Chapter 45 Script

He didn't tell Sheng Zhao what he thought of himself, but just remained calm and silent as always.

Sheng Zhao didn't have the mind to ask any further questions.

She understood his hidden thoughts but was too lazy to point them out. She was just surprised that Yu Shiyun had always stood on good terms with her brother, but now she was trying to distance herself from him in some way.

Those words he said, thinking Sheng Cehan would poison him, were not meant kindly.

As the most popular movie at present, "Back to the Past", although the male lead is currently caught up in a scandal and a mistress scandal, the movie is still popular on the entire Internet because of its excellence.

Li Ji also went to see it.

After watching it, he was silent for a moment before saying, "I wish it wasn't played by Chen Shuoxing."

Li Ji doesn't like Chen Shuoxing.

The condescending and distant indifference, the gaze as if looking at inferior goods is really disgusting.

But he liked the movie.

Sheng Zhao thought about the plot. The script was indeed top-notch, so it was natural for him to like it. But he still asked, "What do you like?"

She prefers the special effects of mechas and the grand battle backgrounds.

Li Ji thought for a moment, looked at the ceiling and said, "I like the male lead."

"—Like he has done countless times, resolving his own responsibilities before searching for his lover, always searching, lost in time."

“It’s a very touching perspective.”

Sheng Zhao was chatting with him, and Li Ji's fingertips were stroking her hair, then he lowered his head slightly, rubbed his nose and sniffed.

He lowered his eyes, his long eyelashes fluttering, concealing his dark emotions, his thin lips rubbing against his hair, like the most docile wild dog.

The two of them couldn't utter any sweet and affectionate words, and only by staying together quietly like this could Li Ji feel at ease.

He looked at the online turmoil with a deep feeling. He pursed his lips for a long time before asking her softly, "...Did you and Chen Shuoxing kiss?"

"Are you curious?"

She smiled, but asked him with her eyes curved instead of answering.

Li Ji's expression was very calm. His face was dull and his words seemed to pause with helplessness, and then he glanced away.

“…Don’t answer a question with a question.”

"Then let me tell you, we didn't kiss, it was just that the paparazzi caught it well."

She also deliberately found the angle.

That misplaced kissing photo was so real. How did he ask this question? Was it just for a sense of security?

Sheng Zhao seemed a little confused, so he asked, "Most people wouldn't be able to tell that the photo was misplaced, right? They would think it was a real kiss. Why are you asking this?"

Li Ji's fingertips tightened slightly, and he seemed to be happy to hear the answer. He said in a hoarse voice, "You have to ask, right?"

"And..." He stretched out his voice and lowered it, as if he was just talking to himself, "I just hope you don't... kiss him."

"I wish you would only kiss me."

The atmosphere was ambiguous and lingering, the temperature was rising, and Li Ji's breathing was subdued.

But Sheng Zhao suddenly spoke up, pointing out the error in what he had just said, and said sternly, "Don't answer a question with a question, big star Li, and don't just ask me and not ask you."

The atmosphere suddenly froze.

"uh-huh."

Li Ji was stunned for a moment, then sneered and agreed nonchalantly.

He leaned closer and hugged Sheng Zhao, burying his head on her shoulder. He took a long breath and spoke in a low, hoarse voice after a long time.

"Sheng Zhao, I feel like I can't live without you."

The ending sound is silent.

————————————

Sheng Cehan thinks they are all trash.

Shen Moyi is a stupid waste who became motionless and cowardly after being easily warned. Chen Shuoxing, on the other hand, has some tricks up his sleeve but is still caught up in the scandal and cannot extricate himself. His Weibo account is almost paralyzed.

He lowered his head slightly anxiously, looking at the message on his phone but there was no response.

It is obvious that when he was an older brother, he could get some attention from his Zhao Zhao, at least not like now, where all his messages were ignored.

He could no longer see his Zhao Zhao. No matter what excuse he made, he would refuse her. No matter what he did, he would not receive Zhao Zhao's mercy.

Sheng Cehan was a little crazy. His face was cold, but his fingers were tightly curled up and trembling slightly.

What to do what ... -

Zhao Zhao is going to become someone else's.

Crazy thoughts rushed into his mind, Sheng Cehan lowered his head, bit his lower lip and panted slightly.

He was in a trance, biting his lower lip until it bled without any reaction, as if he felt no pain at all.

“Tick-tock.”

The blood from his lower lip fell to the ground, and along with the white porcelain tiles, the exploding blood beads brought Sheng Cehan back to his senses.

He took a deep breath, his eyes darkened, and then he suddenly thought of something.

