The Male Lead's Villainess Stepmother

Chapter 287 - With a boyfriend like Boss Zhou....

Chapter 287 - With a boyfriend like Boss Zhou, she didn't need to worry about a thing!

Yang Zifeng more or less knew what was going through Yan Shuyu's mind but he told her the truth away. "Truth is, if you are willing to come back, I don't even need their investment. Between my mom and my sister, I can do it on my own. I can offer you 15% shares. Do you want to give it a thought, Yanyan?"

His suggestion was completely unexpected and Yan Shuyu was a bit at loss. "Give me shares? Then what do I need to do?"

"All you need to do is to perform. Granted, you will need to keep up with your visibility. And, when we open up chains, we will mostly be relying on your popularity."

Yan Shuyu liked the idea a lot. She had been with Sunshine House long enough to know that the investment into the shop was at least in the hundreds of thousands range. Judging from that, if Manager Yang was to put in more capital from his family to expand, it would be upward of a million yuan. Now she could be part owner without having to invest anything in it. It was a very good deal for her.

Yan Shuyu, as the bargain hunter at all times, when faced with this win-win situation, hesitated. She felt that she could not do that to Manager Yang. Not only was Manager Yang a friend of hers but he was also a nice guy who had took her and her son in when they could barely keep roof over their heads.

Taking advantage of the boss was one thing. He did that willingly anyway. But could she really not feel guilty to take advantage of Manager Yang like that?

Plus, she had always heard that friends should not go into business together as things could go south easily. It was one thing when she was working there; at least she was making a fixed salary. Once they have become business partners, what happens when they have a disagreement?

Truth was, Yan Shuyu was at a good place right now. She made 40,000 yuan on her first paycheck at her new job. That had given her confidence and anticipation for the future. She trusted that her can gradually get to a better and better place in life on her own without having to take advantage of someone else. As such, after some considerations, she turned him down decisively. "Oh, never mind. You said to give me shares but you will be giving them for me to free. I don't think it'd be right for me to accept them."

"I figured you would say that." Manager Yang was a little bit disappointed but he was still pretty calm. Mainly, he wasn't a very ambitious person to begin with. Now that his coffee shop was famed, he would be raking in money with or without expanding his business so he accepted Yan Shuyu's decision fairly well. He then said to her, "There is something else. There are also those who reached out to me asking if you want to become an actress as well."

"Become an actress?" That surprised Yan Shuyu even more than asking her to become his business partner.

Yang Zifeng looked at her. "You didn't know? You really didn't get any calls?"

"None whatsoever." She knew nothing about what he had just told her.

Thinking about it some, she analyzed. "Perhaps our networks are different. I have very limited friends and not even all of them have my contact information. Nor would they give them out to the media."

Yang Zifeng thought that his network was quite simple as well. So how were these people able to find out his contact information so quickly? They even found out who his parents were and some of them had even visited him at home!

In today's society, personal information was not secured at all. Perhaps not just a regular Joe, but if someone wealthy or a reported wanted to find out her number, they could do it any time of the day. The boss was probably behind the fact that nobody had reached out to her yet.

Yang Zifeng dared not joke about Boss Zhou. Not even in his mind. Not even when Boss Zhou was now his little buddy's boyfriend and they were now neighbors and occasionally when he went to hang out with Yan Shuyu, he even had tea served by Boss Zhou in person. Boss Zhou was still the far reached Boss Zhou. He would never be a peer of Boss Zhou nor did he want to try.

Looking away, Manager Yang said enviously, "Your life is so much quieter and more peaceful."

Yan Shuyu, on the other hand, was envious of her little buddy's busy life. His life was happening and colorful. It was quiet around her. She couldn't even feel that she was now famed.

Hearing what she had said, Yang Zifeng gave her a curious look. "You want to become an actress?"

"That had certainly crossed my mind," said Yan Shuyu with a smiley face. When she had first transmigrated over and saw how stunning original owner looked, she felt that it would be a waste not to become an actress. That being said, she had no connection and was also timid. The original owner, who was much mightier than her, didn't even choose that path. With her simple mind, going down that path could not end well for her. As such, she finally decided to just get a job that would allow her to support herself.

Her life was not steady and well off, all the more she had no reason to do so. She just felt that back then she was a nobody and now there were all these entertainment companies begging her to join them, her ego was stroke and her vanity satisfied. Naturally, that made her very happy.

Hearing her reasons, Yang Zifeng let out a sigh of relief. "Oh good. I was worried for a second there that you want to become an actress."

"It didn't seem like you want me to go down that path." Yan Shuyu asked curiously, "Why is that?"

Because of Boss Zhou, of course. Boss Zhou didn't even let any information regarding Yanyan got out. It would stand to reason that he wouldn't want her to join the entertainment circle either. If his words were what put that idea into her head, he didn't want to even think about what Boss Zhou would do to him.

Yang Zifeng wanted to tell her the truth but that would not be the wisest thing to do. So he said righteously, "You are so naïve and kind, the entertainment circle is not right for you. I worry that you would be eaten alive."

When he put it in such a nice way and praised her son, Yan Shuyu bought it right away. She responded happily, "That's what I thought too. I should just settle for being an outdated internet influencer."

Manger Yang teased, "I wouldn't call you outdated. You are very much still in."

"Is that so? Let me go see." Yan Shuyu logged into Weibo excitedly and, sure enough, just like her little buddy had said, she was still very much talked about on the internet.

Yan Shuyu was No. 2 on the most trending list yesterday and No. 3 today. The key search termed had turned into #Fairy Big Sister Yan Shuyu#. In addition to her, Sunshine House was still holding fast at around No. 20.

Two days had past and, without any kind of marketing or hype, they were still up there. That spoke for her potential.

Yan Shuyu clicked onto the search with familiarity and read the comments from the netizens. The netizens were not idiots either. Now that they already learned her name, they also knew some basic information about her.

What surprised her was that her being a server at Sunshine House was mentioned but not a word about her being a former employee with Dorsett Hotel. Contrarily, the fact that she worked at the musical institution was mentioned. And someone, who very well might be a parent of her student, had commented.

"Instructor Yan was very talented and also very nice in person."

"My son didn't even want to attend his piano classes in the past but he had been much more pro-active ever since he had signed up for classes with Instructor Yan. He even told me that he wanted to take cello classes with her in the future."

"I ran into this little big sister when I went to pick up my niece. She was 10,000 times prettier in person than in the video. Even my niece is now a fan of hers and only wishes that she could go to class every day."

She read on for a little while then looked up, baffled, "Did Boss Liu paid for some water armies?"

Why else would the musical institution be mentioned so often?

Manager Yang couldn't help but rebutted. "Don't you think that could be the work of Boss Zhou?"
