Chapter 334 New Character

The early morning sunlight shines through the floor-to-ceiling windows into the presidential suite of Bincheng Wanda Hotel.

Song Ci was sitting at the dining table, answering an important call.

"Don't worry, Director Wang. We are all family. I won't do anything that is detrimental to unity!"

A hearty laugh came from the other end of the phone: "Mr. Song is indeed very righteous! Mr. Xu wanted to call you in person, but he was afraid of disturbing you, so he asked me to be a peacemaker.

The wealthy families in Hong Kong have always been our friends, and we always put the overall situation first.”

"I understand!" Song Ci's eyes gleamed, "Mr. Xu is worrying too much. His daughter-in-law just had a little quarrel with my wife. I won't take such a small matter to heart."

Director Wang replied meaningfully: "I'm just afraid that some people will take advantage of the situation and interfere with it."

Song Ci paused, his eyes narrowed slightly: "I will tell my wife, since Mrs. Xu has already publicly apologized, this matter will be over. However, this will not happen again!"

At the other end of the table, Liu Shishi elegantly turned sideways and whispered to Cai Yinong beside her, "Sister K, the person who called my husband is quite an important figure."

Cai Yinong was a little surprised. His eldest sister also knew this? "Why do you think so?"

"I can tell from my husband's micro-expressions." Liu Shishi said firmly.

Over the past few years, she has figured out some tricks. The person who can make her husband answer the phone so seriously must be someone of extraordinary status.

In order to verify her guess, as soon as Song Ci finished the call, Liu Shishi couldn't wait to ask, "Husband, who was the person who just called you?"

After hanging up the phone, Song Ci exhaled and rubbed his brows: "It's a leader in charge of Hong Kong and Australia affairs."

"What level is he?"

"An important official of the imperial court."

Liu Shishi winked at Cai Yinong proudly: "I was right."

Song's tone was light-hearted and normal, but it frightened Cai Yinong. For the first time, he truly felt the amazing energy of the newly-crowned richest man in Asia.

"Why are there only black truffles? I don't like this. Australian lobsters so early in the morning? All the dishes are heavy-flavored. Too greasy."

There was a table full of delicacies from land and sea, but Song Ci looked disgusted and was very picky.

"This is the new black truffle themed breakfast launched by the Simongjia Hotel. It is very nutritious. This Australian lobster fried rice tastes good."

Liu Shishi stood up and served her husband half a bowl of fried rice. "Try it? Just a small bite."

Seeing his wife's strong recommendation, Song Ci simply tried it: "It tastes okay."

Liu Shishi smiled slightly, and Song Ci was very obedient to her advice. The tacit understanding between husband and wife was precisely this kind of subtle compromise.

"Sister K, would you like to try it too?"

After years of friendship, there was no need for politeness. Cai Yinong took it with a smile and said, "Then I won't be polite. I'll just enjoy the treat."

While eating breakfast, Song Ci solemnly instructed: "Boss Cai, I called you here early in the morning because I have a few things to tell you."

Cai Yinong put down his chopsticks and immediately said seriously: "Please speak!"

"If Shishi accepts endorsements from brands in Hong Kong, Taiwan or abroad, she must be very strict and cautious."

Song Ci has a sharp eye. Some brands have incorrect stances. He and Liu Shishi are a couple, so they have to consider more.

His eyes fell on his wife again: "Shishi, those people on the Internet who are malicious or kind to you, don't take it to heart. The most unpredictable thing in this world is the human heart."

"I know the severity of the matter." Liu Shishi nodded, "It's just that Li Jiaxin publicly apologized to me on Weibo this morning. If I don't respond, will it seem that I am narrow-minded?

Besides, if she doesn’t give him face like this, will her husband...?”

Song Ci understood what his wife meant. She was worried about the reaction from the Xu family. Although it is better to resolve a feud than to create one, does Young Master Xu need to care about a second-generation without any inheritance rights?

"He's just a dandy boy. Just pretend he doesn't exist."

Seeing her husband's disdainful look, as if he looked down on Li Jiaxin and her husband, Liu Shishi finally felt relieved.

"Ah, the official announcement coincided with the release of the Forbes list, plus it was inexplicably linked to Hong Kong, so everything happened at the same time!"

Song Ci finished her breakfast and sighed softly, "I have already told Liu Yan to suppress the hot searches about us. Just now a senior leader called to remind me not to be too high-profile."

"I'm sorry, Yiyi." Liu Shishi lowered her eyes, feeling a little regretful.

My husband has always been low-key. I didn’t discuss it with him and made the hasty announcement on impulse, which may have caused him a lot of trouble. But I was also a little disappointed.

"What nonsense are you talking about? I am your husband. I am so happy that this has been officially announced." Song Ci's soft voice moistened his wife's heart like a gurgling stream.

Liu Shishi was so moved that her nose felt sore and she was speechless for a moment.

In the morning light, Song Ci straightened the collar of his suit: "It's getting late, I have to rush back to Peking."

