Reporter Liu has been shocked by the scenes shot in the camera. It happened that Ji Yaling called him again and asked him what he had secretly photographed. Was it big news? Regardless of what was really happening, as long as it was shot vaguely, he could put out more ambiguous news. Was he worried that there was no big news?
Reporter Liu frowned and said, “It was photographed. Jiang Nian was indeed meeting a man....in fact, she was meeting several men.”
Ji Yaling said, “Is there any other woman beside her?”
“No.”
“Then what are you hesitating for? Hurry up and send it out!”
It was definitely going to be sent, but the title was not easy to write.
Ji Yaling is very happy hearing Jiang Nian met not just one man, but several. With reporter Liu’s habit of writing scandals, Jiang Nian must be miserable! She wondered what Zhao Heng’s mood would be when he heard the news. Didn’t he love and protect Jiang Nian so much? Now that Jiang Nian betrayed him, would he regret it?
Although Jiang Nian was talented, she wasn’t so good.
Ji Yaling was secretly proud of herself and worked harder with the director and producer. She must make Yang Zhan popular.
It’s unknown whether she was too happy or worked too hard, but Ji Yaling accidentally drank too much and had to excuse herself to take a rest in the bathroom.
However, she did not expect that she met Jiang Nian again.
Only this time, Jiang Nian seemed to be a little different from what she was just now. Her whole figure was listless like an eggplant covered in frost. Even her big waves had fallen, as if it had been hit.
She smiled proudly. This kind of Jiang Nian made Ji Yaling even happier. When she walked in front of her, she had a sense of charity: “Jiang Nian, what’s wrong with you, it looks like you are not happy? What happened?”
Jiang Nian glanced at her. Wasn’t she supposed to use her beauty to do things? Why wasn’t anyone in her room seeing her beauty?
She was so beautiful and so gorgeous that her hair was fluttering to the sky. Why didn’t she even see an admiring glance?
....Or were their eyes blocked by her outstanding talent? Was it her fault for being too talented?
Jiang Nian ignored Ji Yaling: “It’s okay, I’ll leave first.”
Ji Yaling saw Jiang Nian not want to say more and became even more interested, pulling Jiang Nian and saying, “Don’t go. I and A Heng are good friends, you can tell me anything. You see, you just became a director. If you need anything, I can help. If there’s anyone you want to know, I can also introduce you.”
How could Jiang Nian not feel Ji Yaling’s malice. She bent her lip and pushed away Ji Yaling’s hand holding her, responding, “Thank you Ji jie for the offer, but Xingxiu has already switched you to represent a small artist because of your lack of ability. How can you help me?”
Ji Yaling’s smile stiffened and her face was awkward, but she quickly covered it up.
“Jiang Nian, I want to help you. Our company’s affairs are not as simple as you see. Forget it, these things have nothing to say with you. You just need to understand that I really want to help you.”
Jiang Nian: “Sister Ji, do you mean that Xingxiu blamed you wrongly or deliberately suppressed you?”
Ji Yaling was endlessly dissatisfied with the company, but she was not stupid enough to admit it in public.
“....Of course not.”
Jiang Nian made a sound.
“In fact, I really need help, because the only thing I lack now is money. If you have money, you can give it to me! You see that I am so successful now, the first online drama is big, and Chen Qing and Song Hanhan have also become popular. Don’t just say that a small investment in me can really make a lot of money, I believe I can take it to the next stage!”
Ji Yaling looked at Jiang Nian’s proud expression and could not help but hate again. If not for her butterfly effect, could Jiang Nian have today?
She snorted.
“Jiang Nian, don’t be too proud. The most dispensable thing in this circle is talent. You are so proud and complacent now that it will not be good if you fall down that day.”
Jiang Nian said, “Like how you were dropped by Xingxiu? It’s not true. I think my ability to work is particularly good. You see that many netizens say that I am a genius. For me to overcome my difficulties and get what I have today- isn’t it because I am talented?”
Ji Yaling: “........!!!”
She was going to be driven mad by Jiang Nian. She had never seen such a shameless woman. She really wanted to see the painful expression on Jiang Nian’s face tomorrow when her and those men’s scandals came out!
Jiang Nian and Ji Yaling’s talk relaxed Jiang Nian and returned a little of her self-confidence. Good, she was still the woman who made people concerned the moment they saw her!
Jiang Nian felt that she could go back and continue fighting.
