Overnight Hit: Vicious Stepmother and Genius Son
Chapter 320 Exchange?

Chapter 320: Chapter 320 Exchange?

Ye Zhenzhen looked at these comments, a mocking smile floating on the corners of her lips. The person who was universally derided online had shifted from her to Han Jiangxue. Indeed, the turnaround was astoundingly swift.

When Ye Zhenzhen arrived at the company, Yu Lili was waiting at the entrance to greet her, "Sister Zhenzhen, you’re here!"

The young girl’s face beamed with joy as she hurried over to take the bag from Ye Zhenzhen’s hand and continued, "Sister Zhenzhen, have you had lunch? If not, I’ll go buy some for you."

Liu Rui had just informed her that Sister Zhenzhen would soon be arriving at the company, so she watched the time and came down early to wait.

Ye Zhenzhen patted the young girl’s arm, "I’ve eaten, what about you?"

She hadn’t seen Yu Lili for quite a few days; after coming back from the children’s variety show, she wanted to meet with her at home, but their schedules never aligned. They could only communicate via phone or WeChat.

Yu Lili nodded, "I’ve eaten too. Sister Zhenzhen, while you were away from the company these past few days, I did background checks on some of the more famous advertisers, following Sister Huahua’s instructions. Take a look later and see if we want to take them on."

"Alright, you’ve worked hard. From the way you are talking, you must have learned quite a lot recently?" Ye Zhenzhen said with a gentle smile, looking at Yu Lili as if she was her own younger sister.

Yu Lili, linking arms with Ye Zhenzhen, walked towards the company while speaking, "Yes, Sister Huahua had Xiao Ruan mentor me. Xiao Ruan has been really nice to me, teaching me everything and being extremely patient, it’s just that..."

At this point, Yu Lili whispered into Ye Zhenzhen’s ear in a very soft voice, "It’s just that Shao Qiqi, she is truly revolting. Never mind, Sister Zhenzhen, I won’t complain to you. Don’t worry, I will definitely help you filter out the bad ones."

Shao Qiqi often gave her a hard time when no one else was around, even saying in her presence that Jiang Lu was the company’s top lady, that following Sister Zhenzhen would lead her nowhere and she had better think carefully—if she couldn’t do well, she might as well leave early...

Yu Lili saw right through Shao Qiqi’s intentions—she just wanted to become Sister Zhenzhen’s assistant and was trying to squeeze her out at every opportunity.

Such childish tactics were certainly not worth mentioning to Sister Zhenzhen.

Ye Zhenzhen let out a light laugh, "Talk less of such things in the future, but if anyone bullies you, you know what to do, right?"

Yu Lili snorted, "Of course, you can count on me. Those rotten fishes can’t bully me!"

"That’s good to hear."

The two took the elevator up. Just as the elevator doors were about to close, a voice called out, "Wait a moment!"

A slender, fair hand pried the elevator doors apart, and Jiang Lu entered from outside. Catching sight of Ye Zhenzhen, a look of surprise flitted across her face, sensing that Ye Zhenzhen had changed quite a bit.

It was the same person, yet she seemed to carry more presence and looked stunningly beautiful.

"Indeed, fame has caught up with you. Nowadays, even seeing you at the company isn’t easy," Jiang Lu remarked.

Their encounters were still devoid of any pleasantries.

Ye Zhenzhen stared at Jiang Lu for a few seconds. She was tall and slender, exceptionally attractive, with chestnut-colored medium-length hair and a raspy voice, quite distinctive.

Her beautiful eyes curved into a smile as she replied, "It’s because Sister Zhenzhen has been too busy. I frequently visit the company, so it’s normal if you haven’t seen me."

As for Jiang Lu, the memories Ye Zhenzhen had of her were not bad.

Although the original owner had some disputes and misunderstandings with her, Jiang Lu was still a person of sound principles. It seemed that once, during filming, when a male actor from the crew spoke ill of the original owner behind her back, Jiang Lu secretly pulled the original owner aside and slapped the male actor, leaving him completely stunned.

Latter, when Jiang Lu had scenes with that male actor on set, she took the initiative to ask the director to replace him and openly said in front of everyone that the male actor was both a poor actor and a terrible person.

As the lead actress, whatever Jiang Lu said naturally carried weight with the director, so the male supporting actor was replaced just like that.

After the male actor was replaced, he deliberately claimed in a live broadcast that it was the original owners fault, saying that the original owner had stirred up trouble with Jiang Lu, leading to misunderstandings about him. As a result, the original owner also became implicated. Already not very popular, she gained even more haters.

Because of this incident, the original owner later would speak sarcastically to Jiang Lu whenever they met, and Jiang Lu, thinking that the original owner did not appreciate her efforts, couldn’t be bothered to say much to her. Naturally, their conversations lacked any kindness, and their encounters were always filled with sharp exchanges and snide remarks.

As for the descriptor "sarcastic and spiteful," aside from being used by haters, Jiang Lu would also often mock the original owner, claiming she was not only sharp-tongued and nasty but also brainless...

Now that Ye Zhenzhen thought about it, she had to admit that the original owner really wasn’t very smart.

Jiang Lu arched an eyebrow and glanced sideways at Ye Zhenzhen, asking, "I heard you are a shareholder of Chenguang? Can you get an invitation? If you can, I can help you secure a gown from ALS for the evening event."

Since she was asking for a favor, naturally, she had to show some sincerity—this was Jiang Lu’s principle in life.

Her impression of Ye Zhenzhen was still based on past images, and although recent online comments about her had improved, she had noticed and wondered if Ye Zhenzhen had finally wised up.

Yu Lili’s face flashed with excitement when she heard Jiang Lu mention ALS’s evening gowns. She tugged at Ye Zhenzhen’s sleeve and winked at her.

Lately, she had learned a lot about fashion brands through Xiao Ruan. ALS was a renowned high-end luxury brand whose dresses were sold only to the top echelons of society. Some celebrities could offer money, yet the brand might still refuse to sell, choosing instead to lend out dresses based on the celebrities’ status.

And since Jiang Lu knew ALS’s chief designer quite well, borrowing an ALS gown for her would be easy. Yu Lili found this offer quite tempting.

Ye Zhenzhen took her bag from Yu Lili, retrieved an invitation, and handed it to Jiang Lu, "Then, thank you, Sister Zhenzhen."

The offer was a good one, and she had no reason to refuse, especially since she had already prepared an invitation for Jiang Lu.

Jiang Lu’s right eyebrow quirked up; she hadn’t expected Ye Zhenzhen to be so straightforward. As she reached out, hesitating, she asked with a teasing tone, "You’re giving this to me just like that?"

By that time, the elevator had arrived. While walking, Ye Zhenzhen remarked, "If you don’t want it, you can give it back to me."

Jiang Lu laughed, "Of course, I want it. I heard about your donation for a school. If possible, I have some money and would like to help in some way."

"You have an invitation, don’t you? At the event, do as you wish—you can contribute as much as you like. As for the school, I think there’s not just Yangping Village in the mountains. Many other places need schools..."
