Internet moguls are being held hostage by the entertainment system!

Chapter 137 Filming Wrapped Up, Chen Duling's Request
Having successfully acquired 20% of Mobike's angel round shares, Chen Xiu has also begun to act as a strategic planner remotely.

Hu Weiwei often consults him on business issues, as well as bicycle maintenance, station deployment, and other issues that must be considered for future development.

As someone who has personally experienced the development history of bike sharing, Chen Xiu has a lot to say about it.

The two communicated about work via WeChat, and Chen Xiu would also use it to check on Hu Weiwei's work progress.

Finally, in mid-November, Mobike's bicycle factory produced its first bicycle equipped with a smart lock and a positioning system, which is expected to be deployed in Shanghai by the end of the month!

With the preliminary preparations complete and feeling that she no longer needed to keep an eye on things, Chen Xiu stopped communicating with Hu Weiwei.

This internet entrepreneur will have a lot to worry about in the coming month.

He couldn't help with these matters, so he should just disappear and quietly wait for the results.

With the Mobike incident settled, filming for "Love O2O" has officially come to an end. Before the male and female leads, Meng Ziyi, the second female lead, finished filming her scenes earlier.

Actors have no holidays. Sister Meng, who has to rush back to Yongle Film and Television tomorrow to join the next film crew, used all her charm on Chen Xiu tonight.

"Phew~, Brother Xiu, let's go again!"

Looking at Meng Ziyi, who could only move her mouth, Chen Xiu, lying next to her, couldn't help but complain, "What's with all this 'coming'? It's not like we'll never see each other again, why torture yourself like this?"

"Um……"

Meng Ziyi turned over, using her elbow to press Chen Xiu up to support herself, and looked down at him, saying, "The company has arranged a drama for me, and also an important audition. I probably won't be free next month."

Chen Xiu spread her arms and hugged Sister Meng's back to prevent her from falling over.

Looking up at that pretty face so close to his, Chen Xiu suppressed his words of comfort and leaned over to give her a gentle kiss on the corner of her lips.

"I'm not free next month, but we still have January! I'll go back to Changchun with you to see Sister Qian then?"

"Hey, that's a good idea!"

Meng Ziyi nodded with a rosy smile, then, as if she had thought of something, she pouted and gave Chen Xiu a reproachful look.

A little bewildered by that look, Chen Xiu patted the silly beauty: "Why are you looking at me like that? It's like I stole something from you..."

"You stole my things!"

"What did they steal?"

"You stole my mom away!"

"What do you mean by that?"

Meng Ziyi pouted coquettishly, waved her little pink fist, and playfully punched Chen Xiu.

"Do you know what happened? A few days ago, when I was talking to Sister Qian on the phone, she said that it didn't matter whether I went back home for Chinese New Year or not, but I absolutely had to bring you back with me!"

"Oh, is that so?"

Chen Xiu couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Seeing him still laughing, Sister Meng became even more displeased: "You're still laughing, you're still laughing! I don't know what kind of spell you cast on my mother to make her so sympathetic to you."

"You're wronging me!"

Chen Xiu made a ring with her right thumb and forefinger and gently flicked the forehead of the silly beauty: "I don't even have Sister Qian's contact information, so what kind of sweet talk can I give her?"

"Oh my, you even have my contact information."

Meng Ziyi rolled her eyes so wide they could almost see the ceiling: "You have no idea! Ever since the last time the fairy's fans called Sister Qian and you stepped in to make the fairy apologize in person, when Sister Qian calls me, she only asks about your business and not mine."

"Hehe, are you jealous of me?"

The silly beauty's big eye rolls and strange way of speaking were really funny to Chen Xiu.

Being laughed at again, Meng Ziyi, who was only pretending to be angry, actually became a little dissatisfied this time.

"You're still laughing! I... Humph!"

She lightly punched Chen Xiu, then brushed his hand away from her back, flipped over to the other side, and turned her back to him, intending to ignore him.

Knowing she had angered the beauty, Chen Xiu propped herself up with her hands, leaned over and whispered in Meng Ziyi's ear, "Isn't it a good thing that Sister Qian approves of me?"

"Hmm? That's right."

The silly beauty, whose mind had suddenly come to a sudden realization, bumped her head on Chen Xiu's chin without even saying a word.

Both places have thin skin and hard bones, and when they collided, there was only a dull "bang".

Meng Ziyi was the first to cover her head and cry out, "Ouch! What did you use to hit me?"

As soon as she turned her body around, the silly beauty felt her head suddenly stop hurting.

Because Chen Xiu was covering her chin, she couldn't even make a sound...

"that."

Meng Ziyi poked Chen Xiu's hand, which was covering his chin, with a embarrassed look: "Brother Xiu, are you alright?"

"Are you not angry anymore?"

Chen Xiu's voice sounded a little strange, and she didn't let go of the hand covering her chin.

Meng Ziyi waved her hands repeatedly, feeling sad and aggrieved, and said, "Don't be angry anymore, I really didn't mean to just now."

"It's okay, you're just too impatient."

Chen Xiu released her hand from her hand, revealing a chin that was already turning red, indicating that Meng Ziyi's blow had indeed been quite severe.

Seeing that bright red chin, Meng Ziyi's already furrowed brows furrowed even more, and he became even more distressed: "Your chin..."