She said goodbye to Ji Yaling, and set off again with confidence, without looking at Ji Yaling’s twisted face.
As soon as Jiang Nian left, Ji Yaling contacted the reporter who was hiding outside and asked him to blast out the news earlier, so as to avoid any mishaps! He agreed but didn’t disclose when he would send it.
That night Ji Yaling drank a little too much, but she always had good alcohol tolerance, so she was not drunk. But Yang Zhan also drank a lot. In the end, she still had to wait for the waiter to help him back into the car, and then still had to deal with preventing any bad assumptions made by the director.
She rubbed her forehead and laughed, and suddenly saw the manager of the restaurant and was full of smiles, politely and respectfully walking over to him, but was passed over by him, as he exclaimed, “President Bi, President Zheng, how was your dinner? Please forgive me for interrupting.”
Such a humble appearance was rare for him. At least, it had never been seen by Ji Yaling who was amazed beside him. And she couldn’t help but wonder if the Bi Zheng and Zheng Hao who he greeted were “the” Bi Zheng and Zheng Hao. When she looked back in curiosity, she really saw Bi Zheng and Zheng Hao walking around.
These two men were both dragons and phoenixes1?and, now walking side by side, naturally attracted the attention of many people, some of whom voluntarily greeted them. Ji Yaling couldn’t help but feel a little envious. She touched her cheek and wanted to go up and say a few words. Bi Zheng invested in big dramas. If she had a good relationship with Bi Zheng, would she worry about not getting a role?
But she also knew that she was not yet qualified and going over now would only make her a laughingstock.
Ji Yaling hid behind the crowd and watched Bi Zheng and Zheng Hao walking side by side. Behind them followed Bi Lei, Zheng Qi, and Chen Xin, who made her sneer, just because these young masters were stupid. They were actually cheated to turn around Jiang Nian. Not only did they help Jiang Nian film, they also stole Bi Zheng’s and Zheng Hao’s Weibos to help promote. Ji Yaling had noticed that the two microblogs were not the words of Bi Zheng and Zheng Hao at first glance. After thinking about it, those posts could only be written by Bi Lei and Zheng Qi.
She suddenly noticed Jiang Nian walking behind Bi Zheng and Zheng Hao, and beside her were Bi Lei, Zheng Qi, and Chen Xin. Because these men were quite tall, Jiang Nian was buried inside them and was not found for a while.
Ji Yaling was shocked and thought she was hallucinating. She rubbed her eyes and found that it really was Jiang Nian!
And Bi Zheng personally pulled open the door of a car before turning back and said, “Jiang jie, please.”
Zheng Hao also looked specifically at Jiang Nian, waiting for her to get on the bus.
....What did she see?!!
Until Bi Zheng and the others left with Jiang Nian, Ji Yaling was still unable to recover from the shock. What did this mean? What did Bi Zheng and Zheng Hao mean? Hadn’t they always disliked Jiang Nian and were unwilling even to invest? Why was their relationship suddenly so good?
Ji Yaling had a headache but, when she saw the news the next day, she was in a better mood. Reporter Liu was really not a good person. Rumors about an unspeakable relationship between Jiang jie and her gold fathers had erupted on the Internet.”My President Daren” once again ranked first in real-time hot search list.
She clicked on the video and, at the same time, countless netizens also saw the news, and opened the matter with a mood ready to see a show. Looking at this title, was it possible that the rumored eldest sister was being raised?
Maybe it was true!
For a while, everyone who was ready to watch the lively and strange crowded in.
The beginning of the video was Jiang Nian and Bi Zheng. The camera was too far to hear what they were saying, but they could clearly see what they looked like. The man was handsome, the woman was beautiful, and now they were alone in a room, how could their imagination not run wild?
[President Bi’s Wife] was furious: “I’ve been green? Husband, am I green? Who’s that goblin? Let go of my husband!”3
There were many wailing like . After all, he’d been recognized as the national gold master father; how could his thigh be held by one person alone? That was really too much! Everyone should be able to hug, ah!
Just when they were excited to condemn Jiang jie, another person suddenly appeared in the camera. Looking closely, wasn’t that Zheng Hao? Why was he here?
“I thought we were catching a tryst, but suddenly it became a love triangle?”
....How exciting! What a thrill!
“This goblin, quickly hold one in the left hand and one in the right, ah! That’s my husband and second husband. If you’re not willing, I’ll do it!”
