Chapter 62
Shen Mingzheng thought about it and felt that it was okay.
He slept late yesterday and had just gone out to take care of work. He didn't intend to care too much. He went back and kissed Su Ning's forehead, ready to hold him and take a nap.
He helped Su Ning clean up his body, but inevitably left mottled marks. Su Ning, who was sleeping soundly, had a little redness in the corners of his eyes. After he was in his arms, he mumbled something vague in his sleep, which seemed to be "no more", and was hugged tightly by Shen Mingzheng again.
After a while, silence returned to the room.
…
Zhou Chunqing guessed something after she came up, but she felt that it was only a matter of time for the two to get married. The most important thing to her now was her own career.
It would be even better if these two were happy and gave her a promotion and a raise, so that everyone can be happy together.
It was a small matter for Li Chu to ask her to help find some clothes, but models like Ji Xue were rare. This time, a well-known stylist in the industry was invited to the advertising shoot. She could go or not, but when she saw Ji Xue, she decided not to go.
After doing so many styles for boy bands, she really wanted to try a girl, especially someone like Ji Xue who had a perfect face and figure.
There is a car in the group that is specifically used to load clothes. They are all sent by big and small brands. Many of the clothes in the car are too late for the members to wear. There are also many neutral-style clothes. Ji Xue is tall enough, so the clothes are a bit big, but it is not a problem for her. She looks good even in a sack.
The weather in Rongcheng was not cold. Zhou Chunqing picked out a sweater for her, which was originally an oversized style. It almost reached her knees when she wore it. She also lent her her own long boots, matched them with a suitable belt, and casually tied her hair up. This style, which was popular a few years ago, looked very good on Ji Xue.
"it's beautiful."
Zhou Chunqing turned around and praised her.
Ji Xue also followed her movements and turned around. She was sweet when she needed to be sweet, and said, "Thank you, baby. You look pretty, too."
She likes Zhou Chunqing’s eyes, which are round like grapes and so cute.
When Su Ning woke up, the two of them were already having lunch together in the restaurant on the second floor of the hotel.
Their experiences were somewhat similar, so they were able to chat about it, especially when they found out their respective enemies were in jail. They both laughed happily, and were in an even happier mood.
Then when he saw Su Ning coming over, he invited him to come over for lunch.
"Where's Mr. Shen?"
Zhou Chunqing asked.
Su Ning: "Upstairs."
Ji Xue asked: "Won't he come down with us?"
Su Ning: I didn’t let him.”
He felt that Shen Mingzheng needed to calm down.
Ji Xue made an expression of understanding and then stopped asking him, because it looked like Su Ning was still angry.
As unrestrained as Shen Mingzheng was last night, he was as meticulous this morning, no, at noon. He ordered food to be delivered to the room on time. But when Su Ning woke up, he felt that he was not that fragile.
He is not a patient!
Having said that, his legs and feet were sore and he was almost a patient. Especially when Su Ning got up to take a shower in the bathroom, and after carefully looking at the marks on his body, he came out and saw the bed in the room. He didn't want to stay here anymore.
Shen Mingzheng really went a bit too far.
The more he thought about it, the angrier he got. He decided to go downstairs to eat alone and not allow Shen Mingzheng to follow him. Doing business requires a balance between tension and relaxation, and some things should not be overdone.
Although Su Ning still felt a little sore in his thighs after walking here, he thought he was in good condition and he could even sit down here so no one could notice anything unusual.
But in Ji Xue's opinion, Su Ning's behavior still betrayed him.
The corners of his eyes were still a little red, and his whole body looked a little soft, even softer than before, as if he had been soaked in warm water.
Mr. Su has a very attractive appearance. Even when standing among a group of young idols with good looks, everyone will notice him at first sight.
Now it seems to be more attractive.
Even though he was dressed very warmly, the ambiguous atmosphere still seeped out from his turtleneck sweater.
Su Ning ordered a light meal and paid the bill for the two of them.
The two girls were very familiar with him and were not afraid of him as their boss. They slowly ate the desserts that were served after the meal and chatted. Zhou Chunqing talked about her future career plans and Ji Xue also gave her suggestions.
