Hold On, You’re Something Else

Chapter 20.1

Chapter 20 – Why don’t you continue? (1)


Since Rong Jing was still considered sort of famous in the university, soon the post with the title of ‘RJ pretending to be poor’ was seen by a lot of people.

As soon as the students in the group chat found out about this, someone immediately asked who the snitch was. They were still discussing the truth among themselves, how could someone just bring it outside their group chat? Moreover, the things that they saw in the live broadcast were things that people like them don’t usually see. It was all thanks to Ji Leping, so how would they explain things to Ji Leping when something happens?

In the end, none of the people in the group chat admitted the title of being the snitch.

However, since there were no pictures or videos regarding the post, it was regarded by the people as fake news. Someone even made a very objective analysis. If Rong Jing really was rich, why would Qi Ying be willing to break up with him? It was like thoughtlessly letting go of a gold mountain.

Qi Ying loved money through and through. They all knew that, and so this response was what the vast majority believed in.

The person who said that they would eat their keyboard if Rong Jing continues his acting career seemed to also be paying special attention to him. He was present in every post where Rong Jing was mentioned.

They immediately posted: If Rong Jing really did come from a wealthy family, then I’ll give him a lead role! Take this post as proof!

Because the school forum was full of anonymous people, people only cared about guessing the real identities of a few iconic people in the forum. However, since this person was always active in the school forum, people didn’t think that this person was someone with good credentials and achievements. People like that wouldn’t have this much free time.

#I heard from the audio-visual language teacher, Teacher Zhang, that Director Liu graduated from our university and that his alma mater has a special place in his heart. What’s more, the three teachers from the acting department could all recommend one student to him. Although this recommendation does not represent anything, it could still give the director a great impression. What a rare opportunity! But, guess who in Class B was recommended by Teacher Hu?#

Advertisements

Everyone said all the possible candidates, whetting the appetite of the public. Then finally, Xiao Ba revealed who the person was: Rong Jing.

–Does Teacher Hu want to be ridiculed again? He’s been mocked for so many years because of RJ, he must be nuts

–Teacher Hu is miserable too. He only looked at RJ’s good looks back then

–Teacher Hu has always been a kind teacher. He was always willing to help any student who had any difficulties in Class B. To be honest, RJ’s looks could be considered remarkable, even in the entertainment industry. He has such a small face, three-dimensional facial features, and mixed-race genes that make him particularly photogenic and more exceptional in camera than in real life.

–But that’s all useless when he can’t even seem to face the camera, right?

–Oh sister, you hit the nail on the head.

Some were aggrieved, some felt it was unfair, while some thought that the teachers were free to recommend the student that they wanted.

But without exception, no one thought that Rong Jing, who had worked for four years and remained camera-shy, would be able to face the camera again.

Rong Jing only saw the forum once to understand the original owner’s situation. The original owner was not well-known in the outside world. However, he was popular on campus. It wasn’t hard for the outside world to know him later on.

But Rong Jing, who is, as usual, very lazy and is often on 2G network, obviously didn’t pay attention to the gossip.

Ji Leping shouted hesitantly. Rong Jing was surprised to see him at the party.

The two talked for a while. Ji Leping asked so many questions only to notice Rong Jing still looking bored as usual. He seemed to be still pretending that he was poor even though he was already exposed.

What, is this some kind of hobby?

With the halo of the Xie family now hanging above Rong Jing’s head, Ji Leping was now at a loss how to talk to the man.

Rong Jing believed that this was definitely the butterfly effect brought by Wu Hanqi.

Although he didn’t like socializing much, he encountered a lot of such occasions as the youngest child of an acting family in his last life. When he was a kid, he lived in the limelight. His basic upbringing was still there, and he didn’t ignore anyone who wanted to talk to him.

After a long time, everyone found out that although there were a lot of people, no one had been ignored by Rong Jing.

They originally approached Rong Jing with various reasons, but in the process of their communication, there were people who genuinely felt comfortable talking to Rong Jing. They were those who didn’t have the usual temper of rich second generation heirs.

Not far away is Wu Hanqi talking to Xie Zhanhong. The two families, Wu and Xie, often do business with each other despite also being each other’s competitor.

They all know that on any occasion, maintaining a superficial relationship is a long-term way for a family to rise and fall.

Wu Hanqi smiled as he saw Rong Jing within the crowd.

He just found it funny that the child couldn’t wait to get away from him so he deliberately showed some intimacy and made a harmless little joke to see how he would react. He didn’t expect the seemingly introverted child to get out of it easily.

From a distance, he raised his glass to Rong Jing, as if celebrating the growth of the once crybaby boy.

Rong Jing politely returned the salute. He felt that if Wu Hanqi intended to get acquainted with anyone, it would only take him a few minutes. This person knew too well how others think.

Xie Zhanhong also noticed the interaction between the two. Remembering what happened years ago, he said, “That boy ran after your car that year and said that he wanted to be your bride. When you left, he locked himself in his room, not eating or drinking for three whole days and nights. We told him that you couldn’t marry an Alpha but he wouldn’t listen. But Ling took him out of the room.”

“Something like that happened?” Wu Hanqi’s eyebrows raised, his eyes looking meaningfully at Rong Jing in the distance. Rong Jing inexplicably felt the air turning a bit tight with a touch of danger.

However, this feeling soon disappeared. Wu Hanqi really didn’t know there was such a story after he left. With a casual smile, he said, “It’s just a child’s tantrum. Now that he’s all grown up, I’m sure he regrets it every time he remembers it.”

Wu Hanqi thought of the little kid that had followed him everywhere years ago, and then he looked at the young man with a glint in his eyes, “How is he now? Doing business with Xiao Ling?”

Xie Zhanhong realized that Wu Hanqi was particularly very concerned about Rong Jing, probably because of the time he spent with him many years ago, and said, “That kid’s a stubborn one. He wants to be an actor. He’s worked hard for it but there’s no good results. How long are you going to stay here? If you have the time, would you help control our family’s wild child that’s currently out of control?”

If Rong Jing could make a connection with Wu Hanqi and become a junior valued by the other party, perhaps the Xie family could also have the opportunity to expand.

Wu Hanqi glanced at Rong Jing and shook his head, “Children nowadays do not listen to old people like me.”

The clock showed that it was now 07:30.

The lights dimmed and the music started. The high-spirited Xie Zhanhong and Han Lianmei, who always followed her husband, danced to the music.

Next, Xie Ling invited a sweet-looking female Omega from the Ji family to dance. When the Ji family saw that Xie Ling didn’t ignore the Ji family, they nodded and smiled at each other.

Because of the absence of the second son of the Xie family, there was one less opening dance. Rong Jing was also supposed to dance but the original owner grew up refusing such occasions and drove away the etiquette teacher that Xie Zhanhong had hired for him.

Of course Rong Jing certainly would, and wanted to be proficient.

He suddenly realized a problem. He wanted to make some of his skills have a reasonable learning process.

    This book has a lot of foreshadowing. I keep trying to find reasons to validate my love for this book.😂 Another unique factor of this book is that Jingjing doesn’t go face slapping quickly. He takes a lotta time to just adjust to this world, he still misses his family but knows he has to move on. I would have been so homesick and scared had I been him. A whole world where there wasn’t a person or even a thing I was familiar with. On top of that, books make it seem easy for a person to act like another but let me ask: how can one remain acting? In the end he’d forget himself before going mad because who would you be if you weren’t yourself? This is why I don’t get transmigration novels.
