Chapter 2
Chapter 2
The short man with a flat head was very respectful and flattering: "Mr. Zhou, this is our company's technical director, Gong Yang." He pointed at Gong Yang.
Then he turned to Cheng Cheng: "This is - uh, that..." Mr. Lu was speechless for a moment. What was the name of this beautiful woman just now?
When Mr. Lu was reminiscing frantically, the man did not show any impatience on his face. Instead, he had a smile on his lips and looked like he was listening attentively.
Mr. Lu scratched his head anxiously: "......"
.......Cheng Cheng clenched his hands under his sleeves.
Fortunately, Gong Yang came to the rescue in time: "Mr. Zhou, this is Cheng Cheng, our special celebrity guest for our game anniversary celebration."
"Oh—" Zhou Yue suddenly realized something, and casually turned the pen in his hand, nodding slightly to Cheng Cheng: "Hello."
Anyone who saw this would think that Zhou Yue clearly didn't know this so-called "star", but still chose to give him face. He is really well-mannered.
Only Cheng Cheng sneered in his heart.
Zhou Yue had already finished his inspection and was about to leave surrounded by the crowd.
He suddenly changed his mind, turned around and walked back, saying to the man with the flat head, "Mr. Lu, I think there are still some areas that need improvement regarding the terms of acquiring your company. Why don't we go back and discuss it?"
Mr. Lu was puzzled: Didn’t we just agree on the deal and were just about to sign the contract? What happened?
Although he secretly complained, Zhou Yue would be his immediate superior in the future, so he did not dare to object and could only nod in agreement.
Zhou Yue casually mentioned Gong Yang's name and said, "Technical Director, come along too. The code you wrote is very unique, and I'd like to take a look."
Gong Yang had already guessed from the previous conversation that the man in front of him was the famous Zhou Yue, a genius who built a gaming empire from scratch. The flagship game under his company had a daily turnover of nine figures.
Zhou Yue is a low-key person and has never appeared in public. Unexpectedly, he looks so outstanding, no less than a movie star.
Faced with the big boss's invitation, Gong Yang hesitated. He was eager to show up in front of Zhou Yue, but...
He looked at Cheng Cheng, feeling a little apologetic.
Cheng Cheng was about to say it was okay when Zhou Yue spoke first. He looked at the two of them and seemed to have just realized something, "...I almost stole Miss Cheng's driver."
With a faint smile, he said, "How about this? As compensation, let my driver take you home."
On to the Maybach.
The driver respectfully asked Cheng Cheng where he was going.
Cheng Cheng gave out a detailed address without any expression.
She currently lives in a single apartment rented by the company. Although it is not large, it has a good location and strict security.
The road from the suburbs to the city center is very long. The driver drove diligently and silently.
The Maybach has excellent performance, the vehicle runs smoothly, and the interior of the car is well soundproofed. No sound from outside can be heard, as if it is isolated from the world.
In a quiet and enclosed space, it is easy for people's minds to empty out and drift into more distant memories.
Cheng Cheng recalled those things that happened a long time ago. Once the memories of the past were turned over, both the good and the bad were still deeply engraved.
While she was daydreaming, the scene outside the car window changed rapidly.
From remote suburban factories to bustling neon streets, we were left far behind by the car, just like the past.
But Cheng Cheng was immersed in his own world and seemed unaware.
When she came to her senses, she was almost near her home. Cheng Cheng remembered to remind the driver that there was subway construction ahead and they needed to take a detour.
Without waiting for her to speak, the driver skillfully turned the steering wheel and went around.
Cheng Cheng was puzzled for a moment, but didn't take it to heart.
--------
Returning to his cozy little home, Cheng Cheng's shoulders relaxed, and the fatigue and muscle soreness that he realized belatedly came over him.
Even though she was talking big to Su Qing, she was still very nervous about today's performance. She had been rehearsing for more than a month before she could achieve zero mistakes in the official performance.
She doesn't have many job opportunities now, so she has to cherish every chance to show her face.
As for what happened that night, she didn't want to think about it too much.
