Chapter 89 Xiao Meng Ming's Cards, Greed
The last time Chen Jingyuan and Meng Ziyi met was when they visited the set last year.
In the following months, Meng Ziyi was neglected by Dilraba due to her hostility, but later regretted it and was encouraged again by Chen Yao.
Meng Ziyi rekindled that feeling of being able to talk about anything on WeChat.
Of course, from Chen Jingyuan's perspective, it seems that Meng Ziyi might be throwing a tantrum.
The car quickly arrived at the restaurant where the shared location was located, and to everyone's surprise, Meng Ziyi was waiting outside.
Today, Meng Ziyi wore a white tank top with a light blue shirt-style jacket, and jeans on the bottom.
She looked youthful and beautiful, but seemed a bit more delicate than before.
Chen Jingyuan's eyes lit up, and Meng Ziyi ran over as soon as she saw Chen Jingyuan get out of the car.
"Brother Jingyuan!"
With a joyful expression, Meng Ziyi boldly embraced Chen Jingyuan, her happiness radiating from the depths of her heart.
Chen Jingyuan was slightly taken aback by the sudden hug.
Why does Meng Ziyi seem a bit clingy after just one year?!
Perhaps it was his imagination, or maybe he was just happy to see him after so long.
"Don't let the reporters take pictures of us later."
Chen Jingyuan spoke slowly in Meng Ziyi's ear, and could faintly smell a unique fragrance emanating from the young girl.
"I'm not famous anymore, so if I get photographed, I'll just let it be."
"Maybe it can increase its popularity."
Meng Ziyi's voice rang out, tinged with grievance.
Chen Jingyuan thought that Meng Ziyi's career development did indeed have a tendency to start strong but end weakly.
He gained considerable fame after filming the first two parts of the Zhenhua Trilogy, but it was all ruined by Rongxin.
For a moment, he didn't know whether Rong Xinda lacked resources or simply didn't think highly of Meng Ziyi.
Just as he was lost in thought, Meng Ziyi finally let go, but still held one of his hands.
As for the driver behind them, Liu Dali tacitly led Jiang Qiumei away.
Jiang Qiumei was no stranger to the chaos in this circle; someone like Chen Jingyuan would definitely be in high demand.
Countless actors and minor stars aspire to rise to the top!
Although Chen Jingyuan and Dilraba's relationship is indeed close, the problem is that everything is unknown before they get married.
Jiang Qiumei can simply pretend to be blind; there's no need for her to get involved.
No one knows what President Chen is thinking; she should just side with Sister Liu and Chen Keke.
No matter who ultimately comes to power, they will stand firm!
This is true wisdom!
As for Liu Dali, he wasn't that bothered at all; President Chen was just being loyal to Cheng.
Because he joined Tianhe Studio, he received a total of twenty months' worth of year-end bonuses and project bonuses.
He's just a driver, yet he gets this kind of treatment.
Suddenly his annual income increased by hundreds of thousands, and Chen Jingyuan didn't even ask him to be present during holidays.
They even sent him a large red envelope containing 10,000 yuan.
At this point, it would be foolish to be oblivious.
Moreover, Tencent has a strict system for training drivers.
Disclosure of executives' schedules or other information is prohibited, and confidentiality agreements have been signed.
At best, they'll be fired; at worst, they'll be sued in court.
Chen Jingyuan may have a slight moral problem, but he's not a big deal. There aren't many wealthy people who can stick to their principles anyway.
None of Tencent's many senior executives have been involved in any scandals because they are all saints and it's obviously impossible for them to have one.
It's mainly due to the influence of the penguin itself; even other internet companies will give the penguin some face.
Chen Jingyuan was unaware of Liu Dali and Jiang Qiumei's actions.
At this moment, he was being pulled to a seat by Meng Ziyi. The seats next to each other were very close, and if outsiders didn't know, they would think they were a couple.
Although it took a while, it's still May and many dishes are still quite "heaty" (causing internal heat).
"This wasn't supposed to be your indulgence meal, so how did it turn into a meal for both of us?"
Chen Jingyuan couldn't help but speak up, his words carrying a hint of teasing.
"Actually, I've been indulging in quite a few indulgent meals lately."
Meng Ziyi touched her cheek, her face showing considerable regret, and said.
Chen Jingyuan's gaze couldn't help but fall on Meng Ziyi's face, which did indeed have a bit of baby fat.
Especially now, Meng Ziyi looks noticeably like she has a round face.
Compared to when she lost weight, her face shape definitely looks different!
Of course, this is not to say that Meng Ziyi is not good now, but that she presents different charms at different times.
"Brother Jingyuan, what brings you to Yanjing all of a sudden?"
Meng Ziyi didn't forget to ask about Chen Jingyuan, which surprised and delighted her.
