Chapter 38: Jinjiang Dufa is really a backer for Jiang Chen...
Xu Chen did the number-picking job very smoothly. Jiang Chen didn't ask too many questions and just cooperated as he was told.
From his perspective, it is easy to clarify the rumors. He is Lu Chiyuan's bodyguard and assistant. He graduated from a sports college and has all the relevant certificates. He is not afraid of gossip.
Xu Chen asked him to make full use of his good looks and shot a short video in the conference room to explain.
The lines were written by Xu Chen on the spur of the moment, and Jiang Chen memorized them after reading them twice. He was a little shy in front of the camera, but his articulation was fluent and clear, and people could hear him clearly without subtitles.
In the camera, his fair face has a hint of warmth and his earlobes are slightly red. This natural rawness is just right, making his handsome eyebrows look like they were painted with thick ink, with the texture of ink and wash, clear and smooth.
After watching the video once, Xu Chen was very satisfied. He took charge of the subsequent process, so Jiang Chen didn't have to worry about it.
"I have compiled some information about the entertainment company and have sent it to your computer. Go back and take a look." Xu Chen was going to the public relations department to communicate with them. Before leaving the meeting room, he reminded Jiang Chen to go back and check his computer.
Jiang Chen responded and watched him leave. He sat alone in the conference room for a while before slowly getting up and returning to the office.
The development of events was beyond his expectations. He was walking on a path that the original owner would never have taken. This path was full of unknowns, with flowers, applause, and thorns.
[Qiuqiu, I suddenly feel a little confused. ]
To get from the conference room to the office, you have to pass through the office area. Standing in the aisle and looking over, you can see that everyone is busy, either preparing reports or following up on projects. There is not much free time. Occasionally, they look up and say a few words, which are also related to work.
Life is a journey of adventure. We may stop for the night occasionally, but will soon be on the road again.
Jiang Chen has been going smoothly since he came to this world. His original family background made him not have to worry about how to make a living, so he naturally lived a day-to-day life. Although he worked hard, he never thought about striving for anything.
After meeting Ling Qi and seeing that his career was full of setbacks, Jiang Chen began to think about competing with Gu Tingsen. At that moment, he was no longer living dependent on his original body, but was making his own decisions.
Everything was still going well for him, and opportunities kept coming his way. However, it was because everything was going too smoothly that Jiang Chen felt a little uneasy.
He deviated from the fate of his original body and wrapped himself in new opportunities. Whether it was success or failure, what he left for the original body was no longer an unchanging life.
But is this the life the original person wanted?
[Chenchen, follow your heart.] Snowball said, [Pulling the original body out of the predetermined fate is also a kind of salvation, isn't it?]
Jiang Chen in the story is also a tool in the love life of the hero and heroine, but instead of simply doing bad things, he seems to be fighting for Lu Chiyuan, and even his ending is to speak up for Lu Chiyuan.
If he had not been so obsessed with this story, he would have had a different life.
What Jiang Chen is doing now is just to give him one more choice in his life, a choice that is not influenced by the author.
Xu Chen was very quick. He seized the opportunity of the hot searches in the morning to conduct personal public relations. With the rational operation of the team, the popularity was stirred up again in just one afternoon, and Jiang Chen's account was successfully launched.
Jiang Chen took a nap in the office at noon, and when he woke up, he found several more messages on his phone, including an account link sent by Xu Chen, a work document sent by Lu Mingxuan, and Ling Qi's concern.
Ling Qi must have seen the trending search after work. Earlier he was still comforting Jiang Chen not to worry, saying that the media is used to making up stories and that everything would be fine once the heat died down.
Less than half an hour later, Ling Qi's tone suddenly changed and he sent an exclamation mark.
Ling Qi: [Assistant Jiang, you are actually Mr. Lu’s personal bodyguard! I judged people by their appearance. Crying kittenjpg.]
The original body had indeed been a bodyguard for a long time, but it was an unknown one.
Jiang Chen said: [I have worked there before, and now I am a civilian.]
Ling Qi quickly replied: [You are too modest. Admire jpg.]
Jiang Chen narrowed his eyes slightly, intuitively thinking that Xu Chen must have done something. He found Xu Chen's message and clicked on the link he sent him.
The webpage quickly jumped to his personal account. He did not click on the video, but directly clicked on the comment section.
[But baby, you seem to need a bodyguard more than Mr. Lu!]
[Mr. Lu can easily hold your waist with one hand. You told me that you are 180cm tall. How tall is Mr. Lu?]
[I don't believe it unless you show your abs to prove it.]
