Chapter 427
Tong Yufei’s hand trembled even more.
Of course she knew the movie Eternal Knight.
Eternal Knight was a superhero movie, produced and released by Time Media.
The first three parts, all of them, had achieved great box office results.
The third one, in particular, was a high grosser at the global box office
Both the main characters and the important supporting characters have become instant hits.
This hit refers to the international film and television world.
At the beginning of this year, the planning for the fourth installment of Eternal Knight was released worldwide and a worldwide casting call was opened.
Time Media has taken into account the box office in China, so it has interspersed the fourth film with a Chinese female lead.
The role is not particularly large, but it is a standout.
After the plan was released, there were quite a few actors who wanted to act in it.
Tong Yufei also paid attention to it and knew that the audition was due at the end of 2021.
But she quickly put it to the back of her mind, because she simply didn’t expect that such a good movie script could fall to him.
Tong Yufei pursed her lips and looked at the contract again, hesitating whether she should sign it or not.
The secretary could see her hesitation, so she added, “Miss Tong, don’t worry, you are the victim, the weaker party, now that Primeval Light Media is internally unstable, we have prepared a plan, and public opinion will only be on your side.”
“Good.” In the end, Tong Yufei nodded, she gritted her teeth, “But I don’t just want this film, I want more resources for international film and television festivals, this matter, I will definitely help you get it done.”
There were too many artists in First Light Media, and she was not the most outstanding one.
It was still due to luck that she was able to have a small fire.
But the traffic that came this way wouldn’t last long, plus this line of work for actors also eats youthful rice.
If she doesn’t have the right work and doesn’t succeed in her transition, she will be out of fashion in a few years.
Tong Yufei couldn’t bear it.
Although her agent has been trying to get her more resources, but how can it compare to Eternal Knight 4?
“Miss Tong is really sensible.” Luo Wenbin, who had been listening, revealed a smile, “Please, Miss Tong, when Primeval Light Media is swallowed up by Celestial Entertainment, you will also be a meritorious servant.”
Tong Yufei took the neutral pen from the secretary’s hand and signed her name on the contract.
The secretary put the contract away and intentionally asked, “Miss Tong, have you met the new CEO of Primeval Light Media?”
Tong Yufei tried hard to recall, “I haven’t seen the face, it’s a very thin middle-aged man.”
With her position in Primeval Light Media, she would not have been summoned by the executive director yet.
Luo Wenbin nodded his head.
It was the same result as what they had investigated.
As long as it was a man, this would be a good deal.
“Good, Miss Tong.” Luo Wenbin shook hands with Tong Yufei once again, “Thank you for your trust, and I’ll need your support for the next thing.”
“My secretary will be in touch with you.”
Tong Yufei nodded, put her mask back on and left.

At night, the Ye family.
Water Moon Pavilion.
The banquet was already set up, with Ying Ziji and Ye Ling sitting at a table.
The Lord and Lady Ye sat at the main table, with the other sons and daughters of the Ye family below.
“Master, I think Miss Ying is good looking and well brought up, I really like her too much.” After holding back for a day, Madam Ye finally couldn’t hold back and still said what was in her heart, her eyes hopeful, “Look, can she be my daughter-in-law?”
The eldest young master of the Ye family was quite talented, not inferior to the Lin family’s direct descendants.
When the Ye family head heard this, he was startled and his body shivered as he covered Madam Ye’s mouth, “You don’t want your life?”
Madam Ye was a little confused.
“In future, such words must never be said.” The Ye family head carefully glanced around to make sure the girl wasn’t paying attention to their side, “Or else our Ye family will be lost.”
Only when she heard this did Lady Ye realise that something was wrong and lowered her voice too, “Could it be that Miss Ying already has ……”
The head of the Ye family just sighed, “Anyway, you must not say anything, Miss Ying is not someone we can cling to, just treat the guests well, don’t think about anything else.”
Lady Ye nodded and sighed.
The Ye family head coughed a few times and was serious: “Please eat, Miss Ying, consider it a family feast, don’t be polite.”
Ying Ziji nodded.
The Ye family head picked up the wine bottle on the table and was about to make a toast.
A cold, sarcastic voice came out, “You’re still drinking?”
The Ye family head frowned and looked over, his face sinking: “Ye Lang, what do you mean?”
“Eldest uncle, I’d like to ask you what you mean.” Ye Lang walked in with big steps and pointed at Ying Zigui, “Why did you let her waste my internal energy?”
When these words came out, the Water Moon Pavilion was a silence.