"I'll take you there, dear."

In the hotel lobby, several girls at the front desk couldn't help whispering to each other as they watched Liu Shishi walk out of the elevator arm in arm with Song Ci.

When the foreman saw a girl trying to secretly take photos, he quickly stopped her: "Are you crazy? Not to mention that the hotel does not allow secret photos of customers, not to mention that this guy is the richest man in Asia, can you afford to offend him?"

The female receptionist who was scolded stopped in dismay and stuck out her tongue: "Sister Zhao, I just thought Liu Shishi and Song Ci were a perfect match and wanted to take a picture."

Another girl at the side also echoed: "You know what, the two of them look like the domineering CEO and the rich daughter in a Korean drama."

The luxury car had already stopped in front of the hotel lobby, and the bodyguards stood there quietly.

Liu Shishi hugged her husband tightly, reluctant to leave.

Song Ci gently stroked his wife's back, kissed her gently between the eyebrows, and comforted her softly: "See you in two days! And I'll tell you a secret."

Liu Shishi raised her little head from Mr. Song's arms, her eyes dim, "What secret?"

"You can check out my Weibo updates later, big one."

"Okay!" Liu Shishi was expectant. She kissed her husband on the cheek and let him go. "Have a nice trip, husband!"

Watching Mr. Song's motorcade disappear at the end of the road, Liu Shishi withdrew her gaze and returned to the presidential suite with Cai Yinong.

"Director Ma gave me a day off, and it's another relaxing day!" Liu Shishi stretched lazily with a graceful figure, stretching her slender waist that had been tormented by someone last night.

"Master, I have something to discuss with you."

"Just tell me, Sister K." Sister Yi sat down on the sofa and responded casually.

I opened the Weibo post with great joy, wanting to see what the surprise my husband had mentioned was.

Cai Yinong took out a document from his briefcase and sat down next to Yijie.

"Shishi, the company is planning to release a new play in the second half of the year."

"Good news." Liu Shishi browsed her husband's Weibo updates carefully.

Mr. Song's Weibo account has been updated very rarely since it was opened. Apart from the three posts about her, namely the proposal, engagement and marriage registration, the rest of the content is about the products of Tengda Group, and there are no more than ten posts in total.

"Nothing has changed?" Liu Shishi was puzzled. She casually clicked on the photo of the marriage certificate where they had made their vows of eternal love, and immediately exclaimed, "Oh, my name!"

Cai Yinong saw that Sister Yi was startled and asked quickly, "What's wrong?"

Liu Shishi did not answer. She eagerly flipped through the screen and clicked on the photo on the marriage certificate. She found the same thing. The woman's portrait and the three words "Liu Shishi" that were originally covered by mosaics were now clearly visible.

I immediately understood that this was my husband's response to my official announcement.

It turned out that he had silently modified those vaguely processed photos and announced to the world that Song Ci's wife was Liu Shishi.

"It turns out that I was too late to respond!" Liu Shishi said with tears in her eyes. "Proposal, engagement, marriage certificate, my husband couldn't wait to share his joy with everyone every time!"

"Why are you crying suddenly?" Cai Yinong saw Yijie's tears falling, and quickly took a tissue and handed it to her.

"It turns out that he has been looking forward to it in his heart. I was too willful. Woohoo, Song Yiyi is so nice." Liu Shishi was deeply moved by her husband's warm gesture.

Cai Yinong rolled her eyes. Is it really appropriate for Sister Yi to show off her affection in front of her, an older single woman?

After crying for a long time, Liu Shishi barely stopped crying and sniffed: "Sister K, what did you just say?"

Cai Yinong's mouth twitched, and he couldn't help complaining. It seemed that what he had said for a long time was in vain. The love-brained Sister Yi was only thinking about her man and didn't listen at all!

"I said, the company is going to launch a new play..."

"What subject matter?"

"Ancient costume fantasy, "Xuan-Yuan Sword"! It is adapted from the game of the same name." Cai Yinong's eyes flashed. Ancient costume fantasy is exactly the theme that Tangren is best at.

Liu Shishi wiped the remaining tears from her eyes and became a little interested: "Like "Chinese Paladin III", is it adapted from a game?"

“Here’s the outline of the script.”

Sister Yi took the script and was quickly attracted by the plot. She opened it with relish: "Sister K, do you want me to star in it?"

"Yes, I want you to play Tuoba Yu'er! Hu Ge to play Yuwen Tuo!"

"Old Hu also acted in it. Didn't he say that he would no longer take on ancient costume dramas?"

"This "Xuan-Yuan Sword" should be the last ancient idol drama he shot for Tangren."

Cai Yinong's tone was calm, but it revealed a hint of deep meaning, "After finishing this play, I will set up a personal studio for him so that he can concentrate on transitioning to serious drama and the big screen."

Liu Shishi thought for a moment and immediately realized that this was an exchange of interests between Lao Hu and Sister K.

Lao Hu will help Tangren shoot a hit drama to pave the way for the company's listing, and then he will be able to freely pursue his acting career.

