Chapter 50
Looking for a female anchor!
Still not coming home at night!
Mr. Shen quickly felt the crisis in his marriage shortly after his marriage.
Maybe he bought flowers to please people.
This is often seen in movies and TV dramas, where people who betray their families usually have a brief feeling of guilt.
The more Shen Mingzheng thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong.
But when he looked at the beautiful bouquet of flowers, he felt angry but couldn't bear to touch a finger, so he followed Su Ning and listened to him talking on the phone.
But Su Ning finished his words, then turned around and bumped into him.
"What are you doing?" Su Ning looked at him with his phone in hand, wondering, "Why are you blocking here?"
He pushed Shen Mingzheng, but the other party didn't move, and there was no smile on his face. He was tall and hard like a wall.
Su Ning came back from such a long distance and wanted to take a shower. Just as he took a step forward, the other party hugged him around the waist and hugged him back, and leaned him against the wall, preventing him from leaving.
"What's wrong?" Su Ning felt something itchy on his waist and couldn't help laughing, "Don't touch me there, stop it."
He was exhausted after a day of work and had no strength left. He could only lean on Shen Mingzheng, and then he heard him ask three questions in a row: "Who are you looking for? Who did you meet last night? And, what was that female anchor just now?"
Before Su Ning left, he only said that he was going to discuss endorsement matters, a business occasion. Shen Mingzheng still had to take care of Haicheng, so there was no need for the two of them to go together and make it such a grand occasion.
Now that he regrets it, he should have gone with us.
"Ah, so that's why."
Su Ning understood.
He didn't push anyone away, but instead put his hand on Shen Mingzheng's shoulder, patted it slowly, and explained: "It's Ji Xue. I met Ji Xue yesterday."
Su Ning recalled what happened last night. While he was talking, he reached out and curled the ends of Shen Mingzheng's hair with his fingers, whether consciously or unconsciously.
It was just his hand that happened to be placed there, it was just a natural thing.
"...I was really surprised," he finished quickly, then sighed, "I didn't expect to run into her there at all."
I didn't know she would become like this.
Shen Mingzheng: ...
That's right.
It is normal for Su Ning to care about the company's artists.
In his previous life, he had too many handsome men, not just Lu Fei. Lu Fei was not even the most outstanding one. Shen Mingzheng didn't care much about other people's private lives, so naturally he wouldn't remember the names of everyone related to Ji Xue, and he had never thought of her before.
Su Ning's attitude made people feel at ease. He was honest and didn't hide anything. The corners of Shen Mingzheng's mouth, which had been suppressed, curled up again.
After hearing this explanation, he did not retreat. At this moment, Su Ning was almost embraced by him. Then, leaning against the wall, Su Ning asked him with a smile: "Are you still unhappy? Why, do you suddenly feel that I'm looking for someone outside?"
"No," Shen Mingzheng said stubbornly, "I'm just worried and asked."
Although he said so, his actions were very honest. Not only did he not retreat, but he took a step forward.
Then the two of them were inexplicably silent for a while.
Shen Mingzheng maintained this posture. When he lowered his head, he could see Su Ning's face right in front of him. Her crow-feather-like eyelashes trembled, and there was a faint fragrance on her body, perhaps it was shower gel, or perhaps it was the scent of perfume on her clothes, but the two of them had lived together for too long, and he had already recognized this smell.
The smell of lady's cigarettes lingered only on the coat; these things belonged to this person.
"Is that so?" Su Ning stroked his hair, as if he was stroking a big cat. "I didn't realize before that Xiao Shen would always get angry about this. Well, it's my problem."
It is just a business marriage, because couples who are from the same family only need to be harmonious on the surface, and they often turn a blind eye to the private lives of both parties.
But who would regard this as an ordinary marriage?
Then Su Ning became more serious and said, "Mingzheng, you don't have to worry about this. After all, we are married. I will maintain this relationship in all aspects. I don't have any habit of fooling around outside. I don't think you are interested in those things."
Shen Mingzheng: ...
Actually, that’s not entirely true.
In this situation, Su Ning couldn't see Shen Mingzheng's expression, so he continued, "I met Ji Xue yesterday, and her story reminded me that there is still a long way to go. At least the two of us need to stabilize first. During the period of this engagement, any scandal between us will be very detrimental to both parties and the company. Don't worry, I know my limits, trust me."
Even without mentioning the sharp peak in front of them, there is also the silent and huge Shen family. He and Su Ning cannot make any mistakes, otherwise it will be easy for them to fall.
So Shen Mingzheng stopped, did nothing, and slowly took a step back.
Su Ning felt as if his hand was gently brushing the side of his face when he stepped back, but he didn't care, and he didn't feel uncomfortable with Shen Mingzheng being so close to him.
"I know. I don't disbelieve you," Shen Mingzheng finally looked at him and said, "I will always stand with you."
Su Ning: “Yeah.”
He didn't think too deeply about this relationship right now. He really didn't have the time. He just felt that in the current situation between the two of them, no matter what they said, there was no need to hide it.
If there is any misunderstanding, just explain it. It’s not like you don’t have a mouth.
