Chapter 149 - A visit from the Xu’s (1)
“The closeup shots during the interview were so amazing!”
“Likes drinking tea? Had fencing lessons? What kind of fairy hobbies are those?”
“I want to see Li Jinyuan at fencing!”
“Agree +1”
“Agree +2”
“Likes to drink tea sounds so old school… along with fencing though, now it sounds classy and restrained!”
Among all the raves, there were a couple of black fans.
“Other people’s hobbies are always playing games, listening to music. Emmmm, why is this Li Jinyuan so different? Fencing and tea-drinking? Why did he bring up tea-drinking so randomly? Was he waiting for some sort of offer to be a spokesperson? Tsk, tsk, the new people nowadays. Just a few seasons into the show and he’s already being manipulative.”
“Probably his team wanted to create a certain image for him…”
“Oh, c’mon, you people. So what if he mentioned that he likes to drink tea during his interview? He isn’t the only person who likes tea. Why did it have to be about setting an image?”
“+1. Didn’t what’s her name, @yuhuanhL, who made the top trending list, also posted a picture of her black tea? So many people like tea under the sun. What was your problem that he must be trying to set an image or waiting to be a spokesperson?”
“……”
With so many people online, naturally some would like Li Jinyuan and others not so much.
When the director came over, Li Jinyuan was just flipping over the comments from the interview.
The director noticed that he was looking a little cold. “Hey, don’t mind those. Naturally there would be praises along with criticisms. Just don’t read so much and stay happy. You are popular now. Who cares about what those idiots are saying? C’mon over, let’s talk about filming for the next season.”
Li Jinyuan nodded and didn’t explain himself.
Naturally, it wasn’t the comments online that was bothering him.
With him and Huo Chengming’s background, they had been through a lot already. The comments online were nothing to him.
Praises from others wouldn’t give him a big head, nor would criticisms bring him down.
The only thing that Li Jinyuan cares about is…
So many people liked tea under the sun…
Really, that many?
Li Jinyuan felt an odd disappointment.
Would Huanhuan be able to get his meaning? What he intended to do was to refer to Huanhuan’s tea picture in his interview.
… That kind of unspoken understanding would have given Li Jinyuan great joy. But now that joy was ruined.
Li Jinyuan put away his cellphone and walked over to the conference room with the director.
Inside the conference room, the other 21 candidates have already been seated. They all looked up at Li Jinyuan when they heard footsteps. The way the others looked at him has changed. Some were envious, others wanted to curry favors from him. Among the 22 candidates, Li Jinyuan was the only one who has become superstar popular and he was always up on the most trended list. How could others still look at him the same way they used to?
Li Jinyuan saw how all the others were looking at him. Refined and cultured, he remained a perfect gentleman on the outside; but he was happy deep down inside.
But, that was nothing. He would be climbing even higher.
If he could go all the way to the top, did that mean he could provide even more for Huanhuan?
With that in mind, Li Jinyuan pulled out the chair in front of him.

Zhong Yuhuan went to a concert. When she got home, she called up Han Yingying and set a time to go shopping with her in a few days.
The car stopped outside of the mansion. As soon as Zhong Yuhuan got out of her car, she could see a few shadows outside of the front door. Obviously waiting for someone…. They could only be waiting for her.
Zhong Yuhuan’s face dropped right away.
Assistant Zhao broke out in cold sweat from behind her. “I am sorry, Miss. I didn’t think they would come here.”
“It’s not your fault.”
When Zhong Yuhuan got closer, she could see their looks clearly.
There were quite a few of them. One, two… seven. There were a total of 7 people. Zhong Yuhuan speculated from their ages. They were Xu Yunhui’s parents, two sisters, brother-in-laws, and the one at the very front, with his head lower and radiating an air of gloominess, was Xu Xing.
Xu Yunhui’s two sisters looked a lot like her. Their faces were pretty and their bodies full. Yet the way they were carrying their purses made them look very stuck up.
