An Shishi felt very disappointed.
However, she quickly adjusted her mood and typed: Congratulations, hubby. Another school beauty from Jiaotong University falls for you. Don’t forget your old love now that you have a new one.
Xu Xiuwen replied: What new or old love? Stop talking nonsense and overthinking, or the next ti we et, I’ll spank you hard.
An Shishi read the ssage and thought about the sensation of Xu Xiuwen spanking her.
Her body went weak, and her face started to heat up.
Doing that kind of thing with Xu Xiuwen was really pleasurable.
Every ti, she felt like she was about to die.
Yet, she always survived.
That kind of feeling, once experienced, could never be forgotten.
After chatting for a while, Xu Xiuwen ended the conversation, “Alright, let’s stop chatting for now.”
An Shishi felt a bit unsatisfied.
She finally asked, “Hubby, can I co to see you tonight?”
“Tonight might not work, I have a dinner party.”
An Shishi’s interest was piqued, “Hubby, what kind of dinner party? Can you take with you? I promise to be good and not cause any trouble.”
She thought Xu Xiuwen wouldn’t refuse.
However, Xu Xiuwen replied: “It’s not suitable for you to co to tonight’s dinner. Maybe next ti.”
“Alright then.”
After sending the ssage, An Shishi stared at Xu Xiuwen’s last text.
She couldn’t help but wonder, what kind of event was it that she wasn’t suitable to attend? Would Cheng Lu be there?
Just then, Cheng Lu ca out of the bathroom after taking a shower.
An Shishi was about to ask.
But Song Siyu spoke first, “Cheng Lu, you didn’t co back all night, and now you’re taking a shower right after you get back. Where were you last night?”
An Shishi knew the answer.
But she stayed silent, watching Cheng Lu quietly.
Curious about what her answer would be.
Cheng Lu was toweling off the water from her hair when she heard Song Siyu’s question and was a bit surprised.
She paused for a mont, then said, “I went to see soone last night.”
Song Siyu’s interest was piqued, and she asked, “Cheng Lu, who did you go to see last night?”
Even Xiao Youran turned her attention to Cheng Lu.
Under the gaze of her three roommates, Cheng Lu calmly said, “I went to see my boyfriend.”
“What!” Song Siyu’s eyes widened.
Xiao Youran’s mouth also dropped open.
An Shishi was also surprised.
She hadn’t expected Cheng Lu to admit it, let alone say it so directly.
Could she be planning to tell them about her relationship with Xu Xiuwen?
An Shishi couldn’t help but feel a bit of anticipation.
What would Xiao Youran, Xu Xiuwen’s childhood friend, think if she knew her childhood friend was now dating her roommate?
The thought itself was exciting.
Song Siyu, recovering from her shock, asked incredulously, “Cheng Lu, you have a boyfriend? Who is it? Do I know him?”
Cheng Lu continued drying her hair, “I won’t tell you who it is, but you know him.”
“I know him too?”
The fact that Cheng Lu had a boyfriend was already unbelievable.
Now Cheng Lu was telling her it was soone she knew, which left Song Siyu utterly astonished.
She recalled the boys they t last sester, wondering who Cheng Lu could be dating.
But she couldn’t think of anyone.
Cheng Lu was always cold and indifferent, never showing any interest in any boys.
She didn’t seem close to any of them either.
She couldn’t guess who Cheng Lu was with.
Then, Song Siyu thought of sothing else.
Cheng Lu had gone to see her boyfriend and stayed out all night.
Did that an they spent the night together?
Song Siyu couldn’t help but ask, “Cheng Lu, did you spend the night with your boyfriend?”
She asked this very carefully.
But everyone in Room 301, including Cheng Lu, imdiately understood her aning.
Cheng Lu could have chosen not to answer, but she did.
Cheng Lu nodded.
Song Siyu couldn’t believe it.
She wondered if she was still dreaming and turned to look at Xiao Youran, who had the sa expression as her.
The dorm room suddenly beca very quiet.
At this mont, An Shishi suddenly asked, “Cheng Lu, do you have a dinner party tonight?”
Cheng Lu turned her head and asked, “No, what’s up?”
Hearing Cheng Lu say no, An Shishi’s mood imdiately lifted.
It seed that Xu Xiuwen didn’t take her to the dinner party because of Cheng Lu.
She shook her head, “Nothing, I was just asking.”
Song Siyu, hearing An Shishi ntion the dinner party, suddenly had an idea.
She took the initiative to ask, “Cheng Lu, Youran, and Shishi, are you free tonight? I see that other dorms often go out for dinner together. If you’re free, let’s have dinner together tonight.”
