Chapter 233 Director Yao, you are joking
Even though she knew that Yao Xin had ulterior motives in mentioning the hosting in front of everyone, Yao Xin's provocation hit her heart. As a female host on the Orange platform, An Ling found it difficult to suppress the concern that was quietly growing in her heart.
She stood with her back straight and a faint smile on her face, trying hard to maintain her composure, as if to express that Yao Xin's announcement at this moment was within her expectations and the result of everyone's arrangement.
But everyone knew that under An Ling's forced smile, her mood could not be good.
Ren Limeng's deep eyes narrowed slightly. She organized her words and was about to speak when Shen Xingzhi suddenly spoke. His gentle and indifferent voice was directed directly at Yao Xin.
"Director Yao, Li Meng's excellent performance this week is indeed obvious to all. I didn't do anything outstanding. Thank you for the program team's kindness. You should find a more suitable person to host this."
"Xingzhi, you're being so modest. Didn't you and Li Meng host a Chinese opera performance last week? It went really well. I heard it was even trending on the top search results! Everyone's been praising your hosting skills, your impressive presence, and your understated talents! Besides, you two went to the same school, and your synergy is perfect. Time is running out, so you two are the best candidates!"
Choosing Ren Limeng and Shen Xingzhi to host the Sunday fundraising gala is not so much a reward and preferential treatment for their outstanding performance this week, but rather a result of the program team's eagerness to take action because of their huge traffic and widespread discussion.
As the performance of the two in Mei City during the second public performance was broadcast in the main program of "Shan Hai", the "Ren Woxing" camp of CP fans of Ren Limeng and Shen Xingzhi is quietly growing, as if an undercurrent is quietly surging, and more and more people are beginning to be attracted by the wonderful chemical reaction between them.
The main reason is that Chen Xingzhi's double-standard "staring" gaze is too obvious. When his indifferent and cold eyes look at Ren Limeng, there always seems to be some unusual depth, revealing a subtle tenderness, which is captured by countless shots and appears and disappears, making the audience unable to help but pick up a magnifying glass to magnify all the details, and discuss them fiercely like unraveling the onion.
Just like Ren Limeng's increasing popularity, the number of fans of the "Ren Woxing" super topic has unknowingly reached nearly one million. Although it is not worth mentioning compared to Chen Xingzhi's fan base, this wave of active CP fans has entered the program team's field of vision.
Yao Xin believes that the CP fan "Ren Woxing" of Chen Xingzhi and Ren Limeng has unlimited potential. As Ren Limeng gradually comes into the audience's field of vision, "Ren Woxing" is likely to grow into a chart-topping hit like "Hai Yan He Qing" of Chen He and Hong Qingli in the future.
If the program "Shan Hai" can market a pair of popular CPs, the benefits will be unimaginable. The traffic return alone is enough to make the program team infinitely tempted.
not to mention……
At the recording site, Yao Xin's eyes wandered between the seemingly distinct figures of Shen Xingzhi and Ren Limeng sitting on the chairs. Staring at Shen Xingzhi who seemed to be shaking his head in rejection, Yao Xin smiled meaningfully, with some confidence that he was well prepared.
Yao Xin could hear the firm refusal in Chen Xingzhi's words, but he didn't believe that Chen Xingzhi would not want to co-host with Ren Limeng. All the staff had already seen his attention and affection for Ren Limeng these days. Matters of the heart are not so easy to hide, and he believed that Chen Xingzhi didn't want to hide.
Chen Xingzhi's expression was still stern, as if he was not moved at all by Yao Xin's intriguing eyes. Yao Xin quickly glanced at Ren Limeng and secretly gave her a look, hoping that she would speak up to help persuade Chen Xingzhi.
Hosting a show in public with top-tier star Chen Xingzhi is a recognized shortcut to fame for rising artists like Ren Limeng. Being a CP fan is a rare opportunity for a non-traffic host like Ren Limeng.
Ren Limeng's eyes have always been shining with the pursuit of career and ambition for the future. Yao Xin does not believe that Ren Limeng will indulge in a temporary emotional game and give up her inner ambition. In other words, he has always believed that even if Ren Limeng has true feelings for Shen Xingzhi, it will not be much. The most important thing that Ren Limeng likes about Shen Xingzhi should be Shen Xingzhi's status and fame.
Ren Limeng and Shen Xingzhi were just a common fling in the entertainment industry. The man was after sex and the woman wanted fame, and it was consensual on both sides, that's all.
With the continuous reposting and fermentation of the morning rescue video, Ren Limeng is now able to host a live evening party on the Orange platform with Shen Xingzhi, which is enough to achieve promotion and make good use of Shen Xingzhi's traffic value.
Ren Limeng immediately understood the hint in Yao Xin's eyes. She lowered her eyes slightly, smiled suddenly, and turned her head to look in the direction of Shen Xingzhi, but her gaze passed Shen Xingzhi and fell on An Ling, who had been silent all the time.
"If Brother Xingzhi isn't willing, how about Sister Ling and I co-host together? Sister Ling, I've seen you host many evening parties and learned a lot from you. I wonder if I'd have the honor of hosting with you and receiving your guidance?"
