Chapter 57: Conspiracy



Wen Zhi froze in place, clutching the sleeves of his pajamas, afraid that he might recognize the wrong person because of his dazzled eyes. By the time he reacted, Si Mingchen had already stood up and walked in front of him. What he saw was Wen Zhi's thin and simple pajamas.

Wen Zhi's face instantly turned red, and he spoke in a gentle voice: "Why didn't you tell me you were here?"

Si Mingchen put one hand in his pocket and looked at him gently: "Zhizhi is going to shoot an intimate scene today, and she didn't tell me."

"How can this be the same thing?" Wen Zhi deliberately argued, "This is a small matter. You are busy with all kinds of things. You don't need to worry about such things. Besides, you already know the content of the script."

Si Mingchen thought thoughtfully: "Zhizhi makes sense."

Wen Zhi just breathed a sigh of relief when Si Mingchen looked past him and looked at the crew: "Is the actor who will stand in for Wen Zhi's bed here?"

"What do you want to see him for?" Wen Zhi ran in front of Si Mingchen, "I don't have a bed to substitute for the actor."

"No? Why did I hear that just now?"

Si Mingchen was dressed in black, looking slender and cool under the dim light. The light from the opposite side followed his outline, and it was not an exaggeration to say that he looked like an actor preparing to go on stage.

The director whispered to his assistant, "Mr. Si is indeed good-looking and tall enough."

...

...

The assistant agreed: "Mr. Si is not much different in height from Teacher Song, and their body shapes are similar. If they lie down, you shouldn't be able to tell them apart."

The director touched his chin and asked, "Does the Content Department know everything?"

The assistant said, "Yes, Mr. Si seems to know the plot in advance, and even memorizes it better than the actors."

The director laughed secretly and joked, "Mr. Si probably watched it in the middle of the night when he had nothing to do, and he was so anxious after watching it that he couldn't sleep."

The assistant made a "hush" gesture.

Here, Wen Zhi was still dealing with Si Mingchen.

"Anyway, I don't have a bed stand-in, so if you want to film with someone else, there's no point."

Seeing Wen Zhi spreading his hands and starting to act like a spoiled brat, Si Mingchen raised his eyebrows: "Okay, then I'll take a photo with you."

Wen Zhi was no longer nervous. He took Si Mingchen's hand and said earnestly like an old senior: "This is your first time filming, so it must not be perfect. I will teach you. Don't be anxious."

Si Mingchen nodded in cooperation: "Thank you for your hard work."

Wen Zhi patted Simingchen's chest and flirted with him: "It's okay, relax. No matter how you act, I love you."

Siming suppressed his smile and said, "Thank you."

Wen Zhi pulled Si Mingchen into the dressing room and said, "I'll guide you in changing clothes and teach you some acting skills. Don't thank me. This is what I should do as your lover."

After hearing Wen Zhi's words, the people around looked at each other. They suspected that Si Mingchen was being PUA'd by Wen Zhi.

In the fitting room, Si Mingchen was taking off his clothes.

Wen Zhi stood in front of him, his eyes slightly scrutinizing: "This plot is about you and I restraining ourselves for a long time, and finally choosing to give up on each other. But an opportunity made us unable to restrain our love for each other any longer, and we became harmonious for love in a flash of lightning."

Si Mingchen: "It's not you and me, it's you and Song Chengyu, I'm just a substitute."

Wen Zhi curled his lips: "Don't say it so harshly, you are his stand-in in the play, and he is yours outside the play--"

Wen Zhi was choking on the second half of his sentence when he was speaking. Si Mingchen looked at him with a deep gaze, "Outside the play, is he mine?"

Wen Zhi: "Outside the play, you are my true white moonlight, my precious sweetheart."

Simingchen stretched out his arms: "Help me change my clothes."

Wen Zhi shyly replied, "Okay."

Ten minutes later, Wen Zhi took Si Mingchen out, and the director said, "Mr. Si, we need to help you apply some oil here to make your muscles more shiny and hormonal under the camera."

Wen Zhi was eager to try: "Should I apply it?"

Director: "No, you don't have muscles."

Wen Zhi: “…” There’s no need to be so blunt.

