Rebirth of Chinese Entertainment, the Diary of a 95 Flower

Chapter 253 Yang Chaoyue Writes Online Novels
"Xiwei, you've arrived in Shanghai?"

"We've arrived! Let me tell you, it was my first time flying, and I was so excited! The flight attendants were so elegant. For some reason, the food on the plane looked really simple, and I wouldn't normally want to eat it, but it tasted especially good on the plane."

Liu Haochun laughed and said, "That's right, everything tastes delicious on the plane."

"Jiang Yang slept like a log next to me the whole time, while Chao Yue was reading a novel she had downloaded on her phone beforehand. The title was really corny, called 'The Domineering CEO Falls in Love with Me.' When I looked at her, I thought she was a country bumpkin."

Tian Xiwei had just gotten to this point in the conversation.

Yang Chaoyue dragged his luggage over from the conveyor belt: "What are you mumbling about?"

"They say you have the air of a rich, beautiful, and successful woman."

"right!"

Yang Chaoyue laughed heartily upon hearing this.

After sending Jiang Yang and Tian Xiwei to check in their luggage, she took Jiang Yang's phone and chatted with Liu Haochun: "Haochun, let me tell you, I recently discovered a novel that's really good, it's called..."

"What domineering CEOs fall in love with?" Liu Haochun covered his mouth and laughed.

"Yes, the title is a bit corny, but it's really addictive. I recommend you check it out. It's just that the author updates too slowly. I'm even thinking of writing a similar web novel myself."

"Chaoyue, whatever web novel you want to write, I'll definitely read it. You're so smart, you'll definitely write something great."

"I want to promote this domineering CEO theme and write a series of eight books in total, starting from the female lead's life and arranging different plots. The titles are already decided, which Jiang Yang and I discussed beforehand. The titles sound really cool."

Yang Chaoyue became very animated when talking about online novels:
"A domineering CEO falls in love with an ordinary me."

A domineering CEO falls in love with me, an older woman.

A domineering CEO falls in love with me, a divorced woman.

A domineering CEO falls in love with me, a divorced woman with a child.

A domineering CEO falls in love with me, who is going through menopause.

A domineering CEO falls in love with me, who has Alzheimer's disease.

The domineering CEO fell in love with me, the one hanging on the wall.

The domineering CEO falls for me, the grass on his grave.

Liu Haochun didn't understand, but was deeply shocked.

I silently noted down these book titles and will search for them online later.

After chatting and making merry for a while, we ended the video call.

I retrieved my luggage.

Jiang Yang's phone vibrated; he had received a message from Zhang Ruonan: ["Boss, have you gotten off the plane? I'm waiting for you at the arrival gate."]
Zhang Ruonan had just sent the message to Jiang Yang when she looked up.

The monochrome LED screen in the arrival hall scrolls through flight information, but the font is pixelated and occasionally lags.

It was during the Spring Festival travel rush, and there were many people waiting at the airport.

Someone was holding up a foam sign that read "XX Company Welcomes You at the Airport".

A young girl takes a selfie on tiptoe and adjusts the filter on her phone using a beauty app.

A prominent Ele.me promotional advertisement was displayed on the shelf of a convenience store next door.

Scan the QR code to get free bottled water.

There is a sign next to the cashier that says "Get a 2 yuan discount when you pay with Alipay".

The advertising screens are playing promotional videos for the opening of Shanghai Disneyland in June.

Clutching his phone tightly, he stood on tiptoe and peered towards the arrival gate. His phone vibrated; he had received a message.

It was sent by Jiang Yang.

A document titled "Music Composition Textbook".

And Jiang Yang sent a message: [“It’ll be out soon. Learn this first. Everyone in the company needs to learn it; it will be useful for future music arrangement.”]
["receive."]
Zhang Ruonan replied immediately.

I don't know what music arrangement is, nor do I know why I need to learn it.

Anyway, if Jiang Yang tells me to learn, then I will learn.

Check your backpack.

Inside was a contract with Canxing, which I had signed.

I specifically looked up the company Canxing, and it works with the casting projects for variety shows on Dongfeng TV. The extras assigned to "Go Fighting!" usually have to go through interviews, auditions, and screen tests, and only after being selected step by step can they officially start filming and receive the highest pay for extras.

She has absolutely no acting skills.

You could be eliminated at any stage.

After becoming an artist under Jiangyang Company, all these steps were skipped.

Tomorrow we'll go straight to the film set for the official shoot.

I used to despise people who relied on connections to obtain resources, but I never expected to become one of them myself.

Jiang Yang had spoken with her beforehand. Not only Jiang Yang, but also Yang Chaoyue and another artist from the company she had never met before, named Tian Xiwei, would be picking her up at the airport.

I don't know how to get along with the other artists in Jiangyang's company.

I wonder if my lack of acting skills will be a burden to Jiang Yang during tomorrow's filming.

She pursed her lips, trying to make a smile appear on her face.

I felt uneasy.

My phone rang; it was my mother calling: "Nannan, are you in Shanghai?"

Zhang Ruonan knew what her mother was going to say next, and she hummed in agreement.

Mom continued, "I told you to quit that job, but you wouldn't listen. What are these talent agencies and artists? You don't understand them at all. You're not cut out to be an actress. Why don't you just stick to modeling?"

Said a lot.

Finally, she said, "Mom is really doing this for your own good. Don't blame Mom for nagging, Mom doesn't want to see you go astray. Come back, Nan Nan."

“I can come back, but will you and Dad help me with the travel expenses?” Zhang Ruonan replied.

“Your father and I don’t have any money; the travel expenses are so expensive.”

"Then who will pay for my travel expenses?"

"Of course you'll pay for it yourself; you're the one who has to spend your own money to go to Shanghai."

"I didn't spend the money myself; my boss reimbursed me."

"Then have your boss reimburse you now and let you come back. Things are so busy at home. Really, you've changed completely ever since you signed that contract. You used to be so obedient."

Zhang Ruonan remained silent.

I just felt my ears become numb.

Thinking back to a while ago, before winter break, my mother sent me new clothes for university. When I opened the package, I found that they were old clothes that my cousin had worn for several years.

I ran out of living expenses and asked my parents for money, but they refused.

I clearly had 20,000 yuan saved with my parents.

If Jiang Yang hadn't given me an advance on my salary in time, I don't know how I would have gotten through that month.

When I returned home for winter break, I discovered that the 20,000 yuan I had deposited with them, which was meant to be my younger brother's dowry for his wedding, no longer belonged to me.

I had a big fight with my parents.

I received a message from Yang Chaoyue.

That night, I stayed in the city and then took a flight to Shanghai to wait for someone to pick me up at the airport.

She had only met Jiang Yang once, but Jiang Yang provided her with the guarantee to survive.

My parents gave me life, and then they kept sucking my blood.

Zhang Ruonan suddenly interrupted her mother: "Mom, don't interfere in my affairs anymore. I have my own life to live."

“Nannan has grown up and become sensible. Mom doesn’t want to interfere with you anymore.”

Mom's tone suddenly softened: "I just wanted to talk to you about this. Today your brother was disobedient. I told him not to tease the cat, but he didn't listen and got bitten. Do you think he needs a rabies vaccine?"

Others couldn't understand the meaning behind Mom's words.

But I can understand it myself.

He's asking himself for money again.
