Huayu: Rising from Tencent

Chapter 85 The Mad Couple, Shen Ci Has Arrived in Hengdian

The host stepped onto the stage and immediately began to deliver those familiar platitudes...

Phrases such as "May we join hands to create new glories" and "I sincerely thank everyone for their hard work" are used.

At first, the scene was a bit noisy, but as the host spoke, the atmosphere gradually quieted down.

When the host mentioned the next performing guests, the atmosphere in the room seemed to ignite and instantly warm up!

Kara was the first to take the stage, bringing her signature butt dance.

But the group that truly ignited the atmosphere was AOA, a girl group known for their sexy image.

Their choreography perfectly showcased this style.

The hip-twisting, hair-flipping, and other highly seductive moves completely ignited the enthusiasm of the audience.

Blind Sister turned her head and glanced at Shen Ci beside her.

Shen Ci's eyes were fixed intently on the stage.

A strange sense of unease welled up inside Sister Xia, and she couldn't explain where this feeling came from.

Why is this guy so engrossed in watching? Are these girl group members really that attractive?

Amidst deafening cheers, AOA finished their performance and left the stage for a break.

Following that, two groups from SM Entertainment took to the stage one after another, delivering fantastic performances for the audience.

Finally, it was SNH48's turn to make a dazzling appearance.

To be honest, compared to the previous Korean groups, SNH48's performance was somewhat amateurish.

However, they mainly focus on a "cute" style, with adorable gestures such as winking, making heart shapes with their hands, and tilting their heads.

Many male employees at the scene were clearly powerless against this style, cheering enthusiastically and completely captivated.

After the guests finished their performances, Sun Huaizhong, as the head of Tencent Video, went on stage and delivered a speech.

This speech brought the annual meeting to a successful close.

However, after the annual meeting, there was one more important segment: the executives took a group photo with several female performing groups on stage.

Shen Ci was naturally present, and Xia Jie, as the only celebrity invited, was also in the group photo.

In addition to being photographed by a photographer, some employees who had not yet left also took out their phones to take pictures as a memento.

After taking the photos, they couldn't help but share them with their friends and family, and some even posted them online.

In the group photo, Sister Xia stood out from the crowd.

The reason is simple: everyone who sees the photo can't help but wonder, how did Sister Xia end up at someone else's annual party?

[Shishi actually went to Tencent's video annual meeting! Could it be a big collaboration? This is really exciting!!]

She's the only celebrity guest; that's really something.

Where is the old man?

Don't mention the old man; just seeing his name makes me sick.

【+1】

This topic has spread more and more widely, and Cai Yinong has also seen the related news.

Liu Shishi went to the annual meeting, such a big event, and she didn't even tell me?

"Shishi, what are you doing at that company's annual party? Who invited you?"

"Sister K, I'm just bored, I'm going to go check it out."

After Liu Shishi finished speaking, she immediately switched her phone to airplane mode, not wanting to be disturbed any further.

After doing all that, she turned to look at Shen Ci beside her.

Shen Ci was also on the phone, and Nazha was on the other end.

The two chatted for about ten minutes before Shen Ci made an excuse to end the call.

After hanging up the phone, he noticed Liu Shishi staring at him and couldn't help but ask, "Why are you looking at me like that?"

The blind woman frowned and said with a hint of reproach, "Naza trusted you so much, and you still lied to her."

Shen Ci was stunned for a moment, then shifted his gaze from the blind woman to the bed, feeling speechless.

Saying something like that in a hotel is utterly absurd!

"I can't be bothered to talk to you, let's get down to business."

Without saying a word, Shen Ci bent down and kissed the blind woman.

The blind woman closed her eyes and felt it; her hands, as if out of control, unconsciously wrapped around his waist.

As soon as the annual meeting ended, the two left together in tacit agreement.

Neither of them explicitly mentioned where they were going, but they both knew in their hearts that they were definitely going to the hotel.

That said, the old man also saw that group photo.

Upon seeing the blind woman and Shen Ci in the group photo, he slammed the cup in his hand to the ground, cursing, "You two are a pair of dogs!!!"

A few days after the annual meeting, the 25th arrived, and the third recording of "Go Fighting!" was officially completed.

After the first two attempts at working together, the members of "Men's Gang" are now becoming more and more adept at filming variety shows, and they are getting more and more enthusiastic as they film.

There was no way around it; this variety show was just too popular, bringing them immense attention.

After the first two recording sessions, the guests left immediately after filming.

But this time was different. The "Men's Gang" members, along with Yan Min, went to a restaurant together.

Shen Ci had previously mentioned that she would have dinner with the guests after the recording.

The filming location for "Go Fighting!" is in Shanghai.

After arriving by plane, Shen Ci took some time to visit the police station where the documentary was being filmed to check on the progress before heading to the hotel.

"President Shen."

"Hello, Mr. Shen, I am Zhang Bailian."

""

As soon as Shen Ci entered the private room, the people inside stood up and introduced themselves one by one with smiles.

Shen Ci responded to each greeting and then sat down in the main seat.

"Mr. Shen, now I realize how capable you are. I really shouldn't have hesitated about this project before."

Huang Bo has high emotional intelligence and is very good at speaking.

He raised his glass, beaming, and said to Shen Ci, "I'd like to propose a toast to you."

"You're too kind." Shen Ci clinked glasses with him and took a sip.

Others also raised their glasses to offer a toast.

Shen Ci knew that he was pressed for time today and had other things to do, so he could only stay here for a maximum of half an hour.

So we clinked glasses with everyone at once to avoid wasting time drinking one by one.

"Director Yan deserves much credit for the success of 'Go Fighting!', and all the teachers deserve equal credit as well."

"I hope everyone will continue to work hard to make the show even better!"

