TRMP Chapter 6
by VolareXie Jingshen hung up the phone after speaking.
He wasn’t quite satisfied, so he took his phone and searched the internet for reviews of otome games.
Unfortunately, he couldn’t find a game of the same type, but he saw various tactics used by otome games to force players to spend money.
“You think you can make me submit with a pretty wife? Well, you’re absolutely right.”
“Wuwuwu XXX you’ve ruined my life! Could the new models and portraits be made even uglier? You’re forcing me to spend money to buy new clothes for my wife!”
“The new gacha pool has SSR cards with my wife’s exclusive swimsuit photos. I spent two thousand and still didn’t get one, that’s too much!”
Various accusations and condemnations of otome games forcing people to spend money emerged endlessly, the methods were so impressive that even the old capitalist Xie Jingshen was amazed.
Xie Jingshen felt that he could also try to venture into the game industry, but the mountain of work piled up in front of him forced him to dismiss the idea of increasing his workload again.
Xie Jingshen planned to completely give up on this money-grabbing game, but when he thought of the little person in the game who had a smiling face towards him one second, and the next second was standing opposite others with his head down, being pointed at and reprimanded but could only apologize softly…
Xie Jingshen suddenly felt that there was nothing wrong with scamming for money.
He doesn’t lack money anyway.
Since he feels unhappy, why not spend money until he’s happy?
Xie Jingshen silently turned on his phone screen, trying to bring up the recharge interface.
However, his hand dragged several times and couldn’t find the recharge interface.
All the preparation that had filled his heart suddenly deflated, Xie Jingshen squinted his eyes and put the phone aside.
——He was already prepared to spend money, but he couldn’t find a way to spend it.
Xie Jingshen pursed his lips, and in the end didn’t say anything.
Su Xiaoyu had given Jiang Yifeng a good look this morning, but only a few minutes later, Chen Ruiyang gave Jiang Yifeng a big blow.
Jiang Yifeng delayed the shooting time, and Chen Ruiyang’s assistant pointed at Jiang Yifeng’s nose triumphantly, scolding in front of the entire crew: “The shooting schedule was delayed because of you, and now you’re making the entire crew wait for you alone? You’re really capable.”
Jiang Yifeng lowered his head, but his mind was thinking about Xie Jingshen’s appearance just now.
“System, what does Xie Jingshen look like?” All he saw was a cloud of transparent light, and he couldn’t see Xie Jingshen’s true appearance at all.
Just looking at the shape vaguely revealed from the white mist, Xie Jingshen seemed to be a handsome guy with long legs and short hair.
The faintly revealed sharp chin, and the thin, pursed lips looked particularly good-looking, but also seemed very indifferent.
[Your binding partner’s appearance is quite well-matched to you. When we select bindable partners, we compare the appearance, shape, and characteristics of both parties.]
[He is very compatible with you.]
“So good-looking?”
Jiang Yifeng’s slightly doubtful words made the system doubt itself for a while.
And when Chen Ruiyang’s assistant had finished scolding, he pointed to the main hall: “The director and the others are waiting for you.”
Jiang Yifeng entered the door, Chen Ruiyang still looked askance at him, not looking at him directly at all.
When the filming started, Chen Ruiyang silently turned his head to look at Jiang Yifeng.
Jiang Yifeng’s character was to fall in love with Chen Ruiyang at first sight, and express his love for Chen Ruiyang in the court.
And Chen Ruiyang, as a cold male god, had a relatively indifferent and distant attitude.
It was originally a script that was particularly unfavorable to Jiang Yifeng, but during the filming process, Zhao Jinming was angered by Chen Ruiyang’s lack of cooperation—Chen Ruiyang seemed to have calculated that Zhao Jinming would be reluctant to delay the filming time and would relax his control over the entire scene, so he was particularly unrestrained when filming.
The cold male god doesn’t like to be touched by others, and doesn’t like to talk to others.
When Jiang Yifeng’s character leaned in, it instead caused the other party to be unhappy.
And Chen Ruiyang almost expressed his displeasure very obviously—he pursed his lips and shook off Jiang Yifeng’s hand, saying coldly: “I don’t like to be touched by others.”
Jiang Yifeng’s hand stopped in place.
A clear expression of disappointment appeared on his face, and his originally smiling eyelashes also drooped down.
He didn’t say a word, but his disappointment was already written all over his face.
“Cut.”
Zhao Jinming called a pause, then frowned and looked at Chen Ruiyang.
“Your attitude should be milder, and your expression should not be so rushed.”
“Director Zhao, I understand the character to be like this.”
Chen Ruiyang obviously didn’t understand what Zhao Jinming was talking about, but instead turned his head and smiled at Zhao Jinming: “Director Zhao, aren’t we supposed to speed up the filming process? If there’s no big problem, let’s talk about it after we finish filming, okay?”
The undercurrents between the two people were extremely obvious.
Zhao Jinming didn’t say anything, just returned to the camera.
The previous filming was interrupted, and another take had to be done.
Jiang Yifeng performed even better than before—a supporting character who is disliked can also have his own little thoughts, such as the slight blush on his cheeks when facing someone he likes, such as the bright look in his eyes when he looks at someone, such as the sudden increase in the speed of his eyelashes trembling, the corners of his mouth about to turn up, making his handsome face even more beautiful and attractive.
And Chen Ruiyang still maintained a cold expression, even showing more disgust than before.
The next few scenes also had to be filmed in the main hall.
Jiang Yifeng, as a background board, still performed very diligently.
His gaze was completely focused on Chen Ruiyang, his bright eyes following Chen Ruiyang’s back, looking particularly bright.
