Huayu: Rising from Tencent

Chapter 98, the zombie drama, is terrible; Zhou Ye and Zhang Jingyi

An internal announcement had an impact far exceeding Tencent's expectations.

When the online buzz reached its peak, Tencent Shenzhen quickly released an announcement.

First, it was confirmed that Shen Ci is indeed a relative of the company's founder, and more importantly...

The announcement emphasized that Shen Ci's promotion was entirely in accordance with the company's rigorous performance evaluation system and there was absolutely no special channel involved.

As soon as the announcement was released, the online "entertainers" who love to watch the drama immediately became active.

[Yes, yes, he definitely got promoted based on his abilities [doge emoji]]

[...]

Tencent did not pay much attention to these comments.

Tencent not only issued a public announcement but also gave internal instructions, explicitly requiring company employees not to discuss the matter any further.

Tencent has launched an internal investigation into the employee who posted the screenshot of the internal network online.

Once verified, the result will inevitably be direct dismissal, and the employee will also have to bear corresponding compensation for violating company rules.

Fortunately, this incident did not affect the company's stock price.

Within two or three days, the online buzz was gradually replaced by other new things, and news about Shen Ci slowly faded away.

The main problem is that Shen Ci doesn't have a Weibo account, so netizens who want to follow him can't find a way to do so.

These past few days, Shen Ci has been driven crazy by the constant phone calls.

He originally only wanted to work behind the scenes, but this unexpected event completely disrupted his plans!

Only now has Seven truly and completely accepted her boyfriend's identity, and she feels a strange sense of joy.

On the day Shen Ci's identity was exposed, Xiao Baiyan, urged by her mother Wang Haiyan, took the initiative to send a message to Shen Ci.

Wang Haiyan couldn't contain her excitement upon learning Shen Ci's identity.

Even if Shen Ci is a scumbag, his daughter's connection with someone from such a background might actually lead to a good future for her!

Wang Churan was much calmer than her mother, only thinking to herself, "This scumbag is actually Little Ma's nephew!"

Lin Xin had already figured out the ins and outs of Ju Jingyi's matter the day before yesterday, and did not rush to report it to Shen Ci.

After clarifying the situation, Lin Xin conducted a series of in-depth investigations to ensure that there were no oversights.

Only today did she report this to Shen Ci.

"I used him as a shield, and Principal Wang, as a man, felt he lost face, so he posted on Weibo?"

Shen Ci found it utterly absurd.

What a ridiculous, brain-dead reason!

"Yes, Mr. Shen."

Seeing Shen Ci's displeasure, Lin Xin unconsciously lowered her voice a few decibels and continued to talk about Siba's attitude.

"Siba has sent Ju Jingyi to apologize to you in person. She'll be here in the next few days. Mr. Shen, do you... want to see her?"

"Heh," Shen Ci chuckled lightly, then countered, "See me? Why not?"

He really wanted to see how "Iron Crotch" would react to him!

Shen Ci now directly blames Ju Jingyi for the reason why his identity was exposed.

After Lin Xin finished her report, she took her leave. She walked as quietly as possible, and slowly opened the door when she reached it.

Outside the door stood a woman, holding a thermos in her hand, with a gentle smile on her face.

"Teacher Naza..."

"7

When Lin Xin saw who it was, she was so frightened that she almost lost her soul.

Why didn't you give us any advance notice? Who let you in?!

Shen Ci heard Lin Xin's voice, looked towards the door, and sure enough saw that Zha. He frowned.

"Hello, Secretary Lin~"

Naza greeted Lin Xin with a big smile, then turned her gaze to Shen Ci and held up the insulated box in her hand.

I cooked a meal, thinking of giving it to you.

After saying that, she walked past Lin Xin and into the office.

Lin Xin closed the door and went out. It's good that he came; the "Young Master" is in a bad mood, and maybe Naza can comfort him.

Shen Ci watched the door close, then turned his gaze to Naza and said, "Why didn't you even say goodbye before coming?"

"Honey~"

Naza slipped over to Shen Ci's side, her voice filled with grievance.

"I was so bored at home alone, and I thought since you haven't tried my cooking yet, I wanted to let you have a taste."

Hearing her soft, sweet voice, Shen Ci's anger dissipated somewhat, and his tone softened.

"At least say hello. How did you get in?"

Naza was delighted to see his voice soften, as she had been worried that the young man would blame her for coming so abruptly.

"I took off my mask and showed it to the receptionist, and told her that I was her girlfriend, and then the receptionist brought me up."

"Really? What did you make? Let me see?" Shen Ci turned his gaze to the lunchbox.

However, in his heart, he thought that the receptionist's work ethics were really too poor, and it seemed that she should be fired.

"These are all dishes from my hometown."

Naza placed the lunchbox on the coffee table, removed the lid, and revealed three dishes, all meat, each with an enticing color.

Shen Ci asked with a hint of suspicion, "You did this?"

"Hehe," Naza stuck out his tongue, "I asked someone for help, but I was involved in the whole cooking process."

