Chapter 416 - 408: If You Donât Want to Work Anymore, Come Be the Lady Boss
Chen Xixi looked at Jin Chengâs odd expression and suddenly felt that Jin Chengâs question was not that simple.
She indeed met many new colleagues at work recently, but the scope was too broad, and she couldnât figure it out.
Chen Xixi honestly shook her head: "I donât know."
Jin Cheng looked at Chen Xixi and didnât say anything, seemingly lost in thought.
Seeing this, Chen Xixi simply said, "Just tell me directly, who exactly is your all-powerful, rich, and handsome Uncle that you keep worrying about?"
Jin Cheng turned his head away again: "I wonât tell you!"
He was furious that the two people he admired most in the world were secretly together behind his back!
And every time he thought about having to call Chen Xixi âLittle Auntâ, he felt so uncomfortable he couldnât bring himself to say it!
Since Chen Xixi didnât know, he also chose to keep silent. That way, he temporarily didnât have to call Chen Xixi âLittle Auntâ, he would talk about it when he was no longer angry!
Chen Xixi suddenly laughed out, looking at Jin Cheng who seemed inexplicably upset, she slowly said, "I was actually thinking of introducing you to Little Aunt, but if you wonât tell me, then never mind."
"No need to introduce, I already have... that one..."
The words âLittle Auntâ, Jin Cheng couldnât say it in front of Chen Xixi no matter what.
You see, for the past couple of months, he had been considering Chen Xixi as his girlfriend, and now suddenly she becomes his aunt, how could he calmly accept that?
He needed to get over this mental hurdle first.
Avoidance is shameful, but effective!
Chen Xixi wouldnât fuss over a childish behavior: "Thatâs quite a pity, my friend was just a step too late."
She was more curious about what had suddenly caused Jin Cheng such a big shock.
Just last night when they were chatting on WeChat, he seemed fine.
Jin Cheng looking at Chen Xixi, quickly said, "Not a pity, my... that one, is very outstanding and beautiful, your friend perhaps couldnât compare to mine... that one... in excellence!"
Chen Xixi clicked her tongue lightly: "Youâre really protective of your Little Aunt."
Turns out Jin Cheng was not just a loyal hardcore fan of his Uncle, but also of his Little Aunt.
Jin Cheng blurted out: "Of course! That is..."
He suddenly stopped talking midway.
He canât be so subservient!
Those two big villains betrayed him, he couldnât just forgive them like that!
Chen Xixi, observing the subtle changes in Jin Chengâs expression, immediately had a bold guess.
Her eyes narrowed slightly as she pressed on: "But what?"
"Nothing!"
Jin Cheng had a look as if he would die before saying more, and Chen Xixi did not press further.
The next morning, the news of Jin Cheng returning to the country spread all over the internet.
Then below Jin Chengâs hot search was another one: #ZhengHeAbroad#.
[Jin Chengâs return to the country doesnât worry me, after all, itâs very safe domestically, but seeing Zheng He go abroad, my heart just strains, with Zheng Heâs intelligence, can he ever come back once abroad?]
[Thatâs a real embarrassment going international!]
[Mr. Jin is back in the country? Did he finish washing dishes, earn enough money, and now heâs back to pose as a rich young master here?]
[It looks like it. Last night he even had dinner with Chen Xixi at a star-rated Western restaurant, itâs said that the average cost per person at this restaurant is nearly ten thousand! It seems Jin Cheng made a nice chunk of change while overseas! Must have scrubbed the plates to sparks!]
[Jin Cheng earned so much these past few months, it makes me want to go abroad and wash dishes as well!]
[Did you guys forget the Wan Chen incident? Maybe he really is a genuine rich young master!]
[Who exactly is the young master then? Any sisters who know anything, hurry up and spill the beans!]
No one dared to reveal, those with money, power, and intelligence wouldnât blabber, and those without couldnât access Jin Chengâs identity.
But that didnât stop netizens from shipping relationships.
[Meeting so late for dinner, are the two of them talking things up?]
[Definitely something fishy, if it was a budget-saving variety dinner gathering, it wouldnât be just the two of them!]
"[How about President Zhou? Iâm totally shipping President Zhou and Chen Xixi! No, I donât want this!]"
Chen Xixi and Jin Chengâs scandal quickly became a hot search.
But soon it was suppressed by other gossip.
...
Makeup room on set.
Chen Xixi sat in the chair with a serious expression, pondering.
She now strongly suspects that Jin Chengâs uncle could be one of Wan Chen, Xu Nianying, Zhou Jinyuan, Jiang Xingze.
Firstly, judging by Jin Chengâs reaction, she definitely knows this person.
Secondly, heâs rich, handsome and probably not very smart.
After all, Jin Cheng isnât very smart.
But among these four people, their minds seem to be fine?
Then, use the process of elimination.
Zhou Jinyuan had already said he has no nephews, so that leaves Wan Chen, Xu Nianying, and Jiang Xingze.
She just texted Jiang Xingze and Wan Chen, and neither of them have nephews.
Now only one suspect remains, Xu Nianying...
She immediately picked up her phone and sent Zhou Jinyuan a message: "Does Xu Nianying have a nephew?"
Zhou Jinyuan replied very quickly: "Yes, why?"
Confirmed, that nephew must be Xu Nianyingâs!
Chen Xixi: "Nothing important."
Zhou Jinyuan: "Dinner together tonight?"
Chen Xixi: "Not tonight, I have a night scene to shoot, how about tomorrow night."
At night, the entire crew received late night snacks ordered by Chen Xixi, and they all came to thank her.
Some crew members even said: "Who says youâre stingy! I can vouch you are not!"
Chen Xixi was stunned.
She didnât order late-night snacks for everyone!
She was even planning not to eat tonight to avoid puffiness the next day.
So strange.
Later she thought it was her agent, trying to foster good relations, who ordered the snacks in her name.
Until she took the meal box back to her van and saw the man sitting inside, then she realized what was going on with the snacks.
Zhou Jinyuan was wearing a properly tailored black suit, his coat casually draped over the seat, the chill from him already dispelled by the carâs heating, and he seemed to have been waiting here for her for a while.
Chen Xixi placed the meal box on the table, then took off her white down coat and hung it on the hook by the window, rubbing her slightly chilly hands, she stood next to the table and exclaimed in surprise: "Why didnât you tell me you were coming?"
She had just finished shooting and was chatting with other actors; had she known Zhou Jinyuan was waiting for her, she would have come back sooner.
Zhou Jinyuan took her hand, noticing the coldness, his brow furrowed slightly.
He wrapped her hand: "It was a last-minute decision, I couldnât sleep, so I came to visit this film star."
The warmth from the manâs palm slowly transferred to Chen Xixiâs hands, the warmth made her eyes smile: "Arenât you going to work tomorrow?"
"Working."
"Arenât you afraid of being late?"
"Itâs my company."
The carâs heater was on, and with Zhou Jinyuan covering her, Chen Xixiâs hands werenât cold anymore.
Chen Xixi sat across Zhou Jinyuan, he opened the meal box and pushed it towards her.
Chen Xixi said enviously: "Having your own company is great, you can go to work whenever you like and no one can say anything."
Zhou Jinyuanâs lips curved slightly: "Arenât you now also at your own company? If you donât want to work anymore, just come be the bossâs wife."
She indeed met many new colleagues at work recently, but the scope was too broad, and she couldnât figure it out.
Chen Xixi honestly shook her head: "I donât know."
Jin Cheng looked at Chen Xixi and didnât say anything, seemingly lost in thought.