"…Celebrity makeup artists and stylists make a lot of money, but now beauty bloggers still make more money," Ji Xue said, "If you are interested, why not create an account and see how it goes."
Zhou Chunqing subconsciously looked at Su Ning.
Su Ning heard it, slowly swallowed the food, nodded and said, "Okay, if you want to try it, I'll talk to my subordinates later and hire an operations manager for you next week."
He has always been very proactive, and his first reaction to these things is to try it out first.
Zhou Chunqing smiled: "Thank you, Mr. Su."
Ji Xue watched silently, then stroked her hair and asked, "When do you plan to return to Haicheng?"
"The day after tomorrow," Su Ning thought for a moment, "The group has another schedule tomorrow, so we'll be back early the day after tomorrow."
"Okay then," Ji Xue said, "When we get back to Haicheng, would you mind letting me take a look at the contract for the renewal?"
Su Ning was a little surprised and glanced at her, but he immediately nodded and said, "No need to go back to Haicheng. I'll ask my secretary to send you the electronic version of the contract later."
The contract that Ji Xue signed before has not expired yet. Even if it is renewed, it will not be so soon. She still has time to make a decision when she arrives in Haicheng.
Before the two started their next phase of work, Su Ning gave them a day off and said to them, "Go out and have fun these two days, and go shopping for clothes."
It's considered a rest.
However, it is not so easy for Shen Mingzheng to rest, he is very active.
His clingy nature could only last until Su Ning finished lunch, and he couldn't bear it any longer, so he came down soon after.
He was quite resourceful. He didn't say anything else but just said that his wound hurt and he wanted Su Ning to help him change the bandage.
Normally, for Mr. Shen, with his wealth, it would be easy for him to find a few private doctors to bandage his wounds. His injuries were not serious, but he looked miserable and had wounds on his body. He even went over and apologized to Su Ning in a humble manner, completely ignoring the fact that there were two light bulbs watching him. He did not feel ashamed at all.
What can Su Ning do?
He is a person who is extremely soft-hearted towards the people around him, especially Shen Mingzheng who is very good at speaking softly.
Besides, thinking about it carefully, he was the one who nodded his head to what happened yesterday. Now that he was full and felt less sore in his body, he felt that it didn't seem to be a big deal.
Then he followed Shen Mingzheng up with a helpless look on his face, and said, "Be more careful next time, and don't get hurt again."
Shen Mingzheng humbled himself and said, "Okay, I'll do whatever you say."
After the two of them left, Zhou Chunqing sighed and said sadly, "Xiao Chu can't beat him."
What a flexible vixen.
Li Chu is just a die-hard fan and has a lot of work to do outside. How can he stop the wife who is trying to take the position?
Ji Xue also felt the same way and nodded, "I sent him a message to tell him that Su Ning is fine, and it would be better for him to accept the reality as soon as possible."
As a result, the message sent was a series of fatal calls from Li Chu. It was not very clear on the phone and there were other people on the filming site over there. As they were talking, three people formed a small group.
Li Chu went up and changed the name of the group to "Shen Mingzheng is a beast in human clothing!", but Ji Xue felt that it would be disastrous if the reporters took pictures on their mobile phone screens, so she deleted the group name.
After the three people struggled for a while and revised the name repeatedly, finally the group name became "Calm and Peaceful".
Life is a journey of cultivation.

These were not the only ones trying to remain calm.
After Shen Mingzheng coaxed the person back, although he hugged and kissed Su Ning on the cheek while applying the medicine, he knew that he couldn't go too far now. He suppressed his thoughts and was very restrained. He finished the important things that he had not finished last night.
"...Jianfeng's top management has been reorganized, and there are indeed many new people who have not been involved in those things," Shen Mingzheng said, "After we take over, the company still needs to continue."
There are so many ordinary employees waiting to feed themselves, and there are also many projects, cooperation platforms and companies. To some extent, it is a mess that is even more chaotic than Shen's Pictures.
Now, the entire Haicheng circle has indeed become a prey for the two of them, but this circle is new after all, and there are great changes in it. They got it too quickly, and they have to be able to hold on to it.
