Addicted to My Contract-Marriage Husband

Chapter 340: Chapter 340: Film Festival Awards Ceremony

Luo Ting grabbed Jiang Mian, sizing her up and down, "You couldn’t already be pregnant, could you?"

Jiang Mian shook off Luo Ting’s hand, wrapping her coat tighter around herself, "Knock on wood quickly, if you keep saying I’m pregnant you’ll be responsible."

???

Luo Ting half-believed and half-doubted as she knocked on the wooden table in front of her three times, "Spit, spit, spit."

She murmured to herself under her breath, "Isn’t it your husband who should be responsible for this kind of thing, how could I plant the seed..."

The more she spoke, the more ridiculous it became.

Jiang Mian felt certain that it was because she had been too idle lately, leaving Sister Ting with nothing to do.

She decisively used her connections to arrange for an agency training course and sent Luo Ting in for an intensive half-month program.

By the time Luo Ting finished the training and came out, the resentful look on her face had vanished. She couldn’t stop praising Jiang Mian.

"You have no idea who the agents there were, the instructor even trained several Movie Emperors and Movie Queens before, the idol of agents."

"Jiang Xiaomian, your eye for talent is truly impeccable!!" noveldrama

...

The day after Luo Ting emerged was the film festival award ceremony.

Yangyang was so nervous that he couldn’t sleep all night, and even in the car, he kept muttering non-stop—

"Dear heavens, I’ve never asked for much, I’d trade five years of being single for Sister Mianmian winning an award."

"If, if it really doesn’t work out, I can give up three years of my life, no more though, I still want to live a few more years to check out handsome guys."

"But if a few months could be sacrificed for Sister Mianmian winning an award, I’d still be happy to do it."

As the film festival neared, everyone in the studio was on edge.

Either they were deathly nervous or excited beyond measure, with the PR team reviewing drafts daily, ready with all sorts of complimentary words for after winning the award.

Even the stylist would fall asleep looking at the day’s gown, wishing they could just sleep embracing it.

The entire Fu Group, with Xu Lai directly rallying the whole company to vote online for Jiang Mian daily, prompting the employees to secretly ask in the big group chat for a reason.

Employee 1: [Secretary Xu, it couldn’t possibly be at your own discretion to use public resources, could it?]

Xu Lai: Wronged!!!

Wen Bin, the only one in the know, very tactfully came out to give an explanation.

Wen Bin: [Secretary Xu’s intentions must certainly be that of President Fu’s, after all, Jiang Mian is a protégé personally trained by President Fu, it’s only right for a teacher to help a student.]

Xu Lai nodded to himself at Director Wen’s words, praising inwardly the art of speaking that befits someone in charge.

Manager 2: [It’s probably President Fu’s intent, considering President Fu previously booked a whole theater for employees to vote for Jiang Mian.]

PR Department Manager 1: [Rumor has it, if Jiang Mian wins an award, our President Fu might be the one presenting it.]

Damn!!!

That is some juicy gossip!!!

Before others could say much else, a large group of female employees was already crazily voting to boost Jiang Mian’s popularity.

Male: ??Crazy??!!

Female: It’s been too long since we’ve seen President Fu at a formal event in a suit, it’ll be like he’s a walking magazine again!!!

Male: Shallow...

When Jiang Mian walked the red carpet, the surrounding noise completely engulfed her.

In her mind, she was still caught up in Sister Ting joining in with Yangyang’s incessant chanting before they got out of the car.

Jiang Mian took a deep breath, forcing herself to calm down.

"Jiang Mian ahhhh!!!"

"Mianmian, you’re too beautiful!!! Goose, you’re going to kill me with your beauty!!"

"Next life, please, let me be born looking like you!! So beautiful it kills me!"

...

The host originally wanted to engage in a bit more small talk with Jiang Mian on the red carpet, but the overwhelming crowd forced them to let her in instead.
