Jiang Nian had been thinking very seriously after missing her golden thighs. After all, there were two super thick thighs. Simply pulling out a calf hair from each could take her to heaven.

But just because it was a bad start didn’t mean Jiang Nian has given up. The golden thigh would always be the golden thigh. As soon as she thinks clearly and finds a good grabbing posture, she will hold on tight. Plus, she always felt that Bi Zheng’s and Zheng Hao’s gazes at her were weird, although she didn’t quite understand how. It seemed that she would have to use her ultimate weapon when it was necessary—beauty!

The beauty dan that Jiang Nian had redeemed before hadn’t been eaten yet. The system’s products must be a high quality and would definitely make her beautiful.

Jiang Nian saw the anger in the Shen Li Gang chat, all of which was dissatisfaction and indignation towards the gold thighs. Of course, she couldn’t let this continue. Without the correct attitude, the golden thighs would never be held.

Shen Li Big Sis: “Presidents Bi and Zheng came in person today, which shows that they are somewhat interested in our crew. This is an affirmation to us. We must continue to work hard. We must not be defeated by this little setback. Believe in yourselves and there will be countless possibilities! And, compared to others, we have already taken a big advantage. After all, living under the same roof, you must respect the old and love the young, respect and help each other, and show lots of love. We must be able to deceive their money!”

Shen Li Qi Qi Ge: “Yes! Believe in ourselves and we can surely cheat money!”

Shen Li Chief Lei: “Rest assured, Jiang jie, I am the best at cheating money. My brother is just stubborn, but I can coax him!”

Shen Li Little Gold: “……Jiang jie said it isn’t cheating; it’s normal investment.”

Shen Li Big Sis: “Little gold is right; this is investment.”

Shen Li Qi Qi Ge: “Jiang jie is right!”

Shen Li Chief Lei: “Jiang jie is right!”

Shen Li Little Gold: “Mmm!”

Zheng Qi, Bi Lei, and Chen Xin were all smart people. Who couldn’t cheat money? It was just a matter of making themselves look good. They’d been doing it from small to big and were very good at it.

Jiang Nian was a little happy. They were, indeed, her younger brother gold masters. They had high ideological consciousness and strong abilities. There was no need to worry about not holding her golden thigh.

And she was just beginning to realize that she couldn’t hold her golden thighs alone. After all, her ability was limited. Her younger brothers could also try to grab golden thighs! There were many rich and powerful people in the world. Not to mention that the gold master younger brothers lived with several wealth gods themselves. Show a bit of obedience at home, maybe they could grab the money that sprinkled out? 1

Soon, Bi Zheng felt that the stinky little brother who had previously ignored him suddenly became amiable and would smile whenever they made eye contact and fill his bowl whenever it was empty. He would also add, “Brother, eat slowly. Be careful.”

Although it looked very dog-legged and impure, it was still very useful against Bi Zheng. He took a leisurely drink of soup and said, “Suddenly acting like this, say it, what do you want from me? Of course, except for your “Five Million” crew.”

Bi Lei was particularly obedient and helpless, saying, “Dear brother, you think wrong again. I’m so busy at work right now, what could I possibly want? Don’t even suspect our “Five Million” crew. Jiang jie just said that we should respect the old and love the young. You are my brother- doing this is nothing.”

Bi Zheng choked and coughed twice. He put down the bowl, wiped his lips with a paper towel, and asked softly: ” Your Jiang jie said……respect the old and love the young? ”

Bi Lei said: “Yeah, ah. You see, our Jiang jie is good and kind, you absolutely won’t lose money if you invest!”

Bi Zheng: “You are so obedient, ah. Hehe.”

Bi Lei nodded. He was a younger brother; the least he could do was be obedient.

Bi Zheng ‘hehe’d twice, biting his molars, and throw his chopsticks down indifferently before leaving. Bi Lei, long used to his brother’s cold and ruthless appearance, did not find it strange, and happily poured himself another bowl of rice. In order to commit crimes in the evening, he must have enough to eat.

Zheng Qi was the same there, but, because his family was a bit populous, he obediently sold himself to everyone. Apart from the elder brother who was abroad on a business trip, his grandfather, his father, his mother, his mother, his second brother, were all diligently served tea. His brother’s treatment was particularly good; after all, this was the person he wanted to cheat money from.

