“Because I love the storyline of <Nameless Orphan> and I am confident in my ability to play this role perfectly. I will use my acting skills and ability to prove to you that war dramas do not necessarily need to target the older audience. You do not have to be afraid of using a younger actress because the audience from the younger generation can be equally awed with historical and war dramas. Therefore, you need to have a little more faith in the younger generation.”
Director Mong thought for a short while before he agreed with what Jiang Yuning had just said.
“Alright then. You can leave now. Go home and wait for us to give you an audition notice when it is time. I will give you an opportunity to audition with the other actresses, but I cannot guarantee that you will be given the role in the end.” After that, Director Mong turned around and walked towards his work desk as his personal assistant followed behind him excitedly.
“Director Mong, Jiang Yuning can act! She can act!”
“I will have to audition the other actresses who are interested first,” Director Mong replied as he was unable to make his decision immediately.
Jiang Yuning was not able to obtain any insider news. Otherwise, she would have known that <Nameless Orphan> would definitely be a big hit in the drama and gain the actress starring in it much fame and reputation. This was because <Nameless Orphan> was one of the major productions supported by the country and Director Mong had kept it a secret so far as he did not want anyone to audition just to gain fame.
Jiang Yuning’s performance earlier really took him by surprise and gave him a change of opinion. However, he needed to conduct further investigation into Jiang Yuning’s background.
In fact, nobody in the entertainment industry knew that <Nameless Orphan> was a drama that was in preparation to be aired on national television.
Then, Jiang Yuning was really just a lucky girl.
Jiang Yuning and Vera did not think much about it and after coming out from Director Mong’s house, they headed back to the villa so that Jiang Yuning could change into a more casual dress. After changing, the both of them then headed to their next destination for the day, which was the music composer’s house.
Though currently retired, the music composer was once famous for writing many well-known songs when she was still active in the industry.
Jiang Yuning explained to the music composer her intentions to write a love song for her first love. After listening to the former’s explanation, the music composer agreed to help her.
Jiang Yuning planned to train hard and to only sing the song to Lu Jingzhi once she had finished writing and producing the song.
…
The second episode of <Desert Island Rescue> would begin filming in a few more days.
Therefore, the production team had released a pilot trailer of the first episode of <Desert Island Rescue> on the internet. The pilot trailer consisted mostly of interviews of the guests and also some preliminary preparations that they had done before the shoot, but it also included some snippets from the first episode that was already filmed.
The production team was smart enough to buy a hot search for the forty-second preview trailer that they had released on the internet so that they could gather more views, advertise the show, and pique the interest of netizens through the introductory trailer.

The editing team who had prepared the trailer were also very remarkable at their job. They had specifically included the part where Jiang Yuning’s group had chosen to take the most dangerous route in the middle of the night, as well as the section where Jin Mingchen was screaming out his lungs in the jungle because he thought that there were ghosts around him.
It was obviously a very serious survival show, but anyone watching the trailer would feel as though they were watching a horror movie.
The trailer made it seem as though the variety show was focused on horror and comedy instead of survival skills.
However, after watching the trailer, the netizens could not help but wonder why Jiang Yuning’s group had insisted on choosing the most dangerous route even though it was already late at night.
[I feel that Jiang Yuning is a bit too wilful.]
[Jiang Yuning was actually pretty impressive when she appeared in <Hilarious Artistes> dressed in the robot suit. However, she is going on a survival variety program this time. I don’t know if she really has what it takes to survive on the show.]
[I don’t think that Jiang Yuning would be able to outwit any of the experts with anything that she does or whatever little survival skills that she has. It hurts to be smacked right on the face.]
[That young sister Xu Beishen looks really cool and amazing. It feels as though she has the ability to save the entire planet!]
The production team could not help but laugh when they saw all the comments posted by the netizens in reply to the trailer that they had just released.
How much misunderstandings did they have about Jiang Yuning?
The netizens would definitely feel a smack in their faces after they watched the first episode of <Desert Island Rescue>.
As the production team thought about this, they could not help but feel extremely excited. They were really looking forward to the first episode of <Desert Island Rescue>, which would be aired in one week’s time.
Jiang Yuning was the one who was being ridiculed online. So, why did the production team all hope that the netizens would feel a smack in their faces?
This was mainly because Jiang Yuning was really hilarious and she had an amazing personality.
The production team could not help but to wonder what sort of tricks Jiang Yuning would have up her sleeves during the recording of the second episode tomorrow.
