Chapter 140
140 Conceited
In other words, because of her, apart from ayisa’s resignation, Su Yanjun had also fallen from power. She remembered the call she received this morning, and when she called again, his phone was already off.
Zhu pan slumped in his chair, his eyes dull. “We’re finished, Yingluo.”
In the evening, the major media reported the progress of the incident, and the headlines of the major news were: Zhu Pan’s arrogant words were met with a slap in the face, and Chang Yuhu appeared on Weibo to protect his disciple.
This matter had already made the headlines on all the portal websites. The netizens were one-sided and scolding Zhu pan for bringing it on himself.
From the beginning of ” the 99th love letter “‘s release, she should have used her acting skills to convince the public, but there were so many scandals that it even affected ” the 99th love letter “‘s box office in the end.
During the day, although the box office of ” the 99th love letter ” in Imperial City had improved, it was only a flash in the pan. After two O ‘clock in the afternoon, although the box office once again exploded in popularity because of Zhu Pan’s press conference, with Chang Yuhu’s speech, the box office fell to the bottom again.
In the evening, someone even exposed the inside story of ” the 99th love letter ” buying box office sales.
A netizen left a comment on the internet, pointing out that he had gone to a cinema in the capital with his friends in the morning. When he bought the tickets, it showed that more than half of the tickets had been sold out. He had managed to get a ticket with great difficulty, but when he entered a cinema that was said to be sold out, there was no one inside, like a ghost place.
Such a piece of news would have been fine under normal circumstances, but it was fatal at this moment.
There were more and more people ridiculing Zhu pan on the internet. Although the crew of “the 99th love letter” did not step on Zhu Pan’s foot, they did not speak up for her either.
With the departure of Ailsa, Zhu Pan’s original endorsements, jobs, variety shows, and other activities were temporarily suspended. She still had a six-year contract with century Galaxy. After being frozen this time, it was unknown whether she could be used again.
At night, PEI Yi had wanted to bring Jiang se to the court of pilgrimage to have dinner with nie dan and the others. However, after Jiang se called Chang Yuhu, she made an appointment with him for dinner. Naturally, she could not go with him.
He first sent Jiang se to the place where Chang Yuhu was supposed to meet her. It was a private restaurant that did not stand out from the outside. When Jiang se arrived, it was still early, but the restaurant was already half-filled.
PEI Yi parked his car and accompanied her into the restaurant. He did not want to leave yet. Chang Yuhu was clearly a regular here. When Jiang se told him her name, the restaurant owner personally led her into a private room that was well-hidden. He glanced at PEI Yi curiously before asking Jiang se with a smile, ”
“You’RE teacher Chang’s student, right?”
The news of what had happened on the internet in the afternoon had already spread.
The boss, who looked to be in his fifties, was wearing an apron and rubbing his hands.
“If there’s anything you want to eat later, just tell me. If there’s anything you don’t like, tell me.” He was a little excited. I’ll cook personally! Teacher Chang is a regular here. My wife and I have loved the movies she acted in since we were young. This is the first time teacher Chang has accepted an apprentice. Next time, if you’re free, please come and visit us!”
Jiang se nodded with a smile. The owner said a few more words and even personally went out to make a pot of tea.
PEI Yi sat next to Jiang se and sized up the private room. The decoration here was simple and quaint. The dining table and chairs were all made of wood, but they were very clean and gave off an antique feel.
Looking out of the window beside the dining table, there was a roof. Outside, one could see the snow and a field of wintersweet trees. Flower buds hung on the branches. Even with the window closed, one could almost smell the fragrance.
When Jiang se took off her coat and sat down, she was surprised to see that PEI Yi was also about to take off his coat and sit down.
“You’re still not leaving?”
He was a little depressed.
Her forearms were crossed on the table, her fingers long and slender. Her hair was winding and draped over her shoulders, a few strands hanging in front of her chest, outlining the lines of her round chest.
“You can’t wait for me to leave?” He also sat down. In fact, nie dan had already called him several times to hurry him. He had received two calls while he was driving. Although he said ‘coming, coming’, he did not want to move at all.
Jiang se looked at the time on her phone and reminded him, ”
“You had an appointment with nie dan and the others at six O ‘clock. It’s already half past five.”
PEI Yi reached for the teapot on the table to pour some water. The owner had brought him oolong tea. He touched the teacup with his fingertips and handed it to Jiang se.
alright, call me after dinner. I’ll come and pick you up.
He got up reluctantly. Jiang se sipped on her tea. Her eyes were half-closed as the steam rose. Her long, dense eyelashes covered her eyes that were full of life.
“Alright,” he said. She nodded. When PEI Yi came out of the private room, he wanted to pay the bill in advance, but the boss refused to let him.
“I can also see that you don’t lack money. This is the first time sister Chang brought a student here, so it’s not like I can’t afford a meal.”
There were also many customers in the restaurant. When they heard that the boss was cooking personally, they all jeered and said that they rarely came to taste the boss’s cooking.
The owner’s oolong tea was pretty good. The tea was a little hot and was suitable for small sips. In such weather, Jiang se felt warm after only two cups.
Her appointment with Chang Yuhu was also at six O ‘clock. However, when she had a meeting with someone, Jiang se always liked to leave early to avoid any possible traffic jams or other delays.
In her spare time, she took a book she borrowed from the library last week to pass the time. After PEI Yi left, Chang Yuhu came in less than ten minutes later.
“I heard from old Wu that you’ve been here for 15 minutes.”
Her hair was tied up and she had light makeup on. She had an outstanding aura about her. The moment she arrived, she took off her coat and put down her bag. When she saw Jiang se getting up to welcome her, she waved her hand to stop Jiang se. Then, she glanced at the book in Jiang SE’s hand.
“The prisoner?”
Jiang se closed the book and bowed. She then smiled and said, ”
“You’ve also seen it?”
The book’s title was in Latin. When translated into Chinese, it meant “the prisoner “. Jiang se had borrowed it in English as she was afraid that it would lose its original flavor if translated. This book was not a popular reading material in the country as it was religious. Many students thought that it was too unpopular even when they were learning English. Hence, there were not many readers.
Jiang se had seen this book when she was looking for information in the first Academy’s library. She was interested after reading it for a while and rented it.
Only those who had read the book would be able to recognize the novel at a glance when they saw the cover.
Chang Yuhu nodded. Jiang se poured her a cup of tea. She took it from her.
“The story is set in the Italian Renaissance period, with a little religious belief, which is quite special.”
Jiang se put the book away. Chang Yuhu smiled.
“You really don’t look like you want to enter the entertainment industry.”
