Huayu: Rising from Tencent

"How could you even say something like that!"

Shen Ci thought the older sister in front of him was introverted, but he didn't expect her to be so shameless.

"That's the truth." Liu Shishi's voice unconsciously lowered as she was told that.

She glanced at Shen Ci again, just as Shen Ci was staring intently at her, and their eyes met instantly.

Liu Shishi quickly lowered her head and wiped her eyes with her hand.

Most men have a chivalrous and protective nature towards women.

She can act too!

"Heh." Shen Ci chuckled softly and asked, "Do they need to have a meal with you before they'll help?"

Liu Shishi nodded like a chick pecking at rice.

Her appearance, coupled with her outfit today, inexplicably stirred a strange feeling in Shen Ci's heart.

She wore a beige knit top with a turtleneck sweater underneath, and high-waisted wide-leg pants on the bottom.

Liu Shishi has always had a delicate and plain appearance, and this outfit really brings out her unique temperament.

To give an analogy, she is like a fresh lily, exuding a faint fragrance.

Shen Ci admired it to himself for a moment, then finished his cigarette and stubbed it out in the ashtray.

He then walked to the sofa and sat down next to her.

He didn't sit next to Liu Shishi; there was a few centimeters between them.

Liu Shishi, however, seemed completely unconcerned about the distance.

She gently lifted her bottom and quickly moved to sit close to Shen Ci.

After completing this series of actions, she seemed to feel it wasn't enough, and naturally wrapped her arms around his.

Please help me, okay?

Shen Ci's gaze fell on her face, and he asked with a half-smile, "I remember, you seemed to be planning to leave Sugar Man, right?"

"Yes," Liu Shishi replied softly.

"Then why are you so bothered?" Shen Ci was genuinely confused. "Do you really treat the sugar figurines like your own home?"

Liu Shishi pursed her lips, about to speak, when she felt a tickle in her nose, as if snot was about to flow out.

Her expression changed, and she quickly released Shen Ci's arm, reached for a tissue on the coffee table, and wiped her nose.

A hint of disdain flashed across Shen Ci's face; she lacked any of the elegance a female celebrity should have!

After wiping her nose, Liu Shishi casually threw the tissue into the trash can, only then noticing the disgusted expression on Shen Ci's face.

In an instant, she felt a burning sensation on her face.

To divert attention, Liu Shishi quickly answered Shen Ci's question.

"Sister K is very kind to me. If it weren't for her, I would never have been able to enter the acting industry."

After speaking, she paused slightly, her expression becoming extremely serious, and added a sentence.

"I want to leave without any regrets!"

"Just don't leave," Shen Ci teased her.

"I....."

Liu Shishi was speechless and stared at Shen Ci. Seeing that she couldn't win the argument, she decided to use her ultimate move.

She took a deep breath, located Shen Ci's lips, closed her eyes, leaned in, and wanted to kiss him.

However, the expected soft touch did not occur.

Instead, a large hand precisely covered her mouth.

Liu Shishi opened her eyes and saw Shen Ci covering her mouth with his hand, his face full of disgust.

"Did you blow your nose clean? It's filthy!"

Liu Shishi almost rolled her eyes, reached out and shoved Shen Ci's hand away, saying irritably, "Dry it up!!"

"Is that so?" Shen Ci drawled out his words.

That bitch, she's absolutely despicable! She only just mustered up the courage to kiss me!

Liu Shishi shook her head inwardly. She still needed their help, so she forced a smile and said:

"I think I left something at your hotel. Can I go check on it now?"

This reason left Shen Ci speechless. He stopped joking and nodded.

Once you've established a solid foundation, then you can discuss other things.

Shen Ci knew that he was indeed somewhat lecherous, and he didn't want to argue about it.

If you're given a second chance at life and don't know how to enjoy it, you've wasted your life!

A few minutes later, Shen Ci arranged the car, neatly shut down the computer, and completed the task in one smooth motion.

After finishing all that, he nodded to Liu Shishi.

Liu Shishi understood immediately, took out a mask and hat from her bag, put them on, slung her bag over her shoulder, and followed behind Shen Ci.

There were hardly any people in the corridor at that moment, and the elevator was also empty.

This undisturbed environment allowed Liu Shishi to relax her tense nerves a little.

As a public figure, she was genuinely afraid of being recognized and causing unnecessary trouble.

After the two got into the car, the driver started the car and drove towards the parking lot exit.

Shen Ci stretched out his arm and naturally put his arm around Liu Shishi, pulling her slightly closer to him.

Liu Shishi leaned her head against Shen Ci's arm, her hair brushing against his arm and tickling him a little.

The car smoothly drove out of the underground parking lot and merged into the bustling main road.

At the very moment the car entered the main road, a taxi pulled up to the side of the road.

The car door opened, and a woman wearing a mask got out.

It was none other than Naza!

As soon as Naza got off the plane, she couldn't wait to take a taxi straight to the office building where Tencent Video was located.

She took a small mirror out of her bag, carefully examined herself, and made sure her makeup and styling were perfect...

Only then did he stride confidently toward the office building.

But as soon as she entered the office building lobby, Naza was dumbfounded. She then remembered that the office building required visitor information to be registered.

There are other companies in this building, and the management is strict.

Left with no other choice, Naza pulled out her phone and quickly swiped through her contacts, preparing to call Shen Ci.

Regardless, my sudden arrival must be a pleasant surprise for Shen Ci!

While making the call, Naza walked out of the office building and went to a relatively secluded, deserted corner.

The call was answered as soon as I got there.

"Shen Ci, I'm here!!"

As soon as those words left her mouth, she felt it wasn't enough, and before Shen Ci could reply, she immediately switched to a sweet and cloying tone:

"I rushed here as soon as I got off the plane, wanting to surprise you. Come down and pick me up, I've missed you so much~"

Liu Shishi was all too familiar with Na Zha's voice.

A smile played on her lips, her eyes gleaming with amusement as she watched Shen Ci with keen interest.

Shen Ci was truly helpless. This guy, Naza, came without warning, and it was such a coincidence.

He composed himself and said calmly, "I'm meeting with someone outside, not at the company."

Liu Shishi rolled her eyes. Men, indeed, are all so glib and smooth-talking.

Shen Ci noticed Liu Shishi's little movements and subtly reached out to pinch her cheek.

Liu Shishi almost cried out, but fortunately she reacted quickly and managed to hold it in.

She glared at Shen Ci, her eyes full of anger.
