Chapter 247: Steamed Bun Dolls

Su Yu's eyes gleamed, and she instantly forgot to ask Liang Yan exactly how many sets of clothes the dolls had, 【That's right, fifty-two of them! And they have to be paired with other accessories — where does Huo Huo find so much time?】

"After I finish my homework on weekends, every moment I'm not sleeping, I'm dressing the dolls and tying their hair!"

Liang Yan was truly bored at home, just watching cartoons would get tedious, so she simply brought the dolls along, watching cartoons while changing the dolls' clothes!

Su Yu was genuinely impressed — even if she were just playing on her phone, she couldn't keep at it for that long. "Then what about your doggy? Who plays with it?"

"When I'm at school, the doggy plays with me. On weekends, the doggy of course belongs to Daddy!"

Speaking of this, Liang Yan wilted again! This morning, the doggy went out with Daddy for a trip, and everything changed — from now on, her doggy could only stay at school on weekends!

Seeing Liang Yan looking downcast, Su Yu steered the topic back. "Huo Huo, how many sets of clothes do your dolls have? Are they all little dresses?"

"Nope! My dolls have a thousand sets of clothes, and eight hundred of them are dresses!"

Tang Can was shocked. "That's still not a lot?"

She didn't even have that many clothes herself!

Su Yu was impressed. "Huo Huo, you're really patient!"

【Not only did she change that many outfits, she even used a camera to record the pairings, and would go look through them when she couldn't remember — absolutely true love!】

Liang Yan was very happy to be praised by Su Yu, smiling goofily. "Hehe!"

Tang Can still didn't quite believe there were that many clothes. "Can we go see your dolls and the dolls' clothes?"

"Of course!"

Liang Yan was very generous!

After they went to the Liang Family to see the dolls and the dolls' clothes, Zhu Xueheng, who had been waiting in the mall's lounge, would rather have followed his daughter back himself!

"What do you mean?"

He was on good terms with Su Xi, which was why he had the mall's manager invite an artist from Hua Jing Entertainment. Now the Agent told him the artist had run off and asked him to request Ji Yan to save the show? Why didn't the Agent use his own brain and think — if he could invite Ji Yan, would he still want his artist?

Zhang Yi's face turned bright red — it was the first time he'd been backstabbed by an artist under his own management!

The artist bailing at the last minute made him very angry, but the artist did have a legitimate reason and had even given him a solution. He could only thicken his skin and ask the person in charge here to negotiate with Ji Yan. A senior from the same company stepping in to save the show was a perfectly normal thing. Moreover, Ji Yan had been away from the public for so long that her first commercial event would generate substantial traffic — very beneficial for the mall.

Zhu Xueheng instructed his assistant and the mall manager, "Say it exactly as it is, no need to cover anything up. If the fans don't believe it, release the footage of this Agent negotiating with us. From now on, we won't work with that artist or any of this Agent's artists."

"President Zhu! Getting Ji Yan to save the show is all benefit and no harm for the mall — it's great publicity!"

Zhang Yi wanted to analyze the pros and cons with Zhu Xueheng in greater detail and get him to retract this blacklisting, but he was stopped by bodyguards!

Zhu Xueheng ignored the bubble-brained Zhang Yi and went straight home.

The mall manager was sharper than Zhang Yi. Zhu Xueheng's devotion to his daughter and his desire for her to inherit the family business had already spread throughout the entire group. Personally, Ji Yan was the mother of the eldest young lady's good friend. Professionally, Ji Yan was the mother of another group's heir — her status was no longer on the same level as an artist's.

The manager, fearing that this muddle-headed Agent and the artist who had bailed at the last minute might stir up trouble, directly broadcast the surveillance footage of Zhang Yi losing his temper at his assistant and phoning the artist in the lounge on every screen in the mall.

The surveillance footage had timestamps — in such a short time, there was no way to fake it!

Those videos were enough to prove to everyone that the party at fault this time was the artist, not the organizer!

The fans both offline and online were dumbfounded when they got this news!