Sheng Entertainment has signed a new group of newcomers. As a giant in the entertainment industry, newcomers are not a big deal, but one of them already had a certain fame before signing the contract and his appearance was also outstanding.

He was a key person in the training plan, and even Sheng Zhao took a second look at his information.

The young man with dazzling blonde hair is named Xie Huaining. He is cheerful and lively. Before he became famous, he was an underground idol full of energy and was deeply loved by otakus.

He has become a real part of the entertainment industry by breaking out of the circle and joined Sheng Entertainment, which is very strict in selecting candidates.

As the president, she always has to show up at the company's large-scale team-building activities. Although Sheng Zhao has little interest in this and doesn't like crowded scenes, she is still dragged here by Yu Shiyun.

As for why she didn't like it, on the one hand, she was born not to like these lively and noisy scenes, and on the other hand, there were many male celebrities in the company, and each of them would get close to her when they saw the right opportunity. They were either naive people with spilled wine glasses or mature men with strong purpose -

Emerging in endlessly.

She really didn't want to deal with these people.

This was a huge dance party, with people drinking and chatting, and men and women dressed in gorgeous clothes. Shengshi Entertainment's "team building" was also a way to deepen the connections between artists and give some less famous little stars some opportunities.

Even though Sheng Zhao didn't like it, she still went on stage and said a few words according to convention, and then slipped away immediately after she finished speaking.

It's nothing more than that, with you the company will get better and better——

We work hard together and strive for progress. As long as there is love, we can become a big family.

Adding glory to Sheng's family——

No, what are these words? Why do they sound so much like the MLM tactics of a third-rate company?

Sheng Zhao's expression was hard to describe when she was reading the manuscript. She stumbled and couldn't continue reading. She turned her head to look at Yu Shiyun who was standing backstage.

He prepared the manuscript.

Yu Shiyun pushed up his glasses and raised the corners of his lips slightly. The light reflected off his glasses, emitting a strange glow for a moment.

…Looks like this was his little revenge.

As a top student at National Tsing Hua University, giving a speech was a natural thing for her. After reading the manuscript, she changed the subject and thought about it on her own without the help of the manuscript, and finally spoke normally.

After the speech, Sheng Zhao took the manuscript and walked to the lounge. Yu Shiyun had obviously been waiting for a long time. Sheng Zhao was calm and raised his hand to gently adjust the angle and put the speech manuscript on his head.

Yu Shiyun paused, her body stiff and expressionless as she stared at the speech manuscript.

"Deduct half a year's salary."

“…How harsh.”

"There are even stricter ones. You are not allowed to fall down, otherwise you will be penalized for one year."

Sheng Zhao sat on the chair, looking at him teasingly, lazy but surprisingly imposing.

“Hmm—”

Then he lowered his head and took a sip of coffee. As soon as he took a sip, he frowned because of the bitterness and stuck out his tongue.

So bitter.

Only then did Yu Shiyun slightly curl the corners of his lips and gently reminded, "Mr. Sheng, this is my coffee."

So no sugar added on purpose?

Sheng Zhao paused, pushed away his coffee, looked at Yu Shiyun, and said softly, "The bonus has also been deducted."

"You're a terrible capitalist indeed."

Yu Shiyun complained with a blank expression, holding the speech manuscript on his head.

Just as the two were talking to each other, the door of the lounge suddenly opened. The moment Yu Shiyun and Sheng Zhao turned their heads, the folder containing the speech manuscript above Yu Shiyun's head fell to the ground with a "click".

Suddenly, the lounge became extremely quiet.

Yu Shiyun pursed her lips and said softly, "This is the CEO's lounge. Outsiders are not allowed in."

The young man with dazzling golden hair was stunned for a moment, then he looked at the sign at the door in panic and hurriedly bowed his head to apologize.

"Yes, yes, yes, I'm sorry, Mr. Sheng! I'm new here so I don't know the way. I wanted to attend the dance but I didn't know how to get there, so I ended up here."

He was obviously very panicked, and the handsome and sunny boy hurriedly explained.

The boy has handsome features, a high nose bridge, and eyes that are bright and dazzling as if they contain light. He is not short in height, and is at the junction of boyhood and youth, with broad shoulders and a narrow waist, bright and clear, like a boy born from the intersection of moonlight and sunlight.

"Who are you...?" Sheng Zhao frowned slightly and asked.

Yu Shiyun also frowned slightly, lowered her head to pick up the folder that fell on the ground, and looked up at him again.

"Don't you know me?"

The young man seemed stunned for a moment, with a complex emotion in his eyes. He looked up at Sheng Zhao and introduced himself, "My name is Xie Huaining, and I'm a new trainee."

