Chapter 730: Chapter 716: Miaomiao: Complaining to Mom and Dad_2

Tuanzi has always been skilled at sensing others’ emotions. Seeing Gu Feng standing by her side, she immediately ran over, sat closely next to him, and began complaining with her little mouth, a gesture she was quite familiar with.

After all, when she was bullied outside before, this was how she complained to her master.

"Second brother is a judge on ’Star Chasing Journey,’ right? He’s too honest..."

This happened in the early part of last year.

At that time, the talent show ’Star Chasing Journey’ was entering its latter stages, and Gu Che, refusing to give the advancement card to Zhou Yan, was set up by the boss behind Zhou Yan and the show’s staff.

The malicious editing by the program group caused Gu Che to be criticized by netizens for a long time.

Unable to endure it, Gu Cheng asked Ai Zhen, the deputy director of Pineapple TV, for help to obtain the original footage of ’Star Chasing Journey’ to clarify for his brother, but he owed Ai Zhen a favor as a result.

Afterward, Ai Zhen invited Gu Cheng to bring his sister on Pineapple TV’s outdoor reality show ’Go on an adventure together.’ Completely disregarding that Tuanzi had just finished one show and was seamlessly joining another kid variety show, which might cause criticism.

During the show, Ai Zhen and the director he favored did not care about the guests’ safety. Moreover, they tried to use Gu Cheng’s seriousness to create topics, attempting to mold him into a strict and unlikable parent figure.

Tuanzi’s little expressions were quite rich.

She even mimicked the initial director of ’Go on an adventure together’ speaking in the toilet.

Her small paws angrily slapped the sofa, "Daddy, do you think he’s very bad?"

Gu Feng kept a calm face, touched her little head, "Daddy knows, Daddy won’t cooperate with him."

His face showed no expression, but fury surged in his heart.

He and Ai Zhen have been friends for many years. To help his friend secure a footing in the TV station, he sometimes found time to participate in the other’s programs despite being busy. Even if the other party strongly begged, he might agree to perform in a movie he originally would not partake.

They were friends, and if speaking of favors, Ai Zhen indeed owes him many.

Five and a half years ago, when he faced trouble, his younger son went to participate in a talent show, successfully debuted, and officially entered the entertainment industry. Reasonably, Ai Zhen should somewhat look after his son.

Especially considering ’Star Chasing Journey’ was originally Pineapple TV’s program, with Ai Zhen already being the deputy director at that time, obtaining the original footage was just a hand-raising task. If Ai Zhen truly cared, when the program group harmed Gu Che or during Gu Che’s recording, he could have said a word.

Fine, even if Ai Zhen insists on treating everything separately. He only repays the favor owed to Gu Feng without needing to help Gu Feng’s son. Or rebuts with words like ’How can you insult pure friendship with favors?’

Then, after helping Gu Cheng obtain the footage, Gu Cheng indeed owed him a favor and should repay it.

Thus, when Ai Zhen invited Gu Cheng, who never frequently attended variety shows, to join ’Go on an adventure together,’ to bring some heat to a show that might cease airing, and Gu Cheng agreed, this favor transaction ended.

Yet, Ai Zhen, relying on being Gu Cheng’s elder, and on the favor owed, not only wanted to boost heat but disregarded the safety of Gu Cheng and Tuanzi in the show, ignoring Gu Cheng’s reputation, stepping on him to generate heat, he should have thought, Gu Feng would break with him for his child’s sake.

Gu Feng had seen many such people, but when he wasn’t in trouble and had a good relationship with Ai Zhen, he really didn’t see Ai Zhen being such a person.

And he could almost imagine Ai Zhen’s mental activity at that time.

Ai Zhen could rely on the older generation’s relationship to cozy up to Gu Cheng and Gu Che but wouldn’t accept them seeking help based on the paternal relationship. Even if stepping on this junior to climb up, he wasn’t afraid of Gu Feng being angry, as at that time, Ai Zhen believed Gu Feng was dead.

But now?

Gu Feng was back.

Ai Zhen came over with a thick face to cozy up, calling him ’old brother’ in messages.

Gu Feng ultimately wouldn’t curse much, angrily saying, "I’ve never seen someone so shameless!"

Tuanzi nodded vigorously, "Shameless!"

Jin Lin slowly sorted out the toys and said seemingly casually, "To truly revenge someone, making their body hurt is the easiest way. The more they want something, the less you let them have it, giving them hope, then making them despair, this mental torment, psychological destruction, is the real satisfaction. Honey, don’t you agree?"

It was Gu Feng’s turn to nod vigorously.

"Wife, you’re right."

Tuanzi suddenly felt a chill.

She quietly glanced at Jin Lin, the other noticed her look, turned her head, and gave a gentle smile.

Tuanzi couldn’t help but shrink her neck, glancing out the corner of her eye at the originally rowdy eighth senior brother and ninth senior brother who also behaved more obediently.

Many wanted to reminisce with Gu Feng, and after going out for a few meals, he obtained the information he wanted.

"No wonder so urgent," he explained while handing the bought small cake to his daughter, "the director of their station is sick, the treatment period is too long, they plan to change the director, he’s one of the candidates."

Tuanzi took the small cake, unwrapping while wondering, "This plot sounds so familiar."

[Ancient Martial System: You forgot, a year and a half ago, the old director of Pineapple TV retired, he and another deputy director were candidates. At that time, he wanted to use ’Go on an adventure together’ as a bargaining chip, even revealing his true nature to your brother]

But then, the unreliable Director Li whom Ai Zhen trusted cared only for heat, disregarding the safety of guests, provoking public anger. Wu Ti’s son Wu Yu got injured in the first two episodes, he stayed silent but chose the right time to make the ultimate move against Director Li.

The program group changed directors, Ai Zhen was criticized, and missed the opportunity to become director.

A year and a half later, the new director gave up the position due to illness, Ai Zhen naturally wants to strive again.

Coincidentally, Ai Zhen and some director are preparing an indoor talk show, if they could invite Film Emperor Gu who survived narrowly for the first episode, the show would definitely be a hit.

Tuanzi listened to the system recalling last year’s events, her hands and mouth busy, soon turning into a little flower cat.

Gu Feng watched her little flower face and smiled, his tone inexplicably gentle, yet under the gentleness lay a suppressed anger, "I’ve inquired, his competitor also has a talk show. That show has been running for four years, with declining ratings, if it can’t be revived, it will cease completely."

The former Film Emperor smiled, "This show wants revival, your mom and I narrowly escaped, we are the most suitable guests."

Tuanzi mostly focused on the cake.

Like before, when bullied, she would complain to the master, leaving the rest for the master to handle.

She uttered a vague response.

It’s the system that sighed, [If the show revives because of this, that deputy director gets promoted, Ai Zhen might develop a psychological shadow from anger]

[Miaomiao: He’s too greedy, master said, greedy people will get their just desserts. Am I using the idiom correctly again?]
