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

Chapter 468 "Seamless Connection Teacher Meng"

Although no one knew what I was thinking about my boss, the shame in my heart was real.

So after returning to the hotel, no matter how He Handan asked about what happened that night, Bai Lu didn't say a word.

"After a good night's sleep, you wake up to a new day, and the memory of social death fades away."

She thought silently in her mind.

Unfortunately, things often go against one's wishes.

The next morning, Bai Lu had just gotten up and hadn't washed or dressed yet when her agent called her.

"What the hell! Trending search?"

Bai Lu almost spit out a mouthful of water, and then, regardless of what her agent was still talking on the phone, she quickly searched the Internet.

As expected, the term "Bai Lu night meeting with mysterious boyfriend" was clearly displayed in the entertainment hot search section.

When I clicked on it again, sure enough, it was the video of the moment when I and my boss came out of the restaurant last night, and the moment when they found out someone was following them just before getting in the car. Even the part where my boss waving was in it.

"Oh……"

Bai Lu slapped her head. She was so focused on shame last night that she forgot about this matter.

Speaking of which, paparazzi nowadays act so quickly. They don’t even communicate with the team of the artist being photographed, but just send out the video directly.

Little did she know that the paparazzi who were following her saw the "boyfriend" greeting them openly and thought that he was trying to show that he didn't mind being photographed.

Since you don't care, there is naturally no need to communicate. It is better to send it out directly to increase traffic and popularity.

"Bai Lu! Bai Lu! Bai Lu!!"

The agent on the phone raised his voice and shouted when he saw that no one was paying attention to him after talking for a long time.

"Sister, I'm here." Bai Lu said weakly.

"You haven't said anything for a long time." The agent complained: "Tell me clearly first, who is the man with you? What is your relationship? Is he an artist or an amateur? What did you two do last night..."

“That’s the boss.”

"Who's the boss?"

"Your boss, my boss, our boss."

"..."

The agent was silent for a moment, then he slowed down his tone and said, "Is it Mr. Yang? He doesn't look like him."

"It's President Meng."

"Meng..."

This time the silence lasted longer than the previous one, so long that Bai Lu thought she had accidentally touched the screen and hung up the phone, before the other party finally spoke again.

"Lulu."

The agent's voice was obviously much softer than at the beginning, and she said in a friendly tone: "We have known each other for a few years. Although I am usually a little impatient, I am still good to you. You should be able to see that..."

Tsk tsk tsk, the speed of changing his expression is a little too fast, Bai Lu complained in her heart. The last time she heard her agent speak to her so gently was when she first became famous on "Running Man".

Alas, it would have been great if I had really slept with him last night, but unfortunately...

Listening to her agent still muttering, Bai Lu interrupted her: "Sister, although I quite enjoy the tone of your voice now, I still have to explain to you that the relationship between me and my boss is not what you think."

As she spoke, she briefly explained what happened last night and also told the other party about the upcoming variety show and script.

"You mean, Mr. Meng came all the way from Beijing to Shanghai, and then specifically invited you out for dinner in the evening, just to talk about work?"

The agent smacked his lips and said, "Your explanation is logical, but it's not very convincing. We'd better optimize it."

Bai Lu's eyes widened over the phone: "Who said the boss came to have dinner with me? Didn't I tell you that he had other things to do and changed the time temporarily. He happened to see me in Shanghai, so he came to have dinner with me."

"The main thing is that the video of you and Mr. Meng doesn't seem like you were chatting about work."

"I..." Bai Lu covered her lower lip with her front teeth, closed her eyes tightly, and tilted her head back for a long time before finally sighing, "Forget it, sister, think whatever you want. Don't forget to coordinate the show schedule and the new drama."

"Don't worry, it's all right." The agent responded, paused and said, "Then I'll talk to the company later and ask them to contact Mr. Meng to see how we can explain this to the public."

"Don't bother with that. I have the boss's contact information. I can just ask him directly."

"That's right, it's definitely easier for you to contact us than for us."

Bai Lu took a deep breath, hung up the phone, and didn't want to continue talking about this topic.

Putting down her phone, she sat by the bed for a while. When she thought about taking the initiative to talk to Meng Bai about this, she felt even more ashamed.

If I had known earlier, I should have asked my agent to contact the company. Why did I speak so quickly?

Bai Lu felt a little annoyed and couldn't help but scratch her messy long hair.

Forget it, let me go online and see how serious this matter has become.

On the bright side, my popularity isn't that high, so maybe no one pays attention to this little gossip, and it's probably been covered up by now.

Bai Lu went online to take a look with great anticipation, and her face turned bitter - not only did the hot search ranking not drop, why was it going up?

Thinking of what her agent sister had just said, she couldn't help but click on the video in the entry to watch it.

The content of the video starts with two people leaving the restaurant. Meng Bai, dressed in a casual suit and with a straight posture, walks leisurely in front. His face cannot be seen clearly because he is wearing a mask due to influenza regulations, but his outstanding temperament adds a bit of mystery.

Bai Lu, who was wearing a little white dress, followed him, only half a body length behind him. Her light movements looked particularly delicate in contrast to the tall body of the man next to her.

Bai Lu propped up her head and watched the video on the screen. This paparazzi's skills were quite good. Although the resolution was not high with a telephoto lens across the street, and the scene was also the most ordinary street, it looked like an urban puppet show. You are a ghost! With such good skills, why don't you apply to be a photographer in a film crew? How can you be a paparazzi here?
Bai Lu let out a long breath and casually flipped through the comments below.

