Chapter 246: Chapter 240: Can Netizens Handle This Lineup?
Chen Xixi could see that Lu Wenling and Zhou Jinyuan seed to get along quite well, maybe she was forgiven for joining his brother’s company.
Chen Xixi averted her gaze, no longer saying anything, and looked at her phone which she hadn’t touched for quite so ti, and began dealing with the ssages on WeChat.
Upon arriving at Nanxing Entertainnt Company, the two presidents personally showed her around the company, which quite overwheld her with honor.
At the sa ti, she also drew the envy of everyone in the company.
“Who is she? Both presidents are personally showing her around our company, what a privilege!”
“She’s so pretty, could she be President Lu’s or President Zhou’s girlfriend?”
“What girlfriend? This is Chen Xixi! Don’t you guys know Chen Xixi? She’s pretty famous online right now, known especially for being thrifty. The boss personally accompanying her, it looks like they plan to promote her.”
“Better be careful around her in the future to avoid trouble.”
Zhou Jinyuan was well aware that there were many artists in the entertainnt company who played tricks to compete for resources.
He let Lu Wenling personally guide Chen Xixi around the company, with himself following, solely to signal to the entire company that Chen Xixi was his person…
Although not yet, but eventually she would be.
Anyone who wanted to ss with Chen Xixi would have to consider who stands behind her.
However, Chen Xixi didn’t feel the sa, walking with the bosses truly felt imnsely uncomfortable.
Who understands, my family? Having two big bosses behind her made her feel as if she were walking to her execution!
She hoped the bosses would maintain so boundaries in the future and interact less with the employees.
After the visit, Zhou Jinyuan took a phone call and left first.
Lu Wenling took Chen Xixi to his office.
Lu Wenling asked his secretary to bring a contract, sat opposite Chen Xixi, handed it to her, “I happen to have a variety show here, are you interested?”
“What variety show?” Chen Xixi asked curiously, and then took the contract to read.
“A dating reality show.”
“Dating? I’m not interested in dating right now.” Chen Xixi instantly refused without a second thought.
Still haven’t made enough money, who has ti for dating?
And even though she isn’t a fan-chaser, she knew a bit about the entertainnt industry’s tricks.
No matter what type of idol or star, once they start dating, fans definitely unfollow, lose popularity, and their comrcial value declines, aning she wouldn’t make money.
Lu Wenling: “It records for seven days, five million.”
Chen Xixi imdiately changed her tune: “This relationship could be considered.”
Lu Wenling smiled, patiently explaining, “Going on a dating show doesn’t an you really have to date, you just need to create a convincing couple.”
She could cook, create a ‘couple’… she hadn’t tried that.
Chen Xixi asked puzzledly, “How does that work?”
Lu Wenling: “It’s simple, just make the netizens feel like you and the male Guest are plausible.”
Plausible? Chen Xixi pondered for a mont.
That is to say, among all the male Guests, she just needed to attract at least one, making the fans ship them fervently.
“Got it,” Chen Xixi said, then asked, “What if I don’t create a ‘couple’?”
Lu Wenling: “It would violate the contract, and you would have to pay a penalty.”
“Who are the Guests?” Chen Xixi asked, wanting to determine who would be best to pair with. If possible, she hoped to arrange a mutual performance in advance to avoid any awkwardness.
“Mainly people from your budget-saving variety shows, and a few new guests too.”
“????”
Chen Xixi was stunned.
Isn’t this just a ss?
People who almost fought in a previous show, now they’re supposed to date and create CPs together?
Can the audience even handle this lineup?
Thinking about dating Zheng He or Wan Chen, or Jin Cheng, she felt an inexplicable sense of wanting to have a heart attack, not to ntion the audience.
The audience will probably be blasted into outer space by this!
Chen Xixi, with a puzzled face, said, “Wait, what is the chief director thinking?”
Lu Wenling seriously said, “Maybe… being stubborn, perhaps.”
Even daring to invite soone like Zheng He, a legal expert, isn’t that stubborn?
Then Lu Wenling analyzed, “Probably because you five are strong in variety shows and you are also popular now. The director probably wants to leverage the popularity, so all of you were roped in.”
Chen Xixi: “…” This arrangent really doesn’t care about their well-being.
“Oh right, Jin Cheng will not participate, I just heard he is going to study in Germany. I don’t know what got into him all of a sudden.”
“Indeed, it’s bewildering,” Chen Xixi nodded in agreent, “Once he leaves, who knows when he’ll be back. It might be a decade before we see him again.”
Such a pity, her only connection in high society just left like that.
After Chen Xixi signed the contract, she asked if there was anything else she needed to do. Lu Wenling said there was nothing at the mont, and after the love-thed variety show ended, they would arrange so professional courses for her.
Then they told her to go ho and wait for further notice, and her new agent would contact her in a couple of days.
Having understood her current tasks, Chen Xixi left Nanxing Entertainnt.
She needed to rush ho to share the good news with her parents!
As Chen Xixi was just bringing her suitcase to the front door, she saw a bustling scene.
Her parents, Xu Yichen, and Xu Yichen’s parents were all standing at their yard’s entrance.
Mrs. Xu, with a smiling face, said, “It was all a misunderstanding earlier. Our Yichen was bewitched by that little vixen, that’s why he advised your daughter Xixi to quit her job.
Moreover, our Yichen even found a new job for Xixi and introduced a boyfriend to her—an executive from a big company. Yichen really went through a lot of trouble!”
Father Xu also chid in smilingly, “Yes, yes, our Yichen has been taking good care of your daughter, he even treats your daughter so well. It’s a bit inappropriate, isn’t it, that your daughter caused our Yichen to lose his job…”
Mrs. Xu: “Could you discuss with your Xixi to take down those things on the internet, and then speak a few good words for Yichen so he can go back to work…”
Father Xu pressed further: “We have been neighbors for over a decade; it doesn’t look good to make a scene like this. It’s uncomfortable since we’ll see each other every day, and now the whole village knows about it, which is bad for our Yichen’s reputation… After all, our Yichen has really helped your daughter, you can’t just bite the hand that feeds you, right…”
Chen Xixi, lugging her suitcase, squeezed past Xu Yichen into the yard.
Standing in front of her parents, she looked at Xu Yichen and his family, sneered, and said, “Bite the hand that feeds? Where’s the favor? Are you talking about advising to quit my job and then finding another job as a favor? By that logic, if I beat up your son, and then give him so dical expenses, should you also rember my favor for giving dical money?”
Father Xu, with anger on his face, said, “You! What kind of talk is that? Old Chen, your daughter is being unreasonable! She used to be a nice child, how did she beco like this after spending a few years in the city, even daring to talk like this to us, the elders!”
Mrs. Xu, angered by Chen Xixi’s words, said, “Exactly, we already said it was a misunderstanding, Xu Yichen didn’t an to force your daughter to resign!”
Father Xu, pointing at Chen Xixi’s nose, said, “And now your daughter says in front of us, the old couple, that she wants to beat up our son, look, look what your daughter has turned into!”
Chen Youqing, hearing Father Xu scolding Chen Xixi, imdiately beca unhappy. He pulled Chen Xixi behind him, looked at the Xu family trio, and said coldly, “We only believe our own daughter. Even if she really beats your son one day, it would surely be because your son deserved it!”
After saying this, he slamd the door with a “bang,” shutting the Xu family outside.
Father Xu was quick to withdraw his hands, otherwise his fingers might have been pinched in the door.
