You Lifen eagerly persuaded An Junxi, "You and President Gu just need to guest star for half an hour. It will be a great boost for Zhi Zhi. The popularity will be off the charts!"
An Junxi nervously ate so fruit, "I’ve already been very generous by launching a reality show for her. Now you want to guest star? What sense does that make? No other variety shows have such a setup."
"Precisely because others don’t that we can be so sure of success," You Lifen, disregarding everything for Zhi Zhi’s lifelong happiness, explained to An Junxi, "Yang Chenmin always uses company rules to make things difficult for Zhi Zhi, not allowing her to date, prohibiting this and that, managing her stricter than a father. He only sees profits and doesn’t consider his sister’s lifelong happiness. If she didn’t like anyone, it would be another matter, but now she likes soone, and he’s still so rciless. Only you can stand up to him."
"Stand up to what? We’re all colleagues in the sa company; it’s not a war."
"I am not exaggerating. Zhi Zhi’s happiness is in the hands of you, the president’s wife. Outside, they all say she’s a superstar, but only we know how strictly artists are restricted, far from the glamorous appearance."
"From what you’re saying, our Wanling Entertainnt is mistreating Zhi Zhi?"
You Lifen slapped her own mouth, "I speak without thinking. It was just a taphor. Zhi Zhi has Yang Chenmin supporting her, which is good, but the other female artists..."
She shook her head and stopped talking, unable to express it all.
An Junxi understood what You Lifen was trying to say; the entertainnt circle is deep and not easily explained in a few words.
You Lifen made one last effort, "This show is not just for Zhi Zhi. If the planning and promotion are done well, it will still reflect on Wanling Entertainnt’s achievents."
An Junxi was tempted. She also wanted to do sothing notable at Wanling Entertainnt to eventually take charge of it herself.
It wasn’t that she didn’t trust Yang Chenmin; she didn’t trust the female artists below.
Wanling Entertainnt’s office was in the Gu Building, and Gu Yikun entered and exited the headquarters every day, always attracting restless won trying to catch President Gu’s eye.
An Junxi had gone to work with her husband several tis, and there were quite a few seductive won lingering around the president’s exclusive elevator.
She was a woman; how could she not understand other won’s thoughts? Even though Yikun was very loyal to their marriage, she still needed to act, to make sure no one thought the president’s wife was a pushover. The lessons from mistresses taking over, like He Sirui, were negative examples.
An Junxi hid her little thoughts well. She had selfish reasons for entering Wanling Entertainnt.
She said, "I can’t guarantee Yikun will appear on cara; it’s hard enough to invite him to a talk show, let alone a variety show. It would degrade him."
The words cut You Lifen to the heart, "Yes, your husband is noble. How could he lower himself to appear in a variety show with us ordinary folks? I was dreaming. Fine."
An Junxi laughed awkwardly, "That’s not what I ant. His work schedule is too busy. I’ll try my best."
Seeing An Junxi’s lack of enthusiasm, You Lifen had a flash of inspiration and used another reason to persuade her, "If you and President Gu appear together and show affection, those won eyeing your husband wouldn’t dare to overestimate themselves. It’s a great chance to assert your dominance!"
An Junxi froze, how hadn’t she thought of that?
"But... would it be too high-profile? I’m afraid my mother-in-law abroad might be displeased."
"Is this high-profile? You haven’t been to a Mingfang Association banquet for too long. You haven’t seen what high-profile really is. You’re the most low-profile now, Mrs. Gu."
You Lifen said, "I went to the Mingfang Association last week. Those gossiping won are really..."
An Junxi nudged her, "Be mindful. The child is here. Don’t let the kid learn bad things."
You Lifen glanced at Ai Xi playing with dolls nearby and lowered her voice, "Those gossiping won are ruthless, saying you’re not like soone from high society, claiming your marriage with President Gu won’t last long."
An Junxi sneered, "So what qualifies as high society? Eating, drinking, grooming, playing cards, and attending banquets all day? That’s high society?"
"Those people are shallow. We shouldn’t take them seriously."
An Junxi suddenly made a decision, "I will contact the director to plan the reality show. Does Youli Entertainnt have any artists they want to promote? We can include them."
You Lifen was moved to tears, "Junxi, you’re so kind. I do have two artists who need exposure."
An Junxi gave her a sideways look, "No wonder, you wanted to ride the wave."
You Lifen shalessly laughed, "We should keep it within our circle. Our two companies have been partners for years."
