Chapter 3
After lunch, Wen Zhenni headed to her agency. She sat in the back seat of her chauffeur's car, reading the news and getting a rough idea of what had happened.
Being in the entertainment industry, she knows too well how terrible public opinion is. If there is any movement among celebrities, she can find out a lot by looking at the trending searches.
#Wanleixiaosan
#Wan Lei's love affair exposed
Wan Lei’s hot searches are now everywhere.
After half a day, even the man's underwear was stripped off.
Marketing accounts release press releases one after another. Before the public relations department can respond, new hot search terms pop up.
Wen Zhenni was dazzled by what she saw. After she met up with Chengzi at the company, she listened to her general account.
Probably after the drinking party ended last night, paparazzi photographed Wan Lei and a man entering and leaving the hotel, and then today it was revealed that the man was a veteran singer in the circle, and the two had been in a relationship for more than a year.
Originally, it was just a revelation of a relationship, which would have been on the hot search for two days at most. However, at noon today, a certain internet celebrity suddenly posted a post to criticize the male singer, accusing Wan Lei of being the third party who interfered with her relationship with the male singer.
The current situation is that the public relations department is conducting emergency public relations and the studio is quickly issuing a statement.
However, Wan Lei is already caught up in the public opinion storm, and it will be difficult to suppress the hot searches for a while.
"Sister, will this matter affect you?"
After the hot search broke out, Orange has been worried.
She didn't know whether it affected her or not, but Wen Zhenni was frightened and broke out in a cold sweat.
It happened to be during that time period. If she and Ciheng were photographed...
She is the one who is on the hot search at the moment.
Wen Zhenni took a deep breath, forced herself to suppress the fear in her heart, handed the bag to Chengzi, and whispered, "Wait for me outside."
She raised her hand, stood in front of the wooden door of the office, and knocked twice, neither lightly nor heavily.
"Come in."
Sister Haoran's voice came from inside the door, and Wen Zhenni pushed the door open and walked in.
In addition to her agent Sister Haoran, Tang Yu was also in the room.
Wen Zhenni's eyes met hers for a moment, and she immediately lowered her head, her long eyelashes drooping, clumsily concealing the traces of crying.
Sister Haoran pointed at the sofa and said, "Sit down."
"You know about Wan Lei, right?" she asked.
Wen Zhenni nodded, "I've heard a little bit."
Wan Lei's incident caused a sensation in the city, and the entire company was worried about it.
Sister Haoran had been dealing with this matter for the entire morning, and her expression was far from good. During this time, Tang Yu kept her head down while answering, occasionally retorting in a low voice.
Wen Zhenni leaned on the sofa and listened for a while, finally understanding what they were arguing about.
After this incident, the investors must avoid risks and stop losses in time, so it is no surprise that Wan Lei's resources are tilted towards other team members.
Especially the movie she had been fighting for for a long time, which was handed to other team members an hour ago.
After the resources were redistributed, the team members who were to be trained as the key personnel were given priority to choose the best notebooks, followed by the others.
Tang Yu has the lowest presence among the five people. In fact, her business ability is not bad and her appearance is very attractive. Logically speaking, her resources will not be too limited.
But the fact is that the roles she got were mediocre and the TV series she starred in were a complete flop.
This time she was given the role of the second female lead in a movie. Her character image was a bit of a subversion, and Tang Yu said that she was not suitable for it.
She was interested in a life experience variety show, but Sister Haoran felt that she was not suitable for reality shows and did not agree.
"Actually, it's not bad for Xiaoyu to appear on variety shows. Maybe she can make some new breakthroughs."
Wen Zhenni spoke up for Tang Yu, "Why not let her try?"
Sister Haoran disagrees, "You are obviously more suitable for this variety show than her."
Wen Zhenni swiped the screen of her phone with her fingertips, without looking up, "I don't accept variety shows."
Sister Haoran paused twirling her pen, looking unhappy. "Wen Zhenni, even if you become the top, not all the good resources will be allocated to you. Are you sure you want to trade with her?"
Tang Yu also looked at her.
Wen Zhenni didn't hesitate, "I've never played this kind of role before, so it's a new experience."
Sister Haoran threw the pen on the table, frowned and said to Tang Yu: "Xiaoyu, go out first."
After Tang Yu got up and left, Sister Haoran threw a document into Wen Zhenni's arms.
"Your stage presence is good, but you should also take a look at the online reviews of your acting skills."
Wen Zhenni debuted at a young age and has acted in many film and television dramas. Even if she is not the protagonist, she is always a supporting role with important parts, but she has never paid much attention to reviews.
After a rough look, I found that most of them criticized her acting as exaggerated, and some even made personal attacks without any reason.
And this is just the tip of the iceberg.
Others' blood pressure soared when they saw this, but Wen Zhenni finished reading it with a calm expression.
She closed the folder and said, "Trust me, we can do this."
Sister Haoran rubbed her forehead helplessly. Her kind words of dissuasion were like a punch on cotton. "Okay, just make up your mind."
Having said what needed to be said, Sister Haoran compromised. "Wan Lei's incident is really a big deal. You guys should be careful in the near future, especially in your relationships. Also, bring bodyguards and assistants with you when you go out."
