Chapter 43 The Hidden Capital Behind Jing Tian!
Meng Ziyi didn't want to go back to school and planned to take a day off to take care of him here, and leave again tomorrow when Xu Lang was discharged from the hospital.
However, Xu Lang was adamant that he couldn't let his actions affect Meng Ziyi's studies. Meng Ziyi couldn't argue with him, but thinking that Xu Lang was doing it for her sake, she gave up.
Little did he know, Xu Lang was worried that other girls would find out about his injury and suddenly come after him, especially Mao Xiaotong.
The thought of that chaotic battlefield sent chills down his spine.
"That's right. You should focus on your studies right now. You can come back next weekend."
Seeing that she was pouting and looking unhappy, Xu Lang offered her the option to come over next weekend.
Meng Ziyi was a little angry and didn't say anything.
Xu Lang reached out and grasped her snow-white hand, soft and boneless, and said:
"If my actions affect your studies, I will never forgive myself."
The moment Meng Ziyi's hand was grabbed, she felt a mix of panic and surprise. Her heartbeat quickened involuntarily, and her blood circulation accelerated slightly.
She tried to pull away, but was held tightly and was forced to "enjoy" it.
"Alright, but you need to report your injury status to me every day. Your injury hasn't healed yet, you have to go back to the set. Your health is the most important thing!"
Her fair cheeks flushed slightly as she gave her final instructions.
"Okay, I promise!"
Xu Lang nodded seriously.
"Ugh, I'm getting goosebumps. I shouldn't be here. I need to go outside for a smoke to calm my nerves!"
Qiao Zhenyu rolled his eyes at the two of them, then immediately got up and walked towards the door.
Upon hearing this, Meng Ziyi's face turned even redder, and she tightened her grip on the hand being held, but unfortunately, Xu Lang's strength was always greater than hers.
"If you let go, it won't look good if someone sees!"
"OK!"
Xu Lang immediately released her grip, and she withdrew her hand as well.
"Uh..." She was a little stunned for a moment, looking at the hand that had been pulled away, feeling a mix of inexplicable disappointment and bewilderment...
If I tell you to loosen up, will you really loosen up?
Are you stupid?
Do you understand a girl's modesty?
"Ziyi, are you alright?" Xu Lang knew all too well how girls could be reserved.
This is how you have to flirt with female college students who haven't even graduated yet. Good looks are the key, but you also need to know the techniques.
Flirting with girls is an art worth exploring!
"Uh...ah? It's okay, I'm fine!" Meng Ziyi's hand, still in the withdrawn position, felt a little awkward. Putting it down didn't help, so she picked up an apple next to her and started peeling it again...
"Ziyi, you've been on set these past few days, so I haven't been able to take you out for a walk. Once filming wraps up, I'll take you to Sanya sometime, how about that?"
"Really?" Meng Ziyi's bright eyes shone even brighter.
"I've been to Sanya with my family, to spend the winter with my mom and the others, but that was a long time ago."
The atmosphere gradually relaxed, and the conversation returned to normal.
Dusk is falling!
Xu Lang called Qiao Zhenyu in and asked him to escort Meng Ziyi away.
He was the only one left in the ward!
A dozen minutes later!
Yang Mi and Reba arrived. Reba's eyes were red and filled with anxiety. Although she had learned about the situation beforehand, she was still very worried.
"Honey, Dilraba, you're here."
Xu Lang, holding onto the edge of the bed with both hands, tried to get up, but Yang Mi pressed down on his shoulders:
"Don't move, just lie down!"
He placed the fruit basket he was carrying on the bedside table and said:
"I'm here on behalf of the film crew. Director Liang asked me to pass on a message: the crew remembers you. You look much better; how are you feeling?"
Xu Lang smiled and said, "It's nothing serious, I just twisted my ankle."
Lowering his voice slightly, he glanced at Dilraba out of the corner of his eye and said:
"Honey, what's the situation with the wire work? Have you found out?"
Yang Mi didn't speak immediately, but looked at Reba beside her:
"You haven't had dinner yet, have you, Dilraba? Go buy some food for you."
