Chapter 160 - 160 160 Indeed Very Poisonous
?Chapter 160: Chapter 160 Indeed Very Poisonous Chapter 160: Chapter 160 Indeed Very Poisonous Luo Ning had already gathered a long line in front of his stall, and the same was true for the wood carving shop next door.
Lu Xun, with his exquisite carving skills, had won the pursuit of customers.
Like Luo Ning, customers could request carvings of real people or from photographs, whatever they desired.
The customers at the front were all his fans, but once they saw the lifelike humanoid wood carvings that closely resembled real people, everyone became excited.
This also sparked the interest of many passersby to join the queue and wait.
Then, the clay figurine and wood carving customers would switch places, finishing here and immediately lining up for wood carvings next door, or vice versa.
By the time Ji Xinghang had made adequate preparations for his performance, Luo Ning and Lu Xun had already made quite a bit of money.
Not wanting to lose to Lu Xinji in earning money, he changed into a set of black practice clothes and began to wield a longsword.
Qi Yuelan had sent Ji Xinghang to practice martial arts from a young age, and he himself was very talented, having also apprenticed under a martial arts master.
He hadn’t neglected his training over the years, so when he wielded the sword, it was a ferocious sight.
Combined with his handsome and cool appearance, his fans had long been screaming on the sidelines, and even passersby couldn’t help but cheer for him.
Hearing that Luo Ning and Lu Xun only charged 20 yuan, he told everyone not to tip more than 20 yuan per person.
This left those Star Fans who originally wanted to tip hundreds or thousands feeling regretful, but it also won the goodwill of many others.
Su Qinglan was more meticulous in her work, and having studied oil painting, she found a coloring job at a handicraft workshop.
After finishing, she made two hundred yuan, and the two students she brought with her each made one hundred, which was quite good overall.
While Luo Ning’s group was busy and bustling, the other group of four wasn’t doing as well.
They had spent a long time looking for work, either the pay was too low or the jobs were beyond their capabilities.
Since the production team didn’t confiscate everyone’s phones today, and only forbid the use of money, they each began to livestream to watch how Luo Ning’s group was faring.
When they saw that Luo Ning and Lu Xun were making a living directly from their skills without even having to find a job, and their business was booming, they wanted to cry.
Indeed, following Little Ningning and Lu God had been the right choice.
Wei Yao suggested, “Why don’t we also start a side hustle?”
Ni Xinxuan smiled and said, “I’ve already talked to a embroidery shop owner about helping out, you all go ahead.”
Wei Yao nodded, “Okay, let’s meet up for dinner after work.”
“I plan to learn from Little Ningning and Mr. Lu, rent a place and some tools, and sell calligraphy and paintings,” he added.
Chai Jing said, “Then I’ll go to a teahouse and sing operas. I just asked, and they pay two hundred for four hours.”
The only one left was Bo Xiangxiang.
“I’ll go watch Teacher Ji perform, and if not, I might try that myself.” The idea had taken root in her heart the moment she saw Ji Xinghang entertaining.
Seeing her in this state, Ni Xinxuan smiled slyly, “Then you’d better hurry, you have a good relationship with Teacher Ji. If you partner up with him, who knows, you might earn more than any of us.”
Before, she had been primarily confrontational towards Bo Xiangxiang, but this had led to many accusing her of bullying the newcomer.
That day, Luo Ning had advised her against giving Bo Xiangxiang the chance to play the pity card.
She felt he was right; this woman just liked to play the victim and the white lotus to elicit men’s sympathy.
If they publicly targeted her, it would only allow the little white flower to thrive.
So, she decided not to play into this woman’s hands, keeping her jabs and targeting behind the scenes, while openly praising and killing with kindness.
Let’s see who would dare say she was constantly using her status to bully newcomers.
She wasn’t close to Ji Xinghang, but she had gained a rough understanding of his character – truly a steel-straight man.
Having Bo White Lotus throw herself at him would surely be asking for humiliation, and she was all too eager to watch the drama unfold.
Ni Xinxuan’s words made Bo Xiangxiang’s smile stiffen on her face.
She had already braced herself for Ni Xinxuan’s sarcasm, ready to show a look of suppressed sorrow and strong resilience.
Why was this woman suddenly not playing by the rules?
She could only force a smile and say, “Teacher Ni, you’re joking.”
Ni Xinxuan couldn’t be bothered with Bo Xiangxiang, and seeing the other party stumped, she felt good.
After all, it was Little Ningning who had it right; you can’t deal with this kind of woman using conventional methods.
Soon, the group’s guest celebrities took their apprentices separately to make money.
When Bo Xiangxiang found Ji Xinghang’s performance spot, she saw the long line waiting for Luo Ning to mold clay figurines.
Envy, jealousy, and hatred couldn’t help but arise in her heart; this woman was truly lucky, just happened to know these skills and encountered the production team coming to National Treasure Town.
Her expression unchanging, she squeezed into the crowd at the performance area.
Seeing Ji Xinghang just came out in a new set of red practice clothes, his fair skin and delicate features made the red outfit even more striking and handsome.
Bo Xiangxiang’s face flushed – aside from Lu God, Ji Xinghang was the most handsome and masculine man she had ever seen.
She approached with a smile, “Teacher Ji, can I perform Martial Arts with you?”
There’s a saying that men and women paired together make work feel lighter.
She, a girl, had offered to join in front of the live broadcast, so he probably couldn’t refuse.
She believed that with her involvement, the performance would be even better.
The audience in front of the live stream would compliment her.
She absolutely would not admit she wanted to leech off Ji Xinghang’s popularity.
Ji Xinghang had just changed his clothes and came out when he saw Bo Xiangxiang, and a bad premonition arose in him.
Sure enough, once she finished speaking, his expression changed.
His first reaction was to look immediately toward Luo Ning not far away.
Seeing her engrossed in making clay figurines, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Bo Xiangxiang, this woman, just wouldn’t leave him alone.
Without hesitation, he shook his head and refused, “No need, I can manage on my own.”
Ji Xinghang’s response caught Bo Xiangxiang off guard.
She couldn’t help but show a pitiful expression and pleaded, “Teacher Ji, I’m not skilled at other things, but I can do Martial Arts, please take me under your wing.”
“I definitely won’t hold you back, and besides, you can keep the majority of the money we make.”
Her true intention for performing alongside Ji Xinghang was certainly not for money.
But obviously, Bo Xiangxiang still didn’t understand Ji Xinghang.
Top Star Ji, now no longer controlled by the Power of the World, acted capriciously towards everyone and didn’t care about others or what the audience thought.
“It seems you’re just the type to drag others down; confidence is good, but overconfidence is arrogance.”
He added more profoundly, “Don’t always think about relying on men; girls should be independent and strong.”
If it weren’t for this woman, he wouldn’t have had such a fall out with Luo Ning.
He was sick of her, wishing she’d stay away from him; how could he possibly bother to help her?
Little Ningning was much better, always so independent, strong, and genuine.
“If you want to perform, get ready on your own; we’re not in the same group, and it’s not nice to expect a free ride.”
Having said this, Ji Xinghang quickly took the nunchaku handed over by an apprentice and moved to the front, swiftly starting to swing them around.
He looked as if he was being chased by ghosts, terrified of being tainted by any bad luck.
The way he did it left the apprentices a bit confused; they had long heard of Top Star Ji’s sharp tongue but had never witnessed it until now.
Today they saw it firsthand; he was indeed venomous.
They pretended not to see Bo Xiangxiang’s stiff and paling face, bearing a look of disbelief, and quickly followed up front to prepare.
