Huayu: Rising from Tencent

Chapter 91 Goodbye Gu Man; Reba's mood was in turmoil.

Gu Man rushed to Tencent Video the next day.

This time, she learned her lesson and didn't dare bring Yang V along again.

Upon seeing Shen Ci, she was about to apologize for what happened last time when she was interrupted by him.

"Let's not say anything more. I'm curious, does Professor Gu really like Yang W to that extent?"

"President Shen!"

Gu Man's expression was serious, her eyes filled with determination.

"W is really handsome. Compared to other male celebrities, he has a unique charm that is completely different."

Shen Ci clicked his tongue in amazement, thinking to himself that anyone unaware of the situation would think this person had been subjected to some kind of evil magic.

Gu Man's infatuation with Yang W is even greater than Na Zha's initial adoration for her.

"Yang W will act for free, and Professor Gu, all your future novels will be adapted by Tencent. Is that condition still in place?"

Shen Ci steered the conversation back to the main topic, fixing his gaze on Gu Man.

To be honest, Tencent Video really got a great deal with these conditions.

"Yes." Gu Man finished speaking, her voice unconsciously lowering slightly, "However, two of the novels have already been adapted."

Shen Ci nodded and said, "I understand. I mean that Tencent should give priority to Teacher Gu's future major works, what do you think?"

"If Mr. Shen doesn't trust me, how about we write a contract?" Gu Man countered.

Drafting a contract?

This was exactly what Shen Ci wanted; he couldn't have asked for more!

He immediately instructed Lin Xin to prepare the contract.

A dozen minutes later, two carefully drafted contracts were neatly placed on the desk.

Gu Man stared at the two contracts in disbelief. The execution was simply incredible!

Shen Ci valued Gu Man so much because he knew that this older woman had extraordinary creative abilities.

Many well-known works, such as "My Sunshine" and "Boss & Me," are written by her.

Now that Yang W is willing to act for free, it saves a lot of money.

Once the project airs, the return on investment will definitely be substantial, and all the data will be impressive!

Gu Man took the initiative to sign the contract, so she didn't hesitate and signed her name decisively.

After signing, she called Yang W to share the good news.

"Sister, thank you for everything. You've been working so hard for me these past few days, I'm exhausted. I don't know how to repay you."

"It's okay, W. Let's meet up and have a meal together."

"Great, sis! I happen to have a bottle of good wine hidden away. I'll bring it over for you to try tonight!"

Yang W responded, her voice so sweet it was almost sickening.

If a straight man heard this coquettish tone right now, he probably wouldn't be able to resist kicking her on the spot.

With the details of "Love O2O" finalized, Shen Ci immediately began to consider the choice of the female lead.

Several people around him flashed through his mind.

He immediately passed on Naza and Reba, saying that these two would be incredibly out of place in urban settings.

There's also Zhang Ruonan, whose age and appearance are quite fitting for the role.

However, she is currently not famous and may not be able to carry the role of the female lead and boost the popularity of the entire drama.

Shen Ci thought of a certain crazy female celebrity again, but after a moment's thought, he decided to give up.

That crazy female celebrity's negative behavior was too egregious.

Although there may be even more outrageous people in the entertainment industry than her, they just haven't been exposed yet and the public doesn't know about them.

Yesterday, Shen Ci talked to Wang Juan about "Diamond Lover," and it happened today when he was leaving get off work...

Wang Juan knocked on Shen Ci's office door to inform him that the matter had been resolved.

Shen Ci was quite satisfied with the speed of the process.

"I spoke with General Manager Sun about this, and he reported it to headquarters yesterday. General Manager Ren has also learned of the situation."

Wang Juan recounted everything in detail.

"Ren personally called the Shenzhen headquarters and together with them put pressure on DMG's major shareholders."

"To be honest, this was something a senior executive at DMG did on his own, without the major shareholders knowing anything about it."

Shen Ci frowned, puzzled, and asked, "Was it done by the higher-ups?"

"right."

Wang Juan's face lit up with a gossipy expression as she enthusiastically explained.

"That high-ranking official had a relationship with a Korean actress..."

'

Upon hearing this, Shen Ci immediately understood why this situation had occurred.

It seems that Dilraba replaced that Korean actress, which triggered this controversy against her.

Wang Juan then explained the final outcome of the matter: "The major shareholder said that he would take some time in the next few days to personally bring that senior executive to apologize to you in person."

Shen Ci nodded slightly, without saying anything more, and he didn't plan to call Reba.

Anyway, Dilraba is on set, so she'll probably experience the changes firsthand soon.

This is much better than telling her by phone.

Maybe if Reba is moved, she'll develop even deeper feelings for him and want to sleep with him.

Shen Ci's sixth sense is really quite sharp!