After resuming their relationship, she asked Yao Yao if she wanted to take advantage of the situation and go to Hengdian.
Considering Dilraba's presence in the cast of "Fighter of the Destiny," the final decision was to wait.
She and Chen Yao had already devised a plan to steal the house, the premise being to avoid Reba.
The only thing I didn't expect was that Chen Jingyuan would appear in Yanjing; he must be determined to seize this opportunity.
"I came to Yanjing for a new variety show."
"It's a collaboration with Hunan TV!"
Chen Jingyuan didn't hide anything and said that the cooperation would be announced soon to generate buzz.
"I see!"
Meng Ziyi's face showed a look of understanding. Although she knew that Chen Jingyuan was definitely not looking for her, she couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
"How have you been lately?!"
Chen Jingyuan couldn't help but feel concerned about Meng Ziyi. Although there was chat on WeChat, not everyone showed their true self online.
"I can eat and sleep well, and there's nothing wrong with me."
Meng Ziyi spoke with a relaxed expression, but her words clearly carried a hint of resentment.
It's a grudge against Rong Xinda; Meng Ziyi is now a junior in college.
Many classmates started going to film crews, but she, who should have debuted much earlier, was held back by Rongxin.
"Otherwise, I'll arrange some resources for you."
Chen Jingyuan was able to voice the resentment in his words, and his words carried a great deal of sincerity.
We've known each other for over two years, and our relationship is better than that of ordinary friends.
It's no big deal to take extra care of her; we've already done it once before.
"No, I won't let Rongxin make money."
"If there are no arrangements by the end of this year, I will terminate the contract."
"Jingyuan-ge, could you spend a few more days with me?!"
Meng Ziyi shook her head and refused this time, but instead made a request!
Chen Jingyuan was slightly taken aback by what he said, seemingly not expecting Meng Ziyi to ask for a request instead of resources.
"Countless people want resources, but all you want is my company."
Chen Jingyuan couldn't help but shake his head and speak softly, his words still tinged with emotion.
In retrospect, Chen Yao was given resources because of a certain relationship, while Dilraba's resources were initially a transaction.
It goes without saying that Chen Keke, Bai Lu, and the others are their own people.
The only exception was when resources were given to Meng Ziyi, which were basically not influenced by many factors.
"Jingyuan-ge, please!?"
Meng Ziyi gripped Chen Jingyuan's arm and shook it slightly, giving off a "I'll cry if you refuse" vibe.
"I should be able to stay in Yanjing for a few days."
After a brief moment of thought, Chen Jingyuan did not refuse and spoke up.
Although he had been to Yanjing several times, there were still many places he hadn't visited.
It's a good time to relax for a few days!
The meaning behind her words was already quite clear: she had agreed, but in the end, she still felt a little soft-hearted.
"Yay!"
Meng Ziyi couldn't help but show a happy expression as she spoke.
Over the next few days, Meng Ziyi took Chen Jingyuan to many places in Yanjing. It turned out that Meng Ziyi had already visited all of them recently.
Because of her early fame, she didn't have many friends at school.
With many of her classmates taking on acting roles during this period, she felt even more lonely.
After that, he traveled alone to many places in Yanjing.
Without hiding anything, I briefly described what had happened in the past few months.
Even Chen Jingyuan silently patted Meng Ziyi's head to offer some words of comfort.
Looking back, I do think I'm partly to blame!
If I hadn't changed Meng Ziyi's trajectory back then, I might have made some friends.
"You could be a tour guide."
Chen Jingyuan glossed over the topic with a few words that were quite sarcastic.
"If I can't afford to eat in the future, I'll become a tour guide."
Meng Ziyi didn't mind and directly retorted, but it was mostly a joke.
The more jokes they exchanged, the more their relationship began to warm up.
They already had a good relationship, but Meng Ziyi was relatively reserved before, and now she's clearly planning to come clean.
Especially when climbing the Great Wall, Meng Ziyi deliberately twisted her ankle so that Chen Jingyuan could carry her.
"Chen Jingyuan, I like you!"
Meng Ziyi suddenly spoke in Chen Jingyuan's ear, her words filled with utmost seriousness.
Chen Jingyuan was taken aback, even though he could sense that Meng Ziyi's affection this time was more intimate than before.
It was obvious that their relationship was starting to change, but I never expected Meng Ziyi to stop pretending!
Chen Jingyuan doesn't consider himself a scumbag; at most, he's a bit of a philanthropist.
He still had some affection for Meng Ziyi; who could resist a beautiful young college student who was completely smitten with him?
Considering Dilraba's presence, he chose to remain silent.
There was neither a refusal nor a promise; let's just leave it at that for now.
There was one thing he was still curious about: what made Meng Ziyi so proactive?
What happened during this short period of time?!
