The Twenty-Fourth Night (1)
Going by the principle of what the eye doesn’t see, the heart doesn’t grieve over, Feng Jing didn’t continue to browse Weibo. Instead, he looked at the circle of friends of Da Keke Purchase. In the past few days, they sent more videos and pictures of purchases than usual, and occasionally sent out some photos of them playing outside.
When Jiang Ran returns to China, I need to find a reason to still meet her. So he ordered another ten boxes of facial masks from her.

Zhao Ke and Jiang Ran were eating outside at the moment.
When she saw the notification about one Mr. Feng, Zhao Ke seemed to have recalled something. She as soon asked Jiang Ran who sat opposite her, “Mr. Feng, is he your neighbor?”
Jiang Ran glanced at Zhao Ke’s mobile phone screen and nodded. “Yes, he has pre-stored 10,000 yuan with me, and he hasn’t used it up yet! The money of the facial masks could be deducted from there directly.”
“10,000 yuan?!” Zhao Ke looked at Jiang Ran in surprise. “Yo-your neighbor trusts you too much!”
“Haha, I think so. Maybe because he thinks that since I’m his neighbor, I can’t run away.”
Zhao Ke said nothing at the moment. But after a spoonful of ice cream, she said, “And so, we will stop by the cosmetics store and get some facial masks. Your neighbor is so liberal with money.”
Jiang Ran couldn’t agree more. “Yeah, all for his big sister! Why don’t I have such a little brother?!”
“Er … Now that the policy of the second child has opened, if your parents try hard, perhaps it’s possible.”
Jiang Ran: “—”
Jiang Ran took a spoonful of ice cream and steered the conversation away from Mr. Feng. “When are you going to return to China?”
“I don’t want to go back at all. My mother now urges me to go back to blind dates.” Zhao Ke felt agonized.
“Then obey your mother! Anyway, blind dates have now become the trend for eligible men and women to get acquainted.”
Zhao Ke rolled her eyes directly. “The one that my mother introduced to me, he said that he wants to look for a family-oriented woman, he’s basically looking for a nanny. He said that after I married him, I would not have to work and he would even give me a monthly allowance. Really, I’m not complaining about him, but when he said allowance, I think, the money won’t even be enough for my monthly game expenses.”
“Haha!” Jiang Ran laughed aloud.
Zhao Ke was all by herself in a foreign land, it was only natural to feel isolated and desolate. She, therefore, relied on games to relieve her boredom every day. The money she put into the gaming averaged several thousand every month.
Jiang Ran said, “You spent many years studying, and rather than work, you’ll just be a nanny of his family. It’s truly ridiculous!”
“Yes, my mother said that I must have a job, but she still wanted me to go back and meet him … To fly back to meet the man, how unwanted must I be that men do not want to marry me,” Zhao Ke said and then fretfully waved her hands, “Ah, let’s not talk about this anymore, and instead think about what to eat at night!”
After finishing their ice creams, the two went to another scenic spot. When they passed the cosmetics store, they went in and bought a bunch of facial masks. In the evening, Zhao Ke brought Jiang Ran to dine at a Japanese-style barbecue.
Jiang Ran set down her shopping bag, took up her mobile phone, and started to browse Weibo.
Zhao Ke put the beef on the roasting pan, looked at her, and said, “Are you just gonna let me do this alone? “
“Uh, you barbecue the first half, I’ll do the second half.”
Zhao Ke: “—”
By now, Jiang Ran had already logged in to Weibo, and as soon as she entered, she saw today’s most trending post …
《Feng Jing, what a poser!》
Jiang Ran: “—”
There really was quite a lot of news about Feng Jing recently. She clicked into the post and found that it was published by a showbiz gossip account. This account belonged to a self-proclaimed ‘insider’ who regularly leaked celebrities’ private information and news, and who also collected contributions by other anonymous netizens who proclaimed themselves ‘insiders’ too. This post was one such contribution.
【Anonymous: I saw some guys say Feng Jing’s Mo Zhen’s follower, it was really funny! ‘Secret’, wasn’t this the movie where it was not Feng Jing who wanted it but instead the producer that begged him to act in?
Feng Jing has imposed a condition that the work must be stopped before midnight, otherwise, he’ll refuse to film. What could the producer do? They had to agree to his condition. After all, the man’s popularity was very high.】
The post fermented quickly on the internet. Some people from the media that had an axe to grind, took this chance and frantically reposted《Feng Jing, what a poser!》.
Feng Jing learned about the news through Qin Fan over the phone. He didn’t know if the “Don’t Be Angry” that he had quoted earlier worked or not. But facing the post 《Feng Jing, what a poser!》, there wasn’t any undulation in his heart.
-
- Don’t respond first. We’re going to say you’re not well and the doctor has advised you not to stay up late. I will also communicate with the producer, I hope they clarify for you.
During the negotiations with the producer, Qin Fan had cited health reasons for putting forth the condition that Feng Jing’s filming schedule should not go past midnight. It’s easy to explain now.
“Understood.”
-
- Ok.
Qin Fan hung up the phone after explaining to Feng Jing, and got to work.
That very night, Tian Qin Entertainment’s official account released a statement on Weibo that clarified the issue of Feng Jing’s request of only working until midnight was due to health reasons and not the malicious speculation of someone that Feng Jing was a poser. Universe Pictures’s official Weibo also forwarded the post that it was a decision based on the assurance of guaranteed filming progress, only then had the two companies agreed to Feng Jing’s condition.
Although the two companies had issued their statements, the netizens who watched for fun would definitely not stop at that. After Tian Qin Entertainment published their clarification on Weibo, another post quickly ranked on the top search.
The post was titled 《Cinderella》.
【Just curiosity, what’s the matter with your Film Emperor Feng Jing’s health that prevents him from working past midnight? Will he transform after 12 o’clock? Like Cinderella? [Munches melon seeds] 】
After the combined efforts of Tian Qin and Feng Jing’s fans, this post of 《Feng Jing, what a poser!》 was quickly pressed down by other posts. Instead, 《Code Name Cinderella》 rose on the search ranks.
