Chapter 221 The Fat Sheep King Tears Onions
When the crew saw Chen Xiu sandwiched between two women, they immediately understood and turned around, then quietly pricked up their ears and gestured to those around them to be quiet and watch the drama unfold.

Meng Ziyi stared at Jing Tian nervously, thinking: "I've been keeping such a close eye on Xiu Ge'er, how could you possibly find a chance to steal her away?"
Seeing Meng Ziyi's face full of doubt and wariness, Jing Tian immediately understood what the little girl was thinking.

It's simply because she likes Chen Xiu!
Jing Tian glanced at Chen Xiu, who stood beside her with an elegant demeanor, and felt that Meng Ziyi's taste was indeed good, but she did not think so in her heart.

There are plenty of people in the entertainment industry who like each other. Why should you give in just because someone else likes the same person?

Thinking this, Jing Tian's bright face broke into a sweet smile again: "Chen Xiu, and who is this?"

The meaning of the character "孟".

Chen Xiu opened her palm upwards and held it up in front of Meng Ziyi, solemnly saying, "She is an artist in my company and also the female lead in 'The Song of Qin King Breaking the Enemy's Formation'."

"Hello, I am Jing Tian."

Jing Tian extended her hand to Meng Ziyi, displaying a poised and graceful demeanor.

Meng Ziyi originally wanted to ask directly what the "life-saving grace" was all about, but when she saw Jing Tian's outstretched hand, she couldn't help but recall the incident with Nezha last time, as well as her mother Wang Qian's many teachings.

Calm down, I need to calm down. I can't get angry before I understand what's going on!
After chanting the incantation many times in his mind, Meng Ziyi chuckled and took Jing Tian's hand.

"Hello, Senior Jing Tian! I'm a student from the 13 class of the Performance major at Beijing Film Academy. Xiu Ge'er is your junior!"

"cough."

Jing Tian's smile froze for a moment, and a flash of annoyance quickly crossed her eyes.

For women, age is an absolute taboo subject.

Meng Ziyi's seemingly warm greeting was actually a reminder to Jing Tian that she was older than Chen Xiu.

Then, perhaps due to a matter of personal talent, when the topic of her relationship with her senior came up, Meng Ziyi's expression was quite innocent, and her voice was quite soft and cute, giving off a slightly tea-like vibe...

Chen Xiu glanced at Meng Ziyi with amusement, thinking: What's there to be nervous about! What's there to be nervous about between me and Jing Tian?
Just as the three stood facing each other, each lost in their own thoughts, a cynical voice suddenly reached their ears.

"Brother Xiu, I've come to visit you on set!"

The three of them followed the others and looked in the direction of the sound. They saw Wang Sicong walking over in a nonchalant manner, wearing a Versace short-sleeved shirt that looked like it came from a street stall, paired with jeans and Yeezy 350s.

He was visibly taken aback when he saw Jing Tian.

After hesitating for two seconds, considering that there were so many people watching, Young Master Wang pretended nothing had happened and walked over, but only stood next to Chen Xiu.

"Brother Xiu, I've come to visit you on set!"

Wang Sicong greeted him again, but his voice was much softer than before.

Chen Xiu had spoken to Wang Sicong on the phone the day before yesterday, and she wasn't surprised by his visit to the set; she was just curious why he was able to get in so easily.

"And how did you get in?"

“I told them I was coming to visit you on set, and the security guards outside the film set let me through. My face is my pass.”

Wang Sicong looked at Chen Xiu with great smugness. When he turned his head to avoid Jing Tian, ​​his gaze then fell on Meng Ziyi.

"Hey beautiful, hello there! Let's add each other on WeChat later... ah!"

Before he could finish speaking, Wang Sicong let out a loud scream that echoed throughout the venue, drawing the attention of everyone else.

He felt an indescribable soreness in the muscles of the back of his neck, as if his soul had been gripped.

Before Wang Sicong could turn around to check, Chen Xiu had already moved close to his side, her voice low and menacing: "Don't flirt with my people, understand?"

"understand."

Wang Sicong, sweating profusely, said that his reaction to the conversation was purely muscle memory; his brain hadn't caught up before the words came out.

Now, after being "reminded" by Chen Xiu, his wandering thoughts instantly became crystal clear.

Glancing at the "honest and simple" Wang Sicong, Chen Xiu slowly released his grip on the back of his neck.

Having regained his freedom, Wang Sicong took two deep breaths. Long-standing muscle memory made him subconsciously want to open his mouth and fire back to get revenge.

However, when he looked up and met Chen Xiu's gaze, he reluctantly shut his mouth.

Witnessing all this, Meng Ziyi covered his mouth and sneered, feeling very satisfied with Chen Xiu's words "my man".

Jing Tian didn't like Wang Sicong much either. Seeing him get the short end of the stick at Chen Xiu's hands, she found it a bit funny and her reaction happened to be in sync with Meng Ziyi's.

The two women covered their mouths at the same time, laughed at the same time, looked at each other at the same time, and then put their hands behind their backs, putting on a serious expression.

This was a remarkable display of perfect synchronicity, a skill that Chen Xiu secretly admired.

He was just about to say something to defuse the situation when he noticed that the commotion he and his group were causing was being watched as a spectacle by the others present…

"There are too many people here, why don't you come with me to the rest area to talk?"