Si Mingchen took off his coat, and three makeup artists immediately came over to help him put on makeup. Wen Zhi, who was standing aside with nothing to do, began to direct the work.

"Apply some on it to make your chest muscles look bigger."

"Should I add some shadow powder here? I think it will be more dramatic."

"Si Mingchen's skin is too white. I think a tan would be better."

At this time, Song Chengyu and Jiang Xingnan happened to come over together, and the makeup artist asked: "Is it painted to the color of Mr. Song's muscles?"

Si Mingchen stared at Wen Zhi, waiting for his answer.

Wen Zhi pulled back in time: "I think it's good to have whiter skin. Our Si Mingchen is naturally beautiful."

The director was speechless, and everyone seemed to have forgotten who the director was.

Ten minutes later, the preparations were completed and filming began.

Wen Zhi and Si Mingchen's scenes are not too exciting, so there is no need to clear the entire scene, just leave Song Chengyu and the director's team.

"Boss Si, you don't have to act too hard. Just follow the steps I gave you and express your true feelings."

The words "true feelings revealed" were said with great skill. Wen Zhi sighed, no wonder he is a leader.

The first shot is Si Mingchen pushing Wen Zhi against the wall. Wen Zhi struggles hard, and finally the two of them have a conflict of wits and a French kiss.

Before Wen Zhi started, he sprayed some breath freshener and handed it to Si Mingchen: "Do you want it?"

Just as Si Mingchen was about to take it, Wen Zhi took it back: "I was just teasing you. Originally, I prepared this for Brother Song. Since it's you, you don't need it."

Si Mingchen's expression was stiff: "Thank you."

Song Chengyu smiled, supported his head with his arms, and leaned back in the chair to rest.

"start."

Half of the lights in the house went out instantly.

Wen Zhi's heart was pounding. He was trapped against the wall by Si Mingchen and couldn't move.

He suddenly felt a little bit in love with wallpaper.

In order to quickly get into the plot, Wen Zhi cleared his mind of distracting thoughts and began to concentrate on acting with Si Mingchen.

Si Mingchen in the play is much stronger than in real life. Wen Zhi pressed tightly against the wall with his back frozen.

The two hadn't seen each other for a week, and their longing for each other became stronger and stronger. Wen Zhi looked eager as she held Si Mingchen's face.

At this moment, Si Mingchen picked him up.

Compared to their usual interactions, this scene is more intense and the emotional conflict is more obvious.

Wen Zhi tried hard to imagine Si Mingchen as a character in a movie, struggling slightly, trying to keep the two of them in this irrational moment.

But his resistance only aroused Si Mingchen's desire to conquer him. Wen Zhi was dazzled by the light of the camera and was about to suffocate.

At this time, Si Mingchen lifted him up with his arm strength and bit Wen Zhi as required by the script.

Wen Zhi squinted his eyes in pain.

"Card."

"The effect is good. Passed."

After Si Mingchen let Wen Zhi go, a staff member immediately handed him his coat. He fastened it slowly and looked down at Wen Zhi's lips: "Is it torn?"

Wen Zhi's lips were flushed, and she blinked gently: "No, it just hurts a little."

Si Mingchen blamed himself: "Sorry, I didn't control my strength well."

"It's okay, I'm not that squeamish."

During the intermission, Jiang Xingnan came in with other staff members and sat aside to listen to the director discuss the evening dinner.

He had originally left the crew, but the director said that it was rare for everyone to be together today, and Si Mingchen was also there, so everyone just had a meal.

In the past, Jiang Xingnan didn't care about this kind of dinner parties. Firstly, he was afraid that the investors would force him to drink, and secondly, he didn't like socializing. But the atmosphere of today's dinner must be very good. He refused a notice and drove here alone.

"I baked some cookies, everyone try them."

After receiving the biscuits that Jiang Xingnan enthusiastically distributed, Wen Zhi thanked him and immediately opened them and started eating them in small bites.

The biscuits taste good, with red bean milk and crispy texture, which is very suitable for replenishing blood sugar when you are tired after filming.

Wen Zhi ate ten pieces in one breath.

"Sisi, are the cookies delicious?"

Simingchen took a bite and said, "Hmm."

