Chapter 79: Full-scale Boss Has Become the Top Streamer In the Entertainment Industry
Chapter 79: The Variety Show Director and Little Uncle
The two worked in perfect harmony, delivering a flawless comedic duet that left everyone amazed. Their sarcasm was masterfully executed, earning admiration despite its sting.
Producer Lin’s face turned an alarming mix of purple and green, looking like an artist’s chaotic palette. Glancing at the man seated in the front row, he had no choice but to swallow his grievances.
Forcing an awkward smile, he said, "Haha, Director Nan, you sure know how to joke."
This was baffling. Nan Yuanxi had no known ties with this vase-like actress with a reputation for using her looks to climb the ladder. Why was he stepping in to defend her?
One was a powerhouse director whose every variety show became a hit; the other was a scandal-ridden actress whose fame stemmed from rumors. These two had no overlap, no common ground!
"Producer Lin, you’re mistaken. I never joke lightly," Nan Yuanxi replied, his gaze exuding a cold and formidable aura. His presence brimmed with a soldierly righteousness, making one wonder if he had chosen the wrong profession.
Producer Lin stiffened, his frustration mounting. He wanted nothing more than to escape the venue.
Yan Zhixu, resting her chin lazily on her hand, leaned forward slightly. "Producer Lin, do you need me to ask the server for a cup of chrysanthemum tea? You don’t look too well."
Her voice was cool and indifferent, devoid of overt mockery, yet her words were laced with sarcasm. Her faint smile, though beautiful, was infuriatingly smug.
Producer Lin’s face darkened further. Stifling his anger, he turned away and replied through clenched teeth, "No need. Thank you for your concern, Miss Yan."
If he looked at her one second longer, he feared he might lose control and slap her in front of everyone.
Yan Zhixu straightened up, putting down her propped-up hand and crossing her legs. "It’s nothing. No need to be polite."
After all, caring for troublemakers is everyone’s responsibility.
“…”
Sitting in the front, Nan Yuanxi observed her actions, noting how she had shed her reckless demeanor, once again displaying the calm defiance she had shown two years ago.
Sensing his gaze, Yan Zhixu looked up and smiled. “Thank you, Director Nan, for stepping in just now.”
Nan Yuanxi stared at her, seeing nothing but a sly little fox with calculating eyes. She had recently been all bluster, but now none of that foolishness remained.
This version of her was far more tolerable.
“Ah Xu, there’s no need for such formality between us.” His cryptic words left the audience bewildered as he turned his attention to the stage.
Yan Zhixu raised her eyebrows. "You’re right, as always."
Ah, little uncle was the same as ever—fierce and unapproachable on the surface but always protective underneath.
After arriving in this world and entering the entertainment industry, she had insisted on relying on herself, refusing any help from her family. Yet, with her reckless nature and habit of offending people, she would’ve been blacklisted countless times without someone secretly shielding her.

What was that? "No need for formality between us"? Those words sounded suspiciously intimate. What was the nature of their relationship?
Curious gazes filled with gossip flickered towards Yan Zhixu and Nan Yuanxi.
Under the burning stares of the crowd, Yan Zhixu remained as calm as ever, her posture unshaken, steady as a seasoned veteran.
