Chapter 85: The Movie Star's Crazy Ex-Girlfriend (36)
Gu Yiqin knew that Wen Wan was scared, so he did not stop her. However, the consequences of this incident were immediate, and rumors spread throughout the company.
Xiaoqi had just angrily berated the assistant who said her sister Wen Wan had slept with President Gu. She knew that assistant; he was Zhao Hanjiao's assistant. After leaving Brother Jie, Zhao Hanjiao went to work for the company's famous agent, Li Congfang, who was Brother Jie's mortal enemy. She wondered how the two, who were of such different statuses, had become enemies.
Therefore, Zhao Hanjiao is a typical ingrate in Xiao Qi's eyes.
However, evil deeds are punished. Zhao Hanjiao went to work for Li Congfang and received a bunch of fast food resources. One of the brands even went bankrupt. She deserved it!
"I'm so angry! They don't know anything, their minds are filthy, they can't think of any other word besides 'unspoken rules'."
While eating fruit, Wen Wan looked at Xiao Qi's exasperated expression. "Why get angry with them? They wouldn't dare say it to my face anyway. If they dare to talk about me to my face, I'll just whisper in their ear. After all, according to their thinking, I'm at least a femme fatale who could bring ruin to a country, right? After all, I was able to pluck my teacher Gu, this iron-hearted flower."
"Iron Flower? President Gu is clearly very gentle with Sister Wen Wan."
Wen Wan: "To me, I am a flower; to others, I am iron."
Xiaoqi was amused, and most of her anger dissipated. Then she took out the script that Brother Jie had arranged, "The broadcast of 'Double Path' was super successful, and you have a lot more script choices now. I've read them, and many of them are for the female lead."
Looking at the scripts, Wen Wan felt a headache coming on. "I don't think any of them are quite suitable."
"But Sister Wen Wan, you haven't seen it yet."
Wen Wan tugged at Xiao Qi's sleeve, "I need to take a vacation, and your CEO Gu approved it."
Xiaoqi: "..."
What could she, as an employee, say about what President Gu said? So she could only reply to Chen Jie. Chen Jie was still unwilling to give up and brought a bunch of endorsements to Wen Wan, saying, "You've just gained some popularity now and need some endorsements to solidify your fanbase. These are all carefully selected by me and are all suitable for you."
Wen Wan didn't want to accept the offer. "Brother Jie, I just want to act. My fans only need to watch my shows."
Chen Jie looked at Wen Wan and then sighed, "Other artists are eager to become famous and then rake in profits, but you, even with President Gu's backing, don't want to become famous. Fine, if you want to act, I'll just give you scripts from now on."
The release date for "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" was soon set, and Wen Wan, as the third female lead, also had to participate in the promotion. Chen Jie told her to take a look at the eager fans on Weibo. It was only then that Wen Wan switched to the artist's account for the first time, and found that under her only Weibo post reposting "Double Path", a group of fans were urging her to come out and do some promotion.
So Wen Wan thought about it, forwarded the release date announcement, and then posted another Weibo post, preparing to start a live stream.
While Gu Yiqin was working at the company, Wen Wan asked Xiao Qi to set up her live streaming equipment and download the most popular live streaming app. "Sister Wen Wan, what kind of content are you planning to stream?"
"Cook."
"What???" Xiao Qi exclaimed in surprise. She had no idea that her sister Wen Wan could cook.
After that, I ordered a lot of vegetables and various meats from food delivery services.
Once everything was ready, Wen Wan turned on her camera, and fans quickly flooded in. There weren't many, but there were quite a few as well. Many of them were fans of "Shuangdao," and many others were fans of her looks.
Wen Wan leaned closer to the camera, giving it a close-up shot, and asked, "Can you see me?"
Fans were quickly captivated by Wen Wan's porcelain-white skin and bright, sparkling eyes, their hearts fluttering with affection.
[I can see it! I can see it! The daughter is so cute! Just as cute as in the drama.]
[Her voice is so soft, and my daughter isn't even wearing makeup; her skin is so nice, I just want to take a bite.]
[Wife, I'm your long-lost husband!!!]
