A virtual princess? She's a real princess!

Since Aunt Zhuo had already taken care of things for him, Bian Xiao naturally had to express his gratitude.

After spending half a day at the Zhuo family's house, Bian Xiao finally went home. Less than an hour later, Duan Jingli called, and they decided to go to the TV station together.

"When are we going?" Duan Jingli felt a sweet warmth in his heart upon hearing the girl's voice, and he curled up on the sofa with a smile on his face.

“Brother Ali, we can only go tomorrow, because you know I’m going to the US the day after tomorrow, and three days later…” Bian Xiao was soaking in the hot spring pool.

“It’s your birthday, of course I know. May 11th,” Duan Jingli blurted out immediately. He had already prepared his gift, and Xiaoxiao would definitely like it.

“Yes, so let’s go tomorrow afternoon. I want to sleep in this morning.” Bian Xiao said, lifting his leg. Water droplets slid off his fair skin, which looked as white as jade under the light.

"Oh my, my legs are so beautiful," someone thought happily, admiring them from side to side.

"OK! I happen to be pretty free lately, I'll pick you up tomorrow, Xiaoxiao."

"Don't you need to film anymore?" Bian Xiao asked, placing his phone on a floating plate in front of him and playing on speakerphone while he dipped his hands in the pool to play in the water.

"No need, it's all over now, and I don't do variety shows or commercials anymore, so I'm just staying at home. Let me tell you, Xiaoxiao, my brother complains about me every day now~" Duan Jingli complained, her sobbing and affected manner amusing Bian Xiao.

"You mean Brother Duan?" Bian Xiao recalled the man he had caught a glimpse of at his sister's wedding; he seemed to be the same kind of person as his older brother and sister.

A typical workaholic, composed, dignified, and in control of power.

He was a standard gentleman when shaking her hand, with an endless indifference beneath his gentle exterior.

Completely different from Duan Jingli. One is full of energy, the other is cunning and calculating.

But they are all the kind with extremely high looks.

"Yeah, my brother, I think he must be lonely. He spends all day in his study doing official business. I guess now he can only wait for a female lead who isn't afraid of icebergs to come and save him," Duan Jingli complained.

"Hahahaha," Bian Xiao laughed, "With Brother Duan's good looks, he'll definitely get his wish."

Duan Jingli let out a playful "Ha," and rolled his eyes where Bian Xiao couldn't see.

"So it's a deal then?" Bian Xiao had soaked enough and was about to take a shower and rest when he hung up the phone with Duan Jingli.

A maid helped Bian Xiao out of the circular hot spring pool. At the same time, two maids immediately wrapped her in comfortable towels, while another maid dried her feet with a warm towel the moment they stepped out of the pool and then put slippers on her.

Bian Xiao then went ashore fully armed.

Meanwhile, Duan Jingli was laughing like a fool, holding his phone and smiling broadly as he got up to go upstairs.

"Were you just chatting with Xiaoxiao?"

A deep, magnetic male voice rang in Duan Jingli's ear, startling him. He turned around and exclaimed, "You scared me to death, brother! What are you doing here? Why didn't you say anything?"

With an upright posture, his muscular body was wrapped in a black turtleneck sweater, revealing the aloofness and indifference that Duan Jingli disliked the most, and he exuded a sense of oppression.

The man was holding a cup of coffee, the rising steam obscuring his eyes, making it impossible to see the expression in them. "Just came down to get a cup of coffee, and we happened to run into each other."

"Oh," Duan Jingli said, not thinking anything of it, and continued grinning foolishly, "Xiaoxiao's birthday is the day after tomorrow, and I'm going out with her tomorrow, hehe."

"Hmm, and then?" Duan Jingshen asked, casually taking a sip of coffee, but his brows and eyes slightly lowered.

"Hey bro, you're a single dog, you wouldn't understand." Duan Jingli grinned, his joy emboldening him to pat his brother Duan Jingshen on the shoulder. "That's why I can spend at least three days with Xiaoxiao!"

"And tomorrow is a date just for the two of us!"

Duan Jingshen ignored him, took the cup and went upstairs. When he reached the bottom of the stairs, he turned back to his younger brother and said, "I also prepared a gift for Xiaoxiao's birthday. Consider it a gift from our Duan family. Happy birthday to her. Take the gift with you when you leave the day after tomorrow."

Upon hearing this, Duan Jingli happily waved to his brother, "Alright, brother! Xiaoxiao loves receiving gifts, so I definitely have to deliver them to her. I promise I'll complete the mission!"