Wen Zhi's eyes lit up: "Can I bake cookies for you in the future?"

Before Si Mingchen could speak, the director interrupted: "I didn't expect that our Xiao Wen is such a virtuous and gentle boy."

Wen Zhi grinned and signaled with his eyes: "Then can you share the remaining cookies with me?"

Si Mingchen smiled. It turned out that Wen Zhi was waiting for him here.

"Want some of my cookies?"

"Um!"

Si Mingchen handed it to Wen Zhi's mouth, and when Wen Zhi was about to eat it, he quickly took it back and put it into his own mouth.

Looking at Wen Zhi's frustrated look, he smiled.

The angry Wen Zhi is exactly the same as he was in high school.

The two people's playfulness attracted the attention of others.

Jiang Xingnan smiled and said, "It feels like the relationship between President Si and Xiao Wen has become much sweeter."

Song Chengyu looked at him: "You can if you want."

Jiang Xingnan's expression suddenly became awkward, and he quickly stood up and gave all the remaining cookies to Wen Zhi.

Wen Zhi was in a bad mood, but after receiving the cookies, he smiled and thanked Jiang Xingnan: "You are so nice."

Jiang Xingnan smiled and said, "It's time for you to start filming. I'm leaving first."

Song Chengyu followed Jiang Xingnan with his eyes until he left, then he withdrew his gaze dimly.

In the second scene, with the experience from the previous scene, Si Mingchen was no longer tense and was obviously relaxed, and he and Wen Zhi also gradually got into the state.

Wen Zhi's head was buried in the pillow, his neck slightly raised, a thin layer of sweat seeping out of his skin.

The strong warm light was blinding, and Wen Zhi exhaled a hot breath.

Whenever he thought of himself filming, he always felt a little strange and embarrassed, especially when the three gazes from the opposite side were focused seriously on him and Si Mingchen, making his ears hotter and hotter, and a hint of embarrassment filled his eyes.

After it was over, Wen Zhi felt like he had just been pulled out of the water, with sweat all over his hair.

All the lights were turned on at this moment, and the scenes just now appeared before my eyes again.

His toes curled up slightly, and his bright pupils looked at Si Mingchen beside him, then secretly glanced at the staff opposite, and immediately crawled into the bed, covering himself with the blanket and waiting until he was less shy to come out.

The director smiled and said, "As expected of a couple, they are very familiar with each other. Mr. Si is a good actor."

Si Mingchen: "You also said it, true feelings are revealed."

Director: "Then please let Mr. Song and Xiao Wen take the stage. Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Si."

Simingchen nodded, lifted Wen Zhi's quilt, and wiped his sweat with a tissue: "Come out, it's time to continue filming."

Wen Zhi covered himself with the quilt and nodded gently.

When Song Chengyu came over, he asked with concern: "Do you need to take a shower and change clothes?"

Wen Zhi glanced at the tight time and said, "No need, Sisi has already wiped the sweat off for me."

Soon, the filming was over and the crew invited Si Mingchen to have dinner together.

The atmosphere at the table was good, with not so many toasts and flattery.

Si Mingshen didn't talk much, he mostly listened, and the rest of the time he basically spent eating with Wen Zhi and peeling shrimp for him.

After dinner, Si Mingchen stayed in the crew, ready to accompany Wen Zhi all night, but because there was a multinational morning meeting at six o'clock the next morning, the two took a shower and prepared to rest.

Before going to bed, Wen Zhi leaned in Si Mingchen's arms: "What meeting is so important?"

Si Mingchen: "Recently, I have been busy with the projects in the science park, developing future technology projects, which will be invested in heavy industry and some areas of life in the future."

Wen Zhi nodded: "It will take a lot of research and development funds, right?"

Si Mingchen: “Well, the construction of the large-scale science and technology park in Jiangjing South District alone cost a lot of money, accounting for 5% of the group’s total expenditure in the first half of the year.”

Wen Zhi took a science and technology course similar to artificial intelligence in college. After thinking for a while, he said: "I think the potential is still huge. It is said that technology changes life, and everything will become very convenient in the future."