Shen Ci couldn't help but laugh, reached out and ruffled her hair, and said, "Sit down and rest for a while."

"Okay, honey, you should try it."

Naza opened the box containing the food, then took out a pair of chopsticks from his bag and placed them on the coffee table.

"How does it taste, honey?"

"It's nice, please sit down, why are you standing?"

"Could I sit in your boss's chair for a while? I've never sat in a chair like this before."

Shen Ci glanced at her and smiled, "Go ahead."

Upon hearing this, Naza kissed Shen Ci on the cheek, ran to the chair behind the desk, and plopped down in it.

"What brand is it? It's so soft!"

Naza secretly compared the chair in Cai Yinong's office to this one, finding them worlds apart.

"I'm not too sure either, it's all purchased by the company," Shen Ci replied, swallowing the food in his mouth.

Naza looked curiously at both sides of the chair, trying to find the brand logo.

However, after searching for a long time, I couldn't find any logo, which was quite disappointing.

Then, her gaze shifted to her boyfriend's desk, finally settling on the computer screen.

Several projects are being displayed on the computer screen.

Seeing that Shen Ci was still eating, Na Zha narrowed his eyes slightly and secretly glanced at the computer screen.

On the screen were two zombie drama projects. The screenwriters had already completed the outlines, and Shen Ci was reviewing them.

Naza was engrossed in watching, and Shen Ci naturally noticed her little movements. After he finished eating, he went to her side.

"How do you feel?" Shen Ci asked softly.

"Ah!" Naza was startled by the sudden sound and almost jumped off the chair.

"What do you think of this project?" Shen Ci gently placed his hand on the back of her neck and massaged it.

Seeing that Shen Ci wasn't angry, Zha Zha felt even more that the little man was becoming increasingly tolerant of her!

"It's pretty good, it looks very promising. Zombie themes are very popular right now, and there aren't many of these in China!"

"Hmm, would you like to participate?"

"Honey, I already have a project! It's the 'Legend of Nine Tails Fox' that Sister K got for me, you know about it, right?"

Naza opened her arms and wrapped them around Shen Ci's waist, gently placing her hands on his stomach as she looked up at him.

Shen Ci pressed further, "Are you sure you don't want to perform?"

"Mmm," Naza responded sweetly, "Honey, let's talk about it again when there's a project that's more suitable for me."

Shen Ci couldn't help but laugh, thinking to himself, "This Naza has finally told the truth!"

I originally thought that Naza had changed her mind, but now it seems that she looks down on this zombie-themed project!

Naza's thoughts were actually similar to Shen Ci's guess.

Putting aside the audience for this type of subject matter, the most important thing is that she thinks this is definitely a small project.

In her opinion, zombie movies are often poorly made.

The huge success of "The Romance of Tiger and Rose" was purely an exception; Naza doesn't believe her luck will always be this good!

"Honey, you have to get me a super-large project in the future!" Naza said half-jokingly.

Shen Ci reached out and scratched her nose.

Naza, don't regret it later. Since she made her own choice, she can't blame anyone else.

Naza stayed in the office until Shen Ci got off work, and then the two returned to the hotel together.

The next day, Shen Ci returned to the company as usual. Not long after he sat down, Li Eryun came to his door.

"Mr. Shen, the copyright for 'The Girls' High School' has been finalized with the South Korean side."

"The script needs to be finished quickly and delivered to me by the end of this month," Shen Ci instructed.

The script has a ready-made blueprint; it's not complicated as long as some settings are changed to suit the domestic situation.

"Okay," Li Eryun replied, and when asked about the choice of director, she said, "I have a suitable candidate in mind."

"Oh, who is it?" Shen Ci asked with great interest.

"Director Qin Zhen is 34 years old this year."

Li Eryun explained in detail: "She studied in South Korea and has an in-depth understanding of Korean horror films."

"She just finished filming a movie called 'Twins'."

"I've met with this director and seen some of her short films; the overall style leans towards a cool color palette..."

'

"Moreover, she is very good at capturing that unique, ambiguous atmosphere of young girls, which I think is very suitable for the 'High School Girls' project."

Shen Ci pondered for a moment and then nodded.

"Then she's the one. You can handle the details. As for the female lead, there's no need to rush."

97

Shen Ci had an impression of Qin Zhen; he remembered that Qin Zhen would direct "Chang Xiang Si" and "Bai Ri Ti Deng" in the future.

Shen Ci plans to personally decide on the female lead for the project "Whispering Corridors".

When he first started this project, he also had some of his own little hobbies.

The cast of the "Whispering Corridors" series definitely needs to be young.

In an instant, the image of a pair of strikingly similar twins flashed into his mind—Zhou and Zhang Jingyi!

The two are about the same age and look somewhat alike. It would be really fun to have them participate in this project.

Of the four episodes, the two starred in "Fox Stairs," the episode with the most pseudo-lesbian elements.

As for the others, Shen Ci thought of twin female stars; there were quite a few, such as Li Yitong and Li Lin, etc., all of whom would be suitable...
