This director is vindictive.

Chapter 485 Yang Mi: Are you guys being polite? My feet smell amazing!

In fact, in ordinary families, it is not uncommon for husbands to wash their wives' feet.

Many couples have these little interactions; it's simply a way of expressing affection.

If you go to any neighborhood and ask around, at least three or four out of ten couples will have had similar experiences—perhaps helping to wash the wife's feet when she was pregnant, or giving her a foot massage to relieve fatigue after a long day.

These kinds of everyday, heartwarming moments are usually not taken seriously by anyone, let alone become a hot topic.

But this time the situation is completely different.

Why is it that when Chen Mo washes Fan Binbin's feet, it goes viral across the internet, even though both are just foot washing?

The key lies in "who is doing this"—Chen Mo is no ordinary person; he is a tycoon in the entertainment industry with a net worth of hundreds of billions, a top-tier billionaire who can casually throw away 10 billion yuan in cash, and a powerful figure who makes half of the entertainment industry have to watch his face.

The contrast between this man, who is a powerful figure in the business world, kneeling down to wash a woman's feet is as shocking as seeing an emperor personally serving his concubine water to wash her feet.

What's even more impressive is the pomp and circumstance of his foot-washing ceremony—golden melon seeds were scattered in a gilded bronze basin, and rose petals floated on the surface of the water, perfectly replicating the standards of an ancient palace.

This isn't just the warm daily life of an ordinary couple; it's like bringing the treatment of an empress from a movie into reality.

Furthermore, Fan Binbin's legendary journey from playing a "maid" to becoming an "empress" imbues this foot-washing scene with dramatic symbolic meaning.

So, while washing feet is just an ordinary thing for ordinary people, when Chen Mo does it, it becomes a top-tier marketing case worth a billion yuan.

Of course, Chen Mo didn't really think that much about it. After all, it was just his way of showing affection to his woman.

However, this situation was not unexpected.

His identity and status alone meant that he was destined to capitalize on this wave of attention.

In fact, the impact of this "foot washing incident" far exceeded Fan Binbin and Chen Mo's expectations.

The main point is that, despite the seemingly small matter of washing feet, it's important to understand that...

While such behavior is normal between married couples, what if they are not married? What if they are just boyfriend and girlfriend?
Then such things are truly extremely rare!
At the same time, because it's Valentine's Day! On such a special holiday, the foot-washing incident was truly explosive.

Fan Binbin's Weibo post with the caption "This life is worth it!" featuring a photo of him washing his feet was like a nuclear bomb dropped into a calm lake, its shockwaves continuing to spread.

The celebrity effect was on full display at this moment.

The foot-washing incident has become the most ritualistic way to "show affection" this Valentine's Day!
Many male netizens have discovered that, wow, Chen Mo is truly a walking textbook.

For many people, simply bringing their girlfriend a foot bath and washing her feet is no big deal, right?

This is basically just giving out freebies, isn't it?

Of course, there are exceptions if your girlfriend has really smelly feet!

First, a programmer boyfriend who was usually criticized by his girlfriend for not being romantic enough was inspired by the "foot-washing incident" and gave his girlfriend a foot-washing gift the day after Valentine's Day.

After his girlfriend excitedly posted it on her WeChat Moments, it quickly received a large number of likes and replies.

"Tsk tsk, a woman should marry a man who's willing to wash his girlfriend's feet! My husband, we've been married for so many years, and he's never washed my feet even once!"

"No problem. My boyfriend and I have been dating for so many years, and he's only willing to help me shower. Wash my feet? That's out of the question!"

"Upstairs, I suspect you're making a suggestive joke, but the point is valid. Don't underestimate the act of washing feet; it's truly one of the most basic ways to express love!"

The female netizen posted the photos and screenshots from her WeChat Moments on Weibo, which quickly sparked a wave of imitations of the "foot-washing ceremony".

The male netizen secretly posted a picture on his WeChat Moments, saying: "This is the first time in three years of dating that my girlfriend has been moved to tears. It's the first time she's said that even a straight guy like me can be romantic. Thanks, Chen Mo! I'm so happy! I spent a month's salary on a gift, and my girlfriend didn't think much of it. But when I simply washed her feet, she was moved to tears. Brothers, what are you waiting for? You have to do this kind of thing that is both cost-effective!"

Although it's already February 15th, Valentine's Day has passed.

However, this did not hinder the popularity of this "foot washing ceremony".

Many netizens started posting pictures, and suddenly it seemed that if your boyfriend or husband hadn't washed your feet, it became a symbol that he didn't love you.

Conversely, at the very least, if a man is willing to do something like washing the feet of the woman he loves, it means there are still some feelings involved.

What is there to say?

Love is not spoken, but shown through actions.

Don't get me wrong, it's alluding to the "foot washing" incident! However, there are all sorts of people in a big forest, and as the "foot washing ceremony" incident fermented, many interesting things began to appear on the Internet.

For example, a programmer boyfriend used his keyboard as a foot bath, captioning it "Love written in code lasts longer than golden melon seeds";
A girl posted a picture of her boyfriend using a takeout box to collect water for washing his feet, with the plastic bag printed with "Thank you for your patronage";
The most outrageous thing was that a wealthy fan directly replicated Chen Mo's actions, but his wife accidentally poured the golden melon seeds down the drain, and the emergency call for pipe unclogging went viral locally.

But what really made netizens burst into laughter was Yang Mi's sudden "forced work".

The controversy stemmed from a poll initiated by a prominent entertainment blogger: "Who in Chen Mo's harem is most suitable for the next foot-washing perk?"

