Chapter 23 Why is this arrogant old lady giving up?!
Jiang Mingyue's menstrual cycle was irregular and her flow was light. Today is the third day, and it's almost over.
She took a lot of energy to bring Beatrix out yesterday morning, so it would be best if she didn't go into the water tonight.
She accepted Wei Lai's kindness without a second thought, since she had already announced her retirement from the entertainment industry and wasn't afraid of being criticized by netizens for being unprofessional.
"Then I'll have to trouble you, Brother Wei."
"Don't mention it, it's nothing."
Afterwards, the five people took their luggage to their respective rooms and then went to the restaurant together for dinner.
In order not to spoil the filming of "Life's a Journey", Wei Lai and her team ended their live broadcast. Although the viewers who watched the show were disappointed, there was nothing they could do.
Actually, we can accept 24-hour live streaming.
It's hard not to agree.
[We strongly recommend that Changyou Life also start live streaming.]
[There's no need to activate the app; it's already the variety show with the most leaked information.]
What difference does it make if the world has one more rich person like me?! God, don't force me to kneel down and beg you!
The hotel's second-floor restaurant.
It was lunchtime, and there were quite a few guests coming to eat, mostly blond-haired, blue-eyed foreigners.
Wei Lai and her four companions were all strikingly good-looking, attracting attention from all directions as soon as they entered the restaurant.
They were used to it, and Ji Wenxuan even chatted with the tourists in a very generous manner.
The five of them chose to dine on the large outdoor terrace. Although the temperature was a bit low in the evening, it wasn't very cold.
Wei Lai handed the menu to Jiang Mingyue first, saying, "Tonight, Taiqi will pay the bill. Let's eat our fill."
Jiang Mingyue didn't like the noodles here; they tasted strange. So she ordered a pineapple seafood fried rice with a vegetable salad and a hot drink.
Don Juan and the others didn't order much; it was mostly noodles or fried rice, just enough to fill their stomachs.
Coincidentally, during the meal, we ran into three male guests from the show "Enjoy Life," all of whom were popular young male celebrities.
Upon seeing Don Juan and his companions, the three of them very tactfully came over to greet them.
New talents are constantly emerging in the entertainment industry. Tang Huang did not recognize the three people, and Wei Lai and Ji Wenxuan exchanged a few words with him.
"During the match later, you three should go easy on your older brothers. Don't make us lose too badly. I'll treat you to dinner when we get back to China."
The three of them didn't hesitate and nodded with smiles in agreement.
After they left, Meng Qinzhou pressed on, "Brother Wei, Brother Ji, how do you know Fei Ming, Gu Quan, and Ye Tao?"
Ji Wenxuan: "I have acted opposite Fei Ming. He just entered the industry last year. He graduated from Beijing Film Academy and his acting skills are good."
Wei Lai: "I acted in a play with Gu Quan, and coincidentally, we were from the same hometown."
Ji Wenxuan added, "As for Ye Tao, he's a singer from Hong Kong. He wrote and composed a very popular background music track on Langyin last year."
The variety show "Travel Through Life" invites three male guests and two female guests each episode. All five guests are single and randomly choose a travel city to spend three days together. It is similar to a dating show, but not quite.
The chemistry between the five people is the biggest highlight of the show.
The assistant director had informed the two female guests from Changyou in advance, thinking that Tang Huang and Jiang Mingyue would give some feedback, but the two of them were surprisingly calm.
Clearly, they didn't take Haiwei and Tanli seriously.
However, in order to avoid damaging the relationship, the assistant director spoke with the director of Changyou in advance to try to prevent any unexpected problems during their interaction tonight.
The director of Changyou is also clear-headed. To be honest, Changyou's popularity is not as high as Maozong's. This encounter in Tao City is also fate, so naturally it should be mutually beneficial.
At the end of dinner, Jiang Mingyue also met two female fans. Judging from their clothes and appearance, the two girls were obviously rich heiresses who had come specifically to watch the show.
The two girls were excited and nervous. Perhaps afraid that Jiang Mingyue would refuse, they did not dare to ask for a photo together, but only handed over the handwritten letter.