"Got it. Let me know when you get the script."
Wen Zhenni stood up and prepared to say goodbye when Sister Haoran suddenly called her.
"Zhen Ni, have you made up your mind? Do you want to renew the contract?"
Sister Haoran smiled and said, "Actually, I'm most optimistic about you."
On the first day she signed with the company, her boss personally told her not to tolerate the dirty things in the entertainment industry that should not be tolerated, but she also did not need to be given top-level resources.
Even though she had seen all sorts of tricks used by those with great resources and claimed to understand people's hearts, she still couldn't understand the twists and turns involved.
It’s neither a title nor praise, so what is it?
She pondered for a long time before confirming that the big tree behind Wen Zhenni had complex roots. As long as the people behind her nodded, the top resources would be presented to her first for her to choose from.
Wen Zhenni was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Thank you."
But it's not suitable.
She pushed the door open and came out, and Tang Yu, who was waiting in the corridor, walked forward.
"I'm sorry, I was too anxious just now."
Tang Yu pursed her lips, looking guilty. "I don't have any family background to rely on, so I can only use this method to get what I want."
During the years they have been together, Wen Zhenni has seen her efforts and the injustices she has suffered, so she understands her situation.
"There's no need to apologize to anyone. This is what you fought for."
She comforted herself like this, but Tang Yu wanted to cry even more, "Zhen Ni, I don't know how to thank you."
Tang Yu choked up, almost speechless with excitement, so he could only hug her gently, "Thank you."
"Okay, let's talk about thank you or not between us."
Wen Zhenni patted her back gently, "Come on."
After separating from Tang Yu, Wen Zhenni took the elevator down to the parking lot.
She was wearing high heels and chatting with Xi Miao. She found the Bentley Mulsanne in the parking space, opened the door and got into the back seat, her expression stunned.
An unexpected figure was sitting on the spacious back seat that should have belonged to her.
"husband!"
The man wore a well-tailored peaked-lapel tuxedo suit, a snow-white shirt with a Windsor knot tie, and his hair was combed back, revealing his smooth, full forehead and straight brows. Compared to usual, he exuded an even more fierce handsomeness and solemnity.
Even her hair was carefully styled, and she was dressed as if she was going to get married. It was obvious that he was not there to pick her up.
Wen Zhenni was so impressed by his handsomeness that she was stunned for a few seconds before she regained her voice. "Why are you wearing formal clothes? Where are you going?"
Although he is usually very handsome, the ascetic style with buttons buttoned to the neck is a limited edition and hard to come by.
Wen Zhenni can control her heart, but she can't control her hands.
She stretched out her wolf claws, intending to disturb the man's mind and eat his flesh, but was quickly caught by Ciheng, pressed on his legs, and her lustful audacity was strangled in the cradle.
"Grandma called and asked us to go home for dinner."
"But before that, you have to accompany me to Wen Zheng's private cocktail party."
When he returns to China, he will take over Taihua. He needs occasions to show up, which should be very important to him.
As a good wife who urged him to work hard to make money, Wen Zhenni agreed quite readily, "Okay, husband."
"It's only natural for a wife to accompany her husband to business banquets."
So good.
Ciheng curled his lips, pinched her hand with a force that was neither too strong nor too weak, and rubbed the soft flesh of her palm in an ambiguous manner.
It's just that his acting is so bad that he seems too good to be true.
"Drive." His voice returned to its usual calmness as he instructed the driver in front.
The Bentley Mulsanne drove out of the basement, passed through the bustling lights of the city, merged into the traffic, and arrived at the Foothill Winery an hour later.
Wen Zheng’s cocktail party was held at his private winery. In addition to celebrities from the business community, there were also giants from all walks of life.
The receptionist welcomed Ciheng into the main hall, and Feng Zhen had just arrived.
The two men greeted each other and, while talking, they easily dealt with the celebrities who came over to chat and make friends.
When most of the guests had arrived, the hosts of the cocktail party, Mr. and Mrs. Wen Zheng, appeared in the banquet hall.
A man with a noble temperament was surrounded by the crowd. He stood in the center holding a high-heeled glass. His handmade suit was neatly ironed, which highlighted his outstanding temperament.
His beloved wife Zhong Xue, who was in his arms, was wearing a sparkling white fishtail dress tonight, and a priceless emerald necklace was adorned on her smooth and elegant swan neck.
Under the reflection of the crystal lamp, the gems inlaid on the necklace sparkled, making Feng Zhen's eyes widen.
"That set of emeralds, one of the ten legendary jewels, was auctioned for a whopping 200 million yuan."
Feng Zhen said in an exaggerated tone, "You are indeed a wife-loving maniac."
"Just a set of jewelry means you're a wife-loving madman?" Ciheng raised his eyebrows slightly.
Feng Zhen chuckled and said, "You're not bad either. Not to mention 200 million worth of gems, you wouldn't even blink an eye at 1 billion worth of pearls."
The more you talk, the more outrageous it gets.
