After Transmigrating into the Main Shou, I Topped the Paranoid Big Shot 47

Chapter 47

After dinner, Zong Mo washed himself clean early and knocked on the door of the room next door.
But Ruan Chi refused, “I still have work to finish. Not tonight.”
Not only was he scolded, but he was also rejected when he offered himself up!
Although they usually slept in their own rooms when there were no special activities, Zong Mo remembered that Ruan Chi didn’t mind him sleeping here. So he said, “I can sleep even with the lights on.”
Ruan Chi agreed with a blank expression, “Mm, you can also sleep on the side of the main road.”
Zong Mo: ?
Anyway, at least he didn’t have to stay alone tonight.
Without exercise, he had nothing to do and lay on the bed playing with his phone.
Ruan Chi sat at his desk, took a sip of water to rest for a moment, and glanced at the bed, suggesting, “If you’re really that bored, you can read a book.”
Zong Mo: …
Right. CEO Ruan had such a glorious resume, after all. He probably also wanted a more presentable golden canary with some ink in his belly, not just a vase with a pretty face.
Zong Mo wanted to shift his attention away from the bloody internet and asked, “Then what books should I read?”
Ruan Chi: “You can start with junior high textbooks.”
Then he ignored him again and diligently buried his head in his work.
Zong Mo: …

He felt terrible scrolling through Weibo, so he lay down for a while, then couldn’t help but pick up his phone again, an endless vicious cycle.
Late at night, although he had confidently said he could sleep with the lights on, he couldn’t fall asleep even after closing his eyes for a long time.
It wasn’t until he felt the lights go out and a dip on the side of the bed that he immediately moved closer, sending some of his warmth over, and finally fell asleep peacefully.
Ruan Chi lay for a while, then suddenly sat up and looked at the person beside him.
…The guy who had been tossing and turning and whimpering a few minutes ago was now sound asleep, his sleeping posture very well-behaved and quiet.
Ruan Chi silently pinched his face, not doubting that even if he moved the person and the bed out now, he wouldn’t wake up.
Ruan Chi took out his phone and sent a message to his 24-hour on-call secretary in the quiet night. After confirming that everything was handled, he finally went back to sleep.

And the result of sleeping too late was that the alarm, which had little effect on Zong Mo to begin with, didn’t wake him up at all. But Ruan Chi usually woke up earlier than him and would forcibly pat him awake to cook, while he himself leisurely washed up and changed clothes.
When Zong Mo opened his eyes this day, there was no one beside him. He picked up his phone and saw it was half past eight.
He scrambled up in a panic and ran downstairs with messy hair, just in time to see Ruan Chi preparing to go out.
“No need to make breakfast today,” Ruan Chi said.
He didn’t seem angry about the golden canary’s lazing in bed.
Even though he noticed he was wearing formal attire, Zong Mo still asked superfluously, “CEO Ruan… are you going to the company today too? Will you be back at night?”
“Mm.”
Zong Mo saw him out of the house. He had no interest in making breakfast anymore and directly ordered takeout for brunch.

Besides cooking for Ruan Chi at home, it was filming and working. After half a year of this life, Zong Mo had already broken the habit of playing with his phone first thing in the morning. At this moment, when he was alone at home, he boredly started scrolling through Weibo again.
Yesterday’s scolding match had intensified at night. The trending topic #ChasingtheLightBoy had successfully reached the number one spot. At first glance, it seemed like the movie was a hit before it was even released, but when you clicked in, you would find that it was full of unbearable insults. Half were scolding Yin Qiao, and half were scolding him.
At this moment, the trending topic #ChasingtheLightBoy had disappeared out of thin air, while the hashtag #YinQiaoCheating was still at the top.
Zong Mo first checked Yin Qiao’s Weibo and confirmed that she had not yet clarified. And in the trending topic square of #YinQiaoCheating, the scolding had also lessened a lot. More people were wondering why the main battlefield had suddenly disappeared.