"Sister Jiang, these are local postcards, they're not worth much, but we hope you'll accept them as a small token of our appreciation."
Jiang Mingyue frowned; she didn't want to accept it.
During the stalemate, Wei Lai took the package from them, smiling and telling them to go home early and not to follow the production crew, as it wasn't safe.
The two girls, having managed to strike up a conversation with a celebrity, paid no attention to anything else, nodding vigorously and walking away with big smiles.
“Mingyue, don’t keep a straight face. You’ll scare your fans away, and they might even turn against you. If they’re unhappy, they might go online and accuse you of being arrogant and having a sour face.”
Wei Lai handed her the postcard and shared his experience as someone who had been through it all.
Ji Wenxuan smiled and agreed, "Brother Wei is right. Even if you find it troublesome, just accept it first and deal with it later."
According to the company rules, Wei Lai and others cannot accept gifts from fans, but they can take handwritten letters. All letters must be handed over to the company for processing to avoid unnecessary trouble.
Jiang Mingyue reluctantly accepted the postcards handed to her by Wei Lai. "It's not that I'm being arrogant, I just feel that I can't make an exception. If there's one, there will be two. When I go back to my hometown before the New Year, I'll definitely sell these as scrap."
Jiang Mingyue's blunt honesty left Wei Lai and the others speechless. They stopped trying to persuade her, realizing that everyone has their own principles and that they should learn to respect them.
Later that evening, the guests from the variety show and the swimming pool, led by the directors from both sides, successfully met at the indoor swimming pool on the first floor of the hotel.
The guests from both sides first engaged in some casual interaction. Since the men had met Fei Ming and her two companions at the restaurant before, they got along quite well. However, the atmosphere among the three female guests was rather subtle.
Of the three, actress Hai Wei is the most senior. She is wearing a conservatively designed one-piece swimsuit and is sitting in a chair talking to someone.
Jiang Mingyue should have gone over to say hello first.
To everyone's surprise, Jiang Mingyue only glanced at Haiwei before looking away without even saying hello.
Not only that, she was very cold to the overly enthusiastic Tan Li, which seemed to confirm the rumors of discord among the Clover girl group members.
Both directors, staff, and male guests: "..."
Unexpected!
The cameras from both sides captured the reactions of everyone present, and everyone looked extremely embarrassed.
The assistant director was extremely anxious. Teacher Jiang was really his great-aunt! The show was being filmed at this crucial moment, and she was just slacking off! He didn't want Teacher Haiwei to hold a grudge later.
Just as the assistant director was about to speak up to smooth things over, Don Juan coughed lightly, drawing everyone's attention.
"It seems like it's been more than ten years since I last saw Haiwei. She still looks as young as I remember."
The Best Actor took the initiative to chat with the Best Actress, instantly diverting everyone's attention. Everyone was very curious about this on-screen couple, wondering if they had ever been rumored to be dating.
While Haiwei and Tang Huang were exchanging pleasantries, Tan Li turned her back to everyone and approached Jiang Mingyue.
Tan Li lowered her voice and said, "Jiang Mingyue, if you won't give me face, at least give Sister Min some face. Sister Min also helped you to terminate the contract smoothly."
If it weren't for the high popularity of variety shows, who would be willing to participate in the game?
Jiang Mingyue didn't even lift her eyelids, her gaze fixed on the distance. "If I didn't give you face, I wouldn't have cooperated to participate in the filming."
Seeing this, Tan Li snorted disdainfully and stopped trying to win her over.
Just wait, after tonight someone will definitely expose that Jiang Mingyue disrespected Haiwei, and then the number of fans Jiang Mingyue gained in the past few days will definitely drop back.
Tan Li walked to the side to greet Wei Lai and the others.
Jiang Mingyue raised her left hand and put it into the left pocket of her coat. The little figure woven with colorful rope was surprisingly hot. She used her thumb to comfort Betty, her gaze inadvertently falling on Haiwei.
Don't worry, with her around, all the demons and monsters are just paper tigers.
