mysterious forerunner

Chapter 343 Queen + Sixth Level
"Why are the people from the Guangbei Bureau coming to our Yuan City?" Tian Mingkun muttered. If Feng Lintong had not happened to be around, he would have just found it strange and let the matter go.

They are all “one of us”, what else is there to investigate?

But after Feng Lintong's reminder, Tian Mingkun also realized that an out-of-town Secret Security Bureau agent quietly entered Yuan City, appeared next to Director Zhang, and then used his professional ability to "disappear out of thin air" - this was very wrong!

The Secret Security Bureau is extremely busy and there is no possibility of giving anyone a holiday.

Even if you got married yesterday, you have to come back to work today.

If Zhang Cangxiong came to the original city on a business trip, why didn't he contact the original city bureau for assistance?

Feng Lintong suggested to Tian Mingkun: "The two of us have too little authority, so we should report this matter directly to the old director."

Director Zhang has entered the [Radio Astronomy World], and the earliest we can notify him is tomorrow.

Tian Mingkun nodded, feeling that the twists and turns here were too complicated for his brain to handle.

The "old director" Zhang Ruiqian was just like Tian Mingkun more than half a year ago, with strong limbs and a big head... it's better not to say anything.

But now I have also trained myself in my position.

As soon as Tian Mingkun reported, he smelled some kind of conspiracy: "You go back first, leave this matter to me."

Zhang Ruiqian immediately contacted Mr. Guo and Liang Zimian.

Mr. Guo frowned and asked angrily, "What does the Guangbei Bureau want to do!?"

Liang Zimian adjusted his glasses and said, "Even if the General Administration came forward, it's not easy to investigate this matter directly. No matter what, Zhang Cangxiong only came to Yuan City.

Moreover, among the three elders from the General Administration, the one from the Bai family supports us, but I heard that the one from the Xu family is very optimistic about the Guangbei Bureau recently.

Many of Elder Xu's old subordinates are working in the Northeast Bureau, and the Guangbei Bureau is under the Northeast Bureau. He intends to support Gan Fengjie and Zheng Tonghe."

Mr. Guo called Director Hu and said, "I'll ask Director Hu to retrieve Zhang Cangxiong's basic information first."

After listening to Mr. Guo’s request, Director Hu neither said he would help nor said he would not help, and just hung up the phone.

A few minutes later, an unfamiliar number sent Zhang Cangxiong's information to Liang Zimian's mobile phone.

Zhang Cangxiong, fifth-level [Actor].

There is also some information about Zhang Cangxiong's background and interpersonal relationships.

Another point was specially noted: Zhang Cangxiong was in the Guangbei Bureau, and he and Gan Fengjie were like brothers.

They entered the Guangbei Bureau together, and it was probably with the help of Gan Fengjie that Zhang Cangxiong was able to advance all the way to the fifth level.

The profession of [Actor] has a rare professional skill that will make everyone who has seen him feel good about him and subconsciously want to protect him.

Liang Zimian deduced: "He is helping Gan Fengjie to investigate Director Xiao Zhang? Gan Fengjie regards Director Xiao Zhang as a competitor?"

Mr. Guo knew a little about Zhang Qingxiang's strength, and sneered disdainfully: "Just him? Humph!"

Zhang Ruiqian bit his back teeth, and the chewing muscles in his cheeks bulged high like two ping-pong balls.

"Call Peng Shuangjie." The old director made a decision: "Let him go to Guangbei City and make sure he comes to see Gan Fengjie.

Why can only the Guangbei Bureau people disgust us? Old... I want to disgust them too!"

Peng Shuangjie had heard about this from Tian Mingkun a long time ago. When the old director sent someone to call him over, Peng Shuangjie was arguing with Tian Mingkun fiercely, "Your squad leader is a waste! Remove him, remove him. Such a person is not capable of being a squad leader..."

Tian Mingkun was also very annoyed. This loser almost missed a conspiracy against the "boss"!

