The fact that Junyi's official Weibo account was able to add extra prizes to Ji Mingshu's giveaway so quickly was because it had his approval.
In addition, he had been looking at Ji Mingshu's Weibo posts these past few days, and he had also carefully read the comments below the posts.
One comment, which didn't have a very high number of likes, caught his attention.
Why is there a discrepancy between the number of Weibo posts posted by the CEO's wife and the number that is actually visible to the public?
Someone replied below: "That's because she set some of her Weibo posts to 'visible only to friends' or 'visible only to herself.'"
Cen Sen silently memorized the new knowledge points.
That said, Ji Mingshu's promotional efforts were very effective. "Impressions of Old Streets," which was originally unknown, attracted a large number of young viewers because of her.
People initially just wanted to admire Ji Mingshu's stunning looks on the show, but after watching one episode, they found that the documentary wasn't so boring after all.
Moreover, Ji Mingshu is not just a fancy-looking person who casually tries to impress others in the professional field of interior design.
The show reveals that she is very thoughtful and opinionated. What is most commendable is that, in the process from "The Designer" to this documentary, she has also learned to consider others.
In "The Designer", Ji Mingshu is completely dominant and very domineering towards her team members.
In this show, she's the one leading the redesigns. The other designers, less outgoing than her, are often led along by her. But whenever this happens, she stops and switches roles to listen, seeking others' opinions. This is very endearing.
The show aired two episodes in a row for its premiere. While the first episode's content was rather hard-hitting, the second episode's content was more down-to-earth, as it focused on the renovation of residential buildings.
The episode begins with a slice-of-life video of the neighborhood residents of Shanghai, showing them buying groceries, haggling over prices, and playing mahjong. Once the theme of renovation is introduced, conflicts arise.
The elderly men and women argued heatedly over the redevelopment of half a square meter of public land.
Moreover, their argument was quite thoughtful, with each side sticking to their own point of view and refusing to give in. Ji Mingshu, the interior designer, stood in the corner for a long time, unable to get a word in edgewise, her face showing weakness, pitifulness, and helplessness.
The number of comments on the screen surged rapidly during this segment:
[Why is the CEO's wife suddenly so cute, hahaha!]
[I've figured it out, this is actually a dry humor documentary. *winks emoji*]
[The CEO's wife: I'm a little confused. Who am I? Where am I? What did I do wrong?]
[CEO's wife: Ladies and gentlemen, please stop arguing! I'll buy this half-square meter!!]
After its premiere, the program received high praise, with viewership and discussion exceeding the producers' expectations.
Ji Mingshu gained even more fans, quietly reaching three million followers.
Meanwhile, the online dating reality show featuring ordinary people, which Gu Kaiyang participated in, has already aired for three weeks.
Dating shows naturally generate more topics for discussion than documentaries, and the first episode garnered significant online buzz.
In the two episodes that aired in the first two weeks, Gu Kaiyang was neither liked by the male guests nor very popular with the audience.
Because Gu Kaiyang doesn't talk much, she often observes silently. While the other female guests would express their feelings for the men they liked, she acted like a complete nobody, as if she didn't need a boyfriend or that she didn't like any of them.
However, after the background was revealed in the latest episode of the third show, Gu Kaiyang's image underwent a complete 180-degree reversal.
This unassuming young lady is actually the deputy editor-in-chief of Zero Degrees!
Some viewers also discovered a little surprise in the behind-the-scenes footage: the fourth male lead will appear in the next episode, and he seems to have a romantic storyline with Gu Kaiyang.
Online, people are digging deep into the clues and discussing the details with great enthusiasm, but the program's progress is actually far behind the actual progress.
At the end of the recording, Gu Kaiyang did not successfully hold hands with Zhou Jiaheng, and she rejected his final confession.
Of course, the reality is not like that—
In fact, Gu Kaiyang had a rather good impression of Zhou Jiaheng, the fourth male member who had recently joined the group. However, Zhou Jiaheng wasn't interested in Gu Kaiyang.
Zhou Jiaheng likes gentle, petite girls, while Gu Kaiyang, an independent and strong career woman, is completely the opposite of his type. They can be friends, but not lovers.
