Who says real and fake daughters can’t be sisters?

Although he knew that Ji Yuanluo was playing dumb with him, if she really didn't take it seriously, how could she give him extra work at the last minute, and how could Siran call him to complain.

Director Gu firmly believed that Ji Yuanluo had done all this on purpose, but since Yuanluo didn't respond to his words, he had no choice but to play it straight.

"I think this sudden request for a promotional video is not very reasonable. Can we discuss not shooting it?"

Yuan Luo looked at him with surprise on her face: "Uncle Gu, what do you mean by this? Do you think my job requirements are unreasonable?

You also know that this is my first time to take over a project independently. If there are any deficiencies, I still need your help. After all, given the relationship between our two families, you are almost like my uncle."

Yuanluo actually intended to shoot a promotional video from the beginning to promote the culture of Lake City. She had previously thought that Gu Yunting might be difficult to convince, and she was still thinking about how to convince him. If that didn't work, she would have to invite another director.

Now that this great opportunity has come to her doorstep, how could Yuanluo not make good use of it?

"I think this is beyond my job description and it doesn't make sense at all." Gu Yunting tried to reason.

"But Uncle Gu, it is written in Article 28, Item 3 of our contract that Party B must fully cooperate with Party A during the Qingfeng brand promotion period (including but not limited to shooting promotional videos, advertisements, attending promotional activities, posting promotional Weibo, etc.)."

When Gu Yunting heard that the investment had reached a small target, he simply signed the contract without even reading it carefully. He was unaware of this clause.

Yuanluo was originally embarrassed to make things difficult for him, after all, the two families had a good relationship. But Brother Jiazi personally gave her a reason, so there was no reason not to make good use of it.

Thanks to Brother Jiazi, who dug the hole and buried his uncle himself.

"You are committing fraud. You didn't say this when you signed the contract." Gu Yunting was immediately devastated when he heard that this was a requirement in the contract.

"Uncle Gu, don't be angry. This is just a small matter that isn't worth a director like you to deal with. But I just got hurt a little bit and I'm not in a good mood. I don't have the energy to look for other directors."

As Yuanluo spoke, she pretended to turn her wrist unintentionally, so that Gu Yunting could see without leaving a trace that her arm was still bruised from being pinched.

Gu Yunting's momentum instantly dropped by half. He originally thought that Si Ran was exaggerating, but he didn't expect that the boy was really so arrogant. Look how he pinched him.

"You said it had nothing to do with that brat, but you're clearly just venting your anger." Gu Yunting's tone was still somewhat unconvinced.

But Yuanluo's next words put Gu Yunting in a state of panic.

"Uncle Gu keeps coming up with so many excuses, is it because he feels that he can't shoot a satisfactory promotional video? If that's the case, Uncle Gu should just tell me directly and I will arrange someone else. I won't laugh at Uncle Gu."

Gu Yunting jumped up and said indignantly, "What do you mean I can't make it? Who am I? I'm Gu Yunting, an internationally renowned director. How can I not be able to make a small promotional film?

I'm dying of laughter. I have to show you what an artist is. Just wait for me."

After saying that, Gu Yunting turned around and walked away without any reluctance to leave.

Yuanluo thought to herself: You should have said it earlier. If I had known you were susceptible to provocation, I wouldn’t have bothered with this.

When Yuanluo returned home in the evening, except for Siran, no one in the family was there. She had a simple meal with Siran, and while they were walking in the yard, Ji Huaian came back.

Ji Huaian's whole body seemed to exude an aura of decay, completely different from the gentle and mild-mannered elder brother she saw when she first met him.

Ji Huaian saw Yuanluo and forced a stiff smile, saying, "Yuanluo, look at my brother, is there anything different about him recently?"

Perhaps it was because he looked so pitiful, Yuanluo rarely had a sharp tongue.

He asked tentatively, "Did you change your hairstyle?"

Ji Huaian resisted the urge to roll his eyes and said, "I'm so busy that I don't have time to get a haircut."

"That's why you've become more handsome?"

"Are you blind? Can't you see that I can't even suppress my class smell?"

"Why are you so anxious? Why are you so anxious? I see that you are in such a miserable state that I can't bear to hit you hard, but you are still not happy. You want to hear the truth, right? You look so depressed now, just like a mummy that has just been dug out of a grave and has been dried for thousands of years."

Ji Huaian felt even more upset this time. He shouldn't have been so mean. Why bother her for no reason? It wasn't the first day that she had been so vicious.

"Why? I've changed my major, but I still can't escape the fate of being a slave. Oh, God, please send a thunderbolt to kill me.

My elder sister madly exploited my labor value, and my younger sister’s venomous tongue chilled my heart. I can no longer feel a single bit of warmth in this world.”

Ji Huaian howled in the yard without caring about his image. When the servants in the yard saw it, they knew that their eldest master was sick again, and they pretended not to see anything and walked away.

"Please calm down. Big sister is still busy. Have you forgotten how you cheated her? If Big sister knew these words, do you think she would soften her heart and stop exploiting you, or would she drag you to work overtime together?"

Ji Huaian suddenly shut his mouth, and the whole world became quiet.

There was a difference of about an hour. When Ji Huaian finished taking a shower and went downstairs to eat something, Ji Anxin also came back, and her face looked even stinkier than Ji Huaian's.

Yuanluo had a feeling that something interesting was going to happen, so she hid aside without saying anything, watching the show with her bright eyes blinking.

Sure enough, Ji Anxin spoke.

"Are you free every day? You can actually take a shower before I come back."

"I worked overtime until after eight o'clock and got home. How could I be idle?" Ji Huaian expressed his dissatisfaction.

"Are you trying to compete with me to see who can work overtime longer? Then let's switch. From now on, I'll go home at eight and you can work overtime until ten."

Ji Huaian was convinced, his expression changed in a second, and he immediately went up to take the bag from his elder sister, and said attentively: "Eldest sister, you have worked hard, you should eat something quickly, our family depends on you, the Ji family cannot do without you, I am ignorant."

Yuanluo: For a moment, I even had the illusion that big brother was finally going to stand up, but in the end, that’s it?

Ji Huaian pressed his eldest sister's shoulders and asked, "Why haven't mom and dad come back yet? Are they still working in the company?"

Hearing this, Ji Anxin, who had just taken two bites of rice, slammed her chopsticks on the table and said through her back teeth, "That's really true. The old man really has good intentions for the Ji family. He said he was going to Qiong Island to inspect the land and open a few new real estate projects. He took mom with him to work."

What a bullshit! When the old man realized that he couldn’t retire, he simply changed his strategy and started taking his wife out to play under the guise of inspection.

Look how fast he has grown. He directly threw all the company's affairs to her. She only received the news after they landed in Qiongdao. It was really a surprise.

What made her speechless the most was that the current version of the story in the gossip group was that she had exiled the retired emperor, and that she, the crown princess, had directly forged an imperial edict to ascend the throne.