Ye Ling laughed in anger, “Ye Lang, what are you babbling about?”
“I’m talking nonsense?” Ye Lang sneered, “Then tell me, why is my internal energy gone?”
He only found out after he went back too.
He originally wanted to practice to repair the injuries in his body, but found that he couldn’t gather his internal energy at all.
At first he thought there was something wrong with his gongfu, but then he went to see the resident Ancient Doctor of the Ye Family.
The ancient doctor told him that his internal energy was gone.
At that time, only Ying Ziji had touched him.
Who else could it be but her?
“Shut up!” The Ye family head was instantly furious, “You lost your own internal energy and you want to blame it on Miss Ying? Bullying Miss Ying for coming from outside? She doesn’t even know what ancient martial arts is, and you’ve lost your internal energy? Are you dreaming?”
Ying Zidian took her chopsticks, turned a deaf ear to them and ate the cinnamon cake unhurriedly.
“Ye Ling, you are present, you speak.” Ye Lang’s eyes were cold and sullen, “Is she an ordinary person? Is there an ordinary person like her?”
“Dad, originally I didn’t want to count on this matter, since Ye Lang said it, then I’ll mention it too.” Ye Ling got up and bowed before saying, “Ye Lang tried to shoot me with a javelin and Miss Ying was almost injured, as for the other matters, I’m not sure at all.”
This matter was indeed Ye Lang’s style.
Not to mention the Ye family head, even Ye Lang’s own father, Second Uncle Ye, did not suspect.
Second Uncle Ye was busy rushing to speak before the Ye family head, “Ah Lang, don’t be ridiculous! Don’t go down yet!”
“Dad!” Ye Lang’s face turned blue, “I’m telling the truth!”
“How dare you slander?” The Ye family head slapped the table, “Someone, lock him up in the clan ancestral hall and forbid him to come out for three months.”
The family head’s words were absolute authority.
Immediately, some guards stepped forward and detained Ye Lang, ignoring how he struggled, and forcibly took him down.
“Ye Er, if a son is not taught, his father is at fault.” The Ye family lord looked at Ye second uncle again, coldly, “You are also responsible for this matter, the tokens of the three escort teams, hand them over.”
“And eight million dollars, you are restricted to pay back to Miss Ying within three days, without using any improper means.”
Second Uncle Ye opened his mouth, “Big Brother ……”
The Ye family head’s gaze became even colder.
Under the gaze of the many Ye family children, Second Uncle Ye could only hand over the three tokens very reluctantly.
His heart even throbbed for a moment.
For eight million dollars, he could only sell the medicinal herbs he had treasured for years.
“Miss Ying, the family is unfortunate.” The Ye family head was ashamed, “I have made you suffer.”
Ying Zidian said lightly, “It’s nothing.”
The Ye family head had been good to her, so she helped him out with someone.
It was nice to have a fight for fun too.
Of course, House Master Ye was also smart enough to know how to deal with his enemies quickly.
After the banquet, Yun Shan escorted Ying Zigui back to her bedroom.
He thought about it for a long time before speaking, “Miss Ying, why do I feel …… as if you did it on purpose?”
Otherwise, how could you go to the schoolyard for no reason?
All those ancient martial artists practicing in the schoolyard, he could crush them to death with one finger, there was nothing to see.
Hearing this, Ying Ziji turned his head, looked him up and down, and commented, “Having hair and being smart, it’s rare.”
Yun Shan: “???”
**
The next day.
Ten o’clock in the morning.
Zhong Manhua was packing her bags.
After the college entrance exam, she accompanied Ying Yuexuan to have her marks a*sessed.
The score was around 720.
The maths and science exams were very difficult this time, but Ying Yuexuan managed to get such a high score, so she was sure to be the top student.
Zhong Manhua was so happy that she booked a flight and a hotel and was going to take Ying Yuexuan abroad with her.
But Ying Yuexuan refused, saying that she only wanted to stay in China for a while.
So Zhong Manhua changed her route again.
She could already envisage how much honour a first prize winner in the national paper would bring her.
All the ridicule she had suffered earlier would be swept away.
The landline rang at this time, an unfamiliar number with a sharp ring.
Zhong Manhua frowned and picked up anyway, “Hello.”
“Mrs. Ying is it?” On the other end of the line, it was a nurse from the First Hospital, “Mr. Ying pa*sed out at work and is now being resuscitated in the emergency room, please come over as soon as possible.”
“Clang…”
Chapter 428
Zhong Manhua’s hand shook and the phone smashed on the floor.