Duan Jingshen didn't speak, but turned around and went back to his study.

......

The next afternoon

Duan Jingli drove directly to Bian's house to pick up Bian Xiao, wearing a rare, serious black suit that showed off his already excellent figure.

As a result, the two got into Bian Xiao's car and headed to the TV station.

This visit to the TV station was really just for a tour; after all, with Zhuo Yi there, her two projects would definitely not be delayed.

Almost as soon as they got off the car, more than a dozen people came to greet them and showed Bian Xiao places such as the studio that she would be interested in, which was quite interesting.

Don't assume that people who work in such places are different from ordinary people.

How could that be? They all have two eyes, a nose, and a mouth.

A love of gossip is human nature.

Bian Xiao wandered around the building a lot, so naturally the news of her arrival leaked into everyone's group chat.

Those in less demanding positions are well-informed; they chat in the office while munching on sunflower seeds.

Meanwhile, in one of the offices:

"Xiao Deng, it's not that I don't want to help you, but I've never seen a variety show like this before. Try asking around on the local TV stations; we really can't get approval for it here."

"I really think it's great. Why don't you take a closer look at my project proposal before making a decision?" Deng You wanted to try again.

But the leader in front of her didn't say anything, he just lowered his head and started flipping through the documents, and she knew there was no way out.

Forced to force a smile, he said, "I'm sorry to have bothered you, I'll take my leave now."

The man then smiled, looked up, and said, "We've had our own troubles too. We have other things to do, so we won't see you off, Xiao Deng."

The man shook his head the moment he closed the door.

What detective show? What murder mystery game? How could such a mess be broadcast on CCTV? Xiao Deng really doesn't know what's important.

Who is Xiao Deng's boss again? How could she bypass her superiors to do things? She's still too young, just a young girl, why is she so competitive?

......

Deng You sighed as he held the variety show project proposal that had just been rejected.

She figured she was going to get herself into trouble; this time, she had gone past Fang Han and was sure to be punished.

Walking dejectedly down the hallway, she thought about how she had let her friends down again. It seemed there was no way she could get on this variety show, and she didn't know a single person on the local TV station!

"Hey, is this true?!"

"How could that be? There are even fake photos!"

"And do you even know who led the way?"

"Who is it? Who is it? Tell me quickly!" The female colleague, who was listening to the gossip, looked curious and kept asking.

"Pan Mi"

"My goodness! Isn't Xiao just a rich kid? This doesn't need to be!" the female colleague exclaimed.

"Tsk tsk tsk, your information is really outdated. Although I don't know why, but if Secretary Pan leads the way for her, she must have a very powerful background that we can't possibly know."

Do you think it's possible that...?

The two chattered animatedly, speculating about Bian Xiao's connections, completely unaware that Deng You had overheard their conversation from behind.

"They said in the group chat that they're tired of watching now and are in the lounge on the twelfth floor."

"Now I really want to see them in person, hahaha!"

"Forget it, we still have to go back to work. Let's go."

"Ugh, when am I going to get off work? I'm already numb."

.....

Because he's been busy with variety show projects lately, Deng You hasn't had time to check various groups or pay attention to these kinds of rumors.

So until now, she still doesn't know that Bian Xiao actually came to the radio station.

She knew Bian Xiao; he had been trending on social media recently.

The Zhong family is Bian Yin's maternal grandmother's family and has a strong connection with the film and television industry.

She suddenly felt she could take another gamble, so she quickly opened the group chat she hadn't checked in a long time, carefully scrolled through the posts, and after finding the information she wanted, she went straight to the 12th floor.

The chances of failure are high, but she will fight for it as long as there is even a glimmer of hope.

She didn't know Bian Xiao personally, nor did she know if he would invest or connect her with the Zhong family. But she had to go; investment didn't fall from the sky, it had to be sought out.

Perhaps because of his name, Deng You does seem to be blessed; he is indeed very lucky.

In the lounge, Bian Xiao told the people who were with him to go and rest as well.

She didn't really like having so many strangers following behind her, smiling and behaving. They were getting tired, so why not let them rest?

So only Secretary Pan was left to accompany her and Duan Jingli, because Secretary Pan would not leave the two of them.

"Ms. Bian, Mr. Duan, I'm sorry to take your time." After seeing that the caller was her superior, Secretary Pan had no choice but to apologize to Bian Xiao and Duan Jingli and go to another room to answer the phone.