As for the performance of "Xuan-Yuan Sword"? Yi Jie is full of confidence. If she and Hu Ge participate in the show, the ratings of this TV series will definitely not be bad.

Liu Shishi's slender fingers stroked the edge of the script, still hesitating in her heart: "What about the other characters? I saw from the outline that it seems to have two male protagonists? Will the role of Chen Jingchou be given to Ah Xin?"

Cai Yinong shook his head slowly: "The company has signed a new person named Jiang Jinfu. I plan to let Hu Ge take him for a ride."

"The company has signed a new person!" Liu Shishi was stunned, and then she heard the hidden meaning of Sister K. This Jiang Jinfu might be Lao Hu's successor and the future number one of Tangren Film and Television.

"Why not choose Ah Xin?" Sister Yi couldn't understand Sister K's actions. After starring in "Startling by Each Step", Lin Gengxin has become a little famous and is more reliable than a newcomer in any way.

Cai Yinong had no intention of hiding his plan, and spoke to Yijie from the bottom of his heart: "Gengxin has a good relationship with you and Wanda Wang Dashao. As long as you are willing to take care of him, he can get a lot of resources even without the support of Tangren.

It’s not easy to make a star famous, I’m just taking double insurance.”

So he wants Lin Gengxin to take advantage of me and Simong! Liu Shishi was speechless at Sister K's straightforwardness: "Will Xin agree to you doing this?"

"We have discussed that the company's resources will be tilted towards him when appropriate, and I will relax the share ratio for the resources he has obtained through his own connections, so he has no objection."

Liu Shishi curled her lips, and immediately realized that Lin Gengxin might also be eyeing the resources of Wanda Pictures and Tengda Culture.

"Okay, just make sure you guys come to an agreement." The parties involved were all willing, so she, as an outsider, had no objection. "What about the other female protagonists?"

"Xiaoxue is for Naza, Ning Ke, I want to ask Tang Yan to play."

"That's it!" Liu Shishi suddenly thought of a certain poor girl who had been taking extra classes in Peking. "With Jin Chen, Tangren's future number one sister is also a double insurance?"

"As long as you are here, you will always be the number one lady in Tangren! We chose Naza to play Xiaoxue simply because of her potential. After all, that face is rare in the entertainment industry."

As for Guli Nazha's appearance, Yijie quite approves: "Nazha is indeed beautiful. She can carve out a path in the entertainment industry just by relying on that face."

"So, Shishi, have you decided to act in the role?" Cai Yinong looked at Sister Yi with great anticipation. The entire "Xuan-Yuan Sword" now only needed the leading actress to nod her head.

"Sister K, isn't it okay for me to act? Don't look at me like that!" Liu Shishi felt a little uncomfortable under Sister K's burning gaze.

Cai Yinong was delighted: "Don't worry, according to the old rules, there will be absolutely no kissing or intimate scenes. I will design a few more cool fighting scenes for you, which will definitely attract fans.

You will have enough vacation time during filming, so it won’t affect your regular return to Beijing to reunite with Boss Song.”

This "Xuan-Yuan Sword" is of vital importance to Tangren. In order to let Yijie star in "Xuan-Yuan Sword", she also spent a lot of money.

Just as they were about to discuss the details, Liu Shishi's cell phone suddenly rang. She looked at the caller ID and was a little surprised.

"Hey, Brother Bo. You want to visit the crew? Don't come. I appreciate your kindness, but I'm not on the crew right now.

What, is there something else, your agent wants to meet me? Okay, I'll send you the address on WeChat, I'm free today."

"Who's coming?"

"Yu Bo's agent." Liu Shishi responded casually while sending the address to Yu Bo.

"Jiang Xueru, the boss of Zhouyi Film and Television!" Cai Yinong narrowed his eyes, very curious about the visit of this strong woman who was as famous as himself. Thinking about the recent rumors in the circle, he vaguely guessed her intention of wanting to meet the number one sister.

“I heard that Zhouyi Films wanted to sell to Tengda Culture, but Zhang Zhao didn’t like it.”

After sending the address, Sister Yi was full of doubts and asked humbly: "Isn't Zhou Yi a leading figure in ancient costumes as famous as Tang Ren? Why doesn't Zhang Zhao like it?"

Cai Yinong sneered and explained, “The path taken by Zhou Yi and the Tang people is completely different, light on Taoism and heavy on content.

But what Tengda Culture lacks the most is high-quality IP and a team of screenwriters. Zhang Zhao naturally looks down on Zhou Yi, a production company that can’t even make its own artists popular. "

"I see. Jiang Xueruo came to see me, isn't he expecting me to buy Zhouyi?"

"Very likely. If the offer is right, you can consider acquiring the production team and shooting web series to help your husband, Tengda TT Video Network, enrich its content ecosystem."

Liu Shishi fell into deep thought. The sunlight outside the window was shining brightly, shining on her delicate face, casting a moving glow.