Zheng Qi’s rare clever and sensible behavior caused his grandmother to touch his head and say that he is so good! She also handed him two yuan to buy candy.

Zheng Qi put two dollars into his bag very seriously. Mosquito meat was still meat. After experiencing poverty with Jiang jie, he was particularly cautious now: “Grandma is so good, thank you Grandma!”

“Aww, Grandma’s good grandson!”

Another dollar bill came out.

Mother Zheng also said to her husband with euphoria, “Look, our Qi qi has been with Niannian for a long time and he’s become so sensible. Niannian is really a good girl!”

Father Zheng touched his gold Necklace, nodded and said, “It’s really good to let him go out and experience.”

This was true. Zheng Qi said, “Of course, my Jiang jie is the best!”

He leapt to Zheng Hao with a smile and handed him a cup of tea.

“Second brother, really, our ‘Five Million’ crew is definitely a good crew. It’s worth it to invest in such a good crew. You absolutely won’t lose money; I swear it on my honor!”

Zheng brother took the tea and drank a sip: “Oh, do you still have honor?”

Zheng Qi froze: “Second brother, don’t you look down on me too much? Since I’ve changed my mind, have you ever seen me go out and fool around? And you see dad, grandma, and mom have invested. Second brother, you also support our cause!”

Zheng Hao glanced at him, put down the teacup, and went upstairs. Zheng Qi was embarrassed and threw himself into his grandmother’s arms. Grandma Zheng was immediately distressed, calling, “Hao Hao, don’t leave. Hao Hao, you also support your younger brother’s cause.”

Zheng Hao snorted. Younger brother? He’d like to know whose younger brother that was.

Chen Xin’s side was more harmonious. His parents were calm people. Usually it was difficult to spend time with them due to their busy work. His sister married a few years ago, and he ate alone at night. This evening, he postponed his rest and wrote a special investment plan and put a copy on his parents’ desk.

He’d been with Zheng Qi and Bi Lei a long time. He was always used to going along with them and never found himself with any pressing needs. But, after meeting Jiang jie, he finally realized the taste of poverty. Therefore, the plan was naturally written in a passionate manner, far from his cold character, and greatly shocked his parents, who then gave him more pocket money—of course, no investment.

They hugged as hard as possible, sold good deeds and obedience as much as possible, but still no investment.

So, the crew of “Five Million” naturally got poorer and poorer, such that, eventually, they could only blow fans in the villa worth millions.

Jiang Nian was naturally extremely worried in the face of such a severe situation. She didn’t understand what went wrong. The gold thighs were indeed the gold thighs; with deep and elusive thoughts. They weren’t easy to hold. Of course, there was nothing wrong with the gold thighs. The wrong one was her; she didn’t have enough ability.

……Was it already time to use her beauty???

Zhao Heng stayed in the imperial capital for more than ten days. He’d read the script back and forth countless times and made character notes and analyses. Not only did he fully memorize his own lines, he even memorized his opponents’ lines.

During this period, Ji Yaling also made several calls, all of which were rejected by him until, finally, he blacklisted her directly. Ji Yaling’s mind was not clean and she made no effort to conceal her maliciousness to Jiang Nian. If he didn’t have to contact such a person, it was best not to contact again.

Zhao Heng’s heartlessness shook Ji Yaling with anger, and she sent two new text messages to Zhao Heng, asking him if he really didn’t care about their friendship in the past two years. Zhao Heng still moved her to the blacklist after reading them.

Ji Yaling though about how popular Zhao Heng would be in the future. She was so angry at this moment. She was the one who was with him from the beginning. Why was Lao Wei able to take advantage? She also blamed President Wu for being too much and replacing her at such a critical moment. She was afraid Zhao Heng could be so heartless to her only after listening to the provocation by President Wu and Lao Wei.

Just wait! Wait for her to sign an artist who will be popular in the future. Sooner or later, her fortunes would turn around and these people could only regret!

Zhao Heng didn’t take Ji Yaling seriously. As long as she didn’t bother them, the existence of this person was meaningless to him.

By the time “The Spy” finally started, Zhao Heng already had complete confidence. He’d naturally grasp such a good opportunity firmly and refused to disappoint Director Li Tang or let outsiders see the joke.

