How to capture the evil villain? I choose to be his mother!

Chapter 435 The Most Disliked Actress's Mother in the Entertainment Industry (47)
The show's staff didn't burst out laughing, they were just a little confused.

After all... this was the first time in their lives they had experienced the feeling of becoming an overnight sensation.

Previously, advertising sponsorships that couldn't be secured even with begging and pleading are now being lined up to call and offer money;
Previously, live streaming platforms couldn't negotiate good revenue sharing, but now they're begging them to join.

The TV station that couldn't reach an agreement before is now having its leaders come to them to seek cooperation.
The guests who were initially uninterested are now asking if another group can be added.
……

Most of their team members are veterans who have worked with the director for many years.

People in the entertainment industry tend to have a rather laid-back attitude.

The shows he made were all highly praised, but not very commercially successful.

So over the years, the entire team has remained relatively unknown and marginalized within the industry.

The director had wanted to create a family-oriented variety show for a long time.

However, Zhu Wen's initiative to call and ask to participate in the variety show "Mother and Daughter Together" was unexpected by everyone.

The subsequent aftermath of this sudden surge in popularity was something the entire team, including the director, had never anticipated.

"Tell the director that we don't lack funds for the upcoming filming."

"Then can we switch from the old green trains to high-speed trains?"

"Don't even mention high-speed rail, we could charter a plane for our entire team without any problem!"

"Oh my god, the ads are everywhere! This is my first time going from being a client to a service provider, I'm so nervous, what should I do?"

Suddenly I couldn't bring myself to complain about Zhu Wen; she's our Goddess of Wealth, after all.

"Ahem, I also think Sister Zhu is a pretty good person, at least she's quite humble!"

"You really can't believe all the rumors online; you have to see the results from actual contact!"

"..."

The staff who were previously unfriendly to Zhu Wen are now all kneeling down in gratitude.

Everyone was overjoyed, especially when the director announced that everyone's bonus for this month would be doubled!
Self-interest is the most real thing.

On the contrary, those unfounded rumors on the internet are the real illusions and unrealistic things!
This made them treat Zhu Wen with even more care and kindness during the subsequent filming.

Zhu Wen was unaware of these intangible changes.

She took the camera and wandered around Xie Ji's study a few times.

Xie Ji loves reading.

The first-floor study, which connects to the outdoor garden, not only has a full wall of floor-to-ceiling windows, but also bookshelves that reach the ceiling and are as well-stocked as a small library!
Have you read all the books here?

Zhu Wen seemed to have forgotten that they were there to film, and earnestly asked Xie Ji a question.

Xie Ji glanced at her nervously and answered honestly:
"I've read two-thirds of it, and the remaining third is in my reading plan."

Zhu Wen walked past the bookshelf and saw that it contained not only Chinese books, but also English, French... and even obscure Latin books.

Xie Ji followed closely beside her, talking eloquently about the origins of each book.

He has an exceptionally good memory and knows the contents of every book like the back of his hand.

Zhu Wen listened attentively and occasionally asked questions.

This made Xie Ji even more talkative.

The two were immersed in a world that no one else could interfere with.

They themselves probably enjoyed it, but to others it was rather dull and boring.

Xie Huan couldn't help but yawn, and then whispered to Zhai Ling:
"Oh my god, Aunt Zhu is so good to my uncle! How did she even listen to such boring stuff? I almost fell asleep after just a few words!" Xie Huan didn't inherit her uncle's high intelligence and wasn't interested in reading. Getting into an Ivy League school was the limit of her life, but for Xie Ji, it was just the beginning.

The difference between people!
Zhai Ling is no better than Xie Huan.

Zhai Ling, who had never even attended university, also had listless eyes and was overcome with drowsiness several times.

But remembering that they were recording a show, she tried to cheer herself up and glanced at Zhu Wen's expression:
"However... judging from Mom's expression, she seems genuinely interested."

Xie Huan nodded and muttered to himself:
"That's true. Knowing Aunt Zhu's temperament, if she wasn't interested in this kind of thing, she would definitely turn around and leave! Wow, so my uncle has finally found someone who's on the same wavelength as him? That's not easy!"

The two young girls kept whispering to each other.

They seemed to have forgotten that they were still recording a show, and Zhai Ling had a microphone clipped to her body.

"I can't hold it in anymore! I want peanuts!"

[Hehehe, I want more of these whispered sweet nothings from my girlfriends!]

[“With Aunt Zhu’s temper”? That sentence has a deeper meaning. Could you elaborate?]

[They probably forgot they were filming a show, haha, otherwise they wouldn't have said so much without thinking!]

Could it be an act?

[Screw your acting! Can't you live without constantly speculating about others? Do you think Xie Ji is the type to play along?]

[That's right, the atmosphere between the two can't be faked; it's genuinely natural and intimate. Seeing them together, I understand why they were able to get together—it's a resonance of souls!]

[Wasn't it said that this Sister Zhu was uneducated and dropped out of school early to get married? How come I think her speech and demeanor are quite remarkable, and she can even discuss classical philosophy with Xie Ji!]

These are all online rumors. As for the truth... all truths can only be called truths at the moment they occur. Let's not think about the rest.

[Hahaha, Xie Huan and Zhai Ling finally couldn't stand it anymore and sneaked away... Wait a minute! Don't switch the camera like that! I want to keep watching!]

……

After discussing it, Xie Huan and Zhai Ling happily decided to leave Zhu Wen and Xie Ji behind and go have dessert.

The camera then followed the two to Xie Ji's kitchen.

Having already experienced so many shocks, the size of the kitchen and the presence of chefs were no longer enough to surprise the audience.

People even set up a virtual ordering system, experiencing what it's like to be served like a tycoon.

Xie Huan and Zhai Ling enjoyed their meal very much.

After the two chatted for a while, Zhu Wen and Xie Ji came out of the study one after the other.

Xie Ji spoke first:
"Xiaoling, your mother is asking about the schedule for later."

Zhai Ling slowly ate her ice cream, then looked up, her face blank.
What itinerary?

Xie Ji remained suspiciously silent for a long while:
"...Aren't you recording a TV show?"

Zhai Ling's relaxed expression froze instantly.

Xie Huan, standing next to her, wasn't much better off.

Seeing this, what else does Zhu Wen not know?

She found it amusing, but didn't forget to offer comfort:
"It's okay, we won't be able to get any good shots anyway."

Xie Huan and Zhai Ling exchanged a glance.

They were both too relaxed just now, they were just chatting casually.

They were talking about...entertainment gossip all the time!
