Internet moguls are being held hostage by the entertainment system!

Chapter 311 You should be addressed by your job title!

Seeing Wang Yizhi walk over and fix her gaze on her, Chen Xiu couldn't help but feel a headache coming on.

What he fears most is dealing with these unconventional strangers who like to engage in awkward small talk and pretend to be familiar with him.

Wang Yizhi was able to directly address Teacher Tie as Lao Yu, but then she called the proprietress of Jingdong "Xiao Tian".

Both of these individuals are investors in NIO.

Based on these two forms of address, Chen Xiu felt that she probably wouldn't get any more formal titles from her.

Sure enough, as soon as Wang Yizhi arrived, before she could even put her feet down properly, she was greeted by a call.

Hello, hello, everyone.

Wang Yizhi sat down next to Chen Xiu without any hesitation, then handed him the microphone and walked around, indicating that he should talk to Lei Jun.

Facing the camera, Chen Xiu and Lei Jun could only force a smile and greet each other.

"Hello, I'm Chen Xiu."

"Hello everyone, I'm Lei Jun."

As expected, Wang Yizhi said after the opening move: "Hehe, one of you is surnamed Chen and the other is surnamed Lei, so can I call you Little Chen and Old Lei?"

"please do not!"

Chen Xiu looked at the camera with a resistant expression, then turned to look at Lei Jun next to her and joked, "With this title, it sounds like I'm a generation younger than Mr. Lei. Does he have to give me red envelopes during holidays?"

"Hehehe, that won't do, I can't be Mr. Chen's elder."

Lei Jun responded with an awkward laugh, completely ignoring the topic.

The two of them were exchanging words, which immediately froze Wang Yizhi's self-proclaimed enthusiastic smile on her face.

There was a two-second pause before she realized what was happening and hurriedly tried to salvage the situation.

"That's right. How about I call you Chen Xiu?"

"You can call each other whatever you want in private, but today's press conference is a rather formal occasion, so it would be more appropriate for us to address each other by our job titles."

Chen Xiu calmly corrected Wang Yizhi, and Lei Jun immediately echoed her.

"Yes! I think so too."

"Hehe, then I'll call you General Manager Chen and General Manager Lei."

In a product launch event, Wang Yizhi, who is supposed to represent the Weilai brand, spoke so carelessly. It's hard to believe how she's managed to be a professional host all these years.

Hearing that the other party had changed their form of address, Chen Xiu didn't dwell on it too much: "Of course, may I ask for your guidance?"

"hehe."

Wang Yizhi continued to laugh awkwardly, but this time she came to find Chen Xiu not just to have a few awkward words.

"We all know that Mr. Chen is not only an outstanding entrepreneur and investor, but also a successful actor and star. Would you consider becoming the brand ambassador for Weilai in the future?"

"I don't drive, so how can I take the position?"

Chen Xiu smiled and asked in return.

However, whether Wang Yizhi was genuinely clueless or pretending not to understand Chen Xiu's polite refusal, she actually pressed for more information.

"Don't you drive? How do you usually get around?"

"I have a driver, Mr. Lei, do you drive?"

In order to avoid dealing with this oddball alone, Chen Xiu had no choice but to bring in Lei Bus.

Lei Jun gave him a reproachful look and said, "I rarely drive. Usually, the driver is responsible for getting around. I can also do some work in the car."

"So, if you want us to be your spokespeople, the driver might have to make an appearance too..."

Chen Xiu still expressed her polite refusal with humor.

Wang Yizhi laughed awkwardly, and her fidgeting feet began to move restlessly.

The other person came over to talk to her on their own, so if Wang Yizhi didn't say she was leaving, Chen Xiu couldn't very well ask her to leave.

The two sat there awkwardly, with Lei Jun standing to the side, unsure of what to say.

Just when Chen Xiu thought that no matter how shameless Wang Yizhi was, she would eventually leave as long as she didn't keep bringing up topics, an unexpected topic suddenly came out of Wang Yizhi's mouth.

"Mr. Chen, I heard from Li Bin that he met someone who looked very much like Zhang when he visited your home last time..."

“He came to my house last time to solicit investment.”

Chen Xiu interrupted Wang Yizhi with an unchanged smile, thinking to herself: Where did this host graduate from? She dares to say anything! She's so unprofessional!
Although Wang Yizhi didn't finish her sentence, he could roughly guess what was going to happen next from the beginning. It was nothing more than saying that Chen Duling looked a lot like Xiao Tian from before...

If she were to say those words, the misunderstanding and the resulting news would be quite serious.

Thinking of this, Chen Xiu dared not continue the conversation with Wang Yizhi.

“Mr. Li came to my house last time to introduce NIO to me. I had a meal with him and we had a very pleasant conversation. Afterwards, I decided to invest in NIO. Is that right, Ms. Wang?”

Sensing the sudden chill in Chen Xiu's tone, Wang Yizhi finally realized she had said the wrong thing and could only nod repeatedly.

"Yeah."

"If I have the chance next time, can I come to your house for a meal?" "Sure, sure."

"Thank you."

If Wang Yizhi still doesn't understand what this means, then she has truly wasted all these years of her life.

