Chapter 83: Full-scale Boss Has Become the Top Streamer In the Entertainment Industry
Chapter 83: The Little Fox Dares to Tease Her Uncle
Since she wasn’t angry anymore...
Would she still ignore him after receiving a work invitation this time?
Nan Yuanxi pondered for a moment. Walking alongside her out of the venue, he finally broke the silence, his deep gaze fixed ahead. "Ah Xu, the variety show I’m preparing, From Scratch, is about to start filming."
Seeing her formidable uncle now acting a little cautious, Yan Zhixu felt a pang of pity mixed with amusement.
Pretending not to catch his hint, she responded casually, “Oh, good luck with it. Wishing you sky-high ratings.”
Nan Yuanxi’s stride faltered slightly. The suppressed menace in his demeanor briefly surfaced before he forced it down again. "Well, as it happens, we’re still short a few people."
Yan Zhixu kept her gaze forward, her tongue grazing her perfectly shaped lips, amusement flickering in her eyes. Her voice was cool and nonchalant. "You’re so famous—there’s no shortage of stars lining up for your show."
She wasn’t exaggerating.
Her uncle’s variety shows were always creative and engaging, perfectly tailored to audience tastes. Each one became a massive hit.
Established stars wanted to join, while less popular celebrities hoped for a chance to revive their careers.
To the industry, her uncle was a golden ticket. There was no such thing as a shortage of participants.
Nan Yuanxi: "..."
It seemed his niece had entirely missed his point.
He frowned deliberately, pretending to struggle. "The one I’m thinking of has quite the temper."
Yan Zhixu scoffed lightly. "Haven’t you heard the saying? ‘If this one doesn’t work out, the next will be better.’ You might even find someone more exceptional.”
"..."
He had just been admiring her growth, thinking she was no longer as clueless as before. But now it seemed she was as oblivious as ever.
A trace of indulgence mixed with mild exasperation flickered in Nan Yuanxi’s gaze as he looked at her. "Ah Xu..."
At that moment, he caught the playful glint in her eyes and the slyness in her smile. A vein on his forehead twitched.
“You little fox. Getting bolder, aren’t you? Even daring to tease your uncle now.”
His aura surged, fierce and intimidating like a war god ready to crush anyone who opposed him.
But Yan Zhixu remained completely unfazed. Instead, she looked almost unnaturally calm, the corners of her lips lifting in a smirk. “Since you’ve asked, Uncle, how could I possibly refuse?”
Unlike the otherworldly girl before her, she didn’t view accepting resources as an insult to her abilities or efforts.
"..."
The moment she spoke, all the menace in Nan Yuanxi’s aura dissipated completely.
This little fox was becoming increasingly adept at reading people and controlling their emotions.
The familiar spark in her demeanor was back—it was as though the niece he knew had returned.
He rubbed his temples. “Ah Xu, when you have time, go visit your grandparents, your older brother, and Ze Lin. What happened before wasn’t your fault—don’t let it weigh on you.”

At his words, the smile on Yan Zhixu’s face faded. Guilt clouded her eyes, and a dull ache tugged at her heart.
She remained silent, continuing to walk forward.
Sensing her shift in mood, Nan Yuanxi refrained from pushing further, worried it might backfire.
When they reached the exit and prepared to part ways, Yan Zhixu looked up at the setting sun. The clouds on the horizon were tinged red, and the warm, gentle light bathed her in comfort.
“Uncle, I understand. I’ll go back.”
The mess left behind by the otherworldly girl was truly overwhelming.
Thinking of how Ze Lin had suffered because of her neglect, a deep frown creased Yan Zhixu’s brow, and an aura of displeasure surrounded her.
Nan Yuanxi’s gaze softened, touched with a rare warmth. “Is this the first time in two years that you’ve called me ‘Uncle’?”
Ever since Yan Zhixu had entered the entertainment industry, her relationship with the family had grown increasingly distant.
If she didn’t go back soon, her parents might just disown him for failing to bring her home.
Shaking his head with a quiet laugh, he muttered, “A little fox is still a little fox.”
Being foolish was only a temporary phase. After all, neither the Nan family nor the Yan family would produce someone truly foolish.
