Chapter 175 Meeting with Sun Tongyu, Visiting the Set of Reba
Ningbo, Xiangshan Film and Television City.

As the black Toyota Alphard was turned off in the parking space, Xiong Ben, in the driver's seat, whispered to the back, "Boss, we're here."

"Ok?"

Chen Xiu, who was lying in the back seat, slowly adjusted her seat and got up. She lifted her blindfold and looked at the green mountains and clear waters outside the car window with a slightly confused expression.

"Ah, here we are."

Chen Xiu muttered to herself, folded up the blindfold, and said to Xiong Ben, "It's a good thing Wu Jing is still filming in China, so you can come and take care of me. If he went to Africa, I guess I would have to drive myself."

"Boss, haven't you chosen a new assistant yet?"

"Well, Xiao Feng recommended his junior. He's currently preparing his graduation thesis and won't be able to start work until next month. It's always more convenient to have someone knowledgeable in law around."

Xiong Ben nodded and then handed a mask to Chen Xiu.

"Boss, I've already contacted Mr. Sun, whom you asked me to..."

Chen Xiu stopped putting on her mask, somewhat surprised, and asked, "Is Sun Tongyu so easy to talk to?"

"At first, he was quite wary of me, but after I told him that you were the one who wanted to see him, Mr. Sun seemed much more interested."

"So weird?"

Chen Xiu became even more puzzled. He had never even met Sun Tongyu, his ex-girlfriend Ali003, and he had only obtained her contact number through Zhang Yiming's connections.

Why would he be interested in me out of the blue?

Is he my fan?

Chen Xiu couldn't think of any other reason besides this.

Sun Tongyu has had a wife, and although he was betrayed by her, he must be a very straightforward and honest man...

Chen Xiu clicked her tongue softly, feeling that this question would probably only be answered after she met the person in question.

"When will Sun Tongyu have time?"

He said the day after tomorrow is fine.

Upon hearing this answer, Chen Xiu's eyes widened in a strange expression.

Then, quietly changed the original plan of visiting Reba on set first and then visiting Sister Meng on set to visiting Reba on set, then going to see Sun Tongyu first, and then coming back to visit Sister Meng on set.

Meng Jie's "Legend of the Condor Heroes" crew is currently filming on location in Jinyun and will not arrive in Xiangshan for a few days.

Chen Xiuben's original plan for this visit to the set was to visit two sets and also discuss some investment matters.

He originally thought that Sun Tongyu's schedule would be difficult to schedule, so he planned to visit both classes first, and then make a detour to Hangzhou to personally meet this Ali003.

As a result, the other party was surprisingly easy to contact, so the business trip plan naturally had to be adjusted accordingly.

"Big Bear, send a message to Sun Tongyu later and tell him that I'm going to Hangzhou tomorrow to have dinner with him."

"Okay, got it."

Chen Xiu nodded, put on her mask, and got out of the car.

Upon arriving outside Xiangshan Film and Television City, he contacted Fang Ying via WeChat and then successfully entered the "Three Lives Three Worlds, Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms" production crew through the help of crew members.

……

"Ugh! So boring, so incredibly boring."

She had her hair styled in a bun, her black hair cascading down like a waterfall. She wore a white inner layer with a pink tulle long skirt, and had a flame-shaped dot on her forehead. She was sitting in a chair, lost in thought.

Hearing her complaint, Xiaolin, the assistant sitting next to her, said, "Sister Ba, your scenes are about to be filmed. Don't you want to get ready?"

"I've read the script thoroughly, so there's nothing to prepare."

Reba shook her head, then looked expectantly at the phone on the table.

Seeing her like this, Xiaolin chuckled and teased, "Sister, when Brother Xiu comes over later, what are you planning to say to him?"

"Hmm... I haven't thought about this. Do you have any suggestions?"

"Tell me about our time on set?"

"What's there to say? Those people from Jiaxing avoid me when they see me, they don't even dare to greet me. Yang Mi doesn't dare to bully me either. Tsk, I was actually looking forward to it."

Reba rested her cheek on her hand and said with a hint of regret.

She had originally imagined that she would be bullied and harassed by Yang Mi on set, and then when Chen Xiu came to visit the set, he would shower her with domineering CEO-style pampering.

However, unexpectedly, Yang Mi was so disappointing.

He, the number one rogue ninja of Jiaxing, was swaggering around putting on an act in front of her, and she didn't even make a single move to retaliate...

"Drip!"

"Eh?"

The sudden notification made Reba sit up straight instantly, interrupting her inner rant about Yang Mi, and quickly check the information on her phone.

Upon seeing the message "I've joined the film crew," her body reacted faster than her brain, and she immediately stood up.

Seeing how agile Reba was, Xiaolin's eyes widened as she secretly wondered if her sister had some kind of training.
"Xiaolin, Brother Xiu has arrived. Let's head to the film set now!"

"oh oh."

A beat slower to react, Xiaolin hurriedly got up from her seat and followed Dilraba towards the film set where they were shooting.

When the two arrived at the perimeter of the film set, they easily spotted Chen Xiu sitting next to the director behind the monitor. She was so conspicuous because all the actors who didn't have scenes to film had gathered outside the set, gazing at Chen Xiu with expectant, nervous, and curious eyes.

