Chapter 584: Could the Ji Family Have a Genius Comparable to Miss si? (2)
“Director Tang, the collaboration with Miss Si is truly a pleasure,” the sound editor exclaimed. “Her original sound is the best I’ve ever encountered.”
Tang Haiqiu had grown numb to the efficiency, “We’re almost done with the
‘Demon’s Cave’ scenes. Let’s prepare the next set of costumes and get the next group of actors ready.”
The shoot, initially slated for four months, looked set to wrap up in just over two.
Director Tang had never experienced such a smooth production.
After wrapping up today’s filming, he gave Si Fuqing three days off.
Yuejian picked her up in the nanny van.
Si Fuqing hopped into the van, taking a call with one hand.
“Big brother, great news,” JI Xingzhi was excited. “I’ve got your gaming pod ready, along with the matching gaming helmet. It’ll be shipped soon.”
“You’ll probably be too busy with filming to use the pod, so I’ll send the helmet to you first. ”
“That fast?” Si Fuqing was surprised. “Alright, send the gaming pod to my place and install it.”
“No problem,” JI Xingzhi assured, eager. “Big brother, you promised to bring me along when you log into the game.”
After the call, Yuejian asked, “What’s up?”
“Just going to check out ‘Eternity.’ I haven’t logged in for a while,” Si Fuqing said casually.
Yuejian nodded. “By the way, what’s your ID in ‘Eternity’? With all the records you’ve broken at Eternity Academy, your account must be at least six stars.”
“Third senior sister, that’s against the rules,” Si Fuqing raised an eyebrow. “Sect rules forbid disclosing any information unless one has the means to discover it themselves. ”
“Alright, alright,” Yuejian gave in. “With your skills, I wouldn’t know unless you told me.”
Si Fuqing encouraged her, “I believe in your abilities, third senior sister.” Her gaze lowered, hiding deeper thoughts.
There were things she couldn’t share with Yuejian, not wanting to put those around her in danger.
Yuejian didn’t press further, focusing on driving. “Where to?”
“Let’s go to my auntie’s restaurant,” Si Fuqing suggested, snapping her fingers. “I’ve also invited the boss. We can have a reunion meal together.”
Yuejian was lost for words.
A reunion meal like this?
Si Fuqing logged into ‘Oracle’ on her computer, taking advantage of the downtime.
She noticed the icon of the white-robed bard was still gray.
Maybe the sneak attacker would never log in again?
Such a big man, yet so cowardly.
Suddenly, a message popped up.
[000]: There’s an offline anniversary event in the Great Xia region. Are you coming? I’m flying to the Great Xia Empire.
Si Fuqing replied thoughtfully.
[009]: Shooting in the desert, no time.
[000]: … You’re really dedicated to your acting.
Shortly after, Ji Yun sent another message.
[000]: Right, the international joint exams start early October. I might have to grade papers, thankfully you took over some of the question setting. I’m counting on you next year too.
[009]: Get lost. I’m taking the exam next year, how can I set questions? Isn’t that cheating?
[000]:
At Oracle headquarters, Ji Yun fell silent at that response.
A question setter taking the exam? That would be an unfair advantage, almost like cheating.
He spared a moment of silence for next year’s candidates.
The secretary entered quietly, “President Ji.”
Ji Yun snapped back to reality, “Speak.”
“The Ji family in Sijiu city heard about your trip to the Great Xia region for the anniversary event,” the secretary informed. “Old Master Ji was wondering if you had time for a family dinner.”
“We’re not that close, ” Ji Yun replied coldly. “I’m not interested in pretending we are. I’m busy.”
The secretary understood.
Not just the Ji family from Sijiu city, but even the Yu family, considered lower-tier in Free State, wouldn’t make the cut to meet Ji Yun’s standards. Having known a prodigy who ranked top three in the international joint exams at seven and Miss Si, a rare talent, what could the Ji family offer to compare?
The secretary politely declined the Ji family’s invitation.
Old Master Ji, aware there was no chance, had to let it go. “Dad, what did President Ji say?” Ji Longtai asked eagerly. “Will he come?”
Old Master Ji waved a hand, “As expected, we were refused..”