Netizens are still very resourceful. By now, through various head-to-body comparisons and body proportions, they have confirmed that the "man" photographed is Meng Bai, the boss of Arc Light Films.

In view of the sensational "scandal" at the time, many people know that Bai Lu's boss is Meng Bai.

But the last time didn't really affect Bai Lu, after all, she was still a nobody at the time. Apart from the fact that there was a joke online about "Mr. Meng likes to play the same trick on actors he signs", there wasn't much discussion.

But this time it’s different. Although Bai Lu’s current popularity is not top-tier, she still has a place among the new generation of “little flowers” that have gradually risen in recent years.

What's more, this is the second time that she and Meng Bai have been exposed. This kind of gossip about female celebrities and company bosses can best arouse the curiosity of netizens.

[It’s definitely Mr. Meng. You can tell by the waving gesture at the end. It’s exactly the same as in previous award ceremonies.]

[The atmosphere of this video is so good. If it wasn’t for the follow-up video, I would have thought it was a leak of our Lulu’s new drama.]

[Sister, I actually saw the leaked photos of Bai Lu a few days ago. How should I put it? Although our Runyu is handsome, he is indeed a little thin. It is still the height difference and body shape difference of President Meng that looks better. ]

[Just kidding, Luo Na was just acting as a domineering CEO, this guy is a real domineering CEO, okay? Their temperaments are different. By the way, I am also mad at Mr. Meng's figure and long legs——]

[But why do I remember that Mr. Meng has a girlfriend? Isn't it Li Yitong? ]

[Li Yitong is a ghost, is she worthy of being the supporting actress in the popular dramas? Mr. Meng’s real girlfriend has always been our Qinqin, okay! ]

[It's so funny, how dare you say that. I don't know who took advantage of the popularity of the "final part of the trilogy" to cast a special female lead, but the result was similar to the smaller "Undocumented Crime" in the same series. And I have to tell you that the ratings of our sister Tong's recent drama have exceeded 2, ranking first in the same time slot.]

【By the way, aren’t we talking about Bailu? 】

[It's the same. It's hard to tell who is who when three people stand together. But this fully proves one thing, that Mr. Meng's eyesight is better than Dong Ge's, at least he is not face-blind.]

【…】

Bai Lu looked at the comments from netizens with a frown on her face. It was clearly her that was on the hot search, but it ended up being diverted to someone else. She didn't know whether she should be happy that someone was sharing the pressure, or that her popularity was suppressed.

However, it seems that the impact of this news is not as great as previously imagined, and it is still within the controllable range.

She took out her cell phone, thinking of calling Meng Bai, but no one answered.

Seeing that it was getting late, she could only leave a message on WeChat, then hurriedly washed and packed up to go to the crew for filming.

But I was not at peace even when I joined the crew. This kind of thing could not be kept secret at all, and everything was known in just the morning.

"Come, Teacher Bailu, drink a bottle of water."

Luo Yunxi, who played the male lead, took a bottle of mineral water and placed it in front of Bai Lu.

"Wow, you guys are so realistic. Yesterday you called me Bailu, but today you're calling me Teacher Bailu."

"I didn't know this a long time ago. If I had known, I would have called you that a long time ago." Luo Yunxi half-jokingly said, "Teacher Bai Lu, I'll have to trouble you to take care of me in the future."

"Haha, I'm sorry to disappoint you. I'm just an employee. I can't take care of you."

Bai Lu curled her lips and snorted.

In fact, she didn't really care about others putting her together with her boss. She even felt a little happy in her heart when she heard the teasing.

But the problem is, I really didn't do anything, which is too unfair.

"You can only blame yourself for this. Why didn't you seize such a good opportunity last night?"

During the break, He Handan complained about her best friend.

"It's me who doesn't want to seize the opportunity. It's the boss who doesn't give me the chance, okay!" Bai Lu raised her eyebrows, "I can't just say, Boss, I want to sleep with you. I, a girl, at least have self-respect, okay?"

"Okay, Sister Zizun, I hope that next time when I talk to you about Mr. Meng, you won't be so excited."

"When did I..."

Bai Lu's cheeks flushed as she was about to retort, but she was interrupted by the sudden ringing of her cell phone. She glanced at it, then made a quiet gesture to her bestie and answered the call.

"Good day, boss."

The caller was naturally Meng Bai, and a slightly lazy voice came out of the phone: "I saw the message you sent, and I have a general understanding of the matter."

"I'm sorry, boss, for causing you trouble."

"What's there to apologize for? It was originally my appointment. What does it have to do with you?" Meng Bai said, "Don't worry, I've already talked to the company and will send them an explanation later. By the way, is there any impact on your crew?"

"It's okay. It will take at least a year or two for this new drama to be aired, and by then no one will remember it." Bai Lu said with a smile.

"That's good. Okay, keep working. Come on."

"Thank you, boss." Bai Lu paused for a moment, then continued, "I said before that I wanted to treat you to a meal to express my gratitude, but I never had the chance. I hope you'll have time next time."

"Okay, let's wait until you finish filming the drama. I never miss a chance to be invited."

Bai Lu's eyes lit up: "Then it's a deal, boss!"

"It's a word."

On the other side of the phone, Meng Bai hung up.

As for this matter, apart from being slightly concerned about whether it would interfere with Bai Lu, it had no other impact on him.

This time, I am innocent and clean, and I am always right.

After opening WeChat and taking a look, he couldn't help but chuckle.

Li Yitong: [Sure, Teacher Meng, this is a really seamless transition. There is a little girl accompanying you wherever you go.]

　In the new year, I wish everyone can get rich overnight without any effort!
