Chapter 479 Chen Xiu Invites People to Peach Blossom Village
After visiting SpaceX, Chen Xiu set off to return to China a few days later.

When the plane landed at Beijing Capital International Airport, he let out a long sigh of relief, looking relaxed but also a little wistful.

The trip to the United States went very smoothly, with no major changes except for the attempt by OpenAI and Microsoft to remove him from the program.

Looking back on the arrangements made before departure, Chen Xiu realized she had been a bit too sensitive...

However, when it comes to personal safety, you can never be too careful.

After leaving the airport and returning home, Chen Xiu immediately went to her bedroom and began to adjust to the time difference.

When he woke up again, his phone was flooded with unread messages.

Upon opening the page, the job information is mostly just informational and doesn't require much approval.

Su Xiao also said that there was nothing going on at the company at the moment, and told him to take a couple of days off.

The remaining information from the investment community is all asking him if he wants to invest in aerospace...

Business matters are fine, and personal matters are also going well.

The messages sent by Meng Ziyi, Reba, Tian Xinwei, and Nezha all described the changes in Peach Blossom Village during this period, as well as their interactions with their new friends.

Wang Chuanjun, who has a withdrawn personality, seemed to come alive after several rounds of collaboration and performances.

Although Meng Ziyi and Song Dandan had a quarrel, they quickly made up and even started calling each other "Mom Dandan"... which is very much in line with her personality.

The comedic talents of Guo Qilin, Li Xueqin, and Lamu Yangzi also added a lot of laughs to the show.

All this information combined conveyed the same thought to Chen Xiu: When are you going to come and take a look?
Thinking about the promise she made to Meng Ziyi before setting off, Chen Xiu began to ponder how she should visit Peach Blossom Village.

Go straight over?

Of course you can, but it will always cause some unnecessary trouble and speculation, so you still need to find a way to cover it up.

Chen Xiu pondered for a while, then found the WeChat account of Sun Zhonghuai, the head of Tencent Video, and sent him a message.

"Mr. Sun, do you have some time these next couple of days?"

Less than a minute later, Sun Zhonghuai's reply arrived.

"I'm free today and tomorrow, Mr. Chen. Have you returned from California?"

"I just got back. I'm personally preparing a film that I'd like to collaborate with Tencent on. Can we meet somewhere to discuss it in detail?"

"Sure! I'll come find you at Datang Film Studio?"

"Let's go somewhere less formal! Isn't Peach Blossom Village almost finished filming? How about we go there as guests and chat about something?"

Such an invitation seems somewhat deliberate.

However, even if everyone knows what's going on with this kind of cover-up, the superficial work still has to be done.

If Chen Xiu were to suddenly visit Peach Blossom Village alone, it would seem very abrupt and create a strong sense of contrast, making it difficult for others not to be suspicious.

As the producer and chief producer of the Peach Blossom Village program, Sun Zhonghuai was invited by Chen Xiu to accompany her to Peach Blossom Village as a guest, which was barely acceptable in theory...

As for whether Sun Zhonghuai would overthink it, that's even less important, because Chen Xiu really wanted to discuss cooperation with him.

However, this message kept Sun Zhonghuai pinned down for several minutes before he finally received a reply.

"Should we communicate with the production team beforehand if we're going to be guests at Peach Blossom Village?"

"Just mention it briefly, there's no need to make it too deliberate."

"You mean we'll just go there as guests, check on the construction progress of Peach Blossom Village, and then leave?"

"Well, that's pretty much it."

With so many cameras following them, Chen Xiu felt she couldn't stay overnight.

Having understood the meaning, Sun Zhonghuai knew how to make arrangements.

"OK, I'll talk to the production team later and add a guest appearance segment to tomorrow's filming. Everything else will remain the same."

"Thank you for your help, Mr. Sun."

"This is a program that our two companies are collaborating on. Mr. Chen is willing to be a guest to attract viewers, and of course I am happy to cooperate."

Upon seeing this reply, Chen Xiu made another appointment with Sun Zhonghuai to depart the next day.

After finalizing the details, he hesitated for a moment, but still sent Meng Ziyi a notification message, not wanting the surprise to turn into a shock.

……

Meng Ziyi, who was focused on building Taohuawu, didn't pay much attention to the beeping sound of her phone.

"Sister Meng, your phone is ringing."

Zhou Ye reminded her that she and Meng Ziyi were in the same group, jointly responsible for building the fitness facilities in Taohuawu Community.

Meng Ziyi, who was installing and securing the archery target, glanced back at his phone and said, "I'm busy right now. Coconut, could you hold it for me for a moment?"

"it is good."

Zhou Ye picked up the phone from the work table, walked over and handed it to Meng Ziyi.

The moment Meng Ziyi took the phone and unlocked it with facial recognition, his eyes widened in shock as he stared blankly at the screen.

Zhou Ye was startled by her reaction and leaned closer to whisper, "Sister Meng, are you alright?"

"it's okay no problem."

Meng Ziyi stared wide-eyed and shook her head. The phone was pressed tightly against her chest, as if it contained some unspeakable secret, and was covered up tightly.

Zhou Ye's eyebrows twitched. He turned to the side, blocking the camera, and whispered, "We're still recording a show!"

"Oh, I'll talk to them later and ask them to cut this scene."

The character "孟" (Meng) is written with a sweeping gesture, displaying a grand and magnanimous style.

Zhou Ye pursed his lips, feeling envious inside, but urging her on verbally.

"Whose information is this?"

"Oh well, it's none of your business anyway, don't ask..."

Meng Ziyi's thoughts are always written on his face, he can't hide them.

Her attempt to cover up her true identity only further confirmed the sender's identity in Zhou Ye's eyes.

