Chapter 169: The Transformation

Chapter 169

Zhong Ruanxing returned home one day earlier than Song JinXing. When she came out of the airport, Song Shuling excitedly rushed up to her with a big bouquet of flowers in her arms: "Sister... No! Brother! You finally came back! I missed you so much!"

Zhong Ruanxing laughed and cried, took the flowers and hugged her: "It's only been more than twenty days."

Song Shuling whimpered: "That's different! It's still more intimate and reassuring to see you in person! I'm so happy to know that you two have changed back! Brother, don't leave again, just stay here, and marry my brother back, that would be perfect."

Zhong Ruanxing: "Does your brother know you are so rebellious?"

Song Shuling: "Hehe~" She affectionately held onto Zhong Ruanxing's arm: "Let's go home! I have greatly improved my cooking skills recently. I'll show you when we get back!"

The next day when Song JinXing returned, Song Shuling was still studying cake making methods from her little orange book in the courtyard, preparing to make some for Zhong Ruanxing. But she didn't go pick up her brother at the airport. At least she remembered and sent him a thoughtful WeChat message.

After reading his sister's perfunctory message, Song JinXing took the itinerary handed over by Ran Ting.

"Next, take a good rest for a few days first. After your vacation, run these business events, then you can choose a script and start shooting. By the way, the promotions for The Spy will start soon. It’s scheduled to premiere on May 1st, so you’ll have to go on a roadshow tour with the crew then. So your schedule in early and mid May has been left open for now."

The live variety show increased Zhong Ruanxing's popularity, and all kinds of business variety show invitations came one after another. The range of scripts she could choose from also greatly increased. Coupled with The Spy and The Murmuring airing this year, this year was definitely the most important period of career advancement for Zhong Ruanxing.

Taking advantage of the 20 plus days she was busy recording shows, Ran Ting also got two endorsements for her. Compared to Song's two commercial endorsements, these two endorsements have higher national popularity and universality, one is a cosmetic lipstick and the other is a fashion clothing brand. These were obtained relying on her own popularity.

The Song Group's previous business did not involve the entertainment industry. Even the entertainment company that Song Lecheng dabbled in was just for show without serious operation.

After changing back last time, Song JinXing had readjusted the company's business plans to incorporate the entertainment industry into the company's business scope. A successful businessman never fights an unprepared battle. Know yourself and know your enemy, you will win every battle.

Now looking at this work schedule with the eyes of a businessman, Song JinXing had removed all the low return small business events. Although Ran Ting was a manager, she never doubted her artist's decisions. Listening to Song JinXing's "lectures" along the way, she looked at her artist with increasing admiration.

When they arrived at Zhong’s neighborhood, Ran Ting felt that she had already sublimated herself. Under the teaching of her artist, her vision and realm had already surpassed that of her colleagues at the company! "You just rest assured and take your vacation! I'll rearrange the schedule according to your requirements and send it to you for review later. Call me if anything comes up."

Song JinXing nodded and declined the assistant's offer to send him home. He got out of the car with his luggage and went home.

Returning to the Zhong family again, he felt a sense of expectation and nostalgia in his heart.

Song JinXing called out to him, "Dad." His tone was very natural. He walked over and said, "Let me do it, I'll wash them."

Zhong Dad said in a low voice, "You just got back, go rest." After speaking, he quickly walked to the balcony with the sneakers, as if afraid that his daughter would snatch them from him.

Through the glass door of the living room, Song JinXing watched the silent and majestic figure on the balcony. It was as if a stream of warmth originated from his heart, flowing through his whole body, making him feel warm all over.

Zhong You stood barefoot in the bedroom hallway with a height chart sticker, shouting like a little horn: "Sister, come see if I’ve grown taller again!"

There was the sound of running water on the balcony. He laughed and walked towards the little horn.

At dinner, Zhong Dad broke the precedent by asking about his daughter's personal relationships: "What about that boyfriend of yours, are you still dating?"

Song JinXing remembered the lie he told at the hospital last time. Fortunately, he had rounded up the lie now, otherwise he really wouldn't know how to face Zhong Dad. He smiled and said, "Yes, we are doing great."

Zhong Dad: "..." He gave his daughter a disapproving look: "Then why did you go on a dating show? Xiao Song must feel bad seeing that."

Song JinXing smiled and said, "No, he doesn't mind these things."

Zhong Dad solemnly lectured his daughter: “Don’t take advantage of Xiao Song’s fondness of you and disregard his feelings. Dad can see that Xiao Song has a good temper and character, and he’s good to you too. If he was wronged, he definitely wouldn't show it. Since you are dating him, you should care more about him and consider his feelings."

After speaking, Zhong Dad was lost in thought for a few seconds, and finally made a decision: "In a couple days, ask Xiao Song if he has time to come home for a meal. Last time he took care of our whole family at the hospital, and I haven't thanked him yet. You two have been dating for so long, it’s about time he formally comes over to get acquainted. What do you think?"

Song JinXing felt that he had taken a little advantage and was selling cuteness. He put a piece of pork rib for Zhong Dad and nodded with a smile: “Okay, I’ll talk to her.”

Zhong Dad said, "Remember to ask Xiao Song what he likes to eat. Dad doesn't have much to show off, but at least I’ll make a table full of good food to treat him."

How could such a family fail to raise two suns, big and small, like Zhong Ruanxing and Zhong You?

How fortunate he was to have such a family again after losing one.

"Your star-level cooking skills are already awesome. She will definitely like it."
