Chapter 38 [Updated] She couldn't tell herself either...
Please do not disturb: [When Mr. Miao first became wealthy, he lived in this area downtown, in a building with many other businesses, and he frequently visited people up and down the stairs.]
Please don't bother others: [The adults are familiar with each other, so the children have naturally formed their own little circle.]
Please don't bother me: [However, the social atmosphere wasn't very good back then; many kids liked to hang out and occasionally did some messy things.]
Please do not disturb: [Grandpa Miao's daughter had dated people upstairs and downstairs, and even people from other buildings... Then it seems she suddenly got pregnant, but they didn't know who the father was. Grandpa Miao took her to the hospital for an abortion, and the whole family moved back to Miao Village.]
Please don't bother me: [His daughter eventually married a math teacher at the school next to their village, and they had a daughter named Miao Xiaoyun.]
This time, we definitely won't lose money: [Tsk tsk tsk, I can't believe there's such a thing.]
The stunningly beautiful Su Yunruo: [Education has truly been a major challenge since ancient times.]
She finally understood Miao Xiaoyun's situation. Because of her mother's affair, Grandpa Miao was afraid, so he kept his granddaughter away to prevent her from associating with bad people, hoping to raise her to be an ordinary person, find a job, find a man, and live a stable life.
I wonder what Grandpa Miao would think if he knew that his granddaughter had not only been deceived by Zhou Kantian, but had also been swindled out of tens of millions of yuan.
Su Yunruo privately forwarded the information she had found to Cheng Bapi: 【Make up a reason to show it to Old Master Miao.】
Please don't bother me: 【Why don't you give it to yourself?】
I recently gave his precious granddaughter a hard time, so I don't dare to do it again.
I knew you weren't up to any good by suddenly asking about Grandpa Miao.
[Hahaha, isn't this all for our bright future? I think I can get Grandpa Miao and his men to switch sides at the last minute.]
"Then I'm relieved about that. With Grandpa Miao on my side, basically no one will dare to oppose me." Cheng Bapi thought for a moment, "By the way, I've noticed something's off with Han Shicheng lately. He's been hanging out too much with some good-for-nothing scum."
Su Yunruo had already heard from a second person that something was wrong with the male protagonist in the original book.
Su Yunruo: [What do you think?]
[I know all this, which means a lot of people are saying something's wrong with him.]
[That makes sense, after all, you're completely immune to gossip; you're usually the last to know about these things.]
There are recent rumors that Han Shicheng's father intends to take his ex-wife's son back. I've had contact with Han Shicheng before; he's a deep thinker, and perhaps his "fall from grace" is just a temporary escape.
It seems every family has its own drama.
A few days later, Su Yunruo heard that for the first time, Old Master Miao used his status to pressure people and, through a scheme organized by Zhang Wenhao, the general manager of VV Video, got back the tens of millions that Miao Xiaoyun had invested.
However, Miao Xiaoyun had only managed to raise that money by selling her house in a good location, so it was impossible for her to buy back her original house.
Not only did Zhou Kantian lose his leading role this time, but Grandpa Miao also invested money in VV Video, declaring that any drama featuring Zhou Kantian would not be broadcast on VV Video.
It's a partial ban.
However, the good news didn't last long before bad news followed.
A director who had previously taken his works to the three major international film festivals returned to China to make a film, and Zhou Kantian was handpicked as the male lead. Rumor has it that several big-name film stars will be supporting him.
Zhou Kantian's fans went wild online.
Before they could even pop the champagne to celebrate, a major brand officially announced Zhou Kantian as its spokesperson.
With resources poured in and marketing efforts underway, Zhou Kantian became an overnight sensation, even appearing in the "male god poll" that Ke Jinyang shared in a group chat.
Ke Jinyang: [/smile, how many votes did you buy? More than the combined votes of the three biggest scooter victims in this group.]
[The director's casting was rumored before, and I thought it would be Fan Xingchen, but I didn't expect him to choose someone who acts in TV dramas.]
Can it really carry the box office?
