Superstar Assistant [GL] - Chapter 51

Chapter 51

After Li Ziyu’s fan club was established, all her industry friends reposted her Weibo to offer their congratulations.

Zhao Qing personally visited Li Ziyu’s home, bringing along high-quality ingredients. “I knew you were launching your fan club, so I came to congratulate you.”

Li Ziyu said, “What’s there to congratulate? You’d be better off providing some benefits for my fans—like a free meal at your restaurant for joining or something.”

Zhao Qing rolled her eyes. “I run high-end dining. If I let tens of thousands of people eat for free every year, I’d go bankrupt!”

“Then why talk?” Li Ziyu sifted through the fruit Zhao Qing brought, picked out some fresh cherries, and stood up to go to the kitchen to wash them.

Han Ping quickly took them from her. “You sit and entertain your friend; I’ll wash them for you.”

Li Ziyu then asked Zhao Qing, “Are you still in touch with Sister Sisi?”

The corners of Zhao Qing’s mouth curled upward. “Of course. We’ve been on several dates already. In a couple of days, I’m planning to break the ice and make it official.”

Li Ziyu raised an eyebrow. “Aren’t you afraid she’ll be disappointed when your true personality is exposed?”

This was exactly what Zhao Qing worried about. She sighed. “What do you suggest I do? Every time I try to slowly change the persona I’ve built in front of her, I’m afraid that if I act a little more ‘cute and weak,’ she won’t like me anymore.”

Hearing this, Zhou Tiantian patted Li Ziyu, signaling her to just tell Zhao Qing the truth.

But Li Ziyu turned back and winked at Zhou Tiantian, then said to Zhao Qing: “Since you like her, you can just become the person she likes. Isn’t it a good thing to change for the person you love?”

Zhao Qing made a face. “I’m afraid I won’t be able to ‘top’ her!”

Li Ziyu couldn’t help but laugh. Zhou Tiantian shook her head but couldn’t suppress a smile either. Li Ziyu was surely going to face some karma for this one day!

Li Ziyu continued with her terrible advice: “You still need to change. At the very least, you need to train your hand speed and arm strength. Then, get a ‘special pill’ from your mother, make it a done deal, and see how she can escape your grasp then.”

Zhao Qing looked at Li Ziyu thoughtfully.

Zhou Tiantian, caught between laughter and tears, interjected: “Don’t listen to her nonsense.”

Li Ziyu winked at Zhou Tiantian again, took the cherries Han Ping had washed, and handed them to her. “I’m not talking nonsense. Think about it—she’s willing to date you now, so you’re in the ‘ambiguous phase.’ Isn’t this the perfect time to lock things down?”

She then pointed at herself. “Tiantian and I are a perfect example. When you first met Tiantian, wasn’t she cold and distant toward me?”

Zhao Qing found Li Ziyu’s logic more and more convincing and decided to sign up for a gym class to start training when she got home.

…

After Zhao Qing left, Zhou Tiantian glared at Li Ziyu. “Can’t you be a little kinder?”

Li Ziyu reached out to stroke Zhou Tiantian’s belly and laughed. “How am I not being kind? They’ll definitely thank me later.”

Two weeks later, at Li Ziyu’s first fan meeting, Dong Minsi made a surprise visit. She said to Zhou Tiantian, “You don’t mind if I guest-star today, do you?”

Zhou Tiantian smiled. “Of course not. With you as a guest, Sister Sisi, the fans will be even happier.”

Dong Minsi smiled faintly, but her expression held a hint of bitterness when she saw Li Ziyu.

“Ziyu, you and Zhao Qing grew up together, right?”

Li Ziyu nodded. Dong Minsi glanced around; Zhou Tiantian immediately gestured for the staff to step out. Only then did Dong Minsi speak: “She’s been asking me out like crazy lately. We’ve dated before, but we never stayed out overnight. Do you think she wants to confess this time and then… let things happen naturally?”

