The New Year film season in December has already started to heat up, with a rather annoying comedy being released on December 3rd. This movie was invested and produced by one of the most famous veteran actors in China, but it lacks logic, has ridiculous dialogue, and an implausible plot.

However, its box office performance is quite impressive, breaking over ten million yuan on the first day and maintaining a strong momentum. It features many big-name stars and offers plenty of comedic moments as well as some shocking ones. In essence, it's just a movie that people will laugh at for a moment before moving on, although despite the online criticism, its box office numbers remain high.

On December 6th, another film from Hu Yun is set to be released, also highly commercial in nature. Experts predict this could turn out to be the biggest dark horse of this year's New Year films.

Recently, Ruan Wen has been busy promoting these films and posting photos on her Weibo account, including pictures from fan meetings. Although she was fiercely attacked online earlier for her appearance and personality, as well as due to some recent gossip surrounding her, things have improved somewhat in the past few days.

It's much better now than it was before.

Baidu Tieba and Mop forums are full of people criticizing these films. The competition for the New Year film market is fierce, and with so many strong contenders released this year, it's understandable why there’s such a backlash.

During this promotional period, Ruan Wen began shooting advertisements for the 5203 series of jewelry. The director of the jewelry department was an eccentric and strict person who had put her through a grueling week before she managed to complete a five-minute story-based advertisement.

It was truly exhausting.

When Director Li showed his satisfaction with a slight upward curl at the corner of his lips, Ruan Wen felt like praying for deliverance. Thankfully, it’s finally over. Ye Feimo had promised her that he would give her this endorsement fee, and although they were currently in an argumentative phase, he was known to be very credible.

The contract clearly states one million yuan.

Talking about Ye Feimo: she hadn’t seen him for quite a few days. Ruan Wen had gone to the Mingcheng apartment complex several times but didn't have the courage to go up. Cai Xiaojing said this was the typical cold war period between them.

Let it be a cold war, then.

The last thing she expected was that on the day the jewelry ad shoot ended, Ye Feimo would come to the studio and invite all the staff for dinner as a reward for their hard work. Director Li raised his head towards the sky.

He muttered in an uncooperative manner, "Is today the day when the sun sets from the east"

Ye Feimo pretended he didn't hear him and walked away without even glancing at Ruan Wen. The photographer then came over and asked, "Director Li, are you really going to have dinner with General Manager Ye"

"How dare I not go"

"I dare not!"

"Need I ask" Director Li waved his hand and said, "Everyone listen up, General Manager Ye is treating us to a meal. You’ve all been working hard for several days now. Tonight, we’re going to give him a taste of our appetite! We won’t settle for anything less than the most expensive dishes. Got it!"

“Understood!”

Wenrui: "..."

Could she not go Looking at Ye Feimo’s expression, he didn't seem to want to see her either. Could she choose not to attend

Was it okay if I skipped out on this

Cai Xiaojing pulled Wenrui aside for a lecture. "General Manager Ye would be glad if everyone refused to go, but you should definitely attend. If you dare to skip this dinner, your life is over. He’s obviously not inviting us just because he wants to treat us to a meal; can’t you see through his intentions"

"What do you mean by obvious intentions He was seen with Han Bi in the newspaper just days ago. They were dating and shopping together in Paris, then appearing at Jessica’s new collection launch. How could he possibly have time for me now" Wenrui said sourly.

Cai Xiaojing raised her eyebrows. "So you’re interested in his love life I thought you didn’t care."

Wenrui had been reading about Ye Feimo’s romantic entanglements earlier and was still doing so now; she seemed very concerned by this.

Feeling a little embarrassed, Wenrui turned her head away.

"I’m telling you both, how long are you going to keep up this cold war Can’t you just admit your mistake"

"It’s not my fault."

"Then at the very least say sorry. If Second Young Master Ye apologizes to me, I’ll be happy again. Come on, is that so hard to do You’re no General Manager Ye; how would you know what to do"

“Is he a pig then Does he not understand the situation at all He obviously doesn’t realize where he went wrong. If I forgive him now, won’t I just get yelled at again next time And why does he always use such harsh words”

"Of course you owe him an apology; how much do you think you owe Be a good girl and stop sulking. At least enjoy this meal. You’re really stupid, you know. He’s treating us all to dinner out of the blue. Isn’t that kind of like saying sorry in a roundabout way If your brain worked properly, would you need him to say sorry outright” Cai Xiaojing couldn’t help but point it out. Even she didn’t quite understand Ye Feimo’s behavior.

But this time, he had gone so far as to treat them all to a meal, which undoubtedly showed that he was making amends.

This was the limit of what he could do; it amounted to an apology to Wenrui.

The other day during Wenrui’s film promotion, he had even been seen with Han Bi pretending they’d run into each other. The man clearly wanted to see her but she avoided him, so this was his excuse for meeting up with her.