Wen Wan smiled as she looked at the comments. "Since you can see this, remember to watch 'The Legend of the Rainbow Dress' on the 15th of next month. I play Princess Li Luo in it. Today, my live stream is about cooking. I'm going to make braised pork ribs, steamed fish, minced meat and eggplant, and scrambled eggs with tomatoes."
I wanted to eat this! I never expected my daughter could cook.
Wen Wan: "I'm not good at cooking."
Fans initially thought Wen Wan was being modest, but they soon realized that she wasn't being modest; rather, she was self-aware.
Several times while Wen Wan was chopping vegetables, her fans were on tenterhooks, afraid that she would cut her finger. After finally preparing the ingredients, before the water in the pot had even dried up, Wen Wan put in the oil, which sizzled and popped instantly. Wen Wan was so frightened that she jumped out of the kitchen.
The expression on my face was so frightened it became a meme.
Comments: [...]
One fan commented: "Where's assistant Xiaoqi? Come help your artist, I'm afraid she'll burn down the kitchen."
Xiao Qi quickly turned down the heat, and Wen Wan remained expressionless, as if nothing had happened, and put the ribs into the pot to stir-fry.
"That was an accident. I followed the recipe exactly, adding two and a half spoonfuls of salt and one spoonful of oyster sauce..."
Xiao Qi: "Sister Wen Wan, that's candy."
Wen Wan had already finished adding the ingredients. "It's okay. Anyway, the recipe says to add a spoonful of sugar. I'll just add a little water."
After adding water, Wen Wan said, "Next, we need to add salt. I just added water, so I'll add more salt, otherwise it will be bland."
They were talking to each other while cooking.
Fans were alarmed, commenting, "Is this some kind of culinary disaster? Why add so much water to braised pork ribs? And it seems the daughter used dark soy sauce instead of light soy sauce, adding a lot of it."
[Should the fans eat first?]
[This fan declined; my daughter ate first.]
"It's done." Wen Wan poured the ribs out and garnished them with cilantro leaves. "Eat the glass noodles first."
Fans: No way.
Making fans eat it is definitely a joke. Wen Wan stared intently at Xiao Qi beside her. Xiao Qi closed her eyes. She watched her make it. Although the amount of seasoning was wrong, it wasn't burnt, and there was nothing strange added. It shouldn't kill anyone.
"I am coming."
She picked up a piece of pork rib and put it in her mouth. The taste instantly shot to her temples. Wen Wan asked expectantly, "How does it taste?"
Xiaoqi took a bite and gulped down a large glass of water. "Actually, apart from being a little salty and a little sweet, and not fully cooked, it's alright."
Wen Yan: "..."
The fans flooded the screen with "hahahahaha" comments.
Is there anywhere left to eat?
Wen Wan took a bite, then her face turned bright red, and she spat it into the trash can next to her. It was so embarrassing, especially since she was still live-streaming. She was utterly humiliated.
"Next dish, this time it'll definitely be a success. The simplest tomato and egg stir-fry, this time it's sure to be a hit."
[My daughter's planted the flag; I think I'll be proven wrong.]
Don't you dare bully my wife! Come to my house, and I'll feed you braised pork ribs!
Don't make fun of my wife; she won first place in a food competition show.
Wen Wan frowned as she looked at the comments. "I'll show you how to crack an egg with one hand."
That's easy; Teacher Gu always does it effortlessly.
Holding an egg in one hand, he snapped it open.
The egg broke.
The shell was broken too.
The egg and shell got mixed up together.
Nan Li: "..."
Xiaoqi: "..."
"It was an accident, it was an accident," Xiaoqi quickly added. "This egg is definitely not fresh."
Wen Wan: "Then let's choose another one."
Fan: [Hahahaha, one dares to say it, and the other dares to believe it.]
[Help! My wife is so adorable! I want to put her in my pocket and take her home. I can easily trick her with two eggs, right? We have plenty of eggs.]
Honey, let me beat the eggs for you.
My wife, who is enjoying a wonderful life, gifted me a hundred roses.
Suddenly, the screen was filled with roses as a reward, which surprised the fans. On this live streaming platform, DouMiao rewards roses at 100 yuan each, so 100 roses would be 10,000 yuan.
