Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder Suddenly Made a Comeback!

Chapter 87: Chapter 87 Temporary Replacement

Luckily, at that time, Jiang Li had already taken her pot of stinky seafood to the kitchen, and she hadn’t noticed.

But all this still didn’t escape the high-definition camera.

[??? Princess Wen, can we tone down the pride a little?]

[Hahahaha, looking at it this way, Wen Jiaojiao is quite cute.]

[So, has Princess Wen’s missing IQ all gone to boost her pride stats?]

[No way, she’s starting to clean up already? In everyday life, who could put up with Wen Jiaojiao’s personality?]

Ten minutes later, Jiang Li came out.

Qi Tianyu instantly turned on his watchdog persona.

“Damn, what is so fragrant?”

Everyone turned their heads and discovered that the scent was all coming from the pot of spicy stir-fried seafood Jiang Li was holding.

As soon as the seafood was placed on the table, everyone gasped in surprise.

Was this really the same pot of stinky, fishy seafood from before?

“I used some spices to neutralize the odor, but it might taste a bit strong, so anyone who can’t handle spice should pass.”

Director Sun by the monitor spat a mouthful of old blood on the screen.

They were actually eating seafood???

Then all his previous efforts were wasted?

At this rate, wouldn’t the show completely turn into a slice-of-life variety show?

Jiang Li really was a devil!

Why did the head office send such a person to transform?

“Quick, quick, quick,” Director Sun said as he quickly stopped the assistant, “Notify the planner to increase the intensity of this afternoon’s task. We absolutely can’t let these people have such an easy time.”

Assistant: “……”

Heartache for them for a second.

–

In the small courtyard.

Qi Tianyu had already picked up a large shrimp and put it in his mouth.

The moment he chewed, his pupils dilated.

“Damn, this is so fragrant, I could go for two more bowls of rice with this seafood.”

He Yun normally couldn’t eat spicy food, but he couldn’t resist trying a bite out of curiosity.

The taste was indeed rich, completely free of any fishy smell.

[!!! Everyone, take note, Mr. He is actually eating spicy food!]

[He Bao, since when can you eat spicy food?????]

[It’s true love for the mismatched couple, sob sob sob.]

Even Wen Jiaojiao couldn’t resist and quietly picked up a piece of scallop.

The moment she ate it, the deliciousness nearly made her eyebrows twitch.

However, before she could swallow, Jiang Li suddenly said something.

“Forgot to mention, like Jiang Yan, if you eat and drink for free, you’ll have to work for me this afternoon.”

Wen Jiaojiao: ???????

“Damn, Jiang Li, you did that on purpose, right?!”

Jiang Li looked at her, her eyelashes slowly fluttered once, “You can choose not to eat.”

Wen Jiaojiao was silent.

If she had been told at the beginning, she might have turned around and walked away.

But having just tasted such a delicious scallop, not yet swallowed, if she were to leave now, she feared she would go mad with cravings.

Working is just working, the worst part is just looking for an opportunity to push it all off to Jiang Yan in the afternoon.

Anyway, she had to finish this meal no matter what!

With that thought, Wen Jiaojiao picked up her chopsticks again and heaped another big bowl of rice for herself.

[I really can’t stop laughing, it’s the first time I’ve seen Princess Wen eating humble pie like this.]

[Sister Li truly lives up to her name, precisely striking every time.]

[Jiang Li: Specializes in dealing with disobedient and rebellious people.]

[Help, I feel like Jiang Li is really good at training people, can he come to my house and discipline my brother? I’m driven crazy by him every day.]

[+1 from above! My 8-year-old little brother is so terribly naughty too!]

The dishes on the table were quickly finished.

Jiang Li even specifically left a portion for Uncle Zhao and his son.

Full and satisfied, everyone gradually said goodbye to Jiang Li and went back to their places to rest.

The noisy courtyard gradually returned to peace.

The sound of cicadas rose, the sunlight shifted, and the shadows of the trees were mottled and separated.

The small mountain village on a summer afternoon was especially serene and beautiful, causing the audience in front of the screens to involuntarily start taking a nap too.

At the same time, there was some unrest at a film and television base.

Just off the set, Bai Lu hadn’t even had time to take off her costume when her manager hurriedly called her to the office next door.

Upon seeing her, the manager coldly placed a stack of documents on the table.

“Sign this.”

Bai Lu, who was usually intimidated by this fierce manager, still asked quietly while gritting her teeth, “What is this?”

The manager glanced at her with some impatience, “Can’t you read it yourself? But I advise you to just turn to the last page and sign, to save each other’s time.”

He really had bad luck; in ten years of his career, he had finally encountered an opportunity for advancement, only to end up getting stuck with such a minor celebrity in a twist of fate.

Not being famous after five years in the industry was one thing, but being so timid and dull, she couldn’t become famous even in eighty years!

Bai Lu bit her lip again and slowly moved to the front of the table to pick up the contract.

After flipping through two pages, her face instantly turned pale, and her body couldn’t stop shaking.

“Why, why…” Bai Lu’s grip on the paper tightened, “Why do I have to sign a release agreement?”

The manager glanced at her, filled with annoyance.

Look, even in this situation, she doesn’t dare to lose her temper. How on earth has she survived in this entertainment industry until now?

Thinking of what the boss had said before he came, the manager still softened his expression slightly and said:

“It was sudden, this is the company’s decision.”

“‘Shining Transformation Trip’ suddenly became a hit, the whole company is taking it seriously, and you know your current status and level, right? Even though it’s just a guest appearance contract you signed, if you mess up on the show by accident, it can have a huge impact. Your current drama hasn’t been released yet, and if it gets negative reviews, it will impact future opportunities.”

“So the leadership decided to switch to someone else and asked me to come over and persuade you to sign this termination agreement.”

“But don’t worry, the company has secured another advertising deal for you, and the payment is very substantial, so don’t miss out on something bigger for something small.”

Bai Lu lowered her head, her knuckles turning whiter.

She knew all too well that these were just excuses her manager had come up with to get her to sign the agreement.

Originally, she received the invitation to be a guest on this variety show because no one around her had high hopes for it, thinking it wouldn’t make a splash.

Also, live broadcasts test one’s reflexes, and even the most experienced actors can’t guarantee they’ll maintain their persona perfectly.

Thus, the contract had fallen into the hands of someone insignificant like her.

But she didn’t think it was a hot potato.

She had spent three whole days researching and had prepared meticulously.

Even with tight shooting schedules, she still made time to follow the live broadcasts.

When Flash Change became a hit, she was happier than anyone else, feeling that after so many years, she finally had something to look forward to.

But she hadn’t even been happy for long when reality gave her a cold shower.
