Overnight Hit: Vicious Stepmother and Genius Son-Chapter 17 - Looking for Work

The young man raised his head and looked at Song Yuchen. “You know about Archer?”

“Of course! Archer was voiced by Xiao Yi. I like him very much and my Mommy even said that she would bring me to see him.”

Speaking of Xiao Yi, Song Yuchen’s face was full of pride.

The young man’s eyes were filled with anticipation. “Do you know Xiao Yi?”

[Ah! Baby Chen and this handsome boy are actually fans of Best Actor Mr. Xiao!]

[Oh my, our Best Actor Mr. Xiao is really liked everywhere.]

[Isn’t that nonsense? Our brother is loved by everyone. From old people to infants, there’s no one who doesn’t love him.]

Ye Zhenzhen was stunned. Xiao Yi? Who was that?

Seeing that Ye Zhenzhen did not speak, the young man thought that the little boy was just talking nonsense. The anticipation in his eyes dimmed as he said impatiently, “It’s fine if you don’t know him. Please leave. Our family has nothing for you to do.”

Song Yuchen quickly raised his hand to the young man and said excitedly, “Big Brother! Mommy does know Xiao Yi! My Mommy is a big celebrity and she’s very close to Xiao Yi. Moreover, my idol is Xiao Yi. I really like his voice as Archer. Mommy even said that she would bring me to see Xiao Yi after the show ends!”

[Ah! Did Ye Jianjian actually brag to Baby Chen that she’s very close to Best Actor Mr. Xiao?]

[Hahaha, I’m dying of laughter. I don’t think a child would lie. Ye Zhenzhen must have said that.]

[Best Actor Mr. Xiao: Ye Zhenzhen? I don’t know her. Is there such a person in the industry?]

Ye Zhenzhen turned to look at Song Yuchen, and the little boy was looking at her with excitement and pride.

“Right, Mommy?”

“Huh? Yeah…” Ye Zhenzhen’s mind was in chaos. Xiao Yi?

Eh? Now she remembered. Xiao Yi was the youngest EGOT best actor in the entertainment industry!

Previously, the original owner of this body had asked Song Yuchen to participate in the variety show with the condition that she would bring him to meet Best Actor Mr. Xiao after the filming of the show ended.

However, she did not have any memories of the original owner of this body knowing Xiao Yi and she did not think about this at all yesterday.

Ye Zhenzhen found the situation quite difficult to handle when she saw the little boy’s face full of anticipation and excitement.

Did the original owner of this body know Best Actor Mr. Xiao?

Now that she was in the middle of the variety show’s filming, she couldn’t possibly say in public that she didn’t remember if she knew Xiao Yi, right? Wouldn’t that be embarrassing herself in public?

Oh, who would care? Since things had already come to this, she could just wait until the show was over and think of a way to bring Song Yuchen to meet Best Actor Mr. Xiao. They were in the same industry anyway, so it didn’t seem difficult to arrange a meeting with the other party.

When the young man heard that, his eyes lit up with excitement. He ran down the stairs and asked Ye Zhenzhen, “Really?”

Ye Zhenzhen nodded. “Yes.”

At this point, even if it was fake, it had to be true!

[Ha! Ye Jianjian actually admitted it. Have some shame. To think she’s trying to gain popularity from others while on a variety show.]

[Could this be a script? Did she go out of her way to find a young man so that she could gain some popularity by saying she knows Best Actor Mr. Xiao?]

[It doesn’t feel like a script. Children don’t lie, but I’m sure that Ye Zhenzhen is lying.]

After the young man confirmed it, he quickly called Ye Zhenzhen and her son into the house, “Come, come, come in. You’re welcome to my house.”

“Brother, do you like Archer who is dubbed by Xiao Yi?” Song Yuchen asked the young man as he walked with his short legs.

“Yes! I’ve watched all the movies he acted in. I like this voiceover anime the most. Archer is so cool. He’s a national hero!” Speaking of Xiao Yi, the young man’s face was filled with excitement.

Song Yuchen instantly turned into a fanboy as well. His black eyes sparkled.

“That’s right. I like to watch this animation too.”

[Handsome boy, you’ve been deceived. Best Actor Mr. Xiao doesn’t even know Ye Jianjian.]

[As everyone knows, a negatively popular actress like Ye Jianjian can’t compete with a big shot like Best Actor Mr. Xiao.]

[It goes without saying that Ye Zhenzhen is lying, but to think Baby Chen really believed her! This handsome guy believed her too!]

Upon entering the house, it was as clean as the courtyard outside. It was very spacious and bright.

The young man gestured for the two of them to sit down, “Please sit. My mother went out and will be back in a while.”

“Alright.”

After Ye Zhenzhen sat down, the young man poured her a glass of water.

When it was Song Yuchen’s turn, the young man paused and said, “Little brother, let me get you some milk, okay?”

“Okay! Thank you, Big Brother!” Song Yuchen had always been sweet and polite to the people he liked.

After a simple conversation, Ye Zhenzhen learned that the young man’s name was Zhan Nan. He was 15 years old and was in his first year of high school. Because it was the weekend, his mother brought him back to the countryside from Peace City for two days.

Not long after, Zhan Nan’s mother came back with a basket full of freshly picked vegetables. After learning about Ye Zhenzhen and her son’s situation from Zhan Nan, she greeted them warmly.

Indeed, their family did not have much farm work to do. Zhan Nan’s entire family was doing business in Peace City. The Zhan family would only come back to do farm work for a few days during the spring planting and autumn harvest seasons every year. Usually, only Zhan Nan’s mother would come back to plant vegetables. When she was free, she would also come back to the countryside for leisure while taking the chance to bring some of the vegetables she planted back to the city.

Since there was no work to do, Ye Zhenzhen wondered if she should look for another family. However, she was forced to stay by Zhan Nan and his mother.

Zhan Nan looked at Ye Zhenzhen in embarrassment and said, “Big Sister, although we don’t have any work to do, I have something that I need your help with. I wonder if it’s possible?”

“Just say it. As long as it’s within my ability, I’ll definitely help,” Ye Zhenzhen smiled.

Zhan Nan scratched the back of his head and grinned, “It’s just that you’re so close to Big Brother Xiao Yi. Next time you bring Little Brother to see Big Brother Xiao Yi, can you help me get an autographed photo?”

[As a hardcore fan of Best Actor Mr. Xiao, I’m sure that he doesn’t give autographs.]

[Hahahaha! It’s over. The bluff is too big.]

[I say, Ye Zhenzhen, it’s not right of you to do that. I can understand if you’re only saying that to coax your child at home, but you’re doing a live broadcast now. Why are you lying?]
