Huayu: Rising from Tencent

"During the two days you flew to South Korea, Su Yujiang, the executive producer of 'The Perfect Bride,' arranged to meet with me."

"I told her that only you can make the final decision on this matter. Su Yujiang also asked me to pass on a message to you, saying she would like to arrange a meeting with you."

Han Zijie paused, a hint of hesitation flashing in his eyes, but decided to keep the matter of bringing up Li Qin a secret.

At the time, he was only thinking about flattering Shen Ci, but now he is worried that Shen Ci will think he has made decisions on his own.

"Li Lin!" Upon hearing this, Shen Ci understood who Han Zijie was referring to when he said "peace and prosperity for the country."

Han Zijie quickly replied, "It's her, Mr. Shen. Would you like to meet her?"

Shen Ci said half-jokingly, "What did Su Jiangyu give you to make you so eager to pass on her message?"

"No, Mr. Shen, really no!" Han Zijie cried out inwardly, feeling utterly wronged, and hurriedly explained:

"She's the one who asked me out; I'm just relaying the information truthfully."

Shen Ci waved his hand and said with a smile, "It was just a casual remark, don't take it to heart."

Seeing that Shen Ci did not seem angry, Han Zijie's tense expression gradually relaxed.

"Mr. Shen, I've called them and rejected the offer!"

"Okay, Mr. Han, you can go ahead and get busy."

Seeing this, Han Zijie quickly took out a cigarette and respectfully lit one for Shen Ci before taking his leave.

You meant well but ended up doing something wrong!

He really couldn't understand how Shen Ci had suddenly become such a virtuous gentleman.

He knew that Sun Huaizhong had asked Mao Xiaotong to go find Shen Ci, and Shen Ci had not refused.

Could it be that Shen Ci looks down on Li Lin?

It wasn't that Shen Ci looked down on her; Li Lin's appearance was different from that of ordinary female stars—she was dignified and elegant.

But the "Perfect Bride" project was really terrible, and Shen Ci really didn't want it.

He wouldn't rashly approve this project just to have a meal or play cards with Li Lin.

To actually do that would be incredibly foolish.

Besides, if Shen Ci really wanted to get to know Li Lin, he had plenty of other ways; he didn't need to go through this.

After leaving Shen Ci's office, Han Zijie immediately called Su Jiangyu, his attitude appearing exceptionally firm.

"President Su, we have carefully evaluated 'The Perfect Bride' internally again, and ultimately decided to maintain the original plan."

"Is this still President Shen's idea? Didn't President Han say before that he could let Li Qinhe..."

Before she could finish speaking, Han Zijie interrupted her: "President Shen isn't the kind of person who can't resist a woman."

Hold! ! !

Su Jiangyu almost cursed out loud. Han Zijie, that bastard, would have been a complete two-faced person decades ago!

Given the current situation, she had no choice but to give up and convey Tencent's message to her subordinates.

Everyone else who heard this was extremely upset.

Only Li Lin felt a huge weight lifted from his heart.

These past few days, Li Lin has been living in constant fear, terrified of receiving a phone call informing her to "have dinner" with that CEO Shen.

It seems that this Mr. Shen is truly a gentleman.

This, on the contrary, aroused a sense of curiosity in Li Qin. People like Shen Ci are indeed rare in the entertainment industry!

As a "good person," Shen Ci did not forget her promise to Reba.

He had previously told Dilraba that he would meet her after returning from South Korea.

After learning about this, Dilraba set the meeting time for today.

To show her sincerity, she even brought homemade wine from her hometown.

The restaurant we chose was located in a courtyard house, with an elegant and sophisticated ambiance.

When Shen Ci arrived, Reba had already ordered the food.

"Mr. Shen, I'm Reba."

When Dilraba saw Shen Ci, she reached out her hand and her eyes lit up. She secretly admired how handsome Shen Ci was.

"Hello." Shen Ci politely shook hands with her.

His gaze, however, fell upon Dilraba's attire. In the October weather, she was wearing a one-sided strapless bodycon dress.

The dress perfectly showcased Dilraba's shoulders, neck, and collarbone, with one side of her breasts slightly exposed, revealing her figure in every detail.

