hrough various specialized courses. There was also a dedicated image designer teaching her how to walk elegantly and smile gracefully. Warm was so exhausted that she could barely muster a smile.During...Chapter 158

"Nuannuan, let's go watch a movie tonight."

"I have to attend Auntie Mei's birthday party tonight."

"How about we see it at midnight"

"Are you up for it You have work tomorrow."

Ye Feimo said indifferently, "Okay then." He asked Zhang Ling to check what movies were being released early in the morning. Nuannuan suggested, "The comedy film 'Cloud of Laughter' by Huayan feels pretty good; let's watch that one."

"Supporting another company's box office" That would be a competitor.

"Two more people won't make much difference. We can send them tea as a thank you," Nuannuan smiled. Ye Feimo hummed and instructed Zhang Ling to book tickets for 'The Uncrowned King.'

"Oh, by the way, how is 'The Uncrowned King' doing in terms of box office It's been out for nearly two weeks now." Nuannuan asked.

Ye Feimo checked the data. "270 million."

"That's really high!" Nuannuan stuck her tongue out. This could be considered a dark horse among New Year's films, also known as 'Green Grass with Stars.' The plot was good, there were many funny moments, and most importantly, the word-of-mouth was excellent.

The other film that received scathing criticism had earned 150 million yuan, which wasn't bad either.

Ye Feimo said, "This is one of the highest-grossing films in recent years. At this rate, half of the theaters' schedules for the second half will probably be reserved for it, and reaching a box office of 500 million won't be an issue."

Nuannuan nodded; she understood the situation.

The box office performance of 'Beauty Overwhelms City' was indeed problematic this time. The Tang family invested, Anning produced it, and Lin Ning directed it—these were all gold-standard labels in the industry. However, past New Year's films had always featured main actors with strong market potential. Her, a newcomer, starring in such a film meant that the investors took a huge risk.

If it flopped, she would feel terribly guilty.

Ye Feimo glanced at Warming and said coolly, "If the box office can reach 300 million yuan this time, it will meet my expectations."

"Are you sure you're not putting pressure on me" Warming glared at him. Ye Feimo smiled faintly, "Once the film is done, how to boost ticket sales is your responsibility. If it doesn't work out well, don't blame yourself. Why are you worried about that"

"How could I not be worried," Warming sighed deeply, "The preview screening will start tomorrow, and Director Lin has invited quite a few influential critics, probably to point out my flaws ruthlessly. It's really depressing."

“Aren't you very confident”

"When the instructor asks if you can march on the spot, everyone says they can, but who does it perfectly" Warming complained a little, "Have you watched the movie"

“Not yet. I’ll attend tomorrow’s preview screening as well,” Ye Feimo said. Warming made an ‘oh’ sound and couldn’t help grumbling—what was he going there for.

"I'm really worried that I'll be criticized to the core tomorrow," Warming covered her face with her hands, actually, ticket sales were not her top concern as an actress. As investors, Tang Shuwen and Ye Feimo would naturally care most about this, but she was more concerned about how well-received the film would be.

When acting, she had been full of confidence in herself, but now she wasn’t so sure anymore.

The two films currently on release were both doing very well at the box office; one got terrible reviews and the other received overwhelmingly positive feedback. Warming worried that her film might be the worst-rated one. At the end of December, there would also be two New Year’s films released: one she starred in and one a light-hearted romantic comedy.

"Lin Ning speaks highly of your performance; what he praises is usually not criticized by others, of course, provided his judgment isn’t flawed."

“Can you just say the first half part” Warming really had an urge to grab the laptop and smash it at him.

In a good mood today, Ye Feimo didn’t want to argue with Warming. He wanted to handle everything as soon as possible so he could spend time with her. Thus, Young Master Er was like he had taken a shot of adrenaline: super-efficient. Zhang Ling came and went, bringing up files happily.

Warming really was amazing; look at how fast the young master was working today—finishing three days’ work in just one day.

The efficiency wasn’t normal.

Ye Feimo had a meeting at 2:30 PM in Conference Room One. Wanting to play with his phone, Warming didn't hesitate and took it from him. She happily studied Ye Feimo’s top-notch mobile phone.

Asked Baidu, but couldn't find out which brand it was.

