Wanting the ratings of "Gourmet Conquers the World" to surpass those of "Dreams Come True"? That’s simply a fantasy! Impossible, absolutely impossible!
“Nan Zhi, are you out of your mind? A show that’s already a flop—do you really think your joining can bring it back from the dead?” Zhuang Jingjing sneered without holding back.
“Exactly, exactly. You should know your own limits!”
“Maybe she’s upset about not being chosen by Director Liu or something. If her mind isn’t right, she should see a psychiatrist.”
“‘Gourmet Conquers the World’ probably can’t even find sponsors. How could it compare to ‘Dreams Come True’? Doesn’t she have any sense? She should stop dreaming and go home already! So pretentious!”
Nan Yao wanted exactly this effect. Now that everyone was witness, Nan Zhi couldn’t back out.
“Forget it, I was just speaking casually. Nan Zhi, don’t show off your abilities recklessly. Everyone knows food can’t beat dreams. You’re a newcomer; it’s better to stay humble.”
Nan Zhi cast a cold glance at the pretentious Nan Yao. “I keep my word.”
Nan Yao was confident she could beat Nan Zhi one hundred percent. No matter what, she wouldn’t leave the TV station.
Nan Zhi was different. That food show was a complete disaster. What skill did she have to resurrect it?

On the way back to the office, Xia Xi hesitated several times before speaking.
Nan Zhi knew what she wanted to say and smiled. “Do you think I’m being too impulsive?”
Xia Xi nodded. “We don’t stand a chance against them at all.”
Nan Zhi narrowed her eyes, her red lips curling. “I have a secret weapon!”
“Ah? What secret weapon? Come on, Nan Zhi, tell us!”
“Secret.”
Before leaving work, Nan Zhi received birthday wishes from Xia Xi and Zhang Yijun. They wanted to take her out to dinner, but Nan Zhi gently declined, saying she had to celebrate with her son that evening.
Although Nan Weiye didn’t care about her, she was not alone. She had a gift from her mother that arrived a few days ago, two dear best friends, Yanran and Yubing, and most importantly, her adorable little darling.
Nan Zhi left work on time for the first time since she started. In the elevator, she ran into colleagues from Nan Yao’s show. Everyone was dressed to the nines—women made up and wearing gowns, men in suits.
“Mrs. Nan is so lucky! I heard they reserved the Royal Court No.1 private room tonight. It holds a hundred people, super luxurious, and usually closed to the public, only hosting VIPs.”
“Tonight we’re all riding on Nan Yao’s coattails!”

“Yes, yes! Nan Yao must have saved the galaxy in her past life!”
“Being in the same department as Nan Yao is pure bliss. Other departments envy us so much!”
The elevator reached the ground floor. After those chattering colleagues finally left, Nan Zhi leisurely stepped out.
Although she kept telling herself she no longer cared about Nan Weiye’s attitude, her mother had loved him so much. She too longed for her father’s love, but in the end, it was all betrayal and exploitation.
He rode on the empire built by her grandfather to achieve fame and success, while she and her mother fell to nothing—
Nan Zhi closed her reddened eyes and told herself not to rush. What belonged to her and her mother, she would take back slowly!
Walking through the parking lot, she turned a corner and was suddenly hit by a strange, pungent smell. Realizing danger, she held her breath—but the world went black, and she quickly lost consciousness.
...
The first update is done. Guess who kidnapped Nan Zhi?
