Chapter 271 The Overbearing General Forcibly Takes the Empress Dowager?

"Xiao Bai, don't rush off! Tonight, the entire crew will throw you a wrap party!"

"The wrap party will be held at the most famous hotel in Kyoto, the Imperial Kitchen."

"Australian lobster, top-quality matsutake mushrooms, and your favorite braised pork belly—all you can eat!"

"And those CEOs from the investors just called me, saying they absolutely have to toast you."

Yu Zheng smiled so hard that the wrinkles on his face almost formed a bright chrysanthemum. His shrewd eyes were filled with the fervor of someone who had "found a treasure," and he held Jiang Bai's hand tightly.

Holding a separate wrap party for Jiang Bai was not only to bid him farewell, but also to secure more investment!

These investors, upon seeing Jiang Bai, automatically started sending money.

Maybe he'll get lucky and secure funding for his next few TV series!

However, Jiang Bai was extremely anxious at this moment and had no intention of attending the wrap party.

"Tongzi, quick, find me the fastest route back to the hotel!"

"I still need to transform back into Jiang Bai to record 'The Masked Singer' tonight. If this big career gets delayed, I'll really be stuck living the rest of my life!"

Jiang Bai outwardly maintained that beautiful, aloof goddess demeanor.

He nodded slightly and politely declined.

"Director Yu, I'm so sorry."

"I have something to do tonight, I have to attend a program, so I won't be going to the wrap party."

Upon hearing the mention of "participating in the program," Yu Zheng immediately understood and subconsciously released his grip.

"It's alright, career is important, career is important."

Yu Zheng looked regretful, but then, as if remembering something, he took out a heavy red envelope from his pocket and mysteriously stuffed it into Jiang Bai's hand.

"Take this! It's just a small token of my appreciation."

"Xiao Bai, you've been acting very well lately. When the show airs, please promote it on Weibo."

Jiang Bai looked down and saw that the thickness was at least twenty or thirty thousand.

His heart, which was "as greedy as life itself", pounded wildly for a moment, and with extremely elegant yet swift movements, he slipped the red envelope into the wide sleeve of his Hanfu.

"Oh, there's a wrap-up gift? I really like this gift."

"Publicity? No problem, our 'Beauty's Rival in Palace' is sure to be a ratings hit!"

After thanking Yu Zheng, Jiang Bai returned to the lounge to change back into his everyday clothes.

When I came out, I found many crew members standing outside.

Jiang Bai smiled and nodded slightly:

"Gentlemen, farewell."

Throughout the journey, the staff members looked on with obvious reluctance to part.

"Teacher Bai Zhi, are you really leaving?"

"Goddess Bai Zhi, without you, I have no motivation to adjust the lighting, sob sob..."

"Teacher Bai Zhi, with you gone, the energy in our studio will drop by at least half!"

Especially Old Zhang, the logistics guy in charge of distributing the boxed meals, had red eyes, clutched a thermos tightly in his hand, and his voice was trembling:

"Teacher Bai Zhi, I... I heard you finished filming today, so I specially asked the kitchen to prepare eight extra chicken drumsticks and four servings of braised pork, all in this box. You... you can take it with you on your way!"

Jiang Bai looked at the enormous box of lunches, and his eyes actually welled up with tears.

Old Zhang, you really understand me!

If I didn't have to catch a flight, I would have finished this whole box right in front of you!

But now she's a goddess, so she needs to stay composed.

"Master Zhang, I appreciate your kindness, I'll eat the boxed lunch!"

"If fate allows... see you in Shanghai!"

Jiang Bai grinned, his smile appearing holy and otherworldly in the morning light.

"Thank you everyone, see you again sometime! I'll eat the boxed lunch!"

After saying that, Jiang Bai picked up the lunchbox and walked towards the main gate.

however.

Before he could even step out of the studio, a black, imposing "iron tower" blocked his way.

It is He Shengming.

This "Han Dynasty general" was still in his costume, and his black iron armor was covered in dust.

He stared intently at Jiang Bai, his lips pressed tightly together, his eyes flashing with a resolute determination akin to burning one's boats.

He Shengming knew that once Jiang Baizhi stepped out of this shed today, he might never see her again in his life!

Therefore, some things must be done as soon as possible!

Jiang Bai's heart skipped a beat when he saw He Shengming's appearance.

"Holy crap, this guy's eyes are weird, looks like he's about to cause trouble!"

Jiang Bai felt a chill run down his spine; his 12 stamina points instantly tightened.

With a quick turn of his toes, he was about to execute a graceful "Z" maneuver to get around the human-shaped obstacle.

pity.

At this moment, He Shengming seemed to have activated some kind of "wife-finding radar".

He took a step to the side, precisely blocking all of Jiang Bai's paths. His hands were slightly outstretched, and his voice was as hoarse as sandpaper that had been polished for three days in the Gobi Desert:

"Teacher Jiang Baizhi...please wait a moment, I...I have something I want to tell you."

He Shengming's voice was hoarse, carrying a sense of resolute determination.

He stared at Jiang Bai, his heart pounding so hard it felt like it was going to shatter the armor on his chest.

These past few days have been a living hell for him.

During the day, he was so immersed in his role that he wanted to give Zhang Yan a sense of security; at night, back in the hotel, looking at Jiang Baizhi's photo, he wanted to give her a future.

"Teacher Jiang Baizhi, I know... what I'm about to say might be abrupt."

He Shengming took a deep breath, even lowering his head somewhat shyly, but quickly raised it again, his eyes burning with passion:

"After spending these past few days together, I've realized... I've completely fallen in love with you."

"I wanted to ask, can I be your boyfriend?"

I've fallen in love with you...

Be your boyfriend...

Sure enough, this person is up to something!

Jiang Bai roared inwardly:

"System! Quick! Exchange for a 'Vaporize' skill for me!"

"He's thinking of confessing his feelings to me!"

"I'm a real man! I can't let some scruffy-bearded old man physically exorcise me here!!"

[Ding! Host, please acknowledge your charm. Due to that brief moment of lucidity, He Shengming's sanity has been completely depleted. Current favorability: 150% (Entering a state of frenzy). Friendly reminder: If you reject him too bluntly now, this system is worried that this general might stage a legal news story of "The Domineering General Forcibly Taking the Empress Dowager" right outside the film studio.]

The words fell.

Jiang Bai stood frozen in place, too frightened to move, his hands trembling slightly.

He looked at He Shengming's old face, which was filled with the words "unwavering until death," and then at the crew members around him who were craning their necks, their faces full of anticipation for the "real-life finale."

It's not that I'm afraid He Shengming will steal her away, it's that I'm afraid of losing face and being humiliated!
