After Jiang Xiyu left, Lin Jing joined, and the team still consisted of five people.
However, the atmosphere was much better than when Jiang Xiyu was around.
Among these people, whether in terms of social status or position in the entertainment circle, Lin Jing surpassed the others by quite a bit.
But after interacting with this senior, it was clear that he had a really good temper and character.
Yu Hui felt this most deeply.
Although he was a rich young master, he was as new as could be in this circle.
Even Xu Zhao had similar experiences to Lin Jing; both had served in the military.
But even with a newcomer like him, this senior Lin Jing treated him no differently from others. He could feel that the respect he received was for him as a person, not just because he was useful and someone spoke nicely to him.
Along with the straightforward and lively Jiang Kaiyuan, who would chat with him when he felt lonely, and the silent but capable Xu Zhao, and Jiang Lingxi, who might be cold to him but exuded a strong sense of security.
The road to survival was still exhausting, with everyone constantly searching for water and food. The survival path was fraught with hidden dangers from venomous snakes and insects, and terrain traps covered by grass or bushes.
But while the body was tired, the heart was light.
Faced with challenges, getting through them together was enough!
Not only did the guests feel this way, but even the audience in the live broadcast room sensed the new team’s atmosphere.
—"Not sure if it’s just me, but after Jiang Xiyu left and senior Lin Jing joined, the survival team feels more comfortable to watch."
—"The team atmosphere is really great now. Though Jiang Lingxi is the only girl in the team, she doesn’t drag at all, you could even say she’s stunning."
—"Finally understanding why the whole team seemed awkward with Jiang Xiyu. Everyone’s actively doing their part, with the more capable tackling the harder tasks and those less capable willingly doing what they can, except for Jiang Xiyu. Before, Yu Hui was running around for her, and after re-teaming, she did the easiest tasks, finished and just didn’t know what to do, passive and negative."
—"There used to be just her and Jiang Lingxi, but now after comparing what was said above, emmm, let’s not compare, as their performances just aren’t on the same level."
—"Once someone leaves, let’s not keep comparing and belittling."
—"Honestly, I think it was good she left, showed some self-awareness."
—"I’m officially ’unfollowing’ Jiang Xiyu, and, ahem, becoming a fan of Jiang Lingxi."
—"Same here, she’s quite cool, didn’t feel it before, now I find I really beautiful and cool type. How to put it, it’s quite captivating."
—"Though the two look somewhat similar, Jiang Xiyu’s persona now seems unsubstantial, lacking Jiang Lingxi’s vividness and presence."
—"Jiang Xiyu’s gentle fairy persona cracked for me when she ate the meat of the rabbit she wanted to keep; it started crumbling and continued to crumble..."
The car was driving toward the airport, and Xiaotao was looking down, replying to Jiang Yuting’s queries about why they hadn’t arrived in the Imperial City yet, when she heard the sound of grinding teeth from beside her.
Turning to look, she saw Jiang Xiyu staring angrily at her phone screen, eyes almost shooting flames.
She quietly shifted her body and saw the rapidly appearing comments on the phone screen. After reading a few, she understood why Jiang Xiyu was so angry.
Though she was Jiang Xiyu’s assistant, honestly, she actually admired Jiang Lingxi more on this show.
Like the comments said, who wouldn’t love this beautiful, cool, and ultra-capable woman who makes you feel incredibly safe?
If Jiang Lingxi’s personality was like that privately too, she really envied Jiang Lingxi’s assistant!
"What are you looking at?"
The muscles on Xiaotao’s cheeks twitched uncontrollably, and she quickly averted her gaze, "Nothing, I’m not looking at anything."
Jiang Xiyu looked at her and sneered, "Do you think someone is pretty good, feeling envious? Stupid pig, in this circle, everyone has two faces, no exceptions. I provide you food, drink, and pay your mother’s medical bills. So what if I scold you a bit? Ask that person if they want you!"
Xiaotao wanted to say she became this assistant because she was arranged by Master Mei, but she hesitated and ultimately didn’t dare say it out loud.
"Hmph, you better not have those thoughts."
Jiang Lingxi didn’t know that even after quitting, Jiang Xiyu was fuming helplessly at her live broadcast. With only one day left before the show’s official shoot concluded, she was the first to notice someone catching up from behind.
The crew, usually trying to remain unobtrusive, finally stepped up to explain, "It’s personnel from the local rare animal protection office," paused, "here to pick up Zai Zai."
As soon as the words were spoken, the five-member team all cast sharp glances in their direction. Follow current novels on ɴovelfire.net
The speaking cameraman wiped the sweat off his forehead and continued under pressure, "Director Li said they initially planned to have these people pick Zai Zai up after filming concluded, but they’re worried about Zai Zai and rushed over."
Jiang Kaiyuan almost burst into tears, "But Zai Zai is fine, we’ve taken good care of it!"
"Then why is its paw fractured?"
Several people emerged from the bushes, the one speaking standing prominently at the front.
With graying hair and a travel-stained appearance, one could tell he raced over without stopping.
"That’s because it..." Mid-sentence, Jiang Kaiyuan hurriedly silenced himself.
He wanted to say Jiang Xiyu intentionally harmed Zai Zai, but they were still on live broadcast and lacked evidence of Jiang Xiyu harming Zai Zai.
Every word spoken before millions of audience members in the live stream had to be accountable.
Thinking of this, he unwillingly swallowed the words.
After shutting Jiang Kaiyuan down with one sentence, Qi Chen walked over to Jiang Lingxi, who was holding Zai Zai, "May I take a look at Zai Zai?"
Jiang Lingxi looked down at the little one drowsily nestled in her arms. Noticeably sensing a kindred spirit, the little one didn’t evade, leisurely rolling into Qi Chen’s arms.
Qi Chen first checked the little one’s injured paw, then skillfully examined the rest of its body, finally releasing the breath he’d been holding, and looked at the girl calmly watching his actions across from him, "Miss Jiang, I’m Qi Chen. Thank you for rescuing a wild baby panda; our Rare Animal Protection Office will have a formal recognition for you later."
Jiang Lingxi responded indifferently to Qi Chen’s talk of recognition but had one question, "How will you settle it afterward?"
Qi Chen replied without hesitation, "First we see if we can find its family. If we do, we’ll release it back to nature once healed. If not, Zai Zai will likely be sent to a panda breeding base to grow up with other baby pandas, where it’ll have many friends."
"That’s good." Jiang Lingxi nodded, then patted the little one’s fluffy ear, "Goodbye, little one!"