“Don’t get too excited upstairs. Look, look, my husband’s brother has come!”
The love triangle had just begun, and the little brother actually came here for fun? One younger brother was not enough. Two more came???
One, two, three, four, five....
Although it seemed to be an unspeakable relationship between Jiang Nian and the gold master father, how do you feel something wrong?
Netizens fried. According to people familiar with the matter, how was this a special “illicit relationship between Jiang jie and the golden father”? Wasn’t this a collective visit to the eldest sister?
There were many people who feel this way: “Although the title claims she’s being raised, why don’t I see it?”
“Yes, this is clearly a successful meeting of the eldest sister and the younger brother!”
“Yeah ha ha ha. This is obviously a meeting of the elder sister and her younger brother gold masters. What’s a man? In front of the elder sister, there’s no such thing!”
The feeling of catching a tryst went away; the love triangle did not exist.
The “Jiang jie” who could make such a “wonderful” idol drama must also wonderful herself. How could their husbands have any unspeakable relationship with someone so wonderful?
But it really did become popular on the Internet, because there were pictures and videos. Jiang Nian walking among a few tall and handsome men really gave the feeling of an eldest sister walking a harem of younger brothers. Plus her beautiful and high-profile looks, coupled with her momentum that didn’t lose to the presidents beside her, caused the netizens to express their amazement that the beautiful young lady in the red dress was the legendary Jiang jie? Who would expect that the talent who shot “My President Daren” was so good-looking! Then came unified howling of “my husband is so handsome, my husband is so handsome”. In between the unified “husband is so handsome”, there was another batch of strange comments that gained traction!
“Ah, ah, Jiang jie, I am your younger sister-in-law, come and meet me!”
“Woohoo- husband, why do you go and see Jiang jie and don’t bring me, your little baby?”
“Jiang jie, hurry up and spill where you hid the five million! Otherwise, your ass is grass!”
“Is it just that me who thinks President Bi’s opening of the car door looks so suspicious? You’ve never seen him open the door to anyone before. Plus, Jiang jie and Bi Sad walking together are a good match ah ah ah!”
“No, I think Jiang jie and Zheng Sad are more suitable. Jiang jie with a sultry old man has more of a sense of ‘wow’!”
“Actually, I prefer small milk dogs....”3
“Oh, didn’t you notice? In the previous interview, “My President Daren” said that the crew was really very poor, and the costumes were too poor to rent, so most of them were borrowed from home by the props crew. This home they borrowed from....is it President Bi and President Zheng? I said why some of these items seemed so familiar!”
“Now that you say that, I also noticed something. Before, that publicity weibo for “My President Daren” does not look like my husband’s tone at first glance. Could it be..the younger brother-in-law’s mischief???”
“Damn! Why do I want to laugh thinking of my younger brother-in-law borrowing props from my husband?”
“Thank you, younger brother-in-law, you worked hard. Thanks to your hard work, we didn’t see how poor ‘My President Daren’ really was!”
For a while, ‘thank you for your hard work’ comments swept up like bamboo shoots after the rain. Who would still think about Jiang Nian’s ambiguous relationship with gold fathers, or claim that she worships gold and seduces people?
It was obviously the result that Ji Yaling wanted, but the commentary direction had greatly exceeded Ji Yaling’s expectations! Not to mention Ji Yaling, even Reporter Liu felt faint. His commentary was very easy to make people think.
Why did the little fairy become the big sister?
Ji Yaling was so angry she didn’t want to look at it anymore and almost crushed her phone! Calming herself down, she spent a sum of money hiring sailors to release rumors slandering Jiang Nian, saying that Jiang Nian had a boyfriend but still tried to seduce Bi Zheng and Zheng Hao blah blah blah, but those didn’t make any waves at all. As soon as the comment was issued, it was completely ignored.
Ji Yaling originally planned to reveal Zhao Heng’s identity as boyfriend when Jiang Nian’s scandal broke, but now it seemed impossible. And, whenever she remembered Bi Zheng’s amiable appearance when he opened the door for Jiang Nian, her heart was filled with anger. Obviously,?she?was the lucky one who cared for by fate. Why did Jiang Nian win the favor of these people?
Just when Ji Yaling was most furious, Bi Zheng also saw the news. He also deliberately watched the candid video, and checked his previous Weibo comment promoting “My President Daren”. Before, netizens hadn’t paid too much attention to it. But, it this point, it already had over 200,000 comments and seemed to be increasing as comments one after another asked him why he cheated? What could they say to make him see the reality: little brother and big sister would not have good results!
