Just before getting in the car, Feng Chengxi thought it would be one of those sightseeing buses used in tourist areas. To her surprise, the security guard brought over a Mercedes.
Being in the entertainment industry, Feng Chengxi had a keen eye and immediately recognized the car model.
A Mercedes S-Class, starting at over a million yuan!
This level of car should be for big bosses, she thought. She was just a small assistant coming for a visit, surely this was too much.
Seeing Feng Chengxi's hesitation, the security guard thought she didn't like the car and thoughtfully asked, "Miss Feng, do you not like this car? I'll have it changed right away."
Before Feng Chengxi could react, the guard waved his hand.
In a flash, three different luxury cars of various brands and styles drove up in front of her, ready for her to choose.
Audi, Lincoln, Porsche...
Feng Chengxi: "..."
She was completely dazed!
Not daring to hesitate any longer, afraid the guard might bring out even more luxury cars, she quickly got into the nearest vehicle.
The car slowly drove into the estate. Exotic flowers and plants were everywhere, with servants diligently cleaning and tidying up.
After passing a beautiful fountain, a stunning villa came into view.
A group of people stood at the entrance to welcome her. The scene was so grand that Feng Chengxi was too scared to get out of the car.
It wasn't until the middle-aged woman at the front came forward and opened the car door for her that Feng Chengxi awkwardly stepped out. She smiled sheepishly at the woman and said, "I'm sorry for troubling you to open the door, Madam. I was too surprised and froze for a moment."
The middle-aged woman smiled, "Miss Feng, you've misunderstood. I'm the housekeeper of the Zhan Family. My surname is Qian."
Housekeeper?
Feng Chengxi's eyes widened in surprise. This middle-aged woman with such an elegant demeanor was just a housekeeper?
She stammered in shock, "House-Housekeeper Qian."
Aunt Qian was a professional housekeeper. Noticing Feng Chengxi's nervousness, her smile became even gentler as she subtly tried to put her at ease. "I heard from the Madam that Miss Feng graduated from a prestigious university and is very capable at her job. The Madam, Old Madam, and Third Miss all feel very reassured having you by the Madam's side."
Feng Chengxi felt embarrassed by the praise, but after chatting with Aunt Qian for a while, she relaxed considerably and didn't feel as nervous.
Upon entering the villa and turning past the foyer towards the main hall, she saw several people sitting on the sofa, all turning to look at her at once.
Faced with so many gazes, Feng Chengxi instinctively stopped in her tracks, frozen on the spot.
Aunt Qian quickly introduced her to everyone: "This is Miss Feng Chengxi."
Then, she introduced the others to Feng Chengxi: "This is our family's Old Madam and Third Miss."
They were the Zhan Family's madam and young miss.
Feng Chengxi instantly transformed into an obedient child, bowing respectfully like a primary school student meeting their head teacher. "Hello, Old Madam. Hello, Third Miss."
Aunt Qian continued the introductions: "This is Miss Le Xuanji, and this is Miss Hua Ying'an."
Le Xuanji! Hua Ying'an!
Feng Chengxi felt her heart nearly stop. Could it be that Le Xuanji, the beautiful artist? And Hua Ying'an, the female tycoon of Hua Corporation?
What a gathering of elites!
Feng Chengxi felt like she was about to faint.
Before coming here, she had imagined she might meet the Zhan Family's Old Madam and Third Miss, and even wondered what to do if they looked down on her or gave her a hard time. But she never expected to encounter Le Xuanji and Hua Ying'an here!
She secretly pinched her thigh, and the pain brought her back to her senses.
After regaining her composure, Feng Chengxi realized a very important question—
Where was Gu Nanyan? Why wasn't she here?
She felt a bit confused.
"Miss Feng, come, sit here," Zhan Yiran, being impatient, spoke first. "Quick, tell me, what kind of show is 'Extreme Running'? Will it be tiring? It's not going to make people run all the time, right? I'm worried my sister-in-law will be too exhausted."
Le Xuanji, being more perceptive, focused on other aspects: "Who are the guests for the first episode? Are they easy to get along with? I hope they don't bully Nanyan."
Hua Ying'an frowned: "Bullying is unacceptable. Who's the producer of your show? I'll add some investment, with no other requests except to send a team to secretly protect Nanyan."
Feng Chengxi listened in astonishment, completely dumbfounded and not knowing how to react.
It was Zhan's Mother who spoke up, first casting a helpless glance at Zhan Yiran and the other two, telling them to calm down. Then she turned to Feng Chengxi and said gently: "These three are just worried about Yanyan. They're overly concerned, so don't mind them.
Yanyan is going there to work, not to a dangerous place. There's no need to be so nervous.
We trust the production team, and we trust you too. It's just... please understand our concern for Yanyan. Could you tell us a bit about what this show is all about?"
Feng Chengxi nodded repeatedly, handing the contract and show introduction from her bag to Zhan's Mother before starting to explain the show.
"'Extreme Running' is a big production, Lemon TV's most important project. Safety is guaranteed, so please don't worry, Old Madam. This show combines live broadcast and recorded content. The early stages are live, without any editing, relying entirely on the guests' own abilities.
'Extreme Running' is a competitive show. Although not as intense as professional athletic competitions, it is still quite tiring. But please don't worry, Old Madam, the production team will arrange everything according to the guests' physical conditions and won't push them too hard."
After hearing Feng Chengxi's introduction, everyone finally felt reassured.
Next, they bombarded her with various questions, which Feng Chengxi answered one by one.
When there were no more doubts and they were completely at ease, they finally let Feng Chengxi go to see Gu Nanyan.
Feng Chengxi wiped the sweat from her forehead and let out a long sigh of relief.
It was terrifying, absolutely terrifying. Their questioning had made her break out in a cold sweat.
Aunt Qian, who was leading her upstairs, saw her state and tried to comfort her: "Miss Feng, there's no need to be nervous. The Old Madam, Third Miss, and the others are just concerned about the Madam. They're actually very easy to get along with."
Feng Chengxi managed a forced smile. She was still in a daze, not knowing how to react.
The shock had been too great.
Before coming, she had thought the Zhan Family wouldn't like Gu Nanyan and might even try to prevent her from being in the public eye. She never expected it to be the complete opposite.
They didn't dislike Gu Nanyan at all; they adored her.
The others were one thing, but what was going on with Hua Ying'an? As far as she knew, Hua Ying'an was supposed to be Gu Nanyan's love rival. How had they become such good friends now?
This world was too surreal!
Just a while ago, Gu Nanyan had been universally despised, a "green tea bitch" hated by the entire internet. How had she suddenly become everyone's darling?
Feng Chengxi could see clearly that Zhan's Mother, Zhan Yiran, and the others' concern for Gu Nanyan wasn't fake. They genuinely cared about her, worried that she might suffer even the slightest grievance.
They had thoroughly examined the contract she brought, even bringing in a lawyer to scrutinize it word by word.
Luckily, the company had no intention of taking advantage of Gu Nanyan. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to leave this place today!