Now that it's clear, doesn't Shen Mingzheng look normal again?
To him, the other party is the best partner, and he is used to being with him and discussing everything with him, which is enough.
So many things happened yesterday. After the car ride here in the morning and seeing him at his home, everything became calm.
"When you called me yesterday, I was quite surprised, but I was also very happy," Su Ning added, "Thank you."
Shen Mingzheng: "Next time you don't come home at night, I will still call you."
Su Ning couldn't help laughing, and then he left here and took a quick shower as planned.
When he came out, Shen Mingzheng had already changed his clothes and was ready to go out for a meeting. He had an important meeting scheduled today, and his driver was waiting downstairs. He only waited until now at home because he wanted to meet Su Ning when he came back.
As soon as Su Ning came out, he heard Shen Mingzheng, who was about to go out, remind him: "By the way, do you want to search the name 'Jixue' on that platform?"
He patched it up again: "She used this name as her social network nickname at the time, but she deleted it at that time. Maybe she will use it again out of habit."
This was the stage name Ji Xue used in her previous life, so there should be some connection. Shen Mingzheng didn't even know that she had been a host, and combined with what Su Ning just said, he had some ideas.
The name "Jixue" is not a niche name, and she only has a few thousand fans on that small platform. It is normal not to find the name if you search it broadly, but if you add some qualifiers, it should be possible.
Su Ning immediately searched on his phone and seemed to have found some clues. His eyes lit up and he said, "Yes."
"That's good," Shen Mingzheng smiled, put away his tie, and seemed to have returned to his normal self. Then he said, "I'm leaving now. I'm going to the company for a meeting. If you have anything, feel free to contact me."
Su Ning nodded and said yes, then asked him when he would be back in the evening so he could make it for dinner.
"I don't think so. I have a dinner party tonight. I can't turn it down. If it's not over by 9 o'clock, I'll call you." Shen Mingzheng shook his head. He would also take the initiative to report, "I won't stay outside tonight. I will definitely come back."
"Okay," Su Ning said, "I'll leave the light on for you. Let's make some medicinal tea tomorrow morning. I'll go out and buy some later. The weather has been cooler recently, and you'll feel better if you drink it in this weather."
Judging from the conversation, the two people seem like an ordinary and happy old couple.
But at least not yet.
But for Shen Mingzheng, he didn't dare to ask for too much at this time. Being able to have such a life with Su Ning now was already a blessing that he could never have imagined in his previous life.
Because we truly cherish it, we dare not be greedy and are easily satisfied.
And he knew that there were still many heavy mountains pressing on his back, and if he wanted more, he had to keep climbing.
As for Su Ning, not long after Shen Mingzheng went out, he had found the account named "Jixue".
For just a few dozen dollars, you can subscribe to all the content she posts on this not-so-famous platform.
As soon as he heard the voice, he knew it was indeed Ji Xue.
Her reading voice is very pleasant. The scenes in the videos are very simple. For example, she is making a cup of tea on the balcony. The camera records the tea being boiled little by little while she slowly recites a poem or a short story. Sometimes it is an English poem with standard pronunciation. Su Ning found out later that she even knows simple French and Italian.
Because he doesn't show his face and doesn't do any promotion, he isn't very popular on the site, but it sounds peaceful.
She doesn't have many fans, but Su Ning looked at the number of comments and likes below, which is higher than the conversion rate of common short and fast videos. It can be seen that the subscription rate is good and it is particularly attractive to loyal fans.
Just based on this point, she already has some qualities to be a female star. However, even if she is found, Su Ning has no way to bring her back under the current circumstances.
If the other person really finds a soulmate and plans to stay as far away from the entertainment industry as possible, he will naturally bless them. Not everyone has to choose to stay in the entertainment industry.
But from what Ji Xue said yesterday, she had planned what happened to Liao Yuansi. Looking forward, being with Lu Fei doesn't sound that simple.
If she really wanted to seek justice from Liao Yuansi, she would be going against the entire Jianfeng. No matter how Su Ning thought about it, she felt that this matter was a bit risky. Even though Lu Fei was rich, he was not a person in the entertainment industry after all. He would not necessarily intervene too much for Ji Xue. At most, he would change the endorsement or invest some money, which was already the limit.
Ji Xue...what on earth is she planning to do?
No matter how you look at what happened at that time, Ji Xue was a pure victim.
With that face, if it weren't for those bad things, he could have had a bright future. Facing such an experience, Su Ning could never bear it, he couldn't just stand by and watch.
Moreover, if things are really as Ji Xue said, then the Cha Yue endorsement that she "threw over for fun" when they had never met each other is indeed of great significance to Glory.
The seven people's performance this time was still eye-catching. They also happened to interpret several different types of tea drinks, including grapefruit green tea, oolong black tea, refreshing white tea, etc. Because they had a good chat with Lu Fei last time, the advertising department did not dare to neglect it and put a lot of effort into every aspect.
With various endorsements of "Chayue" and "Simu", Glory's popularity is growing.
Su Ning has more resources to contact for the team, such as endorsements, variety shows, evening parties, etc. Shen Mingzheng's album production is nearing completion. In addition to various music promotion programs that need to be contacted in advance, after the new song comes out, the planned national tour must also be put on the agenda.
