"Miss Zhao's favor is a bit too much?" Two eggs are just a favor.
"You call me Miss Zhao, but don't you know what my Zhao is?" Ziyi's smile did not fade. "But you, the Wang, how much do you get? The prince hasn't even made an official announcement yet, and you're already thinking of taking advantage of me for free. This is not good, Fourth Young Master Wang."
They were both in the same circle, and she could still tolerate Wang Haochen using his surname to choke her.
"It's said that reincarnation is a great skill. If the fourth young master had been born a few years earlier, he could at least have been the eldest son, right? It's nothing like now. He's always messing around in the little corners of the supermarket and getting 500 yuan worth of flowers as a gift. Tsk tsk."
Wang Haochen: ...
"Oh, the Fourth Young Master doesn't think much of my traveling thousands of miles to do a favor. Okay, let's go. Remember to tell your mother about this when you get home. See if she'll spank you, you idiot." Ziyi said with regret, "No wonder we can't compete with the neighbors. They've already moved into the city center, and you're still playing house in this rural-urban fringe. Forget it, we can't expect too much from a diploma we paid for abroad."
Wang Haochen: ...
"That's better than shaking milk tea at a milk tea shop. I still have the photo of Miss Zhao shaking milk tea."
"I'm sure that the milk tea shop is mine, but are you sure that this shabby little supermarket is yours?" Ziyi rolled her eyes. "You don't even know who you're making money for, and you think you can bully me. Oh, send me the photo of your sister shaking the milk tea later so I can see if it's beautiful. If it's not, I'll show you what I can do to you."
Even after getting in the car with the eggs in hand, Shen Zhiming still hadn't reacted. "Is this the legendary fight between the rich second generation? Why is it like they're arguing with a primary school kid?"
"Hey, you're lowering my standards. I'm in a business war with him." There were three people in the car, all of them family. Their fur was instantly restrained. "He has a stupid brain and doesn't understand who he's working so hard for. I'm trying to give him some advice with good intentions, asking him to save some money for me and stop being so stingy. If he can, I'd give him a house, a car, or a yacht, too, right, Qin Yuhuan?"
Qin Yuhuan was quiet, smiled slightly and nodded.
Ziyi started the car and drove towards the city. "Qin Yuhuan is going to win the Best Actress trophy in the future. You think you can just give her 500 yuan? What a joke."
Qin Yuhuan's gaze continued to fall on the rearview mirror: "You are very optimistic about me."
"I'm optimistic about everyone equally. The popularity of the entertainment industry is a bit metaphysical, so it's hard to say."
Ziyi thought about her previous life. No matter how much she managed, she could only get Shu Baizhu to the first-line level, which was far from the top level. She lacked spirituality in acting, and many directors who specialized in making award-winning films were not willing to choose her as the female lead, even if Ziyi invested money at all costs.
Ziyi knew that Shu Baizhu didn't like being in the entertainment industry that much. In comparison, her paintings were more spiritual. Ziyi had tried to persuade her, but she just wouldn't listen.
The payback period for painting is long, and whether it is popular or not depends more on operations and other factors. However, the entertainment industry makes a lot of money quickly, and Shu Baizhu has his own plans.
“Sometimes even if you have money, you still can’t become famous.”
To truly be able to hold the title of "performing artist" you can't do it with money alone.
"Thank you for today." Qin Yuhuan was still wearing the dress she had custom-made for the ribbon-cutting ceremony. "If it's convenient, I'd like to go back and change clothes. I'll treat you to dinner tonight. Is that okay?"
"I really want to have dinner with you, Yuyu." Shen Zhiming burst into tears, "But I've been eating and drinking with Ziyi these days. I haven't posted the weekly video yet. Today is the last day, so I have to go back to work overtime."
"It seems that the person I'm eating and drinking with will have to change tonight." Ziyi glanced at the rearview mirror and smiled at Qin Yuhuan, "I'll take Shen Zhiming home first, and I'll take you back later."
On the way, Ziyi pulled over and answered a call from Lao Zhao. She had the memory of managing the company in her previous life, so she naturally had some control over the future situation.
Zhao Fengzhuo was quite surprised after reading the plan submitted by Ziyi.
After Shen Zhiming left, Qin Yuhuan moved to the co-pilot seat. She tilted her head and listened to Ziyi explaining her thoughts in a calm tone. As if she noticed Qin Yuhuan's gaze, Ziyi tilted her head and glanced at her.
Qin Yuhuan smiled and shook his head, signaling her to go to the phone without worry.
"Yiyi, is there any hope for your mother and I to retire?" Zhao Fengzhuo joked at the end.
"Dad, the retirement age has been extended. I suggest you look at your age and say this again." Ziyi was tired of holding the phone and was looking for headphones around, but someone next to her directly handed her a pair of wired headphones.
Zhao Fengzhuo changed the subject and said, "Recently, many people have been asking us, both openly and secretly, about the meaning of adopting a goddaughter. What do you think? Yiyi, a goddaughter isn't a prestigious title."
Especially in a circle like theirs.
"Did you ask Shu Baizhu at the time? Did she say yes?" Ziyi's tone was calm, without much fluctuation. "She said yes, which means she was willing to trade such an identity for that money. Dad, let me be cruel. If it wasn't me, she would agree if it was another family. The title of goddaughter is not nice, but the benefits she gets outweigh it."
It's not just about the money, it's also about the invisible deterrent that comes with being in the entertainment industry.
"Mom and Dad are actually quite curious as to why you suddenly changed so quickly." Zhao Fengzhuo had previously said that Ziyi was very much like his parents, even their romantic nature was the same.
"Because your relationship is mutual, mine is unilateral." Ziyi looked forward as night fell and the streetlights illuminated the road ahead. "I don't want a relationship based on personal gain. It's too tiring."
Ziyi only recently figured it out. In her previous life, she was not forcing Shu Baizhu with benefits, but rather a transaction. She gave Shu Baizhu what he wanted, and Shu Baizhu gave her half-hearted companionship.
Unfortunately, her trading partner is not so trading-minded. Her emotional value is entirely based on her own imagination rather than on the other party.
"So let's just leave it at that. Our family has done its best, and so have I." Ziyi didn't think she was ruthless. Between her and Shu Baizhu, she was far less ruthless than Shu Baizhu.
"Okay, Dad got it. Then... work hard. Mom and Dad want to travel around the world to make up for their honeymoon, so you should get established as soon as possible." Zhao Fengzhuo's mind was full of retirement, retirement, retirement.
Especially... after he discovered that his daughter had something.
Ziyi: ...
He hung up the phone without saying a word.
"My dad called. I'm sorry to have delayed you. I'll take you back to change your clothes." Ziyi smiled apologetically and drove back on the road.
"It's nice."
Qin Yuhuan seemed to like calling her in a serious and soft voice at certain moments.
"Hmm? What?"
"Will you be... frustrated?" Qin Yuhuan seemed to have trouble organizing his words. "What I mean is, I don't want to start a new relationship."
"No," Ziyi replied quickly. "I know it's popular these days to be all about careers, but my parents are the role models of success I've always had. I'm not that afraid of failed relationships. On the contrary, I'll move forward without hesitation. As the saying goes, 'Children make choices, adults want everything.' I think it's okay to pursue both love and career, right?"