Looking at Meng Ziyi, who had a silly grin on her face as if she had been injected with chicken blood, Zhou Ye's eyes darted around, and he suddenly leaned close to her ear and whispered his guess.

"Did your boss text you?" "Huh?? How did you know? Did he text you too?"

Zhou Ye wanted to say yes, but considering that she was sharing a room with Tian Xinwei and that Tian Xinwei and Meng Ziyi had a secret group chat, she could only shake her head in disappointment.

"My guess."

"Oh, then don't tell anyone, or let Brother Xiu come over tomorrow and give them a fright."

Hey, you said all of this yourself...

Zhou Ye felt helpless about Meng Ziyi's stubbornness, but could only nod and agree not to leak the secret.

When it came time for dinner that evening, Meng Ziyi's constant grin still caught the attention of others.

"Sister Meng, what happened? Why are you so happy?"

Guo Qilin blinked her small eyes, drawing everyone's attention at the table to Meng Ziyi.

Reba, with her keen eye for detail, managed to clearly see Meng Ziyi's expression before she could stop smiling, and then secretly began to ponder it in her mind.

Tian Xinwei's almond-shaped eyes darted left and right, and inadvertently caught Zhou Ye's guilty expression.

Thinking about how she had worked with Meng Ziyi that afternoon, Tian Xinwei's eyes narrowed, and she felt that she would have to give Zhou Ye a little "intensity" when she got back to her room that night.

Under everyone's gaze, Meng Ziyi glared at Guo Qilin and said reproachfully, "I'm not happy at all, don't talk nonsense!"

"You were laughing the whole time, Dudu saw it, right?"

Guo Qilin called out Chen Duling to testify on his behalf.

Unexpectedly, Chen Duling, who had already seen through everything, simply said dismissively, "Mengmeng smiles every day, there's nothing strange about that, is there?"

Upon hearing this, everyone felt that it made perfect sense, and they all teased Guo Qilin for making a fuss over nothing.

Song Dandan, a seasoned veteran who loves a good show, bluntly said, "Dalinzi, why are you always focusing on Sister Meng? She has a boyfriend, they've been together for so many years, and their relationship is great. You should be careful!"

"I???"

Guo Qilin was on the verge of tears. The situation just now was actually caused by Li Xueqin giving him a wink, which made him notice that Meng Ziyi was smiling strangely.

As a result, not only did I not get to eat the melon, but I became the melon myself.

Meng Ziyi feigned panic and said, "You're not trying to create a CP (couple pairing) with me, are you?"

"..."

Guo Qilin was speechless, too astonished to utter a word.

Meng Ziyi pressed on, saying, "If you're going to do this, I'll have to be wary of you."

"No, I didn't, I... I'm stupid, I must have misread it."

Guo Qilin immediately backed down and raised his hand to indicate his surrender.

Seeing this, Meng Ziyi smiled and accepted his letter of surrender.

The latter half of dinner passed quickly amidst everyone's banter and jokes.

Back in the room, the first thing Chen Duling did was cover the camera with her clothes, then she pulled Meng Ziyi aside and asked, "Is Chen Xiu coming over?"

"how do you know?"

"Um... with you laughing like that, it's hard for me not to notice."

"Didn't you just say I was no different from usual?"

Meng Ziyi frowned slightly, completely failing to appreciate the polite words Chen Duling had just spoken.

"Anyone can tell that I was covering for you, but you're just naive and think you're hiding it very well."

Chen Duling felt that Meng Ziyi was adorably silly, and it was this cuteness that made it impossible for anyone to have any bad intentions towards her.

However, there are too many bad women around her, and the situation is too complicated. Chen Duling felt that she still needed to personally step in and help Meng Ziyi.

Meng Ziyi pursed her lips at what she said, thinking that since she had already told Zhou Ye, it shouldn't be a problem to tell Chen Duling in advance, but she still had to keep it a secret.

"Yes! Brother Xiu will be a guest on the show tomorrow. I'm only telling you this, so please don't tell anyone else."

"You only told me this?"

Chen Duling looked skeptical, feeling that Meng Ziyi's statement was not very credible.

"You spent the afternoon with Zhou Ye, didn't you tell her?"

"Eh……"

Meng Ziyi opened his mouth slightly, looked at Chen Duling awkwardly, and then chuckled.

As expected, Chen Duling curled the corners of her lips and stared at Meng Ziyi without saying a word.

Feeling a little guilty under her gaze, Meng Ziyi solemnly declared, "Coconut promised me I wouldn't tell anyone. Besides you, no one else knows about this."

"Hopefully."

Chen Duling did not argue with Meng Ziyi about the facts she had already established.

She hesitated for a moment, then suddenly walked over and took Meng Ziyi's arm, beginning the subtle influence that had been going on for half a month.

"Mengmeng, after the show is finished recording, can I stay at your house for a few days?"

"Sure! Welcome, welcome!"

"Hehe, I'll cook for you then..."

Just when Meng Ziyi and Chen Duling were deeply in love.

On the other hand, Tian Xinwei also showed Zhou Ye a wave of "close friendship".

Seeing Tian Xinwei silently pulling him into the restroom, Zhou Ye looked on in alarm and asked, "Xiao Tian, ​​what are you doing?"

With a thud, Zhou Ye was so frightened that he closed his eyes tightly.

After slowly opening her eyes, she found herself pinned against the wall by Tian Xinwei. Zhou Ye swallowed hard.

After dropping her fake smile, Tian Xinwei exuded a rebellious vibe: "Tell me honestly, what message did Meng Ziyi receive this afternoon!"

"...(Sister Meng, I'm sorry)"