The story of “The Spy” occurred in the 1930s and 1940s, and the filming location was in the film and television city of City B.

The day before farewell, when Zhao Heng was packing his luggage, Jiang Nian came back. She finished work earlier today, so it was only eleven PM when she returned.

Zhao Heng watched her collapse onto the sofa as soon as she entered the door.

“Why so listless?”

Jiang Nian raised her eyes to him: “Of course, it’s because of poverty!”

Zhao Heng couldn’t help laughing, and said, “Can’t shoot anymore?”

Jiang Nian pouted her lips.

“It’s possible to shoot, but it is better to have money than to have no money. You burn money in the early stage and burn money in the later stage!”

“Then just film, take a bath, and rest. At least you can be more comfortable.”

“Mmm.”

She was still lying there. Zhao Heng couldn’t stand it. He went to the bathroom to fill the tub, and then carried her in. Jiang Nian was lay comfortably in the hot water, watching her Tian Luo girl in his black shirt and shorts, tall and straight, with black broken hair falling softly on his forehead, making his sword eyebrows a little less aggressive and a little gentler.

Jiang Nian felt that she was completely exhausted. Even the gold master younger brothers were sent out for the sake of hugging the golden thighs, but it still didn’t work. Now, only hugging the beauty could give her comfort.

Zhao Heng was hugged by the soaking Jiang Nian and his clothes were wet. He caught her and smiled, “I thought you were tired?”

How can you be tired in front of the beauty? Jiang Nian rubbed his warm chest.

“Aren’t you leaving tomorrow, I want to express my sadness with you.”

Zhao Heng picked her up and placed her on the washstand next to her, thin lips against Jiang Nian’s small earlobe.

“How do you want to express, hm?”

Jiang Nian held Zhao Heng’s neck, pouted and kissed his chin, looking at him like a kitten. Zhao Heng’s eyes darkened, the hand holding her tightened, lowered his face, and captured her lips.

Zhao Heng: “Do you think I won’t kill you?” 1

****

Jiang Nian thought her beauty plan was really powerful- just look at how excitedly Zhao Heng tossed her. She touched the clear muscles on his arm- so powerful. Probably like Mars hitting the Earth.

When the gentle and elegant man was incited, the wildness and strength that broke out was as crazy as a wolf.

Jiang Nian became the meat in his mouth, was slobbered over and swallowed into the abdomen, not even leaving a bit of bone behind.

Maybe because of the imminent separation, every action was particularly lingering.

Endless like a drizzle in spring.

Jiang Nian was soaked in rain, and there was a mist in front of her. 2

It was already three o’clock in the morning when Zhao Heng finally finished. He kissed Jiang Nian, who was already asleep, got up and went to the bathroom to clean up. He threw all the wet clothes on the floor into the washing machine and wiped up the water that splashed all over the floor. He also cleaned the bathroom entrance, and then went to pack his unpacked luggage. This time, the filming was semi-closed. He would stay with the crew the entire time; it was likely he wouldn’t be able to return within four months.

Jiang Nian herself was also busy. After filming “Five Million”, she still needed to edit the soundtrack herself, and then she had to find a way to publicize it. After all, it was difficult for such a poor crew to advertise.

He seen the full extent of her busyness in the past half a month. Filming would start at noon and run to all hours of the night. When she came back at night, she still had to go over the work schedule for the next day, and, sometimes, she had to alter the script. Even though he didn’t want her to be so tired, he couldn’t help but be happy that she was fulfilling her dream. Life must always be hard work.

Early the next morning, Zhao Heng was rushing out to catch the plane, Jiang Nian was rushing out to catch her work, and the two met up at the door.

It was the first time for Jiang Nian to see Zhao Heng’s new agent, Lao Wei. He was indeed someone who had been in the circle for many years. It seemed that he was much smarter and more sophisticated than Ji Yaling. Of course, he would not look down on her like a superior like Ji Yaling, greeting her politely instead.

Lao Wei knew that Zhao Heng had a girlfriend and had also heard a lot of rumors about Jiang Nian. For example, President Bi’s younger brother, Bi Lei, along with the Zheng and Chen families’ two little bullies followed her to make a small web drama. He didn’t know if it would be popular, but she was definitely a personal talent. Otherwise, how could she make the young masters obey?

