Chapter 28: Weibo
Translated & Edited by KChandra

After Gongxi Qiao’s contract with Director Wang was signed, Chen Ke asked him about the reason for investing and acting in the film because he was curious, since it was too risky.

“Don’t you think it’s very pleasant to do something that others can’t do when everyone else looks down on you and you think you’re out of your depth?” Gongxi Qiao replied with a fox-like smile on his face, making him inexplicably convinced by the words.

When he thought back, he felt that it was clearly a strong statement.

However, Director Wang’s status in the circle was high, and this film was Director Wang’s finale. Regardless of the film’s final reputation and box office, at least the fact that Gongxi Qiao was the leading actor in Director Wang’s finale would be helpful to him.

So Gongxi Qiao invested 50 million into it. From the immediate point of view, it may be an impulsive choice, but in the long run, the benefits would outweigh the disadvantages. Others who wanted this opportunity may not be able to have it, so finally he didn’t open his mouth to dissuade Gongxi Qiao about it.

And Gongxi Xiong was in a good mood the last two days, because his son who had not asked him for money for years finally asked him for money, and it was a big amount, which gave him a great sense of accomplishment.

So with a big wave of his hand, a huge sum of money was soon transferred to Gongxi Qiao’s account. He even deliberately transferred an extra 10 million because he was worried that Gongxi Qiao didn’t have enough money to spend.

“Son, if you don’t have enough money to spend, you must talk to dad, our family isn’t poor.” Gongxi Xiong patted Gongxi Qiao’s shoulder with his fan-sized palm. “By the way, a new car came out a few days ago. I saw many young people complimenting its beauty online, so I ordered one for you. Wait a few days for the car to be delivered. Unfortunately, when it arrives, it will already be after the Chinese New Year, otherwise it could still be a Chinese New Year gift.”

Gongxi Qiao twitched the corner of his mouth, “Dad, why are you buying me a car again?”

“What, you don’t like it?” Gongxi Xiong’s expression froze.

“No……” Gongxi Qiao wiped his face, “I’m just so surprised.” Under this kind of spoiling attack, he wasn’t corrupted by their bad example. His outlook was very upstanding ah.

Gongxi Xiong was instantly happy. Then he went out with a satisfied face and by the way, he showed off the haute couture diamond watch on his wrist to his friends in the business circle, while not forgetting to take a photo to post to Weibo.

Xiao Qiao’s Parents V: The brat is spending money on things again. [With photo: Bronze stout wrist wearing the watch]

Netizens who were boasted to by Gongxi Xiong came out to troll, saying that Daddy Gongxi was a maniac about showing off his son and saying that the watch bought by the male god was really good-looking and left Daddy Gongxi’s aesthetics a hundred blocks behind.

Little Green Buns: Hahaha, I can feel Daddy Gongxi’s smug joy through the screen.

Tease: Yes, Daddy Gongxi loves to show off, but this men’s watch is really great. Unfortunately, I’ve prepared everything but lack the money.

Mystery Visitor: I read about this watch in a magazine, I heard it was handmade and there were only two hundred of them in the world.

In view of the fact that Daddy Gongxi loved to show off the gifts sent by Gongxi Qiao whenever he had nothing to do — there were luxury watches like this one as well as cheap local souvenirs that cost ten-or-so yuan a box or even two yuan a bag — netizens who came to visit his Weibo didn’t think that this was showing off his wealth.

Stop and Go: Daddy Gongxi, this is the right style of picture for a tycoon ah. Don’t post a 5 yuan bag of dried sweet potatoes when you have nothing to do. People who don’t know will get the impression that our male god is stingy.

Under this comment, there were numerous likes, and many netizens even forwarded it, writing a ha-ha.

Many netizens said that the style of Gongxi Qiao’s family was unique. It was tycoon-like, yet elegant and grounded, which simply refreshed their perception of tycoons.

But after laughing, everyone also saw the importance of family to Gongxi Qiao. Even they themselves didn’t always remember to bring gifts to their families every time they went out, but Gongxi Qiao remembered. Even if some of the things were of little value, the kind sentiments made them very rare.

Previously in their imagination, a rich second generation would do nothing but pick up girls and play with sports cars and hold all kinds of parties. But when you thought about it, no matter the class, there were good people and bad people. It was unfair to generalize a certain group.

There were rich second generation people like Qiao Shao who had the right outlook and were enterprising, and there were poor people who shouted and killed because someone else’s words didn’t sit well with them. It was wrong to look at people with prejudice.

On the 30th day of the lunar month, it was snowing in the Imperial Capital, and the Gongxi family was watching the Spring Festival Gala while eating a reunion dinner. Because Aunt Luo went home for New Year’s Eve, this sumptuous New Year’s Eve dinner was made by the three of them. Although Gongxi Qiao’s role was only to hand out things and wash dishes, it was a contribution.

From the beginning to the end of the New Year’s Eve dinner, the three people’s cell phone text message alerts were ringing non-stop, all New Year’s messages.

After eating, Gongxi Xiong worried that it would be inauspicious if Mama Qiao and Gongxi Qiao broke their bowls, so he was determined not to let them help in the kitchen. He puffed and panted to wash the dishes and dried the water on his hands before taking his phone and holding it to sit next to Mama Qiao to return the text messages.

Gongxi Qiao’s personal cell phone didn’t have many text messages, because after he became an artist, this number was only told to a few non-insiders, so not many people could send New Year’s messages to this phone.

