Chapter 400 Meng Ziyi's Grievance
At 5 p.m. on June 27, Meng Ziyi walked out of the classroom with his schoolbag.

She rubbed her slightly throbbing temples and breathed a sigh of relief.

After nearly three months of filming, "Wu Xin: The Monster Killer" has completely wrapped up, and Meng Ziyi has returned to school to prepare for his final exams.

Because she had been absent from class for a long time, and because she had high expectations for herself, she had been studying frantically for the past few days, and finally finished all the exams today.

Chen Yao patted Meng Ziyi on the shoulder and asked with a smile, "Want to have dinner together tonight?"

Seeing Chen Yao's bright smile, Meng Ziyi was momentarily stunned.

She has been in a bad mood ever since she lost to Tian Qianwei in the last Running Man competition.

Jiang Yifeng didn't try to comfort her; instead, he was busy with other beautiful women performing a blessing ceremony for the office building, and now he's promoting his movie.

Meng Ziyi's grievances accumulated, and he couldn't eat or sleep well these days, and he even lost weight.

She sighed and asked, "You're smiling so happily, is there something good happening?"

Upon hearing Meng Ziyi's question, Chen Yao truthfully replied, "I went for an interview a couple of days ago and got the role of Chen Qunfang in 'In the Name of the People'!"
"How about I treat you to a nice meal today?"

Meng Ziyi knew about the TV series "In the Name of the People" and had auditioned for an important supporting role, but failed.

Chen Qunfang is a staff member of the Anti-Corruption Bureau's Investigation Section, a minor supporting character with very little screen time.

Meng Ziyi wouldn't even consider such a role.

I didn't expect Chen Yao to be so happy to get the role.

Meng Ziyi smiled and said, "Not today. I have a dinner appointment with Nazha. I'll treat you tomorrow."

"Never mind then." Chen Yao took two steps forward, then turned back and said, "Tomorrow I'm flying to Africa to film Wolf Warrior 2 for a few days."

Chen Yao also played a supporting role in Wolf Warrior 2, mostly minor characters, but she had no complaints and was actually quite happy about it.

Watching Chen Yao leave, Meng Ziyi sighed again and drove his red BMW to No. 7 Diaoyutai Courtyard.

After Jiang Yifeng bought the large apartment here, Nazha has been living here ever since.

The aunt opened the door, and Meng Ziyi walked in. He saw Nazha arranging ice and fruit on the kitchen counter.

"Sister-in-law, are you researching some kind of delicious food?"

Seeing Meng Ziyi arrive, Nazha said with a smile, "We're researching the proportions for smoothie drinks. It's been hot lately, and Uncle likes to drink something cold."

I made lychee shaved ice a couple of days ago, and he loved it!

Let's explore some new flavors this time, like grape shaved ice.

You've come at the right time! Quickly, try it out!

Naza took a light purple shaved ice from the refrigerator and handed it to Meng Ziyi.

Meng Ziyi took a bite and found that in addition to the sweet and sour taste of grapes, there was also a faint wine flavor. The taste was unexpectedly good.

I took another sip, and the more I drank, the more addicted I became.

She gave a thumbs up and exclaimed, "Delicious, really delicious!"

Hearing Meng Ziyi's praise, Nazha laughed heartily and then lowered his head to study the new formula.

She hummed a song as she made the smoothies, like a happy little bird.

Seeing this, Meng Ziyi couldn't help but ask, "Sister-in-law, you haven't been filming, singing, or recording variety shows lately. Even the movie 'Sewing Machine Band' is about to be released, and you haven't gone to promote it."

Aren't you worried about becoming outdated if you spend all your time researching these smoothies at home?
"And as your cousin's business grows bigger and bigger, the number of young actresses in his company is increasing. Aren't you worried about being surpassed or even replaced by them?"

Upon hearing Meng Ziyi's question, Nazha paused for a moment and asked in return, "Why should I worry?"

Materially, I now have more money than I could ever spend in a lifetime, and I don't have to worry about money.

In terms of family ties, I bought houses for my parents and sister, and they all moved to live in the capital.
In my personal life, I am healthy, beautiful, and have Sister Yuanyuan and you girls as my best friends.
Although the older man was a bit of a womanizer in love, he was incredibly good to me, and I always felt sweet and content.

I'm doing great in every way, why should I overthink things?

Upon hearing Naza's reply, Meng Ziyi was speechless for a moment.

Just then, Gao Yuanyuan walked in. Seeing Meng Ziyi's confused look, she smiled and explained, "You and Nazha are different."

Naza's mindset emphasizes a sense of accomplishment; she focuses on what she has now, and coupled with her trust in Lao Jiang, she lives a happy life.

However, your mindset emphasizes loss, and you always focus on what you might lose.

So you want to compete for everything, and if you lose, you feel bad, even anxious about losing it all.

When Gao Yuanyuan arrived, Nazha asked Auntie to start preparing dinner.

