Chapter 411 Chen Xiu brings three women home for a meeting

"Splash splash splash~"

In the banquet hall, the creative team of "The Long Journey Home" stood together, receiving enthusiastic applause from the invited guests.

Chen Xiu clapped with a calm expression, while Wei Feng stood beside him clapping, though his glances were filled with admiration and amazement.

He was standing on the other side watching when Meng Ziyi and the other two came looking for him.

Because the venue was an open hall, he could clearly see Meng Ziyi pulling Reba and Tian Xinwei to rush over to find Chen Xiu. Then Chen Xiu said a few words to them, and the crisis was resolved.

What exactly are those two sentences?

This question puzzled Wei Feng for a long time, but he could never find the answer.

The more unexpected something is, the more curious you become; the more curious you are, the more you want to think about it.

This agonizing feeling prompted him to ask Chen Xiu a question when the applause ended.

"Boss, do you need my help later?"

"Okay, prepare a car, pick up Sister Meng, Reba and Xiaotian, and take them all back to Qingqin in Xiangshan."

"what???"

"Are you having trouble?"

"No, no, I just think you're really amazing..."

Wei Feng stared blankly at Chen Xiu, his admiration for him reaching an unprecedented high. Then, he thought of something else and began to make a final confirmation of Chen Xiu's identity.

"Boss, I'm taking them back to Qingqin in Xiangshan. Do you need me to stay and keep an eye on them for you?"

"No need, I can handle it myself."

After confirming, Wei Feng began to look up at Chen Xiu with a newfound respect.

Just as he was about to say something, Rao Xiaozhi, the director of "The Long Journey Home," who had just finished receiving applause from the guests, suddenly walked towards the two of them.

Seeing this, Wei Feng quickly straightened up and stepped forward, blocking Rao Xiaozhi first: "Director Rao, congratulations!"

"Hehe, the movie's success is the result of everyone's joint efforts."

Rao Xiaozhi said something polite, but his gaze kept drifting past Wei Feng to look at Chen Xiu behind him.

Seeing that Rao Xiaozhi's words were not entirely truthful and that his eyes kept glancing behind him, Wei Feng had already guessed Rao Xiaozhi's purpose in coming.

"Director Rao, do you need to speak with General Manager Chen?"

"Yes! Mr. Wei, may I speak with Mr. Chen alone?"

"Sure! What would you like to talk to me about?"

Chen Xiu stepped forward and then said to Wei Feng, "Yang Mi just contacted me. It seems she poached a few people from Jiaxing Media. I guess she's looking for resources. Go and handle it. See if there are any suitable supporting roles to arrange. Once you're done, go and arrange the cars."

Wei Feng nodded and left, glancing at Rao Xiaozhi as he went.

After everyone had walked away, Chen Xiucai went to Rao Xiaozhi and said, "Director Rao, you should be a director with 40 billion yuan in box office revenue by now, right?"

"It's all thanks to President Chen for giving me this opportunity..."

"No need for formalities, just tell me what you need me for."

Rao Xiaozhi's smile faltered for a moment, and after a moment's hesitation, he chose to get straight to the point.

"Mr. Chen, I have some ideas for the next movie that I'd like to discuss with you."

"You said."

"For my next film, I want to remake an urban fantasy film from the movie 'Little Days,' originally called 'The Method of Stealing Keys,' which is about a professional hitman who loses his memory and swaps identities with a third-rate actor..."

As Rao Xiaozhi explained the plot of the movie he wanted to remake, Chen Xiu got a general idea of ​​what it was all about.

This movie, starring Andy Lau and Xiao Yang, is known domestically as "Endgame," and was released during the 21 Spring Festival. Its box office performance was mediocre.

The reason Chen Xiu remembered it was because she didn't want to watch "Hi, Mom" ​​and "Detective Chinatown 3" was too bad, so she watched this movie instead. The director of the movie was indeed Rao Xiaozhi.

Thinking about this, Chen Xiu couldn't help but ask, "If you want to make this movie, then go ahead and make it! Is there anything we need to discuss?"

"Um……"

Rao Xiaozhi pursed his lips awkwardly and tentatively asked, "President Chen, I'd like to have my personal studio participate in the investment of this film. I wonder if that's possible?"

"Sure! What's the problem?"

Chen Xiu agreed very readily, without any change in expression.

With the consecutive successes of two films, it's understandable that Rao Xiaozhi wants to improve his treatment, especially since "Endgame" didn't perform well at the box office.

Seeing the hesitation on Rao Xiaozhi's face, Chen Xiu frowned and thought for a moment, guessing that what he wanted was not small.

What percentage do you want to invest?

"Uh... 30%?"

"You should finish the film project proposal first. Once the production cost is determined, I'll have Wei Feng take a look at it."

"Okay, thank you, Mr. Chen."

Chen Xiu smiled and nodded, thinking to herself: The greater a person's talent, the greater their appetite. There is no such thing as a person who only does things and has no demands... If Chen Sicheng hadn't been tamed back then, he would probably have been the first to make demands.

However, "The Journey Home" should be considered Rao Xiaozhi's peak, and it is unlikely that he will reach such heights in his later works.

