Five years of growth have made Jiang Lai famous, and at the same time, many fans have come to ship her with Lin Zhi, who is quite jealous of her.
It seems like no matter what answer I give, I'll have to go home and kneel on durians, right?
Jiang Lai pondered for a moment, then said to the camera, "Actually, I prefer working with actresses. In today's terms... well... who doesn't like to be close to beautiful women?"
The reporter laughed heartily: "You really are a 5G surfer! Can you give me an example?"
Jiang Lai: "Actually, I would prefer to work with our boss."
Reporter: "Oh? Who is it?"
Jiang Lai covered her mouth and laughed, "That's a different price."
The reporter knew when to stop: "Let's read the next comment."
Jiang Lai: "What is Lai Lai's ideal type?"
After reading it, Jiang Lai looked at the camera and said, "My ideal type is also like our boss."
The reporter lamented, "If only we had known it was pre-selected as the third commenter."
Jiang Lai smiled, her eyes never leaving the camera, full of affection: "No need, my boss is Lin Zhi."

Chapter 92 Extra 1
Ten years have passed, and the once naive and ignorant teenagers have grown into pillars of the nation, shining brightly in various industries.
You two love each other boldly, and leave the rest to us.
The teenagers who once made outrageous statements have fulfilled their promises, and same-sex marriage law was finally enacted this year.
This should be a good thing for homosexuals, but no one dares to be the first.
[@Actress Jiang Lai: Today is our 15th anniversary together, and we got our marriage certificate!]
[@Lin Zhi: Thank you for being there, the rest of my life is with you.]
The accompanying picture shows two women holding up their marriage certificates, smiling brightly in the sunlight.
Weibo crashed instantly. Although there had been rumors that Jiang Lai was gay, no one had provided any concrete evidence. Every time such news broke, it eventually faded away.
She won three Best Actress awards, one Best Actress in a TV series, and countless other minor awards in her early thirties. She far surpasses her peers, and what makes people most envious is that her awards are all genuine.
Following her lead, many closeted celebrities in the entertainment industry have started showing off their marriage certificates.
Standing in the sunlight, receiving blessings from everyone feels really good.
A variety show, during the punishment segment—
Host: "As per the initial requirements, the losing team has to send one person to call the person at the top of their contact list and borrow money in a coquettish tone, without revealing that they are recording a TV show!"
The host looked at Jiang Lai's team and asked, "Why don't you send one person out?"
The group was discussing how Jiang Lai's name was all over the recording studio. The script clearly intended for another actress to appear in this segment, but Jiang Lai's popularity was so high that the production team had to change the script at the last minute to boost ratings.
The director's voice came through the host's earpiece. She was somewhat embarrassed, worried that she might offend Jiang Lai, and hesitated about how to start the conversation.
"Are all the people here Jiang Lai's fans?" the host subtly hinted.
The group of people were all very clever, and they quietly asked Jiang Lai for her opinion.
Jiang Lai is a big shot in the entertainment industry. Even disregarding her background, she is someone you can't afford to mess with.
Jiang Lai nodded, completely unconcerned: "I'll do it."
The host was overjoyed and silently kowtowed several times to the great Buddha.
The staff brought Jiang Lai's phone up. She took the phone, opened her contacts, and as the dial tone sounded, the scene fell silent. Some people who wanted to cough swallowed it back.
It must be Lin Zhi!
It must be Lin Zhi!
They thought that since Jiang Lai officially announced their relationship, apart from that one photo, the public had never seen the two of them together again.
Looking at same-sex couples in the entertainment industry, Jiang Lai and Lin Zhi are an absolute match. Even their identities are so appealing: an older CEO and a younger actress. How many couples like this are there in the entertainment industry? It's like something out of a novel!!
The sound of Tianlai Zhi rises majestically!
After about ten seconds of ringing, the phone was answered, and a woman's lazy, casual voice rang out, which everyone in the recording studio heard clearly.
"Lai Lai~ Is work finished?"
Her voice was so soothing, it was as if I could see a woman lying seductively in bed in her pajamas.
Jiang Lai swallowed hard as she held her phone. She suddenly felt a pang of regret, regretting letting so many people hear her wife's voice.
The teleprompter displayed the lines she was supposed to say.
