Entertainment: I just want to be the boss behind the scenes

Chapter 399 Wait a minute...

“Ha, I got you… Hey, this can work? No no no… Oops, it didn’t work!”

On the large sofa, Yang Mi looked at the black and white screen of his mobile phone and said to Meng Bai in an irritable baby voice, "Didn't you say that your rank is only Star Glory?"

"Yes, I am." Meng Bai calmly put down his phone and said with a smile on his face, "Didn't you see it all in the account information?"

The two were no longer in the hotel they were in before, but had moved to a duplex apartment.

As Meng Bai said before, this kind of quarrel between fans is not a big deal. Zeng Jia wanted to meet Meng Bai before, just because he was afraid that he would misunderstand.

So Yang Mi solved the problem within five minutes of meeting Meng Bai. The rest of the time, she was just teasing Meng Bai.

As a veteran "Sea King" for many years, Meng Bai naturally understood what the woman meant at a glance.

If Tong Liya hadn't revealed the news, he would have just pretended not to see it. But now that he has no "moral burden" and doesn't need to worry about anything, he flirted back without hesitation.

After a few drinks, both of them realized that the other wanted to have a sparring match tonight, so they ended this boring dinner in tacit understanding.

When leaving, Yang Mi pretended to be a little drunk and got into Meng Bai's car with her assistant. After driving for a while, she let the two assistants leave first and stayed in the car.

I thought Meng Bai would go to the hotel, but the car drove around for a long time and ended up in an apartment in a residential complex.

Although everyone understood what was going to happen tonight, everyone was proud of their status and had to pretend first and wait for things to unfold naturally.

When they were having dinner and chatting before, Yang Mi mentioned that he liked to play King of Glory when he had nothing to do. Unexpectedly, Meng Bai said that he also played it occasionally and his skills were pretty good.

Now Yang Mi's competitive spirit came up. As a "god-level" player who had won the national standard and played in the King of Glory, she sent out a solo invitation without hesitation.

This is just right, and it also allows her to experience in advance the opportunity to defeat this "Mr. Meng".

She thought that with her level of "King of Glory", it should be easy to beat the opponent's "Star Goalkeeper", but she didn't expect that except for the first game, she failed in the next four games.

Even in the first game that they won, it was obvious that Meng Bai hadn't played for a long time and was a little rusty, so he was caught making mistakes.

More importantly, she was very depressed every time she lost. She didn't see any fancy moves from her opponent, who just used Hou Yi to develop, and then suddenly revealed a flaw, and when she rushed forward, she used her ultimate to flash and then 21+AAA...

Then she could only watch her poor little Daji being A-ed to death.

The whole process was ordinary, but when I think back on it, I always feel that he brought a silent aura that forced me to be full of loopholes.

"Your level is definitely more than just Star Glory!"

"I didn't say my level is the same as my rank." Meng Bai said with a smile, "This game has four seasons a year, and the rank will be updated if you don't play for a while. I only play occasionally, and I don't have much time to rush up."

Actually, he has no way to play King of Glory. Among his friends, Zhang Ruoyun plays StarCraft, Bai Yu plays Warcraft, and he plays Dota and League of Legends, so he is a complete group of players from all three generations. When the three of them get together, they can only play King of Glory, so they just make do with it. He rarely plays alone.

I didn't expect that I could actually use this to trick people today. It can be said that it was not in vain.

Meng Bai pushed the glass of red wine on the table over to him and said, "Great God of Glory, if you are willing to accept the loss, drink it."

Of course, there must be a bet in a solo game. Yang Mi thought she had a sure win, so she made a bet of one glass of wine per game. By the way, she also wanted to see what Mr. Meng would look like when he was drunk.

Unexpectedly, she is now trapped in her own web. Meng Bai had only drunk one glass of wine, and she had already drunk three glasses of wine. She was about to have the fourth glass.

"Don't worry, I'm a good gambler."

Yang Mi said this stubbornly, then picked up the wine glass on the table and drank it all with gritted teeth.

"Den!"

The cup fell on the table with a crisp sound. The woman, who was already a little drunk, became even more drunk.

Yang Mi's face was flushed, perhaps because she felt a little hot, she unbuttoned two buttons of her shirt, revealing a deep ravine, which was particularly eye-catching under the reflection of the light. Two long legs in black stockings were placed on one side of the sofa, slender and straight, revealing a different kind of temptation.

Even Meng Bai had to admit that this woman was able to stand out among the "85 flowers", and her hardware level was indeed very impressive.

After the fourth glass of wine, even though Yang Mi usually had a good alcohol tolerance, she still felt her vision was a little blurry. She shook her head and stood up shakily: "I... go to the bathroom."

Meng Baixu helped her up and asked doubtfully, "Are you sure you can do this?"

"Of course!"

Before Yang Mi finished speaking, she felt her feet stumble, and after a cry of surprise, she fell into a soft embrace. She raised her head and looked at Meng Bai who was right in front of her. Her fox eyes, which used to be charming, were now full of confusion.

You can't blame yourself for this, she was the one who started it first.

"Want to do another solo?"

Yang Mi waved her hands randomly: "Wait, wait a minute... Let me go to the bathroom first."

“I heard that people’s feelings will be magnified when they are anxious, so focus and play games first.

"Admit defeat?"

"Again, again!"

"Tsk——"
-
When Yang Mi woke up, it was already noon the next day.