As for the male's confession at the end of the show and the female's rejection, it was only to save face for the female and was part of a script agreed upon in advance by the production team.
After the program ended, Gu Kaiyang was depressed for several days.
Jiang Chun couldn't understand: "Why follow the script? Just accept his confession! Completely confuse him!!!"
Gu Kaiyang: [?]
Gu Kaiyang: [Sister, that was too rough.]
Like Jiang Chun, Ji Mingshu couldn't understand it either. Her best friend was the best woman in the world! How could any man not be attracted to her?! Especially since that man was Zhou Jiaheng! She couldn't figure it out and secretly planned to go to his company to cause him trouble.
Gu Kaiyang was practically a mind reader to her. Before she could even make a move, he bluntly told her not to take revenge on Zhou Jiaheng, saying things like that matters of the heart shouldn't be forced.
Ji Mingshu was still resentful, but since he couldn't cause trouble for Zhou Jiaheng, he could only go after Cen Sen.
Cen Sen was unaware of the progress between Zhou Jiaheng and Gu Kaiyang. He was inexplicably criticized for two days and thought Ji Mingshu was in a bad mood because she was about to get her period.
Ji Mingshu's period always dragged on for a week. Knowing that he couldn't be near her for a week, Cen Sen arranged intensive aerobic exercise before her period.
Ji Mingshu felt pretty awesome for digging his own hole and burying himself alive.
When she woke up in the morning, she was completely exhausted. Cen Sen had already prepared breakfast, but she was still paralyzed and needed him to help her brush her teeth, wash her face, and get dressed.
Even when she went downstairs for breakfast, she would habitually whine and ask for a hug, and she was carried downstairs in a shameful position with her legs wrapped around Cen Sen's waist, face to face.
Since they were already this clingy, she didn't mind being even more so. She sat on Cen Sen's lap the entire time during breakfast, playing on her phone while Cen Sen fed her.
She was eating well, and Cen Sen seemed to enjoy the feeding process. But after Ji Mingshu took a sip of pure milk, she suddenly felt a bit dizzy. The faint milky smell made her stomach churn instantly. Without saying a word of explanation, she put down her phone, got out of bed, and rushed into the bathroom.
Cen Sen didn't think much of it, assuming she had diarrhea. He glanced at her phone on the table out of the corner of his eye and picked it up to look at it.
At this moment, Ji Mingshu's phone is currently on her Weibo page, where you can see that she has just posted a new Weibo post that is only visible to herself.
I love my husband so much! I love it when he hugs me! /shy/shy/shy
Cen Sen paused for a moment, recalling the question he had seen in her comments before, and subconsciously scrolled down.
[How can that big jerk not like our Gugu! I'm so angry! Birds of a feather flock together, so Cen Shi Sen Sen is a big jerk too!]
[Ugh, why am I not pregnant yet? qvq]
[Third day of business trip, missing him, missing him, missing him tvt]
Sometimes I feel so lucky, and I hope we can stay together forever!
...
The earliest private Weibo post that could only be seen by herself can be traced back to when she confessed her love during the Chinese New Year. Right next to it was her slightly more restrained Weibo post on New Year's Eve that was made public.
【Ahhhhh, he said he likes me! This must be the happiest day of my life! I, Ji Shi Shu Shu, must be the happiest fairy in the world!!!】
Upon seeing this, Cen Sen smiled.
Author's Note: Baby Canary: Stop laughing, I'm about to vomit bile!
Chapter 86
About half a minute later, Cen Sen realized that the sound coming from the direction of the bathroom was not right, so he put down his phone and went closer.
Before he could even raise his hand, Ji Mingshu pushed open the door, her face pale.
The water was gushing from the sink, and she was still supporting herself on the edge of the sink with one hand, looking so weak that she seemed like she could die on the spot at any moment.
Cen Sen stepped forward and pulled her into his arms, asking in a deep voice, "Are you feeling unwell? I'll take you to the hospital for a check-up."
