Internet moguls are being held hostage by the entertainment system!

Chapter 122 While on set, gossip naturally comes.
After the opening ceremony of "Love O2O", the crew officially entered the filming stage.

The early scenes were mostly filmed around the male and female leads. Meng Ziyi, as the second female lead, didn't have any scenes to film every day.

When she's not working, her favorite thing to do is stroll around the university town.

Of course, the scope is limited to the area surrounding the film crew.

Because no one knows if the director will suddenly change the filming schedule, Meng Ziyi also has to be ready at any time.

"Drip!"

The sudden notification sound made Meng Ziyi hurriedly take out his phone to check.

"I've finished filming my scenes. Come back and have lunch with me. The director is going to film Bei Weiwei's dormitory scenes this afternoon, so you should prepare in advance!"

"OKK, I'll be right back."

After replying to Chen Xiu's message, Meng Ziyi turned around and rushed towards Shanghai International Studies University, where the film crew was located.

The reason why this silly beauty can go out and have fun so freely is because Chen Xiu tells her when she needs to come back.

Just as Meng Ziyi was rushing to the film set, a person wearing a mask and hat, looking somewhat furtive, appeared at the gate where a card was required for entry.

With a sudden stop, Meng Ziyi halted two meters away from the man, slightly out of breath, but looking at the masked man with a wary expression.

Are you a student? Or an actor here to film a movie?

"I'm not a student, I'm here to visit a friend on set. Can you take me in?"

The man's voice sounded somewhat familiar to Meng Ziyi, but his small, exposed eyes made Meng Ziyi certain that he had never seen him before.

Frowning, Meng Ziyi stared at him for a moment before asking, "Then why didn't you call and have your friend come pick you up?"

"Ahem, that..."

The man's small eyes darted around, then his gaze sharpened, and he pulled his mask down a little, revealing a pair of rather thick lips.

"I'm Hu Yanbin. I'm here to visit Zheng Shuang on set. I'm her boyfriend. But I don't want to contact her. Could you please let me in?"

"It's you! I've heard your songs before."

Meng Ziyi pointed at Hu Yanbin's face, completely ignoring what he was saying.

After a while, Hu Yanbin saw that this seemingly simple-minded beauty was just recounting the songs he had sung, without agreeing or disagreeing to take him in, so he couldn't help but make another request.

"Excuse me, could you please show me inside?"

"Oh, sure! Come with me."

Meng Ziyi took out his electronic card, tapped the gate open, and led Hu Yanbin inside.

Although the production crew has rules against unauthorized personnel entering the set, Hu Yanbin, being an industry insider and having officially announced his relationship with the female lead a few days ago, shouldn't be considered an unauthorized person.

Throughout her journey to the film set, the talkative Sister Meng kept the atmosphere lively, behaving like a true gossip enthusiast.

"Brother Hu, you came to visit the set without telling Zheng Shuang. Was it to surprise her?"

"Well, I guess so. That..."

Hu Yanbin was just about to ask Meng Ziyi why he called himself "Brother Hu" when it turned out he shared the same name as another celebrity.

However, the silly beauty's next words made him forget about the proper way to address her.

“These past few days, Zheng Shuang has been chatting with you the whole time when she’s not filming on set. You even came to visit her on set. You two have such a deep friendship!” Meng Ziyi said enviously.

Hu Yanbin was completely bewildered and confused: "What do you mean, chat with me? Zheng Shuang didn't chat with me! These past few days, she's been saying she's busy, and I couldn't get in touch with her, so she came to visit the set."

"Huh? Maybe I misheard."

Realizing she had said the wrong thing, the silly beauty quickly changed her tune.

These past few days, Zheng Shuang has been constantly chatting on her phone on set. The frequency and intensity of this has led everyone on set to believe that she's spending time with her newly announced boyfriend, but it seems that's not the case.

Before coming over, Hu Yanbin had already become suspicious of his girlfriend's unusual behavior of not being able to contact her for the past few days.

At this moment, Meng Ziyi's pointed remark instantly plunged him into a state of suspicion.

Those netizens don't understand Zheng Shuang and see her as a genuine and unpretentious fairy, but Hu Yanbin, who has a close relationship with her, knows Zheng Shuang very well.

The fairy is indeed very real, but also a bit dramatic.

Hu Yanbin and she hadn't been together long, but the "breakup and reconciliation" scenes had already played out several times.

Every time Zheng Shuang managed to win Zheng Shuang back, she would say, "As long as you truly love me, even if I say we should break up, you will still try to win me back."

Hearing this, Hu Yanbin felt like banging his head against a wall. Although he is a giving type of lover, he couldn't stand such a demanding partner!

The situation improved slightly after the two went public on Qixi Festival (Chinese Valentine's Day), but then things took a sudden turn in the past few days. Hu Yanbin felt that Zheng Shuang's attitude towards him had changed drastically, and she had become unresponsive in their conversations.

He was initially wondering why?
Now, thanks to Meng Ziyi's "guidance," Hu Yanbin has finally understood.

“Zheng Shuang has indeed been chatting with me these past few days.”

"really?"

"Yeah, really."

Hu Yanbin nodded firmly, determined to fool this seemingly not-so-bright beauty into taking him to Zheng Shuang.

Looking at Hu Yanbin, whose small eyes were the only part of his face showing, Meng Ziyi pursed his lips in confusion.