It must be said that Dilraba has a truly stunning figure.

Despite her daring outfit, she didn't cover her chest with one hand, indicating that she took this meeting very seriously.

"I had seen your photos in the news before, but seeing you in person, I realized that the photos didn't capture your charm at all."

Dilraba smiled sweetly, her lips as sweet as honey.

Shen Ci chuckled at her words and replied, "Teacher Reba is even more beautiful than I imagined."

"No, no~" Dilraba said modestly, but couldn't hide the smile in her eyes, and waved her hand.

"Please have a seat, the dishes have just been served and are still warm."

Shen Ci didn't stand on ceremony with her. After nodding in acknowledgment, he pulled out a chair and sat down.

"Most of the specialties here are vegetarian, but I also ordered quite a few meat dishes. You must try them later."

As Reba spoke, she began to open the bottles of wine she had brought.

Shen Ci's attention was instantly drawn to the wine, and he asked curiously, "Is this a specialty of your hometown?"

"Yes, it's homemade." Reba poured herself a glass of wine, handed it to Shen Ci, and poured one for herself as well.

Shen Ci picked up his wine glass, sniffed it, and a rich aroma of wine wafted up. He couldn't help but praise, "It smells quite good."

"President Shen!"

Reba raised her glass, her expression earnest: "Thank you so much for speaking up for me regarding 'Carat'!"

"I just think you're perfect for that role." Shen Ci clinked glasses with her and then took a sip of his drink.

Reba quickly took a sip and then asked, "Have you seen any of my TV dramas before?"

"Gu Jian is quite popular." Shen Ci replied perfunctorily, then picked up a piece of the signature dish with his chopsticks and put it in his mouth.

Dilraba took the initiative to pick up a piece of food and put it on Shen Ci's plate.

However, Shen Ci didn't touch that dish again after that.

The signature dishes here are mostly vegetarian, but Shen Ci is a complete carnivore and has no interest in eating grass.

"Swords of Legends is indeed very popular. Thanks to this drama, Yang Mi has received many more offers."

Reba noticed Shen Ci's actions but didn't point it out. Instead, she followed up the topic and started talking about "Gu Jian Qi Tan".

Shen Ci simply nodded without saying a word.

This left Dilraba feeling somewhat helpless, as mentioning Yang Mi was something she had done intentionally.

Shen Ci mentioned it during the phone call earlier!

Seeing this, she immediately changed the subject.

"Mr. Shen, you and Nazar seem to know each other quite well? The project she's currently filming in Hengdian, is it with your company?"

"You're quite well-informed."

"Haha, no, no, as you know, there are no secrets in this industry."

Before coming, Reba made a special inquiry and learned that Naza was working on a project at Tencent.

Naturally, they also learned about the connection between Shen Ci and Nazha!

No wonder Shen Ci asked himself if he knew Nazha.

"What's your relationship with Naza?" Reba stared intently at Shen Ci, unable to resist asking gossip.

Upon hearing this, Shen Ci glanced at her, then subconsciously looked down, inwardly sighing, "So fair-skinned."

There was nothing she could do; at that moment, Reba's chest was pressed against the edge of the table, half of her fair breasts being squeezed...

Such a scene is hard to miss.

Reba saw Shen Ci's little actions but didn't find them disgusting. Instead, she thought he knew how to appreciate things.

Shen Ci is handsome, even more so than male celebrities, and has an extraordinary background. More importantly, he once helped me.

Before coming, Reba was worried that Shen Ci might try to take advantage of her at the dinner party.

In retrospect, Shen Ci is a very gentlemanly person.

"Are you that gossipy?" Shen Ci asked with a smile after looking away.

Reba shook her head innocently.

"I'm just a little curious. You asked me before if I knew Nazar, so I wanted to ask."

"Because I've seen her before, and people with your looks are relatively rare in the industry, I just asked casually," Shen Ci said.

Reba didn't completely believe what he said, but she didn't ask any more questions. She simply raised her glass and toasted Shen Ci again.

Shen Ci clinked glasses with her and then began to eat the food seriously. The specialty here was vegetarian, but the meat dishes were also quite good.
