Chapter 283 The trump card
The rich aroma of meat attracted the two little ones in the living room. They came to the kitchen and took the empty dumplings plates with them.
Seeing them coming over with plates, Su Jinjin smiled and asked them to put the plates over to the sink and go out and wait a while, as it would be done soon.
Cheng Guyu and Ling Yun stood on tiptoe, looked at the fragrant chicken wings in the pot, and then left reluctantly.

Actor Zhou took Zhou Wanan to a restaurant near his home.
After sitting down, Zhou Wanan watched Actor Zhou order food.
Mr. Zhou had no intention of letting him look at the menu. He thought he was just a little brat who couldn't understand anything.
I took the initiative to order him a steak.
When the waiter told him that all steaks should be cooked medium rare, Zhou Wanan mustered up the courage to tell the waiter, "I want mine well-done."
Actor Zhou: "Why do you want well-done steak? Medium rare is the best and most nutritious. If you fry it well-done, not only will all the nutrients be lost, but it will also be as hard as iron. How can you eat it then?"
Zhou Wanan: "But I want it well-done."
Actor Zhou: "Just listen to me and eat it medium rare."
After saying that, Actor Zhou handed the menu to the waiter and asked the waiter for a bottle of red wine.
The waiter leaned over and asked him, "Would you like a dessert for the kids?"
Zhou Wanan's eyes lit up as he listened to the waiter's words.
Actor Zhou: "No, eating too much dessert will cause tooth decay."
"Okay, sir."
Zhou Wanan's eyes dimmed.
He knew that it was not a good idea to go out to eat with Mr. Zhou. He was not given the right to choose and had to eat whatever Mr. Zhou wanted to order.
Fortunately, the steak in this restaurant comes with pasta and his favorite cherry tomatoes.
Zhou Wanan used a fork to pick up these two things and eat them.
Seeing that he didn't touch the steak at all, Zhou Yingdi knocked on the table with his hand: "Don't waste it, otherwise I won't take you out to eat in the future."
Zhou Wanan looked at the completely uncooked steak on the plate, frowned, and slowly cut it with a knife and fork.
Accidentally, his knife and fork scratched the plate, making a sharp sound.
Actor Zhou knocked on the table again and asked her to pay attention to dining etiquette.
Zhou Wanan cursed in his heart.
He really hates the two adults who adopted him.
There are so many rules broken.
I have high expectations for others but am very tolerant of myself.
But people under the eaves have to bow their heads.
Zhou Wanan acted well-behaved and sensible, and said to Actor Zhou, "Okay."
After Zhou Wanan cut a piece of steak, he looked at the red blood streaks on the beef and frowned even deeper.
He raised his eyes to look at Zhou Yingdi who was sitting opposite him and found that Zhou Yingdi was looking at him. After seeing him looking at him, he said, "Eat, why are you looking at me?"
Zhou Wanan had no choice but to suppress his nausea and put the beef he hated into his mouth. He swallowed it without chewing it much.
Zhou Yingdi watched him eat the beef, smiled, and then said, "It's delicious, right? From now on, when you eat steak, eat it to this doneness. It won't taste good if it's too well done."
"And if you eat it well-done, you'll be laughed at by others."
Actor Zhou is teaching Zhou Wanan sincerely.
He was born into a grassroots family and experienced being ridiculed by many people. Eating steak was one of the things that made him ridiculed.
Even if he didn't like Zhou Wanan very much, after all, Zhou Wanan was still his son in name. If Zhou Wanan embarrassed himself in public in the future, it would also be a disgrace to him.
With his current status, he no longer wants to be ridiculed by others when he is in trouble.
Zhou Wanan suppressed the nausea that was coming up and said to Actor Zhou, "I understand."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Zhou Yu, who had not been seen all day, walking leisurely into the restaurant door.
Her hand was draped over a man's arm.
Actor Zhou noticed that Zhou Wanan was looking outside, so he turned around and looked back.
He immediately met Zhou Yu's eyes, and then he looked at the man whose arm Zhou Yu was holding.
That man has a big belly, and I look like the 2.0 version of Xu Dazhi.
Actor Zhou's face suddenly turned cold.
Although he didn't like Zhou Yu, he felt disgusted when he saw Zhou Yu and the man who looked like a fat pig appear in front of him.
After all, we got the marriage certificate together.
They are tied together, and they prosper and suffer together.
He really couldn't understand Zhou Yu. Why couldn't he be more selective when choosing sponsors?
I'm pretty good-looking, and I keep going to cosmetic surgeries to pursue beauty, but the people I find are all uglier than the last. Can't I be like him and find someone more presentable?