"Old ministers" like Tian Mingkun called Zhang Qingxiang "Boss" in private, and only in public would they address him in a more formal way as "Director Zhang".

Tian Mingkun was very direct. Without making any excuses, he removed that guy from his position as squad leader.

Peng Shuangjie was very excited when he received the task from the old director. He bought a plane ticket as soon as he came out of the old director's office. He flew to Guangbei City without even going home.

Damn, you ran thousands of kilometers to disgust our boss?

I'm going to go and disgust you guys too!
……

Zhang Qingxiang felt that [The Inspirer] was more compatible with Bai Qian's professional abilities. After bringing Bai Qian into the [Radio World], he originally wanted to find an opportunity to "lend" this high-level secret object to Bai Qian.

Unexpectedly, when fighting with the monsters, all kinds of secret items appeared on Bai Qian's body!

Although the strongest one is only a fifth-level one, it is very suitable for her to use.

Zhang Qingxiang didn't bother to interfere.

When Bai Qian uses [Summoner], there is a certain risk that the secret object may contaminate the user due to the huge level gap.

Bai Qian participated in four hunts and was promoted to the fourth level.

Zhang Qingxiang brought Bai Qian back to the Earth and asked Comrade Ye Shumin to help Bai Qian completely clean up the mysterious infection.

Then he immediately entered the "radio field" again.

Ye Shumin knew this famous star, and was full of doubts: Her son seemed to take good care of her? Could it be...

Ye Shumin wanted to pull her son over and scold him, but she said, "You can't let Shengsheng down."

Ye Shumin was really satisfied with this little girl Shengsheng in every way and had already decided in her heart that she was her daughter-in-law.

He also wanted to secretly remind Ye Yousheng to keep a close eye on this kid.

However, they were too busy with work and before they had time to educate their son, they entered the field of radio astronomy.

Then Ye Shumin struggled for a while, and could only sigh and said there was nothing she could do about it.

If my son really changes his mind, I can't pull him back. How can you force feelings?
But no matter what the final result is, Ye Shumin has made up her mind: Shengsheng is my own daughter.

Zhang Qingxiang discovered that Bai Qian's talent in the mysterious field was buried.

She fights in a methodical way and has her own understanding of the combination of secret skills and secret items. [Actor] is not actually a profession that focuses on combat, but Bai Qian's harvest from each hunt can consistently rank in the top five.

Although it has never been number one, it has remained firmly in the forefront.

……

When Bai Qian left the crew, she took a week off.

The fake one was approved by Director Ji, Bai Qian had already left, and only a few investors knew about it.

They were furious.

I notified Bai Qian’s agent that day: Come back immediately, or we’ll see you in court!
The agent rushed over from Beijing and discussed with the investors: "Before Sister Bai left, she specifically told me to wait for her. She will do her best to complete this work!

At the same time, we are willing to compensate her in full for all the losses she has suffered due to her wasted time."

The investor was extremely angry: "We know Bai Qian is not short of money, but how are you going to compensate? How do you calculate the loss?"

"Is it just the cost of the crew and equipment being idle during the days of suspension?"

"We have hundreds of millions of dollars in funds. If we put them in the bank and earn interest, we will have a lot of money. If we use them for other investments, the returns will be higher."

"Besides, the subject matter of the movie is also time-sensitive. If her delay causes the movie to fail at the box office, does she have to compensate us for all our investment?"

The agent was also unhappy: "This is a bit far-fetched. Do you still want Sister Bai to cover your investment?"

The investor was very tough: "If Bai Qian doesn't come back in three days, we will replace her. She will be responsible for all the losses caused!"

This would be a huge loss. If the female lead is replaced, all the previous scenes involving her would have to be re-shot, and there would also be the issue of delays.

If Bai Qian goes to court, she will almost certainly lose, and the compensation will be tens of millions.

The agent said angrily, "We are all in the same industry, are you really so heartless? Sister Bai has always been very supportive of your previous projects, and she has helped out three or four times for free, right?"

