Shen Zhi, with her short legs, leaped and pounced onto Shen Mobai's lap, clinging to his long legs like a koala.

Upon hearing Shen Zhi's soft, sweet voice, Shen Mobai's body reacted faster than his mind, turning around as soon as he heard it.

With a swift movement, he scooped Shen Zhi up and placed her on his arm.

"Zhizhi~ Daddy misses you so much!"

Shen Zhi felt a cool, slightly itchy sensation as the frame of her sunglasses brushed against her. She hugged Shen Mobai's neck and giggled.

"Dad, what brings you here? Where's Mom? Has big brother come?"

As Shen Zhi asked, her little head was already eagerly tilted up to look at the figure she had been longing for.

Shen Mobai smiled indulgently, his large hand supporting Shen Zhi's back:

"Your older brother didn't come; he went to participate in a physics competition. But your mother and grandparents are here; they're over there."

It wasn't until Shen Mobai held this warm and soft body that his unease of the past few days finally subsided.

The man cupped Shen Zhi's small face in his hands, looking her up and down.

"Let Daddy take a good look and see if our Zhizhi has lost weight."

Shen Zhi chuckled, her dimples showing, her voice soft and sweet:

"Daddy, Zhizhi hasn't lost weight! Uncle and Grandma Zhao cook so well, Zhizhi can eat two big bowls! She's even better than Brother Yezi!"

Shen Mobai nodded to Shi Yang in the distance to greet her, then carried Shen Zhi toward a shady spot.

The moment the photographer swept his gaze across the Shen family, the comments section erupted in laughter.

Why would the CEO of Shen's Pharmaceuticals dress like this?

This outfit looks like something a local would wear! Hahaha!

Sorry... I initially thought these guys were big bad guys...

[It's clear that our Zhizhi is very favored. Grandpa Shi's eyes are completely on this granddaughter, and he doesn't even glance at his own son.]

[Our Zhizhi is the darling of the family! Her family cares about her so much, much better than the pampered heiress persona created by the Lu family.]

[I've wanted to say this for a while now. The internet is flooded with praise for the Lu family's beloved daughter, but judging from her performance on the show, the Lu family hasn't raised Lu Weiwei very well.]

The Shen and Shi families are both so good-looking!

As soon as Madam Shi saw Shen Zhi, she called her "my darling" and "my precious baby" repeatedly.

While the crew wasn't looking, she secretly slipped the snacks she had brought into Shen Zhi's pocket.

"Zhizhi, are you hungry or tired? Oh dear, Grandma thinks you've gotten so much darker in just two days!"

"If you ask me, it's all because of that brat Shi Yang. Why don't we take Zhizhi back with us?" Old Master Shi suggested.

Shen Zhi did get a bit tanned, but that was because she was so fair-skinned before. Compared to herself, Shen Zhi was still a fair-skinned and adorable girl.

"No, Grandpa!"

Shen Zhi shook her head firmly and corrected her in a childish voice:

"Zhizhi and her uncle have both signed contracts with the director, so they can't give up halfway."

"And Zhizhi is living very well in Yun Village. Grandma Zhao's cooking is delicious. Zhizhi hasn't lost weight. She ate two big bowls of rice last night."

The little girl held up two fingers, showing off a whole row of neat little teeth. It was clear that she was quite proud of being able to eat two big bowls of rice, and she had to brag about it to everyone she met.

She stared wide-eyed, eagerly awaiting a lavish praise from her family.

"But, Zhizhi..."

Grandpa Shi still felt sorry for him and wanted to offer some advice.

Shen Zhi put her hands on her hips, gave a soft hum, and pouted her lips so high they looked like they could hold a pendant:

"Zhizhi can persevere. If Grandpa takes Zhizhi away, Zhizhi will be angry."

"Alright, alright, I won't take you with me. Don't be angry, Zhizhi. Your grandpa doesn't understand."

Madam Shi hugged him tightly, holding him close and whispering and laughing.

Seeing the old man and the young girl united against a common enemy, Grandpa Shi shook his head helplessly and could only hold up a fan to help Shen Zhi cool down.

An hour ago, in the mayor's office of Yun City.

Shen Fuqing received an urgent call from the Ministry of Tourism, informing him that a large number of tourists were preparing to visit Yuncun, located below Yunshi.