But Young Master Ye, you just happened to meet her. Why can't you happen to meet with another woman Why do you have to drag Han Bi along Isn’t this counterproductive

I hope that tonight’s dinner won’t involve Han Bi; otherwise, Warmth will retaliate.

"Then why did you include me in the first place He invited all of us staff members for a meal. I’m just one of many."

"I’ve been here in Anning for so long and have never seen Director Ye rewarding his employees with meals like this. This is unheard-of."

Warmth pursed her lips, saying nothing.

Indeed, General Manager Li’s philosophy was to choose the most expensive dishes instead of the best-tasting ones. Ye Feimo invited them all, around fifteen or sixteen people, to eat seafood at Coconut River. Following General Manager Li’s instructions, they selected only the priciest items and filled an entire table with them.

This was a private room in a five-star hotel; a table of seafood could easily cost several ten thousand dollars. Ye Feimo sat expressionless as he watched them order dishes, not even blinking at their extravagant choices. Anyone who hadn’t worked under Ye Feimo would think that he must be furious to sit there like an ice sculpture while they ordered without restraint.

But those familiar with Ye Feimo knew that this was his usual expression. It didn’t matter how much money they spent, so long as it wasn’t too excessive; it wasn’t easy for them to have such a lavish meal.

This was the first time Director Ye had invited us to dinner.

How rare and extraordinary this must be!

If the world really were ending, then perhaps that would explain why Director Ye is treating us to a meal today.

Warmth looked speechlessly at the table of seafood. Ye Feimo was truly a fat sheep; he had been caught and was being ruthlessly plucked clean. Their greed was outrageous, but fortunately, he could afford it.

Ye Feimo sat in the main seat. Cai Xiaojing tried to push Warmth next to him, but she twisted her body around so that the photographer would sit beside Ye Feimo instead, placing herself two seats away from him.

Cai Xiaojing’s eyes twitched, while Ye Feimo stared at her with cold pupils. This made Warmth shiver from head to toe.

Isn’t this just a bit too frightening

The others enjoyed their meal immensely, ordering the most expensive seafood and wines. With more men than women present, they started drinking games while the women gossiped about industry scandals.

Hearing one of the makeup artists chatting away, Warmth responded indifferently. Ye Feimo remained silent throughout, his face darkening, eating very little but drinking copious amounts; he finished an entire bottle of Johnny Walker Blue Label Scotch.

General Manager Li couldn’t help but ask, "Director Ye, are you inviting us to a ghost dinner

The group was used to working together, and the advertising planner burst out laughing, saying, "Since it's a feast for the dead, everyone shouldn't miss this opportunity. Eat as much as you want."

"Alright!" Both men and women started cheering.

Warming's heart was pounding with fear; her face turned pale green. What was Ye Feimo doing Didn’t he know that his health wasn’t good After working all day without eating much, he began drinking alcohol as soon as the meal started. Wasn't he trying to kill himself

Seeing Ye Feimo continuously drinking like this, Warming's appetite vanished even though she was hungry. She didn’t care about eating anymore; her attention was entirely on him. However, Ye Feimo seemed unaffected and continued drinking fiercely.

Warming’s heart ached painfully with each beat. Ye Feimo called over the waiter and opened another bottle of fortified white wine. Warming couldn't take it anymore and stood up to walk over, snatching the bottle away from him. Everyone was either talking or drinking, except for Cai Xiaojing and the photographer next to Ye Feimo, who noticed Warming's actions. Cai Xiaojing nudged the photographer to move aside.

"You are not allowed to drink anymore." Warming grabbed the bottle but found her seat had been taken by someone else; Cai Xiaojing had moved everything from it over to another spot.

She felt awkward!

Sis Xiaojing, why so quick

Warming could only sit down next to Ye Feimo.

"Give me the wine!" Ye Feimo’s voice was as cold as ice with no expression. Warming wouldn’t give in; she firmly held onto it. He frowned and sneered coldly, "Is it any of your business if I use my own money to buy drinks"

"You've already drunk enough. A whole bottle is almost gone; how much more do you want to drink" Warming was slightly angry. She hated people who didn’t cherish their bodies the most; everything could be joked about, but not one's health.

Didn't he know how dangerous his own body was Yet still drank so recklessly.

Ye Feimo frowned, "You’re neither my wife nor my mother. You have no right to manage me; give it back!"

"Forget it!" Warming glared at him and handed the wine bottle to Cai Xiaojing for those men to drink. She took Ye Feimo’s bowl and served a bowl of seafood, "You’re not allowed to drink anything else; eat this."

Warming roughly pushed the bowl in front of him and glared at him fiercely.

Ye Feimo looked at her deeply for a moment. Warming turned away with a cold face. Oh no, what was she thinking What kind of relationship did they have that made her care so much about his wellbeing

Warming was extremely frustrated.slightly surprised—be her bridesmaid Rong Yan explained, "Originally, Chu Chu and Ke Lan were supposed to be the bridesmaids, but Ke Lan ran into trouble in the Middle East and can't come temporarily....