Sheng Zhao frowned slightly.

A trainee isn't worth her knowing, right?

Xie Huaining seemed to see Sheng Zhao's emotions and stammered to explain, "Because my agent told me that I was the most promising and Mr. Sheng valued me very much, so I thought Mr. Sheng had heard my songs or seen my performance."

“…I ended up getting scammed by my agent.”

He stuck out his tongue and turned this embarrassing situation into a joke.

It is hard to say whether some agents would make big promises to motivate their artists, so Sheng Zhao didn't think there was anything wrong with the agent using her name to make big promises. After all, she actually took a look at the artist's information.

Sheng Zhao nodded, then looked at Yu Shiyun, pointed at the folder he had just dropped and picked up, and chuckled, "Your salary is gone."

"Thank you so much, Mr. Sheng."

Yu Shiyun's expression remained unchanged, but her gaze lingered on Xie Huaining who was standing beside her.

Although he had a blank expression on his face, it was obvious that he was asking, why aren't you leaving yet?

Xie Huaining paused, scratched his head with his fingertips, his eyes filled with embarrassment and shame, and whispered, "I'm sorry, Mr. Sheng, and this person..."

He seemed to have no idea who Yu Shiyun was.

"Secretary Yu."

Yu Shiyun reminded him calmly, but did not tell him his name.

The young man was obviously even more embarrassed, his ears turning red like agate. He murmured, "President Sheng and Secretary Yu, I'm lost... This hotel is so big that I don't know where everyone else is."

Yu Shiyun walked towards Xie Huaining, nodded slightly, and said, "Then please follow me, Mr. Xie. I will take you there."

By this time, Sheng Zhao had had enough of being idle and it was time for him to go out and meet everyone, so he followed Yu Shiyun and the others out.

Xie Huaining was obviously a little nervous, with his head lowered and trembling, and his dazzling golden hair was slightly dimmed.

Sheng Zhao was slightly puzzled. She wouldn't eat people, would she?

She also considerately stayed away from the new young artist.

When they arrived at where everyone was, Xie Huaining was obviously relieved. He looked at Sheng Zhao with sparkling eyes, bowed his head, and his voice was clear and mellow, with a hint of embarrassment.

"Thank you, Mr. Sheng... I thought Mr. Sheng was a serious middle-aged man, but I didn't expect him to be so young and approachable."

Yu Shiyun stared at the handsome young man until he and Sheng Zhao exchanged a few words and left.

Xie Huaining rushed into the trainee team with brisk steps and leaned on one of them's shoulders. The boys in the team complained that he was late.

"Ningning, why are you so late? And—"

The trainee boy looked towards Sheng Zhao, who had just come with Xie Huaining, then quickly stepped back and lowered his voice, "And he came with President Sheng."

The other young men also looked at Xie Huaining with different expressions.

Xie Huaining stuck out his tongue awkwardly and explained, "I got lost, and then I ran into President Sheng and Secretary Yu, and they brought me here."

As he explained this, he chatted and laughed with everyone, his smile bright and beautiful.

Obviously, Xie Huaining, the newcomer who signed the contract not long ago, has a very good relationship with others.

But one of the boys said in a long, sarcastic tone, "Hey, you're lost. How did you end up in Mr. Sheng's lounge?"

Xie Huaining pursed his lips, obviously feeling a little aggrieved.

Everyone could understand the young man's sarcasm.

Before he could say anything, the teenagers surrounding him started barking back, "What do you mean? Our Ningning is not that kind of person."

"You're so jealous! Our Ningning has become so familiar to President Sheng. Are you dying of jealousy?"

"It's just that Ningning is lucky, he didn't do it on purpose."

…

These words were used to criticize the sarcastic young man. The sarcastic trainee's face turned cold, and he turned and left with a snort. Before leaving, he glanced fiercely at Xie Huaining, who was surrounded by the crowd and had a grateful and innocent face.

After observing the entire farce, Yu Shiyun's eyes darkened slightly, and she spoke softly in a voice as clear as jade spring water, "It really looks like..."

It seems to be an exclamation.

"Like what?"

Sheng Zhao ate the small cake on the table, swallowed a mouthful of juice, and looked at Yu Shiyun curiously.

"Like, the novel script of the overbearing president and the little white flower."

"……What?"

Sheng Zhao looked confused and didn't quite understand.

Yu Shiyun paused, then gently pushed up her glasses, closed her eyes slightly, and thought for a moment before speaking.

"No, it's like the novel script of the black-bellied fox Xiao Baihua CEO and Xiao Baihua."

Sheng Zhao:...?
