Chapter 147 Airport Pickup

Chapter 147 Airport Pickup

Cai Yinong knew very well that Hu Ge was the backbone of Tangren Film and Television, and his accident would undoubtedly bring unprecedented challenges to the company.

Faced with this dilemma, at this critical moment, Tangren Films needs someone to take over the burden left by Hu Ge and move forward. The gentle and tenacious Miss Liu is her only choice.

He called softly: "Shishi, come and sit in front of me."

Liu Shishi came back to her senses and looked at the female boss in confusion. Seeing that she was staring at her gently, she went to the desk and sat down as she was told.

Cai Yinong sat up straight, looked at Yijie, and said slowly: "Shishi, I decided to let you play the heroine of one of the units of "Strange Women of Liaozhai", Xin Shisiniang.

This is a female image full of wisdom and courage, which is a great test of your acting skills and martial arts skills. I hope you can prepare well. After all, this is the leading female role, and your performance will directly affect the quality of the entire drama. "

When Liu Shishi heard this, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, which was then replaced by excitement.

Unlike the TV series and movies she has starred in before, just by hearing the name of "Strange Women of Liao Zhai", you can tell that this is a drama with a strong female lead.

This is a rare opportunity and also a huge challenge to my acting skills. If I perform well, it will be outstanding and attract a lot of fans.

"Ms. K, thank you for giving me this opportunity! I will definitely do my best and will never let you down."

Liu Shishi is full of energy, her voice is firm and powerful, revealing how much she cherishes the opportunity to play Xin Shisinian.

Cai Yinong nodded with satisfaction, with expectation and blessing: "Shishi, I know that playing the leading female role is very stressful, but it is also the driving force for your improvement.

After Hu Ge's car accident, Tangren needs you, the top sister, to take the lead. As a general of our Tangren, I hope you can work harder.

Not only in this play, but also in every future work, you must be able to show your strength and charm. "

Liu Shishi felt Cai Yinong's earnest hope, and a warm feeling surged in her heart. She was almost deceived by the female boss and burst into tears.

She stared at Cai Yinong with a firm look in her eyes. She inexplicably felt the heavy responsibility of the first sister and nodded very seriously:

"Don't worry, Sister K. I will definitely work hard. This is both pressure and motivation. I will be fully prepared and go all out for "Strange Women of Liao Zhai"."

Cai Yinong felt very relieved after hearing this. The little girl's attitude was really amazing.

However, although our number one sister is an actress with potential, it is still unknown whether she can really become a big hit.

Originally, she planned to concentrate resources to support the number one brother to gain a firm foothold in the first-tier market, and then train the number one sister. But now she can only force the issue and let the number one sister serve as a front.

"I believe you will succeed. Shishi, go and prepare first. I will send you the script later. If you have any requirements, just let me know. I look forward to your wonderful performance in "Strange Women of Liao Zhai"!"

Cai Yinong's words were full of encouragement. She now had to give more praise to boost Liu Shishi's confidence.

"Also, get to know your colleagues in other departments of the company better. You will need their support in your future work."

"Got it, thank you Sister K!" Liu Shishi left the office happily.

Time flies, four days passed in a flash, and soon it was the annual National Day holiday.

In the waiting hall of Donghai Airport, there was a surge of crowds and a lot of noise. From time to time, the roar of planes taking off and landing could be heard from the sky. Because it was a holiday, the passenger flow of the entire airport was nearly double that of weekdays.

Liu Shishi was standing near the airport entrance. Today, Mr. Song, whom she hadn't seen for more than a month, was coming to Donghai. She dressed up carefully, wanting to show her most charming side in front of her boyfriend.

She was wearing a light blue dress, the hem of which swayed gently with her steps, like a flowing spring. She had a thin white belt tied around her waist, outlining her slender and flexible waist.

She also wore a pink wide-brimmed hat with a circle of white feathers on her head, which added a bit of playfulness and agility. The brim of the hat was slightly tilted, covering part of her face, but highlighting her delicate features.

The soft long hair naturally falls on the shoulders from under the brim of the hat, as smooth as black satin, with slightly curled ends and a few strands of hair playfully sticking to the fair cheeks.

She held a bunch of carefully wrapped sunflowers in her hands; the bright yellow flowers matched her mood perfectly.

After the broadcast announced the arrival of Song Ci's flight, Liu Shishi stood on tiptoe from time to time, staring at the exit, her heart full of sweet anticipation.

"Yuanyuan, help me keep an eye on it too."