[The director himself is a box office guarantee, and he's cast many film stars in supporting roles, clearly to promote Zhou Kantian. Perhaps once the film is released, awards will be on the horizon. Should we take the gamble? Zhou Kantian will definitely sweep the three major domestic awards with this film.]
[Then Fan Xingchen wouldn't be the only actor from the new generation to win an award.]
[Wait a minute, my agent said the director's film this time is a martial arts movie, and Zhou Kantian was chosen because he can ride a horse. Weren't the three of you all arguing about horseback riding a while ago? Why don't you go try it out? @Ke Jinyang @Hu Yang @Fan Xingchen]
Ke Jinyang: [Is it that I don't want to? /smile]
Hu Yang: [Is it that I don't want to? /smile]
[Where's Fan Xingchen? Wasn't Fan Xingchen always aiming for an award? Why isn't she going? What happened to her ambition?]
As soon as Su Yunruo opened the group chat, she saw that everyone was tagging Fan Xingchen. Scrolling up the chat history, she realized that they were all concerned about Zhou Kantian's matter, so she joined the chat.
This pancake is really amazing; you should try it if you have the chance.
Fan Xingchen, who had been repeatedly tagged but hadn't responded, chimed in: [The female lead is Pei Xue.]
【oh--】
Ke Jinyang: [You're so superstitious about this? Did you ever date her?]
Su Yunruo exclaimed as if she'd stumbled upon some juicy gossip: "Wow, really?"
Fan Xingchen: [I don't like her.]
The usually taciturn person unusually continued replying to messages in the group: "So concerned, do you have a crush on her?"
Su Yunruo followed up with, "[Yeah, why do you immediately start talking about dating? You like someone?]"
Ke Jinyang didn't reply for a long time, making everyone in the group who were waiting to see what happened increasingly anxious, until Hu Yang sent a message: "[The director of 'Let's Travel Together' contacted me, saying that Zhou Kantian has other schedules this week and asked me to fill in.]"
Su Yunruo thought that if Hu Yang wanted to go, he would probably do it quietly like Ke Jinyang and give everyone a surprise. The fact that he asked her now clearly meant he was waiting for her opinion.
[If you're busy, just decline. It's pointless to keep rehashing old ideas.]
Hu Yang: [OK! I'll refuse.]
[Ruoruo, is that assistant really a hater of yours? Did she take any private photos of you? I've seen a lot of marketing accounts online advertising that "Su Yunruo's assistant secretly took and leaked photos."]
The group chat fell silent immediately.
Ke Jinyang, who is usually quite talkative, didn't say anything or send a "/smile" emoji to save face for the king of awkward silence.
Su Yunruo: [I don't sleep with my assistant, so why does she have my private photos?]
Have you paid attention to this when changing clothes?
Su Yunruo searched for photos of herself in a swimsuit from the drama and posted them in the group chat. [Didn't you all see this kind of thing on set? Ke Jinyang stood next to me and compared leg lengths, and he still lost.]
Hahahaha
[Oh no, the director told me to prepare for tears, but you've made me laugh so hard I'm dying.]
Su Yunruo posted a cute emoji: "Anyway, everything online is completely fabricated. My assistant might have a little bit of a past scandal, but she never made any mistakes while working with me. I fired her simply because things got so out of hand, and I needed to give an explanation to my fans who genuinely like me. So please don't judge her if you run into her in the future."
Ke Jinyang: [/Angry. The only victim here wants to defend himself: I have longer legs than Su Yunruo, the TV series can attest to that!]
Of course you look taller than her when you're on the scooter. The director didn't dare shoot a long shot of that scene. Don't you understand why?
[Bullshit! I definitely have the longest legs. The masses have the best eyes. Let's get to the voting now.]
That night, among the many male god polls, a unique poll suddenly appeared that attracted countless netizens to click on – which male star has the longest legs.
Hu Yang, Fan Xingchen, and Ke Jinyang, being frequent voters, naturally made the list. Zhou Kantian, whose resources have been greatly upgraded in the past few days, was also nominated.
But here's the problem: how do we compare them?