Seeing the human wall formation, Reba pursed her lips, knowing that she probably wouldn't be able to spend time alone with Chen Xiu before leaving get off work.

At the same time, Chen Xiu, who had become the focus of the crew, also saw Reba and waved to her.

This gesture made Dilraba's lips curl into a smile, and she responded with an even more enthusiastic wave.

Witnessing the interaction between their "former colleague" Dilraba and Chen Xiu, a billionaire, these new actors from Jaywalk Studio all had one thought: So she has someone protecting her!
Although they couldn't help feeling envious, jealous, and resentful, they also knew that with Chen Xiu protecting her, Reba was not someone they could target or cause trouble for.

After greeting Dilraba, Chen Xiu turned to Lin Yufen, the chief director of "Three Lives Three Worlds," and said, "Director Lin, Dilraba is an artist in my company. If there's anything she didn't do well, please don't hold back!"

"Mr. Chen, I'll take your words seriously."

Lin Yufen joked with Chen Xiu naturally, and even gave an example: "Last year on the set of 'Love O2O,' I made Dudu cry several times, have you forgotten?"

"Haha! Director Lin, you're just being strict, which isn't necessarily a bad thing for the actors," Chen Xiu said dismissively.

As long as the director isn't specifically targeting the actors, a few words of criticism are really not a big deal.

The acting is so bad that even if the director doesn't criticize it, the audience will!
"If you say that, I feel relieved."

Lin Yufen nodded, and after seeing a replay on the screen, she gestured to the executive director to do another take.

Datang Pictures held a 15% investment share in the "Three Lives Three Worlds" project.

Chen Xiu, as the investor, came to visit the film set. In addition, he had a decent relationship with Lin Yufen. As long as he didn't interfere with the filming, there was no need for him to avoid the set.

Looking at Yang Mi on the monitor screen, and the new actors from Jaywalk Studio who were acting opposite her, Chen Xiu smiled slightly, feeling a touch of emotion.

In the past two years, in order to seek development and complete the 3 million yuan performance target, Jiaxing has adopted a new talent cultivation model of "gift packages" that specifically include filming and casting actors.

As the eldest sister, Yang Mi would bring several newcomers to the set to get roles whenever she starred in a drama, essentially supporting the entire Jiaxing Media group single-handedly.

If Dilraba hadn't switched to Datang in time, she would probably be starting to mentor newcomers by now.

Tsk tsk, Yang Mi worked so hard filming to meet her KPIs, and in the end, she lost her home.

As a result, she ended up with the smallest share.

Chen Xiu had no idea what he was trying to achieve...

With Lin Yufen's shout of "Cut! That take is a wrap!", everyone posing on set immediately stopped acting.

Among them, Yang Mi, who had noticed Chen Xiu long ago, walked towards him in her costume after some hesitation.

He stopped in front of Chen Xiu and looked at his puzzled gaze.

Yang Mi pursed her lips, just about to greet them and say something nice to try and make up for the unpleasant experience.

However, the first thing Yang Mi said was, "President Chen, you've come to visit the set!"

Simply reiterating what is already known is not inherently problematic, but it can feel a bit awkward.

"Uh-huh?"

Chen Xiu responded subconsciously, but then felt that Yang Mi's question was a bit strange.

Oh no, what if he thinks I'm deliberately making fun of him?
Yang Mi inwardly cursed, realizing that she hadn't originally intended to say that, but in her nervousness, the words just came out like this.

Calm down, I can still salvage the situation. If I use my brain and say something nice, we can shake hands and make peace.

Thinking it over silently, Yang Mi said again, "I didn't expect you to come visit the set. I'm sorry, that's not what I meant..."

This time, Yang Mi panicked and blurted out what was on her mind.

She wasn't usually a nervous person, but she had a disagreement with Chen Xiu before.

Over the past year, Chen Xiu has been too aggressive.

As a result, Yang Mi was afraid that when Chen Xiu saw her, she would remember the unpleasantness from before and then do something insignificant to Jiaxing. If that happened, their betting contract would be ruined.

With this in mind, she inevitably appeared nervous.

Fortunately, Chen Xiu didn't seem to mind too much: "You didn't know I was coming to visit the set, so it's not surprising that you didn't expect it!"

"Yes, you are right."

Yang Mi nodded repeatedly, her attitude appearing very attentive.

Sensing that she was not in good condition, she adhered to the principle of saying less and making fewer mistakes, and without any further preamble, directly stated the purpose of her visit.

"Mr. Chen, I was wondering if you have time later? I'd like to invite you to dinner..."

At this point, Yang Mi suddenly took two steps closer to Chen Xiu and said in a low voice, "I want to apologize to you in person for what happened last time."

"What happened last time?"

Chen Xiu looked at Yang Mi in confusion, for a moment he really couldn't remember such a small matter.

"Um... it's about Dilraba leaving Jaywalk Studio."

"That's all in the past. Apologizing is too much, and there's no need for a meal. Thank you."

"Oh, okay."

Yang Mi nodded with a strange expression, seemingly not expecting Chen Xiu to be so easy to talk to, a stark contrast to her attitude last time.
