Huayu: Rising from Tencent

"We've arrived. The license plate ends in 991."

Shen Ci's message came into view. Naza picked up her bag and walked out of the photography studio.

There were many vehicles parked outside the studio, and amidst the bustling traffic, Naza glanced around for a few seconds before spotting Shen Ci's car.

She walked towards the car, reached the door, opened it, bent down, and prepared to get in.

Shen Ci was stunned when he saw Na Zha bending over, amazed by her stunning makeup and appearance today.

In the sweltering summer heat, Naza wore a lace V-neck vest paired with simple denim shorts.

This outfit showed off her long, slender, fair legs, especially the V-neck design...

As she bent over, her neckline opened slightly, allowing Shen Ci to catch a glimpse of white light.

"Mr. Shen, have you been waiting long?" Naza got into the car, closed the door casually, and had a bright smile on his face.

"I just arrived not long ago," Shen Ci said, withdrawing his gaze.

Naza shifted his body and sat down next to Shen Ci.

The rear air conditioning vents were right next to Shen Ci, and she really wanted to enjoy the cool airflow.

"I thought you would drive here yourself." Naza turned to the side, looking at Shen Ci with a playful gaze.

For some reason, she always felt that Shen Ci had a pleasant scent, which was definitely not the smell of perfume.

"I don't have a car," Shen Ci shrugged and said. "This car was provided by the company."

"I don't believe it."

Naza thought Shen Ci was definitely joking.

Shen Ci turned his head and his gaze met Na Zha's, only to find that her eyes were fixed on him.

Moreover, the perfume on Naza's body was strong, and the two were standing very close, which made him sigh inwardly...

Female celebrities, they really know how to do it!!

"I'm not kidding you, Teacher Zha is treating. What are we going to eat?" Shen Ci didn't want to dwell on this topic any longer.

Seeing this, Naza gave the driver a location, then turned to Shen Ci and said, "Western food, I stored the wine there."

Shen Ci nodded and replied, "That works too."

"Has President Shen always been like this?" Naza looked at Shen Ci and found his answer concise and interesting.

Shen Ci looked puzzled: "Huh??"

Naza pointed to his face and explained, "It's just that you seem to have a mature and composed demeanor."

Shen Ci touched his face: "Mature?"

"Yes!" Naza said enthusiastically, "You're so young, you should have more youthful energy."

Shen Ci was momentarily at a loss for words. This Naza really was outspoken.

"President Shen is handsome and has an air of nobility. If he could be more natural and relaxed, he would definitely attract a lot of women."

Upon hearing this, Shen Ci couldn't help but chuckle softly.

"That's it!" Naza clapped his hands excitedly and said, "Smiling more makes you more charming!!"

"I really have to thank you for your suggestion." Shen Ci secretly admired Na Zha's eloquence.

"Haha, you're welcome!!"

Naza generously accepted Shen Ci's thanks, feeling quite pleased with herself, thinking that Shen Ci must have a good impression of her.

After he finished speaking, a brief silence fell over the car.

Shen Ci's hand rested lightly on the car door, his fingers unconsciously tapping lightly on it.

He was never very good at communicating with women.

In his previous life, he had few romantic experiences, and in this life, he only had one interaction with Mao Xiaotong.

"President Shen!" Naza broke the silence.

Upon hearing the sound, Shen Ci turned to look at Nazha, only to find Nazha staring intently at him.

"Why did you choose me for this role so quickly at the company that day? My senior sister was there too."

Naza couldn't understand why Shen Ci would choose her without hesitation between her and Liu Shishi.

After all, Liu Shishi was much more famous than her.

"You know about Grandpa Wu's matter, right?" Shen Ci asked in return.

Naza nodded. Cai Yinong had told her about this a few days ago, and she was quite surprised at the time.

"What did Grandpa Wu do to offend you?" Naza asked.

She was not only curious about how Grandpa Wu had offended Shen Ci, but also shocked by the power behind Shen Ci.

Shen Ci didn't answer immediately, but turned to look out the window and said, "We've arrived at the restaurant."

This restaurant is a must-visit for Naza every time she comes to the capital. The interior is elegant, romantic, and stylish.

She had made a reservation in advance, and the waiter led the two to a seat by the window.

After being seated and ordering, Naza instructed the waiter to bring her stored wine.

Soon after, the appetizers were served, and the waiter skillfully took the wine, began to decan it, and poured it into a wine dispenser.

Shen Ci never liked having someone serve him while he ate, so he gestured for the waiter to leave.

Naza took the initiative to pick up the decanter and poured a glass of wine for Shen Ci and herself.

"Cheers!" Naza raised his glass, extending it to Shen Ci with a bright smile.

Shen Ci clinked glasses with her and then took a small sip of wine.

"How does it taste?" Naza looked at Shen Ci expectantly.

"It's alright," Shen Ci replied simply.

This answer displeased Naza somewhat. Normally, shouldn't the other party praise the wine for being delicious?

However, she didn't care too much, her gossip-loving spirit still burning brightly.

"What exactly did Grandpa Wu do to offend you?" Naza continued to ask relentlessly.

Shen Ci had just cut a piece of meat and put it in his mouth when he heard this and looked up at the skewer.

Naza couldn't help but burst out laughing.

At this moment, Shen Ci's lips were puffed out, and his eyes still held a hint of confusion, making him look extremely cute.