Gao Yuanyuan took a sip of her shaved ice and continued to say to Meng Ziyi, "You have two major problems."

The first problem is that one's abilities and ambitions are mismatched, or rather, one's efforts and determination are insufficient.

You want to gather a group of young actresses with yourself as the core and become the leader of the new generation of female artists at Fengxing Media, but you are not good enough in terms of talent, methods, or effort.

Tian Qianwei has been practicing martial arts for the past few years, and she can be said to have persisted in it every day without stopping.

While her resources certainly reflect Jiang Zemin's personal preferences, they were mostly selected through competition. Moreover, she didn't have much ambition, nor did she try to form cliques; she just wanted to be a top-tier actress.

Your biggest contribution is studying acting at school. At most, you get up early to practice your morning exercises, but you spend most of your time having fun and enjoying yourself. You also want to become the leading figure among the young actresses.

If you lack personal ability, it will be difficult for you to gain the respect of others.

Upon hearing this, Meng Ziyi couldn't help but retort, "Then why is Naza okay?"

Gao Yuanyuan chuckled and said, "That's because Nazha was Lao Jiang's first girlfriend. In terms of status, we who came later were all mistresses, the fourth, or the fifth."

The order in which people appear in our lives is really important; that's what we call fate.

Moreover, you can never learn Nazar's mentality and his trust in Lao Jiang.

This thing can't be faked.

Did you previously have thoughts of replacing Nazar? To be honest, I almost laughed when I saw that.

Gao Yuanyuan exposed Meng Ziyi's plan, making her somewhat embarrassed.

Meng Ziyi was about to apologize to Nazha when he realized that Nazha didn't care at all, so he asked, "Aren't you worried at all?"

Naza laughed and said, "What are you worried about? You can fool me if I'm stupid, but can you fool an old man?"
With him around, I won't suffer any losses! The more you lie to me, the more this older man will love me!

Meng Ziyi: "..."

Gao Yuanyuan shook her head and said, "This is your second problem—the strategic goal is wrong."

You have the advantage of being a cousin, and you've known Lao Jiang for a long time, so you should integrate into our core harem as soon as possible.

Once you're in the core group, all those young girls are just your employees. What's there to fight over?

Look, Dilraba was on Running Man this time, but she didn't get selected and she was very calm and didn't care at all.

In our opinion, Xiaotian is still far from good enough; she even has to think things through before sending a message to Lao Jiang.

On the contrary, Li Yunxiao is a greater threat.

Although Li Yunxiao is not very famous now and has just started hosting programs at the company, she is very close to Lao Jiang. They can communicate by phone at any time and often meet up in private.

This is true intimacy.

Our entire harem is keeping a close watch on her.

But not only do you not integrate into the harem, you even have the idea of ​​starting your own faction, which is truly foolish. Without being part of the harem, you lack the ability to command respect and your status offers no advantage.

If I were the most beautiful girl in the company, I wouldn't submit to you either.

Gao Yuanyuan's analysis was incisive, and Meng Ziyi also realized his mistake.

Her cousin identity was always a lie and could not be relied upon.

One must first enter the harem and obtain a certain status before one can establish one's own faction.

Meng Ziyi pouted habitually and said, "I was indeed confused, but what angered me about the Running Man audition was my cousin's attitude."

I had a falling out with Tian Qianwei, and he didn't support me at all, giving the guest spot to Xiaotian instead.

Every time I think about this, I get so angry!

Seeing Meng Ziyi talking about Jiang Yifeng, Nazha immediately retorted, "Isn't Uncle good enough to you?"

He takes you in as his cousin, someone he has no blood relation with, and creates a slow-paced variety show about the life you yearn for, tailored just for you.

The production of "Wu Xin: The Monster Killer" had an investment of 8000 million yuan and a top-notch crew. They directly cast you as the female lead and even gave the second female lead role to your classmate Chen Yao in order to support your ally.

Shu Chang and Song Zuer may not be without their opinions.

Look at the company's young actresses, Xiao Tian and Xiao Song are fighting tooth and nail, and Liu Jicun and Wang Churan have even gotten into a physical fight!

Have you ever competed with anyone along the way? It's always been the older men who feed you!

You have no conscience at all!

This is Naza.

Gao Yuanyuan said that Meng Ziyi wanted to replace her, but Nazha was not angry.

But when Meng Ziyi talked about Jiang Yifeng's attitude, Nazha couldn't stand it and confronted Meng Ziyi.

Her protective nature towards her husband is unmistakable.

Meng Ziyi wasn't unaware of what Nazha was saying; it's just that it's normal for a girl to feel wronged when she's emotional.

What's more, Xiaotian used to be Meng Ziyi's younger sister, but now the younger sister is riding on her head.

But after hearing what Naza said, Meng Ziyi also felt that she might have been too dramatic.

Gao Yuanyuan added, "You must never ask Lao Jiang for an attitude. I wanted an attitude back then, and I almost got dumped by him."

