Internet moguls are being held hostage by the entertainment system!

Chapter 222 Meng Ziyi: Why are all these women eyeing my Xiu-ge?

Spring and Autumn Period. Tang Garden, the cast and crew of "Princess Agents".

Dressed in white with long, jet-black hair cascading down his back, Lin Genxin, who usually appears aloof, instantly transforms into a warm and welcoming figure upon seeing Wang Sicong visiting the set.

"Brother Cong, what brings you here all of a sudden?"

"Ok?"

Wang Sicong, who called out "brother" to Chen Xiu in "The Song of Qin King Breaking the Enemy's Formation" but was ignored, was stunned for a moment when he heard Lin Genxin call him "brother," and then his usual feeling returned.

"Yes, I just thought you were filming here, so I came to check it out."

Wang Sicong said nonchalantly, "Although I came to visit Lin Genxin on the way, if I put it more tactfully, everyone will be happy."

Sure enough, upon hearing that Wang Sicong had come specifically to visit him on set, Lin Genxin's already enthusiastic face became even more attentive.

"Brother Cong, wait for me a bit, I have one more scene to film. After that, let's go to the internet cafe and play games together!"

"Why are you playing games? Since you're already here, I'll introduce you to a friend and broaden your horizons."

"Your friend?"

Lin Genxin looked at Wang Sicong suspiciously, thinking: Your friends are just those internet celebrities! What's so special about getting to know them? And you think you'll broaden your horizons...?

Because of his familiarity with Lin Gengxin, Wang Sicong immediately understood the meaning behind his look.

"What are you thinking about? I'll take you to meet Chen Xiu; he's filming in the next movie set!"

"Oh, Brother Xiu! That's fine, that's fine."

Lin Genxin nodded repeatedly. Although he was a bit older than Chen Xiu, he called him "Brother Xiu" without any reluctance.

Upon hearing this form of address, Wang Sicong didn't see anything wrong with it.

Even in front of outsiders, he had to call Chen Xiu-ge (Brother Chen). If Lin Genxin dared to call Chen Xiu-di (Brother Chen), wouldn't he become the younger brother among younger brothers? Absolutely not.

"Okay! You go ahead and get busy. When you're done, come eat with me..."

Wang Sicong had only spoken halfway when his gaze shifted to the other side, following a petite and agile figure brushing past him.

Looking at Zhao Liying's doll-like profile, Wang Sicong recalled how Lin Genxin had been indifferent when he visited him on set before.

Thinking of this, Wang Sicong's muscle memory for flirting started kicking in again: "Hey beautiful, give me a chance, let's have dinner together!"

As soon as the words left his mouth, Wang Sicong regretted it, thinking that Zhao Liying would probably reject him again this time.

Surprisingly, Zhao Liying accepted the invitation without hesitation.

"Okay! Let's have a meal together then."

"Ok?"

The invitation went too smoothly, which made Young Master Wang's mind start to work.

Did you overhear my conversation with Lin Genxin just now?

"I didn't mean to hear it, it's just that you were talking too loudly."

Zhao Liying admitted it quite readily: if she hadn't learned that Chen Xiu would also be having dinner with these two, she wouldn't have wanted to waste her time accompanying such a spoiled brat!
Wang Sicong said unhappily, "So you actually want to have dinner with Chen Xiu, right?"

"Yes! Is there a problem?"

Zhao Liying looked at Wang Sicong as a matter of course. She didn't have any other thoughts about Chen Xiu. She just wanted to get to know a big shot in the industry, expand her network, and see if there would be any opportunities to cooperate in the future.

Seeing her straightforwardness, Wang Sicong, who had intended to criticize her for it, was instead amused.

"Oh, no problem, then come along! It'll be more lively with more people."

"Okay! See you later."

After saying that, Zhao Liying walked towards the filming location without looking back.

Watching her departing figure, Lin Genxin immediately ran to Wang Sicong's side and asked, "Brother Cong, if she sees Chen Xiu, do you still have a chance?"

"Uh-huh???"

Wang Sicong stared blankly at Lin Genxin, then pointed at him and asked, "What do you mean?"

"Um, aren't you interested in Zhao Liying?"

"What's interesting? Don't you know what kind of person I like? I just find her arrogant attitude amusing. I can flirt with her casually. No, what do you mean I have no chance if she meets Chen Xiu? Am I that much worse than Chen Xiu?"

"Not bad, not bad at all. Chen Xiu is far inferior to you. His father is nowhere near as capable as your father."

As soon as Lin Genxin finished speaking, his heart jumped into his throat: "You deadbeat, how could you talk so fast?!"

Just as he turned pale, his forehead was covered in sweat, and he was at a loss, Wang Sicong burst into laughter.

"Haha! You're right. No matter how awesome Chen Xiu is, he's definitely not as awesome as my dad. He's still very capable."

Wang Sicong has never shied away from the topic of relying on his father's connections, and has even expressed pride in being the son of Wang, the richest man in China, on more than one occasion.

Seeing that he had managed to appease this difficult rich kid, Lin Genxin realized that this was not a place to stay for long.

"Brother Cong, I still have a scene to film, how about..."

"Go, go, go, hurry up and finish filming, then call Zhao Liying, let's go eat together."

Wang Sicong waved his hand while taking out his phone from his pocket. With more people eating, he needed to inform Chen Xiu.

……

"Oh, you also brought two friends."