Investor: "This is business. Times have changed. You should persuade Bai Qian that if she wants to continue to be popular, she has to put down her pride!"

The agent's face turned pale, and he understood what they meant.

Beneath the mystery, the decline of traditional stars is already evident.

Capital is indeed the most ruthless.

The agent remembered what Bai Qian had told him before she left: If they can't wait, then just terminate the contract.

"Then I'll see you in court."

Director Ji had been accompanying her the whole time. He didn't know where Bai Qian had gone, but he went to Zhang Qingxiang for help. His original intention was to ask Zhang Qingxiang to help her play a cameo role, similar to Gan Fengjie's operation. As a result, Zhang Qingxiang took Bai Qian away directly.

Director Ji thought about it for a long time: If the female lead is replaced by Chu Ruoyan, the one the investor mentioned, can the box office of this movie be saved?

Chu Ruoyan's status is one level lower than Bai Qian's.

Even if she is willing to create scandals to attract attention, Chu Ruoyan's "jewelry woman image" is unstable, and there are a lot of negative news about her on the Internet.

The audience may not buy into her gossip.

Moreover, if Bai Qian were to play the role, she would inevitably be boycotted by the queen's huge fan base.

The most important thing is that Director Ji is a director with aspirations, and Chu Ruoyan’s acting skills...does she have such a thing?

When Director Ji thought of Zhang Qingxiang, the experiences of "field trip" emerged in his mind, and he was full of confidence in Zhang Qingxiang.

Director Zhang must have a deep meaning behind this arrangement!
Director Ji coughed and said, "Let me give you my opinion: If you want to replace Bai Qian, then I won't be directing this drama anymore. Just replace me as well."

The agent looked at Director Ji unexpectedly, somewhat surprised.

It is crucial for the director to stand on the side of his actors at this time.

If a leading actor in a play is replaced, it is likely to be disadvantageous to the actor. All passers-by will speculate whether you are a big shot and the entire crew can't stand you, so they replaced you out of tolerance.

But if the leading actor and the director quit together, it would be a different situation.

This must be because the two main creators had artistic pursuits and were unwilling to compromise with capital, so they were kicked out.

It can be said that if Bai Qian and Director Ji quit the crew together, there would be no need to film the show, and the show would definitely fail.

The investor was also shocked: "Old Ji!"

"What do you mean?" "Don't forget that you could only make low-budget art films before. Who gave you the opportunity?"

Director Ji was firm: "I think for this play, waiting for Bai Qian to come back is the right choice."

"You guys--" The investor was furious. The negotiation ended in a bad mood and the investor did not dare to force a replacement.

……

Bai Qian took a week off, and when the time was up, she successfully advanced to the fifth level with the help of Zhang Qingxiang.

"I want to be promoted to the sixth level." Bai Qian said firmly: "Gan Fengjie is at least the sixth level, I can't be weaker than him."

The fifth-rank [Actor] is enough to promote the movie, but Bai Qian has always been strong-willed. What she wants to achieve is not just "enough", but "the best".

In addition, Bai Qian had some selfish thoughts and did not tell Zhang Qingxiang: whether it was Ye Yousheng or Shi Luo, their ranks were far higher than Bai Qian.

Although Bai Qian’s home field is not in the professional field, she cannot fall too far behind.

Zhang Qingxiang nodded and agreed.

With the support of the secret realm, the early stage of [Transcendent Realm] will be promoted quickly. However, it is more difficult to advance above the fifth level.

Bai Qian fought hard in the [Radio World] for a full twenty days.

During these twenty days, every time lightning strikes, she will participate in the next battle.

Return to Earth every three days to cleanse the body of the mysterious infection.

Finally she was promoted to the sixth level.

Bai Qian was proud to return from the [Radio World].

She came out of the base in the Gobi Desert, her plane landed at Yuanshi Airport, and immediately called her agent.

The agent almost cried: "My dear aunt, you are finally back! It's been almost a month..."

Even with the support of Director Ji, we can’t hold on any longer.

