Huayu Tianxian: This director is such a hypocrite!

[Dark Horse! Sophomore Director Wins Youth Drama Competition!]

[The Unknown, with a budget of 400 million, grossed 1.1 million at the box office, and may become the biggest box office dark horse of 04!]

[Fei Ye has launched another project, and this time Ye Chong has his sights set on three major projects!]

On September 16, Ye Chong dominated the entertainment headlines with three trending topics, overshadowing the news of Huayi Brothers and Columbia Entertainment's split.

Nine o'clock in the morning, Feiye Studio.

Ye Chong sat in his office chair, scrolling through the news online with a blank expression.

"Huayi..."

"You suspect that Huayi is fueling this?"

Chen Zhixi's voice rang out from afar.

This thoughtful older sister has recently taken a liking to tea making, and has moved all of Ye Chong's coffee sets to his own desk.

"Yes, their top priority right now is to minimize the impact of the Columbia split incident. Since our press release was released, they simply boosted our profile."

"Isn't this a bit much?" Chen Zhixi picked up the kettle, warmed the cups, and poured out the tea, glancing at Ye Chong every now and then. "If they are mortal enemies, they shouldn't be boosting our morale and crushing theirs."

"We must look at the essence of a problem."

"Click—"

Ye Chong lit a Zhongnanhai cigarette, savoring its flavor, which was completely different from that of Xuanhemen.

Xuanhemen was still the best place to smoke, but it went bankrupt in later generations.

"Think about what they want most?"

"Pressure heat"

"Yes!" Ye Chong clicked on the news, his eyes scanning the exaggerated words. "Firstly, they resolved the crisis, and secondly, they can elevate my status as a dark horse."

"So what if you're praised too highly?" Chen Zhixi picked up his tea and elegantly crossed his legs.

"If we praise them too much, we'll have more options. We can save them for when Feng Xiaopao criticizes us at the end of the year, or we can keep praising them until we crash and burn."

"Look at this report." Ye Chong read aloud one of the news items: "The biggest surprise in the film and television industry in 2004 was none other than the newly emerged Ye Chong and his Fei Ye Studio."

According to reports, after taking the top spot at the August box office, Ye Chong and his studio have set their sights on the three major European box office competitions, determined to win the awards and show off China's glory!

"Hmm~" Chen Zhixi shook her head: "This is too obvious flattery. What should we do?"

"Only results speak for themselves!"

With a sigh, Ye Chong extinguished his cigarette and leaned back in the boss's chair. "When I get back in October, let's start filming 'The Legend of the Stone Seeker,' shall we? Is a month enough time for location scouting and preparation?"

Chen Zhixi took a sip of tea, closed her eyes slightly, and pondered for a moment.

"That probably won't be enough. Filming will be mostly done in November. When you get back, you can go see your girlfriend, or maybe visit the set of 'Bright Sword'?"

"Um……"

"Oh?" Chen Zhixi's lips curled into a teasing smile. "Not arguing this time? So you're my little girlfriend now?"

"Hehehe..." Ye Chong just kept chuckling, not taking the bait.

"Has all the money from the ringback tones been cashed out?"

"My sister isn't your secretary, go find your secretary!"

Ye Chong clicked his tongue, thinking to himself, "Where would I get a secretary? It's you, isn't it?"

Chen Zhixi finished his tea, then picked up the documents, stood up, and took two steps to Ye Chong: "Forty million RMB, which is about four million eight hundred thousand US dollars. To be honest, that amount of money can't do much in Meilika, where land is incredibly expensive."

Ye Chong took the documents and bank card, and winked mischievously at her: "Buying stocks!"

"Hiss..." Chen Zhixi sighed, rubbing her forehead. "I almost forgot about that. Aren't you going to take a translator with you abroad? Get an agent, at least!"

"Need not."

Ye Chong pulled a safe from under the table, neatly arranged the documents and a stack of scripts inside, and locked it away.

"My agent is still in training. By the time she finishes training, we should have already opened a subsidiary."

"Whatever!" After saying that, Chen Zhixi turned and left.

After watching Chen Zhixi leave, Ye Chong eagerly pulled out his phone.

[Little Potato: Here! The little delinquent girl you wanted!]

The QQ message contained a photo of Yifei in her costume on the stage yesterday.

Smoky eye bags, purplish-red lips, hair piled up, and a look in her eyes as if she were looking at trash!

