Chapter 324: Chapter 324 Punishing Liu Zhiwen
Gu Jinxiu didn’t have any concept of beauty, he touched his little chin, "I don’t know if she is considered beautiful, her personality is alright."
"That’s so profound, give me an example."
Gu Jinxiu thought for a moment and said, "She was the first to tell me that you could be my mommy."
"Oh? Was it when your dad and I first took you to school?"
"Yeah, and she also praised that you are very pretty."
An Junxi immediately liked this little girl, "When should we invite her to our house to play? I’ll make some delicious food for you both."
"She’s a bit talkative, let’s see."
An Junxi said with a smile, "Alright, we’ll see how it goes."
After playing for a while, Ai Xi got tired, so An Junxi coaxed her daughter to sleep, letting Jin Xiu study by himself.
She discussed with her mother-in-law about Jin Xiu going to school, Liang Huiyun was not very agreeable, and An Junxi said, "Jin Xiu also wants to go to school himself, there are peers to play with, it’s better for kids to be with others their age."
Liang Huiyun spoke to her husband about it, Gu Kuangyong did not object, "You want Jun Xi to treat Jin Xiu as her own, yet you don’t allow her to be involved in the child’s education, how does that work?"
Liang Huiyun, having aged and become less forceful, was more accepting of her husband’s opinion, she no longer insisted, and told An Junxi, "You are the mother, you decide."
An Junxi then consulted Gu Yikun, who was always supportive of her, "If you think it’s good, then it’s fine."
An Junxi said, "I’ll contact the school then, when the semester starts, we have to take the child to school together."
Gu Yikun tapped her nose, "No problem, listen to the wife."
An Junxi began arranging Jin Xiu’s return to school, meanwhile, Yang Chenmin told her the set-up at the film set was ready, as soon as she gave the word, they could completely ruin Liu Zhiwen.
An Junxi rubbed her fists, finally, the day had come.
She had Yang Chenmin contact reporters to expose that Liu Zhiwen was acting like a diva on set and suppressing the newcomer Zhi Zhi.
The news came out the next day, there were photos and videos, it caused a huge uproar online, many fans of Liu Zhiwen said they didn’t believe their idol would behave like this, Zhiwen was known for her good relationships in the entertainment circle, how could she act like a diva?
Zhi Zhi’s manager provided a lot of evidence, Liu Zhiwen bullying newcomers on set was not new, many insiders came forward to expose her, stating that Liu Zhiwen was good at pretending to be nice while stabbing people in the back.
An Junxi worried that Zhi Zhi might not handle the reporters, so she met with Zhi Zhi in advance, "If a reporter asks if Liu Zhiwen bullied you, what will you say?"
Zhi Zhi didn’t understand the president’s wife’s point, "There were many communication issues during our scenes, it’s normal for Zhiwen to get angry."
An Junxi held her forehead, Zhi Zhi was truly hopeless, "If you say this, where’s the story? How can it satisfy the audience?"
The silly girl didn’t know how to seize such a good opportunity, An Junxi began to doubt Yang Chenmin’s eye for talent.
Zhi Zhi didn’t know how to respond, so An Junxi had someone call Yang Chenmin over, and in front of Zhi Zhi, asked him, "Why are you grooming Zhi Zhi? Her acting is okay, but in other aspects, she’s not impressive, there are many artists better than her."
Criticized like this, Zhi Zhi didn’t dare to refute, and looked helplessly at Yang Chenmin.
Seeing Zhi Zhi’s lack of progress, Yang Chenmin, knowing he couldn’t hide it from the boss’s wife for long, admitted, "Zhi Zhi is my half-sister, I admit I have personal bias, but she is indeed a malleable artist with much room for improvement, could you give me more time, I will personally train her."
An Junxi was stunned by his words, "Manager Yang, you know very well what kind of industry this is, why would you let your sister step into it?"
Yang Chenmin said, "This is her dream, I’ll look after her, I won’t let her experience anything bad, can you please not tell the president about this? The president definitely won’t be lenient."
Seeing her brother begging for her, Zhi Zhi promised An Junxi, "Mrs. Gu, I will certainly work hard."
An Junxi gave her an extra chance, "So do you know how to deal with reporters?"
Zhi Zhi still looked clueless.
An Junxi’s face turned serious, she dropped her head and tearfully cried, "Sister Zhiwen is very good, it’s my fault for not keeping up, it’s understandable that she hit and scolded me, I won’t take it to heart, I know Sister Zhiwen is under great pressure from her family business issues, it’s hard on all the staff, I hope everyone can be more understanding, I believe Sister Zhiwen will perform this role well..."
Zhi Zhi and Yang Chenmin were both shocked.
When An Junxi got teary-eyed, she retracted her expression and told them, "You have to act like this in front of reporters, reporters and fans like to sympathize with the underdog, understand?"
Zhi Zhi nodded like a pecking chick, "I understand."
Yang Chenmin directly said, "Boss, are you thinking of debuting? This would snatch a lot of people’s rice bowls!"
An Junxi said, "I’d love to debut, but your boss wouldn’t allow it!"
Zhi Zhi went back to practice a bit, she performed very well in front of the reporters, appearing pitifully delicate, even her haters felt compassion.
An Junxi kept an eye on the online buzz, seeing Zhi Zhi had taken the lead, she had Han Jiayi come forward to tear into Liu Zhiwen.
Han Jiayi had been hiding in disgrace for a while, the media couldn’t dig up any news on her, now she appeared at the interview site, the reporters threw many sharp questions at her, and Han Jiayi acted more pitiful than Zhi Zhi.
"The reason I ended up like this was because of Liu Zhiwen, I didn’t dare speak before because I thought no one would believe me, but now seeing Zhi Zhi experiencing the same, I can’t keep quiet, those indecent videos and photos... Liu Zhiwen made me do it!"
"I was blinded for a time, thinking she was kindly introducing me to resources and connections, now I realize her family’s business was about to go bankrupt, she was just using me to earn money and pay off debts, I truly trusted the wrong person, boohoo..."
The reporters were in an uproar, "Her family business is about to go bankrupt? Didn’t they say it was just a cash flow issue, that it would recover soon?"
Another asked, "Did she engage in any improper dealings?"
"Was Zhi Zhi subjected to unspoken rules by investors?"
Han Jiayi continued crying, "Her family business always had problems, besides me, many friends in the industry were betrayed by Liu Zhiwen, she made us accompany investors, we didn’t dare refuse, otherwise, our roles would be replaced, we are really unfortunate."
"Zhi Zhi was bullied on set because she didn’t follow Zhiwen’s arrangements and refused to sell herself, Zhi Zhi has no background, it’s normal for her to be bullied, I personally saw Liu Zhiwen hitting Zhi Zhi in the company, there is video evidence."
