Jiang Xiao and Zhou Xiulin’s honeymoon week passed, and surprisingly, Zhou Simu didn’t miss them too much. On the first day back from vacation, his grandparents accompanied him to kindergarten.
Zhou Simu brought chocolates for all the kids in his class and a few teachers. Each child received a gift, with girls getting Hello Kitty dolls and boys receiving Transformers toys.
“Simu, why did your mom and dad bring so many gifts after their wedding?” a classmate asked.
Zhou Simu looked proud and said, “That’s right. My dad is the prince, my mom is the princess, and I’m the little prince. Many, many guests cameā¦,” and he went on for more than twenty minutes about the wedding.
His classmates looked at him with admiration.
In fact, it became quite embarrassing for Zhou Simu in later years when he realized that his parents got on the bus first and paid for the tickets later1got pregnant first before marriage. Especially when he met his kindergarten classmates again, and some of them still remembered his parents’ wedding.
A week later, Jiang Xiao and Zhou Xiulin returned from their honeymoon and both of them dived back into their work. Zhou Xiulin had several days of meetings, and there was a backlog of work waiting for him to manage.
As for Song Yiwen and the others, they had their own plans, which put Jiang Xiao’s mind at ease. Song Yiwen, Yi Lu, and Yi Han stayed in Huaxia, managing their careers independently with their respective agents. Jiang Xiao recommended agents to Song Yiwen and Xu Jiaran. Yi Lu readily accepted the recommendation, but Xu Jiaran declined.

Jiang Xiao knew that further persuasion would be in vain, and she was well aware of Xu Jiaran’s personality. She could only express her regrets. “Since you’ve made your decision, I won’t say anything more.”
Xu Jiaran gazed at her with a hint of melancholy, “Jiang Jie, if only you had revealed your true identity earlier. Then I wouldn’t have had to put in so much effort and wouldn’t have felt so lost.”
Jiang Xiao suppressed a smile, “Jiaran, you have a big heart.” She got up and said, “I wish you all the best.”
“Jiang Jieā”
Jiang Xiao stopped in her tracks and looked at her.
Xu Jiaran hesitated before saying, “You and Teacher Liang, are youā”
Jiang Xiao remained composed, her eyes as calm as a serene lake. “Professor Liang is a veteran in the industry, a talented actress. I think you’ve learned a lot from her during this time.”
Xu Jiaran was momentarily taken aback, and she raised the corner of her mouth. “I understand.”
In the winter of that year, the filming of “Changting” officially wrapped up. The following summer, “Changting” was released during the May Day holiday, earning 12 million RMB on its opening day. In the end, the film didn’t achieve the results that Liang Yue had initially anticipated.
Xu Jiaran didn’t have the luck that Zhao Xinran had back then. Although “Changting” was submitted for international competitions, it ultimately didn’t win any awards for her.
During the release of “Changting,” there were rumors that Liang Yue had a secret daughter and was now married with children. However, this news was deleted within half an hour of surfacing.
On another day, there were rumors that Jiang Xiao was Liang Yue’s secret daughter. Jiang Xiao never addressed these rumors, and eventually, they faded away.
There are too many truths and untruths in the entertainment industry.
But let’s leave that for another time.
After their honeymoon, Jiang Xiao and Zhou Xiulin received invitations to appear on several variety shows. Jiang Xiao declined all of them.
She considered her options and decided to work at the company as an artist relations and promotion specialist. She discussed this with Zhou Xiulin, and he agreed that it was a suitable role for her given her current experience.
In mid-November, “The Most Beautiful Talent Agent” was simultaneously broadcast on J Channel and Youha Video. Despite the prior promotion, the initial episode’s viewership ratings weren’t outstanding. Compared to “Our Journey,” it was one-third lower.
However, in the second week, things miraculously improved. The program’s promotion team invested in advertising through popular entertainment outlets, releasing entertaining videos that gradually boosted viewership ratings.
The show was aired on TV around 10 p.m., which was past Little Bean Sprout’s bedtime. Therefore, every Saturday evening, the Zhou family’s entertainment activity was watching “The Most Beautiful Talent Agent.” Little Bean Sprout was a devoted fan, and seeing Jiang Xiao on TV made the experience fascinating for him.
The program’s viewership and buzz began to skyrocket from the third episode onward.
Every Monday, Zhou Simu would enthusiastically promote “The Most Beautiful Talent Agent” to his kindergarten friends.