An Shishi nodded in agreent.
Xiao Youran also said, “Sure.”
Only Cheng Lu was left.
Given Cheng Lu’s personality, it was hard to say whether she would agree or not.
The three girls all looked at her.
But this ti, Cheng Lu didn’t refuse.
She nodded and said, “Okay, I don’t mind.”
Song Siyu breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, “Then it’s decided. I’ll ask the other dorms where they usually go for dinner and let you know.”
…
After finishing her conversation with An Shishi.
Xu Xiuwen thought for a mont and sent a text ssage to Xu Qian, informing her that the company had a dinner party tonight and asking her to notify the others.
Then Xu Xiuwen lay on the sofa for a while and watched so TV.
Soon, it was noon.
At noon, Xu Xiuwen cooked his own al.
After a simple lunch, he went back to the bedroom for a nap.
It was rare for him to have so leisure ti.
He slept until three in the afternoon before waking up.
He glanced at his phone; it was ti to get ready for the dinner party tonight.
Tonight’s dinner party was suggested and organized by Hang Fei.
Hang Fei hadn’t been idle recently.
He was planning the second TV series and had almost finished the preparations. Hang Fei wanted to organize a eting to brief everyone.
Xu Xiuwen naturally didn’t oppose it.
Although he wasn’t short of money now, if the distillery went well, he would soon be short of funds.
So, the faster the TV series was made, the better.
Therefore, when Hang Fei ntioned it to him, he imdiately agreed.
But since Hang Fei called him yesterday while he was in Guangming City, Hang Fei postponed the dinner to tonight.
Xu Xiuwen got up, washed up, changed into appropriate clothes, and left for the restaurant Hang Fei had booked.
But before heading to the restaurant, Xu Xiuwen didn’t forget to swing by Jiangling to pick up Tang Weiwei.
When Xu Xiuwen drove to the north gate of Jiangling, he saw Tang Weiwei standing by the roadside from a distance.
She was wearing the clothes Xu Xiuwen had bought for her.
From a distance, she looked more dazzling than a celebrity.
Xu Xiuwen noticed a few male students around her, seemingly asking for her phone number.
Tang Weiwei wasn’t good at refusing, and the boys weren’t being tactful, so she had a helpless expression on her face.
Xu Xiuwen drove up to the girl and stopped.
Tang Weiwei’s eyes lit up when she saw the car.
Actually, Xu Xiuwen could have just let Tang Weiwei get in the car herself.
But Xu Xiuwen chose to get out, walking over to her.
Xu Xiuwen walked up to Tang Weiwei, ruffled her hair, wrapped his arm around her slim waist, and looked down at her, “I’m late, are you mad?”
Tang Weiwei shook her head.
At this point, Xu Xiuwen turned to the boys and said, “Sorry, she’s taken. Please don’t bother her anymore.”
The boys wisely stepped back.
Seeing this, Xu Xiuwen led Tang Weiwei to the passenger side, opened the door for her, and after she got in, closed the door for her.
After doing all this, Xu Xiuwen walked to the driver’s seat, got in, and drove off, leaving the male students far behind.
Watching Xu Xiuwen take Tang Weiwei away, the boys were all extrely envious.
But thinking about how he was handso, had a BMW, and how they couldn’t compete with him at all, they felt a bit defeated.
Even if they were girls, they would prefer him over themselves.
The boys felt dejected.
In the car.
Xu Xiuwen turned to Tang Weiwei and advised, “Next ti this happens, you should directly tell them you have a boyfriend. Otherwise, they’ll keep bothering you.”
Tang Weiwei blushed when she heard him ntion ‘boyfriend,’ but still nodded obediently.
Seeing this, Xu Xiuwen said no more and focused on driving.
Hang Fei had chosen a restaurant located on Jiaotong East Street.
Jiaotong East Street, along with several adjacent streets, ford a comrcial area.
Jiaotong East Street was the busiest among them, featuring large shopping malls, supermarkets, and a variety of restaurants and eateries of different levels.
The restaurant Hang Fei had booked was called Jinling Restaurant, which was quite famous among the surrounding universities.
The restaurant had both a main dining area and private rooms.
Hang Fei had, of course, booked a large private room.
Xu Xiuwen inford the waiter of their room number.
Then, following the waiter, they arrived at the door of the private room.
The waiter opened the door, and Xu Xiuwen walked in.
Upon entering, Xu Xiuwen saw many familiar faces.