He was very busy, but when he was tired, he could talk to Shen Mingzheng and look at the seven young people playing and playing in the small group, and he would feel less tired.
The only slightly unpleasant thing about leaving with so much good news was that there was a conflict between the fans and Liao Yuansi’s fans, which could be considered a quarrel.
The cause was "Tea Joy". As a middle school student, Liao Yuansi also has many fans. Although strictly speaking, the positioning of the two sides is completely different, there is no need to distinguish between them in a quarrel.
This side is accusing others of overstepping their authority to claim compensation, and that side is accusing others of being so rude about just an endorsement. It's not us who are feeling wronged. Aren't we allowed to fight back when the senior fans are accusing us? Even some marketing accounts that are looking to stir up trouble have followed suit, just to watch the fun and make trouble.
From Su Ning's perspective, the endorsement has already been obtained, and there is no need for fans to have a meaningless quarrel with the other party. Moreover, if the quarrel gets too loud, it may be that they have fallen into someone else's trap. There is no point in winning the quarrel.
No matter what Liao Yuansi is like, his current image is still very positive as a senior. In the eyes of passers-by, quarreling with seniors in the circle is likely to leave a bad impression.
Normally the official would not intervene directly when fans quarreled. At this critical juncture, he scheduled the second episode of the group variety show for the next day.
When Glory received the news and reviewed the script with the director team the night before, all seven of them were a little surprised.
It's time to shoot the second episode. Everyone feels that the group variety show at this point should be a warm-up for the album. The implicit meaning is to divert fans' attention and prevent the quarrel from continuing.
There might be some training scenes or something, they are all prepared, but the content above looks too simple.
"It's like this. You've been very busy and haven't had a break since your debut. I'll give you a short break tomorrow. It's very relaxing," the director said. "Tomorrow is a day off. You'll go out to buy groceries in the morning, and you can arrange the rest of the time. But there's a simple task, plus a few small games. There will be guests coming over in the evening, and they've ordered the dishes they want to eat. You need to prepare in advance to entertain them, right here in this house."
…Does this Roll King team really sound so kind?
That sounds doubtful.
Lin Zhixian asked: "Is this guest someone we know?"
"Yes," the director team replied, "but who they are and how many people there are will be kept secret for now. You can play some simple games to find out who they are before they arrive."
But since they are people we know, they must be friends or something. Hosting friends at a house is also a common form of variety show.
Since they are all people I know, I feel more relaxed.
It sounds really relaxing.
"Why don't I see Mr. Su?" Zhou Heng looked around and asked again, "Isn't he coming?"
Everyone else wanted to ask this question. It was a little strange that Su Ning was not around at this time.
The director replied: "Mr. Su is too busy. He has been out of town recently and can't come back. The guest of this group show is Mr. Shen Mingzheng from Shen's Pictures."
Everyone: “Oh~”
This suspicion lasted until the next morning, when it disappeared completely.
This time, the program crew, led by Xiao Shen, seemed really kind. They prepared a car for them so they could go out to purchase things, and they also gave them funding, saying that today's purchases could only be paid for from here.
The head of the family is not around and I don’t have to spend my own money, that’s great!
Although there are some mini-games, they are also quite simple. For example, Ji Mowei, who lost the mini-game, had to carry Li Chu, who ranked first in the game, to go shopping in the supermarket. Li Chu, who was carried without touching the ground, was quite happy at first, and then said, "I am very light, hehe."
Ji Mowei weighed it and said honestly: "No, it feels a little heavier than during the competition."
There is also this kind of small game of carrying people on one’s back in the fourth picture.
Li Chu was furious: "...You are talking nonsense! You lost the game and you are jealous and slandering me!"
Ji Mowei: "Ha, who is the little pig knows."
Although he said this, he was still walking briskly with Li Chu on his back.
This supermarket is open for business, and the filming was agreed upon, but the area was not cleared. However, because it is near Xiangshan Villa and is positioned in the middle to high-end market, there were not many people at this time during the day on a weekday, but there were still some customers.
Li Chu was particularly easy to be watched when he was carried on someone's back for a while, and he was recognized immediately. Passersby didn't come forward when they saw him being filmed, but they held up their phones to take pictures.
He felt a little embarrassed, and his toes began to curl up. He quickly felt embarrassed, as if he had no legs, and it was not very comfortable to carry on his back for a long time, so he whispered: "Why don't you put me down? Well, didn't you just say that I was a little heavy? I'm doing this for your own good, be grateful."
"How can that be possible!" E-person Ji Mowei faced all the attention as if he was in an empty space, his expression was normal, "If you lose, you lose. It's not time yet, how can you break the rules?"
Li Chu: ...
Very annoying.
He clearly won the game, but he felt like he had lost.
The seven of them have lived together for a long time and have become very familiar with each other. It's common for them to play around. However, they had to be more serious in front of the cameras at various events and it was impossible for them to make a fuss or joke in such occasions.
But today's group variety show is about leisure, and once they relax, they will seem more natural when getting along with each other. This is actually their usual state, which has never been recorded or released before.
