The Male Lead’s Substitute Wife
The Male Lead’s Substitute Wife Chapter 35 part 1

Zhou Peiyun was completely caught off guard by this.

What surprised her even more was that the producer of Food and Guests from Fruits TV Station actually called.

When the phone rang, the number was unfamiliar, and at her age, she was used to receiving calls from all sorts of unknown numbers. She picked up on the third ring.

The voice on the other end introduced themselves. “Hello, I’m Sun Lei, the producer of Food and Guests at Fruits TV Station.”

Zhou Peiyun hurriedly said, “Hey, hey, hey,” and quickly covered the speaker, turning to Su Yaya with excitement. “It’s the producer of Food and Guests from Fruits TV Station!”

Su Yaya having just finished her noodles and setting down her chopsticks with a satisfied smile, reached for a napkin to wipe her mouth. She paused, recalling the show’s name. She remembered Food and Guests was quite popular and had good ratings.

Sun Lei’s voice continued from the phone. “I saw the picture of Su Yaya you posted on Weibo. Are you her manager? I think she’d be a perfect fit for our program, and I’d like to invite her as a guest.”

Zhou Peiyun’s mind raced. Food and Guests was an important program Fruits TV Station had been working hard to develop. It was a variety show that combined leisure, food, and interviews, airing every Friday night at 9:30 PM. Each episode featured three celebrities who were skilled at cooking—handsome men and beautiful women who were favorites among the audience. Su Yaya fit this description perfectly.

On the show, the host would ask the guests to cook three dishes they were good at. While cooking, the host would interview them with fun and interesting questions, and the celebrities would respond in a witty manner, earning points for their answers. Once the cooking was done, the host and the judges would taste the dishes and rate them. The contestant with the highest score would win and be invited back for the next episode.

Not only did the show offer delicious food to taste, but it also featured fun interactions between the guests. The attractive celebrities and the judges’ ratings kept the audience hooked. Since its debut, the program had attracted a large following, with ratings steadily rising. It quickly became the highest-rated entertainment program on the Fruits TV Station.

It meant that Su Yaya was officially approved by the show if they were inviting her to participate. This opportunity would boost her fame and expand her fanbase, giving her a significant advantage. In short, it was a rare and invaluable chance that she needed to seize.

Realizing this, Zhou Peiyun quickly agreed to Sun Lei’s invitation. “Thank you, Producer Sun, for giving Yaya this opportunity. She’s really looking forward to joining the program.”

Sun Lei responded directly, “Great. If you have time, come by the TV station the day after tomorrow so we can discuss the details.”

“Yes, we have time.” Zhou Peiyun quickly replied. “I’ll bring Yaya to meet you at 10:30 AM the day after tomorrow.”

“Perfect. See you then.”

“See you the day after tomorrow.”

Done.

With the call finished, Zhou Peiyun snapped her fingers in delight and turned to Su Yaya, grinning. “See? All I did was post a picture of you eating noodles on Weibo, and look—now you’re trending! Even the producer of Food and Guests reached out for you to be on the show. When luck is on your side, nothing can stand in your way!”

Su Yaya couldn’t hide her excitement either. She flashed a sweet smile but pretended to be nonchalant. “It was probably just a coincidence.”

“Heh,” Zhou Peiyun chuckled, walking over to her and eyeing her with amusement. “Why aren’t you acting like yourself? You would usually start laughing and getting excited. Why so calm now? I don’t even recognize you anymore.”

Zhou Peiyun teasingly poked fun at Su Yaya, causing her face to flush slightly. Su Yaya, feeling embarrassed, responded, “When did that happen? Wasn’t I always like this before?”

The moment Su Yaya said that, Zhou Peiyun was reminded of how lazy and disobedient Su Yaya had been in the past. Thinking about it made her angry. She would rather go on dates with Shen Xiuqi and sleep in than focus on her work.

“You really want to bring up the past?” Zhou Peiyun raised her eyebrows, her voice stern. “No matter what, you need to give your all in the program. Not a single mistake, understand?”

Her harsh tone was enough to send a chill down Su Yaya’s spine. She could be intimidating when she was serious.

Su Yaya quickly nodded, acting overly obedient. “I heard you. Don’t worry, I’ll do my best this time and make sure you don’t have to worry about anything.”

Now that sounded better!

Zhou Peiyun felt a bit satisfied. She looked at Su Yaya’s pretty face and said, “Actually, I think you’ve been really lucky lately. You went shopping, and a fashion blogger snapped pictures of you, which brought you tons of new fans. Then, I posted that picture of you eating noodles on Weibo, and now the producer of Food and Guests is interested in having you on the show. Looks like luck is always on your side.”

Su Yaya, not daring to dwell on that thought, quickly interrupted her. “Sister Zhou, why don’t you talk about how I was attacked on the internet the other day? I got scolded so badly that I didn’t even dare to open Weibo.”
