Internet moguls are being held hostage by the entertainment system!

Chapter 141 Hot Bar's Cute Little Thoughts

Night, Wanliu Academy.

In the bedroom, an ornate chandelier cast a soft, ethereal purple glow.

After two rustling sounds of dressing, Dilraba, wearing a white, shiny satin nightgown, sat on the edge of the bed with her long, straight legs together.

She used to not wear her hair in a bun, but after spending time with Chen Xiu, she found it too troublesome to tie her hair up every night, so she started wearing it in a bun.

Someone seemed to really like this round little head, so much so that the hair on the back of their head had already spread out in large clumps.

The wispy strands of hair on both sides were soaked with sweat and stuck firmly to Reba's still flushed face.

These minor issues were too much for Reba to worry about at the moment.

She lowered her head, her deep eyes shimmering like a pond, her gentle gaze fixed on the head on her lap.

Looking at Chen Xiu, who was resting with his eyes closed, Reba smiled silently, then placed her ten fingers on the scalp on the left and right sides of his forehead, kneading it with a firm and relaxed motion.

"I'm late today... I made you wait at the airport for a long time."

Chen Xiu's voice came from inside the bedroom, but his eyes remained tightly closed.

Reba looked at him with an unchanged expression, the light in her eyes seeming to soften a little: "Brother Xiu, your scalp is a bit tight, have you had more things to think about lately?"

"Um……"

A nasal sound came from Chen Xiu's slightly flared nostrils.

"After it's all over, I always feel a little empty inside. Seeing how calm and collected you are, my restless mind automatically starts thinking about work."

"..."

Hearing Chen Xiu describe the "wise man's time" so elegantly, Reba's slightly downturned lips revealed a hint of speechlessness.

Fortunately, Chen Xiu still maintains this normal state.

Otherwise, Reba felt she couldn't handle even if she took turns with both sizes...

Since the topic had turned to work, Chen Xiu, who was still enjoying herself with her eyes closed and was already very relaxed, didn't care whether Reba understood or not, and started talking about what she was thinking.

"I can rest assured that Sister Xiaoxiao is looking after the internet section, but I still need to go back and check on it from time to time, and attend some important meetings..."

"When it comes to personal investments, you have to think about it all the time. Long-term investments don't need to be touched, but newly added projects need to be carefully monitored and guided to prevent the founders from making mistakes..."

"As for Tencent, I just need to wait for the dividends. However, once 'Detective Chinatown' is released and the Series A funding round begins, the cooperation between the two parties will inevitably become closer, and the number of projects will increase..."

At this point, Chen Xiu suddenly stopped.

He listened quietly to what he said, and didn't ask any questions even though he didn't understand some of the content.

After waiting for a while and still seeing Chen Xiu not continue, he couldn't help but ask a question.

"what happened?"

"I think a lot of people are probably waiting to see me make a fool of myself, right?"

"how could be?"

"hehe."

Chen Xiu smiled wryly, her voice conveying a sense of profound understanding.

“Since the beginning of this year, I have frequently appeared in the public eye, and I don’t know how many people are hoping for my misfortune.”

"Including the promotion of 'Detective Chinatown' this time, many news headlines are 'A film project led by a billionaire is coming,' 'A genius writer writes and produces his own film,' 'The first work of an internet upstart crossing over into the entertainment industry'..."

“They are all praising me, making me look very high, and then hoping that I will fall hard so that they can have a chance to rush over and step on me.”

Reba paused with both hands, then slid them back, pressing Chen Xiu's stiff occipital muscles with gentler pressure.

"Brother Xiu, I think our movie will definitely be a huge hit!"

"..."

“Every decision you’ve made has been carefully considered, and every result has been successful. I believe this time will be no different.”

"Hehe, my head, which was a little throbbing just now, suddenly feels much lighter."

As she spoke, Chen Xiu turned over to her side, still keeping her eyes closed, and said, "Tell me about your experiences over the past three months. I'm a little curious too."

Upon hearing this, Reba's lips curled up, and she couldn't help but bend over, bending her back into the shape of a shrimp, and clasping her hands together to hug Chen Xiu's head.

"These past three months, when I was filming on location in the desert, enduring the wind and eating sand, I felt really tough. But now that you've asked me about it, I don't feel so tired anymore."

"Uh-huh."

After the initial bliss, Chen Xiu, now somewhat out of breath, patted Reba's lower back, signaling her to let go.

Reba bit her lip lightly, a sly glint flashing in her smiling eyes, before quickly sitting up straight and releasing Chen Xiu's head.

"Hu~~"

Once she regained her breath, Chen Xiu opened her eyes wide, propped herself up on the bed, sat up, and took several deep breaths.

His loose black satin pajamas slipped slightly with the sudden movement.

Dilraba's eyes lit up as she stared at the muscular deltoids beneath Chen Xiu's collarbone. She found it hard to resist his masculine charm.

After catching her breath, Chen Xiu turned to look at Reba: "Are you trying to suffocate me?"

