Chapter 664: She is Cold Now, She is No Longer Popular
After attending a day shift with Lu Jingzhi, Jiang Yuning could not help but feel very bored.
At this point, she finally understood what holding an idle job means. He had a meeting in the morning, signed a letter in the afternoon and looked at some documents in the evening. He had freedom of movement and no restrictions at all. How could this possibly be a promotion? This was literally a frontier distribution.
At half past five in the evening, Lu Jingzhi got off work on time as he took his coat and went to the cinema with his wife.
At this time, there was a very strong Christmas atmosphere on the streets. The Christmas trees were placed at the entrances of all the major shopping malls and there were also many young ladies on the street who were selling Christmas hats and headbands which looked very cute and playful.
The movie theater that Jiang Yuning booked was newly built and there were not many merchants around.
Moreover, since it was winter, everyone was wrapped in hats and scarves so no one really noticed Jiang Yuning for the time being. Jiang Yuning and Lu Jingzhi also got into the movie theater with the rest of the other audience.
Jiang Yuning chose to watch Song Chenxing’s new film. The movie was called and it was released today. The genre of the movie was a crime thriller.
It was really unique for a crime thriller to be released on Christmas Eve. The producer and the entire cast of the movie was also very awesome.
The main feature of the movie was a crime committed by a man with high IQ. What Jiang Yuning was interested in finding out was whether this was considered a high IQ in Lu Jingzhi’s eyes.
Jiang Yuning originally thought that since this was the six o’clock movie, there would not be many people in the theater. However, she has seriously underestimated her master’s box office appeal. Moreover, Christmas Eve was also many young couple’s Valentine’s Day in disguise. The young couples would watch the thriller movie and they would then hug one another as they shivered because of the cold at night. Wouldn’t this be a particularly beautiful thing?
Now, she finally understood a little cinematic lineup technique.
Oh my!
After the movie began, Jiang Yuning and Lu Jingzhi sat amongst the crowd of audience. From time to time, they would be some people who would cast some suspicious glances at them.
Jiang Yuning was afraid that someone would eventually recognize her. Therefore, she leaned on Lu Jingzhi’s shoulder all the way. She was entirely focused on the plot and she did not even pay attention to anyone around her at all.
However, there were still people who recognized her in the end.
The people who knew her the best were naturally the Ginger Candies.
They were more familiar with her private clothes and they were also familiar with the outstanding man who was seated next to her. However, out of the group of friends who saw Jiang Yuning, there was also one of Shen Zhongwei’s friends.
“Why are you still secretly taking pictures of her? I asked you to jump over the wall and become Weiwei’s fans instead but you refused to do so. You did not believe me when I said that Jiang Yuning is being idle at home. So, do you believe me now? It is already the end of the year, so which artistes is not busy preparing for the various upcoming awards ceremony? At this time, Jiang Yuning still has the leisure time to come and watch movies.”
The girl’s voice was not loud but everyone who was watching the movie was very quiet. Therefore, everyone who was seated around her could hear what she was discussing.
Jiang Yuning?
A lot of leisure time?
Watching a movie?
The people around her immediately looked left and right to look for Jiang Yuning and they eventually found Jiang Yuning sitting in the hall amongst the crowd of people.
However, they knew that it would not be appropriate to make much noise when they were watching a movie in the cinema. Therefore, they simply took out their cell phones as they secretly took pictures of Jiang Yuning.
“It is your business if you want to climb the wall and become someone else’s fan. I am a Ginger Candy and I will always be one of the Ginger Candies! Even if Jiang Yuning really leaves the entertainment circle, I will not stop being her fan! You will never understand what Jiang Yuning means to the Ginger Candies!”
“If I know that she is doing well and she is in a good mood to come out and watch a movie at the cinema, then I am more than satisfied.”
The two Ginger Candies took pictures of Jiang Yuning but they did not circulate the pictures at all.
“I can tell that you are really very loyal to her. However, I really do not understand why you would even be loyal to her when she could not be bothered with you at all? She is cold now, she is not popular anymore.”
“That is our own business. What has it got to do with you? Why do you care whose fans we are? We are just students in the same dormitory so can you stop being so narrow-minded? I am sorry but I am not interested to become a fan of that plastic faced Shen Zhongwei!”
The four girls who were sitting at the back of the cinema hall were about to break into a fight. At this time, Jiang Yuning leaned in before she whispered to Lu Jingzhi, “Second brother, let’s leave now.”
“Yes.” Lu Jingzhi nodded.
The both of them stood up in the auditorium before they left the theater halfway through the movie. At this time, Shen Zhongwei’s fans got even more excessive.
“Hahaha. Look at your idol. She does not even care about you and she could not even be bothered to put in a good word for you! She can only pretend not to notice you at all. I told you that she does not care about any of you!”
“As long as Jiang Yuning’s fan support club is still there and as long as the three major platforms are still operating, then no one has the right to say that she has already given up on us! No one can do so!”
…
“I am sorry, second brother. I wanted to watch a movie with you peacefully.” After leaving the cinema, the both of them walked on an unmanned path and Jiang Yuning smiled apologetically at Lu Jingzhi.
Lu Jingzhi turned around to look at Jiang Yuning before he placed a hat on her and said, “Actually…you do not have to retire. I know that you really enjoy acting and being in variety programs. You don’t have to give up your own career just because of my job transfer.”
“You are finally saying it after keeping it inside for two whole days?”
The reason why Jiang Yuning accompanied Lu Jingzhi to work today was because she wanted to hear his inner thoughts. However, she really did not expect Lu Jingzhi to be hold back until night time before he finally decided to speak up.
“During this period of time, I have heard a lot of gossip and rumors. I have heard very bad rumors and I think that what you have heard would definitely be even more overwhelming. Therefore, I can accept this. I can accept the fact that no one in the entertainment circle can understand me. I will continue facing all of these difficulties and I will deal with all these trouble in time to come. For me, this might not necessarily be a bad thing.”
“Therefore, I do not think that I am making a sacrifice or giving anything up at all. I am going to seize and take all of my future opportunities.”
No matter how good Jiang Yuning said she was doing right now, Lu Jingzhi knew that she was still making a sacrifice for him.
However, since Jiang Yuning was still being so persistent, then Lu Jingzhi did not intend to stop her anymore.
“I know. In fact, no matter what I am doing, you can always be protecting me. I want to tell you that it is precisely because you are always protecting and indulging me that I should…protect our family too.”
The little descendant has really matured.
“Then, should I congratulate the artiste director for taking office in advance?”
“But, I think that I really should give the Ginger Candies an explanation. During this period of time, they must also be fed up and frustrated because of all the rumors.”
What kind of data would be good for half a month? That new artiste was really creating a scene when she simply just became a little more famous. Then, if she has really lost her popularity, did it mean that she was not anyone anymore?
Even if Jiang Yuning simply left the cinema halfway through the movie, this incident also made news on the internet.
Jiang Yuning appeared in the movie theater and she finally lost after getting insulted by other people’s fans. Was this fair?
[Was Jiang Yuning running away?]
[I also found out an interesting thing. One of the candidates who is running for the prize of the Best Actress in the Golden Magnolia Awards with Jiang Yuning, is Shen Zhongwei’s aunt!]
[Jiang Yuning is already not popular. So, her chances of winning is very unlikely, right?]
[I think that it is impossible for Jiang Yuning to win the prize. Thank you. Why don’t you take a look at the momentum of Shen Zhongwei and her aunt?]
Because of this, Shen Zhongwei’s fans were all extremely arrogant and they thought that their idol was number one in the universe.