When they were young and in love, that person left without saying goodbye. Now that there is a huge gap in our status, it is absolutely impossible.
The past cannot be pursued and there is no need to pursue it. As for exes, the best outcome is that they are as good as dead.
After taking a comfortable bath, she put on loose cotton pajamas and slippers comfortably, turning on the TV while drying her hair.
Curling up in the sofa, I found the most comfortable sitting position, picked up the remote control on the coffee table and changed the channel out of boredom.
Because Su Qing intends for her to develop in the film and television industry, Cheng Cheng not only attends acting classes on time, but also watches the latest TV series.
Cheng Cheng was not a fan of watching TV series in the past, but he turned on the TV more times in the past six months than in the previous three years.
She also has preferences when watching TV series. There are three things she doesn't watch:
Don’t watch big IPs, realistic themes, or family ethics dramas.
All of the above require either connections or acting skills, and she doesn't have either.
Cheng Cheng is very self-aware. She has no background, no acting skills, and no experience. It is good enough for her to have a few lines and play a supporting role in her first TV appearance.
So when watching the drama, she was not interested in the love-and-tears plot between the male and female protagonists. Instead, she looked for the clips of the third and fourth female protagonists and studied them carefully, and even the maids who had more scenes around the female protagonist were not spared.
Thinking about learning how to act as a qualified and beautiful background board.
After watching a few episodes of lengthy fast-food dramas, she yawned deeply.
Oh no, Weibo isn't open yet today! She woke up with a start.
She manages her own Weibo account.
It’s not that they want to create a persona that is close to fans, it’s just that the company is too small and they don’t bother to take care of her.
She has been busy practicing dancing recently and has not been active for a long time. Her fans are crying out in hunger.
For many celebrities, being able to send a goodnight message online is considered pampering to fans, but Cheng Cheng felt sorry for the fans. Thinking of the hard work of the fans in supporting him online and offline to build momentum for his event today, he decided to post a selfie.
Although she has removed her makeup, Cheng Cheng has naturally good skin and is not afraid to show her bare face.
She put on her slippers and stood up, turned on the light strip on the living room ceiling, pushed a floor lamp about one meter in front of the sofa, turned it to warm white, and then adjusted the angle of the bulb so that its halo could cover the side of her face. She looked serious as if she was doing a precise experiment.
After the lighting was adjusted, Cheng Cheng sat cross-legged on the sofa, tidying his hair, loosely tying most of his long hair behind his head, and pulling out a few strands of hair from his temples to create a messy atmosphere. He supported his chin with one hand, posing a leisurely posture, and turned on the front camera of his mobile phone with the other hand to find the angle. A palm-sized fill light was also placed on his left leg which was not in the camera's range.
Click, click, the continuous shooting function is activated.
After taking the photo, she admired it narcissistically for a while.
No need to edit, just pick the best one and post it on Weibo.
Cheng Cheng: Honey Oranges, thank you for your hard work today. Good night~ [Picture]
A few seconds later, fans started commenting.
The first to arrive at the scene were the ahh ...
[Don’t eat sour bamboo shoots when eating snail noodles: Ahhhhhh, sister is so beautiful, her bare face is amazing! ! ! !]
[Cheng Cheng bravely flies, Mi Cheng will always be with you: Huh? It seems like something is burnt, it turns out that my heart is burning for you! !]
My idol is a great singer and dancer: My sister's skin is so good!!! I need a skincare routine.
Of course, there are also black fans who sing the opposite tune——
[Pingpingdandan19488: I'm so ugly without makeup...vomit.jpg.]
[Warm Every Day: The filter warriors are here! The sofa is even distorted. Even photo editing should follow the basic principles. This is really ridiculous.]
Two negative reviews among a bunch of positive reviews are particularly conspicuous.
Cheng Cheng stopped replying to the comments and clicked on two black fan homepages. One had 0 Weibo posts and a few followers. It was obvious that it was just a mediocre account.
The other homepage has a lot of life sharing, none of which has anything to do with celebrities, and looks like a passerby.
