One Can't Judge by Appearance
She is such a good old girl. Why did she become someone elseâs girlfriend and somehow got the title âlittle threeâ? The whole world said she was Yuan Yiâs girlfriend. Did they ask her opinion?
Mom, slap me twice again:Â Xiaoxi Liu, are you stupid? A person carries girls on their backs. Arenât they couples? Are they brothers and sisters?
Xiaoxi Liu:Â Donât you allow others to be kind and generous. If you encounter an injured person on the road, take her to the doctor?
Panda Billowing:Â You are telling a fantasy story. Even if this kind of wealthy son is kind-hearted, he will only spend money to ask someone to carry her. How can he carry that person by himself? They are wealthy, wealthy!
Contra-rebuttals are so reasonable Yan Xi feels that relying on herself, it is impossible to clear up this rumor. She chatted with these well-known bloggers in the group for a while. She was about to turn off the computer when the publishing house editor sent another message.
Mingming:Â Beautiful young lady, why havenât you posted any cute cartoons on Weibo recently? Could it be that you went out with handsome guys?
Xiaoxi Liu:Â What kind of waves? I was injured and hospitalized, and I still havenât recovered yet.
Mingming:Â Oh, what happened? Is there any major problem?
Xiaoxi Liu:Â Fortunately, no disfigurement.
Mingming:Â It doesnât matter whether the face is disfigured or not. The main thing is whether the hands are okay?
Xiaoxi Liu:Â Not very good. My hands are lazy and wonât improve for a while.
The two teased each other for a while and he told her clearly that the book was about to be reprinted because âLittle Monsterâ was selling so well. The manuscript fee would be paid to her according to the contract.
Mingming:Â Your book is selling very well, and the media praised it as a rare and heartwarming work. These results may make some colleagues feel uncomfortable. If someone goes to Weibo to trouble you, try to restrain your emotions and not be caught.
Xiaoxi Liu:Â I see, no problem.
Being asked for trouble by her peers is nothing. She was even in the hot spot today and got the mistress title. Compared with this, anything else is nothing worth mentioning.
Fortunately, the media didnât take pictures of her face. Otherwise, she would be popular all over the Internet and be nailed to the pillar of shame by netizens and cursed at her.
The phone rang, and the caller ID was Yuan Xiaoer. Yan Xi pressed the call button, âIs there something wrong, Yuan Xiaoer?â
âThe ones on the Internet, have you seen them?â
âYeah.â Yan Xi picked at the print on the bed sheet, feeling quite peaceful.
âDonât take those remarks on the Internet to heart, I will deal with them,â Yuan Yi added after hearing that Yan Xiâs tone was normal, âI have arranged for someone to inquire about it, and the media doesnât have a photo of your face. Even if the news canât be suppressed for a while, it will not affect your life and work.â
Hearing what Yuan Yi said so seriously, Yan Xi finally had the shadow of the legendary domineering president. Yan Xi smiled: âAre you not afraid that I will take the opportunity to hype with the media? Telling them that I am the legendary mysterious girlfriend to seek benefits?â
The person who said it didnât take it seriously, and the person who listened naturally knew it was impossible. Yuan Yi even thought that if she really wanted to do this, heâ¦he would probably agree to it.
âAlthough you donât quite fit my aesthetics, I donât suffer from having an extra girlfriend, as long as you are willing.â
âTsk tsk, I donât dare to take advantage of this,â Yan Xi yawned, âIâm a little sleepy, Iâm going to bed first.â
âOkay, good night.â
Yuan Yi hung up the phone and immediately called Assistant Meng again, âHas anyone found out?â
âWho is Wu Xuan?â After listening to Assistant Mengâs explanation on the phone, Yuan Yi said impatiently, âThese artists in the entertainment industry canât have a recognizable name? What Wu Xuan, Zhao Xuan, Wu Yixuan, Zhao Yiyi, who can tell who is who?â
âKill the chicken to make an example to the monkey, and deal with it as you like, lest anyone can make a fuss about my private life in the future.â Yuan Yi said in a cold voice, âWhat do you mean I wonât suffer? I have a girlfriend for no reason. Is it wrong? A womanâs reputation is reputation. The reputation of a man is not a reputation? What age is this? We must pay attention to the equality of men and women.â
Whatâs more⦠That unlucky woman Yan Xiaoxi didnât do anything but was scolded by netizens a lot. Why should she be scolded for nothing?
Zhao Feifei stayed at home anxiously for several days. Her endorsement was not lost, her show invitation was not canceled, and there was no platform to cancel her cooperation. The only things that disappeared were the leaking posts on the Internet. All Weibo public accounts seemed to have amnesia and never mentioned it.
Just when she thought that the Yuan family had put the matter aside, she got a message from her manager that Wu Xuan. Wu Xuan, who was about the same as her, had been a little unlucky recently. The big-name endorsements that were about to arrive flew away, and even the movieâs heroine was taken away by other female artists. Other than that, there is nothing too special. That is, there are fewer and fewer reports about her on the Internet, and even the negative 1 side of 1 news canât be seen.
