"Mr. Jiang, Mr. Jiang..." Special Assistant Fang reminded Jiang Jiuduchen who was standing in front of the car and was slow to get in.
Jiang Chen put away his phone, pursed his thin lips, and sat in the back seat of the car without saying a word.
Special Assistant Fang seemed to sense that his boss was not in a very good mood. Although he didn't know why Jiang Chen, who had completed the acquisition case in the last second, was still in high spirits, his expression changed immediately in the next second, Special Assistant Fang still endured the boss's cold face and reported his work to Jiang Chen dutifully and responsibly.
Jiang Chen interrupted him and asked, "Have you given your wife a birthday present this year?"
Assistant Fante paused, with a look of obvious surprise on his face.
"I sent it in your name last month." I'm sure your wife will like this limited edition bag from H that costs over a million dollars.
Jiang Chen frowned slightly: "Where is the gift for this year's wedding anniversary?"
"I've already given it to them." This year marks the fifth anniversary of the president and his wife's marriage. The wedding anniversary gift was also personally checked by Fangte. The oldest designer of H family who had retired came back to work and personally made a custom-made bag of which there is only one in the world.
Assistant Fang believes that no woman can resist its charm, and the president's wife is no exception.
But now the president suddenly asked, was there something wrong with the gift he gave?
"Mr. Jiang, is there any problem?"
Jiang Chen did not answer the assistant's question. He frowned as if he was thinking, then took out his cell phone and sent a message to his wife who had just suddenly proposed to divorce him.
[Are you kidding?]
It wasn't April Fool's Day. His wife, who never joked, suddenly dropped such a heavy bomb on him, catching Jiang Chen off guard.
Why?
Their marriage is obviously very happy.
Shen Mingyou's message came in quickly: [I am very serious.]
Jiang Chen, who was always decisive and never looked back, typed and deleted the message he wanted to send, deleted and typed again, and it took him a while to send it out.
[Can we talk in person when I get home?]
After Shen Mingyou saw Jiang Chen's message, she finally replied to him with an "OK". Divorce is not an easy matter, especially since she and Jiang Chen are in a business marriage. The interests involved are more complicated, and even the division of property will take a lot of time.
"Who are you talking to?" Yu Zhen couldn't help but ask when she saw that Shen Mingyou's expression was not right.
"With my husband."
"Your husband?" Yu Zhen has always been curious about Shen Mingyou's husband. When Shen Mingyou debuted at the age of 18, Yu Zhen became her agent. At that time, she thought that with Shen Mingyou's conditions, she would definitely be able to become famous in the entertainment industry, but Shen Mingyou suddenly decided to retire and get married at the age of 20. At that time, Yu Zhen was very curious about Shen Mingyou's husband, but until now, she has never seen that person.
"Well, I'm talking to him about divorce."
"?" Yu Zhen had a good mental state. She parked the car steadily on the side of the road and her voice instantly became several degrees higher. "You want a divorce?!"
**
Yu Zhen was still in shock about Shen Mingyou's impending divorce until she drove back to the company building.
Shen Mingyou's agency is called Xingchen Entertainment. She signed the contract when she just debuted. At that time, Xingchen Entertainment was the same as Shen Mingyou, one was a newcomer who had just debuted, and the other was a newly established company. Geng Feng, the boss of Xingchen Entertainment, was very optimistic about Shen Mingyou, so he took great pains to sign Shen Mingyou.
When Shen Mingyou wanted to terminate the contract five years ago, Geng Feng said bluntly: "I won't object to your retirement, but you don't have to terminate the contract. Maybe one day you will want to make a comeback, and then I will still be your boss."
Geng Feng’s words came true. Five years later, he is still Shen Mingyou’s boss.
In just five years, Xingchen Entertainment has grown from a small company with forty or fifty employees to a miniature company with only four or five people.
These four or five people include the boss Geng Feng, the agent Yu Zhen, the accountant Zhou Jie, the publicity planner, makeup artist and assistant Xiao Xi, and finally an actor Zhong Xinghe who debuted for two years but has only played a few small supporting roles so far.
It can be said that Star Entertainment has been on a downward slope in recent years and has almost reached the bottom.
When Shen Mingyou entered the company, she saw the boss Geng Feng and the accountant Zhou Jie surrounding Nian Nian, who was holding a three-layer Rubik's Cube in her hand. She quickly put the Rubik's Cube together in three or five moves, and then there were exaggerated cheers in the office -
Xiaoxi: "Wow, Nian Nian is so great!"
