Chapter 18
Dating variety shows are a new type of variety show in recent years. They are very popular and have a fixed audience group. Many amateurs have made their debut through this type of variety show.
What makes "Heart-Stirring Blind Box" different from other types of dating variety shows is that it is a celebrity dating variety show. The celebrities have their own fan base, and combined with the existing audience group, after it was broadcast, the topic level was directly maximized.
As a senior agent, Su Qing has a sharp eye. After Cheng Cheng came to prominence, he received many invitations to events.
Su Qing made the right choice in choosing this one among so many invitations.
"Heart-Stirring Blind Box" is well-produced, well-funded, and willing to spend money on publicity. In addition, the program itself is innovative and belongs to a new track of variety shows. It became a hit after it was broadcast.
Soon, a group of fans came to recommend the program and watched it regularly every week.
Among them, the four pairs of CPs also have their own characteristics. On the CP popularity list of the program, Cheng Cheng and Zhang Weizi's CP ranks first.
The combination of handsome men and beautiful women looks pleasing to the eye and comfortable. They have a good understanding of each other in the show and perform the games the best.
Soon, various eye contact and sweet cuts of the two appeared one after another.
The two CPs have an exclusive name, called Orange Dimension CP.
The reason why this CP became popular is not only because the two actors are a good match, but also because of the support of the fans.
Some fans of celebrities have a possessive desire for their brother/sister and don’t want them to hype up a couple relationship.
Fans of these two people are very clear-headed. The competition in the entertainment industry is fierce, and it is better to cooperate and achieve win-win results than to fight alone.
It’s still not too late to dismantle it once it becomes a top star.
Moreover, in the current environment, male-female CPs are not as advantageous as male-male CPs, so fans should not hold them back any longer.
Therefore, the fans of both sides are very harmonious. Not only do they not quarrel, but they work together to make the CP dance popular.
Seeing the popularity rising steadily, fans and the real owners are happy to see it happen.
Among them, the only one who was unhappy was Zhou Yue.
Driven by possessiveness, he became furious when he saw Cheng Cheng and Zhang Weizi's names together, and he wanted to tell the world that this woman was his.
But Cheng Cheng was so busy with his career that he had no time to pay attention to his "boyish thoughts".
Zhou Yue became even angrier.
Ji Tian discovered that the boss was in a bad mood recently.
However, the company's market value has climbed again, financial reports have increased year by year, and the boss has just been recognized as one of the top ten outstanding young people.
As a hard-working worker, Ji Tian couldn't imagine what Zhou Yue's worries were.
Could it be...that there is a problem in the relationship?
Had a fight with Miss Hermes? Ji Tian made an irresponsible guess.
Zhou Yue has been very angry recently. Just when there was a small error in the financial department's report data, he got furious and beat and scolded the financial director.
In the afternoon, Ji Tian took the initiative to replace her daily coffee with green tea and sent it to Zhou Yue's office.
Cool down the boss.
But she found the man asleep on the desk.
Ji Tian did not wake him up, but gently placed the teacup on the table and was about to turn and leave. When she left, she accidentally saw that Zhou Yue's mobile phone was on. She took a look curiously and found that Zhou Yue was watching the live broadcast.
Looking closely, the two people above, the man is handsome and the woman has bright eyes and white teeth, they are the recently popular Orange-Dimensional CP.
Ji Tian happened to be following this variety show, so she stopped and watched for a few seconds.
Unexpectedly, Mr. Zhou is also a fan. Ji Tian suddenly feels that the boss has gained some popularity.
In just a moment, Zhou Yue woke up.
His eyes were confused at first, but soon he cleared up and looked at Ji Tian with a frown.
Ji Tian was caught peeking at her phone, and she suddenly had an idea to explain: "Mr. Zhou, I saw you fell asleep, so I wanted to help you turn off your phone..."
"No need." Zhou Yue said coldly.
He knew that Cheng Cheng had been very busy recently, and it was not easy to get an appointment with a rising female star.
Either he was not available or Cheng Cheng was not available, so sometimes he had to send five messages before receiving a reply.
Zhou Yue wanted to search online to find out what Cheng Cheng was busy with these days to ease his homesickness.
I didn't expect to find a live broadcast of her and Zhang Weizi together.
The jealousy was overturned.
Rationally, Zhou Yue knew that this was work, but his rival radar was extremely sharp, and he always felt that this guy was trying to steal his girl.
Cheng Cheng has not given him a status yet, and he still feels unsure.
Zhou Yue picked up his phone and looked at the two people on the screen, his eyes switching back and forth between murderous intent and love.
Ji Tian didn't notice and thought that the boss and she were on the same page, so she said warmly, "Boss Zhou, are you also a fan of Orange Wei?"
Zhou Yue shook his stiff neck and slowly turned to look at her: "...also?"
Ji Tian didn't notice anything unusual and continued enthusiastically, "Yes, yes, their CP has been so popular recently. I wait for the broadcast of "Heart Blind Box" on time every Saturday just to see them."
