Chapter 41
Look.
This is the person Gu Sang has chosen.
After the feeling of guilt buried in her heart disappears, she will not feel guilty for wanting power. She will openly and shamelessly display her ambition before Gu Sang.
She said.
Help me!
I want to overthrow this dynasty.
Then—
Let's overthrow it!
My future queen!
After the call ended, Gu Sang sat on the sofa, her heart pounding with excitement.
Gu Sang could not forget the Elder Princess's eyes, brimming with ambition.
She could not forget how the princess stared into her eyes, steadily and calmly, saying word by word, "Help me ascend to the throne!"
"The most venerable of the revered."
"The one before whom all officials kneel."
"Pei Changying, I told you long ago that you are not worthy of the throne. What I gave you before, I will take back the same way!" Gu Sang raised her eyes, gazing out the window into the distance, a faint smile playing on her lips.
After the livestream.
The System sent her a notification that her livestream room had upgraded again.
This time, the upgrade allowed her to choose someone she had previously connected with and reconnect with them.
"System, I think I heard you say earlier that after the livestream room upgrades, I can choose to close some of the split screens and livestream only a certain region?"
"Yes, but the viewership for a single region livestream will decrease. Please choose carefully."
After receiving the System's response, Gu Sang smiled subtly.
This came at the perfect time. She was just about to give the Elder Princess a grand gift, and this gift was something Pei Changying, residing in the palace, did not need to know about!
The next day. At 9 a.m., the phone rang.
Gu Sang picked up and saw it was a call from President Tang, a film and television executive.
"President Tang, hello."
President Tang got straight to the point with a smile, "Miss Gu Sang, I've invested in a TV drama script, a modern war drama. We're still missing a female supporting role, and I think this character would suit you very well. Would you like to give it a try?"
"Sure, how is the pay calculated?" Gu Sang was most concerned about the money, not the role.
After all, she wasn't famous.
The fame she gained from that short drama would fade away like ashes: dazzling but fleeting.
Seeing how straightforward Gu Sang was, President Tang appreciated her even more.
People in the entertainment industry would stretch a single sentence into several, but she came right out and talked about money, which showed her honesty. "I have high hopes for you. For unknown new actors, the pay is usually quite low."
"The standard rate is 50,000 per episode."
"The female supporting role will appear in around eight or nine episodes."
"However, the script has high demands on the actors. For instance, on the battlefield, you can't just wear a short skirt, put on makeup, and head to the battlefield. The filming has to match the battlefield environment, so I don't know if you can accept that."
Gu Sang was silent for a few seconds, then asked earnestly, "Is there an opportunity to negotiate a higher rate?"
"I know 50,000 is already a lot, but if there's a chance for more profit, I want to fight for it. I can endure the hardships soldiers face. If you're worried about my abilities, you can have me audition in person."
Hearing Gu Sang's confident words.
President Tang was not offended; instead, he liked her even more.
He loved people who dared to openly display their ambition! Profits had to be fought for with one's own mouth!
"The price is negotiable."
"If you can truly perform this supporting role well, I have another leading role in a period drama that you can consider."
"This war drama hasn't started filming yet. The actors need to attend military training exercises first. After the training, I'll discuss the terms with you."
"The departure date is set for three days from now. Send me your ID number later, and I'll have my assistant book your tickets."
After finishing the call with President Tang.
Gu Sang opened WeChat, found President Tang's account, and sent him her ID number.
Soon after, she received the itinerary from President Tang.
Following that, the airline and railway companies sent her ticket purchase information and timing.
The weather, which had been a bit cool yesterday, turned hot again today.
Gu Sang, dressed in a floral dress and carrying a bag, was about to go to school to request a leave of absence and instruct the System to start the livestream.
"Hello, one bowl of pork intestine noodle soup, and an extra fried dough stick, please."
Gu Sang's clear voice came from the screen.
The concubines, officials, commoners, and soldiers all looked up at the projection when they heard it!
Recently, there had been rumors of a celestial being appearing on the city walls and teaching the commoners farming knowledge.
The entire capital was aware of this.
Many commoners would even walk around outside the city walls for no reason, hoping to encounter the celestial being again.
"Quick, come look! The celestial being has appeared again!"
The commoners shouted as they ran over.
In no time, the area outside the city walls was surrounded by commoners, three layers deep on both sides, with even the city guards unable to get through and forced to maintain security from the outside.
From the eyes of the ancients, they could see the scene of Gu Sang eating breakfast.
Upon seeing this, the commoners were immediately stirred into a frenzy. "So that's the celestial being's food? It looks crystal clear!"
"Look, the shopkeeper is actually using a huge pot of oil to fry things. What a waste!"
"A few days ago, when the divine miracle appeared, the rice looked like real pearls, and they even gave it out for free."
The ancients stared at the noodle soup in awe.
They were even more stunned by the oil used for frying the dough sticks.
For ordinary commoners cooking at home, they would only use a bit of oil on the chopsticks, not a whole pot like Gu Sang was using to fry things so extravagantly.
It wasn't just the commoners at the city gates who were amazed, even the officials attending court in the main hall were in disbelief.
They didn't understand! They didn't understand how Gu Sang's world could contain such an endless stream of astonishing things.
Every time the officials thought they had seen it all.
The next second.
Something even more shocking would appear!
"Did you notice that her clothes are so indecent? Her arms and ankles are exposed! And all the people in her world dress like that."
"Never mind the clothes, did you see that the celestial being didn't give any money after eating? She just walked away!"
"Ah, you don't know this. I've been watching for a few days now. The celestial being didn't pay with money, but with that glowing thing in her hand called a 'mobile phone.'"
"Whoah?!"
"There's money inside that thing? How much can it hold?!"
"People in the palace say it's like a magic treasure box used by celestial beings. It has an endless supply of money. With it, you can eat anything without paying!"
The commoners and soldiers who had watched the livestreams and knew some modern knowledge nodded their heads proudly.
They used the most exciting words to explain.
Meanwhile, Gu Sang had taken a bus to school.
As she approached the dean's office, she heard sobbing coming from inside.
It sounded like a female student crying.
Seeing Gu Sang enter, the staff member let the crying girl sit on the sofa to calm down. "Your parents should be here soon. Don't cry anymore."
"Crying won't help. Whatever troubles you have, tell your parents."