Sometimes for an artist, the scariest thing is not that there is negative news but that there is less and less news about her, not even negative news. Whatâs the use of an artist without exposure?
Only then did Zhao Feifei realize that Wu Xuan had been buried.
After thinking about this, she trembled with fright. If she hadnât apologized face-to-face this time, would it be possible to be like Wu Xuan? Is even negative 1 face 1 news a luxury?
When Yan Xi returned to work at the TV station, she was warmly received by her colleagues. Xiao Yang even stuffed her with a rose flower, which looked like it had been picked from downstairs. She conveniently put the flowers into the glass bottle, âXiao Yang, although the flowers are beautiful, donât pick them up, you are called vandalism.â
âHow could I do such an unqualified thing? I saw a flower next to the flower bed that others didnât want to throw away. Thinking of you coming to work today, I picked it up,â Xiao Yang said with a smile. âItâs nice to have beauty with flowers.â
Looking at the listless rose flower, Yan Xi pulled it out and returned it to Xiao Yang: âCome on, itâs just right for you.â
âXiaoyan,â Chen Pei strode in, âIs the wound okay?â
âThank you, Sister Chen, for your concern. Iâm almost fine,â Yan Xi saw that Chen Pei seemed to have something to say to her and poured her a glass of water, âSister Chen, please sit down.â
âI still havenât processed the video, you guys talk.â Xiao Yang took the opportunity to put the rose flower back in the glass bottle and left Yan Xiâs office.
After Chen Pei said some polite words to Yan Xi, she turned the topic to work: âBecause both hosts of âNoon Newsâ had accidents, the column team has now reorganized it.â
Yan Xi thought the station was about to revoke her status as a news anchor, so she drank her saliva and did not speak.
âTeacher Zhang Haoâs affairs have been clarified,â Chen Pei said with some regret and sympathy. âHe saw that Xiaolin was diligent and motivated at the time, and he really planned to introduce a job. Xiaolin was raped before she died. She couldnât think about it for a while, so she jumped out of the hotel. Now the suspect has been caught, but because of the influence of public opinion on this matter, the station decided to disqualify Zhang Hao from hosting.â
Yan Xi understands that this treatment method is indeed in the public interest. She can not comment, but how innocent is Teacher Zhang? He kindly wanted to help hardworking and motivated young people, but he was misunderstood and almost lost his life. Although the police have clarified the facts, most netizens donât believe it. They would rather believe in the âtheory of guiltâ than that Teacher Zhang is innocent.
In fact, Teacher Zhang is a small host. What can he do to ask someone to take the blame? Do these netizens really donât know or pretend not to know and continue to maintain their status as righteous people?
Seeing that Yan Xi was unhappy, Chen Pei sighed: âI know you respect Teacher Zhang, but now that the public opinion on the Internet has not stopped, and our station is on the cusp of the storm, you must not make any comments, or you will be punished too.â
Yan Xiâs image is just right, and the satellite channel plans to introduce âThose Things Around Usâ to broadcast at 11 oâclock at night, so this good thing canât be messed up.
âOriginally, the station was looking forward to the revelation of the Yuan Family scandal and love affair, which would suppress the news about Teacher Zhang. Who knew that Yuanâs move was too fast, and all the news was dealt with coldly in less than one night,â Chen Pei said. Itâs a pity, âWhy donât we have more explosive materials?â
Yan Xi thought that if the explosion continued, netizens would know she was the âmysterious girlfriend.â She will be buried to death by public opinion.
âForget it, we wonât mention these things in the future, anyway, the station has its own plans. Iâm here to talk to you about work arrangements so that you can prepare.â Chen Pei glanced at Yan Xi, âThe station decided that in the future, you will host âNoon Newsâ alone, and Teacher Zhang will be the deputy leader of our channelâs news group.â
From the front of the stage to behind the scenes, at any rate, it is better to keep your job than to dismiss the ending. Still, Yan Xi is worried that Teacher Zhangâs mentality will not be able to adjust. He has conscientiously been a host for so many years, not to mention suffering grievances. His work has also been affected. He is the one who has been most wronged.
âWith your ability, I donât believe there will be any major problems in hosting the âNoon Newsâ alone.â Chen Pei saw that Yan Xiâs face was not full of joy, and instead of persuading her, she said, âThere is another thing Iâd like to talk about. I didnât tell you, from next week, every Monday to Friday, the program âThose Things around usâ will be broadcast at eleven oâclock on the satellite channel. Xiao Yan, our program is on satellite tv.â
At eleven oâclock at night, those who usually love to watch TV have gone to bed. Those who havenât slept are playing with computers or mobile phones and have no habit of watching TV. Just like the programs at six or seven in the morning, it is the time to fill up the program list.
But for them, this is simply a mortal ascending to the sky. It is still a fairy, even if it is just an ordinary fairy.
