Chapter 126 One Hundred Thousand a Month

"Wolong, do you have time during summer vacation?"

Seeing Liu Yifei's embarrassed expression, Ji Qingxu had a few thoughts flash through his mind. "There's nothing to do in July. Just tell me if you need anything."

After a moment's hesitation, Liu Yifei said shyly, "Could you do me a favor and train me in martial arts moves?"

Upon hearing this suggestion, Ji Qingxu raised an eyebrow slightly. "Because of the role of Little Dragon Girl?"

Liu Yifei nodded her head and immediately replied, "Yes, Director Zhang said that Xiaolongnu has a lot of action scenes, so he asked me to start martial arts training as soon as I finish my final exams."

Upon hearing this, Ji Qingxu asked in confusion, "Didn't the production team assign you a martial arts training instructor?"

"Um... Director Zhang said you have excellent kung fu skills, and since we're classmates, he told me to ask you first."

Upon hearing this, Ji Qingxu instantly understood and couldn't help but chuckle. This Zhang Jizong was far too stingy.

Seeing the smile on Ji Qingxu's face, Liu Yifei quickly said, "Wolong, I won't let you help for nothing. My mother said she will pay you."

Ji Qingxu joked, "My fees are very high, are you sure?"

Liu Yifei asked cautiously, "Is 10 a month enough?"

Upon hearing this number, Ji Qingxu raised an eyebrow slightly. "10 a month?"

"Yes, if you think it's not enough, I'll talk to my mom about it when I get back."

Ji Qingxu smiled and waved his hand, "No need, 100,000 it is, I agree."

"Really? You said yes?"

Seeing Liu Yifei's delighted expression, Ji Qingxu smiled and nodded, "Yes, but I want to make it clear beforehand that I have very strict requirements, so don't cry later."

Liu Yifei's face flushed instantly. "Who, who's crying? Don't underestimate me, I can endure a lot of hardship."

"Fine, you said it yourself. Even if you cry, I won't show any mercy."

Hearing this, Liu Yifei frowned. Thinking of Ji Qingxu's strict demands during the recent play rehearsals, Liu Yifei timidly asked, "Wolong, you're not deliberately torturing me, are you?"

Ji Qingxu laughed loudly, "It's not too late for you to regret it now."

Hearing Ji Qingxu's laughter, Liu Yifei secretly breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that Ji Qingxu was joking with her. She couldn't help but chide him, "Wolong, you're just trying to scare me."

"Hehe, you'll find out then. By the way, where is the training ground?"

"Mom rented a training room for me. When do you have time to go and take a look?"

"Hmm...okay, but let's finish the final exams first."

"Okay, then it's settled?"

"Okay, it's settled."

"Then give me a bank card number, and I'll have my mom transfer the money to you."

"No rush, let's talk about it after the exam."

"Alright, let's talk about it after the exam. By the way, Wolong, could you please keep this news from everyone else?"

"No problem, but won't you give me some extra hush money?"

"How much do you need? I'll have my mom transfer it to you."

"Haha, just treat me to a big meal."

Hearing this, Liu Yifei knew that Ji Qingxu was teasing her again, and puffed out her cheeks and said angrily, "You stinky Wolong, you just bully me."

Ji Qingxu smiled and waved his hand, "It's getting late, go back and rest early, we'll talk after the final exams."

""

"Okay, you should get some rest too. I'm going back now."

"Um.

""

Watching Liu Yifei skip and hop towards the dormitory, Ji Qingxu also smiled and turned to walk towards the dormitory.

Wow, this is quite an unexpected windfall. 10 a month! Senior Brother Kou Zhanwen will definitely be very envious when he hears this news. Although the price is high, it's not too outrageous considering Ji Qingxu's current reputation.

However, when he thought of Zhang Jizong's instruction to Liu Yifei to come find him, Ji Qingxu couldn't help but shake his head. This Zhang Jizong was too greedy. He even tried to save money on martial arts training. His behavior was rather unseemly.

Thinking of this, Ji Qingxu looked somewhat puzzled. He took out his phone, found Kou Zhanwen's number, paused, and then put the phone back in his pocket. No rush, he would contact his senior brother after the final exams.

As soon as Liu Yifei returned to her dormitory, Jiang Yiyan came over.

"Sisi, what do you want with Ji Qingxu?"

"It's nothing. I just wanted to ask him about action scenes. He's filmed several action movies, so he's very experienced in that area. I just wanted to ask him about it."

"I heard he's very skilled in martial arts; you could learn a few moves from him."

Liu Yifei said uncertainly, "He has his own things to do, and I don't want to bother him. We'll see when the time comes."

.

After carefully observing Liu Yifei's expression, Jiang Yiyan asked, "Do you think Ji Qingxu will be chosen to play the role of Yang Guo?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Yifei exclaimed in surprise, "He's playing Yang Guo?"

"Yeah, didn't Zhu Yawen and the others say he also auditioned for Yang Guo? Do you have any information about that?"

Liu Yifei shook her head. "I don't know. Should we ask him tomorrow?"

"Um, that works too."

"I'm going to take a shower now, I have to get up early for class tomorrow."

"it is good."

Watching Liu Yifei pick up her toiletries and walk into the bathroom, a hint of jealousy flashed in Jiang Yiyan's eyes. This girl is so lucky to be able to play the role of Little Dragon Girl.

Thinking of the news she had read in the newspaper that day, Jiang Yiyan bit her lip tightly.

After closing the bathroom door, Liu Yifei glanced outside, thought about the question Jiang Yiyan had asked earlier, and after reviewing it in her mind, she made sure she hadn't given anything away and breathed a sigh of relief.