In the receiver, the nurse’s voice continued, “Hello? Hello? Mrs. Ying, are you still listening?”
“Mr. Ying’s condition is very bad, without the family’s signature, we dare not operate on him, please come as soon as possible, thank you for your cooperation.”
Zhong Manhua’s gaze was dull and she couldn’t come back to her senses.
It was a long time before she grabbed her handbag and rushed out.
With her other hand, she picked up her mobile phone and dialed Ying Tianru, her voice trembling and her words out of tune: “Tian, Tianru, your father …… your father has had an accident, he’s being rescued in the hospital now, mommy please, come and see your father, okay?”
**
Fifteen minutes later, the first hospital.
The light in the emergency room was still on.
A doctor came out of it, wearing a mask and covered in sweat.
“Doctor, what’s wrong with my husband him?” Zhong Manhua was busy welcoming her, anxious, “Why did he suddenly faint?”
Hearing this, the doctor glanced at her.
Most of the doctors at the First Hospital didn’t have any good feelings towards the Ying family.
But they couldn’t help it, the doctor’s job was to save lives and help the injured.
Even if they didn’t like the Ying family, they still had to save them.
“The patient fainted because he was overworked and had insufficient blood supply to his brain.” The doctor spoke indifferently, “But just now we tested and found that the patient’s liver and parts of his lungs are also having problems, so he needs to be operated on immediately.”
Zhong Manhua’s body shook, unable to believe what she was hearing, “Liver and lungs?”
Ying Zhenting worked out all year round and had always been fit and strong, and he had regular annual health checks.
The last time he had a check-up was during the winter holidays.
How long has it been since then?
How come all of a sudden, there are problems with the liver and lungs?
“Emotions are important.” The doctor added, “Some diseases are caused by emotions. Have you ever heard of individual cancer patients who live longer because they are in a good mood?”
After he said this, he didn’t look at Zhong Manhua’s expression again, and went to the washroom to rinse himself off before hurrying inside the emergency room again.
Zhong Manhua waited outside, and the more he waited, the paler he became.
When Ying Tianru arrived at Hospital No. 1, Ying Zhending was already out of danger and had been moved from the emergency room to the intensive care unit.
After learning from the doctor about Ying Zhending’s current physical condition, he also found it a bit strange.
Acute liver failure.
How could his organs suddenly fail when he was in his prime?
Ying Zhending is the pillar of the Ying family and when he collapses, Zhong Manhua panics: “What should we do? What if your father doesn’t wake up?”
Ying Tianru didn’t answer this, but frowned: “I just asked the doctor, he said it might be a viral infection.”
“Viral infection?” Zhong Manhua’s body swayed again, “Your father has been at the company, how could he have a viral infection?”
“I’ll check it out.” Ying Tianru pursed his lips and suddenly spoke, “Mom, I just want to ask you, do you still have no guilt? You still don’t think you’ve done wrong?”
“Did you really mean it when you begged D**ky for Grandma’s illness and apologised to her last time? Are you sure you didn’t just morally kidnap her and force her to do it? When are you going to come to your senses?”
He had seen long ago that it was because of profit that Zhong Manhua had done what she did.
The human heart was shallow.
It’s really ridiculous.
At the mention of Ying Zigui’s name, Zhong Manhua looked a little lighter: “I wouldn’t do anything wrong, the most wrong thing I’ve done is to pick her up.”
“Why don’t you look at how many things have happened to our family since she came back?”
As soon as Ying Tianru heard this, he knew that it was useless for him to persuade further.
He took a deep breath and laughed under his breath, “You’re blaming everything on Ziji? She’s your punching bag?”
Zhong Manhua didn’t say anything, obviously acquiescing.
Ying Tianlv withdrew his smile, “Mum, I will still give you old age, but I won’t forgive you, ever.”
Zhong Manhua’s face changed, she opened her mouth and was about to say something when she was interrupted by Ying Tianru again.
“Grandpa is old, if you don’t look after him, I still have to go back and look after him.” Ying Tianru’s voice was very light, “You only need your adopted daughter, there’s no use for me to be here, I’ll go back first.”
He also stopped looking at Zhong Manhua and walked out of the ward.
Zhong Manhua had some regrets at this time.
She wanted to reconcile with Ying Tianliu, but she could not save face and habitually let out harsh words.
Master Zhong didn’t treat her well, and she naturally didn’t want to go to the Zhong family as she was just being scolded.
