Overnight Hit: Vicious Stepmother and Genius Son
Chapter 502 - 501

Chapter 502: 501

With Fu Shinuan’s words, everyone’s gaze inadvertently shifted to Ye Zhenzhen.

The look in their eyes was not one of hope that she would treat them, but rather one tinged with sympathy.

This was exactly what Fu Shinuan wanted. Before, Ye Zhenzhen had relied on how glorious Song Jinze was and how much attention she got. From now on, she would be as pathetic and laughable as they came!

They were both on the same starting line, and Ye Zhenzhen wasn’t even as good as her. It was only after Song Jinze announced he was Ye Zhenzhen’s husband that she realized Ye Zhenzhen was just taking advantage of Song Jinze’s connections to steal the female lead from her.

Now, with someone who could suppress Ye Zhenzhen, she felt that Ye Zhenzhen wouldn’t last long in the crew, and the role of the female lead would eventually become hers again.

Ye Zhenzhen smiled faintly, calmly eating her boxed meal and nodding, "On the day of the shoot, I’ll treat everyone in the crew."

Fu Shinuan’s eyes were full of mockery, "Sister Zhenzhen, are you treating us to a meal at Huanya, or just boxed meals?"

Ye Zhenzhen laughed lightly, "Everyone can eat however they like, but let’s not choose boxed meals, they’re too shabby."

Fu Shinuan clenched her teeth. Shabby?

The boxed meals from Huanya Grand Hotel were not something just anyone could buy; the membership fee alone was quite expensive. And Ye Zhenzhen dared to call them shabby?

Upon hearing this, everyone’s eyes instantly filled with anticipation. If they weren’t eating boxed meals, did that mean they were having a feast?

At the same time, the look of contained jealousy and hatred on Fu Shinuan’s face was even more evident as the onlookers savored the drama.

The movie hadn’t even started filming yet, and the lead and supporting actresses had already begun their performance.

Director Yang waved his hands, "Hey, the crew has an opening banquet, Zhenzhen, you don’t need to go to such expense."

It was common for female artists within the crew to be at odds with each other. Director Fei was used to it, and with a heads-up from Producer Wang about Fu Shinuan, he knew to turn a blind eye.

As long as she didn’t cause trouble in the crew and her acting was passable, that was enough for him; he didn’t have many requirements.

As for Ye Zhenzhen, he liked her and, admittedly, wanted to protect her.

Ye Zhenzhen replied, "Director Yang, Nuannuan already mentioned, the hotel belongs to my family. Treating the entire crew to a meal is no big deal for me."

Does it matter who owns the hotel?

As long as you have the money.

As her first leading role in this world, it wasn’t a big deal to treat everyone to a meal. Having strength was one thing, but the way one conducted themselves was another matter entirely.

For her now, demonstrating her ability and maintaining good relations with the crew were both very important.

Director Yang didn’t refuse any further, "Okay, let’s not make a big fuss then. When the time comes, we’ll just have the crew cater a buffet, and we can start work right after we eat."

They had to give face to Ye Zhenzhen, but they also couldn’t let her spend too much. It was really unnecessary.

Feeding so many people from the crew at the Huanya Grand Hotel would cost a fortune.

Liu Rui nodded in agreement, "Alright, on the opening day, how about we invite the Huanya Chef to cook on-site? There’ll be hot and cold dishes, desserts, beverages—everyone can choose whatever they want."

She had already assisted Jiang Lu with this kind of arrangement before and was quite familiar with the process; she would report to Chen Ke in the afternoon and have the company reimburse the expenses.

A buffet at the Huanya Hotel, or even with food cooked on-site by the chef, was naturally well received by everyone.

Fu Shinuan’s right hand gripping the spoon tightened in secret. The Huanya Chef cooking on-site?

Times had changed. Before, Lu Sangning had not returned. Now that Lu Sangning was back in Jiangcheng, she feared that Ye Zhenzhen might not be able to pull it off.

"Then I am looking forward to the opening banquet a great deal!"

She was just waiting to watch the spectacle unfold!

Putting down her utensils, she pulled out her phone and opened the chat labeled Lu Sangning...

Xiao Yi was sitting on the right side of Fu Shinuan and caught a glimpse of the illuminated phone screen by chance. His eyebrows immediately knitted together, and the corners of his lips were filled with disdain and mockery.

...

In the afternoon, the official Weibo of "Mom’s Companion" responded to the follow-up regarding the suspension of the show for three episodes.

The official account stated that there would be an on-site variety show broadcast live on Lemon Channel this Saturday evening, inviting the mothers participating in the program. As for the babies and fathers, it was currently undecided.

Following that was the condition of Gu Liangjun. The program team and An Xi both posted on Weibo, stating that Gu Liangjun was currently hospitalized in Jiangcheng, in good condition, and expected to be discharged tomorrow.

[Why can’t they confirm the dads and the babies? Is it because something happened between Ye Jianjian and her husband? Hahaha]

[That hot search from last night was pulled down swiftly. I think someone is feeling guilty. Otherwise, why can’t the program team confirm inviting the dads and the babies for the live broadcast today?]
