"Hello~"
When Liu Xu heard the voice, he asked in confusion, "What did you do last night? Why is your voice so dull?"
Du Yuanzhe closed his eyes in pain, the past was too painful to recall.
"What's the matter, Brother Liu?"
Liu Xu said: "Director Xu Cheng has sent me a message that the casting has been completed and filming will start in about one or two months."
Du Yuanzhe couldn't help but complain: "If he doesn't send me any more news, I'll suspect he's absconded with the money."
Liu Xu said, "I just made some inquiries. The person who played opposite you was Ming Zhanshu. You two are acquaintances."
"That's a coincidence."
He and Ming Zhanshu had participated in "Role Play" together, and Du Yuanzhe had a good impression of him. Ming Zhanshu had good acting skills and was of the right age. With him playing the murderer, Du Yuanzhe at least didn't have to worry about acting problems.
Although Xu Cheng is very money-conscious, his casting is still reliable.
Liu Xu reminded Du Yuanzhe again to remember to come to the company to sign the endorsement contract, and then hung up the phone.
Du Yuanzhe threw his cell phone on the bed, the scene of last night emerged in his mind, and he couldn't help gritting his teeth.
He really thought he would lose his virginity last night and had prepared everything for it. However, Xia Ningmi made him so aroused that he just left in a huff, saying that it was all his fault that he had not seized the opportunity.
Du Yuanzhe was forced to go into the bathroom to solve the problem by himself, because taking a cold shower was useless.
Du Yuanzhe once again realized how petty Xia Ningmi was. Every time he teased her, she would always find a way to get him to tease her back.
Du Yuanzhe lay in bed until ten o'clock, then got up and went downstairs. The first thing he did was to go to the kitchen to find something to eat.
After filling his stomach, Du Yuanzhe was worried that the scene from last night would repeat itself, so he thought it would be better to take the initiative to apologize.
Qianying Entertainment, Conference Room
Xia Ningmi was listening to the planning department's report on last quarter's work when suddenly someone's cell phone rang.
The director of the planning department was so shocked that he was stuck. He glanced at everyone present and continued to report. When the others heard this voice, they looked at each other, with expressions in their eyes that said, "Whoever is asking for trouble, don't let me get involved."
Just when they were worried that Xia Ningmi was angry, Xia Ningmi calmly picked up her phone and checked the messages. This was the notification tone she had set for Du Yuanzhe.
Yuanzhe: "Qiqi, I have prepared a surprise for you. It will be delivered to the company soon. Remember to ask someone to receive it so that the front desk staff won't throw it away as trash."
The other people at the meeting were stunned when they saw this scene.
Xia Ningmi has always set an example. Whatever rules Xia's employees need to follow, Xia Ningmi will also follow them, and even be more strict.
Checking messages during a meeting had never happened to Xia Ningmi before. They even thought that they would never see this happen, but today it broke their cognition.
Xia Ning didn't care about other people's surprise. She glanced at Cheng Yu, and Cheng Yu immediately bent over and came over.
Xia Ningmi whispered a few words in her ear, Cheng Yu nodded and left the conference room, while instructing another person in the secretary's office to take notes of the meeting on her behalf.
The director of planning has already forgotten what he was going to say.
Xia Ning glanced at him: "Are you done?"
He shook his head quickly, organized his thoughts as quickly as possible and continued to report.
1F Lobby
A young man holding a bouquet of roses walked to the front desk and said politely, "Hello, these are roses sent by Mr. D to Miss Xia Ningmi. Please check them."
The front desk staff thought they were hallucinating: "What did you say?"
The person who sent the flowers had to repeat it.
The two receptionists looked at each other to make sure they heard correctly. They admired the brave man who dared to send flowers to the company, but still refused: "Sorry, President Xia does not accept any flowers, please take them back."
The flower delivery person was in a dilemma: "But the gentleman has already paid and asked me to deliver the flowers."
The front desk still refused.
While they were arguing, Cheng Yu took the elevator to the first floor. When he saw the young man holding the flowers, his eyes lit up and he walked over and asked, "What's going on?"
The receptionist immediately said, "A Mr. D asked him to send flowers to Mr. Xia. I told him several times that Mr. Xia would not accept them, but he insisted on putting the flowers down."
Cheng Yu was very sure that Mr. D was Du Yuanzhe, and said, "Give me the flowers, you can go."
The flower delivery man was very happy that he had completed his task. He immediately handed the flowers to Cheng Yu and then left the hall as quickly as possible, fearing that Cheng Yu would regret it.