[Who would understand? When he smiled while avoiding the camera, his ears turned red because of shyness. It was so astringent. I already had an 800-word pornographic story in my mind.]
[Hand the pen to Madam, Madam, write quickly, I want to see the calm and self-controlled boss and the bodyguard who blushes at the slightest provocation.]
[I c can be an interjection or a verb. Chinese is indeed profound.]
[Baby, boys also need to learn to protect themselves, so what color sack do you like?]
Jiang Chen was happily scrolling through the comments at first, but when he got to the end he remembered that this was his own account and quickly retracted his bared teeth.
Is the direction of this comment section not going in the right direction?
He came out to clarify that the news was false. He and Lu Chiyuan just had a legitimate working relationship, but the comment section showed a tendency to ship them together.
Jiang Cheng exited the webpage and clicked on Xu Chen's dialog box: [Is the comment a bit biased?]
Xu Chen quickly replied: [Controlling the comments.]
After a while, Xu Chen replied: [I asked President Lu, he doesn't mind being tied up, so I won't control him for now.]
Jiang Chen was stunned and replied: [Aren’t you going to clarify the rumors?]
If we don't control the comments, there's little point in the clarification.
Xu Chen: [Your video is just for clarification, no problem. As for the comment section, don’t be so rigid, just let them say what they like.]
Xu Chen replied to Jiang Chen briefly, then raised his head to look at Lu Chiyuan who was watching the video seriously in front of him. He didn't know how many times he had repeated it, and Xu Chen almost memorized the nodes of the music.
"What are you looking at?" Xu Chen didn't understand and glanced at Lu Chiyuan.
Lu Chiyuan never cared about his business, but today he suddenly intervened, which surprised Xu Chen. He originally wanted to control the comments to suppress the comments that mentioned him, but he said no, which stopped Xu Chen's subsequent arrangements.
Xu Chen originally wanted to create an image of a young and masculine person for Jiang Chen, but now he has to change direction.
Lu Chiyuan looked at Jiang Chen who was avoiding the camera, his fair skin was tinged pink, his smile was shy, and his face showed embarrassment.
It was clearly the first time he saw it, but he had a very familiar feeling about it.
But it's still not quite right. The corners of Jiang Chen's eyes should be a little redder, and the blush on his neck should be deeper. His eyes were tearful, and when he looked at him, it was as if he was going to curse.
Lu Chiyuan was slightly startled, his fingers stroking the edge of the phone, his eyebrows drooping, and his slightly blue eyes becoming deep and dangerous.
The familiar feeling that does not belong to memory clearly depicts a picture that should not appear.
"Mr. Lu, have you thought it through? Do you really want to be Jiang Chen's backer?" Xu Chen sat up straight, slid his chair to the table, raised his hand and knocked on the table, drawing Lu Chiyuan's attention back to him.
Jiang Chen’s account has just been opened, and the tags on the first day are very important. Now that the comments are not controlled, even if one person only mentions Lu Chiyuan, he will always be in Jiang Chen’s tags.
What's more, the public relations department has already given a thumbs up. This is the statement of Universal, which indirectly proves that Jiang Chen is indeed an employee of Universal and not a messy relationship.
Xu Chen said: "I won't deliberately guide them, but netizens will make up their own stories, which I can't control. Are you sure you can accept them using your name to go all over Jiang Chen's comment section, and even write little stories about you behind your back, the kind that involve you having sex?"
Lu Chiyuan finally decided to quit the video and looked Xu Chen straight in the eye.
He also saw the comments that Jiang Chen saw. In fact, not only were there comments with lewd intentions, but his account even received private messages. Xu Chen did not close them immediately and received many outrageous photos.
Among them, there was a man who directly sent nude photos and bird photos, asking if he wanted to date her and promising to satisfy her. Xu Chen almost cursed at the man, but he blocked him and closed his private messages.
Lu Chiyuan will not hinder Jiang Chen. He also hopes that Jiang Chen can live out his true self, but if this self faces harassment, he doesn't mind hindering it.
"You don't need to give a direct answer. I can be his label."
Lu Chiyuan's existence is an invisible barrier, and it can also add a little mystery to Jiang Chen. Those who believe will always believe, and those who don't will doubt and deny.
If Lu Chiyuan had not made any statement, removing the label would indeed be the least risky option, but now that Lu Chiyuan has made his statement, this label is a benefit.
Xu Chen didn't expect to hear such self-deprecating words from Lu Chiyuan, and couldn't help laughing. He was not stupid, he saw things more clearly than Lu Mingxuan.
