Huayu: Rising from Tencent

When Liu Shishi's call to Shen Ci was rejected, she immediately urged Grandpa Wu to personally apologize to Shen Ci.

Mr. Wu was really unwilling to swallow his pride and apologize, and the two ended up arguing about it.

For the next two or three days, Liu Shishi didn't even look at Grandpa Wu properly, and ignored him.

Grandpa Wu's anger gradually subsided, so he hurriedly ran to coax Liu Shishi, saying that he shouldn't have lost his temper.

"It's not about getting angry. Look at all the people you've asked for help, and what's the result? There's been absolutely no progress."

Liu Shishi looked disappointed. Could it be that Grandpa Wu was getting old and his pride had become so stubborn?

"This is just the beginning," said Grandpa Wu, reaching out to hug Liu Shishi in an attempt to soothe her.

Liu Shishi dodged his touch and said vehemently:

"If it can't air as planned, the compensation from kiwifruit will be substantial. How much money does the company have left? After paying out the compensation, we might even have to sell our house. Have you thought about that?"

Grandpa Wu did want to apologize, but Liu Shishi's urgent urging made him feel that he was losing face.

He has navigated the complexities of human relationships since childhood, eventually achieving success in his career...

He was actually quite sensitive, and this personality trait made it difficult for him to swallow his pride for a moment.

"Alright, I'll have Zhao Xiaodao go find that General Manager Shen," Grandpa Wu said slowly after a moment's thought.

Liu Shishi understood his meaning and couldn't help but question, "Xiao Dao Hui is willing to go? Why should they listen to you?"

Grandpa Wu was speechless. Zhao Xiaodao's fame was growing, and it was he who took the initiative to invite him to write "The Legend of Shu".

Asking someone to step in and help resolve this matter now is indeed a bit of a stretch.

"I really don't understand why you're so stubborn. Anyway, it's my money, and I absolutely can't just watch it go down the drain."

Liu Shishi decided to stop relying on this man. Even if she had to be shameless, she would call Shen Ci again to try.

Grandpa Wu's face darkened, and he said angrily, "Your money is in there, but does that mean my money isn't?"

"You were the one who persuaded me to vote in the first place," Liu Shishi said, giving him the order to leave. "You should go back now."

"Shishi~"

Grandpa Wu wanted to salvage the situation and tried to embrace Liu Shishi, but Liu Shishi took several steps back and dodged his hand.

Helpless, Mr. Wu could only say, "I'll think of a way," before slinking away.

Liu Shishi watched his departing figure, ran to the wardrobe, rummaged around for a long time, and took out a pack of cigarettes from the box.

She found a fire, lit it, and took a few deep drags.

"Cough cough cough..."

As soon as the cigarette entered her throat, Liu Shishi choked and coughed, tears welling up in her eyes.

If word gets out that she won't get back half of the money, people outside will laugh at her.

Liu Shishi no longer cared about these jokes; all she wanted now was to get her money back.

"Damn it, at worst I'll just seduce her. That much money is way more important than sleeping with her once!!"

Liu Shishi made a decision in her heart, and her disgust for Grandpa Wu grew stronger, feeling that he had no sense of responsibility at all.

What kind of man am I... no, what kind of old man am I!

Meanwhile, Tangren responded to Tencent with its feedback on the "Chen Qianqian" project, and Tencent also sent someone to deliver the contract to Tangren.

Naza and Cai Yinong solemnly signed their names on the contract, marking the official conclusion of the matter.

"When exactly is the start-up time?" Cai Yinong asked with concern.

The employee from Tencent replied, "Before the end of next month."

Cai Yinong had a vague feeling that something was not right.

Naza asked impatiently, "Has the male lead been decided yet?"

"Still selecting..." The Tencent employee knew the inside story, but dared not tell the truth and could only give vague answers.

"Filming is about to start, and the male lead hasn't been decided yet?" Naza couldn't help but frown.

The employee quickly came up with an explanation:

"President Shen attaches great importance to this project, personally handling everything and setting extremely high standards."

"I see!" Naza thought that since the project was being taken so seriously, it couldn't be too bad.

"Sister K, once I get to Beijing, I'll treat President Shen to dinner. If we get photographed together, please don't misunderstand."

Instead of talking about the project, Naza affectionately hugged Cai Yinong's waist and joked around with a grin.