Seeing Cheng Yu carefully leaving with the flowers in her arms, the two receptionists were completely stunned.
One of them murmured, "What did President Xia tell you to do before?"
"Don't accept any flowers sent to her. If she insists on pestering you, have the security guards throw her out along with the flowers."
"What happened just now?"
"I don't know either."
They don't have enough brains.
In Yancheng, Xia Ningmi is unmatched in both family background and appearance.
Ever since she first appeared in public, there has been no shortage of people pursuing her, and sending flowers was the most common way of pursuing people. In the first year, there was an endless stream of people sending flowers to the company.
Xia Ningmi always asked people to throw the flowers into the trash can, but this could not stop the enthusiasm of those suitors. They were not short of money and did not feel sorry for the money spent on buying flowers. They still happily sent flowers, fantasizing that one day they could impress Xia Ningmi.
In order to stop this phenomenon, Xia Ningmi no longer allowed the front desk to accept flowers. If the other party insisted, she would let the security guard throw out the person and the flowers together.
After dozens of people were thrown out like this, no flower shop nearby dared to accept orders for flowers from Xia Ningmi anymore.
In the past year, the front desk had not encountered any flower deliveries, but today, for the first time, one came. They were just wondering if it was a new flower shop and they didn't know the rules here, but just when they were about to call security, Cheng Yu showed up.
The following developments made the front desk staff feel like they were dreaming.
This was the first time in three years that the flowers sent to Xia Ningmi were accepted, and it was the chief assistant Cheng Yu who came down to pick them up in person.
Inexplicably, they thought of the only Weibo post Xia Ningmi posted after she opened her Weibo account.
Their eyes sparkled, and they said in unison, "Boss Xia is so kind."
Cheng Yu returned to the top floor with the flowers. The meeting was not over yet, and as soon as she got out of the elevator, she was surrounded by several people from the secretariat.
"Xiaoyu, what are you doing?"
Cheng Yu immediately said: "Don't get me wrong, this is for the president."
Yueyue's eyes lit up: "Was it sent by the president's mysterious boyfriend?"
"Nonsense, who else could it be but him?"
One of them was sharp-eyed and saw a big "D" on the card. He smiled and said, "The president has been in love for so long, and we finally know some news about the mysterious boyfriend."
Others also saw the letter: "This is probably his last name. Is there anyone around the CEO whose last name starts with D?"
Yueyue shook her head: "It doesn't have to be a surname, it could also be the first letter of an English name."
"Yes. Well, that's hard to guess."
Cheng Yu didn't listen to their speculations. He opened the president's office, put the flowers on the table and returned to the conference room.
At this time, the meeting was coming to an end. Ten minutes later, the meeting ended and Xia Ningmi was the first to leave the conference room.
Cheng Yu said: "President, the things have been placed in your office."
Xia Ning walked straight into the office and immediately saw the bouquet of bright roses with a card clipped on it.
[Dear Miss Xia Ningmi: I give you thirty-three roses, and I promise to love you for three lifetimes. PS: I originally wanted to give you nine roses, because they have a good meaning of long-lasting love, but I felt that nine roses were too few, and I was afraid that you would think I was stingy, so I chose thirty-three. Am I very thoughtful? ]
Xia Ningmi chuckled, unlocked her phone and sent a message to Du Yuanzhe, deliberately picking on him: "We only have one life, and we can't even guarantee the next life, so how can we talk about three lives and three worlds."
After sending the message, she called the internal phone and ordered, "Bring a vase."
Cheng Yu guessed that Xia Ning would use it, and had already prepared it and sent it in: "President, I'll help you put the flowers in."
Xia Ning raised her hand to stop him: "I'll do it myself."
Upon hearing this, Cheng Yu put down the vase and left the office.
At this time, Du Yuanzhe replied.
Yuanzhe: "Have you forgotten that I am not an ordinary person? I can keep the memory of my last life, so I may be able to keep the memory of this life."
Xia Ning stared at it for a while, then deleted the message.
Du Yuanzhe's secret was so shocking that she would not allow any possibility of it being leaked.
Flower Lake Apartment
Du Yuanzhe did the same thing as Xia Ningmi. He was cautious out of habit, after all, it was about his biggest secret.
Xia Ningmi would be happy to receive the flowers and would probably stop torturing him. He couldn't stand this kind of thing happening again and again.
......
Wei Lingling was hospitalized for observation for a week, and the doctor allowed her to be discharged after confirming that she was fine.
