Huayu 16: I Became the Dream-Fulfilling Master for Young Actresses

But Chen Xingzhou's behavior today suggests he won't stop until he's completely confused, and who knows what strange things he might do.

"What? You've changed your mind? It's too late now."

Chen Xingzhou pinned her down, staring intently at her with a teasing smile on his lips, and reached behind her to unbutton her clothes.

Meng Ziyi's little head suddenly lit up with a brilliant idea, and she immediately spoke up:

"Wait, wait! Ah Zhou, stop! I have something important to tell you! Much more important than this!"

She quickly pressed down on Chen Xingzhou's hand as he unhooked her strapless top, grabbed his arm and shook it, saying coquettishly:

"I heard from Xiaoye! You're filming a new drama! It's the one about e-sports! I want to act in it too! I want to be the second female lead, is that okay?"

She tilted her head slightly, her lips, painted with bright red lipstick, pouting slightly:

"I know you signed Bai Mengyan, and Xiao Ye is still your assistant, but I have more experience than them!"

"Please give me a chance! I'll agree to anything you ask later... okay?"

Chen Xingzhou raised an eyebrow.

In "Go Go Squid!", the official second female lead is Ai Qing, since she has her own romantic storyline and backstory.

However, most viewers think that the female lead's best friend, Sun Yaya, is...

The character Ai Qing is career-oriented, keeps her personal and professional life separate, is principled, and is efficient and capable. She often appears with short hair.

This is different from Meng Ziyi's bright and charming appearance, and immaturity.

Actually, this problem is not difficult to solve.

Seeing him frown and deep in thought, Meng Ziyi assumed he was worried about something else and spoke again:

"Ah Zhou, are you worried about my company? I've already terminated my contract. I'll show you the contract, okay?"

"You terminated your contract?"

Chen Xingzhou came to his senses and was somewhat surprised.

For Meng Ziyi, the termination fee was mostly a small matter.

But he really didn't expect Meng Ziyi to suddenly terminate the contract.

"Yeah, Zhou, you can rest assured now, right? And... if your 'A Love So Beautiful' really becomes a hit after it airs, then... I'll bring my own investment to join the cast, okay?"

"I don't want any share of the profits, I just want the role..." Meng Ziyi nuzzled his neck, her voice pleading.

"Aren't you afraid of falling?"

"I trust you."

Chen Xingzhou ran his fingers along her thigh, his eyes full of laughter.

Meng Ziyi provided him with a lot of financial assistance last time, and this time he's bringing his own funding to join the project.

This isn't just his juicer, it's a lucky charm!

It would be really unfair not to give her a role.

"That's possible... but now that you've exhausted your excuses, shouldn't you keep your promise?"

Chen Xingzhou leaned close to her ear, took her earlobe in his mouth, and chuckled.

Meng Ziyi trembled, the sheets crumpled in her grip, and the fear in her eyes deepened, but she still managed a soft "hmm".

"Ah, Ah Zhou, come on..."

……

Morning light streamed through the villa's floor-to-ceiling windows, bathing the soft bedding in its warmth, and the room was filled with the delicate scent of gardenias and...

Chen Xingzhou looked down at the person in his arms who was trembling from time to time, and listened to her mumbled aggrieved words that she would not dare to do it again next time. He couldn't help but smile.

He really didn't hold back last night, he really messed with me, and he even kept his promise from WeChat.

However, this is the only way to deal with Meng Ziyi, otherwise, who knows how he might provoke him next time.

"Will you dare to do it again next time?" Chen Xingzhou teased in a low voice.

Perhaps startled by his voice, Meng Ziyi's eyelashes trembled, and she slowly opened her eyes.

Her head was still a little dizzy, and her whole body was sore and weak. She could only lift her hand slightly, and her body felt sore and burning.

Seeing Chen Xingzhou looking at her, she let out a muffled groan, filled with deep grievance:

"Ah Zhou...it's all your fault...you went too far...I...I feel like I can't get out of bed for the past two days..."

"Hehe, I wonder who provoked me on WeChat before."

Meng Ziyi blushed and immediately lowered his head.

She didn't actually want to provoke Chen Xingzhou, but he was always so busy that he wouldn't come unless she provoked him.

After a moment of silence, she looked up and asked earnestly, "So, the role of the second female lead in the new drama, is it really for me? You won't go back on your word, will you?"

Chen Xingzhou nodded. "I can give you the role, but to be honest, the style of this role is different from yours."

He then proceeded to explain the differences between the two.

However, Meng Ziyi was most concerned about one of the sentences: "He should cut his hair short."

She paused, then subconsciously touched her long, smooth hair, a hint of heartache flashing in her eyes.

Yesterday, Chen Xingzhou said he liked her hair, and he even grabbed her two buns...

But the thought of playing the second female lead, acting alongside Chen Xingzhou, and riding on the popularity of the drama made her grit her teeth and nod immediately:

"I'm fine with it! I'll get a haircut! I'll do whatever you say!"

"I am free now and I will follow your arrangements completely. I am not bound by anyone. You can't replace me just because my temperament doesn't match."

Chen Xingzhou found it amusing to see her so afraid of being replaced: "Just register under my studio's name."

"Really?" Meng Ziyi's eyes lit up instantly. Ignoring her sore body, she propped herself up from his arms and looked at him.

"Would you be willing to sign me to your studio?"

"Hmm," Chen Xingzhou replied casually, "We just happen to be lacking a mature and radiant actress."

Receiving a positive reply and Chen Xingzhou's "mature and radiant" evaluation of her, Meng Ziyi was overjoyed.

She forgot her grievances from last night, leaned forward, and gently pecked him on the corner of his lips.

"Then I'll definitely listen to you and do my best in filming from now on, and I'll never hold you back~".

As she spoke, she snuggled back into his arms and whispered, "Luckily I terminated my contract, luckily I met you... I'll be filming with you from now on."

Chen Xingzhou looked down at her nestled in his arms like a little bird, and sighed inwardly.

She is both a clingy little devil and a money-giving boy who is willing to spend money on him.

Giving him a supporting role is indeed reasonable.

He definitely didn't agree because Meng Ziyi was a money-giving boy.

……

In a quiet coffee shop in Chaoyang District, Chen Xingzhou arrived fifteen minutes earlier than the agreed time.

Zhou Ye sat next to him, looking worried.

"Senior, will Professor Mo Bao Fei Bao really sell the copyright to us? I heard that several companies are in contact with her, including big companies like Huace. It seems like we're not competitive enough."

"Copyright negotiations are not necessarily more advantageous the larger the company is."

"Huace buys copyrights to reserve intellectual property, and they may not release them for several years."

"I'm going to auction it this year. For the artist, the priority of having their work auctioned off in a timely manner is more important than the size of the buyer's company."

Zhou Ye nodded thoughtfully, and just as he was about to ask something else, the wind chimes at the door rang.

A woman carrying a canvas bag walked in.

It is calligraphy, not a treasure.
