Chapter 11: Yibo Wants Meat

Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Wu Yuerou wasn't really out for a walk. Instead, she dragged An Ruilin to the program team's residence.

When she arrived, Director Fei was scrolling through Weibo. Other than his assistant, Xiao Wen, everyone else had already gotten off work.

Wu Yuerou didn't waste any time talking nonsense. Her tone was a little forceful as she went straight to the point, "Director Fei, what's with the room arrangements?"

Director Fei quickly got up and smiled like a Maitreya Buddha.

"What are you referring to, Ms. Wu?"

"Director Fei, don't pretend with me. I can't stay in Room 1. Think of a way to get Room 5 for me."

Looking at the domineering and arrogant look in Wu Yuerou's eyes, Director Fei's heart turned cold, but he still maintained his signature smile.

"Ms. Wu, we've arranged the rooms and told you beforehand about the best room. The live broadcast cameras filmed it all down. The children drew the tickets themselves."

They had revealed the room arrangements in advance, so how could they blame the director after the child did not choose the red ball?

Moreover, the ones staying in Room 5 were Xu Wanjia and her daughter. Her husband was Yang Honghui, the famous Director Yang in the industry. In the future, there may be many opportunities to interact with him in the industry. Director Fei had no intention of agreeing to Wu Yurou's unreasonable request.

Besides, Wu Yuerou relied on the fact that her husband was the CEO and wanted to get involved in all the variety shows on Lemon TV. The key point was that never mind if she wanted to get involved, but she liked to brag about her CEO husband, wanting to get preferential treatment everywhere. She wanted to play the role of the female lead even though she was in variety shows. Director Fei was annoyed when he thought of this.

Wu Yuerou could tell what Director Fei was trying to imply. She was instantly enraged, "Since you guys said that this room was for me, then you shouldn't have arranged to draw lots. Why didn't you just give me Room 5?!"

"Oh my, Ms. Wu, the netizens these days are all sharp-eyed. If I were to give you the best room directly, wouldn't I be playing favoritism? Would the netizens say that all this was arranged by the CEO? Then wouldn't the TV station and the CEO be the ones who would be troubled in the end?"

"So it's a no, huh?" Wu Yuerou could hear the evasive meaning in Director Fei's words. He was talking nonsense, but his final answer was still no.

Director Fei shook his head, "Don't make things difficult for a small director like me. What variety shows want is reality. Only when it's real will it be something interesting. How about..."

"Alright, just you wait!" Wu Yuerou didn't wait for Director Fei to finish his sentence and pulled An Ruilin away in exasperation.

"Director Fei, did we offend her?" Xiao Wen asked worriedly, "The CEO..."

"We're far away now. Can her CEO husband come? Just work hard. This episode is going to be popular. I'll take you out of this lousy television station."

In any case, Fei Yang was just a small-time director in the station who was not in power at all. Usually, he had to deal with all kinds of connections and was even suppressed by CEO An Hao. He had had enough of it long ago.

After this program became popular, he would resign from the station and go solo.

"Then, Director Fei, should we still give Wu Yuerou the ingredients we specially prepared for her tomorrow morning?"

Before Wu Yuerou arrived, Director Fei had told Xiao Wen to prepare the best ingredients for Wu Yuerou and her son.

Now that he had already offended her, Director Fei believed that it would inevitably make Wu Yuerou feel that he, a small director, was just a pushover if he continued to give her special treatment. He couldn't be bothered to deal with someone like Wu Yuerou who couldn't become famous even after getting the female lead's script.

"No. Let me think about it."

Director Fei looked up at the silent night sky and pondered.

Xiao Wen suggested, "Why don't we give it to Han Jiangxue? Didn't you say that Han Jiangxue would definitely be popular with Ye Zhenzhen as a comparison?"

"No, give it to Ye Zhenzhen."

Director Fei felt that the rumors were different from the Han Jiangxue he saw on camera. The Han Jiangxue on camera always seemed to be putting on an act. Her interaction with her child seemed fine, but it was unnatural.

In contrast, Ye Zhenzhen was not afraid of offending others with her words. She was honest and straightforward. Most importantly, on the first day of the show, she contributed more than half of the trending searches on the variety show. There were more people scolding her than praising her.

Director Fei felt that the more popular an artist was with anti-fans, the easier it was for them to become truly popular. The more the netizens scolded them in the early stages, the more they would like such artists later. It was because of the contrast and guilt.

Therefore, he decided to bet everything on Ye Zhenzhen.

If his variety show had a script, he would let Ye Zhenzhen play the role of the female lead.

When Wu Yuerou returned to the courtyard, everyone had already turned off the lights and gone to bed except for Han Jiangxue.

After Wu Yuerou brought An Ruilin back to the room, she covered the camera and got ready to sleep. However, the more she thought about it, the angrier she became. Thus, she walked out of the room and found the cameraman in the courtyard, asking to borrow his phone to call An Hao.

She called three times in a row, but the other party did not pick up.

Little did she know that An Hao was currently having fun with a young model in a hotel. It hadn't been easy for him to send his wife and child away. An Hao naturally would not miss such a great opportunity to cheat.

He treated the unknown number as someone who wanted to beg him to do something. The other party would naturally call him again during the day.

Meanwhile, in Han Jiangxue's room.

After Shen Yibo finished showering, Han Jiangxue forced him to memorize ancient poems. The netizens in the live broadcast room watched with great interest as they reviewed the ancient poems that they had forgotten.

[Kids met me, but no recognition was shown. They asked me smiling where's my home.]

[When children meet, they don't know each other. They laugh and ask where the guests come from.]

[Only desolation autumn has been known to arouse. I would say autumn day is much better than spring morn.]

[When a crane soars into the blue sky flapping at clouds, my poetic sentiment follows her to high heaven.]

The two poems that Han Jiangxue taught were related to today's show - homecoming and a poem about autumn.

Originally, Han Jiangxue wanted to maintain her image as a loving stepmother in the eyes of the netizens and highlight her responsibility towards her stepson.

This was because she saw that the lights in Ye Zhenzhen's bedroom were already turned off. She wanted the netizens to see that she was different from the latter. Not only did she finish her work during the day, but she also took care of her child's studies at night.

However, Shen Yibo couldn't learn the poems no matter how hard he tried. He recited the poems many many times, but upon memorizing the next line, he would forget the previous line.

For a five-year-old child who usually did not read before going to bed at home, it was just making it difficult for him to ask him to memorize ancient poems out of the blue.

Han Jiangxue finally lost her patience. Suppressing the anger in her chest, she smiled and asked, "Yibo, didn't we just read it? Why did you forget it so quickly? What are you thinking about?"

"Um..." Shen Yibo looked up at the ceiling and thought for a few seconds before replying seriously, "Meat!"

"Huh?" Han Jiangxue did not expect Shen Yibo's reply.

Shen Yibo's face was full of anticipation, "Mommy, I'm thinking about what delicious food we can eat tomorrow morning. Is there meat?"

Han Jiangxue was speechless.

She was speechless. She was completely speechless towards this stepson!

[Hahahaha! I'm dying of laughter, Baby Yibo is so cute!]

[He's as good as me back when I was young. Hahaha, if my mom heard me say that, she would have knocked me on the head with the book.]

[Silly Yibo is so cute. Xiao Xue has a good temper too. She's been teaching for so long, yet she's not impatient at all.]

Seeing that this was not going anywhere, Han Jiangxue gave up and said," Yibo wants to eat meat, huh? Let's sleep now and wake up early tomorrow to see if there's meat in the ingredients, okay?"

"Okay!"
