The Martial Artist Turned Movie Mogul-Chapter 799 - 798. Caught off guard

Tang Shu clomped into the living room. After slurping down a bowl of hangover remedy soup, her foggy brain momentarily cleared.

"Wait a minute, did you just say you ’heard about it’? Didn’t you make this soup?"

Since when did her personal chef need to hear from others about making food?

I doubt your professionalism, young lady!

However, Yang Tiantian’s expression was even more baffled than hers; she curiously widened her eyes while sitting beside Tang Shu, "Boss, have you forgotten? Mr. Jing made the hangover remedy soup!"

Mr. Jing...

Tang Shu’s memories gradually began to resurface, recalling her actions from the previous night. Her face, which had maintained a calm expression, began to betray her, slowly heating up more and more.

"Eh? Boss, why is your face turning red?"

"...It’s too hot?"

"But it’s winter now, it’s snowing outside, and it’s even the first snowfall of the year in the Imperial Capital."

"..."

Please don’t expose me~

Covering her face with her hands, Tang Shu suddenly found the hangover remedy soup in front of her less appealing.

So embarrassing, what on earth did she do? Indeed, playing dolls could strip her of all rationale, sob sob sob~~~~no, plus a bottle of red wine!

"Oh, right, Mr. Jing also instructed me to keep an eye on you, mentioning something about how drinking alcohol harms the body. Strange, Dad said that women can benefit in beauty and health from an occasional glass of red wine..."

Yang Tiantian didn’t understand. Her dad was a successor of the Imperial Chef, so his words must carry weight. After all, she had grown up listening to him and firmly believed in them. But Mr. Jing was learned and talented; surely, he wouldn’t deceive people either, right?

"Never mind, I’ll go online later and see what the experts have to say about it."

Yang Tiantian got up and headed toward her room, not forgetting to insist on her task as she walked away.

"Boss, Mr. Jing said the hangover remedy soup helps with headaches. Make sure to finish it——"

Tang Shu cringed yet again and quietly raised the bowl of hangover remedy soup, drinking with a somewhat bitter expression.

It was only today that all the episodes of "Journey Together" had finished airing.

However, its popularity did not wane with the conclusion of the show. Instead, it continued to heat up. On video websites, the show’s view count was skyrocketing geometrically. Almost every time it was refreshed, there were significant changes in the numbers. Moreover, marketing accounts producing soft content about the show were experiencing a spike in traffic, not to mention that opening any short video app would likely show content related to the series.

"’Journey Together’ is really on fire now, even hotter than it ever was before!"

"Yeah, look at the first place on the hot search—leaving all the others in the dust. All other gossip has to step aside!"

"Don’t even mention it, my mind’s full of last night’s episode; I have no enthusiasm for work now!"

"Right? At home, even my parents discuss it during meals, let alone at the company. You can hear people talking about it everywhere."

"Hey! Dude, when I’m on the subway or the bus, all I need to do is glance at the phones of the pretty ladies next to me, and what I see is sure to be about those ten guests, you know!"

"Damn bro, you’re such a creep? Peeking at ladies’ phones in public?!"

"$#@%*&%$##...."

Is this conversation heading in an unusual direction?

In a cafeteria of an office building, a group of people eating together looked at one another in disbelief when suddenly one of them, who had just put a piece of celery into his mouth, screamed upon seeing something on his phone.

"Holy shit, holy shit, holy shit, something huge has happened!"

"What happened, what are you looking at that’s got you so worked up?"

"Old Li, has your idol’s house finally collapsed? Hahahaha!"

"No," Old Li shifted his gaze from his phone screen and looked oddly at the male colleague sitting opposite him, "It’s your idol’s house that has collapsed—"

"???"

The person opposite had a face full of confusion, "Impossible, the Wood Goddess is my only idol, she’s hot right now, how could her house collapse?"

I’ll die of laughter, anybody’s house could collapse but not the Wood Goddess’s—

"It’s her, just look for yourself."

Old Li handed over his phone, and a few other colleagues leaned in to get a closer look, their eyes full of curiosity as they peered at the screen, which was displaying Roger’s Weibo account that had only been active for less than two months.

And just one minute prior, this international celebrity had posted an announcement.

"Holy crap! God Luo and Mu Ziwei have broken up amicably?!"

"For real? No way, ever since they went public with their relationship, Mu Ziwei has been all over Weibo flaunting their love!"

"Right, wasn’t it too fast? Just last week I saw the Wood Goddess post a picture of dining at a fancy restaurant!"

"And the photo caption was something about happiness, could it be God Luo has changed his heart?"

"Impossible, I don’t believe it!"

A bunch of male fans were in a panic!

At this very moment, the internet was ablaze because of Roger’s Weibo post. Whether it was fans of the couple or just onlookers, they all joined in, and the comment sections of the latest posts by both parties were instantly overrun.

Some said it was for the best, that the two were never that compatible anyway, talking about how international relationships never last, and then there were hordes of fans crying over the relationship that ultimately didn’t bear fruit, and all sorts of other comments.

Inside a luxurious villa in the Imperial Capital Suburb, Mu Ziwei, who had just finished a half-day shoot, was pursing her lips tightly, and her eyes glared at the phone screen as if she could devour someone.

On the other side, her newly appointed agent was pacing back and forth in the living room, looking extremely anxious.

"How could this be? This just adds insult to injury! Ziwei, did you guys argue just now, how did the communication go?"

Her artist’s hot search ranking was still at number five, originally they had wanted Roger to step in to lower the heat, but they never expected that before the heat of the previous post could die down, it sparked another hot search!

It was totally unexpected.

Mu Ziwei was still clutching her phone, seemingly trying to glare a hole through the screen statement, with no time to answer such a foolish question from her own agent.

Breakup, wasn’t it obvious? The other party hung up and immediately issued a statement, not leaving any room for her!

The agent was like an ant on a hot pan, "Ziwei, do you know what the hell is going on, did you really break up with him?"

"Broke, up!"

Mu Ziwei spat out the two words through gritted teeth.

Actually, she had been with Roger originally for overseas film resources, and during the first few months of shooting "Hurricane Goddess," they got along very well, even inseparable. But when exactly did things change?

That’s right, it was after Roger finished the adventure variety show "Journey Together." She couldn’t get through to him on the phone nine times out of ten, and the way Roger looked at her got stranger and stranger.