Being on the satellite means that more and more people will watch their shows, not to mention eleven oâclock in the night, even three or four oâclock in the middle of the night, they are happy.
When the director first brought Yan Xi in, she only thought that she was a young lady who came in through the back door. Still, she herself didnât have much hope for the show, so she didnât have the slightest opinion of her. However, what she didnât expect was that this young lady not only has good hosting skills but also is very dedicated. âThose Things Around usâ has firmly established itself in the hearts of local audiences.
One can not judge by appearances. Who knew that this seemingly weak and deceitful little girl would do things so well?
Yan Xiâs work was settled in this way. After her work rhythm returned to the track, she began to think about a problem. Yuan Xiaoer will be moving this weekend. Should she buy a red envelope and stuff cash in it, or is it better to buy a gift?
On Saturday, after finishing the live broadcast of âNoon News,â she left the TV station. She found a famous carving shop to see some auspicious ornaments.
The carvings in this store are produced by masters, and most of the carvings are above five figures, and there is no upper limit. Yan Xi bought two cheesy mahogany carvings, and after packing them up to look tall, she rushed home.
Yan Xi ate dishes without soy sauce and chili at the dinner table and said to Song Hai: âDad, I wonât be eating at home tomorrow. Second young master of the Yuan family moved to a new home and invited me to join in the fun.â
Song Hai : âWhen you were in the hospital, he helped you arrange it so carefully, you really should go when he moves. Tomorrow I will make a red envelope, and you can take it with you.â
âOh,â Yan Xi responded smoothly. Seeing that Song Hai didnât ask anything else, she couldnât help but say, âDad, youâre not curious. How did I know him?â
âI canât wait to find out the origins of all your friends around you and drive all the brats away. But you have grown up.â Song Hai smiled, his chubby face looking very kind, âI donât want to be an autocratic parent. I believe you can handle the relationship around you well. But there is one thing you must remember: if you have suffered any grievances, you must tell me, donât bury it in your heart. Your mother and I raised you so much, not to make you wrong yourself, but to make you happy for the rest of your life.â
Yan Xi felt warm in her heart. She blinked her eyes, which were a little sour: âDad, thank you.â
âWhat kind of thanks do father and daughter say,â Song Hai patted the top of her hair, feeling a little melancholy.
Not long ago, Yan Yan was still a small meat dumpling, and she grew so big in the blink of an eye.
In the morning on the weekend, Zhang Wang was forced to get up and accompany Yuan Yi. It was not until after ten oâclock that he had time to see Yuan Yiâs new home.
âYuan Xiaoer, you live alone in such a big house. Donât you feel empty?â He walked around the villa, âDid you spend a lot of money on this villa?â Regarding the service attitude of the property, he doesnât know how much it will cost. Still, it seems that Yuan Xiaoer is determined to live here.
âI think itâs pretty good. Thereâs a garage, a garden, and a swimming pool,â Yuan Yi glanced at the Boys, who were having fun outside the window, âAfter all, itâs a place to live for a while.â
Zhang Wang was silent. This villa was decorated according to the family style. In Yuan Xiaoerâs heart, did he yearn for a warm and happy family?
Although he has prejudices against love and marriage. Subconsciously, he wants to make up for the lack of his childhood, so he gives himself a swimming pool, lawn, garden, and even a game room.
But no matter how perfectly decorated the house is, how can a house where only one person lives give him what he wants?
When he returned to his senses, Zhang Wang concealed his thoughts with a smile: âWhy did you bring Aunt Li here? Isnât she working with your parents?â
âMaybe itâs because my salary is higher?â Yuan Yi answered casually, looking down at the time. Itâs almost half past ten. Why hasnât that woman Yan Xi come yet?
âDonât look, itâs only past ten oâclock, and itâs not lunch time,â Zhang Wang said angrily when he saw his absent-minded look. âDonât look at your watch anymore. If you look at it again, Iâm afraid it will have multiple holes in it. How many times have you looked at it in the morning?â
Yuan Yi ignored him, got up, and went to the door to look out.
Strangely, he had already greeted the property owner. Yan Xi would not be unable to come in. Could it be that there was something wrong on the road? He took out his cell phone, dialed Yan Xiâs number, and then pressed it off, forgetting it in case she was driving.
It is dangerous to talk on the phone while driving.
Yan Xi parked the car outside the gate of Yuan Yiâs villa and dialed Yuan Yiâs phone: âYuan Xiaoer, open the door for me quickly.â
The gate opened quickly, and as soon as her car stopped, she saw many global limited-edition luxury cars parked in the yard. These luxury cars were shining brightly in the sun, almost blinding her eyes.
âYan Xiaoxi, youâre finally here,â Yuan Yi knocked on the car window outside, âItâs almost noon, and your speed is really fast enough.â
Yan Xi got out of the car with the gift box in her arms, slammed the door, and said to Yuan Yi: âI have dedicated all the benefits of sleeping late on weekends to you, so you can be content.â
Yuan Yi touched his nose and didnât say anything. The words âdedicated to youâ really make people blush.
