"What do you mean, this is the only way. Otherwise, you can go and get the money back."
Wang He roared.
Did he want to do this? He was forced into it.
…
"Sister Qiu, the people from the TV station are here."
After making arrangements for everyone, Zhou Yi hurried over to find Ruan Qiushui.
"Has the popular young actor, Zha Zai Ji, arrived yet?"
Ruan Qiushui rubbed her temples and stood up.
"Zha Ziji has arrived and has already met with the people from the TV station."
When asked about Zha Ziji, Zhou Yi looked disdainful.
I don't know what's so good about those pretty-boy men.
She only acted in a TV series, yet she was praised to the skies.
They actually want him to advertise for our pharmaceutical factory; don't let him ruin Ren Shan's reputation.
"Alright, you can arrange the commercial shoot now."
"Don't be resentful of him. Zha Ziji's face appeals to all ages. We still need him to open up the national market."
The celebrity effect is highly valued, not only in this era but also in future generations.
Before inviting Zai Ji, Ruan Qiushui specifically asked someone to investigate his character and the extent of his private life that could be found.
As long as he doesn't do anything illegal or immoral, he doesn't need to worry about his reputation for kindness being ruined.
"Alright."
Zhou Yi could only nod upon hearing Ruan Qiushui's words.
Actually, he wasn't jealous of Zha Zai Ji, he just felt a bit unbalanced.
He worked hard all month, putting in extra hours, and the money he earned wasn't even as much as someone else earns from shooting an advertisement.
And then there's his wife, Lu Yao. As soon as she heard that Zha Ziji would be coming to the pharmaceutical factory today, she got up before dawn to dress up and do her hair. She doesn't even respect him as her husband.
One day, he'll become a star and show his face to the national audience. He'll let everyone know that being a star isn't just about being a skinny guy; a bald, tough guy can be one too.
"Don't worry, I'm already making preparations with Huaxia Film and Television. They will definitely make your dream of becoming a star come true."
Ruan Qiushui would never miss out on the treasure trove that is the film and television industry.
It's important to understand that in the 1980s, when entertainment options were limited, a good TV series or movie could draw massive crowds.
Moreover, she owns numerous businesses, so she can easily insert a few hard-sell ads without even needing to film commercials.
"Sister Qiu, really? Can I be the male lead?"
Zhou Yi quickly pulled his foot back from the office door and looked at Ruan Qiushui with anticipation.
He certainly believed that Sister Qiu wouldn't play a trick on him; he was just afraid that he was hallucinating and wanted to hear it again.
"The male lead? We'll see how the script develops later."
Ruan Qiushui looked at Zhou Yi's face with some difficulty.
Zhou Yi isn't ugly, but his fierce face paired with a bald head makes him look like a street fighter.
If someone with this kind of appearance plays the male lead, will the TV series even pass censorship?
"hey-hey."
Zhou Yi scratched his head and gave a sheepish smile.
"Actually, I don't care about pig's feet or anything like that. I just want to show my face more and let Lu Yao see how good I am."
Zhou Yi was very confident that if he really became a star, his popularity would definitely be higher than that of Zha Ziji.
His wife, Lu Yao, only had eyes for him.
"An idol is an idol, and your bedmate is your bedmate. Don't get jealous for no reason."
Ruan Qiushui didn't want to ruin Zhou Yi and his wife's relationship because of a little rascal.
"By the way, is your wife feeling any better? Is she taking her medicine on time?"
Ruan Qiushui asked with concern.
Zhou Yi and Lu Yao have been married for several years but have not been able to conceive.
So Ruan Qiushui took Lu Yao's pulse and found out that Lu Yao had a cold uterus and insufficient qi and blood, so she prescribed some medicine for her to regulate her body.
"Sister Qiu, my wife is pregnant."
Zhou Yi looked around and said in a low voice.
The old man said that if a woman is less than three months pregnant, she shouldn't tell anyone about her pregnancy.
If Sister Qiu hadn't asked, he definitely would have waited three months to make the announcement.
"You're something else, kid."
It's surprising how strong Zhou Yi's initiative is.
"Lu Yao is pregnant, so you have to be extra careful. You need to be more meticulous about what she eats and drinks every day."
"I'll have someone deliver some bird's nest, sea cucumber, monkey head mushroom, and fresh fruit to your house later."
"If there's no time to cook for Lu Yao on weekdays, just have someone go to the Imperial Kitchen and ask the chef to make her a special pregnancy meal every day and deliver it directly to her home."
"And there's work to do. Lu Yao is pregnant now and needs someone to be with her. You can leave the small things to Changshu and Xiaoxiao to handle. Don't overwork yourself."
Zhou Yi was one of her capable subordinates, and Ruan Qiushui would certainly not hesitate to show him any favors when the opportunity arose.
"Sister Qiu, you are so kind."
Zhou Yi was so moved he almost cried.
Zhou Yi has good judgment; he didn't follow the wrong person.
"Alright, alright, go arrange the advertising."
Ruan Qiushui cannot stand people crying in front of her.
"Understood, I'll go right away."
Zhou Yi wiped away his tears and hurried to the conference room.
"Ring ring ring".
Just as Ruan Qiushui was putting in her eye drops, the phone rang.
"Hello, Renshan Pharmaceutical Factory, who are you looking for?"
Ruan Qiushui blinked and answered the phone to inquire.
"Ruan girl, are you alright?"
Liu Sanmei's nervous voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Grandma, I'm fine. Did something happen at home?"
Ruan Qiushui's heart tightened, and she quickly asked.
If Grandma can call her, she must be alright.
Could it be that something happened to Grandpa or the children?
"Those bastards from the Wang family actually went after Xinyue and Jiahe. Xinyue was just taking Jiahe for a walk when they were almost kidnapped."
"Luckily, your grandfather specifically asked Xiao Li to follow behind, otherwise..."
Liu Sanmei is still shaken by the experience.
If something really happens to Xinyue and Jiahe, how can she explain it to her son, daughter-in-law, and eldest grandson?
I'm afraid I'll blame myself for the rest of my life and be too ashamed to face them.
"Grandma is worried that they might turn on you when they're desperate, so you must be careful."
Liu Sanmei was uneasy, fearing that something might happen to Ruan Yatou as well.
"Grandma, don't worry, no one will dare to mess around with me at the factory."
The security personnel at the pharmaceutical factory are no pushovers; they were specially selected by Gu Changfeng, each one capable of doing the work of five.
"Are your sister-in-law and Jiahe alright? Are they hurt?"
Ruan Qiushui could still hear Jiahe crying on the other end of the phone.
Wang He is truly inhuman; he could even lay a hand on his own granddaughter and great-grandson.
Jiahe was a little frightened, and Xinyue is trying to comfort her.
Hearing Jiahe's sobbing, Liu Sanmei felt a pang of sadness.
"Grandma's eyelids keep twitching. I'll call Changfeng again later and ask him to come pick you up from get off work."
Liu Sanmei felt that she would only feel at ease if her grandson-in-law went.
"Alright."
"By the way, what did Grandpa say about the Wang family?"
The Wang family dares to challenge my sister-in-law and Jiahe, so there's no reason why my grandfather should remain silent.