Li Ziyu said seriously, “I think so. How do you plan to handle it? Are you going to ‘counter-top’ her?”

Dong Minsi grew even more nervous. “If I counter-top her, she’ll definitely get angry. Then it’ll be completely over for us, won’t it?”

Li Ziyu suggested: “How about this—I’ll find you a ‘special pill.’ You take the chance to get her pregnant, make it a done deal, and once the baby is on the way, the ‘top or bottom’ issue can be solved slowly.”

Dong Minsi was more cautious than Zhao Qing. “I’ll think about it.”

Soon, the staff arrived to notify Li Ziyu that it was time to go on stage.

The fan meeting had originally been planned for a 1,000-seat venue, but since nearly 30,000 people had registered for the fan club and applied for the meet, the company changed the venue to a 5,000-seat stadium.

Li Ziyu stepped onto the stage under the host’s introduction, and the venue was instantly filled with the deafening screams of fans.

After Li Ziyu greeted the fans, the host remarked: “I always thought most fans of female stars were male, but I didn’t expect so many girls to be here today.”

Li Ziyu smirked. “That’s because they all call me the No. 1 female Alpha of the entertainment industry.”

The host, having done his homework, immediately replied: “Indeed. Standing next to you, I can feel your powerful aura.”

The host then began the segments of the fan meeting. After some casual chatting, he started picking questions from the fan message board for Li Ziyu to answer.

When the host saw the question, he was visibly shocked. “I think this question proves that the staff did not use any ‘backdoor’ screening to filter the questions.”

The fans were curious. The host looked at Li Ziyu with a mischievous glint. “Question for Ziyu: Between Movie Queen Dong and Assistant Zhou, which one is your ‘main wife’?”

“AAAAAAAH!” The crowd erupted in a world-shaking roar. Fans immediately began taking sides.

Backstage, Zhou Tiantian became extremely nervous. However, she had spoken with Li Ziyu before, and Li Ziyu had promised her not to reveal their private affairs to the public.

On stage, Li Ziyu raised an eyebrow at the audience and said in a low voice, “This question is interesting. Are you trying to start trouble?”

“YES!!!” the audience shouted in unison.

Li Ziyu let out a low chuckle. The sound, transmitted through the microphone, sent another wave of screams through the crowd. Fans on-site commented that their “ears were getting pregnant” from her voice.

The smile on Li Ziyu’s lips didn’t fade. “I usually live with my assistant, Tiantian, so of course, she is the main wife. Otherwise, wouldn’t I be cheating?”

“AAAAAAAH!” The fans screamed again, though this time it was a mix of excited cheers and the anguished wails of fans who had shipped the wrong couple.

The host had expected Li Ziyu to dodge the question skillfully, but he didn’t expect her to answer it so directly. Assuming she was just playing along to heat up the atmosphere, he joked: “Movie Queen Dong must be heartbroken. She might not even come on stage now.”

As soon as he said that, the screams grew even louder.

The host then invited Dong Minsi onto the stage. After some greetings, he asked her: “I wonder if Movie Queen Dong heard Ziyu’s answer just now? Do you have anything to say about it?”

Dong Minsi smiled faintly and glanced at Li Ziyu. “I don’t think that question should have been asked to Ziyu, because I’m not willing to be paired with her at all.”

Dong Minsi’s blatant “disgust” made the fans burst into laughter.

Li Ziyu’s eyes glinted with mischief. “Is the reason you don’t want to be paired with me because we are both ‘Alphas’ (tops)?”

The curve of Dong Minsi’s lips didn’t change, but her eyes turned quite cold as she gave Li Ziyu a sharp “Heh.”

Ziyu was really hitting her where it hurt—after all, Minsi had a specific “persona” to maintain!

Afterward, the host asked Dong Minsi to pick questions from the board. Surprisingly, she chose every single question that was related to Zhou Tiantian.
