Chapter 148

my word is final. If I say I don't need to go, then I won't." Ye Feimo said. Warmth nodded in understanding, thinking that he probably had an appointment with someone else. Ye Feimo glared at her.Warm...Chapter 148

The next day, Warm still went to the film crew to shoot the last two scenes. Chen Xieru had already finished her part and bid farewell to the crew a few days ago; today she would also say goodbye after completing these final scenes. The remaining scenes mostly involved Zhuo Bingbing and Chen Hang.

Back then, because of the film's promotional activities, Warm's scenes were shot intensively in a short time. Coupled with her high efficiency at work, her shooting schedule was basically completed by December.

Zhuo Bingbing and Chen Hang still had many scenes left to shoot, so normal filming would continue until early February for this TV drama. Since the timing wasn't right for promotion yet, after she finished shooting, Warm's main tasks would be dubbing and singing the theme song, with more promotional activities planned from February on.

For dubbing, Warm insisted on doing it herself; she had done all the dubs in the movie by herself and felt that they were satisfactory. Since Ling Ning said her voice quality was acceptable, she naturally insisted on dubbing her own lines for the TV drama as well.

The final scene required two days of shooting because Director Zhang demanded perfection.

Subsequently, Ling Ning took Warm and Zhou Chengge to theaters across the city for fan meetings. There were huge crowds everywhere, and everything went smoothly. They visited six cinemas in A City.

With the movie set for release on December 24th, Warm was very nervous.

This was her debut role, and she didn't expect to become an overnight sensation; she simply hoped that people would have a good word about it and that audiences would approve of her performance.

During this time, Ye Feimo continued his aggressive promotional blitz with substantial funding. Major portals, blogs, Weibo—everyone knew about the upcoming release of "Beauty Topples City." The December holiday season was already full of competition for box office success. A rather annoying comedy film had been released on December 3rd; it was produced by a famous veteran actor in China but had poor logic and absurd dialogue, with an implausible storyline.

However, its box office performance was impressive, breaking the ten million yuan mark on the first day of release. It featured many well-known stars and had plenty of funny moments as well as some outrageous ones; it was a film that people could enjoy for a few laughs but then forget about. Even though there were widespread online criticisms, its ticket sales remained strong.

On December 6th, Hua Yun's film would be released too, with equally robust commercial potential. Experts predicted this movie might turn out to be the biggest dark horse of the year for New Year's films.

The past few days Warm had been busy promoting her own film; she posted many photos on Weibo from promotional events and fan meetings. After being besieged by online attacks recently, things were much better now—although there were still some people criticizing her looks or demeanor, not to mention the bad press surrounding her during her previous romantic scandal.

But compared with before, it was a significant improvement.

Tianya and Mop are filled with a large number of internet trolls hurling insults. The competition in the New Year film market is incredibly fierce, and this year's releases seem to be particularly strong.

During the promotional period, Nuwan started shooting advertisements for the 5203 series of jewelry. The director of the jewelry department was an extremely eccentric and strict person; it took Nuwan a whole week under his direction to complete a five-minute narrative advertisement.

The experience was truly unbearable.

Seeing Director Li's satisfied smile, Nuwan wanted nothing more than to burn incense and pray. It was finally over. Ye Feimo had promised her that he would pay the endorsement fee, and despite their arguments, he was very reliable when it came to keeping his promises.

The contract clearly stated an amount of ten million yuan.

Speaking of Ye Feimo, they hadn't seen each other for several days. Nuwan had been to Mingcheng Apartment Complex a few times but lacked the courage to go up. Cai Xiaojing said that this was a typical cold war period.

A cold war then so be it.

What she didn't expect was that on the day the jewelry advertisement shoot ended, Ye Feimo came to the photography studio and wanted to treat all the staff members to a meal as a reward for their hard work. Director Li looked up at the sky and grumbled to himself in an uncooperative manner, "Does the sun rise from the west today"

Ye Feimo pretended not to hear and walked away without even glancing at Nuwan once. The photographer came over and asked, "Director Li, are you really going to have a meal with Mr. Ye"

"Do you dare not go"

"No!"

