Overnight Hit: Vicious Stepmother and Genius Son
Chapter 128 Assistant?

Chapter 128: Chapter 128 Assistant?

Xiao Chen was very excited and said, "I get to play with Mom every day now, and Grandma can see us every day too, that’s really great!"

Before, the little guy was forced to participate in variety shows, but now, he was not only willing but also eager.

Ye Zhenzhen touched the little guy’s head, "Okay, then we’ll go on the variety show together again."

Song Yuchen: "That’s great!"

After Xiao Chen started kindergarten, Ye Zhenzhen had the driver take her to the company.

Before getting out of the car, Madam Song said softly to Ye Zhenzhen, "Zhenzhen, your grandfather had the servants stew a soup, I’ll have someone send it over at noon."

Uh...

Ye Zhenzhen felt it might be too much trouble; she originally wanted to refuse.

But seeing the loving smile on Madam Song’s face, she nodded, "Okay, then I’ll thank Mom and Grandpa."

She should accept such care from her elders.

One shouldn’t be ungrateful.

Madam Song nodded slightly, patted Ye Zhenzhen’s shoulder, and said, "Then go ahead with your work, child. Don’t overdo it and take care of your health."

Ye Zhenzhen smiled back, "Okay, Mom."

Madam Song watched Ye Zhenzhen’s departing figure with a satisfied smile and then said to the driver, "Let’s go back."

Earlier in the car, the old master had sent a WeChat message to Madam Song, saying the servants had stewed soup and would send some over to Ye Zhenzhen and Song Jinze later.

Young people, no matter how energetic, still need nutritious foods.

Madam Song agreed with this, and their current thoughts were very much in alignment—they were eager to have a grandchild soon.

And Ye Zhenzhen was completely unaware of all this...

...

Ye Zhenzhen’s entrance to YG today was completely different compared to the past. From the moment she stepped through the entrance, everyone from the receptionist to each person she met greeted her with friendly smiles.

Ye Zhenzhen smiled back at each one.

She recalled the memories of the original host coming to the company; the original was not popular and had an unlikeable personality, and everyone treated her as if she were air.

Now, Ye Zhenzhen received such treatment tied to her recent appearances on variety shows and the trending searches online.

Today, Ye Zhenzhen was wearing a beige autumn and winter dress from DR, with a dark-colored coat over it and a pair of new autumn and winter heels from GFX.

Her black curly hair spilled around her waist and swung lightly with her poised and confident steps. Her delicate features and the faint smile hooked on her rosy lips gave off an impression of dignity and elegance.

In the pantry, two employees whispered to each other behind someone’s back:

Employee one: "I haven’t seen Ye Zhenzhen in many days, and seeing her today, it feels like she has completely changed from before!"

Employee two: "Of course, she was criticized by the entire internet before, and now she’s being praised—Ye Zhenzhen is popular now!"

"Ever heard that popularity nurtures people? Now that she’s famous, of course, she feels different."

Little assistant Shao Qiqi leaned in, "I heard that Sister Zhenzhen is quite close to Xiao Yi, is it true?"

Employee one: "It’s all over Weibo, they are friends."

Shao Qiqi nodded her head, her mind already calculating.

She leaned in closer to ask about this. It wasn’t for anything else; she just wanted to make sure she got it clear and then planned to ask Ye Zhenzhen for help to get a few autographed photos of Xiao Yi.

Recently, the craze for Xiao Yi’s autographed photos had heated up discussions in various fan groups, with some of the more fanatical fans even declaring that they were willing to pay a high price for the photos.

Seeing this, Shao Qiqi spotted a business opportunity. If she could really get a few autographed photos of Xiao Yi and sell them, she might quickly have enough for the down payment on a house in Jiangcheng and get married to her boyfriend.

Shao Qiqi returned to her desk, occasionally glancing in the direction where Ye Zhenzhen had just gone – towards Liu Rui’s office.

When Liu Rui saw Ye Zhenzhen entering her office, she greeted her cheerfully, "Zhenzhen, An Hao is finished."

Ye Zhenzhen raised an eyebrow, a hint of disgust flashing in her eyes.

For a person like that, it was only a matter of time before they were finished.

It’s just that Wu Yuerou was too obtrusive in front of her; she had merely hastened their downfall.

After Liu Rui informed Ye Zhenzhen of the handling process regarding An Hao and that it was Chen Ke who had passed the evidence to Deputy Director Sun, Ye Zhenzhen smiled and said, "That’s good, thank Director Chen for me."

Just yesterday, she was regretting not being popular enough on Weibo; now, having dealt with it quietly like this, turned out to be the best of both worlds.

Liu Rui then said, "I heard that Wu Yuerou has now been stripped of resources at Lemon Channel. The three variety shows she hosted last night have all been taken over by the station.

Even her staple primetime show has been given to Shuangshuang to lead."

Shuangshuang and Liu Rui knew each other and had a pretty good relationship. This morning, after Liu Rui saw on Weibo that Shuangshuang had replaced Wu Yuerou, she made a call to catch up.

And that’s how she learned of Wu Yuerou’s current pitiful state.

Ye Zhenzhen curled her lips scornfully, "A person like Wu Yuerou is like a praying mantis after autumn; they only hop around for a day or two."

Liu Rui nodded in agreement, "She can only blame herself for being too excessive in the industry before. Now that there’s no place for her at Lemon Channel, no other place would take her in. She’s completely done for in this circle."

Speaking of this, Liu Rui thought about the troll Ye Zhenzhen mentioned during her live broadcast a few days ago, named ’Chu Xue.’

"Zhenzhen, about that troll named ’Chu Xue’ you mentioned last time on the live broadcast, that you want to sue – Chen Ke has spoken to the company’s legal department, and they’re handling it. Do you have any other evidence?"

A flicker of surprise went through Ye Zhenzhen’s eyes, but she quickly realized it was inevitable.

Chen Ke was taking her seriously, probably because of her current popularity and commercial value.

It was actually quite good to have such a leader, at the very least someone who knew how to handle business.

"Yes, I’ll send it to you right now."

Da Mi had sent all the information to her phone yesterday, but she hadn’t paid much attention to it since she went shopping with her mother-in-law.

After the information was sent, Liu Rui’s assistant, Xiao Ruan, brought in the script Liu Rui had asked for, with Shao Qiqi following behind her carrying tea.

When Liu Rui saw Shao Qiqi, she remembered something: Ye Zhenzhen’s previous assistant had resigned. She asked Ye Zhenzhen with a smile, "Zhenzhen, how about Shao Qiqi as your assistant?"

Ye Zhenzhen sat on the sofa, looked up slightly, and glanced at the girl serving tea. Her medium-long hair was tied into a ponytail, she had an oval face, and her skin wasn’t too fair. Her small delicate features gave her an innocently cute look, making her appear very obedient.

But there was a sly twinkle in her almond-shaped eyes.

Shao Qiqi, very aware of the situation, placed the cup of water in front of Ye Zhenzhen, "Sister Zhenzhen, here’s your water," and then stood to one side.

Her face showed a bit of tension, and she was inwardly nervous. She very much wanted Ye Zhenzhen to hire her as an assistant.

She had seen the trending searches on Weibo related to Ye Zhenzhen and thought highly of her. If she could become Ye Zhenzhen’s assistant, it would be a wonderful opportunity.

Shao Qiqi smiled, baring her small teeth, "Sister Zhenzhen, I promise to be available 24 hours a day; if you want, I can follow you closely wherever you go."