"Haha." Zhou Yue lowered his head and smiled.
Ji Tian also smiled and winked at Zhou Yue: We are one family.
"........I remember there is an invitation to a cocktail party next Saturday." Zhou Yue said without thinking.
"Ah? Uh, yes...but didn't you say you were too busy and asked me to cancel?" Ji Tian, who was still chattering, suddenly stopped, not understanding how the topic turned to work.
"Oh, I suddenly remembered that this cocktail party is quite important and you must attend. You accompany me and remember to pick out a dress. The company will reimburse you."
Ji Tian: “…”
Something is wrong, something must have gone wrong, she thought.
Although the boss was smiling, Ji Tian could sense a chill.
A woman's sixth sense told Ji Tian: It's not advisable to stay here for long.
Just when she was about to use her Thirty-Six Stratagems and run away, she heard Zhou Yue ask coldly, "Do you think they are a good match?"
Ji Tian widened her eyes: "......"
She rolled her eyes, and while observing the boss's expression, she said tentatively: "Well, if we talk about a good match——"
Zhou Yue raised his eyebrows.
Ji Tian understood and immediately turned around: "Actually, they are not really a good match!"
Zhou Yue's eyebrows relaxed, and Ji Tianxin thought: I guessed right.
Ji Tian was filled with joy at having guessed the question correctly, and the following words came out without thinking: "Zhang Weizi has a lot of fans, and promoting him and Cheng Cheng as a couple is a form of poverty alleviation. Fortunately, Cheng Cheng is good-looking, which makes up for this shortcoming. But then again, why would Zhang Weizi be willing to give blood to Cheng Cheng? I think he still likes her. Only love can make a person so humble and disregard interests..." Ji Tian was completely immersed in her own artistic world and didn't notice that her boss's face was as black as the bottom of a pot and was covered with dark clouds.
Good job! Zhou Yue licked his back teeth and interrupted Ji Tian's second creation: "Not much work lately, right? So, for the business plan that the board of directors didn't approve last week, you need to make a new one for me. Oh no, make two, Plan A and Plan B. I want to see the first draft tomorrow."
Ji Tian: “…” If looks could kill, Zhou Yue would be completely bruised by now.
The smile doesn't disappear, it just shifts.
Now it was Zhou Yue's turn to be cheerful. He said happily, "You can go out now. Remember to close the door."
"Okay, Mr. Zhou." Ji Tian pulled the stiff corners of his mouth, and the moment he turned around, his face fell and he uttered a string of silent Chinese curses.
"WCNMLGBCSBQSBSJB!!!!!"
Zhou Yue, who was making a confession plan, sneezed violently in the office: "A-choo!! A-choo!! A-choo——"
He doesn't want to be a spare tire anymore, he wants to become the regular!
He will not feel at ease until Cheng Cheng is not his official girlfriend.
There are so many handsome guys in the entertainment industry that Zhou Yue is really worried that his childhood sweetheart will be seduced away by some young hunk one day.
Always make sure that he is your boyfriend.
But Cheng Cheng was too busy these days to meet Zhou Yue, so he couldn't find a chance to show off.
Yes, he had a good idea.
His birthday is next month, so I might as well take advantage of that time to confess my feelings to him.
But before that, he had something more important to do.
Zhou Yue made a phone call to a good friend.
"Brother, do me another favor... Don't worry about who it is, I will bring her to see you..."
——————
Recently, fans discovered something strange.
The CP of Cheng Cheng and Zhang Weizhi is very popular. They frequently work together on business, live broadcasts, and interact on Weibo, not to mention many sweet moments such as dates and birthdays.
As the number of CP fans grows, in recent days, a force has emerged from nowhere to sing a different tune.
They are well-trained and their words are consistent.
A fan commented on the CP video, "So sweet, so sweet." Someone replied, "How can it be sweet? It's obviously official."
They even want to get involved in other people's private super topics.
Very disappointing.
And those who do this are the fans of both sides.
The fans of the two groups, He Meimei, were waiting for the main character to be promoted, but they were stunned when faced with the sudden emergence of hostile forces.
This group of high-level water armies are different from "black fans". Black fans spread rumors and slander, but this group of high-level water armies have no malice and simply want to separate the two.
It was as if he had to distance himself from the relationship between the two.
But they miscalculated, because for many CP fans, they don’t care whether the CP is real or not, as long as there is sugar. Even if there is no sugar, they can find sugar themselves.
But fans of both sides are still confused——
Whose cake has been touched that they have to spend so much money to deal with us?
Too much money to burn?
Big fans began to suspect that it was the work of the other three couples on the show, especially focusing their suspicion on Lu Ningning and He Ran.
Because this couple also tried hard on the microphone, but the effect was not great.
But after careful investigation, the fans found that it was not them. So, forget it, it didn’t cause any adverse effects anyway, so they just let them be.
Is there someone with a lot of money and nothing to do but do these thankless tasks?
Zhou Yue didn't know he was being scolded.
He is preparing his own birthday surprise.
