Huayu 2021: Isn’t he in the technology field?

Chapter 151 Dilraba's Initiative Causes a Public Outcry
While Han Zijie was adjusting the microphone on stage, Dilraba subtly turned to the side as she adjusted her skirt.

"I heard that when Teacher Jiang was filming the scene where he was eating steamed buns, there were so many takes that the props team had to mix flour all night?"

She parted her red lips slightly, her eyes sparkling with allure.

Jiang Qing was idly sketching on the process booklet with a fountain pen when he heard this, his pen paused, and he looked up with a helpless expression.

"Director Sun is going to expose this just for traffic?"

He kept his eyes on the stage as he spoke, but his hand folded the crumpled paper into a square.

"Later, the production assistant taught me to hold ice cubes in my mouth to prevent burns."

The sudden burst of applause drowned out Dilraba's giggles.

Cheng Xiao, sitting in the back row, saw her cover her mouth and shrink back in her chair, her shoulders shaking as she laughed uncontrollably, her lips involuntarily tightening.

Why did she feel that this top female celebrity was not reserved at all?

On stage, Han Zijie was introducing the platform's annual data. Jiang Qing wasn't really interested in listening to his sermons, so she lowered her voice and started chatting with Reba.

"The person we should thank most is the owner of the steamed bun shop."

"Ok?"

Dilraba leaned forward instinctively, her nose almost touching his shoulder line.

From this angle, viewed from the back row, the two are almost face-to-face.

Liu Yifei tightened her grip on her handbag, seemingly focused on the stage, but her eyes kept glancing at Jiang Qing and the other person out of the corner of her eye.

She casually adjusted her shawl and turned to look at her assistant beside her.

"Give me lip balm."

The voice was half an octave higher than usual, causing several investors in the front row to turn around and look.

"Therefore, we will be launching twelve key drama series this year..."

Han Zijie's summary was interrupted by a sudden burst of laughter.

Dilraba was trying to hide her laughter by covering her face with the program booklet, while Jiang Qing pretended to cough by pressing her fist to her mouth, but the camera caught them in the act.

Han Zijie's initially displeased expression vanished upon seeing the two of them, and he even jokingly invited them to come on stage later to share what funny things they had been talking about, which caused a burst of laughter from the audience.

After the joke, Han Zijie continued speaking.

When Cheng Xiao counted the third producer who was secretly taking pictures with his phone, she discovered that Yang Wei was also secretly taking pictures of Jiang Qing and Reba.

From her angle, you could see that Dilraba's eyes were brimming with tears of laughter in the camera's view. Jiang Qing handed her the bottled water that had been unscrewed, which she naturally accepted.

What's so funny?

And didn't you two get to know each other too quickly?

Cheng Xiao lost control of his expression and pursed his lips as he looked at the two people chatting happily.

"Did they actually use ice later?"

Reba gulped down her saliva, and the tip of her nose glistened with water droplets.

Jiang Qing poked her cheek with the end of her pen.

"It was so cold here that the wind was blowing through our ears when we spoke."

Dilraba burst out laughing, her radiant smile attracting the attention of many people around her.

Although many people were unhappy, they could only suppress their anger when they saw that it was Jiang Qing who made Dilraba laugh.

Although Jiang Qing is just a new actor in the film and television industry, anyone with a little knowledge of the industry knows that he can become a sugar daddy anytime he wants.

The promotional video "You Are My Glory" started playing on stage, and the booming sound effects gave Dilraba an excuse to move closer.

She covered her mouth, almost touching Jiang Qing's earlobe.

"I heard that you made the director laugh when you had to do a NG (take) of your kissing scene?"

The fragrant breath brushed against my ear, making me feel all tingly.

Jiang Qing was somewhat surprised by her boldness, but did not deliberately avoid her.

"I had no experience and ended up making a fool of myself."

I don't know when it started, but he said these things as easily as drinking water.

To outsiders, the two appeared to be whispering sweet nothings, displaying a very intimate relationship.

Many people at the scene exchanged glances, wondering what the two were talking about.

Cheng Xiao bit her lower lip, a feeling of jealousy rising inexplicably in her heart.