“My mom is up there! She’s the beautiful lady chasing the chickens. She’s my mom, and she’s amazing, right? She can catch chickens!”
It’s a shame Jiang Xiao wasn’t there in person; otherwise, she might have been overwhelmed by the reactions.
The middle episodes of “The Most Beautiful Talent Agent” saw more and more celebrities participating, and when the viewership rating crossed 2, the production team couldn’t stop smiling.
At the end of the seventh episode, the program announced the upcoming appearance of a mysterious guest, instantly piquing the audience’s curiosity.
Internet users flocked to the guest’s social media accounts, leaving comments, trying to guess who the mysterious person was.
Jiang Xiao’s Weibo received over 5,000 comments overnight, the most she had ever received.
Clear Morning Light: I bet it’s Little Bean Sprout!
Moonlight by the Bed: I’m guessing it’s Brother Song.
Deeply in Love: Could it be Mr. Zhou?
You’re relentless: The girl above, Jiang Jie hasn’t even exposed Mr. Zhou on Weibo; there’s no way she’d bring him on the show.
Cute Passerby fan of Beibei: Surprise, surprise! There’s definitely a surprise! Waiting eagerly!
And the reply from You’re relentless to Cute Passerby from the North: “Friend, you look quite familiar!”
ā¦
In fact, the entertainment industry had already been abuzz with the news that Zhou Xiulin had accompanied his wife to a variety show. This devoted husband not only kept his marriage to Jiang Xiao a secret but also opened a company in her name.
It was named “Mu Xiao Media,” and if you thought it was named after their son and his wife, you’d be wrong. It was, in fact, named after his love for Jiang Xiao.
After the wedding of the Zhou couple, Zhou Xiulin did receive significantly less attention from women.
Privately, Jiang Qin reported to Jiang Xiao that there were fewer women trying to initiate dinner invitations to CEO Zhou these days.
Jiang Xiao had always trusted him.
In the penultimate episode of “The Most Beautiful Talent Agent,” when Zhou Xiulin stepped out of the car, the cameraman took some skillful shots, starting from his feet, moving up his long legs, and finally revealing Zhou Xiulin’s face.
The audience couldn’t help but wonder if the cameraman was intentionally building suspense.
When Zhou Xiulin made his first appearance, he greeted everyone, saying, “Hello, everyone, I’m Jiang Xiao’s husband, Zhou Xiulin.” His warm and polite demeanor made everyone feel connected without any sense of distance.
The show’s crew presented an introduction: a warm welcome to the Zhou couple.
It was said that many viewers screamed in excitement in front of their computers and television screens.
From the beginning of the program, Jiang Xiao’s social media, especially her Weibo, was flooded with messages. Fans left comments like:
“My brother-in-law is so handsome!”
“My sister’s husband is her boss!”
“We support my brother-in-law!”
“Wow, I’m so excited! Of course, it’s my brother-in-law! Love you, mwah!”
At this moment, some fans checked Zhou Xiulin’s Weibo and discovered that he was only following Jiang Xiao, with just one post, the one where he defended Jiang Xiao against slander. Following this revelation, the video of Zhou Xiulin’s heartfelt expression of love from the wedding he attended in September began to circulate wildly on Weibo.
At this moment, Jiang Xiao was also browsing Weibo, while on Saturday, she was playing chess with Zhou Simu.
Jiang Xiao walked into the study, saying, “Husband, this time you’re a sensation.” She smiled and raised her phone, “The show is unexpectedly doing really well.”
Zhou Xiulin had an indifferent expression, sitting there and making his next move.
Zhou Simu furrowed his little brows, deeply contemplating his next move as well.
Jiang Xiao said, “Hey, you two don’t have any reactions at all?”
Zhou Simu replied, “Mom, dad is not a big celebrity.”
Zhou Xiulin added, “I was thinking that for the last episode of the show, I could post a family photo of us on my Weibo.”
Jiang Xiao playfully leaned on his back, “Sounds good. This time, we won’t pixelate Simu’s face. How about posting the one from our wedding?”
Zhou Simu chimed in, “I think that’s a great idea.”
Outside the window, countless lights were shining. Here, it was a game of chess, a family gathering.
Jiang Xiao glanced at the chessboard, “Simu, you need three moves to capture in the corner, and five moves along the edge.”
Zhou Simu nodded and quickly made a move.