"I know the old man is suspicious. After this incident, he will definitely place someone around me. Chen Tao is not enough. And he also knows that Chen Tao listens to me most of the time," Shen Mingzheng said, "The person he appointed is Zhu Lan."
When he heard the name, Shen Mingzheng did not refuse immediately.
The old man can trust her, this person is indeed very loyal, and can be regarded as brought up by Shen Antang. She is also very capable and influential, so much so that the ordinary reserve heirs of the Shen family can only bow their heads in front of her.
But in addition to considering her abilities, Shen Mingzheng had other things in mind.
“…With so many people in the family, she is a little different. In fact, she is a sister who grew up with my mother. It is said that she is the orphan of Shen Antang’s friend. He brought her back and raised her as a stepdaughter, just like his own daughter.”
Zhu Lan was different from others in that she rarely told others about this relationship. She didn't know if it was because of her mother's friendship, but when Shen Mingzheng first returned to the Shen family, she told him about the situation at home.
Although it was the old man who gave the instruction, she explained it in detail and also hinted him about all the tiny details.
If this is not enough, then in his previous life, when Shen Mingzheng was freed from his contract and started preparing to make a movie, Zhu Lan really helped him.
Shen Mingzheng later learned that part of the sponsorship he received came from the "Kunpeng Project" led by Zhu Lan, which is an investment program for emerging directors. She probably didn't know Shen Mingzheng's bloodline at the time, otherwise she would have told the old man. At that time, Shen Mingzheng was so emaciated and destitute that he couldn't be recognized as a member of the Shen family.
Maybe it's just because she values talent. Besides Shen Mingzheng, many people in this circle have received her help.
——Zhu Lan’s characteristic in the circle is that she is very good at spending money.
But this does not mean that she is a purely good person. People are complicated. Zhu Lan may have had a little compassion in her previous life, or maybe she just had a lot of money and cast a wide net, but this definitely cannot prompt her to betray Shen Antang now.
She was the "daughter" trained by Shen Antang who would never run away. Taking out some money for investment and betraying her adoptive father were two completely different things.
If she wanted to make further progress in the Shen family, she would have to deal with people around the old man like Zhu Lan. Besides, among all the people in the Shen family, she might be the best choice.
"I understand," Su Ning nodded after listening, and said thoughtfully, "Come if you want."
The two of them have already gone through a lot of trouble to get to this point. The other reserve heirs didn't dare to do anything because of the old man's temper tantrum this time, and they all behaved well.
The Haicheng circle sent Zhu Lan to act as an "imperial envoy" or spy. Under the current circumstances, one must be careful in dealing with her. It does not mean to be confrontational, but at least one must maintain peace on the surface.
And you can only know what it actually is like by seeing it in person.
Shen Mingzheng had the same idea as him, but he opened his mouth but didn't finish what he was saying.
He would tell Su Ning all the useful information he knew and his current considerations without reservation, but he could not mention his failed previous life.
This is the case with most people who are in love.
He tried hard to present treasures to his beloved, but at the same time he would hide his own tattered wounds to make himself look more perfect and decent, to please the other person and to make Su Ning like him more.
So Shen Mingzheng only asked one question in the end: "The Shen family is a bottomless pit... I didn't want to involve you too much."
He intentionally avoided the Shen family's affairs from being affected by Su Ning, so he did not invest in Guangying Entertainment like Liang Xiaoliang did. He just borrowed money. The business would be over when Su Ning's inheritance was paid off. Guangying Entertainment would still be independent and belong to Su Ning.
He has some double standards in this matter. Shen Mingzheng himself knows that there is nothing wrong with letting Su Ning intervene or manage the affairs of Shen's Pictures. He trusts him very much, but the Shen family cannot touch Su Ning.
But he is so hypocritical.
"Are you still worried about me?" Su Ning said indifferently, "I have met all kinds of people. This is nothing."
The current situation of the two of them could not be hidden from the old man and the many people who were watching, and Su Ning did not want to hide it from anyone.
If one really wants to seize power and climb up, and in order to appear to have no weaknesses, and pretends not to care about the other person at all times, and ends up eroding the relationship that has been built with great difficulty, wouldn't that be putting the cart before the horse and living this life in vain?
