Chapter 150 With Who [VIP]

Chapter Summary: The show you've been waiting for will continue as scheduled.

Zhongxing Media.

At 10 p.m., about a third of the staff were sitting in the office area.

"Some employees are still working overtime."

Wearing a black mask, Liu Rui followed behind He Junzhi. Following his voice, she glanced towards the office area and saw several people yawning with their heads down, completely lacking the atmosphere of busy work.

Without uttering a word, she silently followed He Junzhi through the entire tour of Zhongxing Media.

Zhongxing Media Company is located in a building in the CBD area, renting a large flat.

Although its location is closer to the city center and more advantageous than that of Lanxing Media.

However, it is much smaller than the standalone office building of Lanxing Media.

Finally, we arrived at the general manager's office.

He Junzhi holds the title of president at the headquarters of the He Group, but he doesn't often sit here. However, he has decorated this office in an extremely high-end style. A pen holder on his desk is clearly not an ordinary item. The pens in the pen holder are worth several thousand or even tens of thousands of yuan each.

"Teacher Liu, how are you? Are you alright?"

"How does it compare to the general manager's office at Lanxing Media?"

Liu Rui withdrew her gaze and smiled charmingly: "Young Master He's office is so big, it's much more impressive."

Upon hearing this, He Junzhi, with a smug look on his face, invited Liu Rui to sit on the sofa and instructed his secretary to make two cups of coffee and bring them in.

Then he asked Liu Rui what she thought of the company tour.

Liu Rui showed no emotion on her face, and tucked a stray hair behind her ear: "It's pretty good."

"Young Master He is indeed a promising young man."

However, I felt a bit disdainful: putting aside everything else, Zhongxing Media, which had been operating for a year, couldn't even compare to Lanxing Media when it was just starting out. The spirit and demeanor of the staff in each department were far inferior.

Before signing with Lanxing Media, she had worked for several companies.

After visiting Zhongxing Media, I understood that no matter how much He Junzhi boasted, it was just an empty shell that would never amount to anything.

He Junzhi was unaware of Liu Rui's thoughts.

Thinking back to when he poached Mao Hongjun to establish Zhongxing Media, he also contacted Liu Rui at the same time, but Liu Rui remained unmoved.

Later, he persisted and invited Liu Rui to visit Zhongxing Media several times, but Liu Rui kept him hanging on by making excuses about being busy.

They finally agreed to come this time, and judging from what they said earlier, they seem quite satisfied with Zhongxing Media.

He Junzhi pressed on, persuading Liu Rui: "Teacher Liu, now that you've joined Zhongxing Media, I can guarantee you that you'll always be the company's top female star, and no one can shake your position."

"I know that Star Media hasn't grown into a major player yet, which gives you some reservations. But believe me, in two or three years at most, Star Media will be the biggest talent agency in the entertainment industry..."

Liu Rui had little interest in He Junzhi's empty promises.

Boss He Zhiyue is far more capable than He Junzhi. Who will ultimately be the heir to this wealthy family? It's hard to say.

The person who shouts the loudest is often the one who lacks ability and can only attract people to place bets by shouting loudly, while the truly capable person proves himself by taking action and achieving results.

Her contract with Lanxing Media still has two years left.

No rush, I've decided to wait and see.

After He Junzhi finished his long, dry speech, Liu Rui pretended to be deep in thought and said that she would think about it carefully when she got back.

Then, Liu Rui casually brought up, "Didn't Young Master He say that you don't like the people I don't like either? Will there be some good drama to watch these next few days?"

"...Well, there's been a slight problem."

Hearing Liu Rui mention this matter, He Junzhi's expression turned somewhat displeased.

He knew that Liu Rui's status at Lanxing Media had been greatly diminished.

In the past two years, Muzhi has developed rapidly, and Liu Rui has long been overtaken.

Nowadays, when netizens mention artists under Lanxing Media, the first one that comes to mind is Mu Zhi.

Mu Zhi has become the biggest star artist of Lanxing Media.

Liu Rui was naturally unhappy that Mu Zhi had taken her place as the top female employee in the company.

He Junzhi failed to recruit Mu Zhi into Zhongxing Media, and made a harsh statement to her face: Mu Zhi will pay the price.

Throughout the past year, Mu Zhi easily overcame numerous obstacles that were set up for her.

Last time, He Junzhi's people went to meet Mu Zhi's parents and unexpectedly took a photo of He Zhiyue and Mu Zhi together at the entrance of the restaurant.