Jiang Chelin said: "Lingling, you should stay a few more days. I can take care of you."
Wei Lingling said coldly: "President Jiang, we have broken up. Please be careful about your behavior."
After saying that, she asked the driver to drive, and Jiang Chelin was left behind without getting in the car.
Wei Lingling said to the agent, "Sister Wang, please contact Director Zuo and make an appointment with him for an audition."
Sister Wang said, "Okay. Lingling, how did you get Director Zuo's phone number? And you managed to get him to give you another audition opportunity."
Sister Wang was already in despair. Wei Lingling worked hard to learn the dialect for this play, but she missed the audition because of a car accident. It's heartbreaking to think about it.
But when she was discharged from the hospital today, Wei Lingling told Sister Wang that she had been given the opportunity to audition again and gave her Director Zuo's cell phone number.
Wei Lingling thought of the text message she received from an unknown number on her phone and smiled: "Someone is helping me."
Sister Wang's eyes lit up: "Could it be President Jiang?"
Wei Lingling frowned: "It's not him! Sister Wang, he and I have already broken up, so don't always think about asking him for help."
Seeing that she was angry, Sister Wang said hurriedly, "I said the wrong thing."
Assistant Zhao Tiantian said, "Sister Lingling, You Yingxue is asking someone for Director Zuo's contact information."
Sister Wang said, "I heard that she also went to the previous audition and was praised by Director Zuo. I guess she felt that she had won the role, but she got anxious when there was no news for so many days."
Wei Lingling thought it was very likely: "Remember to keep my audition confidential. Don't tell anyone, especially those in the company."
She and You Yingxue are artists from the same company, so their circles of relationships must overlap. Just like now she knows that You Yingxue is asking for Director Zuo's contact information. If she doesn't keep her mouth shut, You Yingxue might know that Wei Lingling is going to have an audition, and there's no guarantee that she won't cause trouble.
Sister Wang said, "I know."
......
Jiang's Old House
Wang Lianxuan said, "Master Jiang, I heard that Huanxing Entertainment will hold an anniversary reception tomorrow night. Can you take me to see it?"
Mr. Jiang smiled and said, "If you want to go to the cocktail party, just go directly. I'll tell Che Lin and no one will stop you."
Wang Lianxuan still remembered Jiang Chelin's warning, and she hugged Grandpa Jiang's arm and said coquettishly: "You will get bored if you stay at home all the time. Grandpa Jiang should also go out more often."
Mr. Jiang thought that he had not been out for a long time, and said, "Okay, let's go to the cocktail party together. It just so happens that I have never been to Huanxing Entertainment."
Huanxing Entertainment was previously just an ordinary subsidiary of Jiang's. After Jiang Chelin took over Jiang's, he was reappointed to be in charge of talent development. Mr. Chiang had never been to Huanxing Entertainment.
Wang Xianxuan was overjoyed: "There will definitely be a lot of celebrities coming to the party. I have to dress up well and not be outdone by them."
When Master Jiang heard this, his eyes narrowed and he said, "I'll have someone send you all the clothes from the latest season, so you don't have to go out without clothes to wear."
"Thank you, Grandpa Jiang."
Flower Lake Apartment
"An anniversary party with fun and entertainment?"
Du Yuanzhe was stunned for a moment when he heard Liu Xu talking about this, and then he said, "Will people from Qianying Entertainment also participate?"
Liu Xu said on the phone: "Although Huanxing Entertainment and Qianying Entertainment are rivals, the two companies have not torn their faces. We are all people in the entertainment industry. Many artists from our company will attend. Many directors and producers will be invited to the cocktail party. This is also a rare opportunity to expand your network."
Du Yuanzhe understood: "Okay, I'll go check it out tomorrow night."
Liu Xu said: "Then I will send you the invitation tomorrow."
You can't get into the reception without an invitation.
"Legend of Yunlan" has been on the air for several days, and Du Yuanzhe's popularity continues to rise. His Weibo fans have exceeded 10 million, and his fans have increased by millions in just a few days. He is like a new traffic star, so Huanxing Entertainment also sent him an invitation.
When Xia Ningmi got home from get off work, Du Yuanzhe asked, "Qiqi, are you going to attend the anniversary party of Huanxing Entertainment?"
Xia Ning said: "I'm going on a business trip early tomorrow morning."
Du Yuanzhe was surprised and asked quickly, "Going abroad?"
“In the country.”
Du Yuanzhe said: "That's good."
