176: Chapter 177 Great Wisdom—I'm Really Amazing

Jiang Jing was quite calm regarding the director's enthusiasm. He smiled and shook his hand: "Director Zhang, you're too kind. We're just looking around, accompanying Leng Ba, so we won't disrupt your filming, will we?"

"Not at all! Not at all! Absolutely not!" Director Zhang shook his head like a rattle-drum. "Mr. Jiang, you're too polite. Please, feel free to look around!"

He knew very well that this person was the real tycoon who had acquired Qianda Film!

The godfather of domestic theater scheduling!

If he could build some rapport, would he ever have to worry about scheduling for his films in the future?

How could he not be enthusiastic!

"I wonder if Mr. Jiang has any plans for the evening? If not..." The director seemed unwilling to give up and wanted to try again.

Facing the director's overly enthusiastic invitation to dinner, Jiang Jing simply smiled and waved his hand. His tone was casual yet brooked no argument:

"I appreciate the kind offer, Director Zhang, but dinner won't be necessary. We're just here to accompany Leng Ba for a stroll, and incidentally experience the fun of filming in Hengdian to relax a bit."

A flash of obvious disappointment crossed Director Zhang's face, but he quickly realized—he had indeed been a bit abrupt. Given Jiang Jing's status and position, how could he casually agree to a dinner invitation from a director he didn't know?

Being able to speak a few words with him was already giving him face.

However, his brain turned quickly, and he immediately grasped the keyword in Jiang Jing's words—"experience the fun of filming"!

His eyes lit up, as if he had found a new breakthrough point, and his smile became even more ardent: "Experience filming? Oh! Mr. Jiang, you've come to the right place! Our crew has everything!"

He began to introduce things like they were his own treasures: "Look, we have ready-made period costumes, all kinds of them—princes, generals, martial artists, scholars—take your pick!"

"The prop weapons are also meticulously crafted, with top-tier handling! And there's the wire-work equipment over there; the feeling of being hoisted up to leap over walls—that's a thrill you can't experience anywhere else!"

"If you're interested, I'll arrange it right away!"

When Jiang Jing heard this, he thought the suggestion was quite good.

Either way, it was just an experience; it was the same wherever he did it, and this was close by and more convenient.

He nodded and readily agreed: "Alright, then I'll trouble Director Zhang to arrange it so I can satisfy my itch to act."

"No trouble at all! No trouble at all! This little thing is nothing!" As soon as Director Zhang heard Jiang Jing agree, he was overjoyed, as if he had received some incredible assignment.

He immediately turned around and hurriedly handed over the command of the filming site to the assistant director, repeatedly urging him to keep an eye on things.

Then, he personally acted as a guide, trotting along as he led Jiang Jing and the few beauties toward the costume room and prop warehouse.

Leng Ba lagged behind, watching the director's overly obsequious manner. She couldn't help but curl her lip and whisper: "Sycophant..." But she still hurried to follow.

Once they left, the crew exploded into chaos!

All the actors, extras, and staff members who didn't have scenes at the moment followed the group's backs with their eyes, whispering and discussing among themselves.

"Holy crap, Director Zhang's attitude today is insane! I've been filming with him for three months and haven't seen him smile this brightly!"

"Who on earth is that guy? He has so much pull? To make Director Zhang personally accompany him to experience things?"

"He's definitely not an ordinary person! Didn't you see big stars like Mimi, Nazha, and Tong Liya all revolving around him?"

"Brought by Leng Ba... could it be Leng Ba's...?"

Just as everyone was speculating endlessly, an extra in the crowd who usually liked to show off that he was "knowledgeable" and "in the know" suddenly slapped his thigh and jumped out, his face wearing a smug expression that said, "I have seen through everything."

"Everyone! Listen to me analyze this for you!" He cleared his throat and began his "meticulous" deduction show:

"First, anyone who can make Director Zhang so servile is definitely not just a rich person; they must be a capital tycoon!"

"Second, being accompanied by A-list actresses like Mimi, Nazha, and Tong Liya, and even being brought by Leng Ba herself, shows that their relationship is not simple. It's highly likely he is their shared... ahem, you know what I mean!"

"Third, what's the biggest capital news in the entertainment industry recently? Xingchen Technology! Qianda Film! And I heard the new boss of both companies is named Jiang! Young! Super rich!"

"Fourth, combined with the top-tier endorsement Leng Ba just secured from Xingchen Technology... isn't the answer obvious?"

His long-winded speech was analyzed quite logically. Although it was interspersed with plenty of speculation about "sugar daddies" and "kept women" that made people roll their eyes, his final conclusion was spot on!

Just then, another young man who had been burying his head in his phone suddenly looked up and shouted excitedly:

"That's right! There are photos of him online. Although they are blurry, the silhouette matches. That man is the boss of Xingchen Technology, the one who acquired Qianda Film—Jiang Jing!!"

"Boom—"

This sound was like a thunderclap, instantly exploding among the crowd!

Everyone was stunned at first, and then expressions of sudden realization appeared on their faces one after another!

"Right, right, right! It's him! I was wondering why he looked so familiar!"

"Mr. Jiang from Xingchen Technology! The new boss of Qianda Film! Oh my god! He really is a super tycoon!"

"No wonder Director Zhang was like that... If one could get on his good side, would they ever have to worry about not having roles to play in the future?"

"Leng Ba's luck... is truly heaven-defying! She's directly latched onto the strongest sugar daddy!"

For a moment, the entire crew was filled with a mix of shock, envy, and jealousy.

When everyone looked again in the direction where Jiang Jing and his group had left, their gazes had completely changed, filled with awe and desire.

Fantasizing about whether they would soar to greatness if they were favored by Jiang Jing...

That "Big Smarty" extra who had analyzed it first was even more smug now, as if all of this was the credit of his deduction.

Although the process was a bit bizarre, as long as the result was right, that was all that mattered.