"Hmm~, weren't you quite happy at first?"

Reba stuck out her tongue, and what she said made it impossible for Chen Xiu to blame her.

Because, at the beginning, I was really happy... I pinched my thumb and forefinger together and lightly flicked it on Dilraba's cheekbone, pretending to scare her, "Aren't you afraid that I'll postpone the gift I prepared for you, being so naughty?"

"A gift? What gift?"

Reba's eyes lit up, and her bright eyes seemed to sparkle with stars.

Chen Xiu turned around, lay back on her long legs, and nodded her head, signaling to continue.

Encouraged by the unknown gift, Dilraba's fingertip massage was exceptionally vigorous, with the pressure varying perfectly between light and heavy.

After enjoying the second half of the show, Chen Xiu didn't keep anyone in suspense: "When I was filming 'Love O2O' in Shanghai, I got you a role as the second female lead in a fantasy romance drama. When we film the sequel, you'll be the female lead."

"Brother Xiu, you're so good to me~"

Dilraba called out in a soft, sweet voice, waving her hands as she rushed over, just like Gao Wen in "Diamond Lover".

Chen Xiu sat on the edge of the bed, being held by her, and then said, "Don't you want to hear who the female lead is?"

"Who?"

"Yang Mi..."

"Wow!!"

Reba, who was still tightly hugging Chen Xiu, was so frightened by the name that she shrank back.

Seeing her reaction, which was much stronger than expected, Chen Xiu chuckled and said, "Yang Mi isn't a female ghost, why are you so afraid of her?"

"No, Brother Xiu, if I terminate my contract with Jiaxing and then work with Yang Mi on a movie, she'll still be the female lead, and I'll only be the second female lead. Won't she ruin me?"

With a mournful face, Reba pitifully grabbed Chen Xiu's hand, using her expression to ask for his help.

"I haven't even finished speaking, why are you in such a hurry?"

Looking at Reba's pouting face, Chen Xiu asked, "Aren't you curious why you were chosen as the second female lead without even needing an audition?"

"why?"

"Because your status is more than enough to play the second female lead, and more importantly, I invested in this drama, so you are the second female lead with investor backing."

"So I'm joining the cast with my own investment!"

Reba pointed to himself and chuckled foolishly.

"Yes, Yang Mi also brought her own investment to the production; her company, Jiaxing Media, also invested in this drama."

"If this cancels out, won't I lose my advantage?"

"But I know the director, so I can just say hello to her when the time comes."

Having already been emotionally torn between two conflicting emotions several times, Reba has learned her lesson this time.

She frowned, looking at Chen Xiu warily: "Could it be that Yang Mi also knows the director?"

"I don't know that, but this director was in charge of the 'Chinese Paladin 3' project, so they should know each other."

Chen Xiu gave her guess with a smile on her lips.

Heh, my heart, which had been hanging in suspense, has finally died...

Reba smiled wryly, then spread her arms wide and lay on the bed in a starfish shape, seemingly resigned to her fate, feeling that she would definitely be targeted by Yang Mi when she joined the crew in the future.

Chen Xiu lay down beside her, propping herself up on her elbows to look down at her pretty face, which was still chubby but looked distressed.

"When you join the crew, how about I visit you on set?"

"Um???"

Upon hearing this, Reba, who was cosplaying a dead fish with lifeless eyes, suddenly straightened up with shining eyes.

She pursed her lips tightly, her eyes narrowed as she stared at Chen Xiu, her gaze filled with endless daydreams. Various scenarios of domineering CEOs backing her up began to play on a loop in her mind…

When the contract was terminated, Chen Xiu had already demonstrated to her in front of everyone how to properly handle Yang Mi.

Looking back now, even though Dilraba has experienced that kind of thing, she still longs for it.

With Chen Xiu backing her up, what is Yang Mi compared to that?!

Dilraba, who had already begun to imagine Chen Xiu's visit to the set, felt her mind filled with a pleasant emotion, wave after wave, making her unable to stop...

Are you thinking about something embarrassing?

The sudden sound pulled Reba's thoughts out of the theatrical world she had created, directed, and acted in.

She looked up and saw Chen Xiu resting her chin on her hand, a faint smile playing on her lips, her eyes seeming to see right through her.

"Oh dear, no, no, I wasn't thinking anything strange."

Reba shook her hands repeatedly in denial, but dared not meet Chen Xiu's gaze.

That hesitant, squinting look showed no trace of the dejection one might expect from a cosplaying a dead fish.

Chen Xiu found Reba's appearance rather cute.

In fact, what Dilraba is thinking about right now is to start filming as soon as possible, get into the production team as soon as possible, and have Yang Mi come over to target her, and then... hahaha!

He laughed inwardly three times, feeling exceptionally happy, and began asking Chen Xiu about the details of the resources.

"Brother Xiu, what's the deal with this one you're talking about?"

"It's adapted from a novel called 'Three Lives Three Worlds, Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms,' and you play the second female lead, Bai Fengjiu, who is a little fox..."