"It just looks serious, but it will be fine after applying an ice pack."

Under the tutelage of Director Zhao at home, Chen Xiu, who was not very obedient since childhood, naturally learned some simple ways to handle situations.

Sister Meng urged anxiously, "Then go and apply an ice pack now."

"Well, okay."

Chen Xiu had intended to have a heart-to-heart talk with Meng Ziyi, but seeing her so flustered she was almost in tears, she had no choice but to get up and take a can of chilled beer from the hotel suite's refrigerator to apply to her chin. Back in the room, seeing Meng Ziyi still looking worried, Chen Xiu went over and sat down, taking her hand.

"Sister Meng, I'm really fine. It's you who seems a bit too nervous, which is different from your usual behavior."

"I was just worried you'd get hurt."

"You're overreacting. Even if I were really injured, it wouldn't be a big deal. What happened to your head?"

As she spoke, Chen Xiu reached out to examine Meng Ziyi and discovered that there was a small swelling on her head.

"Look at you, you didn't even notice you were injured, but you kept staring at me instead."

Chen Xiu placed the can of beer she was applying to Meng Ziyi's head, held it up for her, and gently comforted her, "Sister Meng, don't be too hasty in the future."

"Oh, I know."

Meng Ziyi pursed her lower lip and nodded, then held up a beer in her hand: "Go get another can and apply it to yourself."

"okay."

Chen Xiu went out again and covered her chin with a can of beer.

When he returned to his room, he saw Sister Meng with a beer bottle on her head and himself covered in beer, and he found the combination both bizarre and funny.

Seeing Chen Xiu's expression, Meng Ziyi, understanding what he was thinking, chuckled.

Hearing her laughter, Chen Xiu also sat back on the bed with a smile on her lips.

He wanted to remind Meng Ziyi again that he should be calm and not rush things in the future.

But thinking that the silly beauty probably wouldn't take his words to heart, Chen Xiu stopped nagging and just thought that she would keep an eye on things for her in the future.

After laughing for a while, Meng Ziyi, feeling that the pain on his head had lessened, took the beer off his head and winked at Chen Xiu.

"Brother Xiu, I'm leaving tomorrow~, shouldn't we hurry up and make the most of our time..."

"Shall we study the knowledge further?"

"Yes, I love studying!"

After saying that, the studious Teacher Meng rushed towards Chen Xiu and pulled him back into the ocean of knowledge.

……

"Cut! OK, this one's passed!"

Upon hearing Lin Yufen's instructions, Chen Xiu, standing in front of the camera, forced a smile.

After three months, his scenes in "Love O2O" have finally wrapped up.

Turning to look at the somewhat dejected Chen Duling, Chen Xiu took the initiative to walk over to her and extended her hand: "It was a pleasure working with you. Thank you for your cooperation over the past three months."

Chen Duling's gaze moved upwards from Chen Xiu's outstretched hand, her eyes settling on his polite smile, and she frowned slightly.

"Chen Xiu, we've known each other for so long, shouldn't we be considered friends?"

"Yeah, of course."

"Then why have you always treated me with such an official attitude?"

"can you?"

Chen Xiu smoothed his lips, and to avoid being noticed by others, he silently lowered his raised hand.

Noticing his hesitation, Chen Duling turned her head and gestured towards the outside of the film set: "Let's talk later! Even if you don't come, I still want to talk to you."

"also."

Chen Xiu nodded silently, and then took a group photo with Chen Duling and the rest of the crew to mark the end of filming.

After settling everything, the two went to another place to chat privately.

Looking at the pure and innocent college girl in front of her, Chen Xiu raised her hand and said, "Surely I don't have to repeat what I just said?"

"Need not."

Chen Duling shook her head, and the stubbornness that Chen Xiu had shown when they first met reappeared on her face.

“Let’s get back to the topic we were just discussing. I feel like you don’t really consider me a friend.”

"Am I being impolite to you?"

“You are very polite to everyone, and you are very polite to the meaning of words… I won’t take her as an example, but your feelings towards Wei Feng and Xiong Ben are the kind of friendship we have, but I don’t have that kind of feeling towards you.”

"That's a strange way of putting it, but I can't treat you the way I treat Xiao Feng and Da Xiong!"

Chen Xiu spread his hands and said that he, Wei Feng, and Xiong Ben often went to the gym to work out, and occasionally they would have beer and barbecue, things that Chen Duling definitely couldn't do.

"I never intended to treat you like a brother."

A look of speechlessness crossed Chen Duling's face before she told Chen Xiu her request: "From now on, we can chat on WeChat like normal friends and play games together, what do you think?"

"I'm usually very busy."

"It doesn't need to be too frequent! Just chat occasionally. Most of your friends are from work, you probably don't have many friends in your personal life, right?"

"Not many indeed."

Chen Xiu nodded, feeling that she really didn't have any friends in her life. Su Xiao and Su Yu were like family, whom she had grown up with.

"That's right. Given the relationship between our two families, you wouldn't just see me as an ordinary friend from the film and television industry, would you?" Chen Duling said, tilting her head.

She is still unsure of her own feelings and would never do anything to undermine Meng Ziyi, so it's best for her to remain friends with Chen Xiu for now.

Looking into her bright, sparkling eyes, Chen Xiu felt that defining their relationship in this way wasn't inappropriate.

"OK, let's play games together sometime when we're free!"
