I was shocked.
But everyone quickly accepted this fact.
Wang Chengran found an opportunity to secretly pull Xia Zhiyi aside and whisper, "So you know Mr. Fu? What's the deal with the boss? Didn't you just graduate?"
Xia Zhiyi coughed lightly and explained in a low voice, "I will be working at Mr. Fu's company from now on."
Wang Chengran didn't quite understand.
He didn't know Fu Chi's specific identity, only that he was one of the program's investors and that Director Gong was very polite to him.
In other words, the big spender.
There's more he doesn't know.
He was unaware of any of Fu Chi's businesses or assets.
Wang Chengran n't understand, but Wang Chengran didn't ask any more questions.
Meanwhile, with reminders from some viewers in the live chat, the audience gradually learned Fu Chi's approximate identity—an investor who had previously visited the show's production team.
[Ah, in that case, Xia Zhiyi's guest spot...]
[The non-celebrity guests are definitely not Ordinary Person after all.]
[If it were anyone else, I might have misunderstood, but with Teacher Xia... maybe they really are just friends?]
[With Teacher Xia's abilities, there's no need for her to appear on the show in that way.]
[Oh, why think so much? Doesn't anyone think this sponsor is exceptionally good-looking?! His face is so appealing!]
[ Xia Zhiyi just turned 18, right? She's already working? Wasn't she supposed to start university soon?]
[Don't understand]
Wang Chengran: "Okay then, but I thought you would invite your sister over. I'm also very curious about your sister."
Xia Zhiyi in surprise, "You're curious about my sister? Why?"
Wang Chengran subconsciously reached for the back of his head, but stopped himself when he realized his hands were soaking wet. "Well, it's just that I feel... well... I feel like you have such a good temper, your sister must be a very gentle person too."
Xia Zhiyi: "..."
What is the connection between the two?
Never mind, it's not important.
Xia Zhiyi: "My sister is quite low-key. If you'd like to meet her, I'll introduce you to her sometime."
He truly considered Wang Chengran a friend.
Wang Chengran was delighted. "Great! If I don't have any engagements after filming, can I go back with you?"
Xia Zhiyi: "Okay."
Wang Chengran pure of heart, and Xia Zhiyi was not worried that he might have any bad intentions.
His decisive attitude pleased Wang Chengran more.
Fu Chi appeared behind the two of them at that moment.
He arrived dressed in a well-tailored suit, but now he had taken off his jacket, revealing a white shirt underneath, with the sleeves rolled up to his forearms. His deep voice asked Xia Zhiyi, "Is there anything I can do for you?"
Xia Zhiyi turned her head upon hearing this, meeting the man's gaze. "You're a guest, you don't need to do anything."
Fu Chi looked at him Jingjing, his deep black pupils reflecting the boy's current appearance. "Sitting there is fine."
He made a point of finishing up most of his recent work before coming over.
Therefore, Fu Chi is indeed fine at this moment.
Wang Chengran saw Fu Chi arrive, he quickly stood up, somewhat at a loss.
Fu Chi's aura was too strong. Even if he didn't say or do anything, Wang Chengran felt a strange sense of restraint when facing him.
For some reason, I had a feeling of seeing my own boss.
His boss is clearly not Fu Chi.
Xia Zhiyi was much more casual. After glancing at Wang Chengran, she casually pointed to a stool not far away and said to Fu Chi, "If you're bored, there's a basin next to that stool, and over there are the vegetables for lunch. We were waiting for Brother Fu to come back and prepare them, but you can help with that beforehand."
He paused, then asked, "Do you know how to prepare vegetables?"
Fu Chi nodded calmly, "Yes."
There was no anger at being questioned.
Xia Zhiyi smiled, "Then I'll have to trouble Mr. Fu."
Fu Chi nodded, and before going over, he said to Xia Zhiyi, "You can call me by my name."
Xia Zhiyi blinked, caught a glimpse of the camera out of the corner of her eye, and suddenly realized, "Oh, okay, Fu Chi."
Fu Chi: "..."
Although that's not the reason, never mind.
Fu Chi really did go and pick vegetables.
Wang Chengran watched in amazement.
He asked Xia Zhiyi, " Teacher Xia, are you and this Mr. Fu on good terms?"
Xia Zhiyi: "Why do you ask that?"
Wang Chengran: "I felt a little intimidated when I saw him. He seemed like he was from a completely different world. I didn't even dare to speak loudly in front of him. But you, Teacher Xia, don't seem scared at all... Well, Teacher Xia, it's like how a student feels when meeting the dean of students."
Xia Zhiyi tilted her head. "So what if I see the head of student affairs?"
Wang Chengran: "... Isn't Teacher Xia afraid of teachers?"
Xia Zhiyi thought for a moment, "Don't be afraid."
Whether it was the memories that had mostly faded or the memories from later times, Xia Zhiyi was never afraid of her teachers.
Wang Chengran shocked. "Why? Doesn't Teacher Xia feel nervous speaking to a teacher?"
Xia Zhiyi shook her head. "No, a teacher is a teacher, what's there to be nervous about?"
Wang Chengran was shocked.
Wang Chengran didn't understand.
Wang Chengran: " Teacher Xia... have you never been punished by a teacher?"
Xia Zhiyi: "I don't think so."
Wang Chengran: "Why!?"
Xia Zhiyi: "... Why did the teacher punish me when I didn't do anything wrong?"
He didn't know about other things, but Xia Zhiyi that he still respected his teachers and elders. At least when facing teachers and elders, he wouldn't deliberately cause trouble.
Wang Chengran: "That's true, but when you're in school, there's that... well, rebellious phase, where you don't want to do what adults tell you to do, and you do what adults forbid you to do."
Xia Zhiyi shook her head. "No."
He can guarantee that it's true.
Wang Chengran greatly shocked. After looking Xia Zhiyi up and down, he suddenly realized, "Ah, that's true. Teacher Xia, you seem like the kind of obedient and good student. It's not impossible."
Xia Zhiyi: "..."
So why did we bring up this topic?
[How could anyone be unafraid of the head of student affairs?! I don't believe it!]
[Why not? I'm not afraid!]
[What's there to be afraid of in the head of student affairs? They're all teachers, they won't eat you.]
Xia Zhiyi looked very relaxed when she said this, not like she was lying or deliberately creating a persona.
[ Xia Zhiyi just finished the college entrance exam, right? Didn't any of his classmates or teachers watch the live stream?]
Director Gong frowned when he saw someone trying to use the live stream viewers to dig up some personal information about Xia Zhiyi. He beckoned to his assistant, "Haven't you found out who's stirring up trouble yet?"
The assistant glanced at the comments and sighed, "No, we're not good at this either."
Director Gong frowned and remained silent.
Then, he suddenly thought of something, looked at Fu Chi in another shot, and his eyes lit up.