"Well, Zheng Shuang is in the rest area up ahead. There's a sign outside the tent. Why don't you go find her yourself?"

The silly beauty, realizing something was wrong, wisely jumped out of the battlefield.

She had already confirmed Hu Yanbin's face, so it couldn't be considered bringing an unknown person into the film crew.

However, Hu Yanbin's terrible acting skills told Meng Ziyi that he still had things to deal with with Zheng Shuang, and not wanting to be caught in the crossfire, Sister Meng had no choice but to get off the bus early and withdraw from the front lines of gossip. Hu Yanbin stared at her for two seconds, then silently nodded and said, "Okay, thank you for your help."

After saying that, he walked straight in the direction Meng Ziyi pointed out.

He just thanked me. If something happens, will I be held responsible?
The thought popped into the head of the silly beauty, and then she paused for a moment before rushing towards the rest area where Chen Xiu was.

"Brother Xiu, I think I've gotten into trouble! >_<"

"what happened?"

Chen Xiu leaned back in his chair, looking up at Meng Ziyi who rushed in like a whirlwind. He didn't seem too anxious, because he thought the silly beauty wouldn't cause too much trouble.

Seeing her relaxed boyfriend, Sister Meng immediately felt reassured.

After catching her breath, she told Chen Xiu everything that had just happened.

After saying that, the silly beauty stared at Chen Xiu with a nervous expression: "Brother Xiu, have I done something terrible? If Hu Yanbin did that to Zheng Shuang, will I be held responsible if I brought him in?"

"Which one?"

Chen Xiu sat up straight, looking at Meng Ziyi with curiosity, wondering what she was talking about.

After all, Hu Yanbin and Zheng Shuang are a couple, so the conventional kind of thing doesn't seem like a big deal.

"that is……"

Meng looked at Chen Xiu with a hurried yet unclear expression. Finally, she clenched her fists and punched the air twice to convey her meaning.

After understanding, Chen Xiu shook her head: "It's not that bad. Hu Yanbin is a public figure after all. If he still wants to make a living, he won't do such a thing. Besides, I've heard that his reputation is quite good."

"What if?"

"Hmm, shall we go take a look?"

"Yeah!"

The speed at which Meng Ziyi's eyes lit up, and the way his face lit up with a smile, made Chen Xiu feel that she actually wanted to see the live gossip more than the so-called "what if".

Chen Xiu glanced at the idiot beauty whose face was written all over her head, then got up from her chair and walked with Meng Ziyi toward the rest area where the female lead was.

Then they saw that a large crowd had gathered outside the rest area tent where Zheng Shuang was located...

Strangely, this group of people were sitting outside in the sun, and not a single one of them complained about the heat or made a sound.

When they saw Chen Xiu and his companion approaching, they all tacitly made way for a spot near the tent.

Standing here, the argument between the man and woman inside the tent reached Chen Xiu's ears.

"Didn't you say you broke up with him?! Why are you still in contact with him?"

"We only recently started contacting each other; we hadn't been in contact before!"

"Then why have you started contacting me again recently?"

"This is my business, it's none of your concern!"

When people are emotionally agitated, they tend to raise their voices unconsciously during arguments, without even realizing that they are being loud.

"How did you get in?"

"Don't change the subject, okay? We're talking about Zhang Han right now..."

"Who brought you in? If you don't tell me, I'll check the security footage myself!"

"...She was an actress with short hair, big eyes, and who didn't seem very bright."

Upon hearing this, Chen Xiu silently looked at Meng Ziyi beside her.

There were two actresses with short hair in the "Love O2O" crew, but the two characteristics that Hu Yanbin mentioned later directly pointed to Meng Ziyi.

The onlookers also turned their attention to it.

The main criteria were short hair and big eyes, and among the people present, only Sister Meng fit those criteria.

Stared at like that by everyone, even the silly beauty blushed slightly, but before she could do anything, the tent curtain was suddenly lifted from the inside.

Zheng Shuang, with a frosty expression and tightly pursed lips, was stunned by the scene before him after rushing out of the tent.

She just called her assistant away because she didn't want anyone to hear her argument with Hu Yanbin.

As it turned out, the assistant didn't hear it, but everyone else did!
Zheng Shuang glanced around at everyone in a panic, realizing from their varied expressions that they must have overheard her argument with Hu Yanbin.

For a moment, she felt her mind go blank and didn't know how to react.

When Hu Yanbin chased after them, the two people were suddenly dumbfounded.

Those standing outside the tent knew it was inappropriate for them to stand like that, but they didn't know how to disperse.

Just as the two sides were locked in a stalemate, a round of applause reached everyone's ears.

"Clap clap clap!"

Chen Xiu, who had drawn everyone's attention, lowered her hands and said, "It's lunch break now. If you don't have anything else to do, you can all go home."

After the male protagonist, who is also a wealthy man, spoke up, the onlookers began to leave.

Just when everyone thought the matter was over, a scream suddenly came from behind.

"Xiaoshuang, what's wrong?!"

Everyone turned to look and saw Hu Yanbin holding Zheng Shuang, who was as thin as a bamboo pole, with a helpless expression.

The fairy was leaning against him with her eyes closed, probably because she felt that her lover was a bit too big, so she fainted first.
