Speak Money Not Love with the Master - Chapter 11

During the intensive shooting of <The Seamen>, Ye Wei’s other movie, <Sniper>, was scheduled to release on the Spring Festival. In the movie, she plays a sniper that works together with the special military forces to capture border drug traffickers.

The shooting of the movie had already been finished for a year and a half, and they were cooperating with the Censorship Checking Team to carry out many adjustments. Finally, it was going to be shown on Spring Festival of this year.

Before the official release, Ye Wei coordinated with <The Seamen> cast and crew for two evenings at the theater, in order to participate in the movie premiere conference at Ninghai.

At the site of the press conference, she would need to talk about the movie production and her acting and learning experiences. Ye Wei had gone through these formalities countless times, and knew how to handle them from the back of her heart. 　　

Today was also the first time Ye Wei saw the movie. The hardships during the filming process were vivid in her mind. She seemed to be able to remember the pains as she saw each scene pass. She sustained the most injuries during this movie’s shooting. The greatest hardship was the weight of the sniper’s rifle that pressed down on her shoulders until they became bluish and purple during the filming. During the fight scenes, her arms also became bluish here and purple there. However, her investments were still worth it. The movie became a huge success, which was all owed to the director.　

The media and fans gave high evaluations to the film itself and even more continuous recognition to Ye Wei’s first female lead role as the sniper. The big screen went black, the lights came on, and then came thunderous applause.　

In the small interview stage after the film viewing, the production team was again invited to the stage.

Fans gasped in amazement at Ye Wei’s performance. She was tall and graceful, her fight scenes flowed very naturally, and her exploding snipes were even more aweing. It was precisely that meticulous smiling face which made one frightened for their own life.　

Ye Wei’s snipes. What she sniped wasn’t someone’s head but people’s hearts. The fans were unable to sit still for a long time. One after another, they transformed into fangirls cheering loudly.　　

Ye Wei held her microphone. Flabbergasted, she asked the host standing beside her. The mic was able to pick this up, ”Who are they calling their husband?”　

The fans shouted, “You!”

“Husband, you’re so handsome!”　

Ye Wei was taken aback, unable to laugh or cry. The people next to her laughed. The fans were also roaring with laughter. “Husband got startled by our passionate love,” they said.　　

After the movie premiere, praises continued. Fans enthusiastically started topics on Weibo. Suddenly, one particular topic came up.　

#Ye Wei’s Applies a Screen Protector on Her Phone at the Movie Premiere#

This came up in the trending searches.

Fan A: 【At the scene of the premiere, I was sitting in the sixth seat on the third row. I could clearly see the goddess’s long eyelashes. She’s really beautiful. But while she was watching the movie, she kept fiddling with her phone. Later, someone asked her what she was doing. She said that her screen protector film was fringed and needed to be changed.】　

Fan B: 【What kind of beautiful goddess is this? No, I can’t believe this could be work done by a goddess.】

Fan C: 【No need for your opinion. In my opinion, do you guys remember this particular interview? Someone asked her how she was able to maintain such a good temperament. She joked and said she ate spicy noodles.】

Fan A:【Not only does my goddess have a cold temperament, but her character is also down-to-earth. I love this part about her. I shall stan…!】

Master Luo was far away in Italy. Yang Lin occasionally followed Weibo, especially Ye Wei’s activities. Although Chief Luo did not instruct him to follow Ye Wei’s activities, he still had the ability to make insights as a subordinate.

“Chief Luo, Wei Jie has come up on the trending searches.” Yang Lin restrained himself from laughing, “At the movie premiere site, she applied a screen protector on her phone.”

Luo Chengyu gave an “en” while signing a document.　

“This does not seem to align with Wei Jie’s character.”

Luo Chengyu’s indifferent face suddenly smiled, “She’s able to do it.”

On the surface, she looked beautiful and aloof. In private, she was a mess. Who would have thought that Ye Wei does not care for her appearance and has such a sloppy image in her private life. She was a woman whose outside appearance differed from the inner reality. What did a screen protector amount to? Luo Chengyu’s expression became faint. Did Ye Wei really stick a screen protector on her phone at the premier site? 　　

What kind of woman was this? His slightly raised face suddenly sank. And she unexpectedly dared to vomit on him.

Seeing his expression sinking, Ye Wei didn’t mention Ye Wei again. “Chief Luo, the Madam called to ask if you will return to China for New Years.”　　

When he was signing a shipping route contract two hours ago, his mother called, but he did not answer. It was probably to ask about this matter. He called back, “Mom, you called earlier. I will return to Beijing before the Spring Festival.”

“That’s good. Do you want to go check on your grandpa? It’d be best if you can persuade him to come back for the New Year.”　　

“I will go see the old man tomorrow. Is Zhi’ang back?”　

“He is back. The guy became thinner. Geez, even if you wanted him to become more self-disciplined, you should’ve cut him some slack. It’s very cold in Siberia.”　

“Tell him to improve his character. I still have some business here to do. I can’t talk to you for now.”　

After New Years, you’ll be thirty-three. It’s time to think about your own problems.”

“En.”　　

Mother Luo hung up and sighed. He replied “en”, showing that he was entirely indifferent. He was such a big adult but hasn’t solved his personal problems, so how could she not be anxious? Even though not having any feelings and knowing only how to make money is a good thing for a family like the Luo Family, as a mother, she hopes to see her own child have a successful career and happy family.　

She turned her head and asked the man next to her, “In this city, which family’s young lady do you think is suitable and can match with Chengyu? Luo? Lu? Zhou? Qin? Gu? Lin? Han? or maybe, Zhuang?”

“Doesn’t Chengyu already have a woman? Why are you still worried?” The previous head of the Luo Family, Luo Qiyuan, was nearly sixty years old and retired when Luo Chengyu turned 30 to start enjoying life.　

“Chengyu would not bring back a woman who isn’t worthy of the Luo Family name. I won’t oppose him having a lover, but I can’t let him have his way when it comes to settling down.”　　

“Is it up to you to care about it?”　

“Hey, can I not care about my own son?”

Luo Qiyuan chuckled, raised his hand to push up his glasses, and continued to read his newspaper about finance and economics. He was too lazy to worry about his son’s affairs.
