1528 Curiosity Kills the Cat
Yang Kun thought that Master Chi was ready to leave after that, but who would have thought that she would suddenly walk over to the girl, who was eating her lunch?
Yang Kun could only follow, and Master Chi took the initiative to greet the girl. “Hello!”
Yan Liling was very surprised to see someone take the initiative to greet her, but she immediately put down her bowl and chopsticks, stood up, and nodded at Chi Shuyan. “Hello!”
Chi Shuyan took the initiative to talk to the other party for a while. She could tell that the young lady in front of her was someone who spoke very little. At first, Yan Liling’s assistant stopped her, but Yan Liling sent her away, and even took the initiative to apologize on her assistant’s behalf; she had a very gentle voice.
“May I know why you’re looking for me?”
Not only was the other party’s voice gentle, it was also very cautious. Chi Shuyan’s first impression of this young lady was really good. She was quite good at reading people. She felt that this young lady was exactly who she appeared to be. Just now, after the other party finished filming with the man, the man went to the director and Director Wang to make his presence known. After filming, the woman didn’t say anything, but turned around and went straight back to her seat to eat and continue memorizing her lines. She didn’t join the crowd around Film Emperor Ruan and Film Empress Song Yanru.
Chi Shuyan wouldn’t have noticed this young lady if not for her black glabella.
Chi Shuyan didn’t say anything and only left a Safety Talisman on the table. She instructed Yan Liling to wear it for the next few days and not to take it off for the time being. After that, she turned around and left.
Yang Kun followed her, looking very curious. He didn’t understand why the Master treated that woman differently. It was best if that woman believed the Master. If she didn’t, she would definitely regret it.
Before Yang Kun followed Master Chi, he tilted his head and saw that the startled woman really did take the talisman not long after, and put it in her pocket. This woman was quite sensible.
Yang Kun whispered to Master Chi on the side that the other party had accepted the talisman.
When Chi Shuyan heard Yang Kun’s words, she subconsciously relaxed. To be honest, the most important reason for why she had given the other party a talisman was her age and how tragic her death would be. She couldn’t help but feel a trace of sympathy for her. In addition, she was about her age. It would be too much of a pity for her to suddenly die at such a young age. Chi Shuyan would help however she could, but she wouldn’t meddle more than that because of karma, unless the other party approached her herself.
Chi Shuyan had already given the other party advice; what happened after that depended on the latter’s fate.
Not long after, Director Wang, Ruan Shenglin, Song Yanru, Yan Zhengming, Song Chu and Cao Zhengsong, who had dealt perfunctorily with the overly enthusiastic film crew, walked over to Chi Shuyan’s side. It wasn’t good to talk about things while they were still here. Only after they left the film set did Director Wang hurriedly say, “Master, is the feng shui on the set next door really alright?”
In fact, Yan Zhengming had already conveyed Master Chi’s words earlier, but unless Master Chi said it herself, Director Wang couldn’t relax, which was why he asked the question again.
Chi Shuyan nodded. “There is indeed no major issue.”
Director Wang and the others swallowed and asked in shaky voices, “Master, what… what does that mean? Then, are there… other minor issues?”
Afraid that the Master was hiding something, Director Wang hurriedly said, “Master, just be honest with us. Don’t hide anything just because you’re afraid of scaring us.”
As soon as Director Wang said that, Song Chu and Cao Zhengsong hurriedly echoed, “That’s right, Master, be honest with us. Please don’t hide anything!”
Chi Shuyan hadn’t planned to tell Director Wang and the others at first that the young lady from the film crew next door had provoked something she shouldn’t have. Seeing how terrified they were, however, she could only explain in detail, “It means that the feng shui on the set here and in the film crew next door is fine. The only issue is with the female lead from the film crew next door; she provoked something she shouldn’t have. It has nothing to do with you, so it won’t implicate you!”
At Chi Shuyan’s words, Director Wang and the others relaxed but also jumped with fright. In particular, when they heard the Master mention that the female lead next door had provoked something she shouldn’t have, their legs subconsciously trembled and their faces turned pale. Fortunately, the Master said right after that that it had nothing to do with them and wouldn’t implicate them.
