TRMP Chapter 35

Jiang Yifeng was especially happy when he told Xie Jingshen about his little plans for the day.

Chen Ruiyang repeatedly used the excuse of promoting a CP to boost his popularity, yet Jiang Yifeng ended up taking the blame. Jiang Yifeng knew he wouldn’t let it go easily, but he also wanted to disgust Chen Ruiyang a little.

“I’m not sure if I can get that endorsement,” Jiang Yifeng said, sitting cross-legged on the floor, squinting his eyes like a sly fox. “But even if I don’t get it, I want to make him feel anxious for a few days.”

“That’s great.”

Xie Jingshen’s indulgent praise soothed Jiang Yifeng’s wounded heart. Satisfied, Jiang Yifeng finally generously began to reflect on his bad temper.

“I didn’t used to compete with them, and I didn’t have much I wanted to compete with them for.”

Jiang Yifeng felt as if he had been spoiled by Xie Jingshen. In the past, Jiang Yifeng would always endure as much as he could. The storms on the internet, no matter how harsh, couldn’t affect his mood.

The insults in the entertainment industry were always the same old song and dance, full of swear words but with very little real harm.

Jiang Yifeng originally thought he was thick-skinned and didn’t care, but if Xie Jingshen indulged his temper, he would get angry too.

Jiang Yifeng said shyly, then looked at Xie Jingshen with his bright eyes.

He looked like a little kitten who had done something wrong, gazing at Xie Jingshen meekly.

Xie Jingshen’s heart stirred at Jiang Yifeng’s gaze. He tried hard to suppress his rippling emotions, putting on a calm and reliable facade.

“Why not compete?” Xie Jingshen looked at Jiang Yifeng and said softly, “He wasn’t originally on the invitation list. His appearance is a competition. You were just forced to respond, so why not compete?”

“He dragged you into the water to compete with his rivals, and he used your name everywhere without your permission. He wants to compete, so why can’t you?”

Jiang Yifeng wasn’t completely without edge.

Just like in the time when he disappeared, Jiang Yifeng could still use his acting skills to suppress Wang Mingchuan.

Xie Jingshen didn’t dislike it.

On the contrary, he liked it even more, and felt soft-hearted.

He was just right for his taste in every way.

And no matter what he said, Jiang Yifeng listened very carefully.

After he finished speaking, Jiang Yifeng nodded happily, his cheeks flushed with joy.

Jiang Yifeng didn’t insist on getting that endorsement—partly because he knew that besides the results of the audition, the strength of the star’s company also played a big role, and partly because Jiang Yifeng was afraid that if he seemed too concerned, and the final result was disappointing, Xie Jingshen would be sad.

Xie Jingshen used a meeting opportunity to exchange for his endorsement, but he himself failed to seize it…

Jiang Yifeng didn’t want Xie Jingshen to feel bad.

He only rested for two days before changing back into his delivery uniform.

This time, Jiang Yifeng even chose a cool windproof goggle to cover his face, riding his little electric scooter through the streets and alleys, happily delivering every meal with rabbit ears on his head.

And every night, Jiang Yifeng would carefully submit his resume to various film crews that were publicly recruiting actors, waiting for his next opportunity to film.

He was so busy that his feet barely touched the ground. In his free time, he would chat and act cute with Xie Jingshen, and say good night to each other. In a few days, he had put the endorsement out of his mind.

On the contrary, Chen Ruiyang was worried every day.

To ensure everything was foolproof, Chen Ruiyang returned to the company and specifically asked his agent to contact the other company.

He used the publicity strength and connections of his company to maneuver several times, but the other party always gave vague answers.

——Niche brands have their own unique audience. Luxury goods maintain high barriers to entry not to allow everyone to enjoy them.

“Don’t worry, I heard that the other party’s national director has already loosened his stance, and you will definitely get the national endorsement,” the agent carefully comforted Chen Ruiyang. He saw a layer of haze in Chen Ruiyang’s eyes and couldn’t help but smile, “What are you afraid of? Are you afraid of Jiang Yifeng? He’s been in this business for so long, he debuted earlier than you. Is he popular now?”

“But…”

“I found his early photos, and he has the same face now. He hasn’t become popular in five years with that face. Do you think he can become more popular than you now with all the black material he has?” The agent patted Chen Ruiyang’s shoulder hard. In Chen Ruiyang’s worried and confused eyes, the agent sneered, “Only you are the best national ambassador. You will drive sales, bring fame to the product, and you can also use your channels to help with product marketing.”

The agent’s words fell into Chen Ruiyang’s ears one by one.

Chen Ruiyang’s body trembled.

He nodded hard.

However, there was still a trace of uncertainty in his heart.

He didn’t even have the mood to hype up his CP with Jiang Yifeng, only waiting for the announcement of the spokesperson.

“Congratulations, you passed the audition and became the national spokesperson.”

When the call came to Chen Ruiyang’s mobile phone, the heavy and unstable mood gradually calmed down. He breathed a sigh of relief, and his heart gradually felt more confident.

But the next second, the news the agent brought back shattered his psychological defenses.

“Jiang Yifeng has won the global ambassadorship for their ‘Mí’ series!”

When Jiang Yifeng received the notification, Luo Qi on the other end of the phone was almost going crazy with excitement.

Last time he was too excited and almost caused the brand to suspect something. If it hadn’t been that the news spread too widely later, and it was unclear which company leaked the news, it would have barely passed.

This time, Luo Qi went to the company’s recording studio specifically. In the soundproofed room, Luo Qi’s voice almost shattered Jiang Yifeng’s ears.