"Tap tap tap..." The keyboard clicked repeatedly.

[Ye Chong: A few more full-body photos! You've been in the dressing room for so long, I know you have some in reserve. Hurry up and take some, little potato, don't force me to beg you!]

On the other side, on the 13th floor of Anning Huating in the HD district.

Sunlight streamed through the glass wall, pouring into the room, but was blocked by the annoying white curtain covers, unable to penetrate even an inch further.

In the dimly lit living room, Yifei rested her hands on her stomach, her bottom wedged against the edge of the sofa, and her delicate chin rested between her collarbones.

Or to put it another way: Ge You lying down...

"Beep beep beep!"

The phone beeped again. Yifei frowned, raised her hand to pause the projector, and the image just happened to be a close-up of herself.

"So annoying!"

After glancing at the bad guy's flashing QQ avatar, Yifei wrinkled her nose indignantly and pulled the scoundrel into a group chat.

[The Rival of 1.3 Billion Young Men]: ...

[Only I Am Immortal]: You're so smug! Huh?

[Grandma Tong]: Oh! A rare guest, who is this handsome young man?

[Nana]: Welcome, welcome! Did Sisi bring this in?

[The Rival of 1.3 Billion Young Men]: Hello everyone, I am Ye Chong, Yi Fei's rumored boyfriend!

[Grandma Tong]: What?!

[Nana]: Oh no, all the men in the country are going to cry.

[Nana]: Wait! Your username, kid!

[Only I Am Immortal]: You're asking for it! You filthy scoundrel!

[Grandma Tong]: You're asking for it! You wicked brat!

[Nana]: You're asking for it! You filthy bastard!

[The Rival of 1.3 Billion Young Men]: ...

[Only I Am Immortal]: Don't you dare imitate me, you stinky Nana, you stinky Changchang!

[Grandma Tong]: Grandma, I actually take baths quite often.

[Nana]: I should smell a tiny bit better than your scoundrel! I guess so? Unless you think your boyfriend smells better than your best friend!

[Only I Am Immortal]: You guys are absolutely wicked, just like bad apples!

[Grandma Tong]: Learn from the wicked one!

[Nana]: +1

"Aaaaaah! I'm going crazy!"

Yifei gritted her teeth, clenched her little fists, and punched the pillow on the sofa hard.

Today was supposed to be my study time (to enjoy clips of my own stage play), but who knew this scoundrel would pop up, not only annoying but also corrupting my best friend!

"Beep beep beep!"

[The Rival of 1.3 Billion Young Men]: Beep beep beep, are you still there? Heavenly Immortal?

[Grandma Tong]: Beep beep beep, are you still there? Celestial Immortal?

[Nana]: Tsk tsk tsk, a celestial being?

[The Rival of 1.3 Billion Young Men]: My flight is the day after tomorrow, how about we get together tomorrow? To see me off?

[Grandma Tong]: An airplane?

[Nana]: Farewell?

[The Rival of 1.3 Billion Young Men]: Hmm? Are you still there? Little…

[Only I Am Immortal]: Yes, yes, yes!

Seeing that the rascal was about to use her pet name, Yifei quickly replied to his message.

[The Rival of 1.3 Billion Young Men]: Tomorrow?

[Only I Am Immortal]: Sending, sending, sending!

[The Rival of 1.3 Billion Young Men]: Then what about the full-body photo I want?

[Only I Am Immortal]: Here you go!

[Grandma Tong]: Full-body photo?

[Nana]: Oh my god!

[The Rival of 1.3 Billion Young Men]: Cosplay.

[Only I Am Immortal]: Here you go, I told you to give it to me, you're so annoying!

[Only I Am Immortal's Mom]: Cough cough cough!

[Only I Am Immortal]: ...

[Grandma Tong]: ...

[Nana]: ...

[The Rival of 1.3 Billion Young Men]: Auntie, I saw a beautiful woman while shopping today. At first glance, she looked quite like you. But upon closer inspection, I thought, "What the hell? What a cheap beauty! She's nowhere near as good as you!"

[Grandma Tong]: One must learn until old age.

[Nana]: Live to old age.

[Only I Am Immortal]: That's enough, Ye Chong!

[Only I Am Immortal's Mom]: I'm going to invite some people to play mahjong tomorrow.

[Grandma Tong]: Oh ho... General!