Netizens are wise, netizens are intelligent, netizens are omnipotent, and netizens are also outrageous.
As a result, fans from different groups started comparing their idols from afar, looking for benchmarks to compare them to, all in an effort to make their idols the tallest and most beautiful in the Chinese entertainment industry.
For example, Ke Jinyang once took a photo on the roof of the A building of the hotel. Netizens went to the site to measure it themselves and speculated that Ke Jinyang's leg length, without taking his waist and hips into account, was about 85cm or more.
Years ago, an actor had his leg length measured on a variety show and confirmed to be 80cm. This actor acted alongside Fan Xingchen, and they appeared significantly shorter at the same leg length, so Fan Xingchen's leg length is probably also 85cm or more...
After comparing and contrasting each other, each side had their own reasons, and their fans almost came to blows with their keyboards.
Until an unnamed hero bravely pointed out, "Didn't someone stand with all four of them before?"
That's right.
Netizens had to watch the TV series "Let's Travel Together" to prove who has the longest legs by watching Su Yunruo's videos.
For example, the most obvious example is when Zhou Kantian and Su Yunruo raced horses. The two horses were about the same height, so their legs...
For example, in a long shot, Su Yunruo is standing next to the male lead, and her legs...
As netizens searched, they realized something was off.
Good heavens! It seems like Su Yunruo has the longest legs!
What's scary is that Su Yunruo is shorter than all of them.
...
Su Yunruo was sitting at home when good fortune came from heaven.
The moment she opened her eyes, she was dubbed "the longest-legged beauty in the Chinese entertainment industry."
Su Yunruo posted a screenshot of #SuYunruo'sLongLegsInTheEntertainmentInChina# to a group chat: 【@KeJinyang, you flatter me.】
Ke Jinyang: [Smiling, today we were filming a happy ending scene, and the director asked me why I was crying so hard.]
Hahahaha
After laughing it off, the matter was over, and Su Yunruo didn't pay much attention to this entry.
She had the idea of stepping back from the spotlight. If the assistant position became vacant, she would move back to her house on the island in the lake. Her personal assistant was changed to her own housekeeper, and Jiang Chunrou took over most of the work coordination.
There have been many big events in the entertainment circle recently. Zhou Kantian and Pei Xue's new drama was unfortunately reported to have a different male lead, but then a famous director cast the two in a movie, and they are preparing to collaborate again. The CP fans they had accumulated on the red carpet were overjoyed.
In particular, Pei Xue not only shows signs of becoming a movie star, but also attended a private banquet hosted by a foreign celebrity, standing in the center position. Rumors circulated that she might be making her way into Hollywood.
Su Yunruo, who was also a rising star in the anti-Japanese war drama, was inevitably compared to others.
Especially since Pei Xue was overshadowed by Su Yunruo on the red carpet last time, the situation has completely reversed, and Pei Xue's fans are celebrating.
[Who said Su Yunruo was dominant over Pei Xue? Was it in her dreams?]
[Hilarious! Go ahead and jump on the bandwagon, you pig-fans! Your idol is still acting in brainless idol dramas, while Xuexue is already making movies and going international. Even if you gave her 100 years, she wouldn't catch up.]
[Su Yunruo is only good for variety shows, so she might as well just stay a variety show personality and not ruin her dramas and movies... Oh, I misspoke, she can't act in movies.]
[Who's really enjoying this? I am! Hahaha, all they do is release press releases bragging about their collections of haute couture pieces. They should at least show some real substance.]
[Stop talking, I'm afraid the pig fans will cry.]
[Your sister should worry about herself first. Hiring a hater as an assistant and spreading her private photos in various gossip groups is disgusting.]
【I have those photos too, aren't you afraid I'll post them and make your sister never be able to hold her head up in public again?】
[Your sister is really brave! She even leaked nude photos, and still dares to market herself as having long legs. DM me if you want to see them. Su Yunruo is flat-chested and has no figure!]
As the situation escalated to the point where Su Yunruo was attacked and trending on social media, Youqian Entertainment's public relations department stepped in, doing what they were most skilled at: removing the trending topic and reducing the heat.
