章 21: Working to Feed Her Son

"Speaking of which, I have a question I wanted to ask you."
"Go ahead." Feng Lanchu said graciously.
"Jiang Anzhi is so charming. Will you fall for him one day?"
"Er..." Feng Lanchu paused for a moment. She had never thought of this, and she answered hesitantly, "Probably not? After all, we belong to two different worlds."
"Have you never been interested in him over the past three years?" Zhu Mingming asked doubtfully.
Even though she was Feng Lanchu's best friend, she had not seen Jiang Anzhi again after the glimpse of him she had caught at their wedding. Of course, her greatest shame in life was that she had not recognized Jiang Anzhi at the wedding. After all, she had claimed to be knowledgable in all fields, but she had not managed to recognize a top star. But now, she knew all about the new young celebrities and their bosses and how their companies operate.
Of course, this was veering off-topic. She was just a little confused. Was Jiang Anzhi only handsome because of all that makeup and that he was actually dreadfully ugly without it? Otherwise, how could Feng Lanchu not be interested in the three years they have known each other?
Feng Lanchu carefully back to all the times she had seen Jiang Anzhi. There were indeed many times he had been so handsome that she had been stunned. For example, when he had stepped out of the shower, when he was sleeping, when he was gardening and watering the flowers, the way his eyes were soft while he ate, his hand when he held his chopsticks...
But she was a rational person. She only admired him as an artwork of the creator, just as she admired animals.
Zhu Mingming sighed helplessly. "Alright, you are a low EQ slowpoke. Just eat and don't think too much. Perhaps the movie star would fall for you because of this."
Feng Lanchu laughed heartily when she heard that.
"That's not impossible."
After signing the agreement with the production crew, Feng Lanchu received calls from the director and the planning crew. They informed her verbally of the location of the first shoot and a rough introduction of what they were going to do then.
They had told her that other than her, another wilderness survival specialist would accompany the filming crew. While the title of an accompanying specialist might sound nice, but to tell the truth, they were just regular people. The focus of the production crew when they promoted the show would not be on them. As such, Feng Lanchu did not pay much attention. She started to buy gear and other items necessary for the trip while she taught.
Soon, the first sum of money was sent to her account. It was 20% of the full sum she would receive, but it was still tens of thousands of dollars.
Feng Lanchu went to the supermarket and splurged there happily. Even though her wage was not low, it was as good as nothing compared to Jiang Anzhi's. Even though she had Jiang Anzhi's card, she did not use the money in there other than for necessary home expenses. She paid for the things she wanted and lived a middle-class life. But compared to Jiang Anzhi's wealth, she was much weaker in this aspect.
That was why she had taken up this job to make some extra cash. Furthermore, she would be able to visit a place she had always wanted to go to. So why not?
She suddenly received a WeChat call while at the supermarket.
She picked up her phone and saw that it was Jiang Anzhi. Jiang Anzhi was someone who could not be contacted once he left home. He would call perhaps once or twice a month and always say he wanted to speak to Angling Jiang. He rarely looked for her.
"Hi, I am still at the supermarket and am not home yet." It was obvious that what she meant was that Angling was not with her.
"..." Jiang Anzhi paused for a second before saying, "I saw that you had a lot of outdoor gear when I unpacked your luggage. I wanted to ask you what brand they are."
"Oh, are you going to buy some?"
"Yes, I need them for work."
"I can send you a couple of shop names later. They have clothes that are especially suitable for outdoor activities."
"Alright." Jiang Anzhi nodded.
"Then I shall hang up first. There are lots of people in the supermarket."
"Alright." Jiang Anzhi nodded silently.
Noone saw the gentleness in his eyes as he spoke in soft tones on the phone in the RV.
