After the empress transmigrated, she became the judge of the entertainment industry.

Chapter 276 Nobody wants to use dirty tricks if they can avoid it.

Yin Junqi was still wandering around outside. He hadn't been sitting around idly these past few days; this kind of downtime was perfect for him to blend into the crowd and gather information.

Yin Junqi had a plan to get closer to the two of them, but no matter how he thought about it, he felt it was impossible to carry it out naturally.

He knew that Ye Sanqing was very difficult to talk to, and Sheng Hanyu was almost like a smiling tiger. He was thinking about whether there was a way to achieve this indirectly when he saw Lin Qianren come out with them.

"Right, isn't there someone right here?" he thought, looking at Lin Qianren who was with them.

Yin Junqi noticed that Ye Sanqing treated Lin Qianren and Su Xingyi quite well, without showing any particular favoritism towards either of them. He speculated that it might be a kind of mutual appreciation between the two, who were both from martial arts families.

But he hadn't observed the other two closely yet. Seeing them today, it seems Lin Qianren is receiving special treatment.

So... should we take a different approach to achieve this?

Yin Junqi quickly considered the options and then felt that it might be feasible.

According to his previous research, Lin Qianren had been sidelined before, but now she is participating in a martial arts drama, which shows that she still has ambition.

As for whether there was any exchange of benefits involved in this matter, he tends to think no, because if such a thing could be done, then being sidelined back then would not have been possible.

Even if Yin Junqi didn't know the specifics of what happened, he was very clear about the shady side of the entertainment industry, which was nothing more than the two most basic situations: unspoken rules and disobeying company orders.

Lin Qianren likely has both.

So, were she talking about changing jobs when she was with Ye Sanqing and Sheng Hanyu?

Sheng Hanyu's opening of Zhitian Entertainment has not yet been made public, but Yin Junqi attended Nangong Wang's party before, and Nangong Wang accidentally let it slip. Although he quickly asked everyone to keep it a secret, a small number of people still know about it.

As far as Yin Junqi knew, there were at least three people who were eager to take action after hearing the news, but they were simply bound by contracts and could not act immediately.

Yin Junqi himself was under contract; otherwise, he would have already tried to sign with Chang Le Wei Yang or Zhi Tian Entertainment.

However, his contract expires soon; he'll be done filming the martial arts drama soon, so his original plan was to build a good relationship with both of them during this time, so he could join either of their companies.

His current company is relatively small, and he is good at maneuvering, so his agent can only play a supporting role. Therefore, he usually has a lot of freedom.

However... that's still not enough.

To reach the top, a small company is far from enough.

Suddenly, Yin Junqi had an idea and decided to abandon all his previous plans. Could he try playing the victim in front of them?

Since Lin Qianren's current state can attract their attention, he certainly can too. The only drawback might be that Lin Qianren knows martial arts, while he doesn't, making it impossible for him to gain Ye Sanqing's even most basic favor.

So, even if you don't know how, you can still show that you're trying to learn.

Yin Junqi decided to keep an eye on Lin Qianren's company. The company was practically leaky, making it easy to gather information.

If there is any unusual activity, it means that his reasoning is correct.

After making the decision, Yin Junqi inexplicably felt a little relieved.

After all, nobody wants to resort to dirty tricks if they can avoid it.

Nothing much was going to happen that afternoon, but Ye Sanqing received an unexpected guest.

They weren't guests, but Ji Wan and Deng Lingxuan.

Ji Wan joined the crew, while Deng Lingxuan came to visit Ye Sanqing and Sheng Hanyu.

Taking advantage of Ye Sanqing's just finished his axe technique training for the day, Deng Lingxuan jumped out, exclaiming, "Surprise!"

Although Ye Sanqing was focused on training, she would still notice when someone came by, but she didn't bother to see who it was.

Upon seeing that it was Deng Lingxuan, she smiled and said, "What brings you here?"

Deng Lingxuan was a little excited and wanted to jump around, but after thinking about it, she decided to stand still.

“My uncle joined the crew, so I came with him to visit you guys. But filming hasn’t officially started yet, and Director Ye said we don’t need to release a press release about the visit for now. We can just take a few photos for future reference, so I just bought some milk tea.”

Deng Lingxuan pointed to the milk tea being distributed, and Ye Sanqing and she went over and each took a cup.

It's a bit of a hassle to transport the milk tea here; it takes more than an hour to drive here from the small town next door.

"Thank you so much! How's the movie going? Your uncle joined the crew, but I haven't seen him mention it in the group chat."

It was windy at the time, so after taking the milk tea, Ye Sanqing led Deng Lingxuan to his residence.

I need to get inside quickly, otherwise the wind will pick up and I'll have to spend more time on my skincare routine today.

"Why are you being so polite with me, Master Ye! My uncle said he didn't want people to think he was a nepotism hire, so he deliberately didn't say anything. He'll come and say hello once he's settled in."

"What does it matter? As long as you pass the audition, there's no problem." Ye Sanqing thought that he didn't seem to remember this when he looked at the list. After thinking about it, he realized that it was probably because there had been a small number of personnel changes before, and Ji Wan had filled in.

"My uncle had just finished filming a short drama and was originally scheduled to work on another production. Then, Director Ye said there were people who needed to be replaced, and when he heard it was a martial arts drama, he was extremely enthusiastic!"

Deng Lingxuan said excitedly, "Then, since you were already here, it was just a video audition, and he passed it. I'm so happy for him!"

"That's good. What role does he play?"

"It seems to be the leader of some faction... What faction could possibly be the leader of my uncle?"

Ye Sanqing inexplicably imagined what Ji Wandang would be like as the sect leader. "There's a sect leader who's usually called the Grand Master, he might just be him."

The leading actors of the eight major sects may not all be popular, and there are no special requirements in terms of appearance, but their acting skills must be absolutely up to par.

There's a sect whose profession is canal transport, and Ye Sanqing thought it was quite suitable for Ji Wan's rough and tough style.

However, the leap from a short drama actor to such a significant role is quite large, and hopefully he can prove his acting skills this time.

"I only glanced at it and didn't remember it. I'll ask him later."

Just then, Sheng Hanyu passed by and saw Deng Lingxuan. He smiled and said, "You're here too?"

Deng Lingxuan greeted him very politely, "Hello, Teacher Sheng."

"You're being too polite, Xiao Deng." Sheng Hanyu smiled. When Sheng Luoxin was nearby, he felt a little strange being called Teacher Sheng.

Ye Sanqing was about to ask Deng Lingxuan about the movie, as she had been talking about Ji Wan, when Deng Lingxuan continued, "My movie just finished reshooting after the New Year, so it's considered wrapped up. The company's idea is for me to go for training first, and then they'll arrange filming."

This decision is still somewhat risky. Although Deng Lingxuan is young, an actress's youth is fleeting.
