Chapter 234 Sponsors
Kyoto Film Studio.
Night had fallen, and the artificial snow shimmered with a cold light under the lamplight.
Yu Zheng rubbed his red eyes, glanced at Jiang Bai on the monitor—a woman whose every step exuded a tragic beauty—and finally clapped his hands, announcing loudly:
"Cut! That's all for today's scenes. Everyone, thank you for your hard work, go home and get some rest!"
"Thank you for your hard work, Director!"
"Thank you for your hard work, Ms. Bai Zhi!"
A lighthearted cheer erupted on set.
As the staff packed up the tripods, they couldn't help but glance at Jiang Bai out of the corner of their eyes.
To be honest, working with the goddess Jiang Baizhi was a real treat for the entire crew.
Not only is he good-looking, but his acting skills are also superb; he can get almost all the difficult scenes right in one take.
This efficiency allowed the lighting and photography crew, who were originally prepared to work through the night, to finish two hours early!
"You've all worked hard, see you tomorrow."
Jiang Bai nodded, acknowledging the crowd's enthusiasm.
He then eagerly grabbed his phone from the table next to him, a mischievous smile playing on his lips.
"Let me see how anxious those three animals are."
When I opened the WeChat dormitory group, the screen was filled with red "99+" messages, which almost made my phone freeze.
Jiang Bai slowly scrolled up.
Watching those three guys, who were initially politely asking for information, later become so anxious they were jumping up and down.
Finally, they even began to suspect that he had drunk too much water from the Pacific Ocean.
"Haha, drinking water? I'm going to be an empress!"
Jiang Bai was having a good time when his gaze fell on the last few messages, and his smile suddenly froze on his face.
Su Ze: [@Jiang Bai, you surnamed Jiang! Stop playing dead!]
[I just had my second sister compare it to a string of pearls worth 500,000 yuan. The necklace your sister is wearing could easily buy an apartment in Shanghai!]
【You keep asking me for instant noodle soup in the dorm every day, don't you have any conscience?!】
Lin Le: [Holy crap! Really? A house? Jiang Bai, you're actually a top-tier hidden conglomerate?!]
Gu Dapeng: [Brother-in-law...you're not just pretending to be poor, you're playing with our brotherly bond! I was just thinking of sharing half of my family's heirloom cured pork with you!]
"A necklace?"
"A house?"
Jiang Bai blinked, subconsciously thinking of the double-layered pearl necklace she wore on The Voice of China.
Could it be that one?
Worth... millions?
Jiang Bai felt his breathing quicken.
"Master, are you there? Come out and greet the customer!"
Jiang Bai frantically screamed in his mind, "Su Ze said this necklace of mine is worth a million? Tell me the truth, did you steal from a bank behind my back?"
[Ding! Host, please put away your naive and unsophisticated attitude.]
Everything produced by this system is guaranteed to be of high quality.
That string of pearls are natural platinum pearls harvested from the deep sea at a depth of 10,000 meters, and the roundness of each pearl is within the nanometer range.
[Let alone that pearl necklace, even the hair clips you usually win in lotteries, though seemingly ordinary, are actually made of aerospace-grade alloy and top-quality mother-of-pearl.]
You often complain that I'm stingy, saying I only win a few hundred yuan in cash prizes. But actually, any one of these seemingly insignificant trinkets could easily fetch millions at auction.
Jiang Bai's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.
He simply thought the pearl was round and shiny, and that he had just randomly drawn it from the system; he hadn't even considered the price.
"System, just how many treasures are in your lottery pool that I don't know about?"
[A huge amount! So much that you could never finish drawing them all in your lifetime!]
[By the way, those white sneakers of yours that are said to be "passed down through three generations," in terms of durability and functionality, are roughly equivalent to the cost of a fully equipped aircraft carrier in your world.]
Of course, this is still a friendly estimate.
"An aircraft carrier?"
Jiang Bai felt a cold wind of poverty blow past him from behind, and he almost knelt down.
He looked at the pair of white sneakers in the system's inventory that he often wore in the mud and used to kick small stones on the roadside, and his heart clenched violently.
"Holy crap! So all that time I was doing, marching in formation on a Varyag every day?"
After a brief moment of shock, Jiang Bai's greedy heart was instantly rekindled.
It seems like he's thought of something.
His initially shocked expression instantly turned into one of extreme fawning:
"Oh, Brother Tong! Master Tong!"
"I knew you were the best to me!"
"I was speaking a little too loudly just now. How about we make a deal?"
"Since these things are so valuable, could I... perhaps get rid of one or two of them?"
"For example, that hair clip, and the double-layered pearl necklace. If I sell them, will I never have to act again for the rest of my life?"
"How about I use all my remaining popularity points for the lottery, Master?"
[Ding! The item issued by the system has a unique binding attribute and cannot be traded in the current dimension.]
"......"
Jiang Bai's enthusiastic heart was instantly chilled by a bucket of ice water.
"Can't it be sold?"
"So all of this is real estate? What's the difference between me and a beggar?"
"Fine, fine, let's break off all ties right now!"
"You bastard, you dog commander!!!"
After arguing.
Jiang Bai picked up his phone again and replied to Su Ze.
He still needed to explain, since he would be relying on Su Ze's instant noodles in the future.
Jiang Bai: [Don't talk nonsense, that was sponsored. My sister likes to wear plastic accessories all the time. Our family is dirt poor. I was really hungry when I drank your instant noodle soup last time.]
After replying, seeing that Su Ze did not respond, Jiang Bai casually opened the system panel.
Since The Voice of China started airing, its popularity has been fluctuating wildly, steadily breaking through the two million mark.
Looking at that long string of zeros.
Jiang Bai's frustration vanished instantly, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously turned up, revealing a silly grin that was both charming and a little greedy.
Just then, He Shengming, who had finished packing his things, inadvertently caught a glimpse of this scene.
Under the moonlight, Jiang Bai's radiant smile was like a heavy hammer blow, striking the heart of this "Great Han General".
"So beautiful... Even her silly smile looks so real and cute."
He Shengming screamed inwardly as he slowly moved toward Jiang Bai.
His face flushed red, and he stammered out:
"Teacher Jiang Baizhi, you haven't left yet?"
Jiang Bai heard the voice, looked over, and saw that it was He Shengming. His expression instantly turned aloof.
A hint of fatigue showed on her face: "Oh, it's Teacher He. Is there something you need?"
He Shengming stammered for a long time, unable to come up with anything to say.
In the end, all that came out was: "Um... Goodnight, Ms. Bai Zhi, sweet dreams."