Si Mingchen turned over, hugged Wen Zhi's waist, and buried his chin in his neck: "Our first product has been developed, and the press conference will be held in half a month. I would like to invite you to be the spokesperson."

Wen Zhi's eyebrows curved, but she pretended to be arrogant: "Invite me to be the spokesperson? How much is the endorsement fee?"

Si Mingchen: “It’s free.”

Wen Zhi narrowed his eyes: "You want to get my hands on me for free?"

Si Mingchen smiled and said, "Baby, given our relationship, there's no need to use this word."

Wen Zhi wrapped himself in a thin blanket: "Then I'll think about it."

Holding Wen Zhi in his arms, Si Mingchen's energy for the day was almost exhausted and he felt very tired. He worked overtime until late last night and hardly got a good rest. He said with a slightly nasal tone: "Okay."

Wen Zhi patted his head and said, "Go to sleep, dear boy."

Si Mingchen: "Good night,"

The night deepened quietly, and seven days passed in a flash. Wen Zhi welcomed the wrap-up party of the movie.

In three days, Si Sheng Technology's first virtual interactive screen will hold a press conference. Due to lack of time, Si Mingchen was unable to go to the scene in person to help Wen Zhi celebrate.

Wen Zhi not only received gifts from Song Chengyu and Jiang Xingnan, but also received flowers sent by fans. Two long rows of hydrangeas were decorated in an exquisite basket, symbolizing a flourishing of flowers and a bright future. Wen Zhi was both excited and moved.

Seeing that Wen Zhi was about to cry, Qing Wan joked, "Don't forget, you are one of the four newly banned people."

Wen Zhi sniffed the light pink hydrangea and was very fond of it: "Then I also like the flowers given to me by my fans. You can reimburse them for these flowers."

Qing Wan smiled and shook her head: "Okay, okay, I'll listen to you."

That night, the official Weibo account of the movie "Hope" uploaded the final photos and sincerely thanked every actor for their contribution to the movie. The official Weibo account also cueed Si Mingchen who made a special appearance, hoping that everyone would go to the cinema to support all the main creators.

Netizens were very surprised when they received the news, after all, the idea of ​​Si Mingchen acting in a movie sounded a bit fake.

Soon, Si Mingchen's joining the movie "Hope" became a hot topic and sparked widespread discussion among netizens.

At this time, the official Weibo account of Si Sheng Technology simultaneously announced that Wen Zhi will become the brand’s first spokesperson from now on and will attend the new product launch conference three days later.

This piece of news was originally just an ordinary endorsement announcement, but it attracted quite a bit of attention.

[You may not know that Si Sheng Technology is also called MG abroad, which is the abbreviation of magic gift. Many of the products they have developed have been patented internationally. Recently, they plan to enter the field of life. My boyfriend works at Si Sheng Technology. ]

[I took a look at the new product and heard it was very high-tech, a bit like a scientific design from the future. ]

[Si Sheng invested a lot of money in this project. The Science and Technology Park spent a lot of money, and the budget of their advertising department was beyond imagination. ]

[I know that the Science and Technology Park covers an area of ​​356 hectares, and the largest double-star building has been replaced with a huge poster of Wen Zhi. ]

[Wen Zhiniu commented, this publicity effort is incredible. ]

[If you ask me, working hard is not as good as marrying well. I really envy Wen Zhi for having such a good husband. ]

[What the hell, does endorsing my own brand poke your lungs? ]

[Tomorrow’s brand launch conference has invited many technology giants to attend, including a certain foreign C brand. ]

[I actually don’t quite believe in Sisheng’s technology. Can it really realize a virtual interactive screen? I see the new product is a portable computer that can be used for work anytime and anywhere. The screen can be projected anywhere, including in the air without a carrier, and it only costs 98,000 yuan per unit. ]

[How about we wait for tomorrow's press conference? ]

Wen Zhi likes to surf the Internet, so naturally he also saw the relevant comments. He knew that this new product launch was very important to Si Mingchen, and many industry leaders were waiting to see whether this patented technology could be implemented and mass-produced.

As a spokesperson, his job is not only to shoot good commercials, but also to promote new products to improve sales.