【…Did they withdraw the trending topic because of a guilty conscience?】
【But this trending topic is still here? Only the Chasing the Light Boy one is gone?】
【The male lead’s studio is very powerful [Smile]】
【emmm Zong Mo seems to have said he’s an orphan, right? Where did he get such an awesome team?】
【His acting is terrible and his resources are so good… speechless.】
【Zong Mo definitely has someone behind him. You guys are still too young~】
【He has someone behind him and he still has to go into the sea and sell his body?? Impossible…】
【Mo Mo didn’t go into the sea, he just shot for a magazine!! Many male celebrities have shot for DAVID, qwq】
Zong Mo was stunned.
Even if the trending topic was withdrawn, it couldn’t shut all the netizens’ mouths. He even saw some words that were nastier than what he had seen last night, but his feelings were complicated and indescribable. It didn’t seem like he was upset.

On the other side of City A, Director Yang Lexing, who had been overjoyed all day because of the movie’s popularity, had just woken up. The first thing he did was open Weibo to check today’s battle results.
Director Yang: …
Where’s his movie’s trending topic?
He first sent a question mark to Zong Mo on WeChat.
He didn’t know if Zong Mo was deliberately trying to anger him, but he quickly replied with a question mark.
Director Yang helplessly sent another message to Ruan Chi:
[?]
[What are you doing?]
It was impossible for CEO Ruan not to understand. Whether he replied was another matter.

It must have been CEO Ruan who paid to withdraw the trending topic. Zong Mo was not a real idiot. He thought that maybe it was because Yin Qiao couldn’t produce evidence to clear her name, and Ruan Chi had done it to protect his own employee and golden canary, to avoid the movie being withdrawn.
Zong Mo called Yin Qiao again. This time, it connected quickly.
“Sister Qiao, are you okay?”
Yin Qiao first laughed a couple of times and said in a gentle voice, “Thank you for your concern, Little Mo. I’m fine. I just turned off this phone because too many people were asking. This circle, it’s just like this. You get used to it.”
“…That’s good then.”
Since she had said it was fine, Zong Mo couldn’t continue to comfort her, but he politely didn’t hang up first.
After a long while of silence, Yin Qiao spoke leisurely, “You’re very lucky.”
Zong Mo didn’t understand and let out a confused “ah?” before continuing, “CEO Ruan… mm, Ruan-ge told me it was a hype stunt, but I didn’t see it… is it true?”
Yin Qiao didn’t answer the question directly, just laughed for a while and said sincerely, “I hope you can continue to be like this.”
Zong Mo was puzzled, “Continue to be like a silly… idiot?”
“Uh, not entirely,” Yin Qiao didn’t expect someone to admit to being an idiot. She laughed helplessly, corrected her words, and said again,
“I hope you can continue to be as carefree as you are now.”
Carefree?
Zong Mo didn’t think he was that carefree, but compared to Yin Qiao, it seemed to be the case.
He hadn’t succeeded in comforting her but had received a blessing instead. Zong Mo felt warm inside and even more sorry. He said in a gentle voice, “Thank you, Sister Qiao. Can I treat you to a meal next time?”
“That won’t be necessary. It would be troublesome if we were photographed. I appreciate your kindness,” Yin Qiao’s voice was always tinged with a smile, much gentler than when she was cursing her ex-husband. “Thank you too.”
“You’re welcome. I didn’t do much,” Zong Mo said.
The conversation had ended, but the phone was still quiet for dozens of seconds. Yin Qiao guessed it was a matter of politeness, helplessly hung up first, looked at her manager, and then let out a long sigh:
“Do you think… if I start to build a persona of a pure, kind, gentle, and considerate little angel from now on, will a handsome and rich tycoon take a liking to me?”
Manager: ?
As Yin Qiao’s considerate manager and good sister, she silently took out her phone and sent a message, determined to be a wingman this time.
[Director Yang, Sister Qiao said she wants to be a sugar baby.]

