“There are also the second and third prizes. The winner’s prize will be generous. Closer to the time, I’ll create a huge commotion to get as much attention as possible!”
Long Ting was very confident in this aspect. This was his forte and he could make the entire entertainment industry go round.
“It can be implemented.” Chu Yichen agreed.
Long Ting smiled. “Yes, I’ll get someone to plan it tomorrow. Then, we’ll promote it and adopt a live broadcast competition format! It’ll definitely be popular! ”
“It’s a unique idea.” Chu Yichen evaluated the proposal. When it came to entertainment, he always did well.
Li An’an eavesdropped from the kitchen.
She did not want to leave the country, but she wanted the prize money. With so much money, she could buy a big house to live in and give the kids a better education.
In the living room, the discussion continued.
Chu Yichen suggested, “Married people should not be permitted to participate, and those who have children as well. These will affect the event’s popularity!”
Long Ting placed his fingers on his forehead. “That might be an issue. It’s obviously discrimination, if you spell that out. Why not just disqualify those who are unsuitable during the preliminaries!”
“Okay.” Chu Yichen took a sip of water. Everyone understood that only by respecting the rules could one earn money. In the end, this was about creating a celebrity! A married person or one with children would affect that!
Li An’an’s mind raced. She had decided to participate! However, that would require the three kids to suffer somewhat. But surely they would understand her mother’s painstaking efforts.
As Long Ting and Chu Yichen discussed the details, they noticed an intense aroma.
“Smells good.” Long Ting twitched his nose. Suddenly he felt as though his appetite had returned.
Li An’an brought out a bowl of fish porridge and placed it on the coffee table. It was a thick white porridge.
“It’s hot. Let it cool a little before you eat!”
Long Ting lifted the bowl in great anticipation. He blew on it and took a small bite, but got scalded nevertheless.
The porridge was soft and delicious. He didn’t know what ingredients she’d added, but it had the aroma of fish and fruit, with a nutty texture. It was the best porridge he had ever eaten! “Better than the Imperial Kitchen’s.”
Long Ting couldn’t wait to take a second bite. His taste buds were drowned in the fragrance of this porridge. It was too delicious.
Li An’an waited patiently.
After he had finished a bowl of it.
She stretched out a hand towards him. “Pay up!”
Long Ting rolled his eyes at her. “You’re a woman. Why aren’t you cute at all?”
“Now I’m not a woman. I’m a servant girl. Work’s a priority. Cute has nothing to do with it. Pay up.’
“Hmph, as though I’ll owe you. I don’t have the cash to pay you right now. Fill me another bowl.”
For the sake of money, Li An’an immediately went.
Long Ting paid up after dinner, and Li An’an got back into Chu Yichen’s car for a ride home.
She was overjoyed. This money was too easy to earn. She could bring the kids out for delicious food tonight.
The car stopped at an intersection. Chu Yichen wanted to go to the office but Li An’an was going a different way. She could only take a taxi back to the villa.
Li An’an had just gotten out of the car when a black luxury car pulled to a halt beside Chu Yichen’s car.
Gu Na, in a leopard print dress and seven-centimeter high heels, emerged from within the automobile.
“Yichen, are you going to the office? My father asked me to talk to you about a collaboration.”
Li An’an suddenly felt awkward. The woman she promised to help Chu Yichen bed had now appeared.
Should she say it now?
Chu Yichen leaned against the car and glanced at Gu Na. He did not answer.
Gu Na’s gaze instantly fell on Li An’an.
“Yichen, who… who is she? Why is she in your car?” Gu Na stuttered. Chu Yichen had never let other women come near him. Why was there a woman in his car? She didn’t look like she was from a rich family.
Chu Yichen looked at Li An’an and threw the question to her.
Li An’an felt a headache coming on. She was going to die before she could even succeed.
Oh hatred!
“Miss Gu, my name is Li An’an. We’ve met before. I accidentally knocked you over at the car show. After that, I lost my job and went to Mr. Chu’s villa to be a servant.” Li An’an explained. Actually, she did it on purpose. It was Gu Na’s evil doing that got her here. How fantastic were things now that Gu Na has pushed her into the presence of the man that the woman herself liked. Was it a
surprise or a shock?
This was fully what she deserved!
She looked uneasy nevertheless. It was her own fault that she gave Chu Yichen her word.
Gu Na recalled. She had shoved a model at the car show and fell into Chu
Yichen’s arms on purpose. And now, the girl had even gained entry to Chu Yichen’s villa. She was furious. “Yichen, how can you let such a woman stay by your side? She’s just a car model. She’s a woman whom anyone with money can play with!”
Chu Yichen narrowed his eyes. Gu Na took a step back. Did Chu Yichen care about this woman?
She knew Chu Yichen’s methods. Those who offended him would rather die than live! He wanted to protect this woman.
She immediately felt aggrieved
Chu Yichen’s eyes lingered on her for a few seconds but he did not make things difficult for her. Instead, he lowered his head, flipped open a document and started to read slowly.
Gu Na was instantly overjoyed! No, Chu Yichen did not stand up for Li An’an!
Li An’an looked into the car at Chu Yichen and gritted her teeth.
Great. He didn’t do anything, and that only made her hate him.
He no longer wanted to bed Gu Na!
Immediately, she looked aggrieved. She could only rely on herself now.
“Miss Gu, don’t say that about me. I’m innocent. I make an honest living and spend clean money. How can you say that about me? Look at my hand.”
Li An’an stretched out her hand. The only proof of her hard life was her pair of hands. Not only were they rough, they bore scars that had accumulated over the years. No matter how much she took care of them, it was useless. In order to make it realistic, she’d even pinched her palms twice earlier on. They were red now.
Gu Na couldn’t be bothered to look.
“Yichen, my villa is huge. I want a servant girl like her too. Will you let me have
Gu Na emphasized the words ‘servant girl’.
Li An’an felt that the woman’s tone spelt a dead end for her!
Chu Yichen looked up sharply.
Li An’an didn’t know what to do. She had never expected any good in Chu Yichen, so she quickly replied.
“How can that do? Miss Gu, I signed a contract with Mr. Chu. I can’t terminate the contract halfway. Besides, if Mr. Chu breaches the contract, he has to compensate me for loss of mental well-being, mental trauma, loss of work, nutrition, worker’s injury, and so on. It’s not a small sum.”
“Worker’s injury? Hehe, you really know how to extort money.”
Gu Na despised her. Such a vulgar woman standing in front of her was simply an eyesore.
Li An’an was indignant. “Of course, I worry about you having to settle scores with me later! Or hitting me. It’s better that I settle the worker’s injury in advance.
“You!” Gu Na took a deep breath to calm herself down. She couldn’t act too aggressive or Chu Yichen would see the uncouth side of her.
“Yichen, did you hear what she said? It’s really funny. How could I possibly hit her? Besides, it’s just an employment contract yet she wants a lot of money. She has a really bad nature.”
Gu Na sauntered up to Chu Yichen. Just looking at Chu Yichen from outside the car made her heart pound. A perfect man like him would never like a shameless woman like Li An’an.
“Yes.” Chu Yichen looked up. His brown eyes were intense and dazzling.
Gu Na was excited by Chu Yichen’s response. Sure enough, Chu Yichen stood by her.
Li An’an rolled her eyes. Haha, men! They really knew how to make choices! She was not in the mood to watch Chu Yichen and Gu Na displaying their mutual affections. She turned around and left..
