Rebirth: I became rich by farming

Chapter 692: Chapter 692 Film Official Announcement (2/2)

Just another week passed, and Qi Hua, who was still at his unit, directly received a transfer from his superiors to a position even better than his original one. Not only was he being transferred but he was also being promoted. Qi Hua knew that this must have been engineered by Fan Tianyu, but he never imagined that Tianyu had such influence outside. Even his current leader said, "Little Qi, work hard in Jiangcheng. Not everyone gets this kind of opportunity."

"Thank you for looking after me these past days, Leader. I will definitely work hard once I’m there," Qi Hua replied.

The transfer was settled to take effect this month, but the actual date to start the new job was after the National Day holiday, because there was a seven-day holiday in between, and the leader didn’t grant separate leave, telling him to just finish the month’s work.

Qi Hua was handing over his duties every day, but as he was nearing retirement age, there wasn’t much to be done, and his work in the coming days was almost just hanging around in the unit and chatting. Of course, that’s all in the future, and right now, the couple Mei Yifang was incredibly busy in Xincheng.

The house in Jiangcheng was chosen, and the current price was slightly higher than when Mei Yongfu first bought his. So there was no way they could consider a three-bedroom like the one Fan Tianyu and Mei Mengzhen had. But Mei Yongfu’s two-bedroom was a good choice, even if there was one less room; after all, it was a school district house, and two bedrooms, though tight, were still livable. They also had a two-bedroom in Xincheng, so in the end, Mei Yifang opted for a two-bedroom.

Mei Yifang’s new house was in the same community as Mei Yongfu’s, and they were only two buildings apart, which really brought the families closer together.

Once the Jiangcheng house was selected, it was time to sell the Xincheng house. But since the furniture was all new, they had to move it, thus saving on the cost of furnishing. As for the renovation, Mei Yifang felt, "The place over there has quite new decorations; no need for a rehaul. We’ll see what the situation is before Yongwang’s wedding, and decide then."

It made perfect sense, so basically they only needed to make a down payment and a bit of tidying up before moving in, which made the family’s move seem quite simple.

By the time Mei Yifang had just about sorted everything out, it was time for Mei Mengzhen to start school, and since Mei Yinan had not yet arrived, the duty of taking and picking up the child from school fell upon the Fan siblings.

It wasn’t that Mei Mengzhen didn’t want to do it herself; it was just that her school started too early. The first class was at 8 am, and she had to leave home by 7:30 am, while Mei Mengchen didn’t leave until after 8 am; there was no way he could make it, so Fan Tianyu, who was staying at her place, was put to use again.

Mei Mengzhen wasn’t alone on her way to school either. He Yiran and Yan Keke lived in the same community, so naturally, they agreed to go to school together. The three of them had different means of transportation, with Mei Mengzhen’s skateboard attracting particular attention on the campus road.

Along the way, there were continuous greetings to the three of them. Mei Mengzhen reflected, "Ah, I didn’t expect that after a summer break, everyone still has the same habits as before vacation."

Even more so, she felt like more people were greeting her this year, but school had just started; she couldn’t possibly have done anything earth-shattering in such a short time, right?

Mei Mengzhen quickly asked, "Our business hasn’t been leaked, has it?"

"What business?" Yan Keke asked with a puzzled face.

"I don’t know, I just feel like everyone is looking at me strangely."

Yan Keke unlocked her phone and said, "Zhenzhen, haven’t you been online these past few days? The production crew released promotional photos, and since you’re the second female lead, you’re included. The official account of the production even tagged you, and I replied for you, just some official stuff. Did you really not check your phone? This happened days ago. Also, your fans have increased a lot, and there’s been many more messages and reposts than before."

She really hadn’t checked; as a member of the 5G generation, she had somehow fallen behind the times. If she truly had to blame something, it was her outdated phone that prevented her from even being part of the "heads-down" crowd anymore.

She no longer constantly held her phone like she did in her past life, and naturally didn’t check Weibo often, "No, I really didn’t know about it. When did this happen?"

Receiving the phone passed by Yan Keke, the official photo of her was so beautifully edited it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to describe it as stunning. From the photo, you could tell the photo editor had skills like a demon chiseling stone, "Is this me? Are you sure? This edit is overdone; I’m not that good looking."

Mei Mengzhen thought the photo was beautifully edited, but Yan Keke disagreed, "How is that good looking? I think it even makes you look worse. When it comes to photo editing skills, Comrade Shasha is the one to rely on."

But speaking of this photo, it was indeed a bit overdone, yet it was still vaguely recognizable as Mei Mengzhen. He Yiran commented, "It’s a bit too much, indeed. It’s a ’real person looks better than the photo’ situation, but it’s not that bad. Also, the male and female leads were also heavily edited. Have we not seen them in real life? They’ve been made to look so different. Zhenzhen’s is still okay."

Indeed, so that stoked the reactions. Mei Mengzhen thought, "This is all because you took over my Weibo account. I have no access; where am I supposed to see it?"

"Didn’t I create a burner account for you? Plus, it’s not like you can’t see it if you want to. You just haven’t wanted to," Yan Keke retorted.

While bantering, the trio arrived at their classroom for this term, and by then, many of their classmates were already there. Being in the same space, the attention they drew was even stronger.

Such attention was nothing new for not only Mei Mengzhen but also Yan Keke and He Yiran, who were already accustomed to it. They sat down calmly and confidently. Once seated, Liu Pei quickly made her way to their side. Although Liu Pei hadn’t spent the two months with them, they still chatted frequently, so there wasn’t the slightest sense of estrangement among them even after not seeing each other for over two months.

Liu Pei said enviously, "Zhenzhen, you look so beautiful in ancient costume."

Mei Mengzhen raised a finger to her lips, signaling Liu Pei to keep her voice down. She was already receiving enough attention and really didn’t want to stir up any trouble.

However, her desire for calm didn’t mean that the people around her weren’t causing a stir. Mei Mengzhen had just forgotten to mention one thing, and it wasn’t long before Lai Xixi blew the whistle on it.

That’s right, on the first day of school, instead of revealing her activities bit by bit, Lai Xixi posted about Mei Mengzhen donating all of her film salary.