"Then why ask Everyone listen up! Mr. Ye is treating us to dinner. You've all worked hard these days, tonight we're going to take full advantage of the situation and order the most expensive dishes possible. Is that clear"

"Crystal clear!

warm, "..."

Can she not go Looking at the expression on Ye Feimo's face, he doesn't seem to want to see her either. Can she choose not to attend

Might it be better if she doesn’t go

Cai Xiaoqing pulled warm aside for a scolding, "Mr. Ye would prefer everyone else didn't show up. You should go—otherwise, you'll be in big trouble if I see you absent from the event. He clearly has ulterior motives; can't you tell"

"What ulterior motives He was only recently seen with Han Bi on the newspaper after their date at Printemps. They were also spotted together at Jessica's new collection launch. How could he have any interest in messing with me now" Warm said sourly.

Cai Xiaoqing raised an eyebrow, "So you do care about his gossip. I thought you didn’t care."

Warm had been reading other tabloids after seeing the news a few days ago and hadn't shown any interest in Ye Feimo’s recent activities.

Warm turned away awkwardly.

"I’m telling you two, can’t you stop this cold war Can’t you just back down"

"It's not my fault."

"At the very least, talk to him. Second Young Master Ye, apologize to me and I won't be mad anymore, how hard is that You're not Mr. Ye, so how would you know what to do"

"Is he a pig then He doesn’t even understand these things himself! He clearly isn’t aware of where he went wrong; if I forgive him now, won't he just berate me later again for the same thing And every time it’s so harsh—do I owe him something"

"Of course you do. You owe him plenty. Be a good girl and stop being mad. At least eat this dinner properly. Are you really that thick-skinned He’s already invited all of you for no reason, isn’t this an indirect apology enough Do you need to say sorry first before anything counts" Cai Xiaoqing couldn’t help but guide her, although she herself didn’t fully understand Ye Feimo's actions either.

This time, however, he even invited her to a meal, which was undoubtedly a gesture of reconciliation.

This was the limit of what he could do; wasn't apologizing to Nuǎn directly

A few days ago when Nuǎn promoted the movie, he actually still dragged along Hán Bì pretending it was a chance encounter. Bull**, clearly he wanted to see Nuǎn and she avoided him. Other than a chance encounter, he truly couldn't think of any other reason to meet her.

However, Second Young Master Yè, if you're going to have a chance encounter, why can't you choose another woman Why do you insist on dragging along Hán Bì— isn’t this counterproductive

I hope that tonight there won't be any Hán Bì present; otherwise Nuǎn will surely react.

“Then don’t drag me along either, he invited the staff to a meal and I’m just one of them.”

“I’ve been in n Níng for so long now, but I've never seen General Manager Yè treat his employees. Inviting us out to dinner is like daydreaming.”

Nuǎn pursed her lips and did not respond.

Director Lǐ indeed lived up to his reputation of choosing the most expensive over the tastiest—Yè Fēimò invited around fifteen or sixteen staff members to eat seafood at a five-star hotel. Following Director Lǐ’s instructions, everyone specifically ordered the priciest items and filled an entire table.

This was in a private room at a five-star hotel; a full course of seafood could easily cost tens of thousands of yuan. Yè Fēimò sat there impassively watching them order without batting an eyelash. If one hadn’t worked under Yè Fēimò before, they would certainly think that his expression was frozen because he had gone berserk and couldn't bear their audacity.

But those who had worked with him knew that General Manager Yè looked like this every day anyway; it was no different from a statue of ice. It didn’t matter if they went overboard, since having such a feast wasn’t easy to come by.

General Manager Yè treating us to dinner This was unprecedented!

This was truly a very unusual day.

Might the world really be coming to an end; why else would General Manager Yè treat his employeesre almost no vehicles on the elevated highway, so he kept speeding with his foot pressed hard to the accelerator. With both windows open, cold wind rushed in fiercely. Although it was just slightly ch...
