The King of Soft Rice in Chinese Entertainment

Chapter 265 In a Good Mood
"You can drop me off here," Yang Mi, sitting in the passenger seat, said, pointing to the roadside.

"Are we at your house?" Xu Jiuyang asked as he turned the steering wheel.

"No, it's at least four or five streets away." Yang Mi shook her head, then sighed and explained, "My mom's tutoring center is nearby, and she's very strict with me. If she sees me getting into a strange man's car on my way home, she'll definitely drag me into this and that and ask me all sorts of questions. The reason I asked you to buy me lottery tickets is because I don't want her to interfere too much. I know what I'm doing."

“Alright,” Xu Jiuyang didn’t ask any more questions. “Then, see you another day, boss.”

"See you another day, call me if you need anything." Yang Mi patted the pager hanging on her waist and got out of the car.

She waved again, watched him start the car and disappear at the intersection, then breathed a sigh of relief and started walking home.

However, Yang Mi did not go straight home. After walking two streets and looking around, she came to a slightly secluded public phone booth, inserted the card, and picked up the receiver.

"How are things? Is it convenient for you?"

"We got along quite well. He's very easy to talk to. I used football as a topic and even got him to buy lottery tickets."

"It's simulated now. You can buy it if you want. Do you want me to explain?"

"Regarding Rong Xinda's breach of contract penalty, I might need your help to negotiate. It would be best if we could avoid paying it, after all, I even fought for the role of Zhong Ling myself."

"Also, help me gather information about Wang Ou. We need to sign a few actors to make our image more presentable."

"Besides that, we also need to keep an eye on Zhao Liying. I'll make sure she can only be my assistant from now on, not only obediently letting me control her, but also thanking me!"

After hanging up the phone, Yang Mi let out another long breath, feeling even more open-minded. Indeed, money gives people courage.

The lottery draw is expected to take place around July 2nd. If all goes well, she should win at least a million. Once she gets it, although it won't be like a dragon soaring into the deep sea, it will give her enough confidence.

Moreover, having had the experience of buying lottery tickets together, his perception of her should be much better. As long as she knows the right balance between treating him like a buddy and a best friend, she can remain in an invincible position for the time being.

Then, it was her chance to step into the front desk!
Taking a deep breath, Yang Mi controlled her emotions. She couldn't panic, she couldn't act rashly, she had to stay calm and find the right opportunity.

After repeatedly reminding herself of this, she started walking home, pondering how to discipline Wang Ou and Zhao Liying.

She didn't harbor much hostility towards them. Two years after obtaining the system, she could distinguish between her real self and her simulated self. Whatever their connection to her had, it hadn't happened in reality yet.

However, although Liu Qianqian did not say it explicitly, Yang Mi could infer from the various retellings that the system holders were using some methods to win over that man.

Since I'm going to be at the forefront, I'll definitely need to follow along, so it's not unreasonable to start preparing now.

The reason I chose those two was because I had a grudge against them, and there was a very good reason for me to ask Liu Qianqian to help me get them over—if she could simulate my situation.

Of course, Yang Mi does not deny that doing so makes her happy, especially since Zhao Liying, who should have been her mortal enemy, has become her loyal dog in the end, which is a wonderful thing.

She wasn't worried at all about not being able to do it. She had had the skill for a while now, and it worked perfectly except when she was in front of Xu Jiuyang or people like Liu Qianqian who had a system.

During this period, her monthly allowance increased significantly, although it was still a drop in the bucket.

"I really hope I can build my own team," Yang Mi said with a soft hum, the slight upturn of her lips revealing her good mood.

Liu Qianqian was also in a good mood.

"Yangyang, your dad is so handsome! I finally saw him in person today. No wonder he's so charming to Mommy!" Liu Qianqian teased her younger sister with a toy. The little girl reached out several times but couldn't reach him, so she got angry and immediately wobbled away to the other side.

"I'm talking to you, Yangyang. Don't you want to see your dad?" Liu Qianqian chuckled and stood in front of her younger sister.

"Tao... Tao Yan!" The unhappy little dumpling reached out to hit her older sister.

Liu Qianqian immediately cried out and fell to the ground, putting on a dramatic performance and wailing, "It hurts! You're so mean! You hit my sister! Waaaaah..."

The little girl was at a loss. Watching her older sister rolling around on the ground, she pouted and immediately started crying too.

Liu Qianqian, who was still acting, quickly jumped up, hugged the little dumpling, and comforted her: "Oh, sister is all better, sister is all better, sister is okay, sister doesn't hurt anymore."

Fortunately, Yangyang stopped after a few attempts to coax him, but his mouth was still pouting, making him look very aggrieved.

Liu Qianqian breathed a sigh of relief. Although her mother wasn't here, if the nanny saw her, she would still talk to her, and then she would be nagged for a long time.

"Okay, okay, I was just teasing you. Why did you start crying so suddenly?" She pinched the little dumpling's cheek.

It was so chubby and felt wonderful to the touch. Coupled with its pitiful appearance, she couldn't help but want to rub it a few more times and make the little guy cry a couple of times.

No, no, Liu Qianqian, no matter what, this is your sister, and she's so cute. How can you make her cry? A little angel popped out from the left side of her head.

So what? She's so cute, she should cry. If I don't make her cry now, I don't believe I'll ever do it again! A little devil popped out from the right side of her head.

Just as she was struggling with her inner conflict, a fluffy panda plush toy was handed to her, making her pause for a few seconds.

Although the little dumpling sitting on the ground had a timid look in her eyes and a pout, she still tried her best to put the toys she had grabbed into her sister's arms.

In an instant, the little angel triumphed over the little devil, and Liu Qianqian hugged her little sister and showered her with kisses: "So Yangyang, so Yangyang!"

"Jie... Jie Jie!" the little dumpling called out, shaking her head as if she couldn't handle her sister's enthusiasm.

"Alright, alright, I won't tease you anymore today. Don't worry, if your dad doesn't acknowledge you, I'll take care of him later!" Liu Qianqian said, raising her arm as if she were a strongwoman.

Although she quickly frowned, feeling that what she was doing might be a little inappropriate, she immediately put it aside. Who would care about such things in front of their sister?

"Take care of him! Take care of him!" The little dumpling finally cheered up, so much so that he pronounced those three words clearly and distinctly.

Liu Qianqian, who was also in a great mood, played with her younger sister for a while before carrying her out and handing her back to the nanny.

"A big reason why I act so silly in many simulations is that I didn't have a younger sister to accompany me as I grew up!" the girl said confidently as she walked downstairs.

After all, puppies and kittens are no match for a little sister, and she doesn't need to be taken care of anyway. As for the fact that a little sister won't be fun when she grows up... well, she's not grown up yet.

Despite her growth, Liu Qianqian still habitually makes excuses for some of the simulated situations she encounters, which is only human nature.

Soon, she arrived at the small living room on the first floor and glanced out the window towards the garden. Her mother seemed to be still chatting with the aunties, so she didn't have a chance to discuss with her the various events of her face-to-face meeting with that man earlier that day.

However… perhaps I should also have people who completely obey my orders? Looking at her mother chatting and laughing outside, and recalling Yang Mi’s various behaviors, Liu Qianqian couldn’t help but have this thought.
