Chapter 20 Chapter 20 Red Apple

As soon as the smart trailer was released, it caused heated discussion across the Internet.

In addition to the super-burning special effects and superior modeling, the emotional development of the single female protagonist has also sparked a lot of discussion. Of course, there are also people who feel sorry for Zi Sheng, but the majority of people support this setting. Many new viewers have joined in, and the popularity of Lingdong remains high.

Several colleagues gathered around Cheng Yang's computer to read the hot discussions online. Lin Jie and Liu Zhenyu stood side by side at the back of the crowd, discussing future publicity directions.

"Since Luo Qing's role has been increased, the early promotional efforts should focus on the pure romance plot. Pay attention to the online discussion about other female characters. We can accept secondary creations of the male lead and other characters, but be mindful of the limits and avoid overshadowing the main character. If any inappropriate trends are identified, intervene immediately. Also, have you decided on the person responsible for managing the official Weibo and Douyin accounts?"

Liu Zhenyu looked in Cheng Yang's direction and said, "Leave it to Cheng Yang. She has a strong sense of life. Isn't this the trend these days?"

A sense of being alive? What does that mean?

The two chatted for a while, and Liu Zhenyu looked at the time and dismissed the employees who were discussing around the computer.

Lin Jie went downstairs to get something. An invitation arrived from Yanbei. She ran into Song Zhihan, who was coming upstairs with takeout. She pulled a glass of water from her bag and said, "I just happened to have an extra one. Here you go."

The minimum delivery fee at this store was shockingly high, so she simply ordered four cups at once.

Lin Jie took a peek inside the bag through the gap and saw the full bag. He also saw that the cup in his hand happened to be his favorite iced pure coffee. He felt that all this was too much of a coincidence.

While waiting for the elevator, Lin Jie remembered the new word and asked her, "What does 'living feeling' mean?"

Song Zhihan chuckled and explained, counting on his fingers: "The official explanation refers to a real, lively state of life and social traits, but my understanding is a natural feeling that does not pursue perfection and expresses true feelings. For example, the image I present to the outside world is that of a beautifully dressed urban beauty, but in fact my room is a mess, and I like to daydream, and when I do, I can't help but bite my hands. This is my characteristic. Although it's not perfect, I am happy to accept it. For example, you, you have been excellent and amazing since high school, so you don't have the sense of being alive, because you are too perfect, so perfect that people sometimes doubt whether there are people like you in the world."

After saying that, Song Zhihan looked at his expression, fearing that Lin Jie would not understand his down-to-earth explanation.

But he just nodded calmly and said, "I understand."

He was indeed a perfectionist, having been like this since childhood. He wanted to do everything to perfection and could not tolerate any flaws in himself. As Song Zhihan said, he was not a living person, but more like a set routine. All his belongings had to be neatly arranged, and his clothes were arranged in order by color, season, and size. As for chewing his hands, it was out of the question. Lin Jie was a mysophobe and had carefully studied the seven-step handwashing method and practiced it diligently.

He pursues perfection and rejects imperfection. He is emotionally stable and hates acting on his own will.

But today Lin Jie suddenly realized that all his principles seemed to be invalid when it came to Song Zhihan.

She is careless and willful, and she never cares about the consequences of her actions, but Lin Jie does not hate these behaviors of hers. Instead, he feels a sense of security as if his heart has finally settled down. He even finds himself happy to follow Song Zhihan around and clean up her mess.

Take the troubled relationship between her and Julie, for example. It often affected their work, and that was Lin Jie's red line. But Song Zhihan, she aggressively touched his bottom line, and he watched helplessly as his red line was gradually pushed back.

This feeling was very strange. Lin Jie seemed to have felt it when he was in high school, but he didn't care about it. He just regarded it as a bug in the program that needed to be fixed. But now, the more frequently he came into contact with her, the stronger this feeling became.

He didn't say anything and looked like he was thinking about something seriously. Song Zhihan leaned over and looked at the letter he was holding from a distance.

As they got closer, Lin Jie suddenly turned around and looked at her with a deep gaze. Song Zhihan was startled and dodged for a moment, clutching her chest. She then took the initiative to complain to him, "You scared me!"

Look, she wants to take three points even if she is wrong.

Lin Jie suddenly chuckled, raised the envelope in his hand, and said, "I've already arranged to take Xiaochi and Becca with me to the summit. You should work hard on your script at the company, and I'll review it when you come back."

Song Zhihan snorted and muttered softly: "I know, I know."

Now when she gets along with Lin Jie, she no longer feels nervous or avoidant like she did that day, because she has made up her mind to treat Lin Jie as her brother, and there must not be any estrangement between siblings.

"Do you like Hello Kitty tableware? My friend is in Japan. Would you like me to buy you the latest one?"

There is a problem with Taobao. As long as you search for related terms, it will desperately recommend similar products to you. Lin Jie's page has long been occupied by various big-faced cats. One night, when he was bored, he actually studied these things.

