Chapter 22
The first Game Industry Development Conference was held in City S. Since it was the first time, the organizers wanted to make the conference a golden signboard and put a lot of effort into it, inviting many important figures to attend.
Although it is a grand event for the gaming industry, the attendees include not only professionals in the gaming field, but also celebrities from the political and business circles.
The organizers also invited celebrities and many domestic and foreign news media to increase the popularity of the event, hoping to make it popular.
Zhou Yue rarely brought a female companion with him today.
He was seen walking into the venue arm in arm with a tall woman in a golden fishtail skirt.
As the two came in, the originally noisy venue suddenly became quiet for a few moments.
Everyone turned their eyes to the focal point.
Cheng Cheng was sitting in the back seat playing with his phone out of boredom. When he heard the noise, he put his phone down curiously and looked around.
When he saw the two people standing by the signature wall at the entrance, the smile on his lips froze.
.......This man is dressed very respectably tonight. His well-tailored haute couture suit perfectly outlines his sturdy figure, handsome features, and gentle smile.
The female companion has a bright smile and elegant temperament, and they look really well-matched...
Hey, wait, is this... Lu Xue? Cheng Cheng squinted, trying to see the woman's face clearly.
Looking closely, it was indeed Lu Xue, the Lu Xue who had won many awards at such a young age.
Lu Xue had many good resources as soon as she debuted, and her career was booming. In addition to her excellent acting skills, her family background was also an important factor.
Just because her background is in the capital, no one dares to mess with her even though she is developing in S City, let alone any unspoken rules.
Because of her wealth and background, paparazzi dare not reveal her gossip, so she has an excellent reputation.
Cheng Cheng was sitting next to another actress, who had just wanted to strike up a conversation with her. Seeing Cheng Cheng staring at Lu Xue, she took the initiative to bring up the topic, saying with a gossipy look on her face, "Look, it's Lu Xue! Doesn't she never participate in events like this? She only focuses on filming. The organizers are really powerful to have invited her here."
Cheng Cheng: “….”
The actress continued, "It may not be the power of the organizer, maybe it's directed at Zhou Yue." There was a subtle hint of sourness in her tone.
"Alas, the daughter and the young master are such a perfect match. We, the spectators, can only watch and have fun." The actress shook her head, pulled out a bag of sunflower seeds from her palm-sized Chanel bag, and asked Cheng Cheng, "Do you want some?"
Cheng Chengcai uttered the first sentence: ".......No, thank you."
"Hey, what's your name? Let's add each other on WeChat." The actress was very familiar.
Cheng Cheng took out his phone and added WeChat.
In order to facilitate work, her WeChat name is Cheng Cheng. The actress glanced at her phone and suddenly realized: "Oh, I remember, you, you are not the one who became popular for playing the female supporting role a while ago, that...Qing"
"Qingyao." Cheng Cheng added for her.
"Yes!" the actress clapped her hands and said excitedly.
"I really envy you for having such an impressive role." The actress looked at her with sparkling eyes.
Being stared at with such sincerity, Cheng Cheng felt a little embarrassed and quickly waved his hands: "She's just a supporting actress..."
"The supporting actress is also very good, unlike me--" She realized that she had said something wrong and quickly covered her mouth.
But it was too late. Cheng Cheng followed up on her question and asked, "What plays have you acted in?"
"After rebirth, I became the domineering CEO's white moonlight."
"Marrying a widowed sister-in-law for the second time and becoming the founding queen."
"Become a concubine's daughter trying to climb up the social ladder."
Cheng Cheng: ".......Uh, a skit." She didn't mean to look down on skits, but -
The actress also noticed her confusion, closed her eyes, and said resolutely: "To tell you the truth, I actually sneaked in."
Cheng Cheng: "Hmm?"
"A relative of mine works here, and someone just happened to quit temporarily, leaving a vacant position, so... hehe" she stuck out her tongue mischievously.
"I just entered this industry and haven't signed with a company. I originally came here to make some connections, but it turns out that everyone here is more powerful than the other, and they are all big shots. How dare I talk to them for fear of being exposed? I had to just be a background person." She sighed.
"I'm sorry I lied to you. If you're angry, just delete my WeChat." She looked up at Cheng Cheng pitifully.
Cheng Cheng was amused and thought she was cute: "Why did you delete it? Maybe we can collaborate one day."
"By the way, what's your name?"
"My name is Su Wanqing."
"Nice to meet you, Wanqing." Cheng Cheng extended his hand.

Zhou Yue and Lu Xue were arranged in the first row.
Lu Xue was wearing ten-centimeter high heels and accidentally tripped on the carpet while walking. She was about to fall, but Zhou Yue was quick to catch her. Lu Xue was almost hanging on the man.
She exclaimed, then patted her chest in relief and gave Zhou Yue a shy smile.
This scene was seen by everyone, and Cheng Cheng felt a little irritated when he saw the tacit understanding between the two.
I always feel like I'm doing this on purpose for someone.
She tried to ignore the strange sour feeling in her heart and told herself not to think about it.
They have broken up for more than a month. It has nothing to do with her who Zhou Yue is dating, right?
Cheng Cheng took out a small mirror from her bag and touched up her makeup.
She took out her lipstick and looked at herself in the mirror.
