Huayu: Rising from Tencent

Chapter 76 Blind Sister: You're just a Ximen Qing!

"Mr. Shen, I'm so sorry to bother you!"

"What's up?"

"No, it's nothing serious. I'm just asking you about the 'Shu Shang Zhan Ji' project. I was thinking of inviting Xiao Dao to have dinner with you."

"There's absolutely no need for that!"

Shen Ci refused without hesitation; Zhao Xiaodao's appearance did not meet his aesthetic standards at all.

The sudden phone call, coupled with the old man's strange, drunken tone, left Shen Ci completely bewildered.

Is this guy completely drunk?

"Absolutely! I'm planning to have dinner with Xiaodao in the next couple of days, you absolutely have to come!"

The old man gritted his teeth and persisted, trying to regain some dignity from this seemingly enthusiastic invitation.

Shen Ci snapped impatiently, "Idiot, are you?"

This wake-up call brought the old man back to his senses. He felt a pang of bitterness and could only prepare to apologize.

Before he could even speak, the phone beeped, and Shen Ci hung up.

Shen Ci was too lazy to waste words. Thinking about the old man's puzzling appearance just now, he felt it was getting stranger and stranger.

He took out a cigarette, lit it, and started smoking. The image of Sister Xia flashed through his mind. He found her phone number and dialed it.

To Shen Ci's surprise, the call was answered immediately.

"What's up?"

The blind woman spoke first, her voice terribly hoarse.

Shen Ci noticed something was wrong and asked, "What's wrong with your throat?"

The blind woman reached up and touched her throat, a bitter smile creeping onto her face.

What can we do?

Of course I cried!

An old man came to their door and caused a scene. When the parents found out, they were biased towards their daughter, but they were worried that such a shameful thing would get out...

The elderly couple were so embarrassed that they couldn't help but scold her.

Sister Xia understood that with time, her parents might be able to let go of their resentment, but right now, she felt as if she were in hell.

When Shen Ci, the person involved, called, she wanted to scold him, but she didn't know where to begin.

After thinking it over, she replied in a sarcastic tone.

"What's wrong with your throat? Don't you know?"

"What you're saying is nonsensical. The old man just called me too, and it was equally nonsensical."

Upon hearing this, the blind woman's eyes widened, and she asked excitedly, "Grandpa called you? What did he say?"

"Just saying some nonsensical things," Shen Ci replied vaguely, then pressed, "What's wrong with you guys?"

After he said that, the other end of the phone went silent. Shen Ci flicked his cigarette ash and was about to take another drag...

But he found that the cigarette was almost burned down to the butt, so he stubbed it out in the ashtray, making a "sizzling" sound.

"My...uncle...my house, your uncle came by." After a long silence, the blind woman finally spoke with difficulty.

Shen Ci said impatiently, "Don't play the riddle-maker."

"The old man knows about what happened between you and me. He found the medicine that was left at the pharmacy."

A sense of indifference, like "what's the use of trying?" welled up in Sister Xia's mind, and she blurted out the whole story.

"He asked me who that man was, but I didn't say. Then he came to my house and told my parents about it."

"I had no choice but to tell you your name."

"Waaaaah... My parents keep scolding me, I really can't help it, I feel so bad, waaaaah..."

In the end, Sister Xia burst into tears.

Shen Ci felt a mix of emotions after hearing this.

He recalled the old man's submissive tone on the phone and couldn't help but curse under his breath.

Damn, this guy really is a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle!

"How are you and Grandpa doing now?" Shen Ci asked this crucial question.

When the matter was discovered, he didn't react much.

Anyway, if the old man hadn't provoked him first at the sugar figurine shop, how could things have turned out this way?

Thinking about it this way, the old man really brought it on himself!

The blind woman sniffled and said in a tearful voice, "I don't know, I really don't know."

"Haven't you thought about it?" Shen Ci pressed, while also revealing his own thoughts, "I can help."

"Help?" The blind woman's crying subsided slightly.

"Yes, I'll help." Shen Ci's tone was firm. "I can help you get rid of him and make him leave you cleanly."

As soon as he said that, Shen Ci heard a busy tone on the other end of the phone. He looked down and saw that the call had been disconnected.

"Sigh, it's really hard to be a good person!"

Shen Ci sighed softly. He had meant well for the blind woman, but he hadn't expected her to be so ungrateful.

The blind woman on the other end of the phone was crying so hard she could hardly breathe.

Already feeling miserable, she was now enraged by Shen Ci's words, to the point that she felt like dying.

What help? What discipline of the old man?

If she really did as Shen Ci said, she would become like Pan Jinlian!

And Shen Ci just became Ximen Qing!

"Ding-dong~"

The phone next to the bed beeped with a message notification.

Blind Sister was in a bad mood and had no time to pay attention, so she thought it was another message from Shen Ci.

After a while, she gradually calmed down and reached for her phone to check.

"Shishi, what happened between you and Grandpa? To be honest, Sister K will always be on your side."