Being a female celebrity means you never know why you're suddenly being criticized, why you're trending on social media, or what incidents you've suddenly gotten involved in. Su Yunruo was used to it; Jiang Chunrou didn't even need to report these ordinary arguments and comparisons to her.
Su Yunruo only cared about whether there was any connection between Pei Xue, Zhou Kantian, and Han Shicheng, and what kind of unreliable relationship they had.
Sitting on the sofa, quietly sipping tea, the butler specially prepared some tea snacks for me. The light flavors neutralized the bitterness in the tea.
It was a rare moment when nothing was bothering her, and she dealt with many things that had been weighing on her mind.
For example, Tuya's husband's company.
Su Yunruo asked Tao Minmin and learned that Tuya had been sent back to her hometown to rest during her pregnancy, and that her husband seemed to be keeping a young and beautiful model as a mistress.
For example, Xiao Ou.
Su Yunruo finally sent a message to Jiang Chunrou, asking her to transfer Xiao Ou's sister and Xiao Ou to the company that Ruan Rourou had signed with.
The plot is set up so that Xiao Ou will become Ruan Rourou's assistant, and reality is developing in that direction, so she will be a good person and take the initiative to send Xiao Ou there.
Besides, she also needed to place her own people in Ruan Rourou's company, otherwise she would only get the news the next day if Ruan Rourou did something.
For example, Fu Huai.
Su Yunruo thought the lyrics prepared by Fu Huai were not good enough.
The script tells the story of how the female protagonist rises from a lowly refugee to become the founding empress who ends the chaos of war. In Fu Huai's understanding, the female protagonist's path to becoming empress was a helpless act, driven by the need for survival, self-preservation, and the ideals of her deceased husband. Therefore, the lyrics are filled with pain and criticism of the injustice of fate.
Su Yunruo suggested he change his perspective. If he had the ambition to be an emperor, the female lead would definitely say, "I'm awesome, I'm amazing," not, "My life is so miserable, I need to be saved!"
Fu Huai sent a string of ellipses, but at least he understood what she wanted from her simple language, and went back to writing songs.
For example, xxx.
Su Yunruo drove herself out and followed her memory to the old location of the Garden Community.
The area wasn't considered suburbs, and the demolished buildings were quickly replaced by new residential communities. The properties sold out immediately upon opening, and the area was complemented by supermarkets and shopping malls, serving residents within a few kilometers. Even on weekdays, the area was bustling with activity.
The car was parked on the side of the road for a very long time.
She thought that if she ran into him, she would roll down the car window and say "long time no see," and then ask him what he was doing out of curiosity.
But how do we recognize it?
It's been so many years, I can't remember what he looks like anymore. The last time I vaguely remembered him, I didn't go home to look at my high school photos, so the effect was practically zero.
Moreover, people change. Look at her as an 18-year-old doll; compared to her now, neither looks like the other, let alone the real person.
Even though I've forgotten what he looks like, I still remember him.
The most direct feeling I get when I'm with him is comfort.
For example, there are a few annoying people in the school. Su Yunruo said: I want to deal with these people.
He said: I want to too.
Su Yunruo said: I'm preparing...
He would respond half-jokingly: After doing all this, you can establish a school rule, and then you'll be the most authoritative high school student in the school.
For example, at her mother's stall, she said she didn't really want to eat fried rice with eggs.
He said he did too.
Then he continued: But if others like it, fried rice can make money.
It might not be too difficult to find someone in the world with whom she can get along, but it is indeed very difficult for that person to be on the same wavelength as her and also have extraordinary talent.
So I still felt very regretful when I graduated.
Su Yunruo once thought that she really didn't yearn for love. If she had to choose someone for the sake of her family, she would choose someone she could talk to and who could also be technically skilled.
After all, having earned a doctorate, I finally realized that I didn't have a talent for scientific research.
Pfft
Now, when she examines her perceptions from years ago, she suddenly realizes that her thoughts have been revolving around that person, and that she was so angry back then because he didn't follow the path she had asked him to take.
If we take that path, perhaps we really will end up together.
