The Martial Artist Turned Movie Mogul-Chapter 890 - 889. Is this what people do?!
Chapter 890: 889. Is this what people do?!
When the webpage showed a presale volume of seventy million, Du An, sitting in the president’s office, felt that invisible pressure from his rivals once again.
"This isn’t the first time. Has She Yu been found yet?"
"No, the Calligraphy Association insists on not revealing the judges’ information, making it difficult for us to ascertain She Yu’s true identity."
"What about online, have any participants from the national calligraphy and painting competition revealed anything?"
The secretary immediately displayed a disdainful expression, "Those are all boasting messages, some even wildly speculate that a female actress is She Yu, totally crazy!"
"..." That is indeed crazy.
Du An rubbed his temples, his gaze sweeping over the enormous numbers on the webpage once again, feeling unprecedented exhaustion.
"There should have been photos leaked from that calligraphy competition, right? Send me the information you’ve collected."
He didn’t believe that with so many people at the scene, not one could be swayed to talk!
"Okay President Du, I will send it to your email shortly."
Ten minutes later, after handling the last signatory document at hand, Du An opened his work email, documents swarming in. After browsing through several messages, his eyes settled on a photo.
It was a photo taken from the perspective of the audience, not very clear due to the distance, but clear enough for him to see the ten people sitting in the Judges’ Area.
"Hmm? Tang Shu?"
How is she there?
Oh right, the secretary did mention there was a female celebrity there, it must have been her.
"The Calligraphy and Painting Association is really doing well, starting to invite celebrities to increase public attention?"
Really impressive!
Forget it, better focus on the real work, figuring out who She Yu is among the judges... Just use the process of elimination.
Firstly, Tang Shu, PASS.
***
On the third day entering the depths of the Northwest Forest, Tang Shu and her three-person team had already traveled most of the way.
The originally clean camouflage was now unrecognizable, their faces covered in dust, and despite their best efforts to avoid it, exhaustion was inevitable.
Ren Xiazhi scratched his days-unwashed hair, feeling fatigued.
"How much longer do we need to walk? This forest is just too big!"
"If we stick to the original plan, we should reach our destination by tomorrow evening."
"Great!"
"However... we need to change the path."
Tang Shu found a clean stone to sit on and carefully observed the map, her eyes gleamed with a mischievous intent.
"Why? Is there a change in the planned route? We’ve rarely encountered instructors and students along the way."
Ren Xiazhi wasn’t wrong, in these three days they had a smooth journey, encountering danger a few times but Zhou Daniu, with his superior physical condition, handled everything; they barely needed to lift a finger. Not to mention food, although Tang Shu was terrible at cooking, she never let herself suffer; tired of compressed biscuits, she would simply catch a few birds to feast on, even grilling wild chickens and ducks, ensuring splendid meals.
—Of course, the temporary cook wasn’t her, but the very experienced Zhou Daniu.
The instructors likely stationed deep in the forest didn’t have such good treatment.
But... why the sudden change of route?
Tang Shu gave Ren Xiazhi a meaningful look, "Your physical condition is too poor, no improvement in these three days, you need some training."
Another more important reason was—It’s too boring.
Ren Xiazhi: "!!!"
Why do I have to train during such a tough assessment period? What kind of absurd reasoning is this!
Zhou Daniu completely ignored the troubled expression of the young member, nodding in agreement with enthusiasm, "Exactly, you lack experience; this forest will definitely enhance your strength."
Let’s start, buddy!
Ren Xiazhi was in despair, he wanted no part of this challenge.
However, under the overwhelming odds of 2-to-1, the young boy had no choice but to accept the unanimous decision from the other two, embarking on a journey like never before.
Two hours later, they purposefully found a group of students and instructors engaged in combat, Ren Xiazhi’s originally gloomy expression immediately turned ecstatic, his eyes nearly shining green.
"There’s a device!"
"What?"
"A device! That instructor has a communication device, if we snatch it, we’ll hit the jackpot!"
"Wait, you didn’t want to come just a moment ago, why the sudden change?"
"Uh... I didn’t know they had a device. Think about it, they can track all students and instructors with it. If we don’t snatch it, it’ll be hard to shake them off!"
Zhou Daniu was instantly persuaded, decisively declaring, "Then let’s snatch it!"
He could fight indeed, but absolutely couldn’t expose their team’s location.
Tang Shu, watching the instructor with the so-called device, pondered quietly for a while, her clear eyes growing more and more mysterious.
Seems like there’s fun to be had — freewёbnoνel.com
Zhou Daniu said, "Sister Tang Shu, quick, come up with a plan!"
Clearly, after three days together, Tang Shu had become the brains of the group, traditionally called — the strategist.
However, this strategist sitting in the bushy cover didn’t even think before rejecting, "No need for a plan, just go in."
Both were like: "???"
In the next instant, what had been a 5-on-4 fight scene suddenly changed to 8-on-4, and the five students who were getting suppressed just a moment ago became... spectators.
Yes, spectators.
"What on earth is happening, where did these three come from?"
"Oh wow! That big guy can actually take on two at once and still hold his own, so impressive!"
"Yikes? That little boy is about to lose!"
Before they could go up to help, they saw Tang Shu, who was fighting one of the instructors, suddenly kick that person two meters away.
Everyone: "..."
Ren Xiazhi rejoined the fight, casually saying "thanks." However, the young boy was no match for the instructor no matter how hard he tried, getting hit occasionally. Nearby, Tang Shu held a handgun, occasionally taking shots at the unfortunate instructor, deliberately missing vital points.
Painful but not deadly.
"..."
Everyone fell into an eerie silence.
"Is this even human?!"
"This isn’t a fight for life and death; it’s clearly insult, a plain insult!"
Everyone could see that under Tang Shu’s menacing gun, that unlucky instructor had completely become Ren Xiazhi’s sparring partner, and quite the unwilling one at that.
When Zhou Daniu swiftly took down the other two, he crossed his arms to watch the battle, interspersed with some hearty advice.
"Target his lower body, hey hey dodge his leg... ow, why are you so clumsy!"
Instructor resigned to his fate: "..."
Students escaping death to watch the drama: "..."
No need to exaggarate.
