed: "It's really advanced. Then you can check it out and tell me when you are done."
Special Assistant Li entered the two words "Li Xi" in the search box and saw thousands of people with the same name. He further narrowed the search scope and screened Li Xi's school, hometown, gender, and age one by one. Finally, he locked on a person. There was also her photo on it, so it must be her.
Special Assistant Li turned around and told Jiang Ning the news.
"Ms. Jiang, we found out that Li Xi was born at 5pm on July 24th at Renhe Central Hospital. Her age listed on Baidu Encyclopedia is false. She is actually three years older than she said."
Jiang Ning slapped his thigh and suddenly realized:
"Then everything makes sense. Little Guaxian just wants us to be wary of Li Xi, right?"
Special Assistant Li:
"That should be it, miss. Where should we go next?"
Jiang Ning sat in the back seat, staring at the road in front of the windshield, and said firmly:
"Go back to the set."
At the same time, Jiang Ning did not forget to send a message to Gu Yuan to report that he was safe: "I have arranged everything here, so you don't have to worry about it. Assistant Li, remember to give him a raise, he is really efficient."
Gu Yuan: "Okay, my dear, I know you are the best."
"Ding Dong, five million yuan has arrived in Alipay."
The cell phone beeped, and Gu Yuan transferred some more money to Jiang Ning's card, calling it a work ethic award for his wife's hard work.
The crew was much more lively this time than when he came in the morning. Jiang Ning didn't have to think about it, it must be Li Yiming who notified them to come over.
Jiang Ning jumped out of the car and randomly found a person from the crew and asked him, "Why didn't you come this morning?"
The staff member also looked at Jiang Ning with strange eyes, puzzled: "Didn't you receive the notice? Director Li sent us a message saying that the filming was suspended today and we didn't need to come. That's why we didn't come."
Jiang Ning's face was filled with disbelief, and he said, "Li Yiming told you not to come?"
"Yeah, that's right. I thought I could rest today, but he just suddenly told us to come back within 30 minutes. Who knows what he's going to do."
Jiang Ning: "Okay, I understand. Thank you."
"You're welcome, bye."
Jiang Ning entered the actors' lounge and lifted the door curtain. Everyone was busy doing their makeup. When they saw her come in, they all greeted her at the same time.
She asked several people in the room, and their statements were exactly the same as what the staff member outside said, that Li Yiming told them not to come.
"It must be Li Xi's doing again. How can it benefit her if the crew doesn't make money? I really don't understand."
Jiang Ning thought that she originally wanted to go to Li Yiming's lounge to take a look, but she was pulled away by the makeup artist who came to do her makeup, and she didn't even have the time to go in and take a look.
Suddenly, an extremely ominous feeling arose from the bottom of Jiang Ning's heart. Her heartbeat suddenly accelerated. In her confusion, she remembered what the little fortune-teller said: "If you encounter a particularly dangerous situation, open the brocade bag, it can save your life."
Jiang Ning opened the red brocade bag with shaking hands. Inside were some dried herbs with a faint fragrance. He dug deeper and found a small piece of paper at the bottom, mixed in with the herbs.
There was only one line of words on the note: "It is not suitable to drink water today."
"That's it? Not that? I thought it was some magical formula or something. I ran so far, and all I got in return was a sentence of 'don't drink the water' in the magic bag. It's really a bit ridiculous."
Jiang Ning smiled self-deprecatingly, then threw the bright red sachet into the trash can.
But soon, she realized what was written in the brocade bag.
Li Xi came into the dressing room with several cups of milk tea in his hands. Behind him were two assistants, who were also carrying cups full of milk tea.
Li Xi smiled brightly, just like when Jiang Ning first saw her.
Li Xi raised the milk tea in his hand and shook it in front of his eyes, saying, "Thank you for your hard work. You are still filming in such a hot day. I will treat you all to ice milk tea!"
There was a sudden cheer in the dressing room. Li Xi distributed drinks to everyone one by one, leaving only one cup in his hand, and then walked towards Jiang Ning.
"Here, here you go. I ordered it especially for you without sugar."
Li Xi hooked the milk tea with her thumb and looked up. Although outsiders thought she was passing the milk tea to Jiang Ning, from Jiang Ning's perspective, it was a completely provocative expression.
It was as if he was saying, "Drink it! If you refuse me in front of so many people, it will make you look hypocritical."
The words in the brocade bag flashed through Jiang Ning's mind: "It is not suitable to drink water today."
In an instant, her scalp felt like it exploded and goose bumps appeared all over her body. Her intuition told her that she could not drink this cup of milk tea.
Jiang Ning accepted it politely, then put the milk tea aside without drinking it.
Li Xi pressed her, "Why? You don't want to drink it? I came all the way here and worked so hard to buy it. You're being so rude."
Jiang Ning became even more certain that what he thought was right, so he wanted to make up a random excuse and find a way to get out of it.
"I'm sorry, I've been feeling a little unwell lately and can't really drink iced milk tea. I'm afraid I'll let you down. How about this, I'll give this cup to the director later, so your kindness won't be in vain."
"No need, I'll go to him myself."
Li Xi snatched the milk tea that Jiang Ning had placed on the dressing table and turned into the director's lounge.