He’d also heard a lot from Ji Yaling. Of course, the Jiang Nian in Ji Yaling’s mouth was not a good person. He was not a fool and wouldn’t listen to Ji Yaling’s words one-sidedly. After all, he also knew Ji Yaling was not quite at ease recently. She didn’t want to bring the artists assigned to her by the company, despising them for not being famous, but no artist would choose her if they had any fame. It was impossible to keep up in this circle without the ability and resources; doubly impossible for her as it seemed she was stupid.

“Jiang Nian, hello, I’m A Heng’s agent, just call me Lao Wei. I heard A Heng mentioned you before, and today I see you are really beautiful.”

This was really sweet talking. Jiang Nian smiled, saying, “Hello, I also heard A Heng talk about you; Zhao Heng said that you are very good. I will trouble you to take care of him more.”

Lao Wei said: “Of course, A Heng is my artist, I am 100% responsible for him.”

Jiang Nian: “Thank you.”

Zhao Heng deliberately observed Lao Wei’s reaction to Jiang Nian and saw that his attitude was not particularly special. He finally felt reassured. Before leaving, he mentioned a few words to Jiang Nian: let her not to make herself too tired, call him if anything happened, blah blah blah. Jiang Nian made a few perfunctory hums in agreement and urged him to go. Zhao Heng helplessly rubbed her head and was preparing to get in the car when he heard someone shout, “Jiang jie! Jiang jie!”

Zhao Heng eyelid jumped, and he looked back to see Bi Lei trotting over before calling out to him, “Big brother-in-law!” (Lit. ‘Elder sister’s man’)

Zhao Heng: “………”

Lao Wei looked at Jiang Nian, and then looked at Zhao Heng: “………?”

No matter how many times he heard it, Zhao Heng still felt a bit unacceptable, and couldn’t help but twitched at the corner of his mouth.

Jiang Nian was quite normal, just a little confused: “A Lei, why are you here?”3

Bi Lei blinked and said, as if handing over information, “My brother sent me to work today, so I came to pick up Jiang jie together.”

Jiang Nian felt he was indeed her golden younger brother- he never forgot to hold the gold thighs. She immediately waved to Zhao Heng, and then followed her good brother Bi Lei away. Not far from them was a Rolls-Royce with a window rolled down, and one could faintly see a gilded shadow inside.

Zhao Heng watched Jiang Nian and Bi Lei go away, and the cheerful backs made him smile helplessly. Lao Wei was very surprised. He didn’t expect that Jiang Nian’s relationship with Bi Zheng also was not bad. Jiang Nian was really unusual. Not to mention, “The Spy” also had Bi Zheng’s investment. He looked closely and saw Bi Zheng was sitting in the car.

Lao Wei: “Why does Bi Ershao call her Jiang jie? You are even the elder brother-in-law? It seems Jiang Nian and President Bi also know each other?”

Zhao Heng ignored the first two questions directly and said: ” Niannian wants to pull President Bi’s investment.”

Lao Wei made a sound of realization: “I see. With her relationship with Bi Lei, Bi Zheng should agree to it.”

Zhao Heng: “This I do not know.”

Lao Wei smiled and looked over to see that Jiang Nian and Bi Lei had already boarded the car before leaving with Zhao Heng.

Lao Wei was very clever. He didn’t choose to say hello to Bi Zheng. First, because he realized that Zhao Heng didn’t want to disturb him. Second, Bi Zheng didn’t like others to disturb him in his private time. And, third, the most important thing was for Zhao Heng to shoot “The Spy” well. He believed that Zhao Heng’s abilities meant his position would go far beyond where it was at the present.

****

Lao Wei was ruminating here, and Jiang Nian sat next to her golden thigh there. It was hard to get an opportunity like today. The car the gold thigh drove in person was vaguely familiar, as was his current brand name suit. The pure black outfit made him look even more lofty.

Jiang Nian had recently lost most of her self-confidence due to the indifference of the gold thighs, but the power of money was so strong that she could fall and stand up countless times. Of course, she is standing upright at this moment.

However, Jiang Nian was smart this time. Maybe Bi Zheng didn’t like the formulaic swindling and preferred a more natural state, so she didn’t brag about how good her “Five Million” was, and she was ready to talk about the philosophy of life. Of course, talking about poetry was even better.