"Brother Jingyuan, if you don't answer, it means you agree."
"6
Meng Ziyi continued her offensive, and it seemed she was pushing her luck.
"Ziyi, you know I have a girlfriend."
Chen Jingyuan finally spoke up, but his words did not sound like a refusal as expected.
"It's okay!"
"Jingyuan, I think that bad woman will leave you sooner or later."
"I just reserved the spot in advance."
Meng Ziyi spoke up without any concern, as she had already made things clear under Chen Yao's guidance.
Since we're not married, none of these problems are a big deal!
Having said all that, Chen Jingyuan naturally had no reason to refuse.
Although Chen Jingyuan felt a little guilty, he ultimately couldn't resist the temptation and acquiesced to the scumbag's behavior.
Anyway, we can always compensate later. For now, let's leave it at that.
In the two days following her confession, Meng Ziyi became even bolder in her actions.
Fortunately, Chen Jingyuan's vacation was over, so his original plan to explore the Mushroom House further was ruined, and he could only take a quick look around.
"Jingyuan-ge, you have to like me a lot!"
Meng Ziyi made no attempt to conceal her passionate feelings, leaving Chen Jingyuan somewhat overwhelmed.
If Meng Ziyi's relationship with Dilraba was a gradual progression, then hers was a passionate, fiery one.
Although Chen Jingyuan was initially taken aback and conflicted, he eventually accepted it.
Chen Jingyuan chose greed in response to Xiao Meng's affection.
From an outsider's perspective, Chen Jingyuan might seem a bit pretentious, perhaps because he lacks experience in being a scumbag for the first time.
Before leaving, Chen Jingyuan specifically asked Meng Ziyi again if she wanted him to make some arrangements for resources.
"No, wait until Rongxin's contract ends."
Meng Ziyi shook her head and said, "It's obvious that she's at odds with Rong Xin."
Chen Jingyuan knew Xiao Meng's temperament; once she made up her mind, she would be quite stubborn.
Without saying much, we'll just wait for Rongxin's contract to end.
If he remembers correctly, the contract termination should be scheduled for next year, it won't make a difference.
The following day, Chen Jingyuan appeared at the Penguin Building in Pengcheng.
Given his current status, he doesn't really need to pay too much attention to "Unrequited Love: Orange Born in Huainan".
But this drama is something that Lan Ke Studio is still paying close attention to.
My mother, Liu Yulan, called quite a few times the past two days to inquire about the situation.
Naturally, Chen Jingyuan had no choice but to personally oversee the operation and have the publicity department put in more effort.
"Mr. Chen, the publicity will be excellent."
"We really dare not neglect the works of Tianhe Studio."
The head of the publicity department saw Chen Jingyuan and spoke up with a forced smile.
Although Chen Jingyuan is not currently affiliated with Tencent Video, this person in charge is not to be underestimated.
Both Penguin Video and Penguin Pictures are headed by President Sun. If President Chen were to complain, the publicity department would be overwhelmed.
"Don't worry, I'll just take a quick look."
Chen Jingyuan waved his hand and said, still appearing kind.
The problem is that the propaganda department dares not be careless, as this person can truly determine their future.
Besides overseeing the promotional activities, Chen Jingyuan also hosted numerous gatherings.
The main purpose was to invite some GG business representatives I knew to express my gratitude and to strengthen our relationships.
There were many product placements in the previous film "Unrequited Love: Orange Born in Huainan", all thanks to these GG companies.
It saved Chen Jingyuan a lot of trouble, so I still need to thank him.
Thanks to the reputation of the Zhenhua Trilogy, it had already made a profit before it even aired.
Time quickly brought us to the Qian route in "Unrequited Love: Orange Born in Huainan".
Besides the previous pre-launch hype, the initial publicity campaign has been running for more than half a month.
The two lead actors, Bai Lu and Liu Haoran, already had considerable popularity, so the promotional effect was quite good.
At least many people are looking forward to Qianying's performance in "Unrequited Love".
Chen Keke from Gangcheng couldn't help but look nervous. She had been paying close attention ever since the promotion of "Unrequited Love: Orange Born in Huainan."
Chen Keke felt a completely different way when she saw stills from her filming appear on Tencent Video.
Or rather, I finally felt like an actor and a star.
After passing the preliminary test, Chen Keke kept looking at her phone, waiting for the results to come out.
There are still more than half a month until the college entrance examination, but Chen Keke's mock exam results have been quite good.
Meeting the minimum admission score for the acting department of the Chinese Academy of Drama was not a problem for Liu Yulan, so she did not impose too many restrictions.
Not only Chen Keke was waiting, but Bai Lu and the others were also waiting.
The chat group for Lan Ke Studio is very lively, with everyone discussing and speculating about how well it will perform.