After finishing his drink, Shen Ci gave a brief speech without rambling on, and then began to eat.

Chef Huang is always very talkative at dinner parties.

Unfortunately, due to time constraints, he couldn't talk freely as usual after having a few drinks.

A meal passes in the blink of an eye.

After finishing his meal, Shen Ci took the initiative to get up and say goodbye.

Yan Min and several other guests were very hospitable and offered to see him out of the restaurant.

The hotel's parking lot is outdoors and is quite large.

Their group was quite large, and they attracted a lot of attention when they walked together.

Coincidentally, at the other end of the parking lot, there was another group of people, equally numerous and attracting the attention of onlookers.

And so, the two groups of people met head-on.

"Teacher Huang???"

"A knife???"

Huang Bo and Chef Huang looked at Zhao Xiaodao in the middle of the group of people coming towards them and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

Zhao Xiaodao was equally surprised, thinking to himself that it was such a coincidence that they were having a meal together.

She glanced around and instantly understood; it seemed to be a variety show gathering.

"Xiao Dao, are you eating?" Huang Bo asked.

"Yes." Zhao Xiaodao nodded.

Huang Bo seemed very enthusiastic, explaining to Zhao Xiaodao, "This is a variety show get-together; the boss has come to inspect."

"Oh?" Zhao Xiaodao looked at Yan Min and Shen Ci with curiosity.

"This is our CEO, Mr. Shen, who is in charge of Tencent Video's self-produced dramas," Yan Min introduced Shen Ci, meeting her gaze.

Shen Ci also found this chance encounter quite strange, as he seemed to always run into female celebrities.

Looking at Zhao Xiaodao's chubby face, Shen Ci silently commented in his heart that this person did not meet his aesthetic standards.

"Mr. Shen, hello, I'm Xiaodao."

Zhao Xiaodao walked up to Shen Ci and extended his hand enthusiastically, his eyes carrying a hint of gossip.

She guessed that the young man was the CEO Shen from Tencent that the old man had mentioned before, and Pony Ma's nephew.

"Hello, Teacher Zhao."

Shen Ci politely shook hands with her, then, noticing Zhao Xiaodao's gaze, couldn't help but ask, "You know me?"

"No, this is my first time meeting you, Mr. Shen. I just find you to be incredibly young."

Zhao Xiaodao quickly came up with an excuse, which was, of course, her true feelings.

Damn, Sister Xia is eating too well!

Shen Ci nodded and didn't say anything more. He was in a hurry to catch a plane and fly directly to Hengdian.

He had already planned to spend four days in Hengdian: two days with Nazar and two days with Zhang Ruonan.

He told Zhang Ruonan that he was going to Hengdian the day after tomorrow, but told Nazha that he was going back to Beijing the day after tomorrow.

The schedule must be carefully planned; Hengdian is only so big...

If the two of them were to accidentally bump into each other, it wouldn't just be an awkward situation.

Upon arriving at the airport, it was just time to board. Shen Ci hurriedly boarded the plane.

A little over an hour later, the plane landed safely in Hangzhou.

Naza had sent an assistant to pick him up at the airport. Shen Ci saw the person as soon as he got off the train, and without saying much, he got into the car.

There is still a considerable distance between Hangzhou and Hengdian, and it takes several hours to travel by car.

As the car drove smoothly on the road, Shen Ci's phone suddenly rang. It was a call from Yu Zheng.

The fat man asked him when he would have time.

"The fifth of next month, around that time."

"No problem, you can rest assured. I will arrange everything carefully to ensure your comfort and utmost satisfaction!"

"Um----"

Shen Ci responded. It would be ridiculous if Li Yitong behaved like any other girl.

The thought of Li Yitong instantly brought her alluring image to Shen Ci's mind.

Unfortunately, her figure is rather ordinary.

The car sped along and arrived in Hengdian two hours later, then drove into the filming location of "God of War Zhao Yun".

"Mr. Shen, Naza is filming right now, would you like to go and check on him?" Naza's assistant asked.

Shen Ci originally planned to wait quietly in the car, but upon hearing this, he thought that he had not yet seen Na Zha filming, so he nodded in agreement.

Upon hearing this, the assistant's face lit up with joy. He quickly opened the car door, got out of the car, and waited respectfully for Shen Ci to get out.

Shen Ci's appearance attracted the attention of the crew.

He was already handsome and tall, and today he was wearing a black overcoat with his hair combed back, revealing his entire forehead.

To be honest, compared to Lin Gou in the cast, Shen Ci's handsomeness is on a whole different level.

At this moment, the actors waiting in the wings were sitting in twos and threes on folding chairs.

Some were intently rehearsing their lines, while others were looking down at their phones.

Shen Ci's appearance made them look up.

Lim Yoona was sitting on a small stool, intently holding the script and memorizing her lines.

Her Chinese wasn't very fluent, and the script was covered with Korean phonetic transcriptions.

Sensing something amiss in the atmosphere around her, she looked up in confusion, following everyone's gaze—

I spotted the man in the black overcoat at a glance.

She tilted her head and asked Meng Ziyi beside her in broken Chinese, "Who is that person?"

Meng Ziyi looked at Shen Ci and shook his head, saying, "I don't know him."

Although he said that, he knew very well what was going on in his heart.

Damn, he's even more handsome in person than in the videos, exuding a unique charisma.

Meng Ziyi couldn't help but wonder to herself, where did Nazha find such an excellent boyfriend?

Naza had seen Shen Ci long ago, but she was too busy filming to get away.

At this point, filming ended, and the director yelled "Cut!"

Naza immediately lifted the hem of her ancient costume and ran towards Shen Ci, calling out in a clear, sweet voice, "Husband~"