Shen Ci slowly swallowed the food in his mouth, put down his knife and fork, and said slowly, "You can ask your senior sister."

"No way, I'm not stupid," Naza said, feigning helplessness. The answer was rather uninteresting.

"Eat up! You've been filming all day, aren't you hungry?" Shen Ci tried to distract her.

Naza smiled, picked up her knife and fork, and began cutting her steak, saying, "President Shen is so thoughtful."

Shen Ci curled the corners of her lips, ignored her words, and continued eating on her own.

Naza didn't have a big appetite; after a few bites of steak, he lost his appetite.

She suddenly remembered that she had something important to ask Shen Ci.

"Mr. Shen, could you give me the script first?"

The script for "The Romance of Tiger and Rose" was not yet fully completed, so even if Shen Ci wanted to give it to her, there was nothing he could do.

"Have the company liaise with the project manager," Shen Ci said, directly passing the task to Li Eryun.

Naza felt that Shen Ci was a bit oblivious to romance. She hadn't removed her makeup and had dressed up carefully for this meeting!

"Okay then, who are the male lead and the director?" Naza asked again.

Shen Ci asked earnestly, "Teacher Zha, what's your professional ethics like when you're filming?"

"Great! I'm always very cooperative when filming."

Naza answered without hesitation, then asked curiously, "Why did you suddenly ask that, Mr. Shen?"

"It's nothing." Shen Ci shook his head and said, "The male lead will be decided soon. The director is from Hong Kong, his name is Cha Chuan-yee."

He thought to himself that since the contract had already been signed, Cai Yinong was unlikely to break it unless she was stupid.

Mentioning the director's name will definitely get them in touch with Sugarman, so it doesn't matter if the project is exposed.

When Naza heard the director's name, she couldn't remember who it was, but she nodded in a perfunctory manner.

"Director Cha is very capable."

Shen Ci found it somewhat amusing to look at her feigned composure; it was obvious she had no idea who Cha Chuanyi was.

The two ate for over an hour, and there was still quite a bit of wine left in the decanter.

After the meal, Shen Ci, being a gentleman, offered to take Nazha home. Nazha did not refuse and did not think much of it.

"I'm based in Shanghai, and I've rented a small apartment here. I hope you won't mind, Mr. Shen."

After getting in the car, Naza gave the address and said jokingly.

"I'm not going to be a guest, so what's there to complain about?" Shen Ci replied, then added:

"Besides, I don't own a house here."

Naza couldn't help but pat Shen Ci's arm and said coquettishly, "Stop joking."

Shen Ci glanced at her clapping her hands and said seriously, "Why would I lie to you? I always stay in hotels."

"Aren't you from the capital?" Naza asked curiously.

Shen Ci replied, "No, I'm from Shenzhen."

Upon hearing this, Naza couldn't help but look at Shen Ci again, and Shen Ci's eyes met hers.

"Could Mr. Shen be related to Little Ma?"

Shen Ci became a senior executive at Tencent Video at a young age, and being from Shenzhen, it's easy to make this connection.

Shen Ci raised an eyebrow slightly and said, "Guess?"

"I..." Naza was about to speak when Shen Ci interrupted him.

"We've arrived. Go back and get some rest."

Shen Ci pointed out the car window, and Nazha looked in the direction he was pointing and found that they had indeed arrived at their residence.

"I'll be going now, Mr. Shen, please drive carefully." Nazar picked up the bag next to her and prepared to get out of the car.

Shen Ci nodded, and then the car stopped.

Naza pushed open the car door, got out, and turned to wave at Shen Ci inside the car.

Shen Ci also raised his hand and waved.

Just as Naza closed the car door, he seemed to remember something and immediately opened the door again, leaning into the car.

"See you then, Mr. Shen."

When Naza said this, her eyes were bright and she looked expectant.

Shen Ci replied, "See you then."

Hearing the response, Naza closed the car door with satisfaction and turned to walk into the residential area.

Upon returning home, Naza immediately went to the bathroom to remove her makeup and changed into comfortable loungewear.

After doing all that, she put on a face mask and then lazily lay down on the sofa.

She kept replaying the meeting with Shen Ci in her mind, carefully recalling whether she had done anything wrong.

After reviewing the situation for a while, she felt that overall it was pretty good.

Then, Naza picked up the tablet next to her and began searching for information about Tencent's senior management.

After searching for a while, they couldn't find anyone with the surname Shen, and finally had to give up in despair.

She lay on the sofa, her thoughts drifting back to Shen Ci. Remembering the fragrance on him, she became even more curious.

That scent is incomparable to ordinary perfumes.

As she pondered the problem, even the face mask dried out, but she still couldn't come up with a solution and eventually had to give up.

Upon entering the bathroom, Naza removed the dried-out face mask and began her skincare routine again.

Afterwards, Naza picked up her phone and sent a message to Shen Ci: "President Shen, let's hang out sometime next time."

After a while, Shen Ci replied, "Okay."

Upon seeing the reply, Naza hummed a little tune and started scrolling through Weibo. This meeting had sparked a strong interest in Shen Ci.

Most importantly, Shen Ci's outstanding appearance is rare in the industry; he is handsome and has a unique charm.

Moreover, his skin was in excellent condition, and Naza even wanted to ask Shen Ci what skincare products he usually used.

People are often attracted to each other's appearance when they first meet.

Good looks are everything, no matter the time.
