Rebirth of Chinese Entertainment, the Diary of a 95 Flower

Chapter 420 Ruonan, are you really pregnant?

money?
Of course I need the money.

Jiang Yang wants more than just money.

With such a surge in traffic, his little devils also had to seize this opportunity to reap some benefits.

Open the [Swordsman 4] group.

Not wanting his little ones to worry too much about him and affect his studies, Jiang Yang has been popping up in the group chat from time to time these past few days.

There are over 99 messages inside; they've been chatting away for ages.

When the trending topic first appeared, everyone was initially worried about Jiang Yang.

Many people privately messaged Jiang Yang to inquire about his situation.

The first to message was Zhao Jinmai: [“My classmate said you’re trending on social media. That video makes me so angry. Xiao Jiang, just tell me, was it the production crew who did it? I’m so familiar with this tactic. Was it Zhong Shujia? Or should I come over and beat him up? I’m underage, I’m protected by the Juvenile Protection Law.”]
Jiang Yang replied: [“Come on, beat me as much as you want.”]
Zhao Jinmai sent a message: ["Just kidding, but I'm really annoyed. I don't know what I can do. How about I play a game with you?"]
I'm playing Honor of Kings.

At first, Zhao Jinmai tried her best to comfort Jiang Yang and keep him in a good mood, saying that this kind of thing is very common in the industry and that it will be fine once the hype dies down.

Hit and hit.

Jiang Yang gave away the first blood.

Dying seven times in a row, that's incredibly unlucky.

Seeing that they were about to lose the final team fight and fail to advance, Zhao Jinmai suddenly burst out cursing: "Xiao Jiang, how are you playing Di Renjie? You keep missing your skills, are you handing out flyers?!"
After that, Hao Chun, Xi Wei, Ruo Nan, and Zhou Ye also sent messages.

But we all have to attend classes.

Jiang Yang also told them not to come over, that everything was fine.

But they still sent Chaoyue over, because everyone else had to go to class, and Chaoyue really had nothing to do and was very free.

I just joined the group.

Then I saw Zhang Ruonan sending a message: [Why hasn't Jiang Yang assigned us any tasks yet? Didn't he say we could use his negative trending topics to gain more followers? I can't wait any longer... Ouch, my stomach hurts again.]
Zhao Jinmai popped up: ["What's wrong, Ruonan? Are you pregnant?"]
Zhang Ruonan replied: [“Pregnant? My period just ended a few days ago, it's not my ovulation period, I just had an upset stomach, probably from the barbecue place on the street in front of the school last night.”]
Tian Xiwei chimed in: ["Really? Ruonan is pregnant?"]
Zhang Ruonan replied to Tian Xiwei: ["Xiwei, don't you want to see what I'm saying?"]
Zhou Ye sent a message: [“Ruo Nan is really pregnant. I saw her ultrasound report.”]
Zhang Ruonan replied to Zhou Ye: [“Yezi, stop messing around.”]
Yang Chaoyue sent a message: ["Looks like I can't hide it anymore. Your information is outdated. I delivered Ruonan's baby. It was a natural birth, and both mother and child are safe. If I'm lying, my boss will get hemorrhoids."]
Edited by Zhao Jinmai: [“What a vicious oath! What Chaoyue said must be true.”]
Zhang Ruonan replied to Yang Chaoyue: [“You’re spreading pure rumors!”]
He then replied to Zhao Jinmai: [“Maimai, it was you who started this trend.”]
Yang Chaoyue then posted: ["Ruo Nan wanted to keep a low profile and was too embarrassed to ask you for money, so she asked me to collect it for her. Sisters, just send me the red envelopes directly."]
Zhang Ruonan sent a message: [“…”]
Then he continued posting: ["I understand how Jiang Yang felt when he was being slandered on the trending topics. He was speechless and couldn't defend himself. They made it sound so convincing. How can the boss have such a good attitude? Although he gained 80,000 followers on Weibo, these are all haters. What value do they have?"]
Jiang Yang found it amusing.

