Chapter 69 Reply

Ren Limeng: Chen Xingzhi, your account has been hacked?

Ren Limeng took a deep breath and clenched the phone in her hand. She sat up straight and quickly tapped the keyboard on the phone screen with her right hand, pretending that she was working.

She didn't know how to reply to Chen Xingzhi. When she saw Chen Xingzhi's message just now, Ren Limeng's first reaction was to look up at the top of the chat box. There was a neat note "S". It was indeed Chen Xingzhi's WeChat, not anyone else, such as her best friend Yan Fangshu, who had been complaining with her.

It was totally unlike the Shen Xingzhi she had in mind.

Ren Limeng looked at the chat box and pursed her lower lip. She didn't understand. Such an intimate tone was too unlike Chen Xingzhi.

What exactly is Shen Xingzhi trying to do? Is it for marketing purposes? Why does he keep testing her?

From yesterday to today, he had been sending her signals that she couldn't understand, but her memory was not confused, because he was the one who let go first.

If, at the beginning of college, they were a whole circle apart, then she had already walked 361 degrees, while he had retreated the last degree, so they eventually returned to where they started.

Many years after graduation, they all have their own centers of thought and are heading towards different tracks. Even if they meet again, they will no longer be able to intersect.

What else does he want from her!

She would never be able to be summoned and dismissed at will like before!

In fact, she would not give him any chance to tease her again!

At that time, she was childish and naive, and she took the initiative to propose marriage! She imagined that her sincerity could always warm his cold eyes!

Those two red books are still under her bed in her bedroom! She won't make the same mistake again!

Chen Xingzhi: Ren Limeng, are you serious?

Chen Xingzhi: The broadcast just now was wonderful. Congratulations, Li Meng, you have become an excellent host. I am happy for you!

Chen Xingzhi: (quoting the video link above) Today’s netizens are so amazing. They edited the video of our banggu performance and the hosting of the graduation party in such a short time, and matched it with my new song, which is really suitable.

Chen Xingzhi: Li Meng, you are ignoring me, are you shy?

Ren Limeng sat upright in her seat, her eyes looking a little vacant. She did not click on the mobile phone screen to pop up new messages, but followed the pop-up prompts and silently read all the new content sent by Shen Xingzhi.

Why is she shy? Does Shen Xingzhi know how to be ashamed now?

If she makes this chat record public, his cool and aloof personality will collapse immediately. Besides, he was not like this in college!

As expected, the entertainment industry is a big melting pot. Although Chen Xingzhi still looks so elegant and indifferent, he has become so dark inside that he even says dirty words.

Ren Limeng snorted in her heart. She couldn't guess Shen Xingzhi and shouldn't guess him anymore. As long as she didn't take the challenge, Shen Xingzhi would eventually reveal his true intentions.

After so many years, she is no longer a naive person.

Ren Limeng took a deep breath. She was able to graduate from her doctorate smoothly, and she had quietly won praise from leaders at all levels of the agricultural channel. She even managed to seize the opportunity of the S+ variety show platform. She just didn't believe that she couldn't handle a Shen Xingzhi!

It was because she was too in love that she was completely dominated by him. After three days of separation, Shen Xingzhi had to get to know her again!

On the phone, there was not only "harassment" from Chen Xingzhi, but also "rainbow farts" from Yan Fangshu.

Yan Fangshu: Mengmeng, you're amazing! I can't believe this witty host on stage is actually my idiot who spent ages memorizing even a line from an opera when I was little!

Yan Fangshu: (Picture)

Yan Fangshu: Look at how sparkling she is! As a mother, I'm so happy! Our Mengmeng is finally on the big stage!

Ren Limeng: Fangfang, you're trying to take advantage of me again! I was born seven days before you! Be careful or I'll tell Aunt Yan about it next time I see her!

Yan Fangshu: "It's been so long since you've been back to Meishi. Do you have time to complain to my mom? This year, you went to see Uncle Ren and Teacher Wu for the New Year. I had to cover for you, saying so many nice things. Otherwise, how could Teacher Wu let you off without coming home for the New Year?" By the way, Mengmeng, you're definitely going to be able to go home this time. It's Teacher Wu's birthday next week, and it coincides with Huangmei Week. Don't run away again.

Because of the Spring Festival special program on the Agricultural Channel, Ren Limeng didn't go home for the Spring Festival this year. In fact, she hasn't been home for three consecutive years. Work is too busy and the holidays are too short...

Ren Limeng could list many reasons in one breath, but they were all just excuses.

Ren Limeng: That still depends on our Fangfang. I love you so much! You are my mother's favorite disciple. She has regretted it for so many years. She hopes that we picked the wrong child and blames me for not being able to walk the right path.

Ren Limeng: I really didn't desert the battlefield the last few times. It was just that the unit had to assign me some temporary tasks. The floods in the south and the droughts in the north were both major events. We only have so many people in our agricultural channel. If I didn't take over, I would really be deserting the battlefield.

Ren Limeng: There should be no problem this time. When I was interviewing, the production team hinted to me that I might go to Mei City. Next week is Huangmei Week, which is a big day every year. How could the production team miss such a good opportunity?

