Chapter 279: Yan Xin

Su Ran assumed that the two livestreams would differ because of the magnitude of interest in the lottery draw, but she failed to account for the different vibes emanating from each production crew.
“Guys, why is there such a big difference in the atmosphere of the live broadcast?!” The favorable public opinion that Su Ran had orchestrated for herself was discarded. Some media instead made a spur-of-the-moment comparison between the two live broadcasts and sharply mocked them on camera.
The netizens in the comments section were even more blunt.
[I’m dying of laughter. That, or the second embarrassment of watching Su Ran fumbling with the entire audience alone.]
[Why does she look like she’s in an interview? She is interrogating everyone in the room. It’s so strange.]
[Interview is not the word I’d use. She’s floundering about like a schoolkid in class. The kind where she doesn’t even have the answers prepared.]
[I don’t even know who else is in Su Ran’s production team. I’m only watching this for the lottery.]
[Isn’t it the same for Luo Ying’s? Her broadcast only picked up when some tycoon threw his back account into the mix.]
[But Director Su is being so open about the filming process. Everyone is very active. You can tell that they’re putting their heart into it.]
[Cheng Zhen has such a vibe that Su Ran almost looks pedestrian.]
[The chemistry between Luo Ying and Xie Yun is so good! Yan Xin and Su Ran seem so distant. I don’t even see them attempting to have small talk…]
There was a lot of discussion on the Internet. As she watched, Su Ran felt a pit in her stomach. The original plan was scrapped, and she even asked the group to tone things down.
Yan Xin, as the male lead in Su Ran’s drama, heaved a sigh of relief. He was familiar with Su Ran’s notoriety. First, she was the boss of his entertainment company, and then she was a director. There were always many rumors about her, both true and false.
He had no interest in deciding whether or not they were true, but he was certain that he did not wish to become embroiled in the debates surrounding them.
The only reason he agreed to direct this show was because he owed the director a favor.
Yan Xin was relieved to see that nobody was spreading untrue rumors about him and Su Ran.
“Xin, why are you so tense?” Yan Xin’s manager could feel his unease.
“Fei Zi, you don’t understand. This isn’t like home. Here, fans can get absolutely zealous.” Yan Xin shook his head firmly. “So, before I get my goddess, I can’t have a relationship with other women. Otherwise, my goddess will definitely not accept me!”
Fei Zi was speechless. “Even if Su Ran decides to stir up a scandal with you, she’s not going to drag you into her bed. How would that affect your life?
Where did you hear all this?”
Yan Xin was a local, but he grew up abroad, so he spoke with an accent.
On the other hand, Fei Zi was the complete opposite. He was a foreigner, but he had worked here for many years. Perhaps he was even more of a local than a local.
However, Yan Xin had a unique understanding the culture and was very confident.
“My grandmother! She told me herself. She can’t be wrong.” No matter how Fei Zi refuted, Yan Xin was very certain.
Fei Zi was helpless. He was also aware of how Yan Xin’s grandmother had raised him to view the world through rose-colored glasses.
“You don’t even know who your goddess is. Is there any use in keeping yourself as pure as jade?” Fei Zi had to avoid fighting him and instead talk about something else.
Yan Xin had been doing well at the film academy abroad. He had just acted in a movie that won a small award and had a bright future ahead of him. Yet, he suddenly came back home to act, all the while insisting on finding a goddess.
“How could I not know?” Yan Xin threw a smug look. “I’ve already found out that her name is Cheng Zhen. They said that you can call her Zhenzhen.”
After saying that, Yan Xin became nervous again. “But we haven’t met yet. I should call her Madam Cheng. No, Miss Cheng. Well, when we get to know each other, I’ll ask her if I can call her Zhenzhen. Her name is really nice. If I…”
If Fei Zi was not paying attention, Yan Xin would have already moved on to dreamy tales of his marriage to her.
“Cheng Zhen? Are you sure?” If it were any other time, Fei Zi would have let him ramble on, but when the name “Cheng Zhen” was mentioned, Fei Zi froze in shock.
“What? I’m sure. Why?” Yan Xin was a little puzzled.
“You were in the middle of the d*mn broadcast just now and didn’t notice?” Fei Zi looked at Yan Xin as if he was looking at a fool. “One of the actresses in the competing production team is Cheng Zhen.”
“Ah?” Yan Xin was stunned.
Fei Zi helplessly tapped on his phone and threw it in front of Yan Xin.. “Isn’t the one in the middle your goddess?”
