With the start of the school year approaching, Chu Yu wanted to visit the Dai family, but Zhou Yun called her on her own initiative.
"Auntie!" Chu Yu waved to Zhou Yun from afar.
Zhou Yun got out of the car, gave the driver some instructions, and walked towards her. She looked at the Hualai Film and Television Company behind Chu Yu from afar and asked incredulously, "You really know Tang Zhenni, the lead actress of 'The Businesswoman'?"
Zhou Yun has been engrossed in watching the drama lately and likes Tang Zhenni more and more.
Just then, Dai Donglin returned home and saw her holding the same clothes as Tang Zhenni, admiring them. He casually mentioned that Chu Yu knew this Tang Zhenni.
Zhou Yun knew that Chu Yu was doing business outside, but she didn't know that Hua Lai was Chu Yu's asset. She thought that Chu Yu had advertised in the TV series, which made Mandarin famous all over the country.
Dai Donglin suggested that Chu Yu introduce her to Tang Zhenni. Zhou Yun was a little nervous and declined for a long time on the phone. It was only after Chu Yu warmly invited her over that she "reluctantly" agreed.
Zhou Yun was one of the first generation of fans. Knowing she was going to meet her idol, she dressed up specially, wearing Mandarin clothing, having her hair done, wearing a scarf, and wearing a pair of black high heels.
In those days, silk scarves and high heels were only worn when meeting guests, and were considered a very formal occasion.
Chu Yu smiled and said, "Auntie, I do know Tang Zhenni. She recently returned to China to participate in a TV interview and also helped CCTV shoot some short films to help farmers. She happened to be at the company, which is why I was able to bring you here. If we had waited any longer, we wouldn't have been able to see her."
Zhou Yun secretly sighed at her good luck. She happily touched her hair and said, "Chu Yu, would it be inappropriate for me to meet Tang Zhenni in private? I heard she's from Hong Kong. Her name and appearance are very stylish, and she knows how to dress. I'm really afraid of offending her."
Zhou Yun is definitely a fangirl.
Chu Yu chuckled and said, "You don't need to be nervous. I discovered Tang Zhenni myself. To be honest, she's not from Hong Kong. All those outrageous rumors circulating outside are false. Of course, some of the rumors were spread by our company to create an image of the artist as someone high and mighty."
"How could that be?" Ms. Zhou Yun, who had never encountered such a scheme before, was stunned by Chu Yu's words. "If she's not from Hong Kong, where is she from? Could she be from Beijing? Or perhaps Shanghai? I don't hear much of a mainland accent from her speech."
Tang Zhenni has a stylish name and a stylish appearance. She changed into more than a hundred outfits in "The Businesswoman". Her high-end and classy persona is deeply rooted in people's hearts. All Chinese people think she is a fashion trendsetter and admire her very much.
Chu Yu spoke frankly:
“She comes from the countryside. I felt she had great potential, so I signed her. I gave her acting and physical training, taught her dance, English, and Cantonese, and also taught her how to dress and style herself. I provided her with a professional styling team. She has great potential, and after being styled, she has a great presence. Coupled with her outstanding acting skills, she is naturally popular.”
Zhou Yun was dumbfounded. She had never known that the path to becoming an actress was so arduous.
It takes so much for an actor to become famous.
However, Chu Yu's mention that Tang Zhenni came from the countryside made Zhou Yun feel very close to her, and she was no longer as nervous as she had been at the beginning.
“I also brought some gifts for Tang Zhenni,” Zhou Yun said with a smile. “Of course, Auntie brought one for you too.”
Zhou Yun's feelings for Tang Zhenni were purely admiration, the kind of admiration a passerby might have for a celebrity, but she never forgot who her real daughter-in-law was.
Chu Yu led Zhou Yun through the gates of Hua Lai. The employees they encountered along the way greeted her with smiles and called her "President Zhou." Zhou Yun found this title strange.
It's not that they look down on Chu Yu, but Chu Yu is still very young. In the eyes of elders like them, she is at most a young person. She is still in college. It is surprising enough that she runs a clothing store. She can't possibly run a film and television company on top of running a clothing store, can she?
Zhou Yun was also a straightforward person, and if she didn't understand, she asked, "Chu Yu, I heard them calling you President Zhou?"
Chu Yu smiled and didn't hide it from her, "Hualai Film and Television is owned by me."
"You have to teach classes and manage the clothing store. I heard that your clothing store has dozens of chain stores. With such a big business, can you handle it?"
"It's because he's young and has good physical strength that he can manage the company on weekends and holidays."
Zhou Yun admired her quite a bit. "You're a resilient and enterprising girl. Although Donglin was involved in both the home appliance market and real estate, he's still a strong and healthy man. I'm not saying women are inferior to men, but women have their periods every month and are always feeling unwell. You spend most of your time at school and manage several businesses at the same time, which is really not easy. In this respect, you're much better than Donglin."
Chu Yu was surprised that Zhou Yun would praise her.
Zhou Yun was also interesting; he was impartial and didn't have many feudalistic and outdated ideas.
“I’m not as good as you say. Dai Donglin’s business is bigger than mine and he earns more money than me.”
“Hey, I know my son well. If it weren’t for you, he really wouldn’t have any concept of money. When a man has a girlfriend, he has the motivation to work hard and he has something to look forward to in the future.”
As they were talking, Chu Yu pushed open the door to the lounge. Tang Zhenni saw her, quickly stood up, and smiled:
"Chu Yu, I was just about to look for you. And who is this?"
Chu Yu smiled and said, "This is my boyfriend's mother. She really likes you and knows that we get along well, so she wanted to come and ask for an autograph."
Tang Zhenni was flattered. If it weren't for Chu Yu, she would still be the same Tang Xiaohong, working as a waitress in a restaurant, enduring not only the beatings and scoldings of the female owner but also the harassment of the male owner.