"Sugarman will always be your home, Shishi! Stay at Sugarman, our Shishi will always be number one!"

Upon seeing Cai Yinong's message, Sister Xia was first taken aback, then burst into laughter in anger.

What time is it? Instead of calling to check on her situation, he's still nagging her to stay at Tangren.

Blind Sister cursed inwardly, "Go to hell!"

The current state of sugar figurines is vastly different from their glorious era in the millennium.

If described using a stock market chart, it would be a continuous decline with no sign of ever rising.

Newcomers to the company are almost exclusively limited to acting in self-produced web dramas, with no opportunity to be involved in other high-quality projects.

As the potential queen of the sugar figurine industry, Naza has some influence in the market, but she is also quite helpless.

She has never been able to secure big projects, and even now, she sometimes has to play a supporting role and be a foil for others.

After filming "The Romance of Tiger and Rose", Cai Yinong secured several opportunities for her, but they all ultimately came to nothing.

She finally managed to land a big project, but she wasn't cast as the lead; she was a supporting actress.

This supporting actress is still playing Diao Chan.

The project offered a very generous fee, and Cai Yinong accepted the role after careful consideration.

In any case, when it comes to publicizing it, just say that Nazar made a cameo appearance.

"Honey, I'm so annoyed! K-jie lets me take on all sorts of projects, and now she wants me to be a supporting character for some Korean guy!"

Naza is preparing to join the cast of "God of War Zhao Yun".

This project is scheduled to start on January 1st, which means we only have about ten days to go.

Cai Yinong was filled with frustration about taking on this role and couldn't help but confide in Shen Ci.

"Diao Chan, one of the Four Beauties, having you play her is just a way of praising your good looks," Shen Ci teased.

"I'm good-looking!"

Naza said something narcissistic, then sighed helplessly.

"But if someone's good-looking, they should be playing the female lead!"

Shen Ci smiled and said, "Lim Yoona is also very beautiful."

"Please don't do this, I feel so uncomfortable right now!!"

Naza was speechless, not understanding why her little man was teasing her at this time, without considering her feelings.

"Hahaha." Shen Ci laughed and quickly said, "Alright, alright, I'll come visit you on set later."

Upon hearing this, Naza's eyes lit up instantly, and she asked with delight, "Really?"

"Really." Shen Ci mentioned the specific time, "I'll come see you after my annual meeting is over."

"Then it's settled!" Naza said happily.

After saying that, she added coquettishly, "Honey, don't let those girl groups dazzle you."

Shen Ci had previously discussed inviting a girl group to the annual meeting with Na Zha Ti.

She was joking on the surface, but she was actually a little worried inside.

Her boyfriend is handsome, rich, and has a powerful background. What woman could resist such a man?

If Shen Ci were to become completely infatuated with a girl group member and she were to throw herself into his arms, that would be absolutely terrible!

Shen Ci replied, "No problem, don't worry."

Hearing Shen Ci's affirmative answer, the worry in her heart was relieved a lot, and her mood improved.

Shen Ci had a secret plan in mind when it came to visiting the set.

"God of War Zhao Zilong" was filmed in Hengdian, and "Fang Da Chu" was also filmed in Hengdian.

In this way, he could visit Zhang Ruonan at the same time as visiting Nazha on set, which was a perfect way to kill two birds with one stone.

The actors of "Fang Da Chu" have all arrived in Hengdian one after another, with Wang Chu Ran arriving two days early.

Zhang Ruonan arrived at the film set right on time.

It took her a long time to complete the procedures to get leave from school.

The news that she was going to film a TV series has spread like wildfire throughout the school, making her the focus of attention on campus.

Unable to bear the harassment any longer, Zhang Ruonan had no choice but to temporarily disable all contact methods.

There was nothing she could do; she already had quite a few people adding her.

Now that the news has spread, people wanting to add her as a friend are flooding in.

The school's online forums and similar platforms are now almost entirely dominated by news about Zhang Ruonan.

Upon arriving in Hengdian, Zhang Ruonan checked into a hotel as arranged by the film crew.

Coincidentally, her neighbors were the Wang mother and daughter.

The following day, filming officially began for "Chef Fang"!

The incense-burning and worship ceremony at the opening ceremony was a first for both Zhang Ruonan and Wang Churan.

After the ceremony, the entire crew had a lively dinner together.

Filming will officially begin tomorrow, so this can be considered a "pre-battle mobilization" before filming starts.

As soon as Zhang Ruonan returned to the hotel, she called Shen Ci and reported everything that had happened that day to him in detail.

"Get some rest. I'll visit you on set when the new year starts," Shen Ci said gently.

Zhang Ruonan replied sweetly, "Okay, then I'll wait for my brother to come."

"Mmm, go to sleep now, have a good night's rest."

", "6

"Mua, mua!"

Without hesitation, Zhang Ruonan kissed the phone twice.

Now, she's no longer shy about kissing through a screen; she's practically immune to it.
