Chapter 1105: Chapter 1108

The next day, the only mobile phone store in the village had quietly changed hands. All of the store’s mobile phones had been replaced with the Dragon Eye mobile phones. Although the store employee was still the same as before, there was an addition of a saleswoman.

Sophia wore a rustic floral dress for work. She had come over very early in the morning and even ate breakfast in the store. Her face was bare without any makeup, and there were even dark circles under her eyes. While eating, her eyes swiveled around as she took in her surroundings.

The village was not that huge, so the film crew wouldn’t be far away. Sophia heard that they would be filming on this street later.

Dimon came in holding a rustic signboard. He had someone change the store’s signboard to the new signboard with Dragon Eye’s logo on it. With this, the store instantly became a distributor of Dragon Eye mobile phones.

After eating, Sophia looked around outside the entrance while waiting for the film crew to come over.

By nine, there were more and more people on the street. Sophia heard everyone discussing the five kids on ‘Where Are We Going, Dad?’

The five fathers in this season were all popular superstars. There were Harry Winston and Taylor Murray, and as for the remaining three fathers, they were either rising stars or retired celebrities. So, there were all types of dads and all kinds of cute kids for the viewers to enjoy watching.

The villagers were not hardcore fans as they didn’t know much about those celebrities. Even if the fathers were standing in front of them, they could barely recognize them, so they didn’t even know who was present.

However, even if they did not recognize the man himself, they could still recognize a face. Among those five fathers, there was a very familiar face that stood out to them.

“Huh? Didn’t Miles die a few years ago?”

“He’s not dead! He’s just retired.”

“Miles’ daughter is extremely smart. She’s living with the uncle of my sister-in-law! Most kids like her are very arrogant, but she’s one sweet girl!”

“This is Miles’ break! If he’s on such a big show, he’s going to rise to the top, right? I heard that everyone who is appearing on this show will make it big!”

“Hey, Miles is already a big star! He’s the winner of the Academy Award for Best Actor! Also, he’s been on the New Year Dinner Gala, and he’s been in a lot of movies! For example, he acted in the movie ‘War Dragon’ in which he fought in the war and stole the Imperial Jade Seal! All of you should stop talking nonsense; you don’t know what you’re talking about! He is very much popular!”

“What award?”

“Excuse me, are you sure it’s about the Imperial Jade Seal? The ‘War Dragon’ movie was about fighting human traffickers in Africa! ‘The National Treasury Action’ is the one that was about stealing the Imperial Jade Seal!”

Although the villagers did not know much about the celebrities, the village had a small cineplex where people usually went to watch dramas and movies. They just couldn’t remember the actors’ names and only knew some of the main characters in TV dramas, such as Miles.

Soon, they started moving the topic from the actor ‘Miles’ to the character Miles.

“Say, May was so beautiful, yet why didn’t Miles want to live with her in the countryside? It’s a pity that the contractor took advantage of the situation and got her instead.”

“What do you know? The contractor was wealthy! If I were May, I would choose the contractor too.”

“Miles was just sour grapes! He looked down on us villagers! Yuck, he was an ungrateful one.”

In ‘I Am The Village Chief’, Miles was Michael’s cameo as the heroine’s ex-boyfriend. He only appeared in a few episodes in the first and second part of the series, but his superb acting had literally brought the series to never-before-seen fame, especially in the rural parts of the country where its popularity was extremely high.

Now that there was a third part to the series, the filmmakers strongly requested Michael to go back and make a guest appearance.

After the filming of ‘Where Are We Going, Dad?’, he still needed to take Carmen to the ‘I Am The Village Chief 3’ set.

As ‘I Am The Village Chief 2’ was currently being aired, the ratings had shot up, and the rerun rate was strikingly high. Previously, the crew was just a grass-roots team where the actors were either from the local drama troupe or students who had just graduated from art colleges. After the film’s popularity soared, the director became full of himself and even dared to invite popular big-name stars to make a cameo. What was even more important was that a large number of celebrities couldn’t join even if they wanted to.

Listening to everyone discussing the plot of ‘I Am The Village Chief 2’, Sophia couldn’t help but interject, “How could you say he’s sour grapes? Miles’ family did not agree to him moving to the countryside, and May did not want to move to the city, so it is not their fault! Besides, when May asked him to come back to help, he came back too! So how could you criticize him?”

A pair of villagers sat on benches with Sophia in front of the mobile phone store and started to discuss the plot of the film while snacking at the same time.

A moment later, they heard someone on the street excitedly cry out, “Ethan Winston is here! Peter Lee is here too!”

Peter Lee was a biracial male celebrity. He was also very popular, and so a group of young girls and boys immediately rushed after him. However, the group of older villagers snorted at the sight as they snacked and pointed at the youngsters.

“Look at these girls nowadays! How crazy they are when they see their idol!”

“What a shame! How are they going to get married in the future?”

But unexpectedly, another cry rang out a moment later, “Miles is here!”

In an instant, those older villagers threw away the snacks in their hands and aggressively swarmed around the entrance.

“Here he comes! Miles is here!”

“Let’s go and take a look!”

The street in front where the filming of ‘Where Are We Going, Dad?’ would occur was blocked off, so the huge group of villagers pushed and yelled outside the cordon. All of the villagers had run out of their houses to watch the filming of the reality show. Among a mob of older women, Sophia was squeezed and pushed around by them. She couldn’t even see anyone from the crew, let alone Michael. All she could see were the backs of the other women.

“Wow, look! It’s Miles himself in the flesh! That’s Miles’ daughter. Oh my God, she looks so pretty!”

“Tsk, beautiful, she’s really beautiful. Look at her! Her eyes and her mouth look so much like her father’s!”

“She’s too far away. I can’t see clearly!”

“Miles is really handsome. Look at that nose and those eyes! If I were a few years younger, I would have married him!”

“Dream on! He’s never gonna be interested in you.”

Sophia was almost squeezed to death. No matter how she tried to look, she could only see the back of the heads of a bunch of women. Highly anxious, she tried to shove her way forward more aggressively.

Unfortunately, the group of star-struck women was too strong for her. She was stuck with no way forward or backward, and the worst part was that she couldn’t see a thing.

Holding a selfie stick, she stretched it out haphazardly to capture a few photos. She could see in the distance that someone was filming, and a large team of people was escorting five pairs of fathers and daughters as they completed their tasks.

Coincidentally, she saw Carmen’s super adorable side profile.

If only I can get just a little further ahead!

In the end, it was Gwen and Dimon who, with their combined efforts, dug her out of the mob of village women. Gwen had accompanied Sophia here to see Ashton because she was anxious to be away from her son too.

When Sophia came out, she instantly saw Danny. He wore a rainbow-colored suit and had also dyed his hair rainbow-colored. When he saw Sophia wearing the rustic floral clothing and her appearance that was disheveled from all that pushing and shoving, he remarked in disgust, “Did you really need to do this?”

Sophia was delighted at the sight of him. Great! He will certainly find a way to get me in.

Danny said to Sophia, “Keep a low profile and stay inside the store. They’re going to do a task where the five kids will take a hundred and buy things in the market. They’ll definitely come to your store for change later.”

Sophia hurriedly nodded, then went back to the store and waited for Carmen to come for the change.

After waiting for a while, she saw some security guards clearing the street and the crew coming this way.

The five fathers brought their kids along to the market. Their task today was to buy vegetables at the market with a hundred each and then go back to their living quarters, where the five fathers would cook today’s dinner.

Sophia went back to the store and sat down, waiting for Carmen to come over. After some thought, she put on a face mask, as it would be awkward if they recognized her later.

She wondered how her husband would react when he saw her in the store…