Three days after Yin Qiao was exposed for cheating, Bai Yueqi’s number of fans had multiplied several times, and his popularity was like a newly promoted top star, enjoying a moment of glory.
Yin Qiao, who had been missing for several days, silently published a Weibo post, accompanied by a few carefully selected pictures.
The first one was from when she had just gotten divorced. To prevent her scumbag ex-husband from going back on his word and fighting for the property that should have been given to their child, Yin Qiao had taken his hair to the hospital for a paternity test, confirming that the child was his.
The second one was a chat record between Yin Qiao and her ex-husband in December while she was filming Chasing the Light Boy. Although the tone of the chat was not warm, it could be seen that the two were not in a state of a broken relationship. Yin Qiao even stated that she had a phone recording and could release it as evidence at any time.
The next few pictures were clarifications about the cheating incident. The man who had entered and exited the hotel with her that night was actually her university classmate. The two had just happened to run into each other after getting out of the car and had gone in together. There were photos that the paparazzi hadn’t sold to Bai Yueqi as proof.
And the two had entered the hotel together for a class reunion.
There was a famous seafood restaurant in the hotel. Yin Qiao was considered successful and would naturally not be stingy when inviting her university friends for a meal. She also posted a group photo of three women and two men, including herself, and the receipt from the bill as proof.
One of the girls at the reunion also came out and said that the mysterious male companion was her boyfriend, that the two were preparing to get married, and that Yin Qiao would be her bridesmaid.
A certain scumbag ex-husband was hammered to death.
Zong Mo: ? Although he didn’t understand, he was greatly shocked.
His Sister Qiao had really cleared her name with a cool, ruthless, and concise manner, and at the same time, hammered the scumbag into a state from which he could never recover.
…Then wasn’t the money spent on withdrawing the trending topic yesterday wasted?
The trending topic #ChasingtheLightBoy appeared again, but this time it had a new look. The comments were all positive.

【The goddess is a beautiful, strong, and tragic person. That person surnamed Bai is really not a human…】
【Hug sister, wuwuwu. Sister is so cool! Don’t be sentimental when dealing with such a scumbag!】
【And the scumbag deliberately threw dirty water on her before the movie’s release. Not only does he not feel guilty, he also wants to ruin her career [Vomit]】
【The people who were scolding Yin Qiao before and the people who are supporting her now are probably the same group. Everyone is really good at seeing which way the wind blows (smile)】
【Many people in the circle must know about this, right? Why did no one speak up for Yin Qiao…】
【emmm you guys were scolding her like that, would anyone dare to speak up?】
【Ah, this, only Zong Mo spoke up to support her】
【So, can the people who have scolded our Mo Mo apologize to him?】
【Baby, don’t be sad. Mama knows you’re the best QAQ】
【Wuwuwu, our Mo Mo is a little angel. Mama loves you!!】
Zong Mo: ? He actually had mother fans now. He was greatly shocked again.
【Ahhh I knew Yin Qiao wouldn’t be that kind of person! Zong Mo is also so good!】
【Because Zong Mo supported my goddess, I can not mind his bad acting this time.】
【I went to watch a couple of episodes of Field Diary out of curiosity before. It was really funny but I didn’t dare to say it, haha. Now I finally can. Highly recommend!】
【I’m going to buy a ticket for Chasing the Light Boy right now and take my whole family to see it. sry (kneels)】
【Holy shit, weren’t you guys still scolding a few hours ago? Why are the premiere tickets near my house all gone??】
【I didn’t get one either. Who is secretly buying the tickets, ahhh!】
Zong Mo: ?
He quickly opened a ticketing app. It was just as the netizens said. Even though it was premiering at midnight, and it was the kind of movie that would make people feel bad just by watching the trailer, the tickets for the cinemas in the nearby districts were all sold out.
He finally found a small cinema in the eastern suburbs of City A. The location was remote, and the good seats were already gone. But this was exactly what he wanted. He decisively bought a double seat in the corner of the last row.
