Chapter 74 - Don’t Be So Superstitious (“ Ignore me today and I won't even give you the time of day tomorrow.”) (2)
Xu WanZhi purposefully slowed down her pace and walked at the very end by herself. Low and behold, she saw Chang XiaoYa run up to the director, nodded, bowed, and said, “Director, I am for sure staying for part II. I look forward to working together with you again.”
The director hasn’t been very nice to her ever since she had openly picked on Xu WanZhi with no regards to her own image. He had been saying from time to time that he needed her agent Zhang Xuan to come and straighten her out. Chang XiaoYa’s reputation dropped and her jobs in the future looked grim. Obviously, she wanted to try and hold onto “Blossoming Us”, which just might be her life-saving straw.
The director, on the other hand, was still blue from being turned down by Xu WanZhi. Hearing Chang XiaoYa’s words, he only tilted his head a bit and casted her a look before he said, almost as if he said with a hint of self-mockery and bitter smile, “In order to keep Xu WanZhi, the production team probably would have to spend every penny to hire her just to keep this series. I’m not sure if we will have money left over to hire you.”
Having heard that, Chang XiaoYa felt as though she was slapped in the face. Stunned, she stopped walking and stood where she was.
Xu WanZhi was pleased to hear that. She snickered and walked around Chang XiaoYa.
At that very moment, someone exited a car from a parking lot nearby and started walking toward Xu WanZhi. Xu WanZhi took a look from afar and it was Butler Lin of the Mu’s.
Butler Lin was an old lady and not as gossipy as Aunt Hu. She usually just came and go quietly and it was easy to forget that she was even there.
The only reason that Xu WanZhi remembered her was because Butler Lin was tidying up the offerings and incense burner when she walked passed the Mu’s family hall of worship on her way to Mu XiYuan.

Xu WanZhi had heard Mu ZhenYu mentioning it once that the old madam was in the habit of worshipping buddha. As Butler Lin was the one taking care of the buddha hall personally, Xu WanZhi gathered that this butler has the same habit as the old madam.
She had planned to get close to the old madam basing on her on her chanting and vegetarian habit; now that Butler Lin came on her own, it’s even better for her.
Before Butler Lin has even said a word, Xu WanZhi walked up to her quickly and greeted her in a friendly manner, “Hi, how are you doing?”
“Hi, Miss Xu. We meet again.” Even when she was outside of the Mu’s residence, she was still dressed very properly. She was older in age but, even so, she didn’t seem to have any extra weight on her in her suit. She was carrying a large bag in her left hand so she reached out her right to shake hand with Xu WanZhi. “The old madam has asked me to come look for you and thank you.”
Exactly how she had planned. Xu WanZhi smiled and asked, “Did XiYuan get better?”
The butler was a little surprised but nodded immediately. “The doctor sent by Miss Xu was miraculous. Second Young Master had some herbs that night and immediately gotten much better. He even had two bowls of rice. He had been getting better and better these last couple of days and can probably return to work tomorrow.”
Xu WanZhi nodded politely and said, “That’s good to hear.”
“The old madam had me bring these gifts to you to show her appreciation,” said the butler as she handed the bag into her toward Xu WanZhi. “Please accept her token of appreciation.”
Xu WanZhi took the over the white bag and looked. Printed on the outside of the beg was a signature in English script – “Tianna Chou”. Xu WanZhi’s eyes widened in surprise.
She didn’t even need to open the bag to know that it was a very fancy dress inside… Did everyone at the Mu’s had such high requirement for their clothing?
This one in her hand was the crème de crops of the crème de crops.