And Chen Ruiyang also calmed down and seriously finished filming the subsequent scenes.
Chen Ruiyang and Su Xiaoyu had heavy reshoot tasks. Jiang Yifeng only had four scenes today, and the filming ended at one o’clock in the afternoon.
Perhaps afraid that Jiang Yifeng would not have enough to eat and affect the afternoon filming, today’s boxed lunch was normally delivered to him, and after Jiang Yifeng finished filming in the afternoon, he stood as a background board until six o’clock.
After a day of filming, Jiang Yifeng sat on the edge of the set, rubbing his calves, his whole body wilting.
“So tired.” He took out his phone and looked at the take-out milk tea, but the price of twenty or thirty yuan for each milk tea, in addition to the delivery fee, made it really difficult for him to spend.
He endured it again and again, and finally put his phone back in his pocket, took a gulp of mineral water.
“Jiang Yifeng!” A familiar voice suddenly came from outside the set. He turned his head with the mineral water, and saw Luo Qi standing at the door waving at him.
Jiang Yifeng ran over quickly, seeing the pull rod suitcase in Luo Qi’s hand, a few smiles appeared in his eyes.
“Why did you come so late?” Jiang Yifeng took the pull rod suitcase.
“Haven’t been bullied, right? Do you need me to find an assistant to accompany you?” Luo Qi asked in a low voice, he glanced at the situation on the set, Su Xiaoyu’s assistant was helping her massage her shoulders, the makeup artist surrounded her to touch up her makeup, and another assistant seized the opportunity to feed Su Xiaoyu water.
Several other important actors were surrounded by two or three assistants to take care of them, only Jiang Yifeng was alone.
“No need.” Jiang Yifeng waved his hand. “I’ll save some money by myself…”
Even the work of an assistant has to be paid for by Jiang Yifeng.
According to his situation of being squeezed out in the crew, if they don’t give him a boxed lunch one day, Jiang Yifeng can’t eat a single serving of white rice with an assistant.
“There’s no need to save like this.” Luo Qi knew Jiang Yifeng’s concerns, he resisted, and in the end didn’t persuade him any further, but just told him: “I’ve asked the company to deduct the lowest percentage from the 500,000 yuan salary… pay back the money as soon as possible, don’t make yourself so tired.”
“Okay.” Jiang Yifeng nodded, smiling particularly brightly.
Luo Qi couldn’t say anything else.
After he left, Jiang Yifeng dragged his suitcase back to the set with difficulty.
He confirmed his filming schedule for the next few days with the assistant director, and then went back to the hotel alone, pulling his suitcase.
He was sitting at the table eating wontons, when the system’s “ding—” prompt sounded in his ear.
Jiang Yifeng subconsciously changed direction, and the bright white frame appeared in front of him again.
“Did he make things difficult for you?”
Xie Jingshen’s tone of voice was very gentle.
Jiang Yifeng was stunned for a moment, and after a long time he realized it was about Chen Ruiyang.
The other party wanted to find fault, but unfortunately Jiang Yifeng was in a daze at the time, and didn’t hear what the other party said at all.
When Xie Jingshen asked, he remembered what happened in the morning.
So Jiang Yifeng shook his head, the smile in his eyes was even stronger, and when he looked up at Xie Jingshen, his eyes curved into crescents, “It’s okay, he didn’t say anything.”
Xie Jingshen doesn’t know how to chat with little people.
Seeing that Jiang Yifeng was eating, Xie Jingshen changed the topic to dinner.
“What are you eating for dinner?”
“Crab roe wontons, twenty-five yuan a bowl, the taste is okay!”
Jiang Yifeng happily pushed the bowl a little closer to the white frame.
Tender yellow fillings rolled out of a bowl of steaming wontons.
But Xie Jingshen’s movements paused slightly.
“It shouldn’t be real crab roe.”
Xie Jingshen calmly commented.
Jiang Yifeng sighed in his heart that Xie Jingshen really doesn’t know how to talk.
No wonder he needs the Paper Lover system.
“But it tastes very good, I’ll treat you to real crab roe wontons next time.”
Jiang Yifeng’s spoon was turning in the bowl, he lowered his head and bit open a wonton with his teeth, and gently sipped the soup.
Xie Jingshen’s gaze always stayed on Jiang Yifeng.
He took a deep breath, couldn’t help changing his posture, then propped his chin and continued to communicate with the little person: “Is it delicious?”
“Yes, the taste is very good.”
Jiang Yifeng’s oath made Xie Jingshen a little suspicious.
His fingers rubbed his chin, and he didn’t ask anything else, but focused on Jiang Yifeng, seriously watching him finish eating.
Jiang Yifeng tilted his head and asked Xie Jingshen if he wanted to hear him recite his lines, Xie Jingshen nodded, and then he felt that he was paying too much attention to Jiang Yifeng, so he coughed and justified himself: “I also have to work.”
“It’s so late…” Jiang Yifeng looked at the time, worriedly said: “Then I’ll supervise you, at ten o’clock in the evening, we’ll go to bed together.”
“Okay.”
Xie Jingshen didn’t think he could still be interested in staring at his phone for two hours.
He put his phone aside, heard the gentle lines coming from inside, Xie Jingshen took out the project book and continued reading, he had only turned two pages when he suddenly pressed the button on the table.
The assistant carefully pushed the door open, and saw Xie Jingshen’s cold face at a glance.
“Help me buy a serving of crab roe wontons.”
After Xie Jingshen finished speaking, he lowered his head to look at the project book again.
Leaving the assistant with a head full of question marks: “Didn’t President Xie just have dinner?”
The author has something to say:
President Xie: Let me taste what my wife ate~