They're all bullying Ruonan, this honest person.

The name has been changed.

He's become aggressive towards outsiders.

They are just as honest with their own people.

Liu Haochun chimed in: [@Zhao Jinmai, @Zhou Ye, @Yang Chaoyue, @Tian Xiwei, Jiang Yang is being falsely accused online of bullying extras on set, and now you're spreading rumors that Ruonan is pregnant. Is that even acceptable? If you continue spreading these rumors about Ruonan, I will have the company's legal department intervene and make you pay the consequences.]
Zhao Jinmai replied: [“The lackey Chun has come to help the lackey Zhang.”]
Zhang Ruonan sent a message: ["Haochun, as expected, we two are on the same side. They're all bullying me."]
This was followed by three hugging emojis.

Yang Chaoyue edited the text: [“Does the company have a legal department now? I'm a company veteran, how come I didn't know?”]
Liu Haochun replied: [“No legal department? Then there are no consequences. Whatever.”]
Zhang Ruonan: [“…”]
She then sent another message: ["Haochun, why are you being so indecent? You high school students are all so cunning."]
Liu Haochun then posted: ["Alright, alright, everyone stop arguing. We're all from the same company. If we bully Ruonan until she cries, we'll have to comfort her. There's no need for that. Ruonan isn't pregnant at all."]
Zhang Ruonan replied to Liu Haochun: ["Haochun, you're still the best to me."]
Liu Haochun continued posting: [“Ruo Nan actually already has a child, and the child is quite chubby. I have pictures to prove it.”]
Then, a photo was posted in the group chat.

It was a photo that Zhang Ruonan sent her privately; it was a picture of her holding a child at a relative's banquet.

Zhang Ruonan sent a message: [“Liu Haochun!!!”]
Zhou Ye: [“Holy crap! Really? They’re going all out.”]
Tian Xiwei chimed in: ["This child looks exactly like Jiang Yang when he was little."]
Yang Chaoyue was still thinking about the red envelopes: ["Everyone, please transfer your gift money to me, and I'll collect it on Ruonan's behalf."]
No one paid any attention to Yang Chaoyue.

Zhang Ruonan sent a message: [“Liu Haochun, you forced me to do this. Haochun is actually about to give birth too, I have pictures to prove it.”]
Then send a photo.

Yang Chaoyue sent a message: ["I really want to add Bailu to the group, but Jiang Yang won't let me. There's so much gossip going on, and she can't get any of it. I'm worried for her."]
Jiang Yang chimed in: ["Stop messing around. Have you come up with the Weibo captions you wanted? All you do is bully Ruonan all day long. I'm being cursed like a dog on Weibo. If you don't seize this opportunity to ride my coattails, you won't be able to anymore once the hype dies down!"]
Jiang Yang didn't go to the film set all day.

Not in a hurry.

Because Lu Han didn't go either.

Let's wait and see if Zhong Shujia can afford to wait.

As a friend, he can be warm and loyal.

If you resort to underhanded tactics, don't blame him for being a scoundrel.

Wasn't there a rumor that he was acting like a big shot? Well, he is acting like a big shot now.

However, acting like a diva has to be done in private.

Acting like a diva on set is something that newly famous actors usually do.

Because there are too many unstable factors on a film set, it's easy to cause a lot of trouble and leave you with no way out.

If the wait is too long, the extras will lose their temper and yell at the actors without the crew having to intervene.

What can we do then? Are we going to argue with the extras? That would be even more embarrassing.

Jiang Yang didn't care what was going on on set.

The next day, I went out and found out the advertising placement process for the big screen on Wansheng Street.

Contact the management department to find out about the price.

Jiang Yang didn't spend a single penny.

If this big screen is useful in the future, the production team will have to pay for it.

Wansheng Street is one of the three busiest streets in Hengdian.

It's a pedestrian street.