Sister Zhou: "Nian Nian, how come you are so smart!"
The boss, Geng Feng, was even more exaggerated. He clapped his hands and smiled with wrinkles on his face: "Nian Nian baby, Uncle Geng has many Rubik's cubes at home. Do you want to go to Uncle Geng's house to play?"
Nian Nian shook her head and rejected Uncle Geng who was smiling like a wolf grandmother, but after thinking for a while she said, "Listen to mom."
"Okay, okay, listen to your mother. But I'm your mother's boss, and your mother has to listen to me, haha."
"Okay, stop teasing the child." When Zhou Hong stood up to pour water for Nian Nian, she saw Shen Mingyou and Yu Zhen coming in. "Nian Nian, look, it's mommy who's back."
When Nian Nian saw her mother, she immediately slid down from the chair, ran to Shen Mingyou, buried her face in her thighs, and rubbed against her like a little kitten.
Shen Mingyou is almost melted by her daughter's cuteness.
"Do you miss your mother?"
"kindness."
"Mom misses you too." Shen Mingyou picked up her daughter and let her sit in her arms.
Yu Zhen handed the signed contract to Geng Feng. After Geng Feng read it, his voice was filled with excitement and excitement: "Mingyou, you really made me proud. You got on a show like "Super Mom" as soon as you said it would. I am confident that you will become a big star through this show. By then, our Xingchen Entertainment will be the agency of the top star Shen Mingyou. With you as a living signboard, Xingchen Entertainment will surely regain its former glory..."
"Hey, why didn't the "Super Mom" program team notify us in advance and just made the official announcement directly?" Xiaoxi interrupted the boss Geng Feng's speech with surprise and anger. These days, Geng Feng would tell everyone about the glorious history of Xingchen Entertainment, and the employees were almost tired of it.
"What? They haven't even taken any promotional photos, how can they make an official announcement?" When it came to business, Geng Feng immediately became serious.
When Xiaoxi met with the coordinating staff of the program group yesterday, they had already agreed to sign the contract today, take promotional photos of Shen Mingyou and her daughter tomorrow, and then make an official announcement. The program will officially start filming the day after tomorrow.
But now the contract has just been signed, and Xingchen hasn't made any preparations yet. It is indeed too hasty to make the official announcement like this.
Shen Mingyou hugged Nian Nian tighter in her arms. She turned on her phone and clicked on the official Weibo of the "Super Mom" program team. Just half an hour ago, the program team updated a Weibo post -
[The last mysterious guest of the third season of "Super Mom" @actor Shen Mingyou, welcome back after five years!]
Loyal fans who have been following "Super Mom" saw this Weibo post first.
"Haven't all three guest groups been officially announced? Why is there suddenly an extra guest group?"
"Who is actress Shen Mingyou? I've never heard of such a female star in the entertainment industry."
"I clicked on the Weibo account and found that it was a newly opened account with only a few zombie fans. If it wasn't for the program team @, I would have thought it was a fake account. Could Shen Mingyou be a newcomer who just debuted? How can she bring her children to a variety show after her debut? Is she really old?"
"Five years no see, welcome back - this seems to be talking about the female star Shen Mingyou who has retired from the entertainment industry for five years. I haven't heard from her in a few years. Did she quit the entertainment industry to get married and have children?"
"If it was Shen Mingyou who retired five years ago, there would be nothing to look forward to. She is a vase that can't act, a box office poison, and a big shot. I don't know what the program crew was thinking when they suddenly invited such a washed-up female star."
The resourceful netizens have quickly figured out Shen Mingyou's past, and someone even provided some information under the official Weibo post.
After learning about Shen Mingyou's past, netizens instantly lost interest -
"I saw some old photos of her. She was pretty, but she must have changed a lot after being married and having kids for so many years."
"Didn't you retire? Why are you making a comeback?"
"I guess he didn't have enough money, so he came back to make money. After all, the money in the entertainment industry is easy to make."
"Let's go, let's go. I'm still looking forward to seeing Gu Aifei bring the twins to the show the day after tomorrow. The twins are so cute. I want to rub them when I see the promotional photos."
"And Fang Tang, I love her songs so much. I wonder if I can hear Fang Tang singing in the live broadcast. It would be best if she could sing a medley of her hits. I would faint from happiness then."
…
Shen Mingyou's official announcement on Weibo did not cause any splash. Apart from a few comments mentioning her, most of the others were from fans of the other three guests, who naturally recommended their own idols in the comments.
