My Superstar Wife Is So Popular-Chapter 940 - 938: Playing by the Rules
This year’s New Year comes earlier than usual. Shortly after New Year’s Day, it’s already the new year. As it gets closer to the end of the year, there are more things to deal with at the company, with annual parties and banquets happening one after another. However, Jinghen isn’t new to this; he knows how to handle these events naturally. It’s just that every time he sees the line ’you may bring a partner’ on the invitation, he can’t help feeling a bit wistful.
Finally, he made his relationship public and got a name for it, yet his wife has gone off to film, and he can’t bring her along to show off. Everyone else attends these banquets in pairs, but he has to bring Feng Li to help block the drinks.
Jinghen wouldn’t openly express this small grievance to Wen Qiao, but Feng Li, who has been working with Jinghen for years, can certainly sense his boss’s disdain. After getting Wen Qiao’s WeChat from Jiang Yao, he complains to her every day on WeChat about how awkward it is for the two of them to attend parties together, urging her to come home quickly to be Jinghen’s date.
Wen Qiao’s filming schedule is getting busier, sometimes working several night shifts in a row. Even so, she always makes time to video call Jinghen for a few minutes, to reassure him.
Fang Qinghe also agreed to send Jinghen some videos of Wen Qiao filming on location every day. However, Huo Mutian firmly disagreed with Fang Qinghe and Jinghen adding each other as friends, so each time Fang Qinghe would send the videos to Huo Mutian, who would then forward them to Jinghen.
Wen Qiao’s heart and eyes are full of Jinghen, so naturally, she won’t provoke others. During filming, she behaves as she should. Once off set, she doesn’t interact much with other male actors unless there is a third person present.
Her being well-behaved doesn’t mean everyone else is the same.
Since her debut, topics about Wen Qiao have never ceased. Public figures need buzz the most, whether good or bad; being talked about is always better than being unnoticed.
Moreover, over the past half year, Wen Qiao’s reputation has undergone a complete 180-degree turn. First, it was a major drama, then high-end endorsements, and now she has secured a lead role in a mainstream film—saying she’s on a rocket wouldn’t be an exaggeration.
She’s appeared in trending topics more times in the past six months than most artists do in a year. As long as there’s any connection to her, exposure and buzz are guaranteed.
Here’s what happened: except for the Weibo post publicly announcing her relationship not long ago, the last time Wen Qiao was active was several months ago.
Due to fans’ strong demands, Jiang Yao pressed Wen Qiao to take a few pictures and had her post them on Weibo.
The photos were playful and cute, with Wen Qiao holding an orange in each hand and making funny faces at the camera.
They took many pictures, but only two were eventually posted.
Since publicly announcing her relationship, Wen Qiao’s followers have successfully surpassed the thirty million mark.
As soon as the Weibo post went live, the number of comments soared with each refresh.
These days, her phone for Wen Qiao is mainly for setting alarms and video calling Jinghen; the rest of the time, she’s immersed in her script.
After posting on Weibo, she tossed her phone aside and went over her lines for the scenes to be shot that afternoon.
Because Xiao Chu had menstrual cramps and was napping at the hotel in the afternoon, Jiang Yao accompanied Wen Qiao to the set. She was watching Wen Qiao film the whole time, not really checking her phone. By the time Xiao Chu woke up, Wen Qiao’s name was already trending on Weibo.