Huangmei Week is the abbreviation of the National Huangmei Opera Lovers Art Week founded by Meishi. It is based on the performances of famous theater troupes such as the Meishi Qianfang Troupe, and invites theaters and societies across the country to gather in Meishi to carry out mass performances. This is the most important day of the year in Meishi after the Spring Festival, and there are enough shows to watch.

As a media professional, Ren Limeng guarantees with her expertise that Mei City will be the second stop of "Shan Hai".

Ren Limeng: Fangfang, I had a thrilling day today. I almost got screwed again. I felt really good during the oral part! I used to be able to write no more than 400 words a minute. Today, I was completely pissed off by the production team!

Ren Limeng: "The entertainment channel is much more shady than our agricultural channel. They reneged on a promise and gave my presentation time to someone else. They just looked down on me because I had no connections. I had to swallow my anger, but I couldn't stand it! I was furious on stage, thinking, 'I'm not fighting for money, I'm fighting for my reputation. I must do my best!' And it worked!"

No matter how calm she looked on stage, when she found out that the time she had worked so hard to fight for was inexplicably "adjusted" to Yan Baiwei, Ren Limeng was actually very angry. A deep sense of powerlessness lingered in her heart, just like many times in the first stop, even if she had high aspirations, she had to face many realities.

Too much of the time, she didn't have the power to choose.

All she could do was fight to the death, try harder and spare no effort in every possible way she could.

Over the years, from a test-taker in a small town to a worker in a big city, Ren Limeng has made every step on her own. She successfully obtained a doctorate, joined Orange, and got the chance to star in "Shan Hai". Only she knows the bitterness in it.

Yan Fangshu: (Hug) (Hug) (Hug)

Yan Fangshu: Mengmeng, you're already amazing! You absolutely dazzled everyone today! Don't be too hard on yourself. I'll always have your back! If you ever feel like quitting, just go back to Mei City. I'm doing well in Qianfang anyway. When the time comes, just announce your performance to me and I'll support you!

Ren Limeng: That’s fine, it’ll just piss my mom off to death.

The actress daughter, who was trained with great effort, first insisted on changing her career and then went back to being an announcer.

The relationship between Ren Limeng and her mother has been in a complicated state of love and hate for so many years. When talking about her mother Wu Murong, Ren Limeng's feelings are more complicated than when she meets Chen Xingzhi. She is not only her mother, but also her and Yan Fangshu's opera master, and the person who is most reluctant for her to leave the opera industry.

Yan Fangshu: Mengmeng! Didn’t we agree last time to try again? You and Teacher Wu have been at peace for so many years, it’s time to put aside the past grudges. After all, Teacher Wu is your mother.

After being confirmed to be on "Shan Hai", Ren Limeng and Yan Fangshu had a lot of fun. Ren Limeng hoped to use this nationally popular S+ variety show to prove to her mother her choice back then, and let her mother see that even after leaving Huangmei Opera, she can still shine on the stage, instead of being a failure as she said.

Ren Limeng is willing to sincerely apologize to her mother Wu Murong. She deserves to apologize to her parents. No matter how much she struggled, hesitated, and was afraid, it was wrong for her to tamper with her college entrance examination application without telling her parents. Over the years, many times when she returned home, Ren Limeng wanted to say "sorry", but more often they gave her cold eyes or stubbornly refused to see her at all.

After twelve whole years, the warm family of three ended with the college entrance examination that year, leaving only three people in a home that didn't feel like home.

Ren Limeng hopes that when she is 30 years old, she can be more mature in facing her parents. Their family should have overcome this increasingly hidden hurdle and moved forward.

Shen Xingzhi's new message popped up again at this time, interrupting the faint sadness in Ren Limeng's eyes.

Chen Xingzhi: Ren Limeng, if you don’t reply to me, I will come to find you.

Shen Xingzhi: You have been looking at your phone, what do you mean by not replying to me?

I don’t want to reply to you!!!

Ren Limeng felt that her training was still not enough. Although she looked dignified and elegant sitting here, she was actually about to explode!

They are all adults, and not replying is the last bit of decency. She doesn't believe that Shen Xingzhi doesn't know!

But she didn’t dare not reply yet, Shen Xingzhi suddenly came to find her, Ren Limeng looked at the guests and staff coming and going, and didn’t dare to think about the wonderful scene.

She just wants to be alone! Can she think about her own things?

Ren Limeng: Chen Xingzhi, I really want to hold my phone up to the camera now, so that everyone can see the indifferent and cold three-time singing king in private.

Ren Limeng: Your character is completely destroyed.

In the center of the first row of the waiting hall, Chen Xingzhi's assistant Xiao Yang was nervously reporting to his boss about his recent work. He was filled with worry when he heard that his agent Xu Jiao's second son was planning to perform in Jiangcheng. As Chen Xingzhi's agency contract was about to expire, the conflict between Chen Xingzhi's own studio and his agency, Hanxing, became increasingly irreconcilable.

"Brother Xingzhi, Sister Jiao isn't here with good intentions this time. She's definitely trying to force you to renew your contract. Should we prepare something in advance?"

After Chen Xingzhi left a message "threatening" Ren Limeng, he put away his phone, supported his arm with his left hand, tilted his head slightly, and looked at the camera crew with his indifferent eyes, and also secretly watched Ren Limeng who was sitting upright in the same direction.