However, the features were very comprehensive. Anything a regular mobile phone had, this device also possessed, and anything that other phones lacked, this one had in abundance. It was almost like a computer but in a smartphone form. Warm felt that Ye Feimo's phone screen was too ugly. She downloaded a beautiful picture from the internet to use as her wallpaper, only to find out later that the advertisement she saw was actually sent using this phone, and there were quite a few pictures of hers saved on it.

Warm chuckled and set their group photo as the home screen.

Looking back at the previous moment, although Ye Feimo's lips only curled slightly, he held a Hello Kitty donut that was incredibly cute. Miss Warm thought to herself how well they matched each other after all.

After playing around for a while, Warm fell asleep comfortably on the sofa. When Ye Feimo returned and saw her sleeping sweetly with his phone next to her, he hurriedly picked up the phone so as not to disturb her.

It was Han Bi again; Ye Feimo frowned, wondering if he should change his number.

This number had been in use for many years without changing. Everyone from family and friends knew this number, so it would be troublesome to switch now. He walked over to the window and answered the call, "What is it"

"Feimo, today is Aunt Mei's birthday party. Should we go together" Han Bi said with a smile.

Ye Feimo pursed his lips, "I have a female companion."

Saying that, he hung up the phone.

Aunt Mei was a big figure in the entertainment industry and an old senior of An Ning. She was an extremely accomplished artist with many classic works in cinema, greatly respected by her juniors.

Warm blinked her eyelashes; she had actually woken up when Ye Feimo came back but pretended to be asleep until he returned to his seat. Fortunately, it was Ye Feimo who came back this time; otherwise, she would not have known how to handle that call.

It seemed like one shouldn't mess around with Ye Feimo's phone隨便玩的。

Warm tidied up her slightly disheveled clothes. When Ye Feimo raised his gaze and saw her, he arched an eyebrow and asked, "Are you awake Do you want to have afternoon tea"

"I'm on a diet," Warm said with a smile.

She looked up some information online when she suddenly noticed a news article. She remembered that Tang Mandong had mentioned two days ago that Tang Shuwen might be getting married.

The rest, Man Dong didn't elaborate much. Warm felt somewhat suspicious; the photo was a candid one of Tang Shuwen with a woman who seemed quite delicate and had flowing black hair. Supposedly, she was his fiancée.

In Warm's impression, Tang Shuwen was refined and gentlemanly but also enjoyed himself to the fullest, on par with Ye Feimo.

Nevertheless, she still cared a lot about her friend’s brother.

"Ye Feimo, Man Dong said that Shuwen Brother is getting married. Do you know who his bride is" Warm asked.

Ye Feimo didn’t even look up, "Her name is Zhao Yuning; Shuwen has liked her for many years now and recently said he wants to set a date for their wedding. I don't know if it's true."

"So it’s really happening," Warm sighed in relief and happily added, "When Shuwen Brother gets married, Man Dong and I can be bridesmaids."

Ye Feimo glanced at her with a hint of sourness in his eyes, "Do you like Tang Shuwen very much"

"Yes, I do," she said.

Ye Feimo gave a cold snort; Warm didn’t mind. "Previously, Man Dong told me that it seemed that Shuwen Brother had once been in a serious relationship with a girlfriend who later left him, after which he began to live a decadent life. I was going to ask you..."

Warm paused for a moment and then thought, damn, these young masters all have similar experiences; it's really...disappointing.

"Yes, his high school girlfriend."

"From our school"

"Yes. She was one grade lower than me and served as the Cultural Propaganda Commissioner of the Student Union at that time." Ye Feimo paused for a moment before lifting his head to say, "Speaking of which, we are alumni. Call me Senior Brother."

"Senior Brother my foot; you were about to graduate while I was still in seventh grade," Warm retorted.

"I graduated before you started seventh grade, so you should still call me Senior Brother." Ye Feimo said coolly. Warm ignored him as he was always trying to take advantage of her.

Just then, Chen Xieru called for Warm; something seemed off about her voice. They made plans to meet at a café above the Huai River. Warm bid farewell to Ye Feimo and was about to leave.m to be much for him to ask her.He wondered if every girl who had their deepest secrets exposed would act as gracefully as Wushuang. She showed no surprise at all, as if it was the most normal thing i...