The investors would not "sit and wait for death". After a week's vacation, when Bai Qian had not returned yet, they started releasing some news online.

In the crew, some young actors and staff members, at their instructions, leaked some "inside information" online.

Five days ago, when a reporter was interviewing the male lead, he asked: Has the crew stopped working for more than 20 days? Are everyone waiting for Bai Qian?

The male lead didn’t answer, but not answering is actually the answer.

The public opinion online is very unfavorable to Bai Qian.

Bai Qian snorted coldly and rushed back to the crew. The attitude of the investor was very bad.

"Haha, our big star is finally back."

The investors have already made all the preparations for the replacement. If Bai Qian comes back three days later, which means she has been away from the crew for a whole month, they will hold a press conference to announce the replacement of the female lead and make public Bai Qian's "actions"!
They feel that they have done their best and the audience will definitely support them.

Director Ji also rushed over. He had lost 20 kilograms. He was not fat to begin with, but now he was just skin and bones.

Bai Qian smiled and nodded to the director, handing him a script. "I changed a few scenes, Director Ji, take a look."

Bai Qian rarely intervened in the writing of scripts. Director Ji took it and looked at it for a few seconds. He was surprised and asked, "Can you do this?"

Bai Qian raised her eyebrows: "Yes!"

Director Ji handed the script to the investors and said coldly, "Our movie will definitely be a big hit!"

The investors looked through the script quickly. The designs for these scenes were all about Bai Qian's character, who used her extraordinary strength to complete various "actions" with explosive effects, including the release of six-level secret techniques three times.

And Bai Qian specifically noted that no post-production special effects are required.

The investors knew exactly what this meant, and looked at Bai Qian in astonishment: "You...you are only at level three..."

"I am now at the sixth level." Bai Qian exuded a domineering confidence: "I am also at the sixth level. Gan Fengjie is nothing in front of me!"

She swore loudly during the day. She had been very busy during this period and was under tremendous psychological pressure.

Today, all came out through this swear word.

"It doesn't matter, Qing Xiang is not here." Bai Tianhou thought playfully in his heart.

……

Before the mystery came, he was a superstar, and after the mystery came, he was a high-level professional.

Does such a person have the qualifications to ignore Gan Fengjie?
Of course there are.

Zhang Qingxiang never had such a person in his two lives.

In the previous life, a North American company once promoted a fourth-level movie star.

He was just a third-tier male before the mysterious coming. When the first-tier strong men from all over the world had reached the sixth tier, he barely crossed the fourth tier threshold.

Even so, he remained the most popular movie star in the Western world for the next three years.

His influence is comparable to that of Michael Jackson back then.

It was not until three years later, when level 4s were everywhere and level 5s were as numerous as dogs, that he had no more publicity points and finally retired from the film industry.

During these three years, he focused a lot of energy on acting and making money, and his level of progress remained stagnant.

These investors certainly understand what "Queen of Heaven" + "Sixth Level" means.

When they were in the studio, they witnessed Bai Qian displaying the sixth-level professional skills and immediately performed a face-changing technique!
"Excellent!" One of the investors clapped his hands vigorously. He had a towel on his shoulders and an iced drink under his arm. He ran over to Bai Qian with a big smile on his face and said, "Sister Bai, have some water."

"Sister Bai, wipe your sweat."

In fact, releasing this sixth-level ability is very easy for Bai Qian now, and there is not even a drop of sweat on her face.

"We are just a bunch of pigs!" Another investor said bitterly: "What do we know about art? Sister Bai is the real artist!"

The last one made a prompt decision, raised his hand and said, "Let me make a statement. I think the previous agreement is too unfair to Sister Bai. I propose to increase Sister Bai's share of the box office by one more percentage point!"

The other two looked hesitant, but quickly gritted their teeth and said, "I agree."

"I agree, Sister Bai is worth the price."

The agent chuckled, feeling proud, and also took the opportunity to say a few harsh words, venting out the resentment he had been holding in for some time.

These investors were smiling throughout the whole process and said whatever they wanted as long as it made them money.