"Oh that's fine!"

"no problem."

Chen Xiu nodded to Wang Sicong and Jing Tian, ​​then turned to look at the silly beauty who really wanted to go but didn't know how to ask.

"Ziyi, you come too. Bring the script, and let's go over the lines for the next scene."

"Well, okay!"

Meng Ziyi nodded with a simple smile, then lifted the hem of her skirt and ran to her assistant to get the script book.

……

In the rest area, Meng Ziyi sat alone on one side, holding a script and pretending to read it, but her ear was being strained to the side.

Chen Xiu sat in a folding chair, looking at Wang Sicong and Jing Tian in front of her, and said, "Which of you two will go first?"

"Uh, you go first." Wang Sicong turned around with a sullen look, put on his headphones, and pretended that he didn't intend to eavesdrop.

However, with headphones, only the user knows whether there is sound or not.

Seeing this setup, Jing Tian knew she couldn't have a deep conversation with Chen Xiu today. Fortunately, there was still some time before "The Glory of Tang Dynasty" wrapped up filming, and since the two production teams were so close, there was no need to rush.

Thinking of this, a smile spread across Da Tian Tian's bright face.

"As I just said, I heard you were filming in Hengdian and wanted to come and thank you for saving my life."

As soon as the keyword appeared, Meng Ziyi, who was pretending to read the script, suddenly perked up and moved to the side.

“You thanked me a long time ago, and I also said it was nothing and I didn’t need to take it to heart.”

“It doesn’t mean much to you, but it’s very important to me.”

"So what is it? Tell me!" Meng Ziyi shouted in her heart, clutching the script book tightly.

"How many more times do you have to thank me before you can get over this?"

"You'll just have to wait and see, many, many times."

Hmm? Are they driving?

Meng Ziyi frowned, holding up the script to cover his eyes, only revealing one eye to look at Chen Xiu and Jing Tian, ​​but found that there was no ambiguity between them.

Chen Xiu sat there with a helpless expression, while Jing Tian stood up with a smile to say goodbye, as if her visit to the set was really just to express her gratitude.

One eye watched Jing Tian walk away, and Meng Ziyi's lips, hidden behind the scriptbook, curled down as she thought: Xiu-ge'er is too popular, I have to keep a close eye on him!

Watching Jing Tian leave like that, Chen Xiu frowned in confusion.

However, he still had someone to deal with, so he didn't think about it in detail.

Chen Xiu patted Wang Sicong on the shoulder and said directly, "Why can't we talk about this over the phone? Why do we have to come over and talk to each other in person?"

"Hehe, that must be business!"

Wang Sicong chuckled and turned around. Before discussing the matter, he glanced at Meng Ziyi to the side.

"It's alright, just tell me! I don't usually pay much attention to business..."

"Brother Xiu, I'll go wait for you to rehearse your lines."

Meng Ziyi took the initiative to get up, picked up a folding chair, and moved a few meters further away.

She followed along to eavesdrop only because she was worried about Jing Tian; she had absolutely no interest in Wang Sicong.

Seeing that Meng Ziyi had walked away, Wang Sicong smiled apologetically at Chen Xiu and said, "Didn't Mobike's Series C financing just end?"

"Hmm, your Series B investment should have appreciated several times over by now, right?"

"Okay."

Wang Sicong nodded, his face showing joy, but not intensely.

Many of the companies he invested in have gone public, and the returns have always been good, but these companies are all quite ordinary, and none of them are internet giants like Mobike.

Chen Xiu asked again, "So what kind of work did you want to talk to me about?"

“When Hu Weiwei contacted me last time, I talked to her about Mobike’s Series D funding, but she kept refusing to budge. Could you put in a good word for me with her?”

"Do you want to continue investing in the Series D round?"

"Yes, the shares we got in the Series B round were still too few."

Looking at Wang Sicong's pleading expression, Chen Xiu felt a strange feeling.

He was already planning to jump ship during the Series D round, but Wang Sicong actually wanted to increase his position. The shares he had acquired at a low price were diluted by this additional investment at a high price.

Once Mobike enters a full-blown battle and its valuation falls, Wang Sicong's stock profits will likely be minimal.

Before Chen Xiu could respond, Wang Sicong looked at him with curiosity.

Why do you have such a strange expression?

"Luckily I'm not short of money, otherwise you would be a big fat sheep."

Chen Xiu said meaningfully that after he sold the remaining shares of Didi to Ma Yun, he was no longer short of cash flow.

Chen Xiu plans to exchange her Mobike shares for something more valuable, such as Meituan shares...

"What do you mean I'm a big fat sheep?"

"It's okay, you can vote if you want! But I won't help you find Hu Weiwei, you have to find him yourself."

"Brother Xiu, I'm begging you..."

"Calling me 'uncle' won't do any good!"

Chen Xiu raised her hand decisively, ending the topic. Then she remembered that Wang Sicong had come to visit the set, and she couldn't just let him go back like that.

"You rarely come all this way, why don't you grab a bite to eat later!"

"Tsk, that works, but I have to go visit another set first, and I'll come over later."

"You have another class to visit?"

"Yes! Lin Genxin is also filming here. He's working with Zhao Liying on a drama, right next to yours..."
