Chapter 557 The Star-Plucker (Twenty-Four)
Shen Fanxing never imagined that these people would be so approachable.
All afternoon, she was responsible for smiling, while the grandmothers praised her. The grandfathers praised Zhou Zhiyun.
We had a happy lunch, chatted with the grandparents for a while, and then left.
Once in the car, Shen Fanxing rubbed her cheeks and sighed, "Zhou Zhiyun, you were so lucky when you were little, with so many grandparents spoiling you."
Zhou Zhiyun thought for a moment and nodded: "When I was little, if I did something wrong and my grandparents couldn't protect me, I would go to Grandpa He and the others, and they would be able to protect me."
Shen Fanxing asked in surprise, "You've done something wrong? What's the biggest mistake you've ever made?"
Looking back now, Zhou Zhiyun realizes it wasn't a big deal, but it seemed very serious when she was a child.
“There’s a canteen in our compound. Once, a few of us went to ask for steamed buns, but the squad leader didn’t give us any. So I took them to the cellar to pee.”
"Then the class monitor saw me and told my dad right away. My dad chased me halfway around the courtyard with a belt. Luckily, I ran fast and ran into Grandpa He's house."
Shen Fanxing found it amusing: "You are indeed very naughty, so it's not a loss for you to get a beating."
After saying that, he sighed, "You were so lucky when you were a child."
Zhou Zhiyun knew that Shen Fanxing was an orphan and hadn't received much love or care when she was young. She pursed her lips and said, "It's alright. From now on, my family will be your family too."
Shen Fanxing turned to look at him, staring at him for a while: "Thank you, Zhou Zhiyun."
"However, although I am an orphan, I am not pitiful, and I am still very happy."
Zhou Zhiyun changed the subject: "Have you ever done anything wrong?"
Shen Fanxing leaned back in her chair: "The mistake I made was that when I was young and ignorant, I was discovered by a talent scout. She said that as long as I became a star, I would make a lot of money. As a result, I accidentally signed a deadbeat contract."
Zhou Zhiyun asked curiously, "What contract?"
Thinking about this, Shen Fanxing still felt a pang of heartache: "My contract was supposed to expire in two months, but I didn't realize there was something wrong with it, and it was automatically renewed for another five years."
"That means I have to work for this heartless boss for another five years."
Five years is five years, it'll be over in the blink of an eye.
Zhou Zhiyun didn't quite understand: "What about breaking the date?"
Shen Fanxing felt heartbroken when she thought about the consequences of breaking the contract: "I'll have to pay money, a lot of money."
She didn't want to pay a single penny to the unscrupulous boss.
Zhou Zhiyun was silent for a moment: "Are you short of money?"
Shen Fanxing hummed in agreement, then quickly shook her head: "No, I have other uses for my money."
She didn't have high demands for her quality of life, and spent most of her money on other things.
Zhou Zhiyun originally wanted to take Shen Fanxing to the mall, but her assistant kept making phone calls.
In the end, they were so badly beaten they almost cried.
Shen Fanxing had no choice but to go to the company to help her, so she asked Zhou Zhiyun to take her there. She said apologetically, "I don't know what time I'll be able to get off work. You go home first, and I'll call you when I'm done."
Before getting off the bus, she grinned and leaned over to kiss him before happily getting off.
Zhou Zhiyun watched Shen Fanxing enter the building before leaving.
Originally, I wanted to drive home, but then I thought about it and turned around ahead to go to the company to find Jiang Zhizhi.
Jiang Zhizhi had already received a call from Fang Hua, informing her that Zhou Zhiyun had taken Shen Fanxing to see several elderly people. She knew that this brat, once he set his mind on something, could do it very well.
So she wasn't surprised at all when she saw Zhou Zhiyun come to see her.
He even joked with a laugh, "What, now you realize you have a mother?"
Zhou Zhiyun didn't mind. She pulled up a chair and sat down opposite Jiang Zhizhi's desk. Looking at the pile of documents on the desk, she hesitated for a moment and asked, "Mom, are you busy?"
Jiang Zhizhi laughed: "If you need something from me, just say so. Whether I'm busy or not depends on how important or trivial your matter is."
Zhou Zhiyun paused for a moment, then said, "I want to marry Shen Fanxing."
Jiang Zhizhi was surprised: "Marriage? You've only met a few times in Tibet, and spent a day and a night together since you got back, and you're already thinking about marriage? Shouldn't you be dating first?"
Zhou Zhiyun frowned: "Even if I submit the application, it will take at least two weeks to get it approved..."
Jiang Zhizhi understood: "You're not thinking of holding the wedding during your vacation, are you?"
Zhou Zhiyun's thinking was very simple: "Yes, I don't know when my next leave will be. After we get married, Xingxing can come to Tibet to find me and can accompany me to the military."
Jiang Zhizhi suddenly felt a bit amused and exasperated: "Did you even ask Fanxing what she thought? Don't you really want to know more? Also, if you get married and Fanxing has to give up her career, would she be willing?"
Zhou Zhiyun asked in surprise, "Why would she give up her career?"
Jiang Zhizhi asked seriously, "Her work means she'll be frequently in the public eye, and her private life will also be exposed often. Can you accept that?"
Zhou Zhiyun has already come up with a plan: "If she likes this industry, I should respect and support her. As for exposure, I think because of my status, no reporter would dare to take photos, let alone publish them."
Jiang Zhizhi laughed, got up and patted Zhou Zhiyun on the shoulder, it seemed she had really thought it through.
“If you and Fanxing discuss it, Dad and I will definitely support you.”
Zhou Zhiyun pondered for a moment: "Mom, I came to see you not only to ask for your support for me and Xingxing being together, but also to ask if your company could acquire the company Xingxing works for."
Jiang Zhizhi was stunned for a moment, then slapped Zhou Zhiyun: "You brat, you've got a good plan. Now that the company is yours and Fanxing is the boss, no one will dare to talk about her."
Zhou Zhiyun indeed thought so: "She has no backing, so it's really difficult for her to run a company alone. If your company isn't working out, my uncle's company should be able to."
Jiang Zhizhi clicked her tongue: "Sure enough, once the son grows up, his heart belongs to his wife."
After thinking for a moment, I said, "Our company mainly manufactures pharmaceuticals, which have nothing to do with the entertainment industry. We do need your uncle's help. I was just thinking that both families could have a meal with your grandparents."
After saying that, he laughed and said, "Our family will give Shen Fanxing an entertainment company as a dowry. What do you think?"
Zhou Zhiyun was very satisfied: "Thank you, Mom."
Jiang Zhizhi sneered: "Look at you, when you're in a relationship, you act like a rich man's stupid son. Only Fanxing is kind-hearted, otherwise she would have been fooled."
Zhou Zhiyun remained silent; what he set his sights on could not be wrong.
...
Shen Fanxing was urgently summoned back to the company, and was asked to find Shang Xingzhou and try to secure the company's endorsement for a female artist named Xu Jiajia.
The agent and two bosses surrounded Shen Fanxing, taking turns to persuade her: "Fanxing, you see, we're not forcing you, we just want you to go and say hello to President Shang."
"If you succeed in this, the company will reward you with one million!"
