Internet moguls are being held hostage by the entertainment system!

Chapter 66 Two people encountered a prickly prick while eating.

People who have something on their mind tend to sleep less.

After practicing free fighting moves with Chen Xiu all night, Meng Ziyi would habitually sleep until almost noon before getting up.

However, after yesterday's "confrontation" on set, Sister Meng woke up exceptionally early today, even earlier than Chen Xiu.

When the morning light shone on her bright face, her eyelashes, like half-brackets, trembled slightly. She then squinted her eyes a little, quickly adjusting to the not-so-strong light streaming in from the window.

Slowly regaining consciousness, Meng Ziyi pouted, got up and climbed upwards a bit, then supported herself on Chen Xiu's chest with her hands and began to look down at the handsome face with his eyes closed.

After looking at it for a moment, Meng Ziyi raised his hand and began to trace the outline from his forehead, along his brow bone to his cheekbone and inwards, all the way to the straight bridge of his nose...

"You're pressing down on me so much I can hardly breathe."

"Brother Xiu, you were awake a while ago?"

"A little bit later than you..."

Chen Xiu opened one eye, a smile playing on her lips, and said while squeezing in her other closed eye.

He was already awake when Meng Ziyi woke up, but he only closed his eyes and let the silly beauty do as she pleased when he sensed her movements.

Seeing Meng Ziyi pouting and remaining silent, Chen Xiu patted her: "Up so early, is something on your mind?"

"No……"

"Really?"

"a little bit."

Meng Ziyi raised his right hand and gestured the universe between his fingers.

Chen Xiu chuckled, clearly not believing that something so trivial could keep the silly beauty from sleeping.

"Then what is this little bit?"

"Hmm~~"

Meng Ziyi pursed his lips, looking at Chen Xiu with some hesitation, "Brother Xiu, if Nazha turns back to chase after you, will you...?"

"So that's what it was about. Ha, even if I answered no, you'd probably still overthink it, right?"

Chen Xiu saw through Sister Meng's little scheme, then propped herself up on the bed, leaned against the headboard, cupped her heart-shaped face in her hands, and looked at her with sincere eyes.

“Nezha and I are both adults. We only dated for less than three months, and it’s been three years now. What is there to hold onto?”

"You've let go, but she may not..."

With her cheeks lifted, Meng Ziyi pouted and revealed Na Zha's thoughts.

"No way, she's a second-tier female celebrity, why would she go back to an ex!"

"She will! She definitely will!"

"why?"

“I know that kind of thing, no, I can sense that she still has feelings for you.”

Meng Ziyi originally wanted to say, "I know that feeling, that guy's desire to go back to his old flame is so authentic," but as soon as the words left his mouth, he immediately realized that he was exposing himself, so he quickly changed his words.

Her flustered and incoherent words brought a hint of a smile to Chen Xiu's eyes.

"What does it matter to me if she has feelings for me? People's thoughts are always changing. Yesterday, Nezha might have feelings for me, but in a few days, those feelings might be gone. Instead of thinking about her, you should think about what to have for breakfast!"

Chen Xiusong released Meng Ziyi's face, picked up the phone on the table, and prepared to order takeout.

Seeing his actions, Meng Ziyi pouted and called out, "Don't order takeout. The film crew has booked this hotel, and the delivery guy can't get in."

"What if you don't want to eat at the hotel and want to order takeout?"

"Big stars just ask their assistants to get it! As a newbie, I have to go downstairs and get it myself."

Meng Ziyi sat up, looking pitifully at Chen Xiu, and then suddenly thought, "Hey, if you order takeout, you can ask Wei Feng and Da Xiong to pick it up!"

Chen Xiu shook her head: "You're too late. I gave them both the day off last night. Unless there's an emergency, I won't be sending them any messages all day today." "Tsk, working for you is great, lots of days off, good pay, and you get red envelopes every few days..."

Meng Ziyi counted the benefits of working for Chen Xiu on his fingers, and then gave a summary.

"Brother Xiu, if I ever can't make it in the entertainment industry, how about I work for you and be a housewife?"

"With me here, you won't be left behind. Get up and eat!"

Chen Xiu's lack of response made Meng Ziyi's smile turn somewhat sullen.

Before she could even start thinking about it, Chen Xiu, who was already sitting on the edge of the bed getting dressed, added, "Cheng Lidong invited me to dinner tonight. He's the chairman of Yongle. Do you want to come with me?"

"I go!"

Meng Ziyi readily agreed, then cautiously asked, "Does the meal require drinking as part of the social obligations?"

"He needs to entertain me."

……

Upon arriving at the restaurant, Chen Xiu and Meng Ziyi each ordered what they wanted to eat, and then chose an empty table to sit down.

After working late into the night and not having eaten breakfast, Chen Xiu's stomach was completely empty.

As soon as he sat down, he stuffed a steamed bun into his mouth and asked, "Sister Meng, don't you have any scenes to film today?"

"Today we're mainly filming scenes between Lin Genxin and the female lead, so I, as the maid, don't need to appear on camera!"

Meng Ziyi took a bite of her egg pancake, her face full of longing for the lead role: "Brother Xiu, when do you think I can play the lead role? Tsk, even the second lead would be fine!"

"It's bound to happen sooner or later, no need to rush..."

At this point, Chen Xiu suddenly stopped.

Meng Ziyi turned to look at him, and then saw Nezha, accompanied by his assistant, appearing in front of the two of them with a smile.

"Chen Xiu, Meng Ziyi, may I share a table with you?"

When Nezha said this, his eyes were fixed on Chen Xiu the whole time, and he only turned to look at Meng Ziyi when he called her name.

Such a blatant look in her eyes infuriated Meng Ziyi, who immediately stood up. "Why are you squeezing into our tables when there are so many empty ones?"

"Chen Xiu and I were classmates at the Beijing Film Academy. So, you're actually our junior. Is there any problem with us all having dinner together?"

"you……"

Meng Ziyi was about to start a fight with Na Zha when Chen Xiu pulled his hand and looked down at him with a puzzled expression.

Chen Xiu beckoned to Meng Ziyi, gesturing for her to sit down, then leaned close to the silly beauty's ear and said, "She said that on purpose to make you angry. Let's just eat normally and ignore her. If you're worried about the trouble, we can change tables."

"deliberately?"

Meng Ziyi looked up at Nezha, whose expression was somewhat stiff. He was about to tell Chen Xiu to change seats, but soon a new idea came to him.

She leaned close to Chen Xiu's ear and said with a hint of coquettishness, "I won't change it. She's making me angry, so I'll make her angry too!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Xiu turned to look at Sister Meng, but did not stop her.

Having figured out what he needed to do, Meng Ziyi held Chen Xiu's hand and gave Nazha a knowing smile.

"Senior, since you want to share a table with us, then let's do it! It's nice to eat together and have a lively meal."

"Thank you."

Nezha replied with a somewhat unpleasant expression, but she still sat down opposite Chen Xiu.

The female assistant placed the tray on the table and was about to ask if Nezha could start eating when she looked up and saw Chen Xiu stop.

"Are you He Yichen from your university days?"