Another type of pear from Yuncun has become a viral sensation online, with many celebrities jumping on the bandwagon and scrambling to get their hands on it, making it a new internet-famous fruit.

Shen Fuqing did have plans for tourism-related economic development in his management of Yuncun, but he hadn't had time to implement them yet.

"What exactly is going on?"

The assistant immediately laid out the information he had gathered in front of Shen Fuqing.

"It's a variety show called 'Taking Kids on a Trip,' which is broadcast live."

"Three groups of guests stayed together in the bamboo houses unique to Yun Village. According to the survey, netizens seem to be attracted by the children's comfortable life in the bamboo houses, which is why they want to travel here."

Shen Fuqing stared at the video excerpt several times.

In the video, three children are sitting on a bamboo platform in the courtyard, holding watermelons bigger than their faces, and happily eating them.

The adults were enjoying the local specialty, Yuncun barbecue, in the courtyard. They wrapped the food in unique wild vegetable leaves and added a slice of sweet and sour pineapple. Just by looking at their expressions, you could tell how delicious it was.

The background sounds are birdsong and flowing water in the mountains.

It's still a bit hot in early autumn, but you don't need to turn on the air conditioner; a palm-leaf fan is enough to keep you comfortable.

Spending too much time in the cubicles of the city, urban dwellers naturally yearn for a life in nature.

Shen Fuqing immediately instructed his subordinates to prepare a car and head to Yun County. He wanted to have a good talk with the county magistrate of Yun County and make sure to help the villagers of Xiayun Village smoothly seize this wave of wealth!

Shen Zhi was held by Grandpa Shi for only a short while.

Suddenly, she spotted two men emanating black smoke moving through the crowd. Their trouser pockets were bulging, as if they were filled with something.

Sure enough, she watched as the two men bought pears and then went to a secluded spot. When they came out again, their trouser pockets were flat.

Most of the pears they held were hollow and black.

Shen Zhi's eyes narrowed, and she immediately realized that this was the person Lu Weiwei and her group had found to frame her.

The little girl touched the jade gourd and then looked away.

Before long, a stone pier appeared at their feet, visible only to Shen Zhi.

"Holy crap—!"

"Wang Jinbao! Are you blind? Why did you trip me up for no reason!"

Wang Jinbao clutched his teeth, his mouth filled with the metallic taste of blood, and his speech became slurred.

"I tripped you? It's all your fault, you little brat! You could fall over even when you're standing perfectly fine!"

Hearing the two cries of pain behind her, Shen Zhi subtly curled the corners of her lips.

When facing Old Master Shi and his group, he always appeared completely harmless.

"Grandpa and Grandma, Mom and Dad, Zhizhi has things to do. See you after we finish recording the show, bye-bye~"

Grandpa Shi reluctantly put Shen Zhi down on the ground and waved goodbye to her with his little hand.

Over there,

Shen Zhi first ran back to get her small medicine bottle, and then went straight to Wang Jinbao and his companion, who were in a somewhat messy state.

"Uncle, I have some painkillers here, do you want some?"

Wang Jinbao covered his face; one of his front teeth had been knocked out, and blood was flowing continuously from his mouth.

There was also a ten-centimeter-long abrasion on his knee, which was bloody and looked quite frightening.

Passersby avoided him and walked around him, but this little baby still came up to him.

"Yes, yes, yes, it hurts so much!"

"Uncle, why don't you go find a small stool to sit on? Zhizhi will spray the medicine on you."

Shen Zhi led the way, while Wang Jinbao was supported by Wang Zhaocai behind her. The latter whispered:

"Isn't this the very place we're trying to frame? Should we play it by ear later?"

Wang Jinbao and his gang took Lu Weiwei's money and planned to cause trouble at Shen Zhi's stall, but they didn't expect to be so unlucky as to fall and break their front teeth.

Wang Jinbao felt uneasy, as if Heaven was punishing his bad intentions.

But the little girl told them that the former mayor of Yun City was her uncle. Although he was the former mayor, it was enough to prove that the girl had an extraordinary status.

If they don't listen to her, they might not be able to survive in Yun Village in the future.

"Uncle, hurry up, the wound needs to be treated as soon as possible."

Shen Zhi stood not far away, looking at them innocently like a little angel.

It was as if Wang Jinbao had been purified; in an instant, all the scheming thoughts in his mind were forced into a corner.

"We'll talk about it later."
