A Low Rank Female Goes Viral Across the Galaxy-Chapter 280: The Miserable Him

Having just finished a scene, Jiang Qin was resting on a sofa when a young-looking male approached and handed her a glass of water.

"Sister Qing, you’ve worked hard. Here, have some water."

Jiang Qin accepted it with a word of thanks.

The male then began to ask her for advice on acting.

He was playing the role of Jin Zhengzhong in the show, so he often had questions for her about performing on-screen rituals.

On set, Jiang Qin would patiently answer anyone who had such questions, treating everyone equally.

Since this male, named Wang Jia’er, frequently asked for her guidance, the two of them grew more familiar.

Occasionally, Wang Jia’er would treat her to a drink or bring her some snacks as a token of his gratitude.

However, he was very mindful of propriety and wouldn’t just give things to her alone; he always made sure everyone got something.

This also helped him earn a good reputation among the cast and crew.

Everyone looked out for this "little brother" who had distinguished himself from the ranks of the extras.

As far as Jiang Qin knew, several female actresses on the same set had already promised they would be willing to marry him once he came of age.

But Wang Jia’er had rejected them all.

His public reason was that he didn’t want to hold any of the "older sisters" back.

His mother had died young, his father was ill, and he had a sister with pure human Genes to support.

Upon learning of his tragic background, everyone started to look after him even more.

Even Jiang Qin couldn’t help but feel a soft spot for him and began planning to suggest that her company sign him.

After all, his acting was quite good. Although he hadn’t had any formal training, he was hardworking enough.

He wouldn’t go home after filming wrapped up for the day. Instead, he would stay on set all night, practicing and constantly rehearsing the next day’s scenes.

’A kid this dedicated deserves a chance.’

"Jia’er, is there anything you don’t understand today?"

Wang Jia’er immediately replied obediently, "Yes, I wanted to ask you, Sister Qing... it’s about the scene where I get possessed by a ghost. I’m afraid I won’t be able to portray a female’s mannerisms well, since I’ve never been in close contact with a female before..."

Jiang Qin understood and immediately explained it to him, performing a demonstration.

’I’ve really come a long way,’ she mused. ’Just a few days ago, I was the one taking classes, and now I’m already teaching others.’

While they were discussing the scene, the child actor who played Kuang Fusheng suddenly rushed over.

He cheered joyfully, "Sister Qing, I got through all my scenes today! I only had three NGs!"

"Is that right? Xiao’an, you’re amazing! Here, have some candy from your big sister."

Jiang Qin took a few candies wrapped in paper folded into five-pointed stars from her pocket. She gave a few to Xiao’an, a few to Wang Jia’er, and added, "Take a couple back for your sister to try."

These candies were actually props.

They were the same kind of star-shaped props Ma Xiaoling used to catch ghosts, but hers didn’t contain ghosts, only candy.

They were even a special brand made by Yun Xie.

He had mixed in fruit harvested from her small plantation. This was all-natural fruit, grown without using bone ash—one could only imagine how rare that was in the Interstellar era.

As for whether they had any special effects, neither Jiang Qin nor her partners had noticed any.

They just tasted fresher, had a richer fruit flavor, and a slightly better texture than the natural fruits from the academy of agricultural sciences.

Because she had a sweet tooth, Yun Xie had used some of the juice to make fruit candies for her to carry around.

Currently, her plantation only grew three types of fruit—apples, pears, and peaches—as well as Chinese cabbage and tomatoes.

As for why she grew these particular plants, it was simply because she had grabbed random seeds from the Seed Gift Package.

The seeds all looked more or less the same and were mixed together, so she had no way to identify them. She could only find out what they were after they had grown.

....

Holding the star-shaped candies, Wang Jia’er smiled, but the smile didn’t reach his eyes.

In the blink of an eye, however, that strange feeling vanished as if it had just been an illusion.

And no one noticed, as everyone’s attention was focused on Jiang Qin.

Interacting with the child, even her smile had become much more innocent.

It was different from her usual polite and courteous smile.

Long Hao didn’t even blink, his eyes filled with the sight of her somewhat childish smile. He couldn’t stop the corners of his own mouth from turning up in a smile along with hers.

As Lan Yuyan left for another business trip, filming for *My Date with a Vampire* was already halfway done.

The neighboring production of *Strange Tales* was a longer series, so it was also only halfway through filming.

However, the broadcasting rights for both shows had been sold long ago.

On the Star Network, netizens were all crying out for more.

[Thirty days and one night of waiting for Qin Bao, and I still can’t sleep.]

[Just passing through. I’ve rewatched *The Legend of the Condor Heroes*, *Kung Fu*, *Kung Fu Hustle*, and *Medicine God* three times, and *Initial D* twice.]

[Going to bed without watching one of Qin Bao’s dramas feels as deeply unsatisfying as taking a dump and not wiping.]

[I have to say, is anyone going to do anything about all the copycat martial arts dramas on the market?

Nine out of ten are about some dopey hero paired with a quirky, eccentric heroine. I’m so sick of it.

Can’t they be a little more innovative? You can’t just keep serving up leftovers like this.]

[Finally, someone said it! It’s either the dumb senior brother with the clever junior sister, or the dumb childhood friend with the clever girl-next-door, or they just reverse the roles....]

[I know this one! It’s the difference between ’stir-fried tomatoes and egg’ and ’stir-fried egg and tomatoes,’ haha!]

[I’m so starved for content I’m actually starting to look forward to Director Thompson’s martial arts drama.]

[Back then, since Tianwen chose him to work with Qin Bao, they must have recognized his skills, right?]

[Well, this Jiang Fan isn’t watching.]

[Boycott +1.]

.....

Back on set, Wang Jia’er thoughtfully brought Jiang Qin another drink, which she didn’t refuse.

However, she was always cautious about food and drink. Even though it came from someone she knew, Xie An’an would still take it to be tested every time.

Xie An’an explained apologetically once again, "Jia’er, please don’t take this the wrong way. I’m mainly worried someone might try to use you to do something malicious. After all, you know there are quite a few people out there who want to harm Miss Jiang Qing."

Wang Jia’er nodded obediently. "Don’t worry, Sister An’an. I won’t overthink it. It’s something she’s going to consume, so it’s better to be cautious."

"I’m glad you understand."

The test results naturally came back clean, so Xie An’an handed the drink to Jiang Qin.

Speaking of testing, one had to mention the detection machine.

Yuan Ling had sent it over, explaining that he had built the machine himself. It had basic functions as well as the ability to detect unknown effects.

In other words, if she were to encounter the same kind of Exotic Beast Meat she had accidentally eaten while filming that variety show, this machine would be able to detect it.

Even if it couldn’t determine the meat’s exact properties, it could still identify that it had a special, unrecorded effect and issue a warning.

This alone was enough to show just how talented Yuan Ling was when it came to mechanics.

At a time when no such device was commercially available, he had already managed to create one based on a single idea.