Lu Chiyuan's words not only showed his desire to be a backer, but also showed his strong possessiveness. If he was not worried about causing trouble to Jiang Chen, he would have been eager to announce that Jiang Chen was his.
"Oh, it's my fault. Don't worry, Mr. Lu. I will adjust the plan right away and make sure you get what you want."
Xu Chen secretly teased Lu Chiyuan, withdrew the original plan and made adjustments.
Jiang Chen read the information given by Xu Chen over and over again, and sent a message to Xu Chen asking him if he had time to discuss it.
Xu Chen said he was free, and soon appeared in Jiang Chen's office, with brisk steps and a cheerful mood.
Jiang Chen was typing away on the computer. Xu Chen pulled a chair over and sat down next to him. He looked at the computer and asked, "What are you busy with?"
Jiang Chen turned around and saw Xu Chen was very close to him. He had fair skin, beautiful looks, fluttering silver hair, and a faint pine and cypress fragrance on his body, which smelled very nice.
When he was working seriously, he still looked nonchalant and lazy like a cat, but he was neither aloof nor reserved. Instead, he was clingy.
He saw Jiang Chen writing Lu Chiyuan's schedule for tomorrow, he sighed, raised his hand to poke his face, and said in a narrow-minded tone: "Have you planned his schedule so quickly? Assistant Jiang~"
Xu Chen raised his voice slightly and smiled meaningfully.
Jiang Chen clicked save, switched to another file, and replied casually: "Assistant Lu sent it to me. I have nothing to do now, so I sorted it out."
It was his job anyway, so he didn't think it was a big deal. After saying this, he put his mind to work.
"I've read the information you sent me. Why did you choose this entertainment company? To be honest, their overall strength is too poor. No matter which aspect the data is, it's very average."
Jiang Chen also wanted to be more tactful, but after reading the information, he found that there was no place to be tactful, so he frowned while expressing his opinion.
Xu Chen leaned back in his chair: "This is the company I chose for you. Its overall strength is not good, but its ceiling is high. It has produced a hit drama before, and there is no messy marketing that makes the company full of smoke and miasma."
Jiang Chen noticed this, but compared to the other parts, this advantage was too small. He smiled helplessly and said, "There are so many bad dramas."
It was only when he clicked on the information that he discovered that the crappy drama he had watched with Lu Chiyuan before was produced by this company's small workshop. It was obviously a horror movie, but it left him speechless. He was so scared at the time that he didn't even have time to feel excited, and all he could do was complain.
Xu Chen did not refute, but nodded in agreement: "It is a bit much. But it doesn't matter, because of this, you can make drastic reforms. If the benefits are considerable, the top management will not let outsiders in to make decisions."
In the entertainment industry, Huanyu is more of a holding company, with no restrictions or management, allowing the company to grow wildly. Xu Chen considered the conditions of various companies, compared them, and finally chose this one.
This company is located locally, is large in scale, and has an existing team. However, its biggest problem is that the management is not good at management, and makes decisions on the spur of the moment, often acting on impulse. This has led to a lack of successors within the company and a lack of resources.
At this time, if the management is replaced, there will be minimal obstacles and it will be most convenient for Jiang Chen.
"This company has two more temptations you can't refuse." Xu Chen looked at Jiang Chen and threw out his final bait, "Ling Qi is in this company. He is currently the company's main focus. You poached him here, do you want to watch him remain unknown?"
Jiang Chen was speechless. He only knew that Ling Qi had changed companies, but he didn't know which one he changed to. Xu Chen's words made him feel a little guilty. Ling Qi was so grateful to him and gave him a gift.
Seeing that he was wavering, Xu Chen continued to persuade him, "The most important point is that Lu Chiyuan is the largest shareholder of this company."
Jiang Chen heard the unusual key words in the conversation and asked in surprise: "Individual? It has nothing to do with the universe?"
Xu Chen nodded: "You can say that. The poor management of this company is a long-term problem. Many people have sold their shares. Lu Chiyuan didn't take over the family business in his early years. When he was working alone, he was like the God of Wealth, responding to every request. After a while, he bought a lot and finally became the largest shareholder."
Xu Chen recalled Lu Chiyuan at that time, young and energetic, who dared to take over any mess.
He actually had the idea of improving the management of the company, but because the Lu family wanted to expand overseas markets, his parents called him back home to run the family business. This idea was temporarily put on hold, and the company was allowed to maintain its status quo.
Xu Chen was more or less selfish. He handed the business over to Jiang Chen and let Jiang Chen make decisions in the same position as Lu Chiyuan did back then. Watching this half-dead company come back to life, wasn't it also an emotional resonance between the past and the present?