So when shooting the commercial, Wen Zhi, dressed in white home clothes, was very attentive, striving to achieve the most perfect presentation so that the commercial would give people a comfortable and relaxing feeling.

This was the first time the photographer met Wen Zhi. He originally thought that as Si Mingchen's partner, Wen Zhi would be very arrogant and difficult to approach and cooperate with. However, he did not expect that Wen Zhi had an unexpectedly good temper and was not impatient at all. After watching the finished film, he even took the initiative to ask for a reshoot.

The photographer was pleasant and the normal shoot went very smoothly. After walking out of the camera, Wen Zhi was so tired that he fell asleep immediately. If he didn't have to try on the clothes for tomorrow's press conference, he wouldn't want to open his eyes at all.

Qing Wan said distressedly: "Take a rest first. I'll send someone to get the clothes. You wait here."

Wen Zhi shook his head: "I'll go with you. If the effect is not good, we can replace it on the spot."

Seeing that Wen Zhi attached so much importance to this press conference, Qing Wan laughed and teased, "It's really our own business, why are you so concerned about it?"

Wen Zhi shook his head: "Si Mingchen has been working overtime for two consecutive days and couldn't go home. He stayed in the science park late at night to preside over the work. As a spokesperson, of course I have to do my best."

Qing Wan sighed: "Your husband is so lucky to marry you."

Wen Zhi got into the nanny car, closed her eyes and took a short rest in the back seat.

A few days ago, when he was chatting with Ming Yantang and looking up information about Si Sheng Science and Technology Park, Ming Yantang casually mentioned that Si Mingchen had a dispute with the board of directors over the science and technology park. Only then did Wen Zhi know that the science and technology park was a project that Si Mingchen was determined to promote in the country despite all objections.

In simple terms, if the new product launch conference is not successful, it will be a big challenge to Si Mingchen's prestige and decision-making ability.

So Wen Zhi paid more attention to this matter.

Fortunately, the suit prepared by the brand for Wen Zhi suits his temperament very well. The V-neck design not only stretches his neck line, but the waist-pinching design also shows his perfect proportions, making his back tall and slender.

Wen Zhi fixed his cuffs: "Sister Qing, let's go."

Qingwan saw that he was satisfied and nodded: "OK."

Two days later, the press conference was officially held.

The science and technology park has already gathered celebrities and bigwigs from all over the country, and five parking lots alone have been activated.

Wen Zhi walked in the brightly lit hall and immediately attracted attention. Everyone turned around to look at him.

Standing five meters in front of Wen Zhi on the right was a blond-haired, blue-eyed man named Louis.

He was holding a wine glass, his deep blue eyes were charming, and he had received many ambiguous looks.

Louis’ assistant whispered, “This is Si Mingchen’s lover.”

Wherever Louis’ eyes went, they were full of scrutiny and inquiry: “Well, Mr. Si’s lover is very beautiful, no wonder Sang has a kind of crazy desire for her.”

The assistant raised an eyebrow: "But it is said that it looks good but is not practical."

Louis smiled while holding a glass of red wine: “Then we’ll wait and see.”

Assistant: "Don't worry, it has been arranged."

Hearing that Wen Zhi had arrived, Si Mingchen and his team came out from the backstage to greet everyone.

The scene was lively for a while.

Surrounded by the crowd and the flash lights of the reporters, Si Mingchen politely declined the current interview, saying only that there would be a special interview time later, and then rushed to Wen Zhi's side.

Naturally, the reporters would not miss the opportunity to see the two of them in the same frame. Their cameras kept flashing, capturing the shot of Si Mingchen and Wen Zhi holding hands.

Wen Zhi was not afraid of the camera. He nodded and smiled at the camera openly. He wore a white deep V suit with a tie clip, looking like a noble gentleman.

An entertainment reporter said: "I always feel that Wen Zhi's temperament has changed a lot since we met not long ago. His every move has the demeanor of a top star."

Another person echoed: "Red energy nourishes people. Don't you think Wen Zhi is getting more and more beautiful?"

"Clothes make the man. Wen Zhi's clothes are all limited editions. After he became famous, brands rushed to make custom clothes for him."