Jiang Lai frowned slightly, hesitated for a long time, and then said, "Sister~ I'd like to borrow a little money from you, is that alright~"
If someone else had said this, it would have sounded nauseatingly cheesy, but Jiang Lai's words didn't evoke that feeling. Although she's in her early thirties, she's maintained herself almost as well as she did when she first debuted.
Lin Zhi remained silent for a long time on the other end of the phone.
The teleprompter lit up again. Jiang Lai glanced at it, smiled, and said, "Please~ Please~ Please, please~"
Lin Zhi gagged and asked, "Are you doing this for a TV show?"
The host quickly waved his hand, signaling Jiang Lai to explain.
Jiang Lai gave an OK sign and said, "No, it just ended, and I'm getting ready to go home now."
Lin Zhi: "How much?"
Jiang Lai hesitated for a moment, then looked at the teleprompter again: "One million."
Because the microphone was pointed directly at the receiver, everyone heard Lin Zhi gasp and try to suppress their laughter.
"This isn't your ransom, is it? You're only worth a million?"
"It's not ransom! I need the money for a reason."
"What's the use?"
This time, the teleprompter didn't light up again, which was obviously intentional on the part of the production team.
Jiang Lai didn't hesitate at all and said directly, "I'll have a child for you."
Backstage, Anna slapped her forehead. She was so sorry for following Jiang Lai.
It's unclear from which year it started, but Jiang Lai's "true nature was revealed."
She angrily confronted her haters at the airport, declaring, "Don't look at me with that ugly face, it makes me nauseous." Shortly afterward, she became a trending topic.
She made headlines again for not wanting to sit next to a scumbag at a red carpet event and went directly to the organizers to ask for a seat change.
As a mentor at the event, she encountered a poorly acting, tearful, and manipulative actress. She publicly confronted the actress, leaving her embarrassed and trending on social media once again.
During the show, male actors casually criticized female actors, and Jiang Lai once again verbally abused them mercilessly. At this point, Anna directly contacted the public relations department.
By this time, she could almost predict the trending topics after the show aired, and even came up with the headlines.
#Jiang Lai is pregnant#
These marketing accounts are known for making unfounded accusations and exaggerating their claims.
Lin Zhi was already used to her glib tongue, so she hummed in agreement and said, "Okay, I'll call you in a bit."
The audience erupted in uproar, shouting their displeasure at being force-fed dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing public displays of affection).
Hearing the voice, Lin Zhi asked, "Are you recording a program?"
Jiang Lai's upturned lips never faded: "Yes, you've been deceived."
Lin Zhi smiled helplessly and said with a doting tone, "My little darling, I really can't do anything with you."
Everyone present: We're full.
On the other end, Lin Zhi hung up the phone and randomly selected a song, the light and cheerful music echoing in the car.
The two people in the back seat were trembling. Jiang Lai's voice had just come through the Bluetooth speaker and they could hear it clearly, but Lin Zhi didn't think anything was wrong and continued to play it out loud.
The two were newly signed female artists of the company. They came from families with connections that ordinary people wouldn't dare to associate with, so they ended up working under Lin Zhi. In fact, the two were fans of Jiang Lai, but they never expected their first close encounter with their idol would be like this.
A slightly bolder girl asked, "Sister Lin, you knew Teacher Jiang was recording the show from the beginning, so why did you say that?"
Lin Zhi turned the steering wheel and looked up at the two people behind her through the rearview mirror: "There's no reason, I just want to assert my dominance."
The two people in the back seat: ...
Lin Zhi dropped the two off at their company, glanced at her watch, and said, "I have something to do, so I'll be leaving now."
The two bowed in unison and said respectfully, "Thank you for your hard work, Sister Lin."
Lin Zhi waved her hand, rolled up the car window, and drove onto the highway.
In the villa, the elderly couple sat on the sofa watching a TV series starring Jiang Lai. While others watched the plot, the two watched the acting.
Min Xuehua clicked her tongue and said, "It still doesn't work. Young people these days just don't have the same drive we had back then."
Jiang Chuanmin chuckled, his face crinkling with wrinkles: "If you ask me, we shouldn't have retired!"
"What? Should I direct another one for you?"
Jiang Chuanmin chuckled awkwardly: "That's a lie..."
The sound of a car driving in came from outside the villa. Min Xuehua paused the TV and went out to greet it.
As soon as the door opened, Lin Zhi walked in, carrying this year's newly released massage pillow.