Cai Yinong patted her and teased, "If you can win her over, I won't have any objections."

"Ha ha ha ha!!"

Naza laughed so hard she almost fell over. After letting go of Cai Yinong and signing the contract, she felt completely relaxed and naturally didn't want to stay at the company anymore.

She exchanged a few more pleasantries with Cai Yinong, then picked up her bag, ready to go out and do some serious shopping to treat herself.

The elevator descended to the lobby on the first floor, and the doors had just opened...

Naza then saw two girls standing outside the elevator; they were her junior sisters, Chen Yao and Jin Chen.

"Sister Naza," Chen Yao greeted softly.

"Sister Naza, you came to the company today?" Jin Chen was outgoing and spoke in a particularly loud voice.

"Come to the company to sign a contract, and the machine will be started next month."

Naza spoke with a hint of pride, and seeing the envious expressions on their faces, she felt quite satisfied.

"Congratulations, sister," Jin Chen said with a big smile. "And congratulations on becoming the number one sister."

"Don't say things like that, Senior Sister is still here!"

Naza was speechless. Jin Chen's voice was so loud; it wouldn't be good if others heard it.

She was too lazy to exchange pleasantries with the two of them, so she made up an excuse, ended the conversation, and left in a hurry.

Chen Yao and Jin Chen entered the elevator. Jin Chen said with an envious look, "Sister K is so good to Nazha."

"They're famous now, and we're still newcomers," Chen Yao said calmly.

Jin Chen retorted, unconvinced, "They were heavily promoted during their rookie period; we can't compare at all."

Chen Yao was silent for a moment, then said, "People of the same kind have different fates."

"Don't rush," Jin Chen said, taking Chen Yao's hand. "We can catch up and surpass them in the future."

"Mmm!" Chen Yao couldn't help but get excited after Jin Chen said that.

However, as soon as the elevator doors opened, the two were startled to see Cai Yinong standing outside the elevator.

Cai Yinong glanced at them, said a few words, and then led the Tencent employees into the elevator.

In an instant, their excitement vanished without a trace.

While signing the contract with Sugarman, the main creative team for "The Romance of Tiger and Rose" was also successfully finalized.

The director is Cha Chuan-Yi, a veteran filmmaker.

He directed his first film back in the 1980s, making him a very experienced director.

Shen Ci felt that this director might not be very good. He debuted so early, yet he was willing to take on small projects, which seemed a bit unpicky.

But after meeting Cha Chuan-yi in person, I listened to his detailed and eloquent explanation of the relevant matters.

Shen Ci's initial opinion also changed.

"Mr. Shen, don't worry, I know those Kuaishou scriptwriters very well, I'll definitely finish filming before the deadline!"

"Quality must be guaranteed."

"Absolutely, you can rest assured!" Cha Chuanyi patted his chest and assured Shen Ci.

Shen Ci said, "I'll leave everything on site to you, Director Cha."

"Thank you for your trust, Mr. Shen." Cha Chuanyi quickly stood up and respectfully extended his hand.

Shen Ci shook hands with him, then withdrew his hand and said, "Director Cha, you can go ahead and get back to work."

"Okay," Cha Chuanyi replied, leaning closer to Shen Ci, "Have you got any ideas about the male lead yet?"

"You want to recommend?" Shen Ci asked in return.

Cha Chuan-yi said ingratiatingly, "I know an actor who is handsome and has excellent acting skills."

"Oh? A Hong Kong actor?"

"Hi, Mr. Shen..."

Shen Ci interrupted him: "You just need to focus on making the project a success. Other things will be handled by someone else."

Cha Chuanyi, still smiling, quickly agreed and then took his leave.

Previously, Shen Ci rejected the additional two million yuan that Sun Huaizhong offered for "The Romance of Tiger and Rose".

Now that Nazar has joined, the two million has returned to the dedicated account.

It was Lin Xin who told Shen Ci about this.

Shen Ci didn't say anything after hearing this, Sun Huaizhong also remained silent, and Wang Juan chose to play dead, pretending that nothing had happened.

"Beep beep beep..."

The phone on the desk suddenly vibrated. Shen Ci picked it up, saw the caller ID, and rolled his eyes.

"Teacher Liu, I've always thought of you as introverted and shy, I never imagined you could be so shameless!!"
