Chapter 150 Mother Meng's Teachings on the Meaning of the Character "Meng"
Changchun, Longjia Airport.

When she saw her daughter walking towards her, Wang Qian smiled lovingly.

However, when she realized that Meng Ziyi had returned alone, she immediately put on a stern face, and her tone of voice became disdainful.

"What's wrong? Did you have a fight with Xiao Chen?"

"No, there was no argument."

Meng waved his hand hesitantly, but dared not meet Wang Qian's eyes.

To avoid being questioned further, she hesitated for a moment, and even resorted to the "clingy and coquettish" tactic of hugging Wang Qian.

"Sister Qian, I came back because I missed you. Why didn't you ask about your precious daughter? You only asked about others?"

"Stop coming!"

Wang Qian slapped Meng Ziyi away with disdain and complained, "It's nothing, you'll miss me? Then tell me, when was the last time you missed me?"

"Uh, this."

Meng Ziyi's eyes darted around, and he mumbled for a long time, but couldn't come up with an answer.

Out of tacit understanding between mother and daughter, Wang Qian didn't dwell on the topic too much after rolling her eyes.

"Alright, stop thinking about me. Tell me why you and Xiao Chen had that argument."

“I didn’t argue with him… um, let’s talk in the car.”

After receiving a glare that suppressed his bloodline, Meng Ziyi honestly chose to confess and receive leniency.

Wang Qian let Meng Ziyi sit in the passenger seat and asked her to explain the situation to her step by step.

After a brief but heavily embellished account, Meng Ziyi looked at her mother, who was staring straight ahead, and said with a pout, "Sister Qian, do you think this isn't my fault? Who could believe such an outrageous situation!"

Wang Qian glanced sideways at Meng Ziyi without moving her neck: "I believe you."

"No, why do you believe it? If Sister Xiaoxiao hadn't told me all this, I wouldn't have believed it either!"

Meng Ziyi pouted and frowned, staring at Wang Qian with displeasure. She felt that Wang Qian was leaning too far outward and that her heart was biased towards Chen Xiu.

Wang Qian explained, "Some things may sound absurd, but they are true. If you disagree, let me ask you something else, and you can think about it carefully."

"Well, you ask."

"If we assume for a moment that Xiao Chen really has someone else outside, do you think, given his intelligence, he would bring her home so you would find out?"

After speaking, Wang Qian turned her gaze away from the almost straight highway ahead and quickly glanced at her silly daughter.

The meaning couldn't be clearer: you still need to practice!
Meng Ziyi didn't realize that Wang Qian's words also implied that she wasn't very bright; she was currently trying to figure out the logic behind the whole thing.

After carefully considering her mother's words and combining them with what Su Xiao had just said to her, the silly beauty Sister Meng finally believed that Chen Xiu hadn't stolen the food.

"Huh? Then I must have misunderstood Brother Xiu?"

"Oh dear, my..."

Wang Qian, who finally managed to get some useful information out of her daughter, almost couldn't help but swear.

She continued driving, then glanced at Meng Ziyi and said, "Be honest and tell me everything. What did you do to Xiao Chen? Tell me now, and I'll think about how to fix it!"

"What can I do for him! I..."

Meng Ziyi, who was getting a little nervous because of her mother, was about to explain when her phone rang.

She hurriedly pulled out her phone, glanced at the screen, and sighed with some disappointment: "It's the company boss calling. He's probably asking about my audition results, whether I'll accept the role or not."

"Go ahead and answer! What's wrong with your audition?"

Wang Qian, who received too many unexpected messages today, inevitably spoke in a loud and boisterous manner.

Having grown accustomed to her way of speaking, Meng Ziyi didn't bother to explain. Instead, she answered the phone, turned on speakerphone, and prepared to explain the situation through the conversation.

"Hello, Mr. Cheng, I'm sorry, I suddenly felt a little unwell, so I went home..."

"It's alright, Xiao Meng, you should rest at home and don't rush back to work!"

"what?"

Meng Ziyi was quite surprised by Cheng Lidong's tone on the phone.

She thought that her performance at the audition at Huace would at least make the boss unhappy, if not anger him.

But what's with this soft-spoken tone?
Before Meng Ziyi could ask, Cheng Lidong, who had already been greeted, started talking to her about something else.

"Xiao Meng, that audition with Huace Pictures..."

"Mr. Cheng, I didn't perform very well in that audition."

"What I'm telling you is that you've passed the audition, and the role of Mu Nianci has been confirmed for you."

"Huh?! That's how it works?"

Meng Ziyi replied blankly that she was just a little slow to think about certain things, but she wasn't stupid.

She auditioned at Huace Film Studio in the morning. Director Jiang Jiajun was not satisfied, but Meng Ziyi noticed it all. At that time, Meng Ziyi just wanted to know about Chen Xiu's situation as soon as possible, and she didn't care about the audition.

In this situation, how could you possibly get a role?
Upon hearing Meng Ziyi's question over the phone, Cheng Lidong naturally knew how to help someone get on their good side. "Oh dear! Speaking of which, it's all thanks to President Chen."

"You mean, Xiu... Chen Xiu?"