Humph, Cheng Cheng was not intimidated by these. With his experience, he clicked to check "her likes". Sure enough, she was a fan of Lu Ningning.
Looking at her follow list and fan list again, she followed Lu Ningning's National Fan Club, and all her mutual friends were Lu fans.
It’s confirmed!
She snorted coldly as the true identity of another "passerby" was exposed.
I am really smart, Cheng Cheng shook his head proudly.
After blocking the two anti-fans who were making trouble in the comment section, Cheng Cheng couldn't help but think that the anti-fans are more loyal than the fans. He has been out of the spotlight for so long, but Lu Ningning's fans haven't let it go yet.
When she first debuted, she and Lu Ningning were in the same girl group. Cheng Cheng was better than her in both dancing and appearance, which caused dissatisfaction among her fans, and the two often had friction.
Lu Ningning's business ability is average, but she is smart. Seeing that she couldn't become popular in the girl group, she somehow got in touch with Yaoshi Entertainment and switched jobs.
Yaoshi is the company that Cheng Cheng almost signed a contract with.
Yaoshi is indeed the top star-making company in the industry. Lu Ningning has an average personality and ability. She can neither be a powerful actor nor win fans with her humor, so she finds another way -
So, Lu Ningning, who never liked small animals, suddenly became a "pet lover" with three cats and two dogs at home.
Posting photos and vlogs of cats, dogs, and rescued animals all day long.
Under the strong operation of the company, the number of fans has exceeded five million.
It’s five times that of Cheng Cheng.
Lu Ningning is living such a good life that she probably forgot about herself a long time ago, but her fans are still jumping around here and don't even mind losing her status.
As his former colleague is doing better and better, Cheng Cheng is not jealous. Instead, he laughs at the "self-degradation" of Lu Ningning's fans.
With such a good attitude, you will succeed in everything you do.
She slept soundly tonight, as if she had had a very long dream.
In her dream, she returned to the summer vacation of her senior year in high school.
A girl in a pink gauze skirt was running in the streets with her skirt lifted up. Sometimes her white leather shoes would accidentally step into potholes in the water, splashing a few drops that then fell down.
She ran with a bright smile, without looking back.
In the hot summer, the girl was running with sweat all over her forehead, and the afternoon sun sprinkled golden light on her plump forehead.
Finally caught up with the boy in front.
"Hey, Zhou Yue!"
The boy turned his head. He was wearing a white shirt, had a slender figure, a high nose bridge, clean lines, slightly protruding brow bones, but his eyebrows were light and distant, which weakened the sharpness of his facial features.
When he raised his eyes, the corners of his eyes were slightly raised, adding a bit of youthful gentleness.
The girl was tired from running. She leaned on her knees and gasped for breath, proudly shaking the report card in her hand.
"Look, I got 550 points on the college entrance exam, which is enough to get into the S City Dance Academy."
"Um."
"Huh? That's it? What else???" The girl kept chasing after the boy.
"S City Dance Academy and S University are only five stops away." The boy stopped helplessly, looking impatient, but there was clearly a smile in his eyes.
"What do you mean?" The girl didn't understand and said anxiously: "You said you don't want a stupid girlfriend. I got 550 points in the exam. I'm not stupid. This should be fine, right?"
The boy was still calm, with a barely perceptible hint of fondness in his eyes. He tapped the tip of her delicate nose and said, "Silly girl."
"?" The girl looked stunned and didn't seem to understand. She insisted on an explanation: "Can that idiot be my girlfriend?"
"Hey, you haven't said... mmmm--"
......
Time flies and the girl grows up.
It was still the same street, and I saw the same back again.
Take two quick steps and the figure is right within reach.
She stepped forward and patted him.
That person was the same as before, turning around——
...a face without any features.
“......Ah!!!!!!!!!” Cheng Cheng was awakened by the shock.
When she finally came to her senses from her fear, she found that her back was soaked with sweat.
She wanted to force herself not to think about that person, but he ended up coming back to harass her in her dreams.
Seeing an unclean person made her dreams become unclean as well.
unlucky.