“Global! Global!”

Jiang Yifeng’s original excitement was gone from Luo Qi’s loud shout.

He tried hard to suppress his emotions and asked calmly, “How much is the endorsement fee?”

Luo Qi: “…”

Luo Qi felt sorry for Jiang Yifeng’s ignorance of the value of this for a moment.

Jiang Yifeng thought Luo Qi didn’t hear him clearly, so he repeated it again.

Luo Qi wiped his face hard before opening his mouth to ask, “Jiang Yifeng, if I said that only about 200,000 would be distributed to you…”

“That’s almost as much as I make filming for three months!”

“Excluding miscellaneous expenses, I can fill a big hole!”

Jiang Yifeng smiled so wide that his eyes disappeared.

Luo Qi felt heartache for Jiang Yifeng.

He sighed helplessly.

“Schedule a time to audition,” Luo Qi instructed. “When you become popular, there will be more money in the future.”

“Okay, then I’ll work hard.” Jiang Yifeng smiled happily, but didn’t really care about Luo Qi’s words.

The heavy shackles on him were about to be unlocked.

Jiang Yifeng’s eyebrows softened, but he didn’t forget to make a small request.

“Will they give us free perfume?”

“Of course, you’re the spokesperson, they should give you a few more bottles…”

“Then can I choose a fragrance?”

Jiang Yifeng enthusiastically wanted the brand to not only pay the endorsement fee, but also give him a bottle of perfume.

A perfume worth 800 euros.

“If it’s not the series you’re endorsing, you may have to buy it yourself.”

As soon as Luo Qi’s words came out, Jiang Yifeng immediately looked like a frostbitten puppy.

He deliberately concealed this news, just wanting to show Xie Jingshen after getting the perfume.

He reluctantly took out his phone and looked at the balance, only a few small numbers.

——Hey, how come even though I’m a spokesperson, I still have to spend money to buy perfume.

Jiang Yifeng sighed.

——Maybe I should send that doll to Xie Jingshen first.

He silently took out the small doll sewn with clumsy needlework, which he had sewn stitch by stitch, learning from his appearance in the mirror.

He originally planned to give it to Xie Jingshen as a gift, but unfortunately, the doll had one big eye and one small eye, and the cute crooked mouth that Jiang Yifeng imagined didn’t come out.

It was ugly.

The small doll he sewed in his spare time was too ugly, but after all, it was his first time trying to sew a doll.

Jiang Yifeng held the toy in his hand, lowered his head and carefully sewed the black ankle ring around its ankle, but because the doll’s feet were too small, the needle accidentally pierced through the doll’s foot when he was sewing.

Jiang Yifeng suddenly lowered his head and cried out in surprise, holding his hand.

He looked at the blood bead on his finger, rubbed it first, but found that the piercing was a little deep.

Blood beads dripped out one by one, and soon stained the doll’s leg with blood.

Jiang Yifeng held up his orchid finger and finished the last two stitches, then quickly took his mask and duck tongue hat and went out.

When he was sitting in the waiting area at the entrance of the hospital, Jiang Yifeng belatedly realized that he had also brought out the small doll.

He grabbed the doll’s short arms and said with great resentment, “Now I can’t give it away, and I even hurt myself.”

He wondered if he should order that perfume now.

However, suddenly, the white frame lit up.

The faint color made Jiang Yifeng subconsciously block the bleeding finger, but he couldn’t hide the hospital logo behind him.

Xie Jingshen was originally smiling, but the moment he saw the screen, his face turned cold.

“What’s wrong?”

His eyes were closer, and Jiang Yifeng rubbed his fingertips awkwardly. His hiding action instantly exposed the ugly little doll in front of Xie Jingshen.

Xie Jingshen glanced at the doll that was so ugly that it didn’t look like a human.

Then he put his gaze back on Jiang Yifeng.

“Why are you at the hospital?”

“My hand… my hand is injured.”

Jiang Yifeng took out his hand, the bleeding finger stained with red. It didn’t look very scary, but it made Xie Jingshen’s heart tremble.

It’s just a hand injury…

Xie Jingshen usually didn’t care about such small injuries, but at this moment, he wished he could stick to the screen and focus all his attention on Jiang Yifeng.

“You…” He couldn’t give Jiang Yifeng any advice through the screen.

Xie Jingshen only felt that this sense of powerlessness made him unusually unhappy.

He pursed his lips tightly.

Jiang Yifeng was afraid that he would worry, so he subconsciously wanted to divert Xie Jingshen’s attention.

“Xie Jingshen, look at this little doll, does it look like me?”

“No.” Xie Jingshen answered first, then looked at Jiang Yifeng: “Did you get hurt while sewing the doll?”

Jiang Yifeng sighed in his heart that Xie Jingshen was really too perceptive.

Then he smiled with his eyes curved: “I haven’t stabbed myself before… so deeply. I accidentally missed this time.”

“If you dislike the doll, then I won’t give it to you.”

Jiang Yifeng put the doll into his clothes, his tone a little troubled.

“I originally thought I could do anything well… I made the seal last time, and it looked very good. But I’m really bad at sewing dolls.”

Jiang Yifeng lowered his eyes sadly as he spoke, but Xie Jingshen looked at the little doll: “Why did you want to give it to me?”

Actually, the doll was quite ugly.

It also caused Jiang Yifeng to hurt his hand.

But looking closely, it seemed ugly and cute.

“Because you like dolls.”

The author has something to say:

Xie Jingshen: My wife made such a good doll for me the first time. She’s just talented! Super awesome!
