Huayu: Live a carefree life

On September 30, Tencent issued an internal announcement regarding the establishment of the PCG Business Group (Platform and Content Business Group) and related personnel appointments and removals.

Ren Yuxin, COO of Tencent headquarters, will serve as the president of the business group. Among the three vice presidents, Lu Jie is the youngest. Looking at his resume, no one can argue with him. He is exceptionally capable and also holds 1.5% of Tencent's shares. He is more than qualified to be the vice president of the business group.

In addition, Tencent also announced that Lu Jie would serve as the president of Weishi. Soon, these two news items spread throughout the Internet circle.

At this time, Weishi was being crushed in market share by its two rivals, Douyin and Kuaishou, and despite the massive investment of funds and resources from Tencent, it had not made much progress.

Therefore, Lu Jie's close friends in the industry, including the heads of several technology companies he invested in, all adopted a wait-and-see attitude towards his decision.

Lei Jun even called to tease him, asking if he had been "set up" by Pengcheng Ma at the dinner table and had only accepted the job while drunk.

Of course, the main reason was to invite him to dinner. We sat down together and exchanged views on the future development of new energy vehicles. Lei Jun and He Xiaopeng, the founder of XPeng Motors, have always had a good relationship. He himself is also very interested in new energy vehicles. According to the information, Xiaomi will also enter the new energy vehicle market in a few years and will surpass XPeng.

Lu Jie would never refuse a private dinner with a friend, especially one that was an invitation from Lao Lei, who was both his mentor and friend.

However, the primary task at present is to prepare for the vertical screen drama "Someday or One Day," which he is expected to help Weishi with its strategic transformation during the National Day holiday.

Preparations for "Someday or One Day" went smoothly.

Regarding the script, the two screenwriters directly extracted small scenes from the long series and made slight modifications, but after research, they found that this extraction might not produce a very good final product.

Therefore, Lu Jie suggested that Lin Zixian simply use script adaptation as an interview question, select 10 episodes of short drama outlines, send them to the directing graduates and recent students who applied, and then select 8 to 12 people based on their performance.

Lin Zixian thought it was a good idea after hearing it, so he did it.

Those who auditioned for roles were ordinary students from art colleges in Beijing such as Beijing Film Academy and Central Academy of Drama. Those who became famous at a young age didn't care about this new project at all. After all, vertical screen dramas are not even as good as web dramas when you take them seriously.

When it came to casting, Lu Jie simply took a hands-off approach. In the end, the list that Xiao Wu gave him included a third-year student at the Central Academy of Drama for the male lead, a fourth-year student at the Beijing Film Academy for the female lead, a second male lead who was the villain and had just graduated from the Central Academy of Drama, and a third male lead who was a second-year student at the Beijing Film Academy.

Looking at the interview photos, all of them were quite good-looking, but Lu Jie only remembered the female lead, Zhu Lilan. It's normal to take a few more glances at her to deepen your impression of her because she's beautiful.

…………

"Brother, I don't want to leave you~" In the parking lot of Beijing Capital International Airport, Xiao Hu hugged Lu Jie tightly and acted coquettishly.

Lu Jie gently patted her back, pulled her back to him, and smiled indulgently, "Silly girl, I promised you I'd visit you on set whenever I had time, and I definitely will. Be good, Xinbao, learn and observe more on set, and act well. There'll be a surprise for you when you come back."

"Yes, I'll definitely be very serious! What surprise has my brother prepared for me this time?"

"Of course, I can't tell you the surprise yet, hehe~" Lu Jie kept it a secret.

Little Hu pouted cutely and said, "Ah, you're teasing me again~"

"Of course, Xinbao is the cutest like this, hehe." Lu Jie hugged Xiao Hu and kissed her forehead, then looked at her executive agent, "Xinbao, you and your assistant go in first, I have something to tell your agent."

Xiao Hu kissed Lu Jie on the cheek. "Okay, I'm off then."

Then he whispered teasingly in her ear, "Brother, take care of yourself, and remember to come and pay your dues, hehe~"

Lu Jie slapped her across the face, then watched her, her assistant, and the male and female bodyguards he had arranged for her enter the airport. Only then did he speak to the female agent waiting beside him, "Xiao Jiang, you were recruited by President Lin, so you have relevant work experience, right?"

Xiao Jiang only found out today that the artist he was in charge of was actually the big boss's woman. He nodded nervously, "Yes, President Lu."

"Well, there are some things Mr. Lin can't say to you, but I need to make things clear." Lu Jie smiled kindly. "Xiao Hu is my girlfriend, a very serious one, so she definitely won't lack resources. You should have noticed, she's a very simple girl, just wanting to be a good actress peacefully. Therefore, your primary task is to keep the filth of the entertainment industry away from her, understand?"

Xiao Jiang immediately expressed his determination, "I understand, Mr. Lu. I will definitely take good care of Teacher Hu!"

Lu Jie waved his hand dismissively, "How old is she? Calling her 'teacher'? You guys... never mind. Anyway, take good care of my Xiao Hu. If you encounter any unreasonable people and words don't work, have the bodyguards handle it. By the way, the female lead of this drama, Chen Yao, is also my woman. They both know better than to mess with each other, so you, as her manager, better not cause trouble, understand?"

"Huh?" Xiao Jiang was a little confused after hearing that.

"What? I'm saying Chen Yao is also my woman. Don't take advantage of my backing for Xiao Hu and cause trouble for her on set over trivial matters." Lu Jie waved his hand to interrupt Xiao Jiang's explanation. "Don't rush. I just have a habit of speaking frankly upfront. If it's true, then correct it; if not, then take it as encouragement. Just keep what I'm saying in mind."

Xiao Jiang thought to herself, "I'm not crazy, I'm just earning a salary. I can't be bothered with your petty affairs. You should keep an eye on your woman and make sure she doesn't cause trouble, you scumbag! Rich people are all the same!"

However, she still nodded politely and said, "I understand, Mr. Lu. I will definitely do my duty and will not do anything unnecessary."

"Okay, go ahead." Lu Jie was very satisfied with Xiao Jiang's attitude. "I bought a motorhome for Xiao Hu, and it's already driven to the film set. Tell her when you get on the plane."

Listen to this, listen to this! I bought Xiao Hu a campervan. Tell her when you get on the plane~ That scumbag is pretty good at sweet-talking, why doesn't any scumbag ever try to sweet-talk me? Tsk~

"Okay, Mr. Lu, I'll head into the airport now."

Lu Jie then drove the car to another area of ​​the parking lot, got out and got into a Toyota Alphard, which was Chen Yao's nanny van.

Her executive agent, assistant, and bodyguard were all there, so Lu Jie simply hugged her and gave her a light kiss. Then he had the bodyguard and assistant get out of the car and, in front of Chen Yao, gave her agent the same instructions he had just given to Xiao Jiang.

Chen Yao, the executive agent, was trained by Tangren, whose conduct in the industry was not exactly commendable. Therefore, she was more humble towards Lu Jie than towards Xiao Jiang.

After seeing the staff off, Lu Jie spent some more time being affectionate with Chen Yao, and said softly with a hint of guilt, "Yao Yao, I'll visit Xiao Hu on set later, you..."

Chen Yao smiled gently and shook her head. "Don't worry, honey. Your Yao Yao is very sensible. She promised to be your good lover and she won't make a fuss." After saying that, she gently leaned her head on Lu Jie's shoulder.

"Yaoyao...you...I...Hey!" The more she acted like this, the more guilty Lu Jie felt. Damn it, being a scumbag really isn't something an ordinary person can do!