Shen Mingyou scrolled down and found that right below her official Weibo post was Gu Aife's official announcement post. In addition to a detailed account of Gu Aife's past impressive achievements in the entertainment industry, there were also a lot of high-definition promotional photos in a nine-square grid. Gu Aife and her twin children smiled sweetly at the camera.
This shows how attentive the program crew is.
Compared with Gu Aife, Shen Mingyou was obviously just brought in to make up the numbers.
"Xiao Xi, call the program team and ask." Yu Zhen also saw the Weibo post, and she was more worried than others.
After going to the TV station today, she was already a little worried. One reason was because Orange TV looked down on Shen Mingyou. They were not even willing to do some superficial work. It was conceivable how much the program crew cared about Shen Mingyou, a temporary guest added to the group.
Coupled with the official announcement on Weibo, it is hard for Yu Zhen not to wonder whether the program crew will do something small during or after the recording process, such as malicious editing, which can bring a lot of popularity to the program, but at the same time will also bring very bad effects to the guests who are maliciously edited.
The second point is that Shen Mingyou has a time bomb. She and her husband are currently getting a divorce. If the divorce is exposed in the show, it will not be a good thing for Shen Mingyou.
Yu Zhen began to feel a little regretful for persuading Shen Mingyou to be on this show.
After Xiaoxi finished her phone call with the program coordinator, she became even more angry: "The staff said that we don't have enough time, so we don't need to take promotional photos. We can just make the official announcement today and start recording the day after tomorrow."
Zhou Hong: "How could this program crew be like this? They changed their minds at the last minute after agreeing on something. I thought they were a big TV station and would always follow rules and regulations when doing things, but who knew they would flatter the powerful and look down on the weak, and serve people according to their tastes."
"This kind of thing is inevitable everywhere." Geng Feng's excited heart calmed down, "Mingyou, don't be angry. When you become famous in the future, those people in the TV station will just beg you to be on the show. Don't worry too much about the gains and losses of the moment."
"You're right, from now on they will only beg me to be on the show." Shen Mingyou didn't really care about these little things. She was now recalling the plot in the book. In the book, although she didn't know whether the program crew was doing anything behind the scenes, it could be said that "Shen Mingyou" was scolded to the point of quitting the show, which was entirely the result of "Shen Mingyou" herself.
So now, in what state should she appear in the show to completely change the ending of her and Nian Nian in this variety show?
**
The day for the show to start filming soon arrived.
At seven o'clock in the morning, several Orange TV special vehicles set out from the TV station and headed to the program recording location.
In the car of the production crew of Shen Mingyou's program, the follow-up director Wu Li woke up and asked, "Why haven't you arrived yet? The program must start on time at 9 o'clock, and you must not be late."
The intern director who was driving the car just happened to stop the car and said, "We're here. Shen Mingyou's home should be here."
Wu Li looked out of the window and found that the car had driven to Jiaxi Road in City A, where every inch of land is valuable and where there are several famous buildings left over from the Republic of China period. The car was now parked in front of the mansion at No. 125 Jiaxi Road.
Wu Li asked loudly: "Where are you talking about? Shen Mingyou's house is here?"
Intern director Ji Qing showed the director the address that agent Shen Mingyou sent her yesterday: "That's right, 125 Jiaxi Road."
Ji Qing had just arrived in City A and was not familiar with the city. She didn't know why the director reacted so strongly.
"Do you know where Jiaxi Road is?"
Ji Qing shook her head in confusion, but she soon understood why the director reacted so strongly.
Shen Mingyou heard the program crew ringing the doorbell. She opened the door and saw several program crew members standing at the door. She looked at the cameras they were holding. She turned around and looked at the house and asked -
"My house is relatively large. Are you sure two or three cameras will be enough?"
Ji Qing looked at the garden with the fountain, and then at the villa that was exquisite, elegant, and magnificent.
No, two or three cameras are not enough. Ten would not be too many.
Who on earth spread the news on TV that Shen Mingyou lived with her child in a 50-square-meter rental house and was so poor that she couldn't even afford to buy milk powder for her child.
Director Wu Li, who had been assigned to film Shen Mingyou because he had offended his superiors at the TV station, had a faint look of excitement on his face. He called the program's chief director Feng Jingze and said, "Hello, Director Feng, Shen Mingyou lives in Mansion No. 125, Jiaxi Road, City A. The house is too big, and the cameras we brought are not enough."