“Madam Ying, please come over here.” The attending doctor knocked gently on the door of the ward, faintly, “There’s an operation order that you need to sign.”
Zhong Manhua jerked back to her senses and went out with a white face.
Two nurses came in.
“I’d say their family is also retribution.” One of the nurses changed Ying Zhenting’s bottle while muttering in a low voice, “This forced his own daughter to have her blood drawn and now he’s sick himself.”
“I think sooner or later, something will happen to this Mrs. Ying too.”
People are doing it, heaven is watching.
The power of sin returns.
Things that can’t be helped.
“In the workplace, business and personal affairs have to be separated, you can’t say such things,” another nurse frowned at her, “If the head nurse hears you, she’ll dock your salary for a month.”
The nurse didn’t dare to say any more.
She picked up the medicine tray and left the ward.
**
Ancient Martial World.
Xie family.
The young man was lying on the bed, his face was handsome, his features deep.
But his face was as pale as paper, not even a trace of blood on his lips, and his body was terribly cold, his chest barely rising and falling.
Were it not for the fact that he was still breathing faintly, there would have been little difference between him and a dead man.
Five golden needles fell from the man’s head, shoulders and upper limbs, which twitched slightly.
There were three other men in the room.
One of them was an old man with a white beard, his eyebrows and hair were also silvery white.
“Grand Elder.” On the side, the gorgeous woman wiped her tears and spoke up, “Can you calculate how long Ah Yu can still last?”
The Grand Elder stroked his beard, his brows wrinkled tightly, “If we can’t find a suitable candidate yet, even if there are still medicinal herbs, we won’t last more than three months.”
Hearing these words, Lady Hua Mei’s face turned white and she almost fainted.
She choked back a sob, “A sin, what a sin, how could Ayu have such a calamity.”
“Mom, there is a chance, there is still a chance.” Xie Feng held Madam Xie, “As long as I bring back that Ying family’s thousand-year-old daughter that the Grand Elder counted out.”
“But didn’t you say that there was a good chance she was already dead?” Madam Xie wiped her tears, “How can I marry this person when she’s dead?”
If it were in the past, of course Madam Xie would not have let Xie Yu marry an ordinary person.
Not to mention ordinary people, even the daughters of other ancient martial arts families she could not see.
Only Lin Qingjia could catch her eye.
But there was no way out, Xie Yu only had one breath left now.
Xie Feng looked at the Grand Elder, “Please ask the Grand Elder to do another divination to find out where she is in O Continent and if she is still alive.”
As long as she was still alive, then she would definitely return to the country.
Sooner or later, he would be able to get her to the Ancient Martial World.
Even if Ying Zigui didn’t want to marry Xie Yu, she would have to.
The Grand Elder nodded.
Lady Xie also had renewed hope.
The Grand Elder took out nine bronze coins and placed them in order at the bottom of his feet.
The nine coins then slowly floated into the air under the impetus of internal energy.
As Xie Feng watched, he could not help but sigh softly in admiration, “The Grand Elder’s trigonometry skills are truly impressive.”
Although the Eldest Elder was not a member of the Xie family, he was still firmly in his position.
It was because he not only knew how to do trigrams, but was also proficient in ancient martial arts.
There were even fewer people like this than those who had dual training in ancient medicine and ancient martial arts.
After all, there were very few people who possessed the gift of trigonometry.
In all these years, there was only one person, the Eldest Elder.
Moreover, the Eldest Elder knows how to avoid harm, he calculates, but he does not interfere himself, even if the karma is changed, it will not be changed because of him, so the punishment will be smaller.
With his inner strength again, he has a longer life expectancy than the average trigonometric calculator.
The Xie family is also the only ancient martial arts family that does not have to have any dealings with the Fifth Family.
It was enough to have the Grand Elder sitting in the town.
Xie Feng gazed at the nine tumbling bronze coins and also felt a huge pressure of might, taking a slight step back.
He had heard the Grand Elder talk about this method of trigram calculation, which ordinary people could not read.
It was called the Money Gua.
An ordinary trigram reader can only use a maximum of three copper coins.
When the number of coins reaches nine, the greater the number of things that can be divined.
The Great Elder’s eyes were closed and his fingers were counting.
One second, two seconds, three seconds …… time pa*sed by.
When it came to the eighty-first second, these nine copper coins stopped tumbling and suddenly must!
At the same time.
Ying Ziji, who was lying in the courtyard watching the stars, lifted her head.
Her lazy look was withdrawn and her eyes narrowed abruptly.