In addition to the New Year’s Eve messages from a few close friends, the closer colleagues in the agency and a few trusted partners in the circle, he returned the blessing messages one by one.

As for the other less familiar friends, there were assistants who had sent messages for him, so he didn’t need to bother with that.

While eating melons and fruits and gossiping with Mama Qiao, the time soon reached midnight, and at this moment, the fireworks outside the window lit up almost the entire night sky.

Gongxi Qiao looked out the window at the fireworks and looked back at his parents, who were also smiling, with a satisfied smile on their faces.

Then he looked down and pressed his phone, ready to send New Year wishes on Weibo, and found an unopened text message.

The text message was simple, just three words plus a period.

Happy New Year.

Sender: Xi Qing

Gongxi Qiao looked at the time displayed on the text message and hooked the corners of his mouth.

“Dingdong!”

Xi Qing looked at the phone in his palm and a smile appeared on his face.

Happy New Year, great luck in the coming year（*^_^*）

Sender: Xiao Qiao

Xi Qing looked down at the smiling expression that followed for a long time before he slowly gripped the phone in his palm and drew the curtains of his room.

The snow fell the whole night. On the first day of the New Year there was no sign of stopping. Gongxi Qiao struggled for half a day before getting up from bed, pulling open the curtains and looking out at the white world. In a good mood, he brushed his teeth and washed his face, then wore slippers and went down to eat breakfast.

For the sake of good luck, the breakfast on the first day of the Lunar New Year was round dumplings and a hard-boiled egg. He, who didn’t like to eat dumplings much, had to eat eight dumplings before Mama Qiao let him go.

After changing into his thick winter clothes, Gongxi Qiao went to the yard and made a big snowman. However, because he was very satisfied with his handiwork, he also took a photo and sent it to Weibo.

Yard Cabbage: Who can tell me, what is the pile of snow in the male god’s photo?

Green Family Ten Birds: probably …… Is it a snowman?

Green Family Ten Birds’ guess got a cadre of fans’ silent acquiescence, but …… Male god you really didn’t consider making a better-looking snowman?

Don’t Wanna Eat Meat: I don’t mean anything by this, just posting a snowman made by my five year old niece in response to this.

Little Panda: Above, please stop your act of using your five year old niece’s work to attack the male god, although …… This work is indeed more like a snowman than the male god’s snowman, but as an old fan of the male god, I can only disavow this fact with a clear conscience.

The bodyguards on duty at the Xi family on the first day of the New Year felt that they had been a bit stimulated today. Their entire outlook was shattered because they found the unsmiling boss squatting in the courtyard piling up snowmen. What was even more frightening was that the snowmen that the boss had piled up were too cute to be true.

Xi Qing finished building the snowman and took off his scarf and wrapped it around the snowman’s neck. He took two steps back and chose a perfect angle to take a picture.

The post immediately drew countless netizens, who said under the post, “Master Xi, is it really good for you to hit Qiao Shao so hard?

Netizen 1: The serious Master Xi can pile up such a cute snowman, why is the snowman made by my male god so ugly, this is not scientific.

Netizen 2: Master Xi, are you really a fan of Qiao Shao, hahaha, you are an anti fan, right?

Xi Qing’s identity was too high, so on the entire Weibo, no one dared to really say bad things about him. Everyone didn’t dare to go too far, except for hahaha friendly teasing, and all of them wisely respected Master Xi.

Netizen n + 1: Am I the only one who thinks there’s something abnormal?

Unfortunately, this netizen’s remarks were too insignificant and were quickly brushed off by everyone’s ha-ha. It wasn’t that they were too pure not to think more about it, but they didn’t dare to think more. Moreover, the attitude of the Xi family head was too natural. It only looked like he was teasing a friend. Everyone who had any notions also suppressed them.

However, some people in the circle were more respectful of Gongxi Qiao after seeing Xi Qing and Gongxi Qiao’s good relationship. The Gongxi family was rich, but not powerful. They were envious of them but not too afraid. However, it was different in nature if the Gongxi family was friendly with the head of the Xi family. Who would dare to offend President Xi?

Gongxi Qiao saw Xi Qing’s Weibo post and gave a light hum and replied with a Weibo post.

Gongxi Qiao V: President Xi is truly quick-witted and nimble-fingered. @XiQing

A bodyguard of the Xi family saw his boss flashing a smile at his phone with his head covered in snow, and his eyebrows jumped in shock.

He gave a look to his partner, but he only received a blank stare.

The Chinese New Year passed in such a relaxed atmosphere, and the eighth day of the first month was soon ushered in. ‘Immortal Mountain Courtyard’ was about to be aired in a prime golden time slot on Imperial Capital Satellite TV. Because a lot of effort was put into pre-promotion, many netizens were looking forward to this drama.

Two minutes before the upcoming TV Broadcast, the commercial ratings of Imperial Capital Satellite TV started to rise significantly, making the creators of ‘Immortal Mountain Courtyard’ sweat as they waited for news.

It would be fine if ‘Immortal Mountain Courtyard’ satisfied the audience after it aired. But if, after such a strong promotion, the work wasn’t liked by the audience, then it would be a big loss.

They spent a lot of money on post-production for the sake of the drama’s exquisiteness. If they were scolded after the broadcast, not only would the TV station that bought the copyright lose money, their entire crew would also be out of luck afterwards.