As a result, Yang Mi won the championship with a crushing 62% of the votes!
The comment section was instantly flooded with "I want to smell your feet" and "Foot odor warning!"
Actually, the secret of Yang Mi's smelly feet is something she absolutely doesn't want to talk about.

The "Yang Mi's smelly feet" meme can be traced back to the 2010 drama series "Chinese Paladin". According to a self-proclaimed costume designer, Yang Mi's frequent filming of period dramas caused sweat to accumulate in her shoes, resulting in a noticeable odor that even affected the entire dressing room environment.

This rumor was further fueled during the 2013 episode of "Happy Camp": when the show designed a "laughing torture" segment, a goat suddenly ran to Yang Mi's feet and licked them repeatedly. Host He Jiu's joke that "goats are sensitive to salty and sweet tastes" instantly cemented the "stinky feet" label in the public's mind.

Subsequently, revelations from self-proclaimed insiders and secondary creations by netizens (such as the "Love's Offering, Ask Again and I'll Kill You" barrage culture) continued to fuel the fire, causing the topic to transcend the realm of entertainment gossip and evolve into a symbolic internet meme.

It's safe to say that the secret of smelly feet has become a well-known meme across the internet.

Although she once joked on Weibo that her "feet are a bit smelly" to defuse the offensive tone of the topic; and designed an absurd scene in the movie "The Breakup Guru" where "smelly feet knock out the enemy", turning the negative label into a comedic element for the character; this meme has thus become a famous meme in the entertainment industry.

This foot-washing incident quickly led netizens to discover a major secret.

@ChenMoVDirectorChen, Mimi's feet are waiting too! We can't show favoritism! (doge)
"Director Chen, Mimi's feet are famously 'smelly,' dare you wash them? (evil grin)"

"I suggest Director Chen try out Mimi's feet. I bet 100 yuan he won't last three seconds!"

As a result, some netizens actually photoshopped a parody image—Chen Mo is kneeling on one knee, holding a gilded basin in his hands, and as soon as Yang Mi puts her foot in, he is "suffocated" and falls to the ground, with the caption: "Director Chen: This is a biological weapon!"

This picture quickly went viral, and the hashtag #ChenMoKnockedOutByYangMi'sFootSmell# even trended on Weibo. Netizens were laughing hysterically: "Hilarious! MiMi's feet can even 'marinate' high heels. Director Chen is still too young!"

"I suggest Director Chen wear a gas mask before washing, otherwise he might get injured on the job! (doge)"

"Fan Binbin: Washing feet with melon seeds; Yang Mi: Washing feet with biological weapons. Director Chen, which one do you choose? (Funny)"

This wave of pranks from netizens came so suddenly that Yang Mi was completely taken aback.

Yang Mi suddenly appeared in the Super Topic that day and posted three explosive Weibo posts:
@YangMiV: [Angry table flip.jpg] Do you guys have any manners? My feet smell great! It was a problem with the socks back then!
@YangMiV: My feet just finished a rose milk bath [selfie nine-grid], everyone who smelled it said it smelled like first love! (Comment deleted and reposted immediately: Like a newly opened gardenia!)
@YangMiV: "Stop spreading rumors! My feet smell great! @ChenMoV Why don't you come and verify it yourself? (provocative)"
The instigator, Fan Binbin, had already been laughing so hard his stomach hurt from the netizens' mockery of Yang Mi's smelly feet incident.

"Hahahaha! So, sir, does our Mimi really have smelly feet?" Fan Binbin joked.

Chen Mo rolled his eyes at her and said, "Don't talk nonsense. When Tian Tian gave Yang Mi 'Foot Washer' perfume, it immediately broke her defenses. That's her Achilles' heel. She'd probably be furious by now!"

As soon as he finished speaking, his phone started vibrating wildly.

"Chen! Mo!" Yang Mi's voice, filled with gritted teeth, came through the phone as soon as it connected: "You immediately post a clarification on Weibo!"

Chen Mo held the phone further away, smiling as he looked at Fan Binbin, who was smirking beside him: "Clarify what? Say your feet are actually..."

"You dare!" Yang Mi interrupted directly, her voice filled with murderous intent.

"I don't care, I want to see you post on Weibo praising my feet within ten minutes! I'll, I'll... I'll stuff your socks in your mouth while you sleep! Ughhhhh! I'm so angry, after all these years, it's still not over!" Yang Mi said frantically on the other end of the phone.

Upon hearing this, Chen Mo burst out laughing: "So ruthless? Looks like you're really in a hurry. You know, I didn't even create this meme, and you even made fun of yourself back then."

"dare you laugh!"

Yang Mi said angrily, "It's all because of Fan Binbin's foot-washing trending topic. Now the whole internet is tagging you to smell my feet!"

"What's even more outrageous is that my agent just told me that I received three offers to endorse deodorant products—one of which even wants me to take 'before and after photos'! I'm so angry! So angry!"

Fan Binbin finally couldn't hold back his laughter and collapsed onto the sofa, only to be hit by a cushion thrown by Chen Mo.

"alright."

Chen Mo suppressed a laugh and opened Weibo: "But are you sure you want me to post this? What if netizens think I'm trying to cover it up?"

"Cut the nonsense!"

Yang Mi hung up the phone immediately, and three seconds later sent a meticulously edited close-up photo of her feet, with a thin chain around her ankle: "Use this one! I've even thought of a caption for you—Mi Mi's feet smell like gardenias!"
