The evil stepmother is also doing her best for the motherland today.

Chapter 11
"After dinner, come to the study."

Gu Minzheng completely turned cold and looked at Xu Jingyi with eyes as cold as blades.

In the study, Gu Minzheng was sitting on the office chair, looking across the desk at Xu Jingyi who was sitting opposite him.

After all, she is a person who has not experienced many trials and hardships. Xu Jingyi felt a little uneasy under Gu Minzheng's scrutiny, and finally couldn't help but said:

"What are you looking at me with? Those who didn't know better thought I was going to buy Gu Yi."

The voice became quieter and quieter when Gu Minzheng frowned.

"Not enough money?" Gu Minzheng said in a calm tone.

"No, if Gu Yi didn't say anything, I would have refused. I really have no other intentions, so don't think too much about it."

Xu Jingyi became a little frustrated when faced with Gu Minzheng's suspicion.

"Why do you want to participate in this variety show?"

Hearing Gu Minzheng's words, Xu Jingyi's eyes lit up little by little, and she couldn't wait to explain:

"I wanted to participate in this variety show at first because I thought about the stupid things I had done before, and it was just a chance to repair the relationship with the children."

After saying that, Xu Jingyi paused for a moment and continued to explain: "Of course, there is also a part, really just a small part, because I feel that this matter will also be helpful to my acting career."

As Xu Jingyi spoke, she raised two fingers to make an oath.

After Gu Minzheng listened, he looked at the other person from top to bottom, and the study fell into silence again.

"Forget it, it doesn't matter if you don't believe it."

"I agree."

"What? Did I hear you right?" Xu Jingyi stood up and put her hands on the desk because she was too shocked, leaning forward to look at Gu Minzheng.

Originally, the distance between them was only as wide as two fists, which was obviously beyond the safe distance. Gu Minzheng calmly leaned back to avoid contact between the two.

"You heard wrong."

"No, not at all. I clearly heard you agreed. Then I'll tell Gu Yi."

In order to prevent Gu Minzheng from going back on her word, Xu Jingyi rushed out as if there was a dog chasing her from behind.

In less than three seconds, Xu Jingyi ran back out of breath again, with a smile on her face. Before closing the study door, she quickly shouted: "I knew my husband was the best."

With a "bang" sound, the door was completely closed.

Gu Minzheng raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows. Not to mention, he really regretted it now, and even had a premonition that he might not live too peacefully in the future.

After the agent heard that Xu Jingyi agreed, she sent the entire variety show process to Xu Jingyi.

The next time passed very quickly for Xu Jingyi.

In a blink of an eye, it was time for the first episode of the variety show recording. The director team made a special call to Xu Jingyi the day before.

"Ms. Xu, I believe you understand the general process. I am calling to confirm with you that the live broadcast tomorrow morning will be recorded at the address you gave me?"

"Is there something wrong with this address?" Xu Jingyi asked with some confusion.

"No problem, it's just..."

After the assistant director's tactful reminder, Xu Jingyi finally understood that some people would deliberately find a relatively ordinary place as a shooting location in advance in order not to expose their real residence or real wealth, that is, for the sake of personality.

"Okay, I understand. I will send you another address tonight, thank you." "It's okay."

"Director, how are you? Can you talk to Xu Jingyi? I heard that she is very difficult to serve. She is obviously a top [-], but she ends up acting like a big star every time."

"How are you talking?" The assistant director glared at the assistant next to him.

"If you keep talking nonsense, get out. Don't listen to the wind and the rain. If you want to know, you won't understand when you get here!"

"Okay, assistant director, I understand, there will be no next time." The assistant turned pale with fright and kept apologizing.

Xu Jingyi decided to adopt the assistant director's suggestion. After all, in the previous world, some black fans were really irrational.

"Husband, I want to discuss something with you."

"Ding dong."

The WeChat notification on his phone interrupted Gu Minzheng, who was working on documents. He raised his hand to take off his glasses, rubbed his brows, unlocked his phone, and clicked on Xu Jingyi's voicemail.

The next moment, a delicate voice filled the entire office.

In an instant, there was silence, and even the project manager, who usually had the least laughable point of view, was secretly pinching his thighs to prevent himself from being unable to hold it in and packing up and leaving the next moment.

In less than 5 minutes, Xu Jingyi received a call from Gu Minzheng.

Gu Minzheng didn't give her time to speak, and asked directly: "Speak humanly."

Since Gu Minzheng couldn't see her on the other end of the phone, she rolled her eyes obscenely: "...That's it, you arrange a place for me and the children."

"Take some time to clean up. The driver will pick you up soon."

"Okay, thank you husband, bye."

After hanging up the phone, Xu Jingyi called Gu Yi and Gu Mo, and the three of them packed up their belongings enthusiastically.

They had just finished cleaning up, and the assistant had already called and said they were waiting downstairs. The time was just right.

This time, a male assistant came, and his attitude towards them was particularly polite, much better than that of the female secretary who was fired, which made Xu Jingyi very satisfied.

The assistant took them to a high-end villa complex. After swiping their card at the door, they drove directly into the center of the villa complex.

Standing at the door of the villa, Xu Jingyi lamented countless times that the world of the rich was a place of unimaginable happiness. If she had owned such a villa in her previous life, she would have been very satisfied.

"Madam, I have found someone to clean it up. Your information has been entered by the property management. Each villa will be assigned a dedicated housekeeper. He will be here soon. If you need anything, please talk to me or the housekeeper. You can say whatever you want, see if there’s anything missing.”

Xu Jingyi opened the door and looked at the living room and the bedrooms of the three people. She found that there was nothing missing except for the popularity. She was very satisfied with this.

"No, thank you for your hard work. I will tell Gu Minzheng to give you a salary increase."

"You're welcome, madam. If there's nothing else, I'll leave first."

"Alright, get on with your work."

Xu Jingyi sent off the assistant first, and the housekeeper arrived later.

After arriving, she quickly showed her professional service, quickly sorted out the three people's clothes, and after learning their tastes, she made several delicious meals.

In order not to expose the unfamiliarity of their "mother and son" to the cameras tomorrow, Xu Jingyi specially asked the housekeeper to buy Lego.

After dinner, the three of them lay on the carpet in the hall and played with building blocks together happily.
