Huayu: Rising from Tencent

Lin Xin accompanied Zhang Ruonan on a joyful journey.

She managed to snag several designer bags and clothes for free during the day's shopping.

When she first went to pick up Zhang Ruonan, she was genuinely surprised by the way Zhang Ruonan walked, but that surprise was fleeting.

As darkness fell, Lin Xin escorted Zhang Ruonan back to her hotel, and then gave Shen Ci a detailed report on the day's events.

After the report, Lin Xin sighed inwardly. It was truly enviable that Zhang Ruonan, at such a young age, was living off a woman.

Shen Ci and Long Danni talked for several hours. After finishing their business, they went out for a meal together.

Afterwards, Shen Ci returned to the company and handled some more matters before ending her busy day.

After finishing his work, Shen Ci naturally headed to where Zhang Ruonan was.

From that day until Zhang Ruonan returned to Hangzhou, Shen Ci stayed by her side every day without fail for several days in a row.

Over the next two days, Zhang Ruonan recovered and learned a lot under Shen Ci's patient guidance.

Zhang Ruonan has a strong learning ability, and Shen Ci is very satisfied with her speed in absorbing new knowledge.

However, she has a somewhat shy personality...

Whenever she was with Shen Ci, she would often unconsciously lower her head, and sometimes she would not even utter a sound.

Shen Ci felt that the revolution was not yet successful and that continued efforts were needed!

For Zhang Ruonan, this trip to Beijing was incredibly fruitful, not only because she gained a boyfriend...

She successfully obtained the script for "Chef Fang," and even the initial payment for the series had been deposited into her bank account.

She felt there was no need to hide the fact that she was filming from her family; the truth would eventually come out.

But she plans to keep her boyfriend a secret for the time being, as Zhang Ruonan knows her parents' personalities all too well.

As the start date for filming "Fang Da Chu" approaches, the actors' contracts have been signed one after another.

Accompanied by her mother, Wang Churan returned to Beijing. This time, their destination was Tencent Video.

Wang Haiyan does not object to her daughter's dream of becoming an actress.

She even secretly planned that if her daughter really went down this path, she would personally act as her agent.

The entertainment industry is a mixed bag, and she was worried that something might happen to her daughter.

The person in charge of receiving the mother and daughter was Li Eryun.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Li Eryun led them to Shen Ci's office.

On the way, they happened to run into Lin Xin.

Lin Xin smiled and nodded politely, her gaze lingering on Wang Churan for a few moments.

This little girl is developing so well...

The mother and daughter followed Li Eryun to Shen Ci's office. Upon seeing Shen Ci, their eyes widened involuntarily.

Wang Haiyan was surprised to find that Shen Ci was so young.

Wang Churan's eyes lit up. So handsome!!!

When Shen Ci first met Wang Churan in person, he had to admit that she was strikingly beautiful.

The image of the future "eye-rolling girl" flashed through his mind, and he even felt a little curious to see her roll her eyes.

Considering that Wang Churan's mother was right beside him and that she was still young, Shen Ci naturally restrained his thoughts.

I dared not look too long, nor say anything more.

He was afraid of causing unnecessary misunderstandings and making people think that he had some strange fetish.

"Normally, you don't need to come here to sign a contract, but I specially invited Aunt Wang this time because there's something I want to discuss."

"Mr. Shen, please feel free to speak."

"Ahem." Shen Ci coughed lightly, looking at Wang Churan.

At this moment, Wang Churan was staring at him intently, her eyes filled with curiosity and anticipation.

"We at Tencent will soon be collaborating to establish a talent agency to cultivate our own artists."

"Does Mr. Shen want Churan to join your company?"

Wang Churan was overjoyed upon hearing this.

Wang Haiyan was filled with doubt, not understanding why her daughter was valued so highly.

Judging from Shen Ci's demeanor, he clearly values ​​Wang Churan quite a bit.

"If I may ask, does Mr. Shen think highly of Chu Ran?"

Shen Ci explained calmly:

"It's not that I'm particularly optimistic about it personally, but the company needs artists of all ages to build a diversified system for development."

Upon hearing this, Wang Churan felt somewhat dissatisfied and subconsciously pouted.

What do you mean by not having faith in me? I'm clearly that outstanding!

Her little actions naturally did not escape Shen Ci's eyes. Shen Ci chuckled to himself, thinking that this little brat had quite a strong personality.

In comparison, even Zhang Ruonan's personality wasn't as bold as this timid girl.

After listening to Shen Ci's explanation, Wang Haiyan glanced at her daughter and said, "Chu Ran, please go out for a moment."

"Mom..." Wang Churan said somewhat reluctantly.

Shen Ci said gently, "Listen to me, go out first."

Wang Churan glanced at Shen Ci, then at the resolute Wang Haiyan, and reluctantly stood up.

Once outside, she didn't go far. Instead, she leaned against the wall by the door and put her ear close to the door panel.

She felt a little flustered, though she couldn't quite put her finger on what she was worried about.

After the door closed, Wang Haiyan's expression became serious.

"Mr. Shen, since you're so frank, I won't stand on ceremony with you. Chu Ran has been obsessed with acting since he was a child."

"Her father and I divorced when she was very young."

"This child is precocious, but also has a somewhat stubborn personality and is not easy to get along with."

After speaking, Wang Haiyan stood up, faced Shen Ci, and bowed deeply.

"Mr. Shen, my daughter and I appreciate your kindness, and we are very grateful."

Shen Ci quickly got up, reached out and supported Wang Haiyan's arm, helping her up.

"Aunt Wang, please don't be so polite. The company is just starting out. Let's work together to develop and achieve mutual benefit."

Wang Haiyan straightened up, looked at Shen Ci with gentle eyes, and nodded.

She looked at Shen Ci and found him increasingly pleasing to the eye. He was not only young and promising, but also handsome and generous.

Shen Ci withdrew his hand, a thought flashing through his mind.

The mom who rolled her eyes was quite charming...

"That's settled then. Li Eryun will follow up with you on the specifics of the contract later."

"Okay, thank you, Mr. Shen."

Wang Haiyan politely said goodbye, walked to the door, opened it, and saw Wang Churan eavesdropping by the door.

"What are you standing there for? Let's go."

Wang Haiyan patted Wang Churan and led her outside.

Wang Churan followed her mother obediently and asked curiously, "Mom, what were you and that boy talking about just now?"

"What brother?" Wang Haiyan's expression turned serious as she said earnestly, "He's the boss!"

"Oh, oh..." Wang Churan responded perfunctorily.

In her heart, she still felt that Shen Ci was both handsome and approachable, and inexplicably like an older brother.

Wang Haiyan continued, "I just finished talking with President Shen and we've decided to sign with this agency."

"Really?" Wang Churan perked up instantly.

"Really," Wang Haiyan said earnestly, looking at her daughter, "you'd better be more obedient from now on, okay?"

Wang Churan reached out and hugged her mother, saying sweetly, "I've always been very obedient!!"

The mother and daughter then went to Li Eryun's office, mainly to handle matters related to contract signing.

Wang Haiyan also specifically inquired about some information regarding the brokerage company.

Since Wajijiwaji has not yet been officially established, Li Eryun told them the truth and said she would contact them as soon as possible.

Hearing these words, Wang Haiyan felt much more at ease.

After signing the contract, the mother and daughter prepared to leave.

Wang Churan had finally come to the capital, so naturally she wanted to have some fun. After leaving the company, she started pestering her mother for help.

Unable to refuse Wang Churan's request, Wang Haiyan decided to stay in Beijing for two more days and take her daughter on a trip.