He Junzhi developed the photos and gave them to his mother, Dong Jingwan, and then showed them to He Hongshuo.

They anticipated that He Hongshuo would be very dissatisfied with this.

I will never allow He Zhiyue to be with a female celebrity.

If He Hongshuo intervenes in this matter, it would be best if he used methods to warn and suppress Mu Zhi in order to prevent Mu Zhi from being with He Zhiyue, causing unpleasantness between Mu Zhi and the He family and Lanxing Media, or even causing them to break up and leave.

If Mu Zhi, as Lanxing Media's most profitable artist and one of its most promoted artists in the past two years, were to leave, it would be an even greater blow to Lanxing Media than the termination of Mao Hongjun's contract.

Even if it doesn't escalate to the point mentioned above.

As long as He Hongshuo embarrasses Mu Zhi, they can take the opportunity to spread rumors, such as: Mu Zhi wants to be with He Zhiyue and wants to marry into a wealthy family, but they are not a good match and she has been warned by the He family.

This could have some impact on Mu Zhi's reputation.

Unexpectedly, after He Hongshuo returned from Hengcheng, He Junzhi's mother asked about the photos.

He Hongshuo told Dong Jingwan not to interfere, not to meddle in He Zhiyue's love life, and not to make things difficult for Mu Zhi.

Nothing happened at all.

Liu Rui was very disappointed when she heard this.

He Junzhi can't even handle something as simple as dealing with Mu Zhi.

She had no intention of wasting any more time with He Junzhi, so she got up to leave.

He Junzhi answered a phone call.

Liu Rui heard the names "Mu Zhi" and "He Zhiyue".

After He Junzhi finished the call, he inquired about the situation.

He Junzhi laughed and said, "My dad went to Hengcheng yesterday, and He Zhiyue rushed over to see Mu Zhi today."

Thinking back to the last time, when he wanted to poach Mu Zhi from Lanxing Media, he deliberately sent the message to He Zhiyue to provoke her.

He Zhiyue also rushed over.

He had seen the photos taken by his subordinates, and there was no intimate behavior between He Zhiyue and Mu Zhi in the photos. He thought that if He Zhiyue really liked Mu Zhi, how could he have kept her in the company for several years without making any moves?

It now seems that He Zhiyue's relationship with Mu Zhi is more than just that of a boss and an artist.

The call I just received was from the people He Junzhi arranged to follow He Zhiyue.

The person claimed that while following He Zhiyue, they discovered that a well-known paparazzi in the industry was also following Mu Zhi.

He Junzhi had a sudden inspiration and decided to have someone anonymously submit the photos of He Zhiyue picking up Mu Zhi that he had taken last time to the paparazzi who was following Mu Zhi, so that the paparazzi could publish the news.

He clapped his hands with delight at his idea: "Teacher Liu, the show you wanted to see will proceed as scheduled!"

A ruthless glint flashed in Liu Rui's eyes: the boss actually had feelings for Mu Zhi.

Early the next morning.

The crew of "Claws and Fangs" moved to their next filming location, Jiujie Film and Television Base.

The film crew was given a 3-day break.

The Mu Zhi team flew from Hengcheng to Jiujie City in the morning.

At noon, we checked into the hotel arranged by the film crew...

Agent Ji Binghe also flew over from Beicheng.

Tomorrow I have a magazine photoshoot here, and I also need to go over the schedule with Muzhi in person.

At 5 p.m., Ji Binghe arrived at the hotel. After pushing her suitcase back to her room to put her luggage away, she went to find Mu Zhi.

As soon as I walked in, I heard Minmin in the room exclaim in surprise while looking at her phone:

"Sister Zhizhi, your new relationship is trending again."

Ji Binghe: "With whom?"

"...This time it's with the boss."

Mu Zhi: "..."

Suddenly, she remembered what He Zhiyue had said about being photographed while picking her up from the coffee shop.

Puzzling: They were sitting in the same car, let alone having any physical contact. She was in a bad mood and immersed in her own world at the time, and didn't have a single word to communicate with He Zhiyue. How could they possibly make up a romantic relationship?

Mu Zhi walked to the coffee table next to the sofa and curiously picked up her phone to check online.

Opening the trending topics list, I immediately saw my own relationship trending at the top.

#Muzhi has been secretly meeting with a mysterious man multiple times# This is the 8th most searched topic.