Bi Zheng also looked at Jiang Nian from the rearview mirror. She sported a ponytail with a white shirt and jeans. With her plain face, she looked clean and well-behaved. Only a pair of crafty eyes hinted at the bad ideas brewing underneath.

Bi Lei was much more active, preaching good things about his Jiang jie and the “Five Million” crew, trying to fill his dear brother with ecstasy soup.X Unfortunately, they only got one ‘hehe’ all the way. It wouldn’t work like this; Jiang Nian still felt she had to whip out her ultimate weapon!

The Rolls-Royce stopped at the side of the road and Bi Zheng said lightly, “We’re here, get off.”

Bi Lei pouted his lips: “Dear brother, you’re such an unfeeling dear brother.”

Bi Zheng laughed and looked very happy.

“Okay, get out of here, I’m going to be late for work.”

Jiang Nian and Bi Lei listlessly got out of the car, and Bi Zheng looked happier. Bi Lei was still unwilling, lying on the window and stretching his hand out before shouting, “Dear brother, you don’t have to invest, just give me some pocket money. Just a bit, dear brother!”

Bi Zheng was in a good mood, and handed him a card generously, not forgetting to say a few words: “I didn’t give you pocket money before? Why is it gone already? Did you squander it? If you waste this, don’t come to me again for pocket money.”

Bi Lei took the card and put it in his bag and was anxious to hear he wouldn’t get any more pocket money. He quickly explained, “No, I ’m honoring my sister. I didn’t squander it!”

It was a pity that Bi Lei honored the least of the three younger brothers. The two boys, Zheng Qi and Chen Xin, were just scheming dogs. They would give the elder sister red envelopes even when everything was fine, and he lagged behind if he didn’t pay attention.

Bi Zheng: “………?”

Oh, it’s impossible to invest, and it’s impossible to invest in this life.

Pocket money is gone, and pocket money is impossible in this life. 

****

Jiang Nian was pained because she changed countless ways and still couldn’t hold the golden thigh. Even the younger brothers she sent the gold masters were unable to pluck a golden leg hair. Instead, she was getting poorer and poorer. She didn’t understand why. Why was it so difficult to hold a golden thigh? QAQ

……No, it was impossible for the God of Wealth to forget her! It must be that she did not worship the God of Wealth well!

Bi Lei was also very distressed. He didn’t understand why his brother wouldn’t even give him pocket money. He was so obedient. He poured no less tea or water, but his brother even locked the closet! Men in menopause were painful.

Not to mention Bi Lei, Zheng Qi was even more painful, because his second brother was hard-hearted. No matter how he cheated, how obediently he served, he did not see one dime of pocket money!

The only one who was a little better was probably Chen Xin. But he could only write reports and, after writing too many, it wasn’t fresh, until he could only get a nice sentence but no pocket money.

With no way, Jiang Nian could only shoot “I and Five Million Love and Hate” in poverty. And, with no Tianluo girl to comfort her small heart that has been tortured by poverty, she could only stand strong under countless sufferings. After finishing the post-editing, she was told that the name “I and Five Million Love and Hate” was not in line with socialist values ​​and must be changed to a sweet and careful “My President Darling” or something instead.

……How could this be done?!!!!

Jiang Nian accepted it angrily, because she believed that, even if she renamed “My President Daren”, the clever audience could see through to the essence— this was a tale of the love and hate between the heroine and five million.X

1. See above.^

2. This was actually a pun in Chinese that I couldn’t get to translate over. Lit. translation says something like ‘gold master younger brothers were the moons near the water tower. If they showed obedience at home, maybe the tower would spill money instead of waterVery elegant way to describe that she was basically exhausted to the point that she couldn’t see clearly.. ^

3. She, his friends, and his family actually call him ‘Chief Stone’ like his username in the Shen Li chat, but it translates sort of oddly so I just chose the generic term of endearment. ^

4. To be passionately convinced of someone or something (often incorrectly) for no reason at all, as if you were drugged unknowingly. ^

5. ‘Daren’ is a title with pretty much no English equivalent. It literally translates to ‘adult’ or ‘grownup’, but it was used to address government officials in ancient China. And, since the title already has a ‘my’, I couldn’t replace it with Mr. (though ‘My Mister President’ does have a catchy nonsense ring to it). All you guys need to know is it conveys respect to someone with a lot of power..