Looking around, she should be in the bedroom. She searched around and found her "battle-damaged" shirt from the end of the bed.

But there was no other clothes in the room, so she could only put them on to cover herself up. Fortunately, there was floor heating in the room, so the temperature was just right and she didn't feel cold.

After getting out of bed, standing firmly and walking out of the room, she realized that she was upstairs.

How did you get up here last night?
Yang Mi recalled it, but she didn't remember much of the second half because she was exhausted. There was a noise downstairs, and she looked down the stairs, only to see Meng Bai doing push-ups in the living room with his upper body naked.

"You're still really energetic."

A charming voice sounded from above his head. Meng Bai stopped and looked up, only to see Yang Mi leaning against the stair railing, looking at him with her arms folded across her chest.

The somewhat messy shirt was pulled in front of her body by her hands, but the proud peaks were still visible. Two long white legs stood there naked, only covered by the little fabric hanging down from the shirt.

"I thought you were going to sleep a little longer."

Meng Bai stood up and wiped the sweat off his face: "I don't come here often, so I don't have any clothes prepared. You can just make do with what you have."

"It's okay. I just asked my assistant to bring the clothes over later."

Yang Mi walked down the stairs and replied casually, but his eyes were still fixed on Meng Bai.

It was too dark last night and she was drunk, so she didn't look closely. It was only just now that she realized that what Yaya said before was true. Even if you don't look at status and power, this man himself is very attractive.

Meng Bai saw her looking at him, and looked down at her: "What's wrong?"

"Nothing." Yang Mi smiled and walked in front of him: "Nice figure."

"You said that last night."

"Really?" Yang Mi recalled: "I don't remember. Is there anything to eat? I'm hungry."

Meng Bai pointed to the table next to him and said, "I don't have any food in stock, so I ordered some takeout. I wonder what you like to eat."

"Whatever, I'll just eat what I have now."

Yang Mi sat down at the dining table and casually flipped through the takeout bag, which was full of breakfast snacks. She picked up a small bun and ate it in small bites.

"Is this your home?" Yang Mi looked around while eating.

"That's fine." Meng Bai took a bottle of water from the refrigerator. "I bought it before and have been keeping it here. Sometimes I'll come and stay here when I'm close."

In fact, he originally bought this duplex apartment as a gift to Zhu Xudan. But the girl said that she was afraid to live in such a big house alone and wanted her "senior brother" to accompany her.

Meng Bai said without hesitation that it was a trivial matter, and then he bought her an ordinary small house of about 100 square meters, which made the girl angry for several days.

He was thinking about things here, while Yang Mi on the other side was eating silently.

The atmosphere in the room was somewhat quiet. Last night's solo was last night's, and now it was different in the daytime. For those of them in the entertainment industry, when the sun rises, everything returns to its original position.

Both are experienced players, and neither of them would take this matter to heart.

Yang Mi suddenly remembered that he had another "mission" on his shoulders.

"Financing Jiaxing?"

Meng Bai raised his eyebrows and looked at her: "Excuse me, Jiaxing Media...what is there worth financing?"

"Uh, this..."

Yang Mi was about to introduce it, but stopped.

Yes, for ArcLight Pictures, Jiaxing Media seems to have no assets to offer.

Their company originally started out as an artist management business, but up to now, there are only one and a half truly valuable goals.

One is herself, and the other half is Reba.

As for the newcomers below, although I have filmed a lot of dramas with them and have become familiar faces to some extent, to be honest, none of them can really compete.

There are many marketing accounts on the Internet that often talk about the "Four Beauties of Jiaxing", referring to the four actresses of Jiaxing, Di Lieba, Huang Mengying, Li Xirui and Dai Si. But in fact, most of them are water armies hired by the company to make such a name, in order to make the latter three take advantage of the popularity.

Logically speaking, the three girls are all good-looking and have their own unique features. They are not the kind of girls that you can't tell one from the other at a glance. They have also starred in many popular TV series, but their popularity has never risen.

Otherwise, why do so many people in the circle believe in metaphysics? In the acting industry, it is really the case that "small fame depends on promotion, big fame depends on luck."

Besides, Jiaxing has artists, and Arclight has its own artists. Now everyone in the industry knows that Arclight Films is behind Taiyang Chuanhe, a company that has risen in recent years.

As for Jiaxing's other business, self-produced dramas, it's even more self-humiliating to even mention it when compared to ArcLight Pictures.

So when you calculate it this way, Jiaxing Media seems to have no real appeal to ArcLight Pictures.

As for words like "Isn't it enough to have me?", Yang Mi didn't even have the courage to say it out loud.

Although she had only known him for a short time, she still had some idea of Meng Bai's character. This man looked easygoing, but in fact, his big head was definitely as hard as his small head, and it was impossible for him to be easy to talk to after a good night's sleep.

Even if they were close, he would probably prioritize benefits. Moreover, the two of them were just playing a friendly match, so there was no friendship at all.

Alas, these bastards are all so heartless. Yang Mi looked at Meng Bai's face and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

But then again, without this kind of character, he probably wouldn't be where he is today. Remember, he started from scratch, which is even more impressive.

Thinking of this, she suddenly felt a little jealous of Li Qin.

Forget it, she stole my role and I slept with her man, so it's fair.

As for Zeng Jia's question about financing, she had proposed it anyway, and there was nothing she could do if they didn't agree. She was just an employee with less than 10% of the shares, so why should she worry about it every day?
