Daddy Always Gets Jealous

Wu Jie, Zhao Yiran’s agent, had never expected that the famous chief editor Shu Ran would be this easy to talk to, completely different from the rumors.

Thinking about it, it was probably because of the Zhao Family.

Yeah, in recent years, Yiran had been sailing with the wind at her back, and even Lu Yi too. The two of them had both climbed up to the top of the Pyramid of the entertainment industry.

"Chief Editor Shu, you name a price."

Hearing Wu Jie, Shu Ran smiled gracefully, her peach blossom eyes shimmering with light. "As expected of the Best Actress’s assistant, you’ve got guts."

Hearing Chief Editor Shu praise her, Wu Jie said, "You’re too kind, Chief Editor Shu."

Shu Ran glanced in Yan Xiaoxi’s direction.

What she hated most were scumbag men and scumbag women, and she’d managed to bump into two in a row.

When she heard Wu Jie call "Chief Editor Shu" again, Shu Ran chuckled. "It’s not great if I’m the one naming a price. How about this: you bid, and keep going until I’m satisfied."

Wu Jie, "How about a hundred thousand?"

Shu Ran sat there without saying a word.

Wu Jie, "..."

It was just a press release, and a hundred thousand was already very high. She was willing to pay a hundred thousand only because of the connection between the Qin Family and the Shu Family.

Shu Ran put her phone aside and put it on silent. Looking at Yan Xiaoxi, she spoke with open contempt. "Xiaoxi, Lu Yi’s just blind, that’s all. With him like that, he doesn’t even deserve to be with you."

Yan Xiaoxi looked at Shu Ran.

Another big, shiny hat slapped onto her head!

If this brainwashing went on, one day she really was going to float away like a balloon.

Shu Ran smiled. "These days you’re on the phone with Mayor Jin every day?"

Yan Xiaoxi glanced at Shu Ran, her face flushing slightly. She lowered her head, tightened her grip on the cup in her hands, stared at the water inside, and exhaled softly. "Yeah."

Looking at her shy, little-girl look, you could tell she was head over heels for Jin Bo.

And Jin Bo—he’d only been in the army for this short stint and had already locked down Xiaoxi. That speed! Worthy of someone from the Warhawk Team.

Being stared at by Shu Ran, Yan Xiaoxi got embarrassed. "Auntie Shu, don’t keep looking at me like that."

Shu Ran laughed, picked up her phone, turned off silent, and immediately heard Wu Jie’s voice.

"How about three hundred thousand?"

Shu Ran smiled. "Sorry, these last few days I haven’t taken on any press release this cheap."

Wu Jie, "..."

Shu Ran said, "My articles, whether for online media or print, are always on the front page, in prime positions. And even the release dates are timed to hit at the most critical moment."

Hearing that, Wu Jie was a bit moved.

On this point, the Zhao Family really wasn’t in a position to step in, and wouldn’t either.

Shu Ran said, "I still have work to do..."

Wu Jie, "Chief Editor Shu, please wait. How about one million?"

Shu Ran let out a light laugh. "I’m not just writing the piece, I’m also bundling the follow-up distribution resources. At that price, at best you’re buying a single day’s top headline."

As soon as she finished, she hung up directly.

Wu Jie, on her side, was torn. She’d originally just wanted to get Chief Editor Shu to write a press release, with a budget of two hundred thousand, and the rest would be handled by the company’s operations.

But after what Chief Editor Shu said, even one million wasn’t enough. She had to go back and discuss it with the company.

She made a call to request instructions from the higher-ups, and they said they’d give her an answer the next day.

————Yunqi Academy————

Shu Ran stirred her coffee. "Xiaoxi, these past few years, has Zhao Yiran not given you any trouble?"

Yan Xiaoxi looked at Shu Ran. "She has."

The two of them kept chatting, and Shu Ran remembered it all.

When Yan Xiaoxi finished talking, she suddenly had this strange illusion that she’d been talking about someone else’s story, as if none of it had anything to do with her.

She was just an insignificant bystander.

She took a sip of coffee and was about to continue speaking when her phone rang.

Her phone just wouldn’t stop ringing today. Seeing it was an unfamiliar number, she picked up, and heard Lu Yi’s assistant’s voice.

"Miss Yan, something’s happened to Lu Yi. Please come see him. Right now, besides you, he won’t listen to anyone."
