Huayu: Rising from Tencent

In December, preparations for "Chef Fang" gradually began.

Before the actors officially joined the crew, the poster shoot became the most crucial task at the moment.

With only a few days left before the poster shoot, Li Eryun created a group chat and invited all the main members of the production team to join.

The group chat was newly created, and the atmosphere was exceptionally lively, with Li Xiaojiang, Xiao Zhan, and other actors chatting.

Zhang Ruonan, the female lead, only posted two or three messages after being tagged by many people.

This attitude led those who didn't know her well to speculate whether the girl was putting on airs.

It's hard to understand why an ordinary person could be so "aloof" like a big star.

However, everyone only murmured these thoughts to themselves, and no one dared to say them out loud.

Everyone knows that Zhang Ruonan was cast as the female lead without even going through an interview.

Wang Churan, being young, took the initiative to add Zhang Ruonan as a friend, hoping to get along well with the female lead on set.

In this drama, besides Zhang Ruonan, there is another actress who plays a significant role and is older than the other.

In Wang Churan's view, they didn't have much in common.

As for adding friends of the opposite sex, Wang Churan had never even considered it, unless that person was Shen Ci.

Shen Ci's appearance was deeply etched in Wang Churan's memory; she thought Shen Ci was a handsome and capable older brother.

Zhang Ruonan has never been able to chat with people she doesn't know well.

She would only start talking after they had become quite familiar with each other.

Therefore, she did not participate much in the group discussion.

Wang Churan's initiative to add her as a friend was quite unexpected.

Upon learning that Wang Churan was only fifteen years old, Zhang Ruonan automatically assumed the role of the older sister and accepted the friend request.

"Sister Ruonan, it's me, Churan~.~.~"

"Hello, Chu Ran!"

When Zhang Ruonan saw Wang Churan's message, she thought of her two younger sisters and how they used emoticons when they chatted.

A feeling of elder sisterly care welled up within her, and Zhang Ruonan took the initiative to send some comforting words.

"When the filming starts, if you encounter any difficulties or don't understand something, Churan, you can tell me."

"I'm a newbie too, let's work hard together!!"

Wang Churan rolled her eyes as she looked at the two messages.

She called Zhang Ruonan "sister" out of politeness, but she didn't expect Zhang Ruonan to take advantage of the situation so readily.

"Thank you for your concern, Sister Ruonan. You're so kind!"

Wang Churan is somewhat ambitious but lacks practical skills. Zhang Ruonan is, after all, the female lead, and she knows she should go along with what the other party says.

Moreover, her mother, Wang Haiyan, had specifically instructed her to be polite to everyone on set.

To be honest, Wang Churan felt a little proud, because she was an actress personally chosen by Shen Ci!

Shen Ci's high status unconsciously gave her the idea that she was a relative of someone with connections.

The more Wang Churan thought about it, the more he couldn't suppress the urge to show off.

Wang Churan: "Sister Ruonan, do you know President Shen?"

Zhang Ruonan: "I know, so what?"

Wang Churan: "Sister, I'm telling you this, but don't tell anyone else, I was chosen by President Shen to act in this drama."

Zhang Ruonan: "...Really? That's amazing!"

Wang Churan: "Hehe, and there's also the talent agency. I'll be signing with President Shen's agency in the future."

Zhang Ruonan: "Really?"

Wang Churan: "Mmm!!"

Zhang Ruonan couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh as she read the message.

These little brats are just like her sister; they both love to show off.

She decided not to reveal her relationship with Shen Ci, nor to mention that she and Wang Churan would be in the same company in the future.

He was thinking that he would tease this cute little brat properly after Wang Churan found out the truth.

Zhang Ruonan's childlike innocence and mischievousness were awakened.

Meanwhile, filming for "Go Fighting!" had been going on for five days, but has now been temporarily suspended.

Two episodes were filmed over the course of five days.

