Chapter 231: Chapter 231 Eat Persimmon!

"Just, just arrived," Secretary Zhang replied truthfully.

Song Jinze asked, "Didn’t you say you had arranged to have a call with Xiao Chen and the reality show’s crew today?"

Secretary Zhang realized, so that was what the President was concerned about!

"President, there’s a time difference between here and home. I told the crew we would call after dinner, which means you could rest for the night, and when you wake up tomorrow morning, you can talk to your wife and Xiao Chen..."

Secretary Zhang hadn’t finished reporting when he heard the wife’s voice coming from the tablet the President was holding;

"Xiao Chen, since Xiao Yi likes persimmons, why don’t we buy some more to give to him after we return to Jiangcheng?"

Song Yuchen shook his head, "The persimmons in Jiangcheng aren’t as delicious as these. I want to bring these persimmons back to give to Brother Yi!"

"This is just a few, it’s a bit shabby to give as gifts. How about we buy more when we return to Jiangcheng? We can buy them by the box! Even in Jiangcheng, we can buy Jincheng’s persimmons, and online shopping is not inconvenient."

Ye Zhenzhen tried to persuade Xiao Chen, hoping the little guy would give up the idea of bringing persimmons back from here to Jiangcheng.

Persimmons, after all, could be bought anywhere, from any production area. There was really no need to go through the trouble of carrying them all the way from here.

The conversation in the live room continued...

Then, Secretary Zhang saw his boss’s face darken considerably, as his wife and Xiao Chen were publicly discussing bringing persimmons back for Xiao Yi on the show, and the President had just happened to catch it...

He really couldn’t keep it a secret even if he wanted to!

With the conversation cut off halfway, he wasn’t sure if he should continue.

In the live broadcast room, Song Yuchen was very adamant, insisting on bringing these large persimmons back to give to Xiao Yi.

Ye Zhenzhen eventually had to compromise...

They would try their best to pack them properly, hoping the persimmons would still be good by the time they brought them back.

After seeing the two come to an agreement and head to the kitchen, Song Jinze turned off the tablet, tossed it on the sofa, and looked up again to ask Secretary Zhang, "What day did you say we’re arriving in Jiangcheng this afternoon?"

Secretary Zhang replied, "Saturday afternoon, by then the madam and Xiao Chen should have finished filming and returned home."

"When are they returning from Jincheng?"

Secretary Zhang: "On Friday."

Song Jinze lifted his hand, and his slender index finger tapped gently against his right forehead. After half a minute, he made up his mind, "Change the plan, we’ll fly to Jincheng on Friday with Cheng Zheng."

Secretary Zhang blinked and asked, "President, the engineering department will be going there, there’s no need for us to go."

With that time, it would be much better to return early and rest.

Song Jinze’s eyes narrowed slightly as he said in a cold voice, "Did I say I am going to Cheng Zheng’s company?"

"Then, what is it?"

This sudden change in travel plans, and the statement about flying to Jincheng, left Secretary Zhang a bit slow on the uptake.

Wait a minute.

Could it be that he’s planning to go pick up the madam and Xiao Chen personally!

Ah, it must be the lack of sleep muddling his brain. Secretary Zhang’s face immediately broke into a professional smile to ease the embarrassment of his slow reaction.

Song Jinze’s thin lips pressed together, and his voice was cool and clear, "We’re going to Jincheng on Friday to eat persimmons."

Secretary Zhang: ...

Eat, eat persimmons? Are the persimmons in Jiangcheng not available, and the ones from Jincheng especially delicious?

And the President’s tone just now, word for word, was obviously through gritted teeth, so, the President was angry...

Song Jinze stood up, "Before 9 a.m. tomorrow, have the call arranged. Don’t make me ask a third time."

"Yes, President."

Has the President asked three times? Wasn’t it always him who asked the President?

...

Jiangcheng.

At Feige company, people saw on Weibo that the matter concerning Xiao Yi and "Mom’s Companion" surged into the trending searches again.

The program itself already had high popularity, and now with Ye Zhenzhen publicly stating on Weibo that she would join Xia Zhi’s movie, the whole internet was @ing Xiao Yi.

Asking him how it feels to be publicly told by fans that he would be brought persimmons to eat.

At the same time, there was also skepticism suggesting that Lemon Channel had collaborated with Xiao Yi and Ye Zhenzhen to stir up popularity.

[What’s this, every time they record a show they have to bring up Best Actor Xiao, surely this is staged with the show’s crew to hype things up!]

[Exactly, is it fun to use our Brother Yi every time to hype the show by association?]

[But you can’t blame the show’s crew for this, it’s more like, can certain female stars have some shame, can they not drag Xiao Yi into everything?]

[Can everyone stop with the conspiracy theories, the one who said he’d bring persimmons to Xiao Yi was Xiao Chen, he’s just a kid, what’s wrong with wanting to share his favorite food with his favorite celebrity?]

[See, up till now, Xiao Yi himself hasn’t spoken up. Last time with the autographed photo incident, Xiao Yi responded immediately, if not to stir up attention.]

[I also think so, this is simply throwing out a bait, deliberately speaking about a nonexistent topic and then exploiting Brother’s fame for promotion.]

Feige understood the whole situation and its potential implications; actually, this matter could be taken lightly or seriously.

If blown out of proportion and misled by others, in the end, neither Xiao Yi, the show’s crew, nor Ye Zhenzhen and her son would benefit.

On a smaller scale, it was just Song Yuchen, a young fan, chasing his star, liking his idol, nothing more.

However, the key to this issue was to have someone involved come forward to clarify, say a word, simply disassociate directly with Lemon Channel.

Just like the autographed photo incident last time.

No matter what the netizens said, as long as Xiao Yi himself spoke up, it could shut most people up.

Feige promptly called Xiao Yi. After several attempts with no answer, he guessed what Xiao Yi was doing at home.

Then he called Hujin and had someone deliver a lunch to Xiao Yi’s apartment, and he himself drove from the company to Xiao Yi’s place.

When Feige arrived at Xiao Yi’s door, he rang the bell and no one opened it, so he directly entered the passcode and went in.

Xiao Yi had played games until 2 in the morning the night before, and hadn’t woken up even by noon.

Busy filming didn’t leave him much time to sleep, and when he wasn’t filming and did have time, he didn’t feel like sleeping at night.

Seeing Xiao Yi was still sleeping, Feige didn’t wake him right away, instead, he sat on the sofa waiting. He used to have the password to Xiao Yi’s Weibo, but lately, that guy had been resting, changed his password at home, and Feige couldn’t log in.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have rushed over here in such a hurry.

He had been sitting on the couch for just a couple of minutes when Xiao Yi came out of the bedroom. Seeing Feige, his face didn’t show much surprise, "What brings you over at this time? To join me for lunch?"

Feige glanced at him, "First check out Weibo, and reply to the messages. Then we can talk about eating. Don’t fucking blame me later for not informing you right away."

Ah, what is it about Ye Zhenzhen that has him so captivated?

The last time Ye Zhenzhen clarified on a live Weibo broadcast, he saw it, but Xiao Yi didn’t know, and he didn’t tell Xiao Yi about it.

In the end, when Xiao Yi found out, he gave Feige a good scolding, saying that if he had stepped forward to help explain, it would have made things a lot easier for Zhenzhen, among other things...
