Once they’re in a secluded area, Qiao Anlu comes alive, "Quick, quick, quick, tell me how you won over Doctor Zhu?"
Tong Ji Yang leans against the wall and looks her up and down, "I heard Doctor Zhu likes someone well-endowed, someone you can feel with your hands. You’re wrapped up so tightly, isn’t that going against the flow?"
As he says this, he gestures as if he’s grabbing air. Qiao Anlu hits his palm, "Seeing as you’ve fallen so low now, I’m not going to argue with you! Hmph!" Qiao Anlu rolls her eyes, "I, the great Qiao Anlu, still need your tips? I’ll have Doctor Zhu wrapped around my finger in no time, just watch."
Just as she strides two steps away, Ada calls out, "Lu Lu? Where do you think you’re going? The car downstairs is still waiting; get to the event site this instant!"
Qiao Anlu stops and takes a breath, "Yes, I’m going right away."
She trudges back dejectedly, sees Ji Niandong and Ada appear together, reaches out to pat Ji Niandong on the shoulder, "Getting smeared is a good thing, proves you’re popular, don’t be down, I’ve been through it."
"If you don’t go now, is it..."
"Going, going, going!" Ada doesn’t finish her sentence before Qiao Anlu hurries to comply, running down the stairs dejectedly.
Ji Niandong chuckles, "Looks like Sister Lu is really in love, getting increasingly lively, she used to always be dead tired."
"She isn’t lively because of love; it’s because she’s been slacking off for ages and finally got a good rest." Ada wrinkles her brow, "At long last, things are okay; you get back to work, she’s listening now, I’m finally relieved."
"Won’t Sister Ada thank me properly?" Tong Ji Yang still leaning to one side, raises an eyebrow in a mischievous grin.
"Thank you! Finish ’Picking Up a Nine-tailed Fox’ well." Ada finishes and asks, "You’re not participating in this year’s Golden Dragon Film Festival, right?"
"I’ve withdrawn from the entertainment industry, why would I care about a film festival?" He turns to Ji Niandong, "If I hadn’t duped Tongtong before, I wouldn’t even shoot this Nine-tailed drama."
Ji Niandong knows he’s done his best to salvage her image and make up for losses, she softly replies, "Thank you."
Tong Ji Yang strides over hearing her say this, "Want something more substantial?"
"Sure! As long as Brother Beichen doesn’t mind." Ji Niandong laughs mischievously with her hands behind her back.
Tong Ji Yang chuckles twice, "Get to the set, no more chit-chat!"
After officially announcing his exit from the entertainment industry, ’Picking Up a Nine-tailed Fox’ became his final project; the fans are outside the set crying and wailing, constantly chanting Lin Ji Yang’s slogans, absolutely relentless and determined.
The director, overwhelmed by the noise, instructs the staff nearby, "Tell the fans outside to quiet down, it’s disrupting filming."
"Director, we’ve already enhanced security to prevent them from coming in, how can we possibly drive them away?" The staff are in a bind.
Tong Ji Yang speaks up, "I’ll go out and say something."
The fans get even more excited seeing him come out, Lin Ji Yang gestures for them to quiet down, bows, and says, "I never bow to anyone in my life; leaving the entertainment industry has disappointed you. This is my last work, so I hope you can cooperate a bit and let us film in peace, okay?"
"Sunshine, is someone forcing you to leave the industry?"
"Sunshine, we’re your die-hard fans, we know you said that on purpose, right? Now that you’re gone, how are we supposed to study hard and work well?"