However, thinking of what Jiang Yiyan had just mentioned about Ji Qingxu playing the role of Yang Guo, Liu Yifei blinked. Hmm, I forgot to ask when I was chatting with Wolong earlier. If Wolong could play the role of Yang Guo, then I would have company on set.

Ji Qingxu hadn't revealed his audition results, and Director Zhang Jizong hadn't disclosed any information either. Liu Yifei puffed out her cheeks and turned on the tap, hoping that Wolong would pass the audition.

With the casting of Xiaolongnu in "The Return of the Condor Heroes" confirmed, the media, reporters, and audiences have become even more interested in the role of Yang Guo, with everyone paying attention to who will be chosen for the part.

However, neither Zhang Jizong nor the production team of "The Return of the Condor Heroes" has given a definite answer to the public.

The outside world can only see from various entertainment newspapers and websites where Zhang Jizong is having dinner with which male actor today, where he meets with which male actor tomorrow, and who will play the role of Yang Guo. When reporters ask Zhang Jizong, they do not get a definite answer.

Before long, it was the end of June, and summer vacation was just around the corner. Ji Qingxu and his classmates were also officially facing their final exams.

"Splash!"

Hearing the enthusiastic applause from below, Ji Qingxu and the other six exchanged smiles, bowed to express their gratitude, and then returned backstage together.

"Oh my god, it's finally over. It wasn't easy."

"It's been so tough, let's have a good meal today."

"Okay, I've been cooped up for so long, let's drink until we drop tonight!"

Liu Yifei quickly said, "Wait, we agreed before that I would treat everyone to dinner. The table has been booked. Let's go there in a bit."

"Haha, alright, let's have a feast featuring our Little Dragon Girl today."

"Let's go, let's go change our clothes."

"We'll meet at the school gate later."

"no problem."

Chao Huang Restaurant.

"Hello, Aunt Liu! ×N"

"Hello, everyone, please sit down, don't be shy."

"it is good."

Seeing her daughter pouting and looking at her with a sullen expression, Liu Xiaoli couldn't help but laugh. This girl...

"Sisi, Mom has friends entertaining her over there. You'll need to make sure everyone eats and drinks well, okay?"

Hearing this, Liu Yifei immediately perked up, "Mom, aren't you eating with us?"

"Do you want your mom to eat with you?"

"Um...hehe, Mom, you go and entertain your friends first, we'll just eat by ourselves."

Liu Xiaoli gave her silly-looking daughter a reproachful look, then turned apologetically to Ji Qingxu and the others, saying, "Classmates, I'm sorry, I have to entertain some friends today. I'll treat you all to dinner another day."

"Aunt Liu, you're too kind. Please go ahead and do your thing. We can handle it ourselves."

"Okay... Sisi, if you need anything, just tell the waiter or call me, I'm nearby."

"Okay, Mom, go quickly, don't keep your friend waiting."

Hearing her daughter's urging, Liu Xiaoli's lips twitched. "You brat, I'll teach you a lesson when we get home."

After glancing around at everyone present, Liu Xiaoli smiled, nodded, and left the private room.

As soon as Liu Xiaoli left, Liu Yifei cheered excitedly, "Let's eat! Let's eat as much as we want today, and if it's not enough, we'll add more!"

After glancing at the decor of the private room and the dishes on the table—various seafood, abalone, and shark fin—Zhu Yawen joked, "Yifei, this place must be expensive, right?"

Liu Yifei blinked and looked around. "Um, I think so. I'm not too sure. It's okay, a meal won't cost much. Everyone, don't be shy. Come on, let's have a drink to celebrate passing our final exams."

"Cheers! ×N"

"Come on, everyone, help yourselves to the food."

Seeing Liu Yifei's warm greeting, Ji Qingxu smiled, picked up a bowl of Buddha Jumps Over the Wall soup, and took a sip.

"Brother Chicken, this meal must cost over ten thousand, right?"

Hearing Zhu Yawen ask him in a low voice, Ji Qingxu smiled and said, "Eat whatever you want. You can treat me to a meal when you have money in the future. What's a meal?"

Zhu Yawen nodded upon hearing this, picked up the Buddha Jumps Over the Wall soup in front of her, and took a sip. "Wow, this soup is amazing! Is this the Buddha Jumps Over the Wall from the Manchu Han Imperial Feast?"

Seeing Zhu Yawen looking at her, Liu Yifei nodded with a grin, "Yes, is it good?"

"It tastes good. With so many ingredients put together, as long as the chef isn't out of his mind, it's bound to taste good."

"Come, Yifei, let me toast you to your lavish meal."

Seeing Ji Qingxu holding up his wine glass and looking at her, Liu Yifei glanced at the glasses in front of her, picked up a glass of red wine, subconsciously looked at the door of the private room, and happily clinked glasses with Ji Qingxu, "Wolong, I'll be waiting for your big meal next time."

"No problem, but why don't you change your drink? It wouldn't be good if your mom saw you drinking too much, would it?"

Hearing Ji Qingxu's reminder, Liu Yifei glanced at the door of the private room again, waved her hand generously, and said, "It's okay, I'll have a drink with you guys first, and then I'll have a beverage."

Ji Qingxu glanced at her with amusement and said nothing more. Today, Liu Yifei gave Ji Qingxu the feeling of a bratty kid who had been cooped up at home for too long and was finally let out. Well, that description wasn't quite accurate, but that was the gist of it.

Seeing Liu Yifei's flushed face and excited expression, Ji Qingxu smiled and took a sip of red wine. Noticing that Ji Qingxu only took a sip, Liu Yifei also took a sip.