Jiang Yuanyuan, the assistant who came to pick her up at the airport, made an OK gesture and agreed with a smile: "Don't worry, Shishi, I have sharp eyes!"

After a while, Song Ci's figure appeared in their sight.

Boss Song was wearing a dark blue casual suit jacket, a white T-shirt underneath, and black straight pants, looking handsome and capable.

He was talking to someone beside him, his steps were hurried but firm. There were a few people behind him, pulling suitcases, following carefully.

When she saw her long-awaited lover, Liu Shishi's eyes lit up instantly and a smile brighter than a sunflower bloomed on her face.

She ran towards Song Ci without hesitation, her high heels tapping out an urgent and cheerful rhythm on the ground.

At the same time, as if they had telepathic connection, Song Ci saw Liu Shishi in the crowd at a glance. A gentle smile appeared on his face and he quickened his pace to meet her.

When the two were still a few steps apart, Liu Shishi jumped up like a happy lark and threw herself into her boyfriend's arms.

Song Ci caught Miss Liu steadily, hugged her tightly in his arms, and sniffed the fragrance emanating from the little green plum.

Liu Shishi buried her little face in her boyfriend's broad chest, feeling his familiar breath, her heart filled with happiness and sweetness.

"You're finally here!" With a hint of coquettishness in her tone, her voice was filled with unconcealable joy.

Song Ci didn't say anything, but just looked at Miss Liu lovingly and stroked her soft hair quietly.

People around them came and went, but the two seemed to be in a world that belonged only to them. Time seemed to stop at this moment, and the entire airport became the backdrop of their love.

The two hugged each other tenderly for a while, and then Liu Shishi broke away from her boyfriend's warm embrace, handed him the sunflower in her hand, and said with a smile: "For you, Mr. Song."

Song Ci took the flower and felt the sincere affection: "Sunflowers grow towards the sun, loyal and tenacious."

"Shishi, long time no see. You're getting more and more beautiful!" At this time, Zhang Yong, who had caught up, greeted her with a smile.

The person who was talking to Song Ci just after leaving the station was Zhang Yong. He came to Donghai with his boss this time to deal with something.

"Brother Yong, you are becoming more and more handsome." Liu Shishi smiled. She was already very familiar with Zhang Yong, Wang Jing and other high-ranking officials of Tengda.

Together with the assistants, secretaries, and bodyguards who followed the three of them, the group stood together, attracting the attention of passers-by.

Seeing this, Song Ci took Liu Shishi's hand and walked out, saying, "Everyone, please get out of the station first. Don't get stuck here."

The car quickly drove out of Donghai Airport. Zhang Yong, sitting in the passenger seat, asked, "Mr. Song, where are you going? Are you staying in the hotel with me?"

Although Zhang Yong had a residence in Donghai, his family had already moved to Peking. The house in Donghai had not been cleaned for a long time, so he stayed in a hotel when he came back temporarily this time.

"No, I'm staying with Shishi these days, at Fenghuang Mansion on Longhua Middle Road."

Song Ci gave an address. This was the address of the large flat he bought for Liu Shishi. It was an upscale residential area not far from Tangren Film and Television. It had an elegant environment and, most importantly, good security conditions.

Zhang Yong quickly told the driver: "Go to Longhua Middle Road first!"

The driver apparently heard the conversation between the two, and after driving for a while, he turned on the turn signal and drove towards Longhua Middle Road. There was another car following closely behind, with Jiang Yuanyuan, Tang Yue and others in that car.

"The East China Sea changes every day, but unlike the ancient charm of Peking, the East China Sea is full of modern atmosphere." Song Ci looked at the skyscrapers that reached into the sky in the distance and couldn't help but sigh.

Zhang Yong echoed, "Yes, as a national financial center, Donghai's economy has developed rapidly in recent years and it deserves the title of an international metropolis."

Song Ci nodded, ready to arrange things before parting: "What date are we going to meet with the people from STO and BEST?" He and Zhang Hai came to Donghai this time to deal with the matter of investing in and supporting the express delivery company.

Thanks to the development of Internet retail, China's express delivery industry will advance rapidly in the next fifteen years. After domestic express delivery giants such as SF Express and ZTO Express go public in the future, their market capitalizations will exceed 100 billion yuan.

This year, the country's postal policy changed, and private express delivery companies had an opportunity to soar. Song Ci naturally would not miss such a feast.