Song Zhihan was surprised and happy. She suddenly understood what Lin Mo said. She said that it was bought by her brother. Hey, isn’t that Lin Jie?

The opportunity before him must be seized firmly, and there would be no chance to go to Japan in the short term. Song Zhihan did not refuse: "If it is convenient, please bring me a set, and I will transfer the money to you."

"Need not."

Song Zhihan was very firm: "I use it, if you don't allow me to transfer it, I don't want it."

She understood the principle of not accepting food given out of pity. Although Lin Jie was her brother, things had not been made clear yet, so it was not good to take advantage of him.

Lin Jie didn't ask for her money, but proposed another plan: "Then you can treat me to a meal, and that will be the payment."

Having a meal is a great opportunity to get closer. Song Zhihan was just worrying about how to get close to him, but he didn't expect that he would come to him on his own.

With a chuckle, she agreed and said, "Okay, then let's decide based on the price of the tableware. If one meal isn't enough, we can eat two meals until the money is gone."

Lin Jie raised his eyebrows slightly, and this slight arc relaxed his harsh temperament, and the expression on his face became much more lively.

"Eat lunch at my house, and eat alone with me at night. Song Zhihan, are you trying to completely penetrate my family?"

Song Zhihan's face froze, and she secretly cried out, "Oh no! How did she get discovered?" She had indeed come here with the idea of ​​joining this family.

"I didn't, stop talking nonsense."

Lin Jie attributed her reaction to shyness. She used to be like this too. When she delivered love letters, her face was as red as the apples on the apple tree outside the dormitory door. Such a shy person never expressed her feelings through others. She always stood in front of him openly and expressed her love frankly.

Maybe it’s because he’s old, Lin Jie has developed a common problem among the elderly, reminiscing about the past.

When the elevator arrived at the station, Song Zhihan walked out first: "I'm leaving now. Remember to have dinner together."

Lin Jie nodded, and turned the envelope in his hand over and over as he walked, with a relaxed posture and a good mood.

....

"I'm sorry, Mr. Lin, my mother is in the hospital recently. I have to go take care of her after get off work, so I may not be able to travel long distances."

In Lin Jie's office, Becca cautiously rejected Lin Jie's work arrangement.

If she doesn't go, Xiaochi will be alone, but it would be a waste to leave the spot vacant. Why not let Song Zhihan go instead?

Lin Jie thought for a moment and told Xiao Chi, "Go ask Julie if she's willing to go to Yanbei with Song Zhihan to attend the summit. If she doesn't want to, then let Song Zhihan go with you."

Koike nodded, feeling that Julie would most likely not agree.

But this summit is a great opportunity. Not only can I get to know the top production companies in the industry, but I can also communicate with many screenwriters and writers. More importantly, Mr. Lin also arranged a meeting with Qie Da.

Xiao Chi had some thoughts in mind, and when he told Julie about this, he kept his words to himself: "Julie, Mr. Lin asked me to ask if you would be willing to go to Yanbei to attend the summit forum?"

Julie was fiddling with her nails and asked without looking up, "Who's with you?"

Xiao Chi gritted her teeth and answered slowly, "No, I'm going with Zhihan. Mr. Lin said that if you don't want to go, I can take Zhihan with me. I think Mr. Lin thinks she is very important to him."

Julie was furious. "I'm not going. It's either her or me. What's the point of this kind of summit? A bunch of people are just talking nonsense, but how many projects have been successfully negotiated? It's a waste of time."

Xiaochi breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay, then I'll go and report to President Lin, you stay in the company."

After dealing with Julie, she notified Song Zhihan on WeChat.

What is Song Zhihan doing?

She was obsessed with the scenes written for Luo Qing and the male lead. Her smile was rippling and the corners of her mouth couldn't be suppressed. She looked like she was deeply immersed in it.

The phone prompted that a message had been received. Song Zhihan took it out to look at it. After seeing the content on the screen, he screamed silently in his heart!

I can go to Yanbei and go out to play. I’m so happy!

Yanbei is the capital, and there are several brands that Yuhang doesn’t have. She must go there with an empty suitcase and return with a full one.

After a while, Lin Jie's assistant asked for her personal information to book a flight.

Song Zhihan tapped on the keyboard and asked her: Sister Xiaohui, who is on this business trip?

Mr. Lin, Xiao Zhu, Xiao Chi, and you, I've booked connecting seats in economy class for you. Please check!

It turned out that Lin Jie was going too. What a great opportunity! Another great opportunity! Song Zhihan was full of fighting spirit. Upon returning from this business trip, her relationship with her brother would definitely reach a new milestone. She, Song Zhihan, would definitely become Lin Jie's biological sister!

I fantasized about this for a long time and made a very careful plan, and time passed in a flash and it was time to get off work.

Song Zhihan still left on time, stretched, and planned to run away with her bag.

Unfortunately, just as I punched in and was about to leave, a message from Lin Jie popped up on my phone.

If you don’t want to eat, why are you running?

Song Zhihan was embarrassed. Does this count as advance consumption? How come Lin Jie is also using the pay-later strategy?