Ciheng squinted at him and said, "One billion pearls, how dare you dream of that? Your money must have come from the wind."
Feng Zhen: “…”
Feng Zhen choked for a moment, and from the corner of his eye he caught sight of Wen Zheng and his wife. He quickly restrained his expression, "Brother Wen, Sister Xue."
Ciheng calmly turned around and raised his champagne glass to Wen Zheng and his wife as they walked towards him. "Long time no see. How are you doing lately?"
"Still the same as always, busy with nothing." Wen Zheng clinked glasses with him and put his arm around his shoulder. "But you finally decided to come back."
Zhong Xue pursed her lips and smiled, "Wen Zheng talks about you every day. I'm really worried that you won't come back."
The four of them were good friends since childhood. They hadn't seen each other for a few years and had a lot to talk about, so Zhong Xue led them to the rest area.
The waiter came over and poured the wine. Feng Zhen picked up the Czech crystal glass and said, "Brother Wen, you took out all of my uncle's collection."
Wen Zheng: "Wine is made to be drunk by people."
Zhong Xue looked at Ci Heng. "Ni Ni's concert is over. I heard the group is going solo. So their schedule should be smaller than before, right?"
Ciheng said yes, "She is here too, but it is not convenient for her to show up, so I asked someone to take her to the lounge upstairs."
Feng Zhen was cheerful and joked with him, "So you, as a husband, just leave your wife aside?"
Ciheng retorted bluntly, "You are a good husband, but what about your wife?"
"..." Feng Zhen covered his chest, his heart was pierced, "Brother Heng, you can pierce my heart."
Zhong Xue couldn't help laughing.
However, she was also quite interested when talking about Ciheng's marriage. "Come to think of it, you've been married for three years now. I've always wanted to ask you what kind of magic our Zhenni has that made you accept the marriage."
The question was straightforward enough, and Wen Zheng stared at Ciheng curiously, wanting to hear what he thought of this childhood sweetheart who grew up with him.
Ciheng didn't find it difficult to speak up and said frankly: "She is very kind."
You have to know how rare it is to keep a pure heart in this utilitarian and impetuous society.
This answer was really unoriginal and even a bit empty, but Wen Zheng clinked glasses with him in agreement.
Zhong Xue continued to ask, "Doesn't she have any flaws?"
Tzu Heng: "Too kind, too righteous, and prone to acting impulsively."
This is not a disadvantage at all, it is clearly an advantage.
Zhong Xue was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect that this would be the answer.
"Okay, you guys chat first, I'll go up and talk to her."
Zhong Xue smiled, stood up, and headed towards the stairs.
Wen Zheng held the wine glass and looked at Ci Heng thoughtfully, "I say, you didn't come back just to get a divorce, did you?"
Ciheng frowned slightly, not understanding what he meant, "What do you mean?"
Feng Zhen was also shocked. "It's better to demolish a temple than to ruin a marriage. Wen Zheng, you are so unkind."
Wen Zheng ignored him, "Aren't you going overseas for the marriage?"
Feng Zhen nearly spit out his wine. "We've known each other for over twenty years. Do you think he's the type to give in?"
Wen Zheng spread his hands, "There's nothing we can do. We always thought you only treated Wen Zhenni as your sister."
Ci Heng was speechless, "Whose good man would marry my sister?"
"It's really not about divorce?"
"Stop spreading rumors."
Ci Heng was helpless and confessed directly: "We grew up together. Even if there is no love, we are friends who understand each other. Being husband and wife won't be too bad."
"As for the three years we were apart, it was because of my career plans, not because of any relationship issues."
He paused, his expression suddenly becoming indescribable. "Before we got married, she said that if I married her, there would be no divorce, only widowhood. How could I treat a matter involving my life as a joke?"
"puff……"
Feng Zhen choked on his wine. "That sounds like something she would say."
Although Wen Zhenni seems well-behaved, her train of thought is quite surprising.
Hearing him explain the reason himself, Wen Zheng was quite surprised. "So you are reuniting as a couple now, and planning to live a serious life together?"
"Um."
Wen Zheng smiled and suddenly started gossiping, "Do you like her?"
Ci Heng narrowed her eyes and did not answer directly, "She loves herself, and all the good things will be hers, and I am hers too."
He took a sip of wine and his eyes fell on the elegantly dressed figures under the lamp.
Amidst the interweaving lights and shadows, brightly dressed men and women wander in the world of fame and fortune.
In an unnoticed corner, two women emerged from the crowd, holding up their skirts as they went upstairs.
"Hey, did you see that? The guy sitting next to Mr. Wen is Mr. Tai Hua Ci, who just returned from overseas."
His companion seemed to have heard incredible news. "Are you talking about Ciheng, the young woman who controls a business empire, amassed billions of wealth, and even makes the usually arrogant business leaders smile?"
The woman nodded firmly and pulled her towards the lounge, whispering, "He rarely appears in public, and there are almost no scandals in his private life before and after marriage."
"By the way, have you seen his wife? She's the daughter of the Jewel Jin family."
"I haven't seen them. The Jin family protects their children very well. We only know that they are a pair of children. No one even knows who their biological mother is."