She saw behind-the-scenes photos from the film crew flashing through Jiang Qing's phone album, and Dilraba's fingertips swiped the screen slower and slower.

In one of the photos, Jiang Qing has messy hair, and the background is under a dim street lamp, with the outline of the sea faintly visible.

"Sis, it's time to wait in the wings."

When her assistant reminded her for the third time, Dilraba was pointing at a photo and asking for details.

"Shouldn't Ms. Dilraba go ahead and get busy?"

Jiang Qing glanced at her assistant beside her and suggested with a smile.

"Okay, let's talk again later."

Dilraba smiled sweetly and curled her red lips at him.

Jiang Qing nodded slightly, leaned back in his chair, and gazed at her.

Dilraba smiled sweetly and gracefully rose to walk towards the corridor.

The spotlight followed her swaying figure, and the shimmering light on her platinum dress even overshadowed the large screen on the stage.

Cheng Xiao heard a clear shutter sound behind her and saw that Yang Wei had set the snapshot as his wallpaper.

"Teacher Reba, look this way!"

"Flip your hair to the left!"

"Dilraba! Please show us your face!"

……

Amidst the cheers, Dilraba rushed straight to the stage, climbed the steps, and, with the gentlemanly assistance of Han Zijie, stood in the center of the stage.

Suddenly, she switched the microphone to her left hand, made a shooting gesture with her right hand towards the media area, and even gave a playful wink.

The sound of camera shutters instantly turned into a downpour, and Jiang Qing's posture of holding up the process booklet to cover her face was captured in countless shots.

Reba was facing Jiang Qing, and this gesture could be interpreted in many ways.

But everyone present knew that given the interaction just now, she must have made that gesture towards Jiang Qing.

So, is this considered a straight shot?

Liu Yifei, sitting in the audience, frowned slightly, while Cheng Xiao pouted even more. Many others speculated whether this top female celebrity had set her sights on Jiang Qing, the tech upstart. This was big news!

After all, although this top female celebrity's relationship with a certain male star is unclear, she has never had a formally publicized relationship.

No one would have expected Dilraba to be so bold today, but upon closer reflection, Jiang Qing is absolutely worth it, isn't she?
"Is this the first time this outfit has been worn in Milan Haute Couture?"

Cheng Xiao heard a gasp from a fashion editor in the back row.

"I heard the designer changed her waistline three times."

Du Hua's cold snort overlapped with Cheng Xiao's sigh.

"If you can ever get brands to do that, I won't care if you just stay home playing video games all day!"

Du Hua looked at the girl beside him and poked her forehead in exasperation.

I'll try my best!

Cheng Xiao smiled ingratiatingly and gently rubbed the spot where she had just poked him.

She's not really career-driven; when she's not working, she just stays home, playing games and taking care of her pets, avoiding going out whenever possible.

But after meeting Jiang Qing today, she suddenly wanted to make some changes.

On stage, Dilraba was recreating a famous scene from the play, and as her fingertips brushed across the air, she suddenly added an impromptu waltz spin.

Han Zijie handed over a prop red rose at the right moment, and Reba took the flower and casually took his arm.

The two started dancing a comical tango, and the laughter from the audience almost lifted the roof off.

Jiang Qing suddenly stopped clapping with a smile. Dilraba held a rose between her lips and raised an eyebrow at him. This impromptu performance instantly caused a stir in the media area.

Amidst the sudden commotion in the back row, Cheng Xiao saw three reporters scrambling together to grab a good spot for their cameras.

Dilraba seemed oblivious to the chaos. With a bright smile, she bowed to Han Zijie and completed the interaction.

She was already very familiar with this kind of situation.

Jiang Qing gazed at the radiant and elegant exotic beauty on the stage, a hint of admiration in his eyes.

He had to admit that Reba was very charming, like a beautiful red rose that one wanted to pick.

Dilraba made almost no attempt to hide her curiosity about him, practically saying, "I'm interested in you."

Similarly, he was also somewhat tempted by such a charming and beautiful woman.

I wouldn't say I like it; it's purely an appreciation of beauty, or perhaps lust at first sight.

He was quite looking forward to the possibility of something happening between him and this exotic beauty from the northern frontier today.