For some high-profile or popular internet celebrities, this is nothing, but Wen Wan is still a newcomer, and her fans are giving her gifts one by one.
Fans exclaimed: [Watching this tycoon!]
Wen Wan picked out the eggshells from the eggs, then beat them. She put oil in a dry pan and waited until the oil was about 70% hot before Xiao Qi said, "Sister Wen Wan, you can pour in the eggs now."
Wen Wan immediately poured the eggs in, but her hand slipped and the bowl went in with them. Wen Wan reached in and tried to scoop it out, but Xiao Qi rushed over, turned off the heat, and then retrieved the bowl.
silence.
"Sister Wen Wan, why don't you count and I'll do it? I remember you won first place in the food competition, so you might be better at giving instructions."
Wen Wan thought about it and realized that she might not be suited to cooking, so she gave up and said, "I suggest you cook."
As long as she doesn't cook it herself, Wen Wan talks about it in great detail. In order to salvage her image in front of her fans, she even introduces recipes in various ways, teaching everyone how to make braised pork ribs that aren't dry, how to make scrambled eggs with tomatoes that don't fall apart, and how to make steamed fish that isn't fishy—all practical tips.
The fans laughed.
My wife: A giant in theory, a dwarf in practice, please bear with her.
[I knew it! Everyone else on the food competition show cooked for themselves, but Yuan Yuan insisted on spending a fortune to hire a chef. Turns out she only knows theory.]
[Hahaha, so cute, I want to sleep.]
My wife, who has a wonderful life, gifted me 999 roses.
999 roses? That's almost 100,000.
He instantly topped the list of richest people, his typing practically glowing with gold: "[This is my wife, don't call her that.]"
[Help! Just because you're rich doesn't mean you can be superior! Yuan Yuan is everyone's wife.]
[Someone came and beat up the rich guy; he actually wanted to have his cute wife all to himself.]
My wife, who has a wonderful life, gifted me 999 roses.
My wife, who has a wonderful life, gifted me 999 roses.
My wife, who has a wonderful life, gifted me 999 roses.
...
The fans were stunned; the live chat was completely silent.
In the end, it was Xiaoqi who discovered it and told Wenwan. Wenwan leaned closer to her phone and realized that a fan had actually given her five or six hundred thousand yuan in tips. She was so shocked that she almost turned off the live stream.
I asked Xiaoqi, and then quickly shut down the tipping channel.
"I don't need tips, don't spend money on me."
My wife has a wonderful life: I like to spend money on her.
Wen Wan looked at the name of the wealthy person who gave the reward and felt that it looked familiar. She quickly asked the system, "Could the person who gave the reward be Teacher Gu?"
System: [Yes.]
Wen Yan: "..."
Was Teacher Gu actually watching her livestream? Didn't he see her mess up? And he even gave her a tip, does he have a lot of money?
So when the live stream ended, Wen Wan made a video call to Gu Yiqin. Gu Yiqin was in his office, dressed in a neat suit with his hair combed back.
Ms. Gu looks beautiful as always today.
But she had something very serious to say, so she put on a stern face and said, "Teacher Gu, you were the one who tipped me just now, weren't you? Do you know that I'm not signed with any platform, so I don't get a single penny?"
Gu Yiqin: "Can't you get it?" He genuinely didn't know.
Wen Wan laughed, "Don't waste money like that next time. The platform takes half of it, and with those few moves you made, you lost half the money."
"They call you wife."
Wen Yan: "..."
So it's all because of jealousy? He angrily threw money at the rewards, acting like a tycoon?
Wen Wan suddenly couldn't stay angry anymore, and then said with a blush, "They were joking, but you weren't."
Gu Yiqin chuckled, his gentle voice traveling through the loudspeaker into Wen Wan's ears, "I know, you are my wife alone."
Wen Wan nodded. On the other side, Gu Yiqin looked at the obedient and soft Wen Wan, and his heart felt like it was soaking in a honey pot. How could she be so well-behaved? So cute?
"Mr. Gu, the scheduled meeting time is approaching." The secretary came in, and Gu Yiqin nodded.
Wen Wan: "Then you can continue working. I won't bother you anymore. Bye."
Hang up the phone.