Secondly, there are Baxian Street and Dazhi Street.

There are tons of restaurants offering food from all over the country, and this big screen lets everyone who's out shopping see it.

Deng Ruonan, Chaoyue, and Xiwei arrived, appearing one by one on the big screen.

The first film and television production announcement, a big production, didn't allow the little ones to get much money, but it had to be a big deal.

It was already late at night when I got back to the hotel.

A knock was heard at the door. "Old Zhong's here already?"

Privately, he calls Zhong Shujia "old man".

When we meet, I should call him "director," I still have to call him "director."

Judging by the time, since Lu Han didn't go to the set, Zhong Shujia should have had to make do with filming the extras' scenes first, and they should have already wrapped up work by now.

Jiang Yang took out the tea leaves, boiled water, and invited Zhong Shujia to chat.

open the door.

Jiang Yang was slightly taken aback.

It wasn't Zhong Shujia outside, but Zhang Ruonan, whom she had recently separated from.

"Ruo Nan? What brings you here?"

"It's the weekend, and I'm in Hangzhou, which is close by."

Zhang Ruonan's long, straight, black hair was draped over her shoulders, the ends still slightly damp.

A few wisps of hair fell naturally across her forehead, giving her a casual yet refreshing look.

She wore a loose-fitting light blue striped shirt with the cuffs slightly rolled up, revealing her slender wrists.

Her fingers nervously circled the hem of her shirt.

Inside was a plain white crew neck T-shirt.

Simple and clean, with the collarbone slightly revealed at the neckline.

The pants are light gray casual jogger pants.

Pair it with a pair of white canvas shoes.

She wasn't dressed up, but she exuded a clean and youthful vibe.

Zhang Ruonan entered the room, chatted with Jiang Yang for a few words, and then got down to business:
“I know I haven’t been scheduled for any scenes yet, but I can’t wait and I wanted to come see you.”

As Zhang Ruonan spoke, her gaze fell on Jiang Yang's Adam's apple:

“I’ve been listening to the audio recording of the song you taught me every day, and I’ve almost learned it.”

The tea originally prepared for Zhong Shujia will be put away for now.

Jiang Yang didn't give Zhang Ruonan any tea.

I know Zhang Ruonan doesn't like drinking this stuff.

He took out his phone, ordered a milk tea, and before the delivery arrived, he heard Zhang Ruonan ask, "Jiang Yang, are you listening?"

While speaking.

She came up behind Jiang Yang and reached out to hug his waist.

She felt Jiang Yang's hand on the back of her hand.

“I’m listening, Ruonan, you speak.”

“I miss you. The day your negative news trended on social media, I missed you so much. If you hadn’t forbade me, I would have taken a taxi here right then and there.”

Zhang Ruonan continued, "I know you haven't been as relaxed as you seem these past few days. I don't know how I can help you, but I hope you won't overthink things and can think of me more often."

Jiang Yang turned around and looked down at Zhang Ruonan.

He placed his palm on Zhang Ruonan's cheek.

I didn't continue discussing his trending topic, and glanced at the door.

It's definitely closed and locked from the inside, so there's no chance someone like Bai Lu will suddenly be outside taking pictures with their phone.

She heard Zhang Ruonan's warm voice in her ear: "My aunt has passed away."

After saying that, she immediately buried her face in Jiang Yang's neck.

She didn't want Jiang Yang to see her sudden feeling of shame.

Hear the words.

Jiang Yang tightened his grip on Zhang Ruonan's arm.

Ruonan is really too sweet.

Bai Lu is probably still filming at the scenic spot and hasn't returned yet. Tonight, she'll try all the local delicacies.

"Listen to that song first, how's your practice going?"

"Okay, I recorded a part, and I edited it together with the instrumental version you sent me. It's the best part I ever sang."

Zhang Ruonan took out her phone.

Play an audio clip and put your phone aside.

As the music began, Zhang Ruonan looked up at Jiang Yang and leaned into his arms.