Bi Zheng: ....:)
Zheng Hao was not going well. He not only had to face the complaints of many wives on the Internet, but also was called a sultry old man, along with having to deal with several family members. Grandma Zheng was also very aggrieved; Haohao and Qiqi went to see Niannian without taking her....
Zheng Hao comforted his grandmother and said he was going to talk about business. It wasn’t anything like what they rumored online. Zheng Qi hummed again: “You secretly kept it from me when going to Jiang jie!”
Zheng Hao glanced at him, speaking very indifferently, “I was invited by Jiang Nian.”
Zheng Qi nodded suddenly and realized: “My elder sister is really too kind and considerate. She didn’t tell us but just insisted on bearing all the responsibilities alone!”
Zheng Hao: “......?”
****
Lao Wei also saw the news, and was particularly amazed by the popularity of the drama. Now that this news was released, it was even more popular. Just look at the surrounding people, which of them wasn’t watching “My President Daren” now that the crew was on lunch break? At this moment, nearly everyone held their mobile phones to watch videos while eating carefully. Maybe one of them can be sprayed with a face full of food by someone’s laughter!
The effect brought by “My President Daren” was amazing. This was obviously a youth love idol drama, but it produced a comedy effect more powerful than a comedy film.
Jiang Nian did have some talents.
And, not to mention, Bi Zheng and Zheng Hao’s relationship with Jiang Nian was so good. It may be nothing to eat together, but Bi Zheng could drive Jiang Nian in person, which was a bit unusual.
Bi Zheng has been in the circle for so long. He’d seen some famous and talented people, but there were really few women who could actually let such a proud man open the door for them. Zheng Hao even more so. His nickname was ‘high cold’.4
Lao Wei couldn’t help wondering a bit was it really that Bi Zheng recognized Jiang Nian as an elder sister? But the last time Bi Zheng sent Jiang Nian and Bi Lei to work, his attitude hadn’t seemed so close.
However, he still advised Zhao Heng not to think so much. The circle was very chaotic and cousins could be made into mortal enemies: “This reporter Liu is a famous crap stick. Stealing private shots out of context is his MO, and few of the news written is true.”
Zhao Heng was surprised for a moment when he saw the news. He knew before that that Bi Zheng and Zheng Hao wouldn’t directly help to promote “My President Daren”. It was just a few sneaky tricks of Bi Lei, Zheng Qi, and Chen Xin. Though it was surprising that Bi Wei and Zheng Hao did not delete Weibo afterwards.
Although he was surprised, he wouldn’t suspect Jiang Nian: “I know. Of course, I won’t believe this kind of thing.”
Even so, he still couldn’t help but miss her more than ever.
It had been a long time since he met Jiang Nian.
Some time ago, Jiang Nian was busy editing, and he was also busy filming. It was common for two people to talk to each other once every two or three days. When he left, he thought he could hold back such thoughts, and he was mainly worried whether Jiang Nian would be able to finish everything alone. After all, the pressure to shoot a drama was quite high. He never expected that Jiang Nian would do better than he thought and was busy with so much success. Thus, the person who eagerly wanted to reunite was him.
He called Jiang Nian, but couldn’t help but pause after hearing Jiang Nian’s voice.
“What’s wrong, are you still worried about today’s news?”
Jiang Nian made a noise. Shouldn’t she be? She was a little fairy. Why was she suddenly turned into an elder sister again? These netizens were really too disheartening!
Zhao Heng smiled: “Don’t worry, some reporters just like to scribble, but now the audience is very smart, they can’t be fooled casually, and public opinion is still good.”
Jiang Nian didn’t feel very happy.
“Do you think so?”
“Of course.”
Zhao Heng looked sternly and said earnestly, “Niannian, do you think I called you because I doubted you? Even if no one believes you, I will absolutely never doubt you, you have to believe in me. I will always believe in you, okay?”
Jiang Nian: “......”
She was still thinking that she could take this opportunity to make a big misunderstanding. But now look. It seemed....she was really perfect. So many people could believe her even when the evidence was stacked against her!
Seeing Jiang Nian silent, Zhao Heng solemnly asked again, “Did you hear me? Don’t think about it, just read the comments online, don’t worry too much.”
