Huayu: Rising from Tencent

The trip to South Korea lasted only one day and one night.

Shen Ci simply carried a bag containing only a change of clothes, making it easy for her to travel.

Before leaving, he gave Lin Xin detailed instructions, telling her to contact him immediately if there were any important matters.

After confirming that everything was arranged properly, he boarded the plane with peace of mind.

He was on a Korean Air flight, and the flight attendants' hairstyles and distinctive uniforms were quite pleasing to the eye.

The flight attendant in first class, after her gaze fell on Shen Ci, thought to herself that this man was just as handsome as the members of EXO.

During the flight, the flight attendants were exceptionally attentive, asking Shen Ci if he needed anything. Their service was almost obsequious.

The other passengers were speechless.

Both tickets cost a considerable sum to purchase first-class tickets, yet the services received are drastically different.

After the plane landed smoothly, Shen Ci packed his belongings and prepared to disembark.

As he walked to the cabin door, the exceptionally enthusiastic flight attendant slipped a small note into his hand when no one was looking.

Shen Ci has always been quite satisfied with his appearance; handsome people are never short of female admirers, no matter where they go.

He didn't pay much attention to the little note and casually threw it into the trash can.

Although the flight attendant was beautiful, without the added advantage of her status, she didn't interest him at all; he was only interested in female celebrities.

At the airport arrival area, Sun Yalou stared at the automatic doors, carefully identifying each person who walked out.

When he saw Shen Ci's familiar figure appear, he quickly and enthusiastically waved to him.

Shen Ci noticed this and walked towards him.

"Mr. Shen, you must be tired from your journey. I am Sun Yalou, the person in charge of liaising with MBC."

As Sun Yalou spoke, he reached out to take Shen Ci's backpack, his face beaming with smiles.

Shen Ci stepped aside and said, "I'll take it; it's not heavy."

"Okay, okay." Sun Yalou nodded quickly, showing no embarrassment at being rejected. "I'll take you to the hotel."

"Thank you for your hard work," Shen Ci replied with a smile.

Sun Yalou quickly waved his hand and said, "Of course, Mr. Shen, please don't say that."

He knew Shen Ci's identity clearly and could not afford to be negligent.

She was secretly planning to take advantage of this day to get as close as possible to this "young master"!

The two got into the car, which drove towards the hotel.

Looking out the car window at the scenery, Shen Ci felt that it was nothing special and nothing out of the ordinary.

He turned his gaze away and looked at Sun Yalou, who was sitting to the side.

"Are you based in South Korea, or did you come from Shenzhen?"

"I'm from Shenzhen, and I spent some time in South Korea, so Mr. Ren asked me to come here to handle the negotiations."

When will the contract be signed?

"Tomorrow, MBC is treating you to a meal. The contract will be signed on the spot. They've even specially arranged Korean set meals for you."

Shen Ci frowned and repeated, "Han Set Meal?"

Sun Yalou quickly explained in detail: "You can think of it as similar to the Manchu Han Imperial Feast in China."

Shen Ci chuckled. Although he had never eaten it before, he was sure that kimchi would be a staple in Korean set meals.

"What about the central bank?" Shen Ci suddenly remembered the central bank's role in this project.

"It hasn't been signed yet," Sun Yalou smiled. "Their people have all gone back and are waiting for their superiors to approve it."

Shen Ci shook his head upon hearing this.

"We at Tencent are so flexible in our work. Mr. Shen, you even made a personal trip. If it were CCTV, I wouldn't even dare to imagine it."

Sun Yalou seized the opportunity to flatter him, and Shen Ci thought the flattery was quite well done.

The car drove for more than forty minutes before finally arriving at its destination, the Shilla Hotel.

This hotel was booked by MBC and is reportedly owned by Lee Seung-seo, a four-star hotel chain.

Speaking of which, Four Star Li and Little Ma look somewhat alike.

After helping Shen Ci with the check-in procedures and settling him in, Sun Yalou took his leave so as not to disturb Shen Ci's rest.

"Mr. Shen, I'll pick you up tomorrow!"

"it is good."

Seeing this, Sun Yalou closed the door and left the room.

Shen Ci felt a little thirsty, so after drinking some water, he went to the bedroom and lay down on the bed.

He took out his phone and first sent a message to Nazha, informing her that he had landed safely.

After posting, I thought of Zhang Ruonan again.

His younger sister also knew he was coming to Korea, so she sent her the same message.

Naza was filming and didn't reply to the message immediately.

Zhang Ruonan replied immediately.

"What's it like in South Korea?"

Shen Ci walked to the French windows, casually snapped a photo, sent it to Zhang Ruonan, and replied, "That's it."

Zhang Ruonan: "Haha, I've never been abroad before."

Shen Ci: "Let's go out and have fun sometime."

Zhang Ruonan: "Really??"

Shen Ci: "Why would I lie to you?"

Zhang Ruonan: "Thank you, brother! You're the best!"

The way young girls act coquettishly has a completely different charm compared to older girls.

This cheap "sex" sister is actually quite fun.

After ending the chat, Shen Ci picked up the landline on the bedside table and ordered food according to the menu placed in the room.

About half an hour later, the food was brought in. After eating, Shen Ci took a nap.

I slept for a while, then was woken up by a phone call from Naza.

After the call was connected, Naza's voice came through the receiver, and the two talked for more than two hours.

After hanging up the phone, Shen Ci took a bath to relax, then went back to bed and fell asleep early.

Back in China, Shen Ci had previously rejected a project called "The Perfect Bride".

The project team was naturally unwilling to sit idly by and wait for their demise.

So, taking the male and female leads with her, she found Han Zijie and booked a private room at a high-end restaurant in an attempt to salvage the situation.

Originally, when the project was being prepared for filming, it was Tencent that took the initiative to approach the project team of "The Perfect Bride".

The project team behind "The Perfect Bride" therefore rejected offers from other video platforms.

But now Tencent has suddenly backed out, which the project team feels is simply outrageous.

In this way, they'll lose a lot of money for nothing!

In the eyes of entertainment companies, internet companies are like suckers, similar to coal bosses in the early 2000s.

However, coal mine owners simply throw money at projects, while internet companies not only spend money but also like to interfere in projects.

"Mr. Han, you really can't do this! We agreed on everything before filming started, why did you suddenly change your mind!"

In the private room, in addition to Han Zijie, Li Lin, and Jin Shijia, the project's chief producer, Su Yujiang, was also present.

Su Yujiang is quite well-known in the industry; she has created a very famous project.

That's Zhao Xiaodao's "Shan Shan Comes".

Upon hearing Su Jiangyu's words, Li Lin glanced at Han Zijie before continuing to eat her food.

She didn't really care about this, since she had already finished filming her scenes and received her payment.

Although she dislikes these kinds of occasions, being in the entertainment industry often means she has no choice in the matter.