At this moment, Dilraba had finished her project presentation and said goodbye to Han Zijie, and was walking off the stage, lifting her skirt.

The spotlight shone on her, making her even more radiant; every smile and gesture was captivating.

Although Yang Yang, who is the male lead, was not present today, she alone was enough to hold the scene together, which is the strength of a top female star.

She walked through the passageway, lifting her skirt, and when she sat down, she brought with her a fragrant breeze.

"Why didn't you take a picture just now, Mr. Jiang? Am I not good-looking enough?"

As soon as she sat down, Reba couldn't wait to turn around.

She asked the question very naturally, a few strands of hair clinging to her neck, trembling slightly with her breath.

Cheng Xiao suddenly felt envious of the other person's boldness.

Before Jiang Qing could speak, Yang Wei turned to the side and grinned.

"How about exchanging a direct shot for WeChat contact? Deal?"

"of course."

Dilraba readily agreed and took the phone from her assistant.

Yang Wei happily added her as a friend, and then Cheng Xiao saw her wave her phone at Jiang Qing, her intentions quite obvious.

Jiang Qing didn't put on airs and readily took out her phone, opened the QR code, and showed it to her.

Cheng Xiao's eyes stung with tears; she also desperately wanted Jiang Qing's contact information!

Liu Yifei suddenly got up and adjusted her shawl.

As she walked backstage, Cheng Xiao overheard the other stylist muttering to himself.

How about trying a mermaid skirt for an evening look?

Was he provoked by Dilraba?

Cheng Xiao stared at the other person's back with some disbelief.

She wasn't sure if the other person was genuinely interested in Jiang Qing or simply wanted to compete with Dilraba, but it at least proved one thing: Jiang Qing was qualified to be pursued by two top female celebrities.

This realization left her momentarily stunned, and a faint sense of inferiority and bitterness welled up in her heart.

She stole a glance at Jiang Qing's profile, feeling that he was so close to her, yet so far away...

At the same time, Weibo's trending topics also became very lively.

The most upvoted comment on the trending topic "Reba Jiang Qing" was: "The way she looked at Jiang Qing with a rose in her mouth was even sweeter than in the drama!"

The official Weibo account of "You Are My Glory" was bombarded by fans, and all the posts were filled with insults.

Those who were cursing were almost all fans of the original novel and Yang Yang's fans. No one expected that, just before the premiere, Dilraba, the female lead, would openly flirt with Jiang Qing at Tencent's press conference.

Are you going too far?
Dilraba's fans are no pushovers either. Alice is known for her fierce fighting spirit. How could she possibly stand seeing her idol being criticized?
As a result, Alice instantly overwhelmed everything from the official Weibo account of "You Are My Glory" to the super topic, and then to Yang Yang's Weibo and super topic.

Yang Yang's fans are not to be underestimated either; as one of the top male celebrities, his fan base is enormous.

Soon the wool organized a counterattack and fought Alice to a standstill.

The fans accused Dilraba of flirting with other men while her new drama was about to premiere, saying she lacked professional ethics.

Alice blamed Yang Yang for not even attending the press conference, and asked what the interaction between Dilraba and Jiang Qing had to do with it.
They even mocked that since Yu Tu from the drama couldn't be there in person, it was only natural for Dilraba to interact with the "real-life Yu Tu."

Both sides stuck to their own version of events, and the fight raged on.

Jiang Qing's fans were all prepared for a fight, but when they found that they didn't need to lift a finger, they happily watched from the sidelines with other netizens, thoroughly enjoying themselves.

Many people who were unaware of the situation were also very curious when they saw Jiang Qing and Dilraba's names appearing together in the same frame, so they clicked on the trending search to find out more.

The hashtag "Jiang Qing Reba" quickly became a hot topic, with the number of comments exceeding 100,000 in just half an hour and still growing rapidly.

Meanwhile, on the set of "Our Prime of Life".

"Ah……"

Chen Duling, dressed in a white business suit, held her phone and couldn't help but laugh out loud when she saw the trending topic.

With this kind of behavior, you still want to ask her out for dinner tonight?
Are you able to manage all that?
Her eyes narrowed slightly, and a dangerous smile slowly curved her lips.

Jiang Qing, even a rabbit will bite when cornered!