Feeling it was inappropriate to use a nickname when talking to Cheng Lidong on the phone, Meng Ziyi started using the formal form of address directly.

"Yes! After Mr. Chen learned that you were not feeling well and that it was affecting your audition performance, he first called me to explain the situation to prevent me from overthinking it. Then he personally called Mr. Huace, which is how you successfully landed the role."

Meng Ziyi stared blankly with wide eyes, completely ignoring what Cheng Lidong said next.

It wasn't until Wang Qian reached out and patted Meng Ziyi that she snapped out of her daze: "Huh? What's wrong?"

"Xiao Meng, I suggest you rest at home for a while. It would be best if you could read the original novel to find inspiration for your role. Hua Ce's remake of 'The Legend of the Condor Heroes' uses mostly new actors. Filming will start after the Spring Festival!"

"Oh, alright."

After hanging up the phone, an eerie silence fell over the car.

Meng Ziyi, holding her phone, glanced at Wang Qian, who was driving, only to meet her teasing gaze.

"Sister Qian, concentrate on driving, don't keep looking at me!"

“I have a mirror here so I can see you while I’m driving.”

Why are you looking at me if there's nothing wrong?

"Look how embarrassed you are."

The mother and daughter never held back in their conversations, but Wang Qian's words carried a hint of complaint.

The reason for this is that after the last time a female fan harassed Wang Qian by phone, she was completely satisfied with Chen Xiu, her "predetermined son-in-law," and liked him very much.

Now that Meng Ziyi has suddenly gotten into a conflict with the other party, and it's a conflict stemming from a misunderstanding, Wang Qian certainly can't just ignore it and let it develop unchecked.

She felt it was necessary to teach her simple-minded daughter how to get along with Chen Xiu.

In response to Wang Qian's complaints, the incredibly oblivious Sister Meng simply pursed her lips and said, "Brother Xiu helped me get the role, doesn't that mean he's not angry with me? Why should I feel awkward?"

"That's because Xiao Chen is emotionally stable, mature, and likes you! But you can't take advantage of this affection to keep acting up. Next time this happens, you must stay calm."

"Why is there a next time?"

"I'm just giving you a heads-up..."

Wang Qian looked somewhat sullen. As a seasoned veteran, she knew all too well how great the temptations Chen Xiu faced were.

However, Chen Xiu's care and affection for Meng Ziyi were fully seen by her.

Therefore, Wang Qian did not intend to let her daughter back down, but planned to personally help her come up with a solution: "Xiao Yi, next time you encounter this situation, you must not make a fuss again."

"Oh……"

"Even if you want to throw a tantrum, you have to do it when you're alone with Xiao Chen. If a man doesn't like you, crying, making a scene, or even threatening suicide won't work. If he does like you, he'll find a way to coax you even if you don't cry or make a scene, understand?"

"Oh……"

Meng Ziyi nodded with clear eyes, it was unclear how much of what he said had actually been taken to heart.

Looking at her daughter's innocent appearance, Wang Qian smacked her lips and thought to herself: I should really discipline her properly during this time!

……

On the other side, Chen Xiu, who had barely managed to salvage the situation today, was sitting in his study with a dazed expression.

At that moment, the familiar yet unbearably annoying synthesized electronic voice appeared in his mind.

[The initial mission has been successfully completed, and rewards have been distributed! A new mission is now being issued.]

[Leadership Mission: Based on the rewards from the previous mission, produce a TV series that needs to be broadcast on domestic websites and television stations, and then sold overseas!]

[Mission Time Limit: Two Years!]

[Mission Reward: Accepting this mission will grant you Director skill mastery; completing it will grant you the "Auspicious and Inauspicious Constitution." (Note: The Auspicious and Inauspicious Constitution can prevent the host from being affected by factors such as bad luck, illness, disasters, and accidents.)]

Chen Xiu, who had initially intended to refuse the task, couldn't help but fall into deep thought upon seeing the reward.

Given his current situation, as long as he doesn't do anything reckless and keeps a low profile, the only thing that can take him away is death itself.

If one possessed this constitution that could attract good fortune and ward off evil, then the only name left for the Grim Reaper would be time.

Wow, that's very appealing.

Then, the task, to put it simply, is to film the story of Li Shimin. With the experience of previous film and television productions, plus the directing skills that can be obtained by taking on the task, the production aspect is definitely not a problem.

With Tencent's endorsement and the quality assurance of the TV series, there shouldn't be any major problems with its broadcast on domestic websites and TV stations. The key is to sell it overseas.

Xiao Rizi has always had a kind of yearning and admiration for the Tang Dynasty, and could sell it to them at a high price; selling it to Netflix would also be fine...

Completing this task in two years is not particularly difficult.

Moreover, judging from the rewards of previous physical fitness enhancements, this time the "Auspicious Fortune and Inauspicious Misfortune Avoidance" physical fitness enhancement should not restrict activities like the life experience enhancement.

After weighing the pros and cons, and feeling that he was still reluctant to leave the entertainment industry, and also wanting to play the role of Li Erfeng in real life, Chen Xiu finally accepted the task.