They had charged into battle for their idol, even preparing to stand up against capital for him — so what was their idol doing?

Also, what did it mean that he skipped the event to accompany his girlfriend to a prenatal checkup?

Wasn't he single?

Zhang Yi exploded when he saw the video!

"You're invading our privacy!"

"I'm just following the contract! If you think there's a problem, you can sue — we will compensate according to the law!"

The manager was thankful that after their group had changed presidents, they had placed special emphasis on building up the legal department — from top to bottom, whenever needed, one could apply to the legal department for support!

He wasn't afraid of Zhang Yi at all!

The manager looked at Zhang Yi with a solemn expression on the surface, but in his heart he was thinking about how to file a little report to President Zhu! A tumor like Zhang Yi must not be allowed to affect the relationship between the two families! He absolutely wasn't worried that their Zhu Clan's lawyers couldn't beat the Su Clan's lawyers!

Zhang Yi couldn't afford to keep entangling with the manager — he needed to find the PR department to suppress the heat and come up with a suitable plan. This matter absolutely must not blow up!

Splendid Scenery's PR department wasn't stupid either — they had received Young Master Su's afternoon tea money, so of course they were on Young Master Su's side. This matter was reported to Wang Jun De by the PR department at the first opportunity.

This matter wasn't big, but it wasn't small either. This collaboration already involved the relationship between the heads of two groups, and on top of that, a company artist had schemed against Ji Yan — Wang Jun De wasn't in a good position to handle either of these two matters. He directly called Su Xi to ask for instructions.

Meanwhile, at the Zhu household, Ji Yan heard her phone ring, opened Hot Search, and could tell at a glance who was trying to trip her up.

Tang Tang glanced at it, then opened her own phone and quickly skimmed through it. "Her methods are truly despicable!"

The Xu family solemnly held a recognition banquet for a granddaughter on the special day of New Year's Day, which was enough to prove Ji Yan's weight in the Xu family. Even if Ji Tianlin's status and position were far worse than before, Ji Yan, the favored Xu family granddaughter, was still a hundred times better than Ji Xiaoling, a Ji Family young lady whose status in the industry depended entirely on Ji Tianlin.

"Despicable but effective — good thing we ran fast!"

Tang Tang nodded. "This time it really killed two birds with one stone!"

Tang Tang looked with satisfaction at the dizzy Tang Can, who was trying to find two identical dresses. "I've already had someone find more doll dresses and jewelry to send over — I hope Huo Huo likes them."

Ji Yan looked at Su Yu, who was studying the photos. "What a great idea. I'll have the Zhu family's chefs prepare — I hear Shandong steamed buns can be made into all sorts of shapes. When they've played enough, let the three of them make a few steamed bun dolls."

The more time they spent occupied with this, the less they'd have those weird, mother-taxing or aunt-taxing ideas!

After Su Yu finished studying the photos, she heard that a chef would make steamed bun dolls for them. Curious, she sat obediently to the side and watched.

Liang Yan and Tang Can were more enthusiastic than Su Yu — they wanted to make a doll they liked with their own hands.

When Zhu Xueheng returned, what he saw was his precious daughter with a face covered in flour.

"What are you doing?"

"I'm making steamed bun dolls with the chef uncle! Daddy, when my dolls are done steaming, I'll share one with you to eat!"

Zhu Xueheng, who didn't even like eating steamed buns, looked at the dough that was the size of his fist. He felt he had no way of digesting his daughter's love for him.

"Sweetie, this steamed bun — isn't it a tiny bit big?"

Liang Yan looked at the little round ball in her hand. "Nope, it's very small! This is just the doll's body — I haven't added the head yet!"

Zhu Xueheng: If she actually adds the head, I won't finish it in two meals!

"Steamed buns get very big after they're steamed." Seeing his daughter's bewildered little expression, Zhu Xueheng directly pointed at the chef's position. "Look — the dolls the chef uncle made aren't that big. You can learn from him!"

Liang Yan's eyes lit up. "I get it!"