The South Korean editing team is working intensively on post-production, and Yan Min has specially arranged for someone to oversee it.

Yan Min also organized a special meeting to review what everyone had learned during the filming process.

After the meeting, he compiled a detailed table and submitted it to Shen Ci.

After seeing the form, Shen Ci gave full affirmation and praise to Yan Min's work.

The matter of Shen Ci selecting an IP has also come to a conclusion.

Two days ago, after careful selection, he submitted the finalized list of IPs to China Literature Group.

He summoned Lin Xin and put her in charge of liaising with Yuewen.

Lin Xin has been back at the company for a few days, but she has been busy with other matters, and Shen Ci has not had a chance to meet with her yet.

Upon seeing Lin Xin, Shen Ci couldn't help but tease his secretary, "How did the blind date go? Did it work out?"

Lin Xin had just picked up a stack of documents and was about to leave when she heard Shen Ci's words and stopped in her tracks.

"Uh... I've met a few, but none of them were suitable."

Lin Xin told the truth without hiding anything.

Shen Ci asked curiously, "How many did you see? You've been on vacation for such a long time."

"Not many," Lin Xin glanced at Shen Ci and said helplessly, "only seven in total."

"One a day!" Shen Ci exclaimed in surprise, then shamelessly added, "After spending so much time with me, your standards naturally rise."

Upon hearing this, Lin Xin was momentarily at a loss for words.

Shen Ci continued to joke, "If you're going to look for someone, look for someone like me."

After saying that, he stopped teasing his secretary and waved for her to go back to her work.

To be honest, Shen Ci found it quite amusing to tease Lin Xin, who was a bit older, occasionally.

Today, Shen Ci still has to keep her appointment with Reba.

He instructed the driver to prepare the car, tidied up his desk, turned off the computer, and then left.

Considering he needed to exercise, Shen Ci first returned to the hotel, changed into a tracksuit, and put on a black coat over it.

The two decided to meet at a tennis club in Haidian District. The club was large and had more than a dozen courts.

After arriving at the club, Shen Ci sent a message to Reba.

A few minutes later, he saw a figure jogging over, her bun bobbing on her head.

"Mr. Shen, it's been a long time!"

Reba greeted him, then looked Shen Ci up and down, covering her mouth and laughing: "We're wearing the same clothes!"

The two were dressed almost identically, both wearing long black coats over sportswear.

The only difference is that Dilraba paired her outfit with a sporty mini skirt, revealing a section of her fair and slender calves.

Shen Ci looked at her and praised, "Very beautiful."

"President Shen is handsome too!" Dilraba replied casually, shaking the racket bag in her hand. "Want to play a few games?"

"Sure," Shen Ci readily agreed.

During his time studying abroad, Shen Ci participated in various sports, including equestrianism, tennis, and golf.

While not exactly a professional, his fundamentals are solid, making him more than capable of handling amateur tennis games like this.

Dilraba's outfit was quite impressive; her racket bag was a limited edition from a certain brand, and she had professional sweatbands wrapped around her hands.

Shen Ci initially thought she was a skilled player, but after a few games, he realized that this was not the case.

This hot bar belongs to the type of "students with many bad stationery items".

Another serve was powerfully swung by Hotbar, sending the ball flying and crashing into the side netting.

"This shouldn't have happened, it was a slip of the hand!"

Reba shouted as he ran over to retrieve the ball.

Shen Ci slammed his racket on the ground and teased, "You said the same thing in the last game."

"I really didn't play well in the game before that!" Reba argued unwillingly.

"We only played two rounds," Shen Ci exposed her.

Reba picked up the ball and ran back to the court, then pouted at Shen Ci and said, "I'm still warming up."

Shen Ci was too lazy to argue and waved his hand: "Serve."

Reba squeezed the ball in his hand, patted it on the ground, and assumed a seemingly standard ready position.

Then, the ball was served...

However, the ball grazed the net and landed on their own side of the court.