Besides, it's not that Lao Jiang doesn't care about you.

He knows you've been in a bad mood these past few days.

What I'm telling you today is all what Lao Jiang instructed me to do. Otherwise, do you think I would help you analyze the situation?

Hearing Gao Yuanyuan say that her cousin still cared about her, Meng Ziyi felt a pang of sadness and couldn't hold back any longer, bursting into tears.

This cry allowed her to finally release all the pent-up frustration she had been holding in for the past few days.

After crying for a few minutes, she took out her phone and said, "I need to call my cousin."

Meng Ziyi had been angry with Jiang Yifeng for the past few days, but now that his anger has subsided, he misses his cousin.

She was a chatterbox and loved to send messages to Jiang Yifeng whenever she had free time.

Although Jiang Yifeng's response was not enthusiastic, it was still a form of sharing life experiences and exchanging feelings.

After holding it in for more than ten days, I really can't hold back anymore.

Gao Yuanyuan stopped him, saying, "Stop hitting him. Lao Jiang is currently live-streaming the 'Farming Bar' program. Today is the last day of his 100-day live stream."

Hearing this, Meng Ziyi remembered the matter.

She opened Panda TV, clicked into the live stream, and saw two beautiful women standing on a stage.

The woman on the left, dignified, elegant, mature, and intellectual, is Li Hong, a host from Yangshi TV.

The woman on the right, with her graceful and classic beauty and sweet smile, is Li Yunxiao, who recently started working part-time as a host.

It was 6 p.m., and the sunset glow shone on the two beautiful women, making them appear even more elegant and refined.

"After 100 days of hard work, the Farming Boys Group has finally been officially established. Please give a warm round of applause to invite our 10 members of the Farming Boys Group to the stage once again!"

Hosted by Li Yunxiao, ten people—Cheng Yi, Cai Xukun, Wang Yibo, Liu Haoran, Zhang Wanyi, Li Mingqiang, Jiang Dunhao, Lu Zhuohao, Peng Yuchang, and Yang Shouwen—went onto the stage.

After a hundred days of competition, they persevered to the end and formed the Farming Boys Group.

All team members will sign with Fengxing Media, and there will be some group activities, but they will also develop individually.

They will reunite, especially when the second season of "Let's Farm" airs.

Nine of these ten people were from the entertainment industry in their previous lives, while Yang Shouwen was a complete amateur.

This person is just like his name suggests, acting like a submissive person, and is jokingly called "Wenwen" by everyone.

He's even more effeminate than Cai Xukun, and he's naturally fair-skinned, never getting tanned no matter how much sun he gets. He's also very thin and wiry, and even after working in the fields for a hundred days, he's still fair and slender.

Therefore, she was loved by many female viewers and received special treatment from the male actors.

He also has the most on-screen pairings in the group "Let's Farm" (a popular Chinese variety show), having pairings with Cheng Yi, Wang Yibo, and others.

Some female fans even started writing fanfiction about him, which began with: "Awen was cute since he was a child, but his high school grades weren't very good..."

Of course, Yang Shouwen was also quite hardworking to finally debut as part of the group, earning a considerable amount of work points.

While watching the live broadcast of the "Let's Farm" program, Meng Ziyi didn't look at the boy group, but kept staring at Li Yunxiao.

She hadn't paid much attention to Li Yunxiao before.

But what Gao Yuanyuan said today made her start to notice this Yue Opera actress.

Jiang Yifeng treated Li Yunxiao very well.

The popularity of the "Farming Boys" livestream for 100 days will definitely be highest on the last day.

Having Li Yunxiao host at this time greatly boosted her popularity.

Furthermore, there will be a live-streaming sales event tonight to help local farmers in Shijiazhuang sell their agricultural products. The event will also release details of donations for gifts and sponsorships received through the "Planting the Land" live-streaming room, and official leaders will be invited to speak and support the event.

These are all things of great social significance.

Tonight's live stream will not only be on Panda TV, but CCTV-1 will also broadcast it with a 5-minute delay at certain times.

Although the "Let's Farm" program has used some abstract and homoerotic elements to attract viewers, its overall direction is very positive, promoting positive energy and popularizing knowledge.

The government also provides key support and promotion for it.

Li Yunxiao has only been in the hosting industry for a short time, yet she is already hosting tonight's live broadcast, which can be said to be a very high starting point.

Gao Yuanyuan noticed Meng Ziyi's expression, pointed to the two boxes of fruit next to the table, and said, "Look how good Li Yunxiao is at handling people. She knows that Nazha has been researching smoothies recently, so she specially sent over some specialty fruits from Linhai, a box of bayberries and a box of tangerines, saying that her parents personally picked them from the mountain."

Her goal was very clear: to join the harem group. Even when we targeted her, she never got angry and even tried to improve the relationship.

This mindset alone is something you can learn for a lifetime.

Meng Ziyi: "..."