…
As for Xu Beishen, the production team had also heard about the rumors that Xu Beishen had spread on the internet to harm Jiang Yuning.
Initially, the production team met to discuss the ways that they could use to get rid of Xu Beishen and kick her out of the show. This was because she was supposed to be an expert leader in the show. Yet, not only had she ignored her role as a leader, but she had also disregarded the safety of her own group members, the cameraman, and the production crew who were on her team due to her insistence on searching for and collecting plant specimens for her own selfish needs while filming a variety show at that time. Therefore, if the production team had really wanted to remove her from the program, they could have done so easily because she had endangered the lives of others through her selfish acts. However, as soon as Jiang Yuning heard of the production team’s plan to kick Xu Beishen out of the program, she quickly contacted the director and asked him not to kick Xu Beishen out.
The production team did not reveal any further information but briefly mentioned the possibility of some changes to the composition of the groups during the next episode. Jiang Yuning had even suggested that the production team place her and Xu Beishen in the same group during the next episode.
After listening to Jiang Yuning’s suggestion…
Hmm….
This meant that the production team were actually considering the possibility of grouping both of them together. However, the director also felt that he could only dare to make this decision because he was still young and willing to accept the challenge.
Both of them also had very strong and competitive characters. If the production team were to place both of them in the same group, wouldn’t it be a huge headache to the production team?
Would Jiang Yuning dare to do that?
Jiang Yuning was not afraid of anything. She simply wanted Xu Beishen to admit defeat completely.
Didn’t Xu Beishen say that she wanted to challenge Jiang Yuning face to face in a fair manner? How could Jiang Yuning let go of such an amazing opportunity to teach Xu Beishen a lesson and show her what she was capable of?
However, the production team eventually decided that placing both of them in the same group would definitely be a huge boost to the rating of the show. With these two people present and in conflict with one another, the production team could already imagine the amount of views and ratings that could be garnered from the two of them.
Therefore, the production team decided to close one eye and let them take the variety show to the next level instead…
The two fairies could fight it out for all they cared. All they needed to do was sit back and watch the show.
…
It was already nine o’clock at night.
Jiang Yuning was lying in bed as she watched the trailer of <Desert Island Rescue> and she could not stop herself from babbling out of excitement.
Although parts of the trailer had made fun of her, she did not care about whatever the netizens thought about her because she knew that their views of her would change as soon as they watched the episode when it was broadcasted.
She had already done whatever she could and she had already shown everyone her true personality. She would not be able to control whatever people wanted to think of her or judge her for.
After a short while, Lu Jingzhi returned to the bedroom with dripping wet hair as he had just taken a shower.
As soon as Lu Jingzhi stepped into the room, Jiang Yuning immediately put away the laptop that she was holding onto before she got up and knelt down behind Lu Jingzhi as she started drying his hair for him.
“Second brother…I will be going back to film the second episode of <Desert Island Rescue> in two days’ time…”
“Oh, do you not have any chance to prepare for anything this time?” Lu Jingzhi asked as he chuckled.
“The production team is very secretive and they have not revealed anything to us this time because they do not want any of us to be prepared for what they have in store for us,” Jiang Yuning replied. “Second brother, I have also taken the initiative to ask the production team to place Xu Beishen in the same group as me this time. I want her to see for herself why you had fallen so deeply in love with someone like me.”
After listening to Jiang Yuning’s words, Lu Jingzhi turned around and hugged her tightly in his arms before he replied, “If she tries to hurt you again, I will not let her off so easily this time.”
When Jiang Yuning saw that Lu Jingzhi’s pyjamas was half unbuttoned, she could not help but reach out and took her cell phone before she pulled up the camera function on her cell phone. “Second brother, let me record another video?”
She already had video recordings of Lu Jingzhi dressed in a suit, jersey, and also a casual jacket in her cell phone, but she did not have any video recordings of Lu Jingzhi in his pyjamas.
“No recording!” Lu Jingzhi answered without any hesitation at all. He let go of her before he stood up and continued drying his hair.
“Such a petty man! Why can’t I record you?”
“Unless…” Lu Jingzhi grabbed the cell phone from Jiang Yuning’s hand and turned on the video recording function before he sat down and hugged Jiang Yuning. He then started recording a video of them kissing as he had his arms around her waist. “I only like it when you record us like this.”
Jiang Yuning could not control her nose bleed anymore!
Oh my!
