Retired for A Hundred Years: Re-Employment for the Apocalypse Bigshot!-Chapter 395 - 390: Men Only Affect My Line Memorization Efficiency!
Feng Lei was stunned.
Ye Tong continued, "I think you got something wrong. Whether it’s your mother or you, you’re both equally arrogant, self-important, with a mysterious confidence. Do you always think others have to revolve around you?"
"I’m not..."
"Don’t interrupt me!" Ye Tong raised her voice, "Are you the sun or Huazhou Coin, that I have to degrade myself to revolve around you? If you’re sick in the head, go see a doctor, don’t think everyone is desperately longing for you every day. Even if I, Ye Tong, want to climb up, it won’t be through a man, through your Feng Family!"
"No, Xiao Tong, it’s my mother who misunderstood us..."
"I know what you mean? You’re just trying to say that because your mother mistook me for someone like your previous clingers, trying to ride on your fame and unable to shake off like a chewing gum girlfriend, you want to give me, a lowly, overambitious minor actor, a lesson to see the gap between us, right?"
"No, it’s about my feelings for you..."
"Mr. Feng! How many times have we actually met? Do you know me as a person? Do you know what I truly want? I’m very grateful for you rescuing me back then, and I will work hard to repay that favor. But Mr. Feng, I don’t want to have any relationship with you beyond a cooperation. You’ve just never met someone like me, and you got momentarily excited! Once you’ve calmed down, you’ll realize that anything you’re saying now, any emotions you’re feeling, are just a physiological impulse caused by male hormones."
At this time, Ye Tong’s face was very calm, so rational it left Feng Lei half chilled, he urgently opened his mouth, trying to express his emotions, "No, Ye Tong, this isn’t just a man’s physiological impulse! I’m a mature man, I’ve seen all kinds of women, I know what I want."
But Ye Tong’s expression didn’t change, she even stepped back half a step, increasing the distance between them to a safe range.
Feng Lei’s expression turned much dimmer, with an added sense of helplessness and loss on his face. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖
"Ye Tong, I don’t know since when I started noticing you, but I genuinely admire you, admire your perseverance, admire how you keep pushing toward your dreams even after countless setbacks. I’ve seen your struggles, and that’s why I understand what you want? I want to develop a relationship with you beyond collaboration, but this won’t impede your dream pursuit. I could even support you..."
"Enough! Men will only affect my efficiency in memorizing lines! Are you sure what you’re offering is support and not dragging me down? You’re worried I’ll rise too fast, and you’re eager for me to fall, right?"
"No, it’s all my fault, I apologize to you!"
"No need to apologize!" Ye Tong waved her hand, her face carrying a mix of seriousness and plea, "Mr. Feng, I really appreciate your admiration, but your love life has nothing to do with me. I only beg you one thing, for you, your mother, and everyone in the Feng Family to stay away from me. I’m just a minor actor, I can’t match up to your kind of family, nor do I want to, please treat me like air and ignore me completely!"
"By the way, Mr. Feng, one last thing, I don’t want to think about the Sun Family matter anymore, do you want the Feng Family to become another Sun Family?"
Feng Lei’s heart tightened, "Ye Tong..."
But Ye Tong had already turned and left.
The slender back exuded stubbornness and ruthlessness.
Feng Lei felt as though a bucket of cold water had been poured over him, chilling him to the bone.
...
Once in the elevator, Ye Tong clutched her chest and let out a long sigh of relief.
For some reason, she didn’t feel satisfied, but rather a kind of indescribable disappointment.
As if the dragon-slaying youth ultimately became the evil dragon.
Or perhaps the Feng Family was the evil dragon all along, just better at disguising, slightly more principled.
"Ding—"
The elevator reached its destination.
Ye Tong, lost in thought, was startled by the sight of a few people standing outside when she came to.
"Oh my god, what are you all doing standing here? You scared me..."
Bai Xiaotang, with a gossiping face, looked behind her, "Sister Xiaotong, where’s President Feng?"
Ye Tong rolled her eyes, "He’s obviously gone home!"
"Why did he leave so early?" Bai Xiaotang grinned mischievously, winking in a way that invited a punch.
Feeling quite embarrassed, Ye Tong pretended to be composed as she walked out of the elevator, raising her arm to point at the time.
"Have you even checked what time it is? Would Mr. Bai even allow an outside man to be here at this hour?"
Bai Xiaotang hooked her arm, laughing heartily, "Sister Xiaotong, did you have a falling out with President Feng?"
"How did you know?" Ye Tong was a bit surprised.
Bai Xiaotang pointed to Ji Ning, who had just been standing by the door, and smiled, "Sister Ning told me, she said to find a lawyer to help you draft a termination contract. That your cooperation with the Xingyu Group is about to fall through again."
Ye Tong: ...
She felt both touched and a bit annoyed, why was even Sister Ning coming out to watch the drama with her?
Still touched, she hurried forward a couple of steps, wanting to hug Ji Ning from behind, only to have her shoulder firmly held in place.
"The breach of contract penalty, you pay!"
"Okay..." Ye Tong’s eyes curved into a smile.
The feeling of loss vanished completely, after all, she wasn’t entirely alone.
She was most grateful for choosing to stay with Bai Xiaotang back then, meeting so many good friends.
The livestream storm ended with Star Entertainment Live’s public apology. The accounts, [Brother Ning’s Food Hunt] and [Princess Tangtang], became a sensation.
Even though Ji Ning hadn’t posted any content, her follower count surpassed 2 million, while the [Princess Tangtang] account, as [Brother Ning’s Food Hunt]’s alt account, blasted past the 500k mark.
Everyone involved or curious about the incident wanted to uncover who this big shot was that could make the Star Entertainment Live platform publicly apologize for a month.
But no one could dig up any information, even some students familiar with them at Anhe Middle School tried to anonymously expose something, only to have it deleted within two seconds, and their accounts silenced for half a year.
Ji Ning and Bai Xiaotang’s identities became a complete mystery, only Ye Tong among them gained fame.
Ye Tong’s previous incident on the set of "Gone with the Wind" was dug up and used for a hype wave.
Soon after, the "Gone with the Wind" crew took the opportunity to announce the cast and release time, unleashing a strong ad campaign.
Ye Tong’s set photos were also included in the promotional materials.
It was as if everyone suddenly understood, giving Star Entertainment a thumbs up, with one big word of admiration.
When it comes to manufacturing public opinion and generating hype, Star Entertainment certainly deserves its top spot as an entertainment company.
Ye Tong’s account on Star Entertainment’s social media platform experienced a small spike in followers.
But Ye Tong had no time to care about any of this, as she was currently in sportswear, sweating profusely, and exhausted like a dog on the playground of Anhe Middle School.
Why was she, a long-graduated bug of the working world, mingling with film crews, also training alongside these middle school students?
Ji Ning, looking at the group in front of her who had just managed to run 10 laps with weights, glanced at Huang Ying with an impassive expression.
As if to say, is this the result of your training?
Huang Ying instantly felt a headache, trying hard not to roll her eyes.
Do you really think everyone can be a freak like you?
