Chapter 1842: Don't Interact with Him Too Much

“Yes, yes… But isn’t that act supposed to be for outsiders? How could it be used on you, Sister Yao? No matter where I am, my heart is always… half with you.”

Chu Yao chuckled, “One more shot and it’ll be too much, calm down.”

Zhang Zhao really quieted down and even made a motion of wiping his mouth automatically.

If the crew were here at this moment, they’d be shocked.

Though Zhang Zhao never relied on Shu Jin’s backing to lord over others, he never bullied anyone, but whoever dared to bother him even a little, he’d return it a hundredfold. No wonder his nickname is the Tibetan Mastiff.

Even Shu Jin couldn’t completely restrain him, yet in front of Chu Yao, he’s as obedient as a puppy.

“Sister Yao, are you here at the crew for something? I’m right here; if you need me, just say the word, and I’ll handle it for you.”

Chu Yao said, “No worries, just here to pick up a little sister.”

“Then your sister is…” His eyes instinctively slid towards Nan Jiaojiao.

Chu Yao didn’t stop him and let him look, but she raised her hand to place it on Nan Jiaojiao’s head, gently ruffled her hair, “This little sister of mine isn’t very savvy or slick. I need to protect her; she was always by my side before, only recently I let her out to gain experience.”

When she raised her hand, Zhang Zhao consciously looked away, and he moaned in regret, “No wonder when I interacted with Jiaojiao, I felt closeness. It’s all because of you. Rest assured, with me here, I’ll protect her; no one dares to bully her!”

Chu Yao was waiting for this line, and she agreed smoothly, “Then I’ll leave it to you.”

“No trouble at all!”

Realizing they were about to leave, he proactively offered to escort them.

Before getting in the car, Chu Yao said, “Little Zhang Zhao, you’ve been quite active on the headlines recently; the novelty will wear off.”

Zhang Zhao’s heart skipped a beat, “I was just bluffing. I’m sticking with Shu Jin now, someone messed with her, I had to return it. Rest assured, it won’t blow up, the small actor already apologized to me, and as the heat gradually subsides, nobody will remember me.”

Chu Yao gave him a profound glance, “That’s good.”

She opened the car door and let Nan Jiaojiao in first. She personally drove, Zhang Zhao wanted to open the car door for her but was blocked by Chu Yao. He then held the door handle and gently pushed the door shut.

“We’re off, see you if fate permits.”

“Alright, Sister Yao, drive safely.”

Chu Yao casually raised her hand, holding the steering wheel, drove the car out from the parking space.

Nan Jiaojiao peered at the rearview mirror, clearly seeing Zhang Zhao exhale, patting his chest with a look of relief.

She popped a candy into her mouth and said, “You’re so fierce, everyone is scared of you.”

Chu Yao glanced at her sideways, “He’s not afraid of me. When he first joined the industry, he landed in my economic team. Not long after, he showed outstanding ability but got sabotaged. I had Sister Mi help him out a few times; he knows I was behind it and has always been grateful to me. He’s actually a nice guy, just a bit cunning. What he did just now was just to amuse me. If there was another person watching, he’d still cajole me, but more confidently.”

“Is there really a knack to all this?”

“Zhang Zhao is quite smooth. He doesn’t mind me having seen his embarrassing moments in his early days. He can still greet me cheerfully even when we meet. He has almost no superficial enemies, but many secretly resent him yet can’t do anything about him. It’s best to keep your distance from people like him.”