Only then did Director Wang and the others completely relax. However, some of them were curious and fearful about what the female lead in the film crew next door had provoked. It was just that they really couldn’t help even if they wanted to. Besides, they didn’t know her at all. Even if they asked the Master for help, the other party might not appreciate it, so everyone obediently shut up and didn’t ask any more.
Still, Song Chu and Cao Zhengsong, who were younger, were a little more curious than Director Wang, Ruan Shenglin and Song Yanru. They crowded around Chi Shuyan and tried to stealthily ask what thing the female lead next door had provoked.
As soon as the two boys asked, Director Wang immediately reprimanded them fiercely.
Ruan Shenglin, Song Yanru, Yan Zhengming and Yang Kun had also pricked their ears, when they saw the two boys being lectured by Director Wang.
It wasn’t that Director Wang wasn’t curious; it was just that as the oldest, he knew very well that curiosity killed the cat.
Director Wang was afraid that the Master next to him would be angry at Song Chu and Cao Zhengsong overstepping, so he hurriedly apologized carefully on their behalf. “Master, you don’t have to pay attention to these two brats. I think they have nothing better to do!” After saying that, he said darkly to the two brats with a cold face, “If you really want to know, why don’t I send the two of you to the film crew next door for a few days?”
Song Chu and Cao Zhengsong were so scared that they shut up obediently and didn’t dare speak again. The others also didn’t dare ask rashly.
Chi Shuyan saw that it wasn’t just the two young people in front of her who were curious; Ruan Shenglin, Song Yanru, and Manager Yan and Manager Yang kept mum, but they looked at her curiously. She frowned slightly and said, “Actually, it’s not that I can’t tell you, but it won’t do you any good if I tell you!”
Everyone still trembled with fear now after what happened in Dashan Village; if Chi Shuyan told them that the female lead in the film crew next door had provoked some thing which would peel the skin off her face, they probably wouldn’t be able to sleep well at night.
Chi Shuyan didn’t go back to the set with Director Wang and the others, but looked at the time and prepared to go back to school.
Director Wang hurriedly stopped her and said, “Master, you haven’t eaten lunch yet. I got someone to prepare it early. Have lunch first before you go back.”
As soon as Director Wang said that, Ruan Shenglin and the others immediately echoed him. They still had a lot to say to the Master, and wanted to thank her for the things which she sold in her shop.
These days, they were very clear on the worth of the things sold in the Master’s shop, including the rice. They were all priceless treasures. They still wanted the Master to put these goods up for sale more frequently. After tasting the spirit rice from the Master’s shop, they couldn’t forget it.
It was just that Ruan Shenglin and Song Chu were the only ones who had managed to snap up the spirit rice. Ruan Shenglin cooked a handful of rice every morning. It had to be said that every time the spirit rice was cooked, it tasted better and better. Moreover, Ruan Shenglin, his wife, and Brother Kun had been eating it every morning for the past few days, and their bodies had improved a lot. His wife had gone for a checkup, and her health had clearly improved a lot. All sorts of old ailments were gradually healing. This was simply a miracle and too unbelievable.
At first, he and Brother Kun thought that they were thinking too much. When they went for a physical checkup, they realized that it wasn’t just Xu Tong; even ailments like rheumatism and old internal injuries that had been very difficult to treat were gradually improving and recovering. To them, this spirit rice was simply a miracle medicine that instantly crushed all kinds of healthcare products. It was too shocking and unbelievable.
When they stared at the medical reports, their eyes almost popped out of their sockets in shock.
Ruan Shenglin, his wife and Brother Kun now vaguely understood the effects of this spirit rice. They made up their minds that if the Master restocked her shop, the first thing they would fight to grab was the spirit rice.
As for the others, although they didn’t have as deep an impression of the spirit rice as Ruan Shenglin, Xu Tong and Yang Kun, they had similar thoughts, mainly because the spirit rice tasted really good.
Chi Shuyan didn’t know what everyone else was thinking. As for eating lunch on set, she really didn’t plan to trouble them. Before she left, she only said, “You can call me if you need anything, but I’m afraid I’ll be going away this weekend for a while. If there’s an emergency, call me!”