Yao Xin paused and subconsciously looked at Ren Limeng who calmly invited him. A dark meaning flashed in his eyes. After An Ling was stunned for a moment, he quickly nodded and agreed to Ren Limeng's invitation.
"Li Meng, we are partners, right?"
This sudden recording ended very quickly. After the rules were announced, the guests confirmed the schedule for the next few days with the program staff. Before nine o'clock, Yao Xin had announced the end.
Before the show ended, Yao Xin suddenly looked at Ren Limeng with a smile, found an excuse related to the Orange platform, and asked Ren Limeng to stay.
After he amiably asked Ren Limeng if she had encountered any problems recently, he suddenly changed the subject and shot a sharp look at Ren Limeng who was sitting opposite him. His eyes suddenly became sharp and deep.
Ren Limeng was well aware of Yao Xin's dissatisfaction. She smiled gently, without any panic in her tone, "Of course, it's just... Director Yao, why didn't you tell us in advance that you were coming to Gangcheng?"
Last week, Ren Limeng and Yao Xin at most reached a cooperation intention, and never finalized the cooperation between the two parties. But at this moment, Ren Limeng certainly would not reject Yao Xin outright. There may be many modes of cooperation, and at this moment she and Yao Xin have a deeper intention of cooperation.
She spoke with a smile, her tone calm and neither humble nor arrogant, but she also secretly expressed her dissatisfaction.
The so-called cooperation naturally cannot have double standards. She did not respond according to Yao Xin's wishes when Shen Xingzhi hosted the matter, but Yao Xin did not tell her in advance that he was coming to Gangcheng. It's the same for both of them. Why should Yao Xin want to suppress her?
Looking at Ren Limeng's calm smile, Yao Xin sighed softly, and the fierce light in his eyes instantly subsided. He looked helpless, "It happened suddenly. The accidents in the past two days have completely disrupted the rhythm of the program. The flood in Gangcheng directly caused the production team to suspend filming. I only decided to come here at the last minute because I heard that the rain had subsided this afternoon."
Yao Xin raised his eyes and asked with a half-smile, "Li Meng, you're not blaming me for not saying hello, are you?"
Ren Limeng had no right to dictate to the director. She continued to smile calmly and shook her head gently, "Director Yao, what you said is really unfair to me."
"Li Meng, have more confidence in yourself. Your live broadcast today saved the entire program and made a great contribution to the platform. I heard that you don't have an agent yet. What do you think of Xu Jiao from Hanxing?"
Feeling the gentle yet firm ambiguous attitude in Ren Limeng's words, Yao Xin did not force it. He did not argue with Ren Limeng on another topic, but suddenly raised a new question.
As he asked casually, Yao Xin's eyes wandered over Ren Limeng's face with a hint of tentativeness.
"Director Yao, you're joking."
Ren Limeng tilted her head slightly. When she heard Yao Xin suddenly mention "Xu Jiao", her expression did not change at all. She smiled slightly and met Yao Xin's gaze with a calm and composed look, with a hint of composure in her eyes.
He didn't know if it was because the red energy nourished people, but Yao Xin always felt that the feeling he gave Ren Limeng during this meeting was a little different. There seemed to be more complicated emotions in her eyes, which were still hard to read, making him even more unpredictable.
But the reality is, he'd better find a way to win over Ren Limeng now.
"Li Meng, sometimes we can't treat other people's problems as our own. Xu Jiao is a senior agent in the industry and a top player in a big four agency like Hanxing. Such a powerful agent is hard to come by. Our platform recently has a new cooperation with Hanxing, so I can fight for this opportunity for you. I hope you will consider it carefully."
Every word Yao Xin said was full of meaning. He smiled, and his indulgent look seemed as if he didn't care at all about Ren Limeng's rejection a second ago. He was still at ease with the outcome of the cooperation. In the face of absolute interests, many things are not as impossible as imagined, and many relationships are by no means indestructible.
"New collaboration?"
There was finally a different emotion in Ren Limeng's eyes. She leaned forward slightly, looking at Yao Xin intently with some inquiry in her eyes.
Yao Xin just smiled again, not wanting to continue the conversation. "Think about it carefully, Li Meng. These few days are a critical period for you. I hope you won't make a decision that you will regret. Some things cannot be missed."
Yao Xin's nonchalant tone carried a subtle depth of meaning. Ren Limeng could feel the subtle edge in Yao Xin's smile, but she could not quite grasp the profound meaning in his eyes.
While thinking, she could only think that Yao Xin was pretending to be mysterious. In the end, Ren Limeng just smiled lightly, nodded slightly, and politely said, "Thank you, Director Yao, for your trouble," and then left the room.
It was not until she turned on her phone that Ren Limeng finally understood the profound meaning behind Yao Xin's words and appreciated the emphasis he placed on the word "key".
"Brother Xingzhi, why are you still here?"
Ren Limeng closed the door of the room, took out her cell phone, and was about to walk towards the elevator when she saw Shen Xingzhi waiting at the corridor. She was stunned for half a second, looked at Shen Xingzhi with bright eyes, and the smile on the corner of her mouth couldn't help but become more genuine. She asked knowingly while speaking and walked quickly towards Shen Xingzhi.
In public, Ren Limeng was careful with her words and actions. She tried hard to control her excited steps and stopped at a safe distance of one meter from Shen Xing.
