Domination of the Aristocratic Dynasty After a Body Swap with the CEO-Chapter 161: Are you going Broke

Not only did Director Yan take photos, there were so many staff members on site, and it was the first time for many of them to see such a grand and luxurious setting. Although the director's team strictly prohibited taking secret photos of the manor's privacy, there should be nothing wrong with taking some photos of the food and drinks at the buffet, right?

The marketing accounts that had been following the "Love Instinct" program immediately transported these photos as soon as they learned that the crew was trapped by the typhoon, so soon, all netizens knew that the mysterious and wealthy island owner not only took the initiative to send people to pick up the crew at the manor, but also arranged a sumptuous seafood buffet to treat them.

The news that the island owner was Chinese also spread quickly.

Previously, netizens thought it was a foreign tycoon, but now that they knew it was their compatriot, they were even more excited, and many people began to guess which wealthy person in China the island owner was. It's just that the island owner never showed up, and everyone guessed but never guessed who this philanthropist who did good deeds anonymously was.

Only Bai Yinyue and Cheng Yaowen knew clearly. The two were not on good terms, but their attitude towards love rivals was quite consistent, which was that they didn't even want to mention it!

Zhong Ruanxing had not been seen since she entered the manor. One could imagine where she had gone.

Bai Yinyue angrily tore open the legs of the king crab, venting her indignation into her appetite, and took a fierce bite. As she was chewing on the crab legs, she heard Yong Yun next to her ask, "Isn't Ruanxing coming down for dinner? Is she unwell because she got caught in the rain?"

Xia Xi also just remembered and looked around, "That's right, how come I haven't seen her all this time?"

Bai Yinyue was thinking about how to help Zhong Ruanxing smooth things over when Zhuang Xueyu next to her, holding a glass of red wine, said equivocally, "Ruanxing is the island owner's honored guest. She was picked up long ago. How could she possibly eat with us?"

Everyone around revealed surprised expressions.

Although they knew that Zhong Ruanxing had been favored by the island owner before, not only inviting her to dine with him, but also sending her supplies. Compared to Duan Mangyun who was driven off the island, the island owner's attitude towards Zhong Ruanxing was worlds apart.

But now the island owner had invited Zhong Ruanxing alone again with so many people staying at the manor? This seemed to be more than just favoritism. Moreover, with Zhong Ruanxing's charming beauty, she was indeed the type that wealthy people liked.

With Zhuang Xueyu's words, everyone's thoughts drifted in that direction unconsciously.

She had achieved her goal, hooking up the corners of her lips, slowly tasting the red wine, when she suddenly heard Bai Yinyue burst out laughing next to her.

That ridicule was clearly directed at her. Zhuang Xueyu turned her head and saw Bai Yinyue looking at her with disdain, lazily saying, "Miss Zhuang may not know that we rich people like to make friends with people like Ruanxing who are beautiful and forthright. As for those with crooked minds who think others are like them and want to take the evil path, we would never treat them as honored guests."

With Zhuang Xueyu's angry expression, she smiled at Cheng Yaowen and cocked her chin, "Right, senior?"

Cheng Yaowen's eyes flashed with interest, and he nodded, "Right."

Bai Yinyue's smile grew even wider, provocatively arching her brows at Zhuang Xueyu.

Who doesn't know how to make insinuations?

The little conflict between the guests had already caught the attention of the director's team. The translator originally didn't want to tell Director Yan about Zhong Ruanxing's private affairs, but he naturally also heard the implication in Zhuang Xueyu's words.

The little translator was actually a passerby fan of Zhong Ruanxing, and like other stars, he understood what kind of person Zhong Ruanxing was. Hearing Zhuang Xueyu's words, he also snorted contemptuously, and after thinking about it, still called Director Yan aside and told him that Zhong Ruanxing and the island owner had known each other for a long time and were friends.

Connecting this with Zhong Ruanxing’s performance after coming to the island, Director Yan pounded his palm fiercely with his fist and lamented with heartache, "I knew that inflatable boat was not picked up by her!"

The little translator was embarrassed: "Let's put aside the matter of the inflatable boat for now. Director, we can't let Zhuang Xueyu continue to gossip. The island owner treated us so well for Zhong teacher's face. If we anger him again, those who get kicked off the island won't just be our new guest."

Director Yan's body shook, and he immediately realized the gravity of the situation. He stopped eating seafood, walked over to Zhuang Xueyu with a serious expression, and said, "Teacher Zhuang, the customs in mainland China and Hong Kong are different. Please do not maliciously speculate about our guests. Besides, the island owner has shown great kindness to our entire crew. There is a saying, don't bite the hand that feeds you. We have all moved into someone else's manor, so we should at least respect the owner. I hope you can understand."

Zhuang Xueyu was first ridiculed by Bai Yinyue, and now reprimanded face-to-face by the director. Her whole face was embarrassed and awkward, but she clearly underestimated Zhong Ruanxing's popularity here. After the initial surprise, the other guests now looked at her meaningfully.

But after all, she had come up in the Hong Kong entertainment industry, and soon calmed down, revealing an apologetic smile, "Sorry, I spoke without thinking. I'll punish myself with a drink."

After speaking, she drank the red wine in her glass in one gulp.

Someone smoothed things over, and everyone chatted about other topics, no longer tense as before.

In the afternoon, the typhoon officially made landfall. The weather outside could no longer be described as terrible, and everyone hid in their rooms.

The wind and rain raged violently outside, but the room gave a great sense of security.

Zhong Ruanxing lay by the floor-to-ceiling window recording a few typhoon videos, planning to show Zhong Youzhi when she went back. Song Jinxing was speaking softly with the butler about something. She waited for the butler to leave before going over and asking, "What shall we do this afternoon?"

Song Jinxing thought for a moment and asked with a smile, "Want to watch a movie?"

With this weather, lounging in a room watching a movie was simply too comfortable! Zhong Ruanxing immediately nodded, "Okay!"

She had thought it was just a projection room, but when she followed him to the basement, she discovered that the former island owner had gone crazy enough to build a small movie theater in the basement. Except for being smaller in scale with fewer seats, it was no different from a normal cinema.

A beam of light shot out from the window behind the projector, and as Zhong Ruanxing sat on the electric reclining sofa, she saw the screen in front light up.

Song Jinxing picked up a tablet from the side, "What do you want to watch?"

Wow, even on-demand.

Zhong Ruanxing browsed through the library and selected a domestic comedy film from last year that she had been very interested in watching but didn't have time for.

Soon, the Dragon mark appeared on the screen. This felt no different from watching a movie in the theater. Song Jinxing even magically made popcorn and a can of coke appear and handed them to her.

Holding the coke, Zhong Ruanxing's eyes were glued to the screen, her voice a bit floaty, "Song Jinxing, living so extravagantly, we really won't go bankrupt, right?"

His elbow leaned on the armrest, forefinger slightly supporting his forehead. Hearing this, he let out a laugh, leaned in and whispered in her ear, "Don't worry, I will work even harder to make money than before."