Starting from August, Zhang Yong sent people to conduct a detailed market survey of the domestic express delivery industry. Currently, two express delivery companies, STO and BEST, have been selected, and he has made an appointment to meet with the company leaders on National Day for detailed discussions.

"STO Express on the 5th, Best Express on the 6th, both at 9 a.m."

Song Ci noted the time and said, "I will meet you at the hotel where you are staying in advance, and then we will go to the courier company together."

Zhang Yong still had doubts about the meeting in a few days, and was a little worried: "Mr. Song, during the market research, I found that Alibaba has also been in contact with express delivery companies recently and wants to invest in them.

If Alibaba also targets STO and BEST, we may not be able to compete, after all, Alibaba’s main business is e-commerce, which complements the express delivery industry.”

Although Tengda Group owns the broadcasting and operating rights for the NBA and Bundesliga football matches, and also sells some jerseys, basketballs and other sports goods on the Toutiao community mall, which requires express delivery, the demand for express delivery is far less than that of Alibaba Taobao.

"Don't worry, we also have advantages that cannot be rejected. If express delivery companies want to develop rapidly, they need to build express delivery stations in major cities across the country, which requires a lot of funds. Alibaba cannot match us in terms of funds for the time being.

Moreover, the future is an information age. Once we support it, Tenda Big Data Center can develop a network system for express delivery and receipt.

As long as any company can be the first in the country to use information technology to manage the express delivery process by implementing barcode scanning and waybill verification, and provide customers with accurate express delivery services, it will be able to fully seize the market and take the lead.

Besides, we have no business conflicts with Alibaba, and we can even jointly invest in a courier company.”

Zhang Yong nodded upon hearing this, feeling relieved. The chairman was always prepared for a rainy day and anticipated the enemy's advances.

Song Ci was admiring the street view of Donghai. The car passed by the LJZ financial district. The Oriental Pearl Tower, the Financial Building and other landmark buildings were majestic and magnificent. They were dazzling and dreamy under the sunlight.

Not hearing what Liu Shishi said, Song Ci curiously turned sideways to check, and saw that his girlfriend was pouting, looking like an unhappy baby.

He scratched her small nose affectionately: "Aren't you usually very talkative? Why are you silent today? Is it because Lao Zhang is shy?"

Liu Shishi said depressedly: "I thought you came to see me specially, who knew you came to Donghai just to work!"

Song Ci hurriedly coaxed, “Work is not as important as you. Since you are not going back to Beiping for this National Day, I came to Donghai specially to accompany you.

The work is just incidental and won't take much time. From now until the 4th, you can manage my time for these four days."

Liu Shishi was satisfied and said, "That's pretty good."

"Speaking of which, the production of The Legend of the Condor Heroes has been suspended, and you have nothing to do recently, so why are you staying in the East China Sea instead of going back?"

"Don't mention it. The company encountered such a thing, and Sister K was under so much pressure. I originally wanted to stay here to accompany her for a few days and go home for the National Day. But the company is about to start a new play, so I stayed in the company to prepare."

Song Ci wondered how Tangren could have enough money to start a new play. After some calculation in his mind, he realized that Tengda Culture had invested a part of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes". Tangren invested a little less than in the previous life, and probably with the loan, he could raise enough money to start a new play in order to make a comeback.

"What's the name of the new play?"

"Strange Women from Liaozhai, a drama with a female lead." Speaking of this, Liu Shishi was very excited and boasted proudly, "This time, I am the leading female role."

Song Ci had some impression of this drama, Xin Shisi Niang! "Isn't this drama a unit drama? Four units and four female protagonists, so how can there be a female lead?"

Liu Shishi was stunned by what her boyfriend said and argued, "That's also the female lead of the same level. When this drama becomes popular, I can take on endorsements and become a big star. Then I can support you."

Song Ci couldn't help but smile: "Lao Zhang, did you hear that?"

Zhang Yong laughed out loud: "Shishi, you have to work hard. When the 2006 Hurun Rich List is released in a few days, you will know how much money Mr. Song has!"

A few days ago, Hurun met Song Ci again. Zhang Yong was also present. Although the chairman’s ranking has not changed this year, still seventh, his wealth has exceeded 10 billion.

"I don't care. Your money is yours. From now on, I will pay for everything you eat and use. I will also be your sponsor."

Song Ci agreed with a smile: "Okay, I will eat your soft rice from now on."

It's no wonder that Miss Liu's annual income will be tens of millions in a few years, which is more than the annual profit of many listed companies. If Tengda Group goes bankrupt one day, it wouldn't be a bad idea for her to live off it.
