"Come, eat more shrimp. You’re so thin, you really need to nourish yourself. These are Antarctic shrimp air-freighted from abroad. How do they taste?" Lady Ye warmly hosted Ye Yuwei. Eating one shrimp equaled a week’s worth of meal expenses for her. The shrimp were truly delicious, but they lost their flavor once in her mouth. Ye Yuwei nodded lightly, "Mmm, this is the best thing I’ve ever eaten, thank you, ma’am." There was something about the way the girl spoke that inexplicably tugged at the heartstrings. Lady Ye sighed and stroked her hair, "Come and have meals with us more often when you have time. Xiaoxiao is not home, and I’m dreadfully bored by myself. Come and keep me company." At that moment, the television began broadcasting the noontime news, highlighting the typhoon in Jiangzhou. This typhoon was said to be the strongest in fifty years, yet it had caused no casualties. Reporters conducted on-site interviews and discovered that the people held Mayor Yan in high esteem, crediting him for their safety. Several hundred residents of Shuiyue Dongtian Community spontaneously gathered in front of the city government to present banners of gratitude, wanting to thank Mayor Yan personally for saving their lives. The scene was spectacular. Ye Yuwei sighed, "This Mayor Yan is truly remarkable. The people love him so much. Good officials like him are rare these days." Lady Ye glanced at the television with a smile tugging at the corner of her mouth. Rumors were already circulating that Mayor Yan was returning, having ended this episode on a high note. Upon his return, he would only climb higher. It seemed that change was coming to the Capital City. Then a scene appeared on the screen: a girl rushed out of a building on the verge of collapse, carrying an elderly woman with white hair on her back. The image in front of the crumbling building was incredibly heart-wrenching. With a "thump," the girl kneeled on the ground, her gaze piercing straight through the camera as if she could see into the very depths of the viewers’ souls. The stark contrast of black and white struck a chord in the heart. "The girl in the picture is named Ji Yunya, the brightest pearl in this disaster. With her frail body, she upheld hope for an elderly person’s twilight years, never abandoning or giving up, embodying the ideal of dignity and equality. She is a role model for the youth to learn from..." The news anchor’s passionate voice spread to every corner of the restaurant. Ye Yuwei was aware of the girl from the news. She wasn’t a celebrity but had become very popular on the internet. Her father’s issue with the Kang sisters had just cooled down when she made even bigger news. Compared to Yun Shen’s scandals, Ji Yunya had outshone everyone—praised by mayors, officials, and even party media. Now, she was even featured in the country’s most influential news. All that for saving one person; the praise seemed exaggerated. Thɪs chapter is updated by noᴠelfire.net What she didn’t know was that the current social atmosphere desperately needed this positive energy. Conveniently, Ji Yunya fit the higher-ups’ image requirements in both appearance and character. Facing a natural disaster and already having a certain influence, polishing her image and amplifying her promotion could set an example for the youth. Even if not Ji Yunya, someone else would have emerged, but the impact would have been different. Indeed, only Ji Yunya could resonate so strongly among the youth. The effort was worth double the outcome. "This girl, I’ve heard she’s a rich second generation too. It’s rare to see such a kind heart in today’s rich second generation," Ye Yuwei said with a smile. Lady Ye snorted softly, a hint of mockery flashing in her eyes. Kind hearted? Everyone was fooled by that young lady. If she was kind, Xiaoxiao wouldn’t have been sent to South Korea. However—she watched the old lady being interviewed on screen, effusively praising the girl, and slightly narrowed her eyes. The girl was interesting, risking her life for a good reputation, making it impossible for others to even question her, a true madwoman indeed. But undeniably, if she succeeded, the ensuing benefits would be manifold, such as being fought over by powerful and official families to become a daughter-in-law... How wonderful it would be if this girl were her daughter, sparing her so much concern. Unfortunately, she was Ji Lanyi’s daughter... "Fame is a double-edged sword. Used improperly, it can be deadly," Lady Ye said cryptically. Yuwei, not fully grasping the meaning, bowed her head and continued eating quietly. "Thud thud thud," Ning Zijin, wearing high heels, came down from the second floor. Without even a greeting, as if she hadn’t seen the two of them, she quickly walked out in her high heels. The carefully made-up Ning Zijin was both glamorous and commanding, capturing attention wherever she went. Her presence was simply beyond the newly emerging Ye Yuwei’s comparison.