Dilraba naturally knew what the two wanted to talk about, and the more they did so, the more likely it was that this was not an accident.
However, since Yang Mi did not want him to know, he could only walk away.
"Xu Lang, is there anything you'd like to eat?"
She stood up and asked.
Xu Lang said casually, "I'm not picky, just buy whatever you like."
Dilraba turned and went out.
Yang Mi turned to make sure Reba had left, then looked at Xu Lang and sighed softly:
"It's been investigated and it's a problem with the wire harness, but the wire harness team won't admit it. I don't think their attitude is fake, but if it's a problem with the wire harness, they have to take responsibility."
"I have a question for you. Do you know Jing Tian?"
Xu Lang frowned slightly!
Jing Tian?
A flower symbolizing wealth and honor in the human world?
Since this concerns her, could it be that the capital behind her is behind this?
Rumors circulate about the powerful capital behind Jing Tian, but no one knows who it is. At least in my previous life, even living to 2026, I haven't seen any concrete news about it.
On the contrary, it was later rumored that she was abandoned by capital and her film and television resources were downgraded, but this led to a major turnaround in her career. She got involved in a web series and became an instant hit.
At present, she is still under the control of the capital behind her.
Did my presence infringe upon the interests of capital?
However, his contact with Jing Tian was still very superficial. They had only met once, and usually only chatted on WeChat. It wasn't even considered an ambiguous relationship.
Could this little bit of contact have crossed someone's red line?
"know!"
Yang Mi frowned, as if his suspicions had been confirmed, and said:
"How far have you two progressed? Have you slept together yet?"
"Uh... Honey, what are you thinking!" Xu Lang was stunned, not expecting Honey to be so direct.
We're a man and a woman here alone. As a girl, isn't it a bit unladylike for you to ask such a direct question in such a serious tone?
Yang Mi remained serious: "Answer my question!"
"No!" Xu Lang replied immediately, "Chai Biyun introduced us. We met once, then exchanged contact information and chatted occasionally."
"Honey, why are you suddenly bringing her up? Is she involved in this accident?"
Yang Mi thought for a moment and said:
"There are no direct clues linking it to her, but this morning I received a call asking me to tell you to stay away from Jing Tian and not to try to get close to her."
"...What call? Who called?" Xu Lang's heart skipped a beat. Was it really the capital behind her that was behind this?
Although the financial backing behind her is obscure to outsiders, the fact that Jing Tian has consistently played the lead role in every film since her debut, in every big-budget production, and even had award-winning actors and actresses accompany her, demonstrates her substantial financial resources.
This further propelled her into the heart of Hong Kong Island's business world, proving that her methods were extraordinary.
In short, he's not someone a nobody like him can compete with!
Although I have the advantage of being reborn, it is still too young. The best course of action is to avoid its sharp edge and focus on developing my strength.
Yang Mi sighed softly and said:
"Perhaps these two things are unrelated, and this accident might just have been a genuine incident. Don't overthink it."
"But one thing I advise you to do is not to get too close to Jing Tian. Blocking and deleting her is not appropriate, so just chat less, or try not to chat at all."
"You're just starting out. If they really wanted to ruin your career, it would be too easy, especially since you haven't yet found any powerful backers."
"Xu Lang, in the entertainment industry, if you want to make steady and rapid progress, the best thing to do is to board a big ship. I have high hopes for you, and I sincerely invite you to join my Jaywalk Media. What I can offer you is a contract that far exceeds that of a newcomer."
As he spoke, he turned to look at the door, waved, and his assistant came over and handed him a document.
Yang Mi took it, placed it on Xu Lang, and said confidently:
"Xu Lang, you can take a look. My plan is for established stars to mentor newcomers. Dilraba was my first experiment, and I hope you can be the second."
Xu Lang glanced at the contract, his mind flashing back to his past life when Dilraba was single-handedly propelled to the top by Yang Mi. This path was indeed stable, but…
He looked up at the deepening night outside the window.
