Overnight Hit: Vicious Stepmother and Genius Son
Chapter 554 - 551

Chapter 554: 551

Over the weekend, because of Ye Zhenzhen’s daily life was captured by entertainment reporters and fans, many places she visited and foods she bought became instantly popular.

The fried chicken restaurant she went to on Saturday was already quite busy, and business boomed even more afterward. The same was true for the bookstore, not to mention the imported supermarket she visited on Sunday.

The hottest item by far was a new brand of beef canned food from Huifeng Food that Ye Zhenzhen and Xiao Chen had taken. Once this product hit the hot search, it immediately sold out.

Furthermore, due to Ye Zhenzhen’s personal influence, the product received overwhelmingly positive reviews.

Shu Huaiqing had originally been playing soccer with Shu Siyu in the garden; however, he received a call from the company secretary in the afternoon and after getting a brief on the situation, he looked at his son with eyes brimming with excitement.

Before the call, he had just heard from his son that he had brought sandwiches made with the new product to Song Yuchen on Wednesday, and Song Yuchen said they were delicious.

This product had just launched, but because it was made with superior ingredients and manufacturing was strenuous, it was priced quite high. Its sales were not good in regular supermarkets, but were slightly better in imported supermarkets, where it could be compared with other high-priced goods.

He had thought that the company’s new product, painstakingly developed, might quickly see a price slash due to the high cost. Unexpectedly, it had become inexplicably popular, thanks to Song Yuchen and Ye Zhenzhen.

After hanging up the phone, Shu Huaiqing excitedly started browsing Weibo to see the hot searches and the comments from netizens that the secretary mentioned;

"Rich people really do have good taste, huh? This beef canned food tastes amazing. I need to buy a few boxes to take with me on business trips."

"If I eat this canned food, can I become as beautiful as Sister Zhenzhen and find a rich and handsome husband like hers? Buy, buy, buy~"

"In my lifetime, I can also taste the same ’Rourou’ the president has eaten seems not bad at all. We can afford what rich people eat too, huh."

"Do you guys think this is a business warfare script? Do people at the level of Ye Zhenzhen and President Song really go to supermarkets? And would they eat such canned food?"

"Who cares about business warfare or scripts? I’ve never eaten this or seen it before, but today I know about it because of Sister Zhenzhen. Aside from the price, the taste is really good it’s the real deal!"

After reading everyone’s positive reviews of the new product, Shu Huaiqing’s gratitude and appreciation for Ye Zhenzhen grew even further. In fact, he had initially considered asking Ye Zhenzhen to endorse the product, but he shrank back at the thought of Song Jinze’s face.

After all, besides being a celebrity, Ye Zhenzhen was indeed the wife of Huanya’s president, and he didn’t dare to presume too much.

Now, through his son’s connection, Song Yuchen got to know the product, who even took President Song and his wife to the supermarket. It was like having a free endorsement and publicity opportunity. Just those photos on the hot search were worth not just tens but possibly hundreds of millions.

"Dad, you promised to play soccer with me over the weekend, why are you busy with work again?" Shu Siyu complained somewhat dissatisfied.

Shu Huaiqing quickly put down his phone and went to twirl his son in his arms, "Okay, I will play with you today, you’re really Dad’s lucky star!"

...

However, Ye Zhenzhen’s family of three had to opt for a less crowded members-only restaurant due to having their schedule exposed by fans who recognized them.

After lunch, Ye Zhenzhen asked Song Yuchen where else he wanted to go?

With shopping malls and crowded amusement parks almost out of the question, the little guy, keeping in mind that Ye Zhenzhen wasn’t feeling very well, suggested they go watch a movie.

But even movie theaters were almost full over the weekend in the end, Ye Zhenzhen proposed, "How about we watch a movie at home instead?"

They had bought some snacks, and there was a small cinema at home; with Aunt Li making some drinks, it would be quite cozy.

Song Yuchen nodded excitedly, "Yes! Very much so!"

On the way back, there was a bit of traffic, and Xiao Chen got tired and fell asleep in Ye Zhenzhen’s arms. She turned her head and glanced at the handsome face of the man beside her and asked, "The issue with Fu Shinuan from our crew, was it you who took care of it?"

Song Jinze turned his head and looked at her with gentle eyes, nodding before he took Xiao Chen into his arms from her embrace, laying the little one on his legs to sleep so as not to press against her.

"There have been some strange trending searches online recently, claiming that you’ve been replaced. You don’t have to worry about those; I’ll handle them when I get back. An Ying is behind this, she’s a cousin of Gu Liangjun’s wife."

As he said these words, his voice was gentle yet firm, causing an inexplicable tremor in Ye Zhenzhen’s heart.

She had also guessed that it might have been An Ying or Lu Sangning stirring things up behind the scenes, which explained why those searches about her being replaced disappeared so quickly last night. Da Mi was abroad and didn’t have that much time to help her deal with these issues. So it turned out to have been this man all along.

"How did you know about An Ying?"

Why couldn’t it be Lu Sangning? She found it somewhat peculiar.

"Do you remember the paparazzo who took photos of us last time I took you to the set? That person was sent by An Ying. If it wasn’t for her, perhaps I wouldn’t have been able to confirm your true identity so quickly."

Ye Zhenzhen: ...

So that’s how it was?

As she was lost in thought, the man continued, "These people might have just guessed correctly by chance, by analyzing and deducing from your acting skills and some small details in your behavior. Don’t take it too seriously. You are you, and I won’t care about these, so you shouldn’t overthink it, either."

"Thank you!"

Apart from gratitude, she couldn’t think of any other words that better expressed what she felt at that moment.

It just suddenly seemed to her that this man had become more handsome, and very reliable, too.

Song Jinze chuckled, "You’re welcome, Mrs. Song. Like I’ve said before, instead of thanks, I would prefer that you express it through your actions."
