Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio
When they arrived at the airport, there were indeed many fans holding up plaques such as “Jing Xi” and “I Heart Young Master Jing” as they waited for her.
When the fans saw Jing Xi getting out of the celebrity van, they swarmed over to her.
“Jing Xi! Jing Xi! I like you very much!”
“Jing Xi! Please give me your autograph!”
“Jing Xi, can we have a photo together!”
...
In the face of enthusiastic fans, Xu Xiyan experienced the feeling of being adored for the first time. She did not refuse the fans’ requests and patiently signed, shook hands and took photos with them.
Here, Xu Xiyan was surrounded by fans. Nearby, Xu Xinrou, who was on the same flight, also arrived at the airport.
She also brought a personal assistant, but she did not see her fans at the airport.
Xu Xiyan’s seat was a window seat. Soon after she sat down, Xu Xinrou came over too. She realized that her seat was right next to Xu Xiyan’s, and she suddenly felt disgusted as though a fly had become stuck in her throat.
She didn’t want to sit with Xu Xiyan. She turned and asked Fan Tong, “Why did you make me sit together with her?”
Fan Tong scratched his head. “The tickets were bought by LK. Maybe both seats were bought at the same time.”
“Go help me change my seat. I don’t want to sit with her,” Xu Xinrou requested.
Fan Tong felt that they had already boarded the plane and it was already too late to change seats, but he thought of a good idea. “Sister Xinrou, since you don’t want to sit here, why don’t we exchange seats?”
Xu Xinrou had to scold Fan Tong. “And let me sit in economy class? Do you think I deserve to sit in economy class with the status I have now? Are you a ‘fan tong?’” [1]
Fan Tong nodded, “I am!”
Xu Xinrou: “...”
She was so angry that she was speechless. Why did the company find such a slow-witted assistant for her?
In the end, Xu Xinrou sent Fan Tong away to economy class and stayed in business class herself reluctantly. One must know that she would travel in first-class wherever she went.

[1] In Chinese, the word for “rice bucket” is also pronounced as “fan tong.” Usually, if someone scolds you, saying that you’re a “rice bucket” or “fan tong,” he or she means that you’re a good-for-nothing who only knows how to consume rice.