Most of the cast mbers from the first show were present, along with a few seniors recruited by Hang Fei.
Xu Xiuwen greeted everyone one by one.
The group responded enthusiastically.
Xu Xiuwen also introduced Tang Weiwei to everyone.
A few new employees, seeing Tang Weiwei for the first ti, were impressed by her beauty but remained calm.
However, those who had worked with Tang Weiwei in the crew were all wide-eyed.
Hang Fei asked Xu Xiuwen twice if he had made a mistake or was joking.
How could this stunning girl be Tang Weiwei?
Xu Xiuwen found it amusing but didn’t explain.
Hang Fei had no choice but to ask Tang Weiwei her na.
When Tang Weiwei confird she was indeed “Tang Weiwei,” everyone was shocked.
In the crew before, Tang Weiwei had kept a low profile.
Now, after a few months, she had transford into a stunning beauty.
Who would believe it?
Tang Weiwei shyly greeted everyone.
The stunned crowd responded instinctively, but still found it unbelievable.
Even after Tang Weiwei sat down, they were still secretly amazed.
It was close to the scheduled ti.
But none of the new employees Xu Xiuwen had hired had arrived yet.
Xu Xiuwen was about to call and ask when the door to the private room opened again, and the new employees filed in.
Upon entering, Xu Qian imdiately apologized to Xu Xiuwen, “Sorry, Mr. Xu, we were delayed by traffic.”
Xu Xiuwen waved his hand, saying amiably, “It’s fine, you’re not late.”
The six of them entered and took their seats.
Hang Fei had booked a large private room, with a table that could accommodate over thirty people.
Xu Xiuwen sat at the head of the table, with Hang Fei to his right and the crew mbers next to Hang Fei.
Tang Weiwei sat to Xu Xiuwen’s left, followed by the new company employees.
Xu Qian glanced at Tang Weiwei curiously, wondering who she was and what her relationship with Xu Xiuwen was.
Once everyone was seated, they began to order.
Hang Fei asked Xu Xiuwen if he had any preferences, and after receiving a negative response, he ordered so signature dishes.
After the waiter left, Xu Xiuwen and Hang Fei took the opportunity to introduce everyone to each other.
Then, Xu Xiuwen and Hang Fei started discussing the TV series.
As they talked about the series, the others quieted down.
In a few words, Xu Xiuwen and Hang Fei settled on the shooting schedule, budget, and related matters.
Notably, they discussed the casting issue.
Since Xu Xiuwen and Hang Fei had established their own dia company, they needed to be more systematic in their approach.
Regarding casting, Xu Xiuwen and Hang Fei agreed that key roles must be played by actors contracted with their company.
Xu Xiuwen was confident in his novel.
Hang Fei also trusted Xu Xiuwen’s writing and his own directing skills.
Both believed the series would turn out well.
So, regardless of whom they’re promoting, they’re promoting their own company’s employees.
When the drama becos popular and the actors gain fa, it can bring more economic benefits to the company.
As for which actors to sign and what kind of contracts to offer, Xu Xiuwen and Hang Fei aren’t troubled by this.
Firstly, because they run a small company and don’t have abundant resources, they sign actors based on the roles in the TV dramas.
They sign whichever actors are needed for important roles.
If soone is unwilling to sign a contract, they just find soone else.
After all, there are countless girls who want to act.
As for the type of contracts to offer, they adhere to the standard norms within the industry.
The details of these agency contracts are confidential to outsiders, but for insiders like Hang Fei, they can be understood at any ti.
After completing a project, they might sign five or six newcors, sotis without paying a signing fee, just offering a monthly salary or stipend.
Many students eagerly sign these contracts.
For Xu Xiuwen, these salaries or stipends aren’t burdenso.
He has entrusted Hang Fei with the task of recruiting actors, which Hang Fei handles competently.
Apart from TV dramas, Xu Xiuwen has also assigned the task of registering songs.
Previously, whether during military training or stage performances, Xu Xiuwen has sung several songs.
Before having a company, Xu Xiuwen didn’t pay much attention to this.
Now that he has a company, he plans to register all the songs he has sung before, securing the copyrights first.
After finishing the discussion, a restaurant waiter knocked on the door and asked if they could serve the dishes.
Upon receiving confirmation, the waiter began serving the dishes.
The dinner officially began.
At the dinner table, as the CEO of the company, everyone toasted Xu Xiuwen.
However, regardless of who toasted him, he only took small sips.
After everyone had toasted once, they noticed that Xu Xiuwen didn’t want to drink, so they tactfully didn’t toast him again.