Ji Mingshu leaned into his arms, her slender white arms loosely wrapped around his waist, her voice hoarse, "No need, it's that milk, the taste is too strong, it's awful to drink in the morning."
Cen Sen gently stroked her thin back. A thought flashed through his mind, but he didn't know much about it and couldn't be sure, so he didn't speak up.
In comparison, women are much more sensitive to vomiting, especially Ji Mingshu, who had been silently anxious for a long time about why she wasn't pregnant. So, the first thing she thought of when she felt nauseous was morning sickness.
But she knew that if she voiced this guess now, Cen Sen would definitely accompany her to the hospital for a checkup. He was supposed to discuss new investment in the South Bay project today, and what if he stood her up because of this and the deal fell through?
Moreover, she had little confidence in her guess. You know, when she fainted from dieting, she thought she had an incurable disease. Maybe it was just an upset stomach or something. It would be so embarrassing to make a big deal out of nothing and cause a misunderstanding.
Thinking about it, Ji Mingshu deliberately snuggled into Cen Sen's arms and complained coquettishly, "I don't want milk for breakfast tomorrow. I'll just have juice or coffee. Pure milk tastes really cloying. When I was in high school, I drank a glass of pure milk before the flag-raising ceremony once, and I felt so nauseous that I had to go to the bathroom to throw up before the ceremony was even over."
Since she had already said so much, Cen Sen found it even more difficult to voice his guess.
As if nothing had happened, Ji Mingshu casually turned the page and watched Cen Sen leave for work. Her heart was pounding. Leaning against the door, she furtively sent a message to her friends' group chat—
Sisters, you might be becoming godmothers!
Before Gu Kaiyang and Jiang Chun could even express their surprise, she explained, "Of course, it's not necessarily true. It's just that this morning when I drank milk, I found the milk smelled very strong, which made me feel nauseous, and then I threw up once."
Gu Kaiyang: [Hmm... Is this normal milk?]
Ji Mingshu: [...]?
Ji Mingshu: [Am I so stingy that I have to drink spoiled milk? Do you think I'm that miserly boss of your magazine?]
Gu Kaiyang: [That's not what I meant.]
Gu Kaiyang: [The milky smell and stuff really makes people think too much, you know?]
Ji Mingshu has been a little too innocent lately, and it wasn't until Gu Kaiyang hinted at it that she suddenly realized what was going on.
Ji Mingshu: [I don't know, please shut up.]
Ji Mingshu: [I've reported this online harassment.]
Jiang Chun was originally a simple, harmless, ignorant little goose, but after staying in this group for a long time, she was deeply corrupted by the two of them. Now, she is no longer surprised by this level of conversation. She even put on the airs of a professional gynecologist and seriously inquired about Ji Mingshu's recent physical condition and the frequency of her sexual activity.
Ji Mingshu's answer was vague, and she added hesitantly at the end, "It might just be an upset stomach."
Gynecologist Xiao Tu'e made the definitive diagnosis: "What gastrointestinal discomfort? You're probably pregnant. Do you think you're a baby, spitting up milk for no reason?"
Gu Kaiyang: [She probably thinks she can make you vomit milk because she's so cute.]
Ji Mingshu: [Gu Kaiyang]
Ji Mingshu: [Shut up warning x2!]
The three of them bickered for a while, but soon returned to the topic of morning sickness. Jiang Chun and Gu Kaiyang both thought she was pregnant and advised her to go to the hospital for a check-up, or else to buy a pregnancy test.
Ji Mingshu felt that Cen Sen should accompany her to the hospital, but buying a pregnancy test was a feasible option.
She thought for a moment, went upstairs to change her clothes, put on sunglasses, and sneaked out.
Perhaps Ji Mingshu's running away from home had left a deep shadow on the driver, because when he saw her wearing sunglasses and looking a little nervous, he couldn't help but get nervous too, and kept trying to get information out of her along the way, asking her where she was going and what she was doing.
Ji Mingshu, of course, couldn't tell the truth and gave a perfunctory answer.
The driver was increasingly convinced that the president's wife was up to her old tricks again. After dropping the person off at the mall, he immediately called Zhou Jiaheng to report the situation.
