Huayu: Rising from Tencent

Chapter 109 Black comes to Beijing, white comes too; eat my saliva

"It's lunchtime, let's make something ourselves."

"She has the air of a virtuous wife and loving mother."

The blind woman glanced at Shen Ci, said nothing, but squatted down by the entrance and got him a brand new pair of slippers.

Shen Ci's words are true.

The blind woman was dressed in loose-fitting home clothes, her hair casually tied up, and an apron tied around her waist; she looked quite charming.

"Please sit down for a while, I still have two dishes to cook."

"If you're thirsty and want a drink, there's some in the fridge."

After watching Shen Ci change his shoes, Liu Shishi said a few words and then hurried to the kitchen.

Shen Ci responded and began to stroll leisurely around the house.

The house has three bedrooms and two living rooms, and is exquisitely decorated. The furniture and appliances inside are all brand new models that were recently purchased.

After wandering around for a while, Shen Ci strolled into the kitchen.

Liu Shishi was intently stirring the vegetables in the pan, looking busy and focused.

The loungewear she was wearing was made of a light and thin material, subtly exuding a hint of allure.

Especially at the back of the pants, the outline of the underwear inside is faintly visible.

Shen Ci's gaze fell on her, and the fire in his heart gradually rose.

He tiptoed behind Liu Shishi, then suddenly opened his arms and hugged her waist tightly.

What are you doing???

Liu Shishi was truly helpless, and she struggled to break free from Shen Ci's embrace.

Seeing her like this, Shen Ci hugged her even tighter, his lips close to her ear, and said, "Don't you want to?"

"I'm cooking right now!" Liu Shishi turned her head, looking at Shen Ci with a reproachful expression. "That kind of thing isn't urgent!"

Upon hearing this, Shen Ci stared intently at her.

Liu Shishi was about to say something more, but before she could open her mouth, Shen Ci quickly pressed his lips against hers and silenced her.

"Hey, don't pull your pants down like that!"

"You madman, you haven't seen a woman in centuries!"

"Take it slow..."

After an unknown amount of time, Shen Ci looked at the food in the pot, which had turned into a mushy mess, with some of the food even sticking tightly to the bottom of the pot.

"The food's all burnt to a crisp, is it still edible?"

Liu Shishi ignored him and adjusted her pants around her thighs, but she still felt extremely uncomfortable wearing them.

"I'm going to take a shower, you can wash the pot..."

After saying that, Liu Shishi ripped off her apron, tossed it onto the kitchen counter, and turned to walk towards the bathroom.

Upon seeing this, Shen Ci immediately followed.

Liu Shishi noticed his actions but pretended not to see them and didn't want to pay attention to him.

Shen Ci quickly walked to her side, put his arm around her shoulder, and said, "Let's shower together. Do you have any pajamas here?"

"No!" Liu Shishi shook her shoulders irritably, trying to shake off Shen Ci's hand, but to no avail.

The two entered the bathroom, and Shen Ci closed the door behind him. Soon after, the sound of the showerhead spraying water could be heard from inside the bathroom.

"I don't have pajamas, but I have a large-size white T-shirt, you can make do with that."

"Hmm, how about taking a bath?"

"Okay, but don't you dare touch me again."

Meanwhile, outside the Tencent Video office building, Lin Xiaomi was accompanying Zhang Jingyi and her mother.

Zhang Jingyi and her mother arrived in Beijing today to conduct an on-site inspection of Tencent's video production facilities.

Lin Xin received a phone call in the morning, but didn't tell Shen Ci.

She has always been the type of person who won't report things until they've been thoroughly investigated.

"Aunt Zhang, Jingyi, we meet again!"

Downstairs, Lin Xin shook hands with Zhang's mother, and then greeted Zhang Jingyi warmly.

Zhang Jingyi smiled and nodded slightly, without saying anything.

Zhang's mother politely said, "Mr. Lin, thank you so much for troubling you and disturbing your work."

"You're too kind, it's no trouble at all."

Lin Xin quickly waved her hand and responded enthusiastically.

"I'll give you a proper tour of the company."

The Zhang family, mother and daughter, came to see the company in person.

After all, seeing is believing!

No matter how well Lin Xin explained it, if they didn't see it with their own eyes, they would inevitably feel like they had encountered a liar.

Lin Xin led the two of them upstairs.

As soon as they arrived at the front desk, the Zhang mother and daughter saw the penguin plush toy and couldn't help but believe Lin Xin's words to some extent.

Lin Xin introduced them to the company's various regions and businesses.

Along the way, many employees encountered Lin Xin and greeted her politely.

Zhang Jingyi looked around curiously. She had only ever seen this kind of workplace scene in some workplace dramas on TV.

"Ms. Lin, what kind of work do you do here?" Seeing how enthusiastic everyone around Lin Xin was, Zhang's mother took the initiative to ask.

Lin Xin said, "Auntie, please don't call me 'General Manager,' I'm actually our boss's secretary."

Upon hearing this, both Zhang's mother and Zhang Jingyi widened their eyes.

"My boss is the vice president here."

After Lin Xin finished speaking, she turned her gaze to Zhang Jingyi.

"Jingyi, if you had been browsing Weibo around the time after the New Year, you should know my boss. His name is Shen Ci."

Zhang's mother listened and looked at her daughter with a puzzled expression.

Zhang Jingyi's mouth was agape in an "O" shape, her face filled with surprise.