If Xia Ningmi went on a business trip abroad, it would take at least a week, and it would be much shorter in the country.
Xia Ning asked him, "Are you going to participate?"
Du Yuanzhe nodded: "They sent me an invitation, and I have nothing to do recently, so I'd like to go and take a look."
Xia Ning glanced at him: "Are you worried about Wei Lingling getting into trouble?"
Du Yuanzhe said, "I don't think so. Wang Lianxuan has been threatened by Jiang Chelin and confined to her house. Wei Lingling can't be in any danger."
He mainly heard that many directors would go to the cocktail party, and the director of "Yun Miao" might also go. He was worried that some unknown changes might happen to the drama, so he wanted to keep an eye on it.
Xia Ningmi said calmly, "I have sent Director Zuo's contact information to Wei Lingling. She should go to Director Zuo for an audition as soon as she is discharged from the hospital."
Du Yuanzhe nodded and said something else: "You are going on a business trip tomorrow. I will make you something delicious tonight. What do you want to eat?"
Xia Ning said: "Whatever."
She never orders food, she just eats whatever Du Yuanzhe cooks.
Du Yuanzhe deliberately teased: "How about making cola chicken wings?"
Xia Ning looked at him expressionlessly.
Du Yuanzhe surrendered immediately: "Forget it, I don't like it."
Maybe it’s because there’s too much skin in the chicken wings, but Xia Ningmi has a clear aversion to chicken wings.
......
The next morning, Cheng Yu came to pick up Xia Ningmi. Xia Ningmi took Cheng Yu alone on this business trip.
Du Yuanzhe said, "Remember to send me a message when you get there. If you have anything, just call me directly. My phone is on 24 hours a day, so don't worry about disturbing me."
"Also, if you have social events, try to drink less. After all, if you put on a cold face, you can scare them into silence."
Cheng Yu originally felt very warm, but after hearing the last sentence, the corners of his mouth twitched.
Xia Ningmi had no expression. After listening to Du Yuanzhe's words, she simply said, "After the cocktail party, go home early."
Then he took Cheng Yu away.
Du Yuanzhe waited until they disappeared in the elevator before turning back home. He sighed as he looked at the empty living room. Xia Ningmi had just left, and he already missed her a little.
Two hours before the reception
Liu Xu knew that Xia Ningmi was on a business trip, so he felt relieved to bring his team to Huahu Apartment to do styling for Du Yuanzhe.
Du Yuanzhe opened the door and let a few people in.
Liu Xu was afraid that he would see something he shouldn't see in the bedroom, so he said, "Let's just do it in the living room. Yuanzhe has a good foundation anyway, so it won't be too troublesome for him to put on makeup."
After Du Yuanzhe changed his clothes and put on makeup, Xiaopang handed him a watch. Liu Xu said, "You have signed the contract. From now on, you can only wear this brand of watch in any public occasions."
Du Yuanzhe put on the watch and said with a smile: "I will listen to the sponsor, as long as I give the money."
Liu Xu smiled and said, "Once you finish taking the promotional photos, the endorsement fee will be transferred to you."
According to the contract, Du Yuanzhe also has to take a set of promotional photos. When the official announcement is made, the official Weibo account will release the photos taken by Du Yuanzhe at the same time.
Du Yuanzhe asked: "Have you set a time for the photo shoot?"
"It's settled. It'll be in a week."
"I'm ready to cooperate."
Du Yuanzhe had a very upright attitude and did whatever his sponsor said.
Liu Xu looked at his high-end handmade suit and said, "I don't even dare to accept a clothing endorsement for you. There are really few clothes that can compare to your private clothes."
Du Yuanzhe said: "How can they be the same? One is that I bought it with my own money, and the other is that someone else paid for me to wear it. The latter is more comfortable."
Liu Xu glanced at him: "Are you sure you bought this dress yourself?"
Du Yuanzhe said confidently: "My mother spent our family's money."
Liu Xu shook his head: "Fans are very discerning. I have to choose clothing endorsements for you carefully. They can't be too cheap."
Du Yuanzhe is very confident in Liu Xu. Liu Xu understands the ins and outs of this better than he does, so he doesn't need to interfere too much in the endorsement matter.
When the cocktail party was about to start, Du Yuanzhe drove to the gate of Huanxing Entertainment Company.
This was his first time to come to Huanxing Entertainment, which also owned a whole building, but because it was only a subsidiary of Jiang's company and was not as significant to Xia Ningmi as Qianying Entertainment, this place was not as grand and luxurious as Qianying Entertainment, but it could still crush other entertainment companies.