He booked an entire floor of the revolving restaurant, prepared flowers and a band, and also a jewel necklace that he bought at a high price from an auction house.
This is an exquisite sapphire necklace. Blue is Cheng Cheng's favorite color. The main gem of the necklace is the rare Kashmir sapphire. The Kashmir sapphire has a velvety texture and will appear deep indigo under the light, just like a mermaid's tears. The main gem is connected by a platinum chain. The soybean-sized broken gems surround the main gem like a crown, like stars surrounding the main star, with countless tiny starlight gathering together, dazzling.
No woman doesn't love jewelry, and Zhou Yue believes that this gift will definitely impress Cheng Cheng.
The two of them had always loved each other, but were separated due to a misunderstanding. Now they can meet again, and they have each other in their hearts. Being together is a natural thing and is also God's arrangement.
Zhou Yue never thought about the possibility that Cheng Cheng would reject him.
Cheng Cheng didn't know that Zhou Yue was taking the trouble to prepare a surprise.
She picked up her old job again.
Preparing for his first solo single.
Although she is well-known as an actress, she still has a dream of becoming a singer in her heart.
It’s a pity that due to the company’s decision, her idol group disbanded in less than a year.
Now that Cheng Cheng has a certain say in the company, he made this request to the company.
After the last quarrel with Su Qing, Cheng Cheng no longer trusted her as wholeheartedly as before.
She regarded Su Qing as her career support, but she didn't expect that she would collude with the company to deceive her.
If Cheng Cheng hadn't let the secret slip during that argument, he didn't know how long they would have kept it a secret from him.
Making music costs a lot of money and does not bring in significant returns. You also need to spend money on promoting the songs, which is far less cost-effective than taking on variety shows or filming movies.
Su Qing's first instinct was to reject Cheng Cheng's "idealistic" decision, as it would cost too much and would not be recovered.
But then I thought, why not just go along with her, which would just help ease the relationship between us.
Moreover, becoming a multi-talented artist is also a good choice. It gives you an extra competitive advantage. You can be labeled as a singer and take on OSTs besides acting.
The company thought so too and agreed with her idea.
Cheng Cheng's potential and plasticity have been demonstrated.
The company also invested heavily, hiring a foreign music team to create songs tailored for her.
Cheng Cheng knew that there were not many opportunities left to release singles, and this was the first time and very likely the last.
She knew that the company was in debt, and this was a way to make up for it and also to please her.
She cherishes these few opportunities and wants to do her best.
These days, she shuttles between the recording studio and the dance studio, even dancing in her dreams.
Not to mention there is other work in between.
Xiaoxia accompanied Cheng Cheng on various promotional trips across the country. She was so tired that her face looked thinner. The company also assigned Cheng Cheng a male assistant, making it more convenient for her to travel.
————————
After Cheng Cheng visited the factory workshop of the cosmetics brand and boarded the plane back to City S, he finally remembered Zhou Yue.
This man seems to have not sent me a message for several days?
Zhou Yue is holding a meeting with department managers.
The phone vibrated.
He stopped flipping through the documents, lowered his eyes and glanced, his eyes lighting up.
The department managers seem calm, but they are actually paying close attention to the boss's every move.
Zhou Yue's expressionless face suddenly changed, just like a black and white movie theater came into color and the iceberg melted.
"The meeting is suspended. Please discuss first. Do you have any better ideas besides what I just mentioned?"
Zhou Yue raised the corner of his mouth, picked up his phone and went out.
There was a hint of...cheerfulness in his tone?
The financial director who had just been scolded a few days ago rubbed his eyes:...Mr. Zhou, is he smiling?
I must have seen it wrong! The financial director was convinced.
Alas, one has to accept aging. After forty, my eyesight isn't very good anymore. I'll ask my wife to buy some lutein for me someday, the financial director thought.
"You finally remembered me." Zhou Yue said resentfully.
Cheng Cheng comforted him and explained that he was too busy and would definitely make time for him after he was done with this busy period.
"Oh, by the way, I also prepared something for you--" Cheng Cheng was about to say something when her assistant Xiao Xia ran over and said loudly, "Sister Cheng, the gift you asked me to buy for you--" Xiao Xia didn't see that Cheng Cheng was on the phone, and her voice was so loud that it carried into the microphone through the air.
"Shh..." Cheng Cheng quickly gestured to Xiao Xia to shut up.
"You didn't hear anything just now, did you?" Cheng Cheng was a little panicked.
"No, the signal was bad here just now. Did you speak?" Zhou Yue pretended not to understand, but he was actually very happy.
I didn’t expect Cheng Cheng to remember my birthday and even prepared a birthday surprise for me.
No need to make an appointment in advance.
She breathed a sigh of relief knowing that Zhou Yue didn't hear it.
Cheng Cheng knew that Zhou Yue didn't like her and Zhang Weizi being a couple. If he knew that she was celebrating Zhang Weizi's birthday, he would be unhappy even if it was a mandatory requirement of the company.
It is better to have less trouble than more, so she did not tell Zhou Yue about this matter.