Zhou Xiulin raised an eyebrow and said playfully, “Causing chaos.”
Zhou Simu responded, “It’s a mother-son heart to heart connection.”
Zhou Xiulin then made a move and calmly removed a large group of white stones from the board.
Zhou Simu stared at the chessboard and said, “When I grow up, I will win too.” He began packing up the chessboard.
Jiang Xiao patted his head, “Yes! You’ll definitely surpass your dad in the future.”
The next week arrived, which also marked the finale of “The Most Beautiful Talent Agent.”
The Zhou couple had already become prominent figures in the show, and Zhou Xiulin had received invitations for two other programs, inviting him and his son to participate.
On Saturday evening, exactly at nine o’clock, Zhou Xiulin’s pre-set Weibo post unveiled a family photo of the three of them.
ćLet me introduce my wife and my son to everyone. Thank you for your concern about my wife and your affection for my son. My love, forever.ć
At this moment, Jiang Qin had been waiting by her computer and was the first to repost the Weibo on the company’s official account. ćCongratulations! Mr. Zhou’s identity is finally acknowledged!ć
Zhou Yanyan: My dear nephew [heart]
Qin Yilu: Oh, I’m so moved I could cry.
The Most Beautiful Talent Agent V: Remember to watch tonight’s episode on time, there are surprises! Surprises! Surprises!
Thanks to Zhou Xiulin’s Weibo post, the final episode of “The Most Beautiful Talent Agent” achieved a 5% viewership rating, making it the highest-rated domestic variety show to date.
The surprise that the program offered was a scene of Zhou Simu running away from home in an animated format.
This little addition quickly pushed the family of three into the top trending topics.
Auntie fans, itching to hear more, left numerous messages for Jiang Xiao, hoping she would share more of Little Bean Sprout’s daily adventures on her Weibo.
Jiang Xiao readily agreed.
Zhou Xiulin walked into the children’s room with his phone. His wife and son were busy drawing.
He leaned against the door, watching them.
Jiang Xiao noticed him and looked up, their eyes meeting. “Is it already 10 o’clock?”
Zhou Xiulin, wearing a smile, walked step by step to her side and handed her the phone. “Mrs. Zhou, how about sharing my Weibo post?”
Jiang Xiao, eager, said, “When did you post it? I’ll check. Wow!”
Zhou Simu looked up at his mom and dad. “Let me see it too?”
Zhou Xiulin ruffled his son’s hair, keeping his gaze on Jiang Xiao. “Alright, get some rest now. We’re going mountain climbing early in the morning. If you two can’t keep up, I won’t be responsible.”
Jiang Xiao gently protested, “Husband, don’t be like that.”
Zhou Simu followed suit, “Dad, don’t be like that.”
Zhou Xiulin lowered his head and shared a kiss on her forehead.
The white furball at his feet mewed, “Meow.”
In the warm and cozy room, with the world outside blanketed in snow, they were content.
In the vast expanse of life, they were together.
He held her hand and said, “Let’s go.”
Sansukini: Well friends, this is the ending of the main text, and we’ll have a few more extras about Jin Zhongbei and the Zhou couple. I’ll be posting 2 chapters of the extras each day as a thank you for everyone who supported this novel. This is a very satisfying ending, don’t you think
Following Hello, Mr. Zhou is a novel called “Interstellar Dad.” I would probably start it next week, on a Saturday, Sunday, Monday schedule. So this novel is written by the same author of “After Rebirth, I was Entangled by a Second Generation Rich Guy Again.”
INTERSTELLAR DAD SUMMARY:
In the interstellar era, with the advent of artificial uteruses, women are liberated from the constraints of childbirth. Jiang Miao works hard, earns money, and pays five years of social security contributions, finally qualifying for “Genetic Parenting Selection.” Surprisingly, in the first round of the lottery, she matches with a suitable parenting partner:
“Congratulations on your successful lottery! We have matched you with the most genetically compatible parenting partner!”
“Congratulations! Your parenting partner has agreed to artificial insemination!”
“Congratulations! Your parenting partner has agreed to carry the fetus and give birth!”
“Congratulations! Your parenting partner has agreed to give the child to you!”
Jiang Miao: Absolutely perfect!
That is until she meets Yan He, who wears a black military uniform and is as cold as an iceberg. Jiang Miao realizes that her plan might have taken a small deviation. Actually, natural conception wouldn’t have been a problem either. The allure of uniforms is hard to resist.
