Huayu: Rising from Tencent

Zhang Ruonan has started university!

Upon entering university, she became the "white moonlight" for many.

Boys kept coming to ask for my contact information, one after another.

Zhang Ruonan has her own firm principles.

Aside from classmates, she politely declines any other people who approach her and ask for her contact information.

Due to military training, Zhang Ruonan has temporarily stopped her part-time modeling work and plans to resume the shoot after it ends.

During this period, some of her photos appeared on Taobao.

This garnered her some attention on Weibo, with her comment section filled with praise.

A surge of joy welled up in Zhang Ruonan's heart, but being reserved by nature, she kept this happiness quietly hidden in her heart.

Today, after a tiring day of military training, Zhang Ruonan dragged her aching body back to her dormitory.

She brought over a basin of hot water, immersed her feet in it, and the rising steam gradually dispelled her fatigue.

After soaking for a while, my phone suddenly rang.

When Zhang Ruonan saw Shen Ci's name displayed on the screen, she instinctively answered the phone quickly.

The two would chat from time to time.

Zhang Ruonan was full of curiosity about the entertainment industry and always had various questions to ask Shen Ci, who would patiently answer them.

Speaking of which, Shen Ci had asked her for photos a few times, and although Zhang Ruonan was a little shy, she would still fulfill his request.

Aside from not having video calls, the two seemed to have had all the necessary communication.

"How's military training? Is it tiring?"

"I'm so tired. The sun has tanned me so dark, my feet hurt a lot, and my calves are sore. I'm soaking my feet right now."

Zhang Ruonan answered truthfully, her voice tinged with exhaustion.

When Shen Ci heard that she was soaking her feet, the image of her soaking her feet involuntarily appeared in his mind.

However, he didn't have any strange fetishes and didn't ask her to take pictures for him.

"You could go for a spa treatment; it's very soothing," Shen Ci thoughtfully suggested.

"That sounds good!" Zhang Ruonan seemed to have a flash of inspiration and became interested. "I'll give it a try after military training."

Shen Ci said, "After military training, you can come to the capital."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Ruonan's mind went blank for a moment, and she didn't know how to respond.

Is this someone who wants to meet me?

Thinking of Shen Ci's face, Zhang Ruonan inexplicably felt that if they really met, there might not be any problem.

"What did I say to you when we first met?" Shen Ci asked when she remained silent.

As Zhang Ruonan recalled the scene of their first meeting, her cheeks flushed slightly, and her voice unconsciously softened.

"Give me your business card and ask if I want to be a celebrity."

As soon as she said it, she suddenly realized what she had said, and a surge of excitement instantly spread from the soles of her feet throughout her body.

"Are you really going to make a TV series for me???"

Zhang Ruonan couldn't help but excitedly blurt it out.

She realized her lapse in composure as soon as she finished speaking, and quickly glanced at the dormitory. Fortunately, her roommates were not there.

"Otherwise, why would I bring you here? Don't you want to?"

Hearing her excited reaction, Shen Ci felt smug. He quite enjoyed the feeling of controlling other people's emotions.

"It's...it's...it's really too unexpected, my mind is still blank." Zhang Ruonan was incoherent.

Shen Ci teased, "Then you can digest it slowly."

Zhang Ruonan chuckled at his words, but still asked with some disbelief, "Are you really not lying to me?"

"Do I look like a liar?" Shen Ci asked rhetorically.

Zhang Ruonan subconsciously shook her head and said softly, "No."

"That's more like it," Shen Ci thought for a moment, then continued, "How about we come over after military training?"

"Okay, I can go there now."

Zhang Ruonan was so excited she could hardly contain herself. In her eyes, the university she had been admitted to was nothing more than a worthless diploma.

Shen Ci wasn't in a hurry and said, "Focus on your military training first. If it's convenient, bring your family along too."

Zhang Ruonan hesitated for a moment, then said softly, "Mm."

Actually, she didn't want to bring her family along because they had never been too happy about her working as a part-time model.

Her family felt that the modeling industry was a mixed bag, and they would have been even more opposed if they had known she wanted to become an actress.