Du Yuanzhe handed the invitation to the security guard and walked into the Huanxing Entertainment Hall. The cocktail party was held in the hall on the first floor.
It was also a coincidence that as soon as he walked in, he saw Wang Lianxuan walking in behind him with Mr. Jiang.
Du Yuanzhe's eyes darkened.
This woman couldn't just live in peace for a few more days. It's amazing that she could think of taking advantage of Mr. Jiang's absence.
He paused, turned around and walked towards them, saying, "Hello, General Jiang."
When Master Jiang saw him, he was stunned for a moment, then he remembered and said, "The second kid of the Du family has grown up so fast."
Du Yuanzhe said: "It's rare that the old Chiang still remembers me, a kid who doesn't do his job properly."
Mr. Jiang laughed and said, "I heard that you are a star in the entertainment industry. How come I didn't know that being a star is not a proper job?"
Du Yuanzhe: "Old Chiang is a man of great principles. My father should learn from you so that he doesn't always have old-fashioned ideas."
"Your father is just not satisfied. Having your brother as his eldest son is not enough. He also wants you to join the company to help out."
Wang Lianxuan was a little anxious when she saw the two of them chatting. She had already seen Director Zuo and couldn't help but say, "Grandpa Jiang, you guys chat first. I'll go look around somewhere else."
Du Yuanzhe seemed to have just noticed her and asked, "Miss Wang is here too?"
Wang Lianxuan suppressed her impatience and said, "Why did Second Young Master Du come to the anniversary party of Huanxing Entertainment? Che Lin may not welcome you."
Du Yuanzhe said with a smile: "Everyone who comes here is a guest. I don't believe he can drive me out. Old Jiang will never agree to it, right?"
Mr. Jiang smiled and nodded: "That stinky boy dared to do this, I can't forgive him."
Du Yuanzhe looked at Wang Lianxuan again: "Miss Wang seems to be in urgent need of help? Do you need my help?"
Wang Xianxuan shook her head and forced a smile, "Thank you, Second Master Du. I can handle it myself."
Mr. Jiang said, "You guys go and have fun. There's no need to accompany an old man like me."
Wang Lianxuan felt as if she had been pardoned. She said she would be back soon and left.
Du Yuanzhe looked at the direction she left and did not follow her. Instead, he walked in another direction.
He saw Wei Lingling.
Walking up to Wei Lingling, he asked, "Have you had your audition?"
Wei Lingling had already seen him and said with a smile, "I have tried it. President Xia said thanking her means thanking you, so I won't thank you alone, lest your wife get jealous."
Du Yuanzhe ignored her teasing and asked, "Did Director Zuo say anything?"
Wei Lingling said: "Director Zuo heard that I was from Yancheng and was very curious about how I learned my dialect. After I answered, he didn't ask any more questions and just told me to wait for news."
Zuo Dao is a person who values talents and is partial to them. He would not remain indifferent after knowing Wei Lingling's talent in languages.
At this moment, he saw You Yingxue walking to Director Zuo's side, and Wang Lianxuan stopped not far away and did not come any closer.
The other side
You Yingxue walked up to Director Zuo, and after they exchanged a few words, she said awkwardly, "Director Zuo, when will the audition results come out?"
Director Zuo had been very optimistic about You Yingxue and was interested in working with her, but now he has found someone more suitable. He said, "Ms. You's acting is very good. We may have a chance to work together again."
You Yingxue's face froze.
Director Zuo's words were very clear, undoubtedly meaning that she lost the election.
You Yingxue tried to calm down and said, "Can I ask who Director Zuo chose?"
Director Zuo shook his head: "Before the contract is signed, I can't reveal too much."
This was Xia Ningmi's request. She asked Director Zuo not to reveal the casting results to anyone.
You Yingxue was very disappointed and had no mood to continue chatting with Director Zuo.
Not far away, Wang Lianxuan soon received the message from You Yingxue and frowned, saying, "You Yingxue lost the election. Director Zuo was unwilling to say who was chosen."
[What's the news from Wei Lingling?]
"Not sure, you know I just went out today."
[Try to keep a close eye on Wei Lingling to prevent her from turning against the enemy]
Logically speaking, Wei Lingling didn't have an audition, so it wouldn't be her turn anyway, but just in case, the system still let Wang Lianxuan keep an eye on her.
Wang Xianxuan nodded: "I will arrange it."
The author has something to say:
