Mr. Li, your daughter calls someone else dad again

When we arrived at the recording location in the afternoon, pairs of curious eyes in the studio looked over at us, and the gossip in their eyes could not be concealed at all.

Apart from necessary negotiations, Ni Jia's gaze basically stopped there, without lingering on any one person for too long.

There was still a while before the recording time, and Ni Jia was waiting in the lounge. After a while, the sound of Bai Xiaoyue chatting with someone was heard. The other person's eyes lit up when he saw her, and he turned his head to whisper a few words before coming in.

"Mr. Ni." Bai Xiaoyue extended her hand to her, and Ni Jia shook it politely: "Miss Bai."

"Did you get enough rest last night?"

"pretty good."

"I can see that you are in good shape." Bai Xiaoyue said as she sat down, and the makeup artist came up to touch up her makeup.

She is indeed the pillar of the stage. Her every move and gesture shows that this is her territory. Ni Jia smiled slightly, leaned back in her chair and said nothing.

"The director said you've read the script." Bai Xiaoyue quickly went through the cards, turned to the last one and put it back: "You don't mind if I improvise when the time comes, right?"

"As you wish." Ni Jia remained calm and composed: "This is the first time that Jiami has entered the domestic market. I will answer any questions about the company in detail."

Bai Xiaoyue glanced at her, his eyebrows slightly raised, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he looked at her for about two seconds before saying, "Of course."

"Ms. Ni." Secretary Li came in with a cup of coffee and even changed the way he addressed her. Ni Jia was a little surprised to see him, but she didn't want to ask in front of Bai Xiaoyue.

"Your coffee."

Secretary Li gave a cup to every employee in the lounge. When it was Bai Xiaoyue's turn, he said nothing and stood in the corner with Gao Xin.

"Why are you here?" Gao Xin had seen this man in the morning and knew that he was Li Yucheng's secretary.

"Boss Li said that Miss Ni is short of a secretary and was worried that she would be inconvenient if something happened."

Gao Xin pointed at himself when he heard this. During lunch, he had already made his role for the day clear.

Secretary Li approached him and lowered his voice: "Boss Li's original words were that he was in need of a professional secretary."

Li Xinghe deliberately emphasized the word "professional". Seeing Gao Xin's facial muscles twitching, he shrugged his shoulders innocently, saying that he just imitated Mr. Li's tone exactly.

Ni Jia looked at what was happening behind her through the makeup mirror and felt a little unhappy. She sent a message to Li Yucheng, asking him what he meant.

Unexpectedly, the other end called directly. Ni Jia put the phone to his ear and spoke in a natural tone: "Hello."

"Have you seen Bai Xiaoyue?" The man's voice sounded deep and powerful. Ni Jia responded without looking away.

"Have I made things difficult for you?"

Li Yucheng guessed correctly. Bai Xiaoyue really wanted to ask some questions that were not in the script. He didn't know what that sentence just now meant. It might be a foreshadowing or an allusion.

"The show hasn't started yet," she answered cryptically.

"She knows Li Xinghe." Li Yucheng simply answered the question in her text message.

Ni Jia understood instantly that Secretary Li came to support her on behalf of Li Yucheng, but this went against her original intention.

Her identity today is the founder of Jiami, representing the company, not any other identity, such as Li Yucheng’s ex-wife or lover.

"unnecessary."

"If you have any questions, go find him," Li Yucheng seemed not to hear her words and said to himself, "He will follow your arrangements today."

"I have."

She didn't say what she had to say, and every answer was very concise. Li Yucheng would definitely understand it anyway.

"You don't know Bai Xiaoyue. If Li Xinghe wasn't here today, she would do whatever she wanted."

"It's ok."

"I know you can handle it." There was a brief silence on the other end of the phone, and only the even breathing could be heard. After a while, Li Yucheng whispered, "But you don't have to go through it."

Ni Jiayin scratched the fabric with her fingers in the sleeves of her suit. She was a little uncomfortable with Li Yucheng's abnormal behavior in the past two days.

"Don't worry about recording the show. I'll come find you after the meeting."

Ni Jia frowned and almost blurted out, "Don't."

Li Yucheng didn't argue with her about this issue and hung up the phone directly. Ni Jia stared at the darkened phone screen, feeling a little confused.

Bai Xiaoyue suddenly stood up, glanced at Li Xinghe and smiled at her: "I'll go get ready first, you sit for a while."

"Ok."

The people in the lounge had all left. Gao Xin came over and bent over, looking a little unhappy: "Jia Jie, this host is so rude."

In fact, Ni Jia knew clearly that Jiami had just arrived and had no status or reputation. Bai Xiaoyue looked down on her, so she didn't even give her a basic title of respect and always addressed her as a peer.

But this is normal. Ni Jia doesn't think it's a big deal, because when she first started in Switzerland, people treated her worse than this.

"You're welcome." Ni Jia said with a smile.

She used that little time to think of all the questions Bai Xiaoyue might ask, but in the end she still failed to guess the question.

In front of three cameras, Bai Xiaoyue asked politely but directly: "Everyone says that the most difficult part of starting a business is not the lack of ideas or courage, but the lack of start-up capital. I would like to ask Mr. Ni, did you also have this problem at the time?"

Ni Jia calmly asked back: "You want to ask where the start-up capital came from?"

Bai Xiaoyue tilted her head slightly and smiled: "I think the audience is also very curious."

"Everyone knows that Jiami was co-founded by me and another founder. If we have to split it up, I actually invested in technology and was responsible for the drawings and operations. She took up most of the start-up capital, and I contributed a small amount."

“It started as a studio, and gradually grew to its current size.”

Ni Jia looked at the camera calmly: "As for how much that little bit of money is," she smiled: "I sold the property in the capital at that time, it's really a small part, many people can come up with it."

"Go for broke," Bai Xiaoyue said with a smile, "Can I understand it this way?"

"Almost." Ni Jia spoke in an official tone.

She did get some money when she divorced, but she used it all to raise her children and didn't spend a penny on anything else.

Because it was twins, Sanhao was born two months prematurely and had to stay in the incubator for a long time. She didn't have medical insurance in a foreign country, so the medical expenses at that time were flowing like water.

Even if this were not the case, Ni Jia would not use Li Yucheng's money to support her own dream.

I originally thought that this was just the beginning, and Bai Xiaoyue might hold on to her personal feelings in order to gain ratings.

But no, the other party quickly brought the issue back on track, and the program was recorded in less than an hour. After it ended, Bai Xiaoyue reached out to her.

"Isn't the question just now offensive to you?"

Since the other party stopped talking, Ni Jia didn't want to dwell on this episode. She smiled politely and shook hands back: "No, thank you Miss Bai for being lenient."

"I am indeed curious about you, but..." Bai Xiaoyue smiled and shrugged: "Every female entrepreneur should be given equal opportunities. I hope I will have the opportunity to interview you again in the future."

"Your question is crucial. I hope that next time I come here, Jiami will have gotten over this beginning." Ni Jiaming said in a dark tone.

Then she heard footsteps behind her, and before she could turn around, the man was already standing shoulder to shoulder with her, with his broad palm resting on the lower back of her waist.

Li Yucheng raised the corners of his lips slightly towards her: "It seems that you had a pleasant conversation."