The person involved looked completely bewildered.

Upon entering the trending topics, Mu Zhi glanced at the photos that had been taken.

It's a photo of her and He Zhiyue together in front of the coffee shop, and a photo of them walking out of the same restaurant last night.

Ah, [2 times] is worded as [multiple times].

The boss, He Zhiyue, was clearly photographed, yet he was labeled as a "mysterious man."

This trending topic is blatantly designed to create hype and attract attention.

Ji Binghe was about to arrange for the trending topic to be removed when she refreshed the page and found that it had already been taken down.

It must have been the boss's doing.

However, although the trending topic was removed, the identity of the mysterious man was quickly revealed, and the "relationship" between Mu Zhi and He Zhiyue quickly sparked heated discussions among netizens:

"The day Mu Zhi was photographed riding in her boss's car was the day she won the Best Actress award. She should have been surrounded by many staff members, so why would her boss personally drive her home? It's easy for people to misunderstand."

"Being photographed together once or twice makes their relationship quite intriguing."

"The second time they were photographed was at a dinner party in Hengcheng. Neither of them dared to walk out together, deliberately leaving one after the other. Being so cautious, I suspect that Mu Zhi and her boss are really in a relationship."

......

Some malicious voices have emerged, subtly stirring up trouble:

"No wonder she has such good resources and became famous so quickly; it turns out her company boss is heavily promoting her."

"Wasn't Mu Zhi supposed to be a career-focused, clear-headed persona? How come she's secretly dating? And with a rich kid no less. How many of these super-rich second-generation heirs are clean? They're all pretty promiscuous."

"She recently made headlines for arguing with her parents over alimony, but it turns out she's been secretly talking to her boss, showing she wants to marry into a wealthy family. My opinion of her has suddenly become very complicated."

"I remember He Zhiyue had a rumored relationship with Liu Rui before, right? Back then, Liu Rui was the top female star in the company, and now Mu Zhi is the top female star. Is he specifically trying to talk to the top female star in order to retain talent in the company? 2333"

"Did the boss give all the best resources from Lanxing Media to the artists in the company? That's unfair to the other artists."

Some netizens have even started shipping the couple:

"Domineering CEO x Top-Tier Actress, I'm in!!"

"Both are single, and they're a good-looking couple with good financial resources. If they really get together, I wish them all the best."

"To be honest, they look so good together in the car photos, I'm kind of shipping them."

......

After discussing it with Ji Binghe, Mu Zhi's studio quickly issued a statement clarifying that she is single.

Lanxing Media's official Weibo account also issued a statement denying the relationship between the boss and Mu Zhi.

The first time they were photographed, he was driving Mu Zhi because they live in the same neighborhood, and other celebrities also live in that neighborhood, so it's not unusual. The second time they were photographed, they were discussing work together with a large group of people.

The relationship has been dismissed as completely fabricated...

After the clarification, most netizens felt that since the relationship was denied, the matter was over.

Some netizens, however, were less convinced and believed that Mu Zhi's relationship with the boss was more than just a casual one...

Ji Binghe was somewhat annoyed. She shouldn't have let her boss come yesterday. Although they weren't photographed together, rumors of a romance still spread!

He Zhiyue, far away in the northern part of the city, suddenly sneezed twice.

the next day.

This is the first time Mu Zhi has arranged other activities unrelated to the filming during filming.

The cover shoot for Bazaar magazine will be the first cover of next year.

Mu Zhi's team had originally declined the offer, but in order to secure Mu Zhi's first cover after winning the Golden Crane Award for Best Actress, the magazine team accommodated Mu Zhi and traveled from Beicheng to Jiujie City to shoot the cover for this issue.

After filming ended.

The magazine is conducting an interview.

It is usually presented in text form on the inner pages of the magazine, and is also recorded as a video. It will be released after the magazine goes on sale as a benefit for fans.

When the magazine reporter interviewed Mu Zhi, they paid particular attention to "hot topics":

"Zhizhi, everyone is very concerned about your relationship status. I saw that you were trending on social media again yesterday, so... could you respond to the rumors about you and President He?"

After asking the question, the reporter realized that he had been too direct.

He changed his tune, saying, "Um... if you were in a relationship, would you want to go public and share it with everyone?"

[Author's Note]

There's a saying about sneezing: "First you think about it, then you curse, then you catch a cold."

Yeah, Brother Yue got scolded (doge emoji)