"Mr. Chen, Mr. Lei, the press conference is still going on, so I'll be leaving now."

Watching Wang Yizhi awkwardly apologize and leave, Chen Xiu and Lei Bus also smiled and nodded in acknowledgment.

After everyone had walked away, Chen Xiu suddenly felt a noise beside her, and then heard Lei Bus say, "President Chen, she just said that she met someone at your house who looked a lot like what?

"It's nothing, I've forgotten about it."

Chen Xiu gave a vague reply, indicating that she didn't want to talk about it.

Seeing this, Lei Bus was curious, but he didn't dare to ask any more questions.

The press conference was essentially just Li Bin bragging on stage, showcasing the car's performance and features, and casually describing NIO's future.

There wasn't anything particularly memorable about the whole thing; it was even less impressive than Wang Yizhi's awkward interview...

After finally getting through the press conference and as everyone was leaving, Chen Xiu received a message from Wei Feng in the VIP passage.

"Boss, Huayi is going to smear you, and the long post is already written!"

……

Chairman's Office, Datang Pictures.

Chen Xiu, who was rushing back from Wukesong Stadium, had Wei Feng come and wait for her halfway there.

When he pushed the door open and came in, Wei Feng had already printed out the short essay that Hua Yi had carefully prepared.

Chen Xiu reached out and took it, her gaze lowered, and she quickly glanced at the title.

"A detailed list of the ambiguous relationships that young wealthy celebrity Chen Xiu has had since his debut!"

Wow, that's an eye-catching title that's sure to keep you reading.

Chen Xiu raised her hand to signal Wei Feng to be quiet, then took an A4 sheet of paper, staring at the dense text below the title, and slowly walked around the sofa in the office.

"According to the latest Forbes Rich List, Chen Xiu ranks 30th, which is undoubtedly a remarkable achievement for a young person under 30..."

Is starting with flattery a ploy to praise first and then criticize later?
Chen Xiu thought to herself, then quickly skipped the part about praising others. In that instant, a third of the essay was gone.

Only when we get to the middle section does this "dirt" start to become a little more interesting.

"Listing Chen Xiu's works since her debut, they are: My Sunshine, Diamond Lover, Love O2O, and Qin King's Battle Song."

"Among them, he played a supporting role in 'My Sunshine' with few scenes, so we won't discuss it for now; 'Diamond Lover' was Chen Xiu's first major role, through which he met Dilraba, and then Dilraba terminated her contract with Jaywalk Studio and switched to Datang Pictures."

"When filming 'Love O2O,' the original female lead suddenly withdrew from the role for some reason. Chen Xiu, as the male lead, actually recommended Chen Duling to the director. It is conceivable that they must have known each other for a long time."

"As a self-produced drama by Datang Pictures, Chen Xiu did not choose anyone else to play the female lead in 'Qin Wang Po Zhen Qu'. Instead, she chose Meng Ziyi, who had just joined Datang Pictures at that time."

"From Reba to Chen Duling, and then to Meng Ziyi, who is Chen Xiu's true love? It's worth mentioning that the female lead and supporting actress in the newly released movie 'Better Days' are also artists from Datang Pictures, and they are all newcomers..."

The following content consists of various speculations and conjectures, even implying that all the female artists joining Datang Film Industry were actually part of Chen Xiu's beauty pageant.

Chen Xiu stopped, clutching the A4 paper, and remained silent for a long time.

Seeing Chen Xiu's darkening expression, Wei Feng didn't know what to say when a sneer suddenly came from Chen Xiu's mouth.

"Hehe, hahaha! What a wonderful article! Who was in charge of this little essay at Huayi?"

"Um, I heard from people on Weibo that the head of Huayi's public relations department seems to be surnamed Zhang..."

"He was trying to avoid offending either side, completing the task assigned by Wang Zhonglei as much as possible, but he didn't dare to completely offend me. So he wrote some unfounded things to create gossip, which was moderately insulting and had zero harmfulness."

"People on Weibo say Huayi spent money, and this little essay will be the top trending topic tonight."

At Chen Xiu's level, and given his background in the internet industry, people in the circle generally give him some leeway. As for Toutiao, it goes without saying that any news that is unfavorable to him will be treated specially.

On Weibo, if there's any bad news, they'll give you a heads-up in advance so you can prepare accordingly.

Of course, you should still send it, since they make a living from this, and giving you a heads-up is already a sign of goodwill.

Wei Feng contacted Chen Xiu in a hurry because he received a message on Weibo.

"Send it! It doesn't matter."

Chen Xiu casually put the paper back on the coffee table, sat down and said, "However, we do lack a public relations talent like this."

"Boss, are you looking to hire a head of public relations?"

Chen Xiu shook her head, then glanced at the A4 paper.

“Let’s just dig! Make an appointment with this person in charge surnamed Zhang tomorrow, see what he thinks, and also find out what packages Huayi has prepared for me, so we can give a targeted return gift.”

"Would he?"

"It's just a job, what difference does it make who I work for? The essays he's in charge of have a third of them praising me, which is obviously a way of currying favor. This kind of person is smart; he knows who he'll be more successful working for. You should think about how to get a date with him."

"clear."
