Chapter 165: Chapter 165 Season 2 Premiere

Han Jiangxue nodded, "Yes, and after I finish recording the variety show, I’ll start shooting for the drama. Ah Nan, you can rest assured, we will definitely not invest this money in vain."

She was certain she would make money from this drama.

Shen Zhaonan furrowed his brows and heaved a somber sigh. By rights, he shouldn’t have any regrets, but within just one day, the situation had unexpectedly changed.

If today’s bank loan could have come through, it wouldn’t matter whether it was tens of millions or a hundred million; he wouldn’t have felt any reservation about investing it.

Seeing that Shen Zhaonan hadn’t responded, Han Jiangxue continued to reassure him, "Ah Nan, just wait a few more days for me. Wait until I’ve had a good talk with Mrs. Cheng, and after President Cheng returns from abroad.

I’ll arrange a meeting for you. You’ll definitely be able to strike up a successful partnership when that time comes."

After hearing what Han Jiangxue said, Shen Zhaonan breathed a sigh of relief, "Alright, I’ll think of something else. You also need to hurry up and arrange for me to meet with President Cheng and Mrs. Cheng."

"Mm."

On Saturday night, Han Jiangxue came back and told Shen Zhaonan that she had gotten Su Xi’s phone number, but these past two days she had been trying to add her on WeChat without any success.

She had also made calls, each of which was answered by Su Xi’s assistant, who consistently said Su Xi was busy and would return her call when she was free.

However, she never got a call back even once.

But Han Jiangxue didn’t plan to tell Shen Zhaonan about this; she intended to find a way to contact Mrs. Cheng herself.

If all else failed, she could still make a personal visit to Jincheng after the recording of the show was over.

...

In a blink of an eye, it was time for the second episode of "Mom’s Companion" to air.

On Friday afternoon, the production team went to the homes of the five celebrity guests.

The broadcast was scheduled for 4 p.m., when the little treasures hadn’t left school yet, and the mothers needed to pick up their little ones.

Netizens who watched the first episode already knew what the format was, and the most number of onlookers were at Ye Zhenzhen’s.

Because Ye Zhenzhen and her son Song Yuchen had performed very well in the first show, expectations for the mother-son pair were the highest this time.

Director Fei, of course, was not going to disappoint the eager netizens.

The camera positions following Ye Zhenzhen were one more than for the other guests.

When the production team had arrived at Ye Zhenzhen’s house, she was already dressed and ready to go pick up Song Yuchen.

Ye Zhenzhen wore a light camel coat that day, her waist-length curly hair tied in a low ponytail at the back of her head, which added a gentle warmth to her already delicate face.

After seeing Ye Zhenzhen, viewers in the live stream started fervently posting comments;

[Here it comes, the variety show I’ve been longing for is finally back!]

[My Zhenzhen is out, the beautiful mama is out!]

[Ever since the first episode, coupled with the recent hot search at night, I really love this woman.]

[Is she going to pick up Xiao Yuchen from school at this time?]

[Ahhh, unmarried me has never picked up a little one from school before. I want to experience it with Zhenzhen...]

After shooting indoors, the production team had Ye Zhenzhen exit the house, and the camera pointed down at the ground, not deliberately capturing the outside environment, a stipulation written into the contract from the first episode.

This time, the show arranged for the cameraman to follow the guest in their own car to pick up Xiao Chen from school.

The rest of the staff followed behind in the production team’s vehicle.

When the car left the Song family’s exceedingly grand courtyard, the cameraman brother started filming again.

He sat in the passenger seat, picked up the camera, and filmed the driver, along with Ye Zhenzhen in the back seat. In fact, the cameraman brother merely wanted to show everyone the detailed process of Ye Zhenzhen picking up the child.

But the camera capturing the driver and inadvertently sweeping over the car emblem on the steering wheel set the live streaming room abuzz;

[Ye Zhenzhen goes out in a Rolls-Royce and even has a personal chauffeur?]

[I heard before that the old man Ye Zhenzhen married had specially provided her with a luxury car and a driver, turns out it’s true.]

[Ahh, I really want to experience the life of a wealthy lady!]

[Pfft, what’s the use, if she isn’t being squeezed out of the film crew by someone with money, if that old man really liked her, why wouldn’t he give her some money to bring into the group herself?]

[Where did this hater come from, can you roll away, please? Our Zhenzhen wasn’t squeezed out, it was a schedule conflict, okay?]

[Pfft! Squeezed out means squeezed out, why make it sound so grandiose.]

[Since we’re talking about bringing in capital to join productions, let’s go see how those who bring in capital pick up their kids.]

Soon, the netizens in Ye Zhenzhen’s live streaming room swarmed into Han Jiangxue’s live stream.

Han Jiangxue personally drove to pick up Shen Yibo, and although her car was also a luxury vehicle, it naturally fell far short of the configuration of a chauffeur plus Rolls-Royce like Ye Zhenzhen’s.

[That’s it? This is the setup for someone bringing capital into the group?]

[Never mind the car being luxurious, shouldn’t there at least be a configuration with a nanny plus yourself?]

[She’s not the one bringing in capital, she just likes to pick up someone else’s leftovers.]

After a round of complaints in Han Jiangxue’s live streaming room, Ye Zhenzhen’s fans quickly retreated before Han Jiangxue’s fans could respond.

This move left the fans who had been squatting in Han Jiangxue’s live streaming room completely dumbfounded.

It was just a sudden influx of more than a hundred thousand viewers and then suddenly all running away, leaving behind a barrage of skeptical comments in the live stream.

...

When Ye Zhenzhen arrived at the school to pick up Song Yuchen, the little guy was very happy. Seeing the cameraman brother who was filming with them, he greeted him excitedly, "Hello Uncle!"

The cameraman brother also smiled back at the little guy.

Shu Siyu trotted over following Song Yuchen, tilting his little head up to ask Ye Zhenzhen, "Auntie, are you taking Xiao Chen to record a show again?"

Ye Zhenzhen squatted down and smiled at Shu Siyu, "Yes, Auntie is taking Xiao Chen to record a show."

Shu Siyu glanced at Song Yuchen, envy filled his dark eyes. He pursed his lips, slightly shyly saying, "Auntie, can you take me with you too, I want to come with you guys."

"No!" Song Yuchen immediately refused.

"Why can’t I go, I’m very well-behaved, and I can help Aunt Zhenzhen take care of you too!" Shu Siyu said, looking every bit the little adult.

"And I can cook for you." Shu Siyu added another sentence.

Song Yuchen pouted, "I don’t need you to take care of me. You can cook, but I can cook now too. I will take care of my mom, she doesn’t need to take care of me."

These past few days, Xiao Chen had been secretly learning to cook from Aunt Li. Now he knew how to stir-fry and it wasn’t a problem to make something simple to eat for himself.

The little guy felt that playing with Shu Siyu was fine, but he absolutely couldn’t let him stay with Ye Zhenzhen, because he always felt that Shu Siyu would try to steal his stepmom!

[Hahaha! This little handsome guy is so cute, he’s really handsome!]

[That must be Xiao Chen’s good friend, look at the way this little cutie looks at Ye Zhenzhen, he seems to really like Zhenzhen!]

[Never mind this little cutie liking Ye Zhenzhen, even I, a 240-month-old baby, like her.]