Zhou Yu was stunned for a moment when she saw Actor Zhou and Zhou Wanan, but she quickly regained her smiling expression.
She pretended not to know Actor Zhou and Zhou Wanan, and walked towards the restaurant's private room with her new sponsor in her arms.
Emperor Zhou watched her figure disappear into the corner, took out his cell phone and sent a message to Zhou Yu.
Actor Zhou: Be careful out there. If we get caught by the paparazzi, it’ll be the end of us both!
After sending the message, Actor Zhou waited for a long time before Zhou Yu replied to him.
Zhou Yu: Just take care of yourself, don't even think about me! You didn't help me when I got into trouble before.
Actor Zhou: Why didn't I help you? If it weren't for me, you would have been banned long ago! Besides, didn't I follow you live and act well afterwards?
Zhou Yu: Do you think that's helping me? It's the same whether you helped me or not.
Actor Zhou was so angry that he wanted to throw his phone away.
Actor Zhou: Listen to it or not. Wait until you and your sponsor make the headlines, then cry.
After posting this, Emperor Zhou suddenly stood up and said to Zhou Wanan, "Go back!"
Seeing Zhou Yu made him feel very uncomfortable.
Zhou Wanan was stunned for a moment, looked at the pasta on the plate, and then said, "I haven't finished it yet."
Zhou Yingdi thought he was talking about steak and said directly, "Didn't you say you didn't want to eat it just now? Now go back and buy something from the snack shop downstairs."
When Zhou Wanan heard that he could go get snacks, he stood up immediately.
If he stayed here and continued eating, Actor Zhou might continue to force him to eat steak. If he went directly to the snack shop to buy snacks, he could eat a lot of normal things.
Actor Zhou was very disdainful when he saw that he reacted so quickly when he heard the word snack shop.
As expected, he still looks poor and can't be raised to be a precious young master.
Zhou Wanan noticed his expression and pretended not to see it. Anyway, he just wanted to buy some food to take home and store it so that he wouldn't go hungry.
You know, if you are thirsty at home, you can boil water to drink, but if you are hungry, there is nothing to eat, so you need to stock up on a lot of food.
Actor Zhou has no idea how he feels when he is hungry.
Zhou Yu, who was in the box, was so angry that she clenched her back teeth when she saw the last message sent by Actor Zhou.
That bastard Mr. Zhou actually dared to curse her.
She was so careful that no one could catch her.
The previous Xu Dazhi was an accident.
The person she is following now is much more powerful than Xu Dazhi.
Xu Dazhi relies on his wife, but the new man he's with doesn't.
The new man he was dating was in the real estate business and was very wealthy. Although he already had two beautiful wives at home, he fell in love with her after seeing her at a cocktail party.
This man is very generous. As long as she speaks sweet words, this man will keep transferring money to her and buy her various brand-name bags.
Actor Zhou can't bring her anything except his handsome face.
Besides, isn't Zhou Yingdi also a gigolo? Why are you saying that about her?
She now wants to hold on tightly to the person in front of her.
Only in this way can she have a chance to turn the tables and return to her former days of being the best.
When she first started participating in that variety show, who didn't flatter her?
Later on, she turned out like that. Even someone like Zhang Ya dared to look at her in such a bad light.
Especially Su Jinjin, a person who had never been found in the entertainment industry before, actually surpassed her on the show.
She couldn't stand it at all.
In particular, she had been used to a life of flattery, and when the sudden gap came, she completely accepted her incompetence.
She must return to her previous life.
Even if the man in front of her, who could bring her back to her previous life, made her feel a little nauseous, she could still greet him with a smile.
She just wanted to return to the peak of her career and severely suppress those who took advantage of her misfortune.
Especially Su Jinjin.
She just felt particularly unhappy with Su Jinjin.
Both appearance and personality.
"Why are you always looking at your phone?" Zhou Yu's new financial sponsor Lu Youwei asked her.
"Ah, there are some things at work." Zhou Yu covered up.
She didn't dare let Lu Youwei know that she was chatting with Actor Zhou.
Although Lu Youwei knew that she was married, she always said that her marriage was just a formality and she had no communication with her husband at all.
"Is that done?"
"It's taken care of."
"Then stop looking at your phone and let's order."
"Okay." Zhou Yu looked at his face and said while suppressing his nausea.

On the other side, in Shang Fuzong's office.
He Weiyi lay on the sofa and refused to leave.