In addition to appearing as a spokesperson today, Wen Zhi also has other tasks. A microcomputer is like a watch, worn on the wrist. He needed to demonstrate it to everyone on the spot and project a video in mid-air to show this black technology.

So Wen Zhi briefly said goodbye to Si Mingchen and went backstage with the staff to prepare.

On the way backstage, he heard a lot of discussions about the press conference.

A large number of technology companies are not optimistic about this product of SiSheng Technology, and some even secretly predict its downfall.

Some even said that the investment in this product was the beginning of the financial hole in Si Sheng Group.

Wen Zhi walked steadily, different from his usual cheerful self, and thought about these issues very seriously.

Backstage, a staff member in a black suit put the two watch straps in a box and handed it to Wen Zhi.

Seeing that Wen Zhi was a little puzzled, the staff looked at him and slowly explained: "We are a technological product. Once a mistake is made during the demonstration of a new product, the consequences will be disastrous. So we prepared two products. When product A fails, product B will be used as a backup."

Wen Zhi picked up the spare product and started debugging. He had done his homework and was very familiar with the operating procedures.

Soon, he said, "B is fine, I'll try A."

The staff member handed it to him and his eyes fell on the spare product, examining it quietly.

Three minutes later, Si Sheng Group's technology promotion VCR appeared in mid-air. The screen was clear without any graininess, and the pixels were even better than some physical computers.

Wen Zhi: "OK, no problem."

The staff put the two watch straps back into the box and said, "That's good. I'll bring them up when it's your turn to demonstrate the product in public."

Wen Zhi shook his head and took the product and put it in his pocket: "No, I'll feel more at ease if I bring it myself."

The staff member was slightly startled: "But you are wearing a suit, and your pockets are not convenient for carrying spare products."

Wen Zhi thought for a moment and said, "That's right. Then you can bring the spare product up and I'll take the other one."

The staff member smiled and said, "Okay, can I help you check the battery level?"

Wen Zhi took it off and handed it to him: "Thank you for your help."

During this period, Wen Zhi had been reciting the product introduction. Although he could speak it quite fluently at home, he was still worried about accidents that might happen on site.

Ten minutes later, the press conference at the front desk had already begun.

Now it is the host's turn to introduce the product concept. Wen Zhi needs to wait for a moment before going on stage for the second session.

At this time, the staff handed the form to Wen Zhi: "Mr. Wen, it's OK."

Wen Zhi nodded and put the product back on his wrist. When he tightened the strap, he suddenly felt that something was wrong with the product. The length of the strap seemed to be looser than before, and it felt cold to the touch, and it didn't look like it had been touched by anyone.

To be cautious, he looked at the staff member and prepared to adjust the watch again, but was immediately stopped by the other party.

"Mr. Wen, you will go on stage in five minutes. Please put on your clothes. We have tested the product, so please rest assured." The staff member's tone was a little anxious, as if he really wanted to convince him.

Although Wen Zhi nodded on the surface, there was a hint of subtlety in his eyes.

This is an important part of Si Mingchen's career, and such mistakes cannot occur. Moreover, his premonitions were always accurate, and there was something wrong with the person in front of him.

So, Wen Zhi took advantage of the staff's inattention and quickly took the spare product from the other party. The staff felt nervous and was about to find an excuse to take it back, but Wen Zhi lifted him up high with his arm.

"I want to check it again."

Wen Zhi was very skilled in the operation. He could find the power button without even looking at it and just pressed it lightly.

At this moment, a blue light appeared in front of the two of them.

A video revealing the economic scandal of Si Sheng Group suddenly appeared in front of the two people. The person in charge of the commentary was wearing a mask and his tone seemed very proud.

The staff member was sweating all over and was thinking about how to explain himself. At this time, Wen Zhi had already quickly activated Product A on his wrist, intending to test whether the function was normal again.

But this time, something unexpected happened.

Product A has a black screen and no response.

Wen Zhi's expression gradually became serious, and he looked at the staff member with a hint of mockery and contempt.

Suddenly, he chuckled: "The IQ of the people who sent you here needs to be improved. You don't really think such a crude method can be implemented successfully."

At the same time, the staff member in charge of dispatching at the front desk said, "There are two minutes left. Mr. Wen, please get ready."