Her thoughts suddenly drifted back to what Shen Ci had said before, when he said he would consider letting her become a star after she came of age.

At the time, Zhang Ruonan didn't quite understand the deeper meaning of these words, but she gradually came to understand the reason behind them later.

However, as time went by, the incident gradually faded from her mind.

This phone call reminded her of the incident.

"That Shen Ci..." Zhang Ruonan said somewhat shyly, mustering her courage, "You said before that you wanted to be a star when you came of age..."

"Just kidding. Besides, the project I told you about starts filming in December. Won't you be an adult by then?"

Shen Ci's answer struck Zhang Ruonan as odd, but she couldn't quite put her finger on why.

However, at this moment, her heart was already filled with excitement, and she had no mind to dwell on these details.

"Yes, thank you so much!!" Zhang Ruonan said gratefully.

"It's okay, just let me know before you come and I'll pick you up," Shen Ci said.

"Okay, I'll dry my feet first, they're all white from soaking."

Zhang Ruonan looked down at her feet and toes, which had turned white from being soaked in the basin, and then remembered that she was still soaking her feet.

"Okay, contact me anytime if anything comes up," Shen Ci said.

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Ruonan hurriedly dried her feet, then bent down to pick up the basin to pour out the water, and rushed back to the bedside.

She used both her hands and feet to climb the bed ladder, sat on the bed, picked up the doll next to her pillow, hugged it to her chest, and rested her chin on the doll's head.

Become a star, act in movies!!

Which girl hasn't had such fantasies while watching TV as a child?

Zhang Ruonan never imagined that such good fortune would befall her.

She didn't get into a professional art school; she just went to an ordinary school that couldn't be more ordinary.

But then she unexpectedly met Shen Ci and their paths crossed. Now, everything seems like a dream.

She couldn't help but exclaim that even TV dramas probably wouldn't dare to portray this kind of plot!

Why is Shen Ci so good to me?

She was self-aware of her appearance and had no other complicated thoughts.

I'm absolutely certain that Shen Ci likes me!

Thinking of Shen Ci's appearance and how good he was to her, Zhang Ruonan shyly hugged the doll even tighter.

She had never been in a relationship before, and Shen Ci, this overpowered guy, was simply irresistible to her!

After finishing his call, Shen Ci didn't rest; he started a video call with Na Zha.

Once the video call connected, Naza started talking about visiting the set again, being completely candid and undisguised.

That passionate advance fueled Shen Ci's burning desire, and in the end, he agreed.

The two set the date for their visit to the set for the 15th.

Shen Ci secretly wondered what might happen between him and Nazha after he went there.

After setting the date for the set visit, Shen Ci called Lin Xin and asked her to help arrange his time and book his flight.

After receiving the instructions, Lin Xin immediately began to postpone some of Shen Ci's recent work.

After making the arrangements, she called Shen Ci to let him know everything was settled, and then asked, "Mr. Shen, should I go with him?"

"No need, you just keep an eye on the documentary!"

Taking Lin Xin along was insane; he didn't want a third wheel around.

Seeing this, Lin Xin replied, "Okay." The documentary was a new project that Shen Ci had recently assigned her to be in charge of.

Among the 300 million yuan budget was a project to create a documentary.

Shen Ci asked Lin Xin to plan and follow up on the documentary "Pozi Street Police Station," which would later become a huge hit on Bilibili.

These kinds of documentaries are rare nowadays, but they do have an audience.

Shen Ci didn't expect the documentary to be a huge hit, but he hoped that the project would help his company's employees develop their skills.

If only the documentary could garner some positive reviews...

Outsiders will feel that Tencent is innovative and sincere in its content creation, and at least it will gain a good reputation.

Contacting relevant departments is a key part of this documentary, and Shen Ci has always pursued efficiency in his work.

He contacted his uncle to help him make the connection.

Only after confirming that her uncle's project was feasible did Shen Ci feel at ease enough to arrange for Lin Xin to take over.

Once it's confirmed, the relevant departments will cooperate actively, and things won't be too complicated.

All Lin Xin had to do was arrange the company's planners, directors, and photographers, which was relatively simple.
