Overnight Hit: Vicious Stepmother and Genius Son
Chapter 398

Chapter 398: 398

So, Feige understood the situation differently from what he was actually thinking in his heart.

It wasn’t for Ye Zhenzhen’s sake, it was because of that bastard Song Jinze.

The two of them had grown up together since childhood, and they understood each other’s true personalities all too well.

Now, the internet was saying that Song Jinze and Ye Zhenzhen were a "plastic" couple, which to Xiao Yi’s understanding meant that Ye Zhenzhen probably still didn’t like Song Jinze. If the two of them really got together and confessed their feelings, Song Jinze wouldn’t be posting so frequently on his Moments just for his benefit.

Ye Zhenzhen had rejected Xiao Yi, but Song Jinze was still very anxious. They were married now, so there wasn’t much Xiao Yi could do, but he was genuinely looking forward to and wanted to see Song Jinze’s nervous expression...

Just when their conversation had reached a stalemate, Feige received a call from Director Fei. The director on the other end of the phone spoke very earnestly about the very kid’s variety show they had been discussing, "Mom’s Companion."

He mentioned wanting Xiao Yi to participate in the variety show as a guest host and was inquiring about their thoughts on it.

Xiao Yi’s lips curled into a smile, signaling to Feige to agree.

Feige had a complicated expression on his face. What the hell was all this about? They, Xiao Yi, were in the business of acting in movies, and the variety shows they participated in were mostly for movie promotion.

Inviting Xiao Yi to be a guest host on a kid’s variety show?

Seeing Feige still hesitating, Xiao Yi snatched the phone away. Director Fei was introducing the payment for appearing on the show, but he cut the director off, "It’s okay, all good."

He had been fretting about how to find a suitable reason to talk to them, and now Director Fei had come to him so quickly.

A few seconds of silence later, Director Fei asked, "Is this Best Actor Xiao?"

Director Fei glanced at the draft paper in his hand, which was filled with different talking points, wondering how he should respond if Best Actor Xiao’s agent refused like this.

And if he refused like that, how he should respond.

"It’s me, I’m Xiao Yi, Director Fei, you don’t need to introduce anything. I’ll go. You can send the contract to Feige’s email, and if there’s no problem, I’ll sign it."

Feige: ...

He’s gone crazy, this kid is simply out of his mind!

Director Fei: ...

This easy-going, huh?

He had actually prepared for the possibility of being refused after he finished making his case according to the script.

It was almost a bit unbelievable and unconvincing.

Since a new leader took over the station, the atmosphere in various departments had been strange, and he, a young director who had just risen to fame through variety shows, had become a target. Anyone could make trouble for him.

First, they told him to invite Song Jinze to participate in the children’s variety show, and now, seeing that netizens were suggesting Xiao Yi, they said nothing else and told him to contact Xiao Yi.

Before making the call, Director Fei thought he might as well change careers entirely; what kind of pathetic director was he to be pushed around like this.

After the call, Director Fei felt he could do it again—he actually managed to invite the big shot Xiao Yi.

Still, to be cautious, Director Fei asked again, "Best Actor Xiao, may I ask if you have any special requirements for participating in the variety show?"

Xiao Yi laughed and said, "No particular requirements, just here to have fun. Just remember to give me some activities that are relaxing yet make my presence felt."

He spoke very tactfully; he didn’t have children or anything like that. To stand out naturally meant to show his influence.

If he could speak directly, he thought, it would be best if he could deal with that bastard Song Jinze!

After hearing Xiao Yi’s response, Director Fei felt somewhat reassured. The other party wasn’t just teasing him; there were specific requests.

"Alright, Best Actor Xiao, don’t worry. As a guest host, I will definitely make sure your presence is felt," said Director Fei.

Xiao Yi felt that Director Fei understood him, and nodded happily, "Yeah, Director Fei, you’re on the right track. We should definitely work together again when we get the chance."

Director Fei was stunned and quickly responded, "Great! I would love that!"

For Director Fei, who hadn’t had much contact with Xiao Yi, he thought Xiao Yi was too easy to talk to!

...

After Ye Zhenzhen finished her shoot with GK, it was already very late. Yu Lili went to pick up Xiao Chen and then came to take her home.

Xiao Chen came with Yu Lili to find his mother and happened to run into Shen Yibo and Dong Yan.

Today, it was Shen Zhaonan who had picked up Yibo from kindergarten. After getting in the car, Yibo said he missed his mother, so Shen Zhaonan brought him to GK to find Dong Yan.

Just now, Yibo said his backpack had fallen in the car, and it contained the craft he made for his mom. Without a word, Shen Zhaonan went to fetch it.

When Yibo saw Xiao Chen was also here, he couldn’t hide his joy. He had wanted to sleep over at Xiao Chen’s house last Friday night, but halfway there, his dad took him back home.

Because of this, Little Yibo felt so regretful. He really wanted to play with Xiao Chen.

The two little guys, meeting each other, naturally had endless topics to discuss. Yibo invited Xiao Chen to come over and play at his home this weekend, but Xiao Chen shook his head, "I can’t this weekend, I’m going to participate in the kid’s variety show with my dad and mom on Saturday!"

Talking about participating in the kids’ variety show with his dad and mom made Xiao Chen smile happily.

Upon hearing this, Yibo managed to force a smile on his face but sounded very dejected.

"Xiao Chen, I’m so envious of you, being able to go to the variety show with your dad and mom."

Song Yuchen reached out a small hand to pat him, "Yibo, you don’t have to be envious of me. Aren’t you with your dad and mom right now? We’re all the same.

If you want to go to a variety show, you can go with your dad and mom too!"

Yibo shook his head, "My mom said we can’t. She said she and my dad are divorced, so they can’t take me to a variety show together."

"Sorry! I didn’t consider that."

Children always speak so innocently. Little Yi hadn’t taken into account Yibo’s parents’ marital status and had simply thought that since his parents were meeting, they should be together.

When Ye Zhenzhen came out of the dressing room, she saw the two little guys sitting and chatting on a chair.

"Aunt Zhenzhen!" Yibo saw Ye Zhenzhen and immediately called out to her with a smile.

Xiao Chen: "Mom!"

Both little guys ran towards Ye Zhenzhen.

After finishing her talk with the photographer, Dong Yan also came over, reminding the two little ones, "Slow down, you two. The floor is full of props and wires, don’t trip over."

With one hand holding each little guy, Ye Zhenzhen looked at Dong Yan and smiled, "Chairman Dong."

"You’ve worked hard today, Zhenzhen."

"Don’t mention it, it’s all part of the job."

As the two women exchanged pleasantries, Shen Zhaonan came over with Shen Yibo’s backpack.

"Dad!"

Dong Yan saw that besides a backpack, Shen Zhaonan was also holding a bouquet of flowers. She frowned slightly but didn’t say anything.

After Yibo took his backpack, he asked, "Dad, these flowers are so pretty~"