Dilraba's affection for Shen Ci has now reached its peak!

Almost overnight, the atmosphere on set changed dramatically.

The director and other staff members were all very polite to her, with smiles on their faces!

When Tang Yan saw her, he changed his usual indifference. Although he didn't say anything, he was completely different from before.

Speaking of which, Tang Yan had received a call from that high-ranking official who asked her to be more indifferent to Reba.

Tang Yan agreed immediately, after all, in her opinion, Reba was completely unknown at the time and not worth mentioning at all.

Furthermore, Yang Mi, the owner of Dilraba, has always been someone Tang Yan deeply dislikes.

Dilraba's manager also noticed something unusual on set and, seizing an opportunity, privately inquired about the reason.

Dilraba has always been straightforward and doesn't hide anything, so she told her manager the truth.

The agent reported the matter to the company immediately. When Zeng Jia answered the phone, Yang Mi happened to be next to her.

After hanging up the phone, Zeng Jia said to Yang Mi, "The problem with Dilraba's film crew has been resolved."

"Really?" Yang Mi was slightly surprised. "How was it resolved? Did that bitch Tang Yan make a statement?"

Zeng Jia shook his head and said, "Reba made a phone call to Mr. Shen of Tencent Video."

Upon hearing this, Yang Mi's mouth opened slightly, and she asked curiously, "That CEO Shen is very young, and I heard he's quite handsome?"

"He's quite handsome, and has a very good presence."

Zeng Jia had never actually met Shen Ci in person; she learned all this information from Reba.

"Really?" Yang Mi's eyes flashed with curiosity, showing some interest in this President Shen.

After finishing filming, Dilraba immediately called Shen Ci to express her gratitude.

"Mr. Shen, you are absolutely amazing. I don't know how to thank you enough."

"I'll treat you to dinner as soon as I finish filming. Order whatever you like!"

"Naza is so lucky to have a boyfriend like you!"

Reba's words of gratitude were simple and unadorned, but Shen Ci felt something was off about the last sentence.

Shen Ci accepted Reba's invitation to dinner, and the two chatted for almost an hour before ending the call.

It was now the Spring Festival month of 2015, less than ten days away from the Spring Festival.

"Fang Da Chu" is expected to wrap up filming on the 30th, and this is the first time this year that Zhang Ruonan will not be able to go home for the Chinese New Year.

Her parents suggested bringing her younger sister and brother to the film set so the family could reunite and celebrate the Lunar New Year together.

Zhang Ruonan lied to her family, saying, "The production crew has a rule that if you don't agree, then forget it."

If his family really came, Shen Ci would definitely know.

She was afraid that Shen Ci would have a bad opinion of her because of this, or even look down on her!

Fortunately, she wasn't too bored during the Lunar New Year on set.

Wang Haiyan invited her to have dinner together on New Year's Day, and Zhang Ruonan naturally accepted with great joy.

Zhang Ruonan even called Shen Ci to share the news, her voice filled with barely suppressed joy.

The timing of the wrap-up of the filming of "God of War" was quite coincidental, as it happened to coincide with the Chinese New Year period.

Shen Ci told Nazha that he was going home for the Chinese New Year. After hearing this, Nazha coaxed her husband to stay in the capital and be with her.

Shen Ci simply replied, "I have to go to my uncle's house for the New Year."

Upon hearing this, Naza didn't know what to say.

Her only thought was, when will she be able to see "Little Ma"?

Shen Ci decided to buy the first house again.

He instructed Lin Xin to find a renovation company and have her coordinate with Nazha on related matters, happy to be a hands-off manager.

He had a great time with Li last time, and after taking a shower, Shen Ci found himself thinking of her inexplicably.

He was not one to hesitate, and after a moment's thought, he sent a message to Li Yitong.

"Do you have time? Come over here."

The two had exchanged contact information before, so communication was easy.

A short while later, Shen Ci received a reply from Li Yitong, which was just an "OK" emoji.

Upon seeing this reply, Shen Ci lay comfortably on the bed, quietly waiting for Li Yitong to arrive.

Li Yitong's alluring appearance was unforgettable, and when Shen Ci thought of her, he couldn't help but think of Li Qin.

Li Yitong and Li Lin are often said to look like twins, but their styles are completely different.

One exudes charm, while the other possesses a dignified air!

What a strange sight it would be if these two were sharing a bed.

Shen Ci remembered that Han Zijie had recommended Li Lin to him because of the project "The Perfect Bride".

At that time, he felt that the project was of poor quality, and he was also going to South Korea to sleep with Koreans, so he had no interest in it.

However, the more he thought about it, the more interesting it seemed.

That's just how people are sometimes; they always find themselves unexpectedly developing a new interest in things they used to take for granted.

To put it bluntly, it's a "self-deprecating" mentality.