Jiang Nian sighed and said, “I know, I won’t think much about it. I didn’t take those comments seriously.”
“That’s good. If you are unhappy, let me know.”
“Hmm.”
Zhao Heng still worried that Jiang Nian thought too much. Director and artist were different, after all. Jiang Nian, who’d never been paid so much attention, suddenly became the focus of discussion. It was reasonable that she could not adapt. He paused and asked Jiang Nian to visit him if she was free.
Jiang Nian actually missed her Tianluo girl. She remembered that she was guarded by three gold master younger brothers last night and had no chance to get close to the gold thighs, so she couldn’t help feeling sad. But, maybe her beauty was really a bit useful, because she found that the two gold lord fathers’ gazes at her were very strong?!! As if brewing very intense emotions but forcing themselves to suppress....
And, yet, they still acted cold to her. Why were these two people so dishonest?
Now that her golden thighs were pretending to be stubborn, and faced with the misunderstanding of the netizens, it was time to go to her Tianluo to comfort her injured little heart.

At the center of ??this scandal, the popularity of “My President Daren” had been rising steadily, and the number of broadcasts soared all the way. During the broadcast that night, under the expectations of many people, Ms. Yao finally used extraordinary means lay off the female lead’s parents and leave her friends unable to find a job! Finally, under the persecution, the female lead was very angry and accepted five million!
....The next scene showed the heroine secretly protecting the five million all the way back to school. The barrage ‘hahaha’ laughed and congratulated. Wasn’t this the moment she waited for? This was a historic moment, the barrage was almost crazy.
[Shi Guanyin]: “Ha ha ha ha ha ha so touching, it makes people cry. The heroine really suffered a great grievance!”
[A Tuan]: “Distressed for the heroine, The huge sum of money is finally available, but you can’t spend it immediately, and instead must hold on to your own grievances.”
[Miscellaneous Fans]: “After waiting for a long time, she finally received five million yuan. The next step is the to plan the arduous task of using up the five million!”
[Lemon]: “My eyes have confirmed it, it’s the little money I’ve been waiting for!”
[Doudou]: “Cheques cannot be crumpled! Cheques cannot be crumpled! Be careful not to hurt the check!”
[Bi Zong]: “....This sand sculpture is too terrible!”
[President Bi’s Wife]: “Oh, is my husband upstairs? Husband, look at me, I am your baby wife!”
Bi Zheng shut off the video, rubbed the slightly raised corners of his stiff mouth, and rubbed his frozen face. Although he really wanted to see the story behind, although it was only the matter of one word, he would never give in to this sand sculpture mudslide. It was even more impossible to let his brother and Jiang jie know that he was chasing the drama!
Thinking of the “Xiaojiao Wife Runs with a Ball and Buys Property all Over the World” Jiang Nian was going to shoot, he had some inexplicable expectations?
He was suddenly shocked and jumped up from the bed like a carp.
....So terrible, was he also brainwashed now???
He should go to the “The Spy” crew to explore the class to save his aesthetics being destroyed.
He could not help but send Zheng Hao a text message: “Did you peek?”
Zheng Hao cut off the video and threw the tablet under the bed before replying one word, “ah?”
Bi Zheng: “Don’t bother playing dumb, ah. Don’t think I don’t know.”
Zheng Hao: “So you peeked before you thought I peeked?”
Bi Zheng: “....”
Zheng Hao: “......”
Forget it, first let’s protect their little passbooks.
1. Powerhouses.^
2. ‘Green’ is a euphemistic way of saying you’ve been cheated on. Similar phrases include: ‘wearing a green hat’, ‘green over his/her head’, ‘green grassland/prairie on his/her head’ etc. Basically, if it’s green and it’s on/over someone’s head or body, that person is likely being cheated on. Naturally, this is still a joke as the person jokingly calls Bi Zheng her husband.?^
3. Little bit more netizen speech for ya.’small xx dog’ is a term that refers to boys/men younger than the women they date, particularly those who look between 18-24 years old or so. Those in that not a boy, not yet a man type stage. ‘xx’ in the phrase is a noun that describes the personality of the guy. So ’small milk dog’ = sweet/cute younger guy- the kind that makes you want to ‘awww’ like a puppy. There are other types such as ’small wolf dog’ which is an aggressive younger guy. Like the kind that will throw you down without warning..?^
4. Hard to talk to/approach, doesn’t pay normal people the time of day. High refers to his status, cold refers to his personality.