"Yiyi, do you know this person?" Zhang's mother asked.

Zhang Jingyi nodded and looked at her mother, saying, "I've seen this boss on Weibo. Mom, Lin Jie's boss is Little Ma's nephew."

"Little Ma, he's the boss of Tencent!!!"

She was browsing Weibo when she came across Shen Ci's photo. She thought he was very handsome and even commented on it.

Now Zhang's mother completely believed Lin Xin and couldn't help but marvel at how lucky her daughter was.

Lin Xin sighed inwardly, wishing she had known this would happen...

They should have mentioned their boss's name earlier; it might have saved them a lot of trouble!

After visiting the company, Lin Xin booked a hotel for Zhang and her daughter.

Feeling bad about it, Zhang's mother invited Lin Xin to have dinner together, and Lin Xin gladly accepted.

After dinner, Lin Xin took the two to their hotel. Once everything was settled, she called Zhou Ye.

The Zhou family has been having a heated discussion about Lin Xin coming to their door lately.

Zhou Ye's older sister, who was studying abroad, was very supportive of her younger sister after learning about the matter.

She said she could go to the capital to do some on-site research!

After some discussion, Zhou's father finally decided that he would personally take Zhou Ye to the capital in a few days.

Lin Xin called to tell Zhou's father about the decision, and Lin Xin was overjoyed!

After hanging up the phone, Zhou's father said to his wife, "There's no such thing as a free lunch in this world. This is too strange."

Zhou's mother was quite open-minded and replied, "Just go and take a look. If you feel something is wrong, just turn around and leave."

Mr. Zhou thought his wife's words made sense, nodded, and said, "I'll talk to Yezi about this when she gets home from school."

Free lunches are rare, but they do happen occasionally.

Like Li Xin, she received an invitation from Tencent Video, who said they wanted her to star in a short series.

This sudden acting offer, which was actually extended by Tencent, left Li Qin feeling completely bewildered.

Previously, the project "The Perfect Bride" was rejected by Tencent Video, and the project team went to great lengths to reach a cooperation agreement with iQiyi.

However, the deal with Kiwi Fruit signed with this drama came with conditions; "The Perfect Bride" even offered the male lead and the second male lead in return.

Li Qin sighed inwardly, thinking that if Tencent Video had accepted the project back then, she might have been sent to Shen Ci's side.

Despite having many thoughts in her mind, Li Lin still chose to accept the film offer from Tencent Video.

Why not take the role?!

The filming period for the episodic drama was short, and the pay was quite good. Since she wasn't very famous at the moment, she naturally wouldn't be picky.

After Lin Xin finished calling Zhou Ye's family, she immediately reported the matter to Shen Cihui.

"When Zhou Ye arrives, bring Zhang Jingyi along too. I want to meet these two girls in person."

"Mr. Shen, then I'll let Zhang Jingyi and her daughter stay a few more days."

"Okay, I'm hanging up."

Shen Ci hung up the phone, casually tossed it aside, and continued to focus intently on the computer.

On the computer screen was the script for "Love Between Mountains and Seas".

After taking a bath with Liu Shishi, Shen Ci received a phone call informing him that the script for "Love Between Mountains and Seas" was finally completed.

This script took almost half a year to create, and it is now finally completed, which is truly remarkable.

Shen Ci started reading the script directly on Liu Shishi's computer.

At this moment, Liu Shishi carried a fruit platter into the study and placed it on the table.

Seeing Shen Ci so engrossed in watching, Liu Shishi walked over to Shen Ci, pulled up a chair, and slowly sat down.

"Is this the script?" Liu Shishi asked softly.

"Yeah, it took me more than half a year to finish. Pick me an apple to eat," Shen Ci replied without looking up.

Liu Shishi complied, reaching out to pull the fruit plate closer, picking up a piece of apple with a fork, and offering it to Shen Ci's lips.

After Shen Ci opened his mouth and ate the apple, she forked a piece and ate it, then rested her head on Shen Ci's shoulder.

Having worked in the entertainment industry for so many years, Liu Shishi can tell the difference between a good script and a bad one at a glance.

As she watched, she unconsciously picked up another piece of apple and fed it to Shen Ci's mouth again.

After seeing him eat, she asked, "A serious drama?"

"Yes." Shen Ci nodded, swallowed the apple, and turned to look at her. "What do you think of this notebook?"

"It's pretty good. Is this a collaboration with CCTV? Will it be broadcast on CCTV's platform?"

"Why are you asking so many questions? What, you want to take pictures?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Shishi, unusually shameless, nodded emphatically and asked expectantly, "May I take pictures?"

Shen Ci looked her up and down and said bluntly, "You—your acting is terrible, and you don't have that kind of spirit in your eyes. You're practically blind. If you were to act, you would ruin the script."

'

Liu Shishi looked at Shen Ci in disbelief, only to see him continue staring at the screen at the script after saying those words.

What do you mean I have no acting skills? And you even said I'm blind??

"The apples are delicious, can I pick another one?"

Liu Shishi used a fork to pick up a piece of apple, first put it in her own mouth and stirred it, and then handed it to Shen Ci's mouth.

Shen Ci was so engrossed in reading the script that he bit down without thinking, his eyes never leaving the screen.

Liu Shishi snorted inwardly.

Eat up, you bastard, you little brat, have a good taste of my saliva!