She lost a lot of weight this month, and even Su Qing, who was very strict about her weight, couldn't stand it and tactfully advised her to stop dieting.
Cheng Cheng smiled but said nothing.
Su Qing probably guessed that something was wrong between her and Zhou Yue, so she forwarded her a WeChat public account post late one night: "How can you get over a breakup? Follow these four steps and you'll win."
Cheng Cheng:.......
Zhou Yue put away his phone with the front camera turned on, frowned slightly, and looked displeased.
That heartless woman didn't react at all and was still looking at herself in the mirror leisurely!
Lu Xue put her red lips close to Zhou Yue's ear, pretending to be intimate, but actually whispering: "How is it? Did the provocation work?" She tried hard to suppress her excitement.
Zhou Yue didn't say anything, but his tightly pursed thin lips gave the answer.
"That shouldn't be the case." Lu Xue puffed out her chest proudly and concluded, "My acting skills must be fine, so it must be you who got caught."
"You're not committed enough." Lu Xue patted his shoulder and said earnestly, "Look, there's enough space between us to fit a Steadicam. We don't seem like a couple at all. It'd be strange if she got jealous."
It turned out that after the two broke up, Zhou Yue immediately regretted it.
But he was too embarrassed to be the first to ask for peace, so he came up with a dirty trick.
Lu Xue was the "helper" he deliberately found to anger Cheng Cheng.
Looking at the situation, the other party was unharmed, but I was furious.
Shi Luo, Cheng Cheng’s best friend’s favorite science fiction writer, was also present.
Remembering her best friend's advice, during the intermission, Cheng Cheng took out a book and asked her best friend to sign it.
After searching for a while, she finally found Shi Luo not far away.
He is about fifty years old and has an elegant temperament.
He was currently holding a cocktail and chatting with someone at the booth.
Cheng Cheng walked a few steps away and stopped, waiting quietly with the book in his hand.
On the one hand, I didn't want to interrupt Shi Luo's conversation, but on the other hand—
I don't want to see Zhou Yue.
That’s right, the person chatting with Shi Luo was Zhou Yue.
In fact, Shi Luo himself was also confused.
He and Zhou Yue did not know each other, but because they had mutual friends, they would chat politely when they met and exchange contact information. The social interaction usually ended there.
Zhou Yue had already said goodbye to him and was about to leave, but suddenly asked him an astronomical question.
Just trying to make conversation.
After Shi Luo finished his patient explanation, he was about to go and chat with his acquaintances again, but Zhou Yue didn't want to let him go and started talking to him about the strategic cooperation on how the gaming industry could integrate with science fiction.
Shi Luo: ...Do we know each other well, brother?
As the saying goes, don't hit a smiling person. Although he didn't know why Mr. Zhou, who was known for his aloofness, turned into a sticky piece of candy, Shi Luo had to keep smiling and talk freely.
But he found that Zhou Yue's attention was not on the conversation at all, and his eyes kept turning in another direction.
That was the tea break counter, with all kinds of exquisite desserts on it. There was also a long-haired beauty sitting on a chair nearby to rest.
Zhou Yue was definitely not the type to peek at beautiful women, so that was another possibility. So, Shi Luo said very considerately, "Mr. Zhou, are you hungry? The snacks over there look good."
In fact, Zhou Yue noticed Cheng Cheng when he walked towards this side.
He thought his provocation had finally worked and Cheng Cheng came to him to make peace.
Look, she really is standing there and not leaving. She must be waiting for me to finish talking.
Thinking of this, Zhou Yue deliberately dragged Shi Luo along to delay the conversation. He felt that he had put on enough airs, and just then, Shi Luo said he wanted to eat something. (Shi Luo:?)
In a good mood: "Come over and eat."
"I heard that your voice is hoarse. There is lemonade over there." Zhou Yue added considerately.
Shi Luo: “............” My voice is hoarse because I am explaining to you the relationship between the Planck scale and the uncertainty of quantum mechanics. And what’s with your generous tone? It’s as if it’s your own business.
Send away the stone.
Zhou Yue tugged at his tie reservedly, pretending to be nonchalant but actually waiting for Cheng Cheng to catch up.
Cheng Cheng took a step forward.
Zhou Yue snorted lightly.
Cheng Cheng turned on her toes and greeted Shi Luo with a smile on her face: "Hello, Teacher Shi, my friend is a big fan of yours. Could you please sign an autograph for her?"
Zhou Yue: “….”
The man's self-esteem was severely hit, and he had a sullen face until the end of the conference. Even when the top ten outstanding entrepreneurs were awarded, he didn't smile at all, making people mistakenly think that what he was holding in his hand was not an IOU.
As for Cheng Cheng, he quickly adjusted himself after a brief period of bitterness.
In fact, after reconciling with Zhou Yue, her heart was always floating in the air and could never settle down.
The relationship between the two is not equal. The boy next door in childhood has become a CEO worth hundreds of millions. Is the love they had in their childhood still as pure as before?
How long can this love last? Is it really strong?
Once Zhou Yue takes back his love, how will she cope with it, having poured all her feelings into him?
She is always pessimistic.
In order to indulge herself in love, she deliberately filled her schedule and told herself: career is more important than love.
After the event, Cheng Cheng dragged his tired body back to the apartment where he lived alone.
I found a drunk man at the door.