Shang Fuzong, who had just finished reading a document, glanced at the time, then looked up at him: "Aren't you leaving yet? I'm ready to go."
"Huh? Where are you going? Don't you have to continue working in the afternoon?" He Weiyi, who was lying down, sat up.
Shang Fuzong: "Go back and eat."
He Weiyi knew that Shang Fuzong was eating at Su Jinjin's place.
Shang Fuzong rarely posted updates before, but recently he's been posting a lot more, mostly about food. One time, his updates overlapped with Su Jinjin's, and He Weiyi found out after asking him about it.
However, he thought he was just going to have dinner, but he didn't expect that he would have to go for lunch as well.
He Weiyi muttered, "You have to go back to eat at noon too. Isn't it troublesome to drive back and then drive back? You can just eat at the company. Your cafeteria..."
Shang Fuzong gave him a look, the meaning of which was very clear - is there something wrong with you?
He Weiyi immediately fell silent.
Seeing that he had shut up, Shang Fuzong sorted out the open documents on the desk one by one.
Seeing that he was indeed about to leave, He Weiyi couldn't help but say, "Just agree to what I asked you to do. If you agree, I'll leave and I won't bother you at all."
The next episode of the children's variety show was originally scheduled to be filmed in a neighboring country with a visa-free policy, allowing the children to experience an exotic locale. However, the weather forecast predicted a typhoon would pass through the country, and the typhoon would arrive on the date they had planned to visit. Faced with this natural disaster, they had no choice but to make other plans.
He Weiyi thought about it and decided to do something big.
The show "Baby Variety Show" has a few new sponsors. He wants to gather these sponsors for the next episode and have them all participate in the filming of the latest episode.
There are exactly 6 sponsors, and each sponsor is accompanied by a family.
He Weiyi came here today just to get Shang Fuzong to participate in the filming.
After hearing his idea, Shang Fuzong directly rejected it, saying that he would send a representative from the company and he would not participate.
But He Weiyi just wanted him to go. He's so handsome, it would be a shame not to take a photo with him.
Previously, a short video of an interview with Shang Fuzong went viral online, with people searching for the company he worked for. This made Shang Fuzong's company famous, and many people began to pay attention to the products produced by his company.
However, Shang Fuzong rarely appeared afterwards, and when he did, it was in the financial columns that few people watched.
Moreover, as soon as he appeared, the ratings of the financial program soared, which shows his influence.
He Weiyi had been coveting Shang Fuzong's popularity for a long time and had previously wanted him to make a cameo appearance in a movie he was directing, playing an important businessman who worked with the male lead in the movie. Shang Fuzong flatly refused, saying that his script was not good enough and asked him to find another one.
He didn't listen, and ended up losing everything he had.
He always felt that if Shang Fuzong agreed to let him play the guest role of Passerby A, the subsequent results would not be so dismal.
This time, He Weiyi would do whatever it took to get him to agree.
"If you don't agree to me, I will stay here until you agree to me."
Shang Fuzong took the car keys and stood up: "Tomorrow is the weekend, no one will be in the company, you can stay if you like."
"Then I'll go to your house!"
Shang Fuzong remained unmoved and walked out calmly.
He Weiyi used his trump card.
"I forgot to tell you, there's a new sponsor with a very handsome and young CEO. He's a fan of Su Jinjin, and when he heard that the next episode required each sponsor to send a representative to participate in the filming, he immediately said he wanted to come. Moreover, he asked me to let him be in the same group with Su Jinjin."
Shang Fuzong, who was walking towards the door, stopped and looked at him with suspicion.
He Weiyi: "Really? I'll show you his photos and the messages he sent me."
He Weiyi was flipping through his phone while talking. After finding the chat history he wanted to look through, he handed the phone to Shang Fuzong.
Seeing Shang Fuzong slowly frowning, He Weiyi pressed on, "He sponsored our program because he likes Su Jinjin. If you hadn't come, I would have agreed to his request."
Shang Fuzong raised his head and looked at He Weiyi with sharp eyes.
He Weiyi's heart trembled when he looked at her.
However, thinking about his purpose, he coughed lightly, then looked directly into Shang Fuzong's eyes.
Shang Fuzong knew that He Weiyi was provoking him.
However, think about the man you just saw. Even if He Weiyi didn't do anything behind the scenes, there is still a one in six chance that that person would be in the same group with Su Jinjin. Even if they are not in the same group, they would still have some communication if they were on the same show.
"I attended."
He Weiyi, who was about to say something, smiled brightly when she heard these three words: "Then it's settled. I'll let you know when the time comes. Remember to arrange the time."