Hearing Wang Sicong's voice on the phone, Chen Xiu turned to look at Meng Ziyi, who was clutching the script, and said, "Then I'll bring a friend too. See you tonight."

The moment the call ended, Meng Ziyi immediately came over. "Xiu-ge'er, you just said you pulled Jing Tian over from horseback, did you do it with one hand?"

"Ah."

"Then how about you tug at me another day?"

"It's nothing, why would I pull you?"

Chen Xiu looked at Meng Ziyi with a strange expression, wondering if she should take this idiot to get his brain checked.

Meng Ziyi, however, argued vehemently: "If you can pull Jing Tian, ​​then you can definitely pull me too! It feels like being pulled from one horse to another is a lot of fun, I want to try it out."

Seeing the enthusiastic, silly beauty, Chen Xiu immediately changed the subject.

"I'm having dinner with Wang Sicong later. He'll be bringing two friends. Do you want to come along? If not, I'll bring Xiao Luo instead."

"Wow! After we're done, can we play the game of grabbing someone with one hand right now?"

"Let's play in the room tonight."

"……also."

Meng Ziyi pouted and nodded. She had just heard the details of how Chen Xiu had saved Jing Tian's life.

After listening, Meng Ziyi, who was impatient but not stupid, also figured it out: Chen Xiu had no interest in Jing Tian; at most, it was Jing Tian who was interested in Chen Xiu.

Meng Ziyi felt that Chen Xiu was such a good person, and there were plenty of glamorous and shameless women in the entertainment industry who were interested in him, so she couldn't possibly worry about them all.

There's nothing to worry about as long as he's not interested in other people.

With this in mind, the silly beauty's attention began to shift in other directions, such as pestering Chen Xiu to play a game of pulling people with one hand, where the hand was Chen Xiu's hand and the person was herself.

"Brother Xiu, let's practice a few times in the room tonight, and then we'll go to the horse farm tomorrow!"

"This move is dangerous, it's not fun..."

"I've never played this before, can you teach me how to play?"

“Playing in the room is the same.”

Faced with this highly dangerous game, Chen Xiu remained tight-lipped.

Meng Ziyi also persisted in various ways. Even after filming was over, when the two went to the hotel to have dinner with Wang Sicong, she was still trying to persuade Chen Xiu to ride a horse and pull someone with one hand.

"Brother Xiu, just play with me for a bit..."

"What games are we going to play?"

Seeing Wang Sicong suddenly interrupt, Meng Ziyi had no choice but to shut his mouth in embarrassment.

Chen Xiu glanced at the empty seats on either side of Wang Sicong and said, "Didn't you say you had friends?"

"They were on their way. Everything was going smoothly until the last scene, when they suddenly started having to do multiple takes. I didn't want to wait, so I came over first."

"Are they actors?"

"Yes, Lin Genxin and Zhao Liying."

Chen Xiu nodded nonchalantly. He invited Wang Sicong to dinner out of politeness, and two more people wouldn't matter.

While waiting idly, Wang Sicong took the initiative to start a conversation.

"Your name is Meng Ziyi, right?"

"Well, that's right!"

Meng Ziyi looked at Wang Sicong somewhat perfunctorily, thinking: This guy is really greasy, and doesn't seem to know how to chat. He'd probably be easily fooled by women...

"Um, you just said you were hanging out with Brother Xiu, can you tell me exactly what you were doing?"

Wang Sicong said this while looking at Chen Xiu, and only said the second half of the sentence when he saw that Chen Xiu didn't react.

Meng Ziyi frowned and thought for a moment, then felt there was nothing wrong with talking about it: "I want to play a game with Xiu-ge'er, pulling someone up on horseback with one hand. Have you ever done that?"

"Um... I've seen him play it before."

Wang Sicong pointed at Chen Xiu, and the scene he had witnessed at the horse farm that day also came to mind.

"You've seen it, what exactly happened? Tell me."

Meng Ziyi said excitedly. It wasn't that she suspected Chen Xiu was lying to her, but rather that having a third-person perspective would make such exciting things more interesting.

Wang Sicong thought to himself, "That day, Jing Tian's horse suddenly went out of control, and then I saw Brother Xiu ride his horse over, reach out and pull Jing Tian onto his horse's back. It felt like a scene from a TV drama. Brother Xiu let go of the reins with both hands..."

The scene, told by Wang Sicong, feels vivid and captivating.

Meng Ziyi felt that although he could not go there in person, his heart longed for it, which made him even more determined to have Chen Xiu play this game with him.

After Wang Sicong finished speaking, the door to the private room was pushed open from the outside, and a man and a woman wearing masks and hats came in together.

The two removed their masks and hats, revealing their celebrity faces, and immediately went to greet Chen Xiu.

"Mr. Chen, hello, I am Lin Genxin."

"Mr. Chen, hello. My name is Zhao Liying. You can just call me Liying."

With just a self-introduction, everyone in the private room could tell the difference.

Lin Genxin is nothing special, but Zhao Liying is deliberately trying to get closer to Chen Xiu. Judging from their development, this is not surprising.

Chen Xiu's attitude towards the two was merely polite, lacking much enthusiasm.

When the dinner party started, Meng Ziyi kept an eye on the exceptionally enthusiastic Zhao Liying, feeling that all these older women in the entertainment industry were eyeing her Xiu Ge, this piece of Tang Monk's flesh.