As soon as Secretary Pan left, the two of them started playing with crickets.

"I feel like TV stations are just like that." Bian Xiao whispered in Duan Jingli's ear, his breath hitting the earlobe and instantly turning it red.

Surrounded by the fragrant aroma, Duan Jingli managed to calm himself down. "Yes, we're all just people, it's the same everywhere. We'll leave in a bit. I've booked a Huaiyang cuisine restaurant; I've eaten there before, it's very good. Let's go together."

“Sure, but it’s still a while before dinner.” Bian Xiao checked the time.

"Then we can go see..."

"Miss, there's a Miss Deng at the door who wants to see you. She has something to discuss with you," Bian Xiao's assistant said as he approached her.

"Maybe it's someone from the TV station?" Bian Xiao thought for a moment.

"Maybe." Duan Jingli nodded whenever Bian Xiao said something.

"Let her in," Bian Xiao agreed.

So Deng You was lucky; the only person who could stop her from coming in was Secretary Pan, who was on the phone.

After his belongings were checked, Deng You was brought in by his assistant.

Deng You finally got to meet the famous Bian Tai Nu.

Dressed in a classic black and white outfit, she exuded gentle elegance while retaining a youthful energy, never appearing mature. Her features were striking and elegant, with a radiant smile, especially her clear and bright green eyes, which left Deng You momentarily stunned.

Bian Xiao noticed the girl in front of him was holding a white folder and curiously gestured for her to sit down.

"Oh, oh," Deng You finally snapped out of his daze when he saw the girl's curious gaze and immediately plopped down on the floor.

"Is there something you need from me?" Bian Xiao asked.

"Yes!" Deng You realized he might have been a little too excited, so he quickly sat up straight and handed the documents in his hand to Bian Xiao. "I'm really sorry, this was just my personal behavior."

"This is a project proposal for Traditional Chinese Medicine that my friend and I worked on. I think... well..." Deng You lowered his head, hating his own tongue for being so useless at this crucial moment, actually stuttering!

Bian Xiao knew Deng You's purpose from the very first sentence he uttered and from the moment he saw the document.

Why don't you ask her to invest?

She's quite willing to take a look at the content, and if it's good, she'll be willing to invest, since a good investment will bring her more returns in the future.

Bian Xiao then took the document.

Project Proposal for Combining Variety Shows and Murder Mystery Scripts

Duan Jingli also leaned closer to look.

Bian Xiao flipped through the pages one by one.

This looks so familiar. Where have I seen it before?

Bian Xiao began to think.

Deng You was extremely nervous, his hands clenched tightly, his palms sweating profusely. He carefully observed the expressions of the two people opposite him.

This...this looks like that variety show from my past life!

Bian Xiao suddenly remembered.

There's no other reason than that this variety show was incredibly popular in my past life. You know, Gu An used to watch it every day in his dorm and kept talking about it to Bian Xiao. How could he not remember it so vividly!

Celebrities, live-action murder mystery games

This is definitely going to be a huge hit variety show!

How could Bian Xiao not invest? He'd cover it!

When Deng You saw the smile on the girl's face, she felt much relieved. But when she heard the girl say, "I think this variety show is great, and I'm willing to invest in it," she was overwhelmed with joy.

“However, Xiaoxiao, this kind of variety show might not be suitable for airing on CCTV,” Duan Jingli pointed out the problem at a glance.

Deng You became nervous again, "But, but we can also broadcast it on local TV stations."

Bian Xiao thought about his past life and realized that it wasn't broadcast on CCTV, but on a local TV station.

"It's alright, I'll handle this." Bian Xiao indicated it wasn't a problem and waved for his assistant to come over. "Um, this..."

Deng You immediately replied, "My surname is Deng, and my given name is You, the 'You' in 'bless'."

Bian Xiao nodded. "Ms. Deng, please contact my assistant. I will have someone here to handle the cooperation later."

Deng You felt completely relieved, his eyes welled up with tears, and he repeatedly bowed to express his gratitude.

Bian Xiao had his assistant deliver it to her.

Duan Jingli leaned against Bian Xiao and said, "Xiao Xiao has a good eye. I also think this variety show will be a hit. I find this project very interesting. If you really invest in it, I'll go and be a guest star."

"Don't tell me, Brother Ali, I'm really interested in this!" Bian Xiao said with a smile. She was happy just thinking about how this variety show would make her money in the future.