With more than three times the profit, they can really swallow their pride.

After seeing off the investors, Bai Qian said to her agent, "Re-negotiate the contract with them tomorrow."

The agent nodded: "Let's finalize that one percent."

"No," Bai Qian shook her head, "We don't want that. We'll do everything according to the original contract. Also, if you find a professional to assess the losses of the crew during the 27 days I stopped working, we'll compensate you in full."

The agent was surprised, but soon understood and sneered, "You did the right thing. These guys are only interested in profit. This cooperation is over. We have done our best and will never accept their projects again!"

Our Qianqian is about to take off.

There used to be several actresses of the same level competing for the position, but there are no more in the future.

I declare that from now on, whether it is on the big screen or the small screen, there will only be one queen, and that is our Qianqian!
Bai Qian shook her head indifferently, "To be honest, what they did was not wrong. From a business perspective, I delayed the progress and was unwilling to cooperate with the hype, so it is normal for them to want to replace me.

It is also normal to do some small things to reduce losses.

It’s just that after all this trouble, it will be awkward to meet each other in the future, so let’s just not cooperate.”

Then, Bai Tianhou changed the subject and asked, "Gan Fengjie, how is your investigation going?"

The background investigation company that Bai Qian worked with charged expensive fees, starting at $500,000.

After the mysterious arrival, the cases involving professionals were more expensive. The sixth-level Gan Fengjie, the other party asked for a full six million!
After daytime, he gave it without blinking an eye.

The agent complained: "We spent so much money, but it wasn't used for our investigation."

She handed the information to Bai Qian: "Do you still need to worry about Director Zhang? Gan Fengjie can't pose any threat to him."

"Don't underestimate the enemy." Bai Qian smiled and looked more and more relaxed as she looked at the information. From the information, Gan Fengjie, Zhang Cangxiong and Liu Wenwen have been good friends since they first joined the Guangbei City Secret Case Team. Gan Fengjie has always been the "leader". With his help, Liu Wenwen has been promoted to the fifth-level [Doctor] and is now the director of the Guangbei Bureau's mysterious hospital.

Zhang Cangxiong is the least noticeable one among the trio, but his colleagues all say that Zhang Cangxiong is very convinced of Gan Fengjie and is more loyal to him than his subordinates.

Gan Fengjie was indeed promoted to the seventh level recently, but he seemed to have encountered a lull and his improvement speed has slowed down recently.

Bai Qian transferred the electronic files of these materials to Zhang Qingxiang.

When Zhang Qingxiang received the information, he was talking on the phone with Tian Mingkun.

Tian Suo reported Zhang Cangxiong's affairs.

"Gan Fengjie considers me a competitor and asked his most trusted person to go to Yuan City to test my strength up close."

Zhang Qingxiang smiled bitterly and shook his head.

Zhang Qingxiang felt that it was unnecessary for his father to send Peng Shuangjie to Guangbei City to disgust others. This kind of temptation was within the tolerance range of Director Zhang. If it was beyond the tolerance range, Director Zhang would not fight back and forth like this. Director Zhang would go directly to the Guangbei Bureau and slap Gan Fengjie to the ground.

After the call, Zhang Qingxiang looked at the information while sending a message to Peng Shuangjie: "Go back, there are a lot of things waiting for you in the bureau."

Just after sending it, the phone dinged and Peng Shuangjie replied: Boss, I actually found something. There might be something wrong with this Gan Fengjie.

Zhang Qingxiang casually sent out four words: What’s the problem?
Zhang Qingxiang finished reading the dozens of pages of electronic documents sent by Bai Qian. Before waiting for Peng Shuangjie's reply, he picked up his phone and sent another "?".

After ten minutes without a reply, Zhang Qingxiang immediately called Peng Shuangjie, but was told that the phone was turned off.

Zhang Qingxiang frowned, having a bad feeling.

"Arrange a plane for me, I want to go to Guangbei City right away!" Zhang Qingxiang immediately notified the person in charge of the base.