After dealing with Rao Xiaozhi, Chen Xiu saw Wei Feng giving him an OK sign. Confirming that Meng Ziyi and the others had all left, he didn't linger and headed straight for the side door.

……

Xiangshan Qingqin, in the living room.

In order to shake off the paparazzi, the car took several detours, and Meng Ziyi and the other two actually arrived home later than Chen Xiu.

When Meng Ziyi pulled Reba and Tian Xinwei in one hand, Chen Xiu, who had taken off her coat and was wearing a black shirt, sat upright on the sofa.

His hair, hanging down and still slightly damp, proved that he had washed it after returning.

Hello! Welcome back.

Chen Xiu greeted the three women with a calm expression, showing no sign of nervousness whatsoever.

Seeing him like this, Meng Ziyi, Reba, and Tian Xinwei, who had been feeling complicated all the way, suddenly had the same thought: "Chen Xiu (Brother Xiu) is so young!"

Born in January 1993, Chen Xiu is not very old to begin with, but she dresses maturely only because of work requirements.

With his hair down and his eyes clear, he really looks like a recent college graduate.

After staring at Chen Xiu for a while, Meng Ziyi came to his senses and quickly remembered the two sentences Chen Xiu had said in the banquet hall.

"Let's go home first and bring Reba and Xiaotian back with us."

"If you have any questions, I will answer them when the time comes."

Thinking of this, Meng Ziyi immediately shook off Reba and Tian Xinwei's hands, walked up to Chen Xiu, pouted, and looked at him with a wronged expression.

"Brother Xiu, it's one thing for you to be with Reba, but why is Xiaotian involved too!"

Upon hearing this, Tian Xinwei's face scrunched up. She thought to herself: What do you mean, "Why is there still a Xiao Tian?" What am I lacking compared to you? You just met him a little earlier than me, didn't you?
Seeing Tian Xinwei's expression, Dilraba knowingly curled the corners of her mouth.

As a senior colleague, she used to often show a similar expression to Tian Xinwei, but now she's come to terms with it...

Chen Xiu looked up at Meng Ziyi, who had one hand on her hip and the other pointing at Tian Xinwei, and smiled, "Although you have accepted their existence in your heart, you still feel very wronged emotionally, which I can understand."

"Actually, I didn't think there was a problem at first. Because we were in the same production crew, it should have ended after filming. But later, Dilraba and Xiaotian wanted to maintain a one-way relationship with me, and so it has been going on ever since."

"As for why I accepted it."

Chen Xiu thought about it seriously for a moment and said, "I don't know how to answer right now, because all the answers sound like shameless excuses, even though I am indeed a shameless person."

"..."*3
Meng Ziyi, Reba, and Tian Xinwei, three faces with distinct styles, all wore similar expressions of surprise.

Before they came back, they were all thinking about how Chen Xiu would handle today's incident.

Meng Ziyi was thinking about what reasons Chen Xiu would use to persuade her, and then she put together a list of requirements, hoping to use this incident to make Chen Xiu settle down and stop adding people.

Reba had already come up with several reasons for Chen Xiu to persuade Meng Ziyi, which were basically based on realities such as high demand, good physique, and long endurance.

Tian Xinwei also had the idea of ​​suppressing her temper and temporarily lowering herself to behave herself.

However, to everyone's surprise, Chen Xiu gave such a frank answer.

Even more surprisingly, Chen Xiu's answer went on: "If you really want me to explain my motives, I really don't like to use words, so how about..."

Seeing Chen Xiu point upstairs, Meng Ziyi, Reba, and Tian Xinwei all thought: As expected of you!!
Meng Ziyi glanced at Chen Xiu, both amused and annoyed, and said, "Are you planning to seduce me again?"

"Xiaotian said she could help."

"Um???"

"Yeah! What's wrong? You've been holding me for so long, I can hold both your hands later..."

"I'll be in charge of pulling the feet."

Reba silently added insult to injury, and the three of them, working together, completely dealt with Meng Ziyi.

Upon hearing the division of labor among the three, the silly beauty placed her hands on her opposite shoulders, forming an X-shaped protective posture, carefully ran to sit on the single sofa, and stared at Reba and Tian Xinwei with a wary expression.

"Don't mess around, I can really hurt when I hit you!"

"Hiss!" *2
Reba and Xiaotian exchanged a smile, then chuckled and approached Meng Ziyi from both sides.

As the two drew closer, Meng Ziyi looked to Chen Xiu for help with his eyes, while also making a verbal threat.

"Let me tell you, I used to be able to take on three people by myself..."

"Pulling hair, slapping, or kicking?"

The details Tian Xinwei added made it impossible for Meng Ziyi to continue his act of pretending to be dead.

Just as the two were about to approach the sofa, and Meng Ziyi began to defend himself with exaggerated gestures, Chen Xiu spoke up: "You two come and sit here."

"Forehead……"

Tian Xinwei, who was having a great time, pouted regretfully, and then saw Reba wink at her, the meaning of which was obvious: the matter was resolved, and now it was time to watch Chen Xiu's performance.

When the two of them came over and sat down on the long sofa, Chen Xiu also got up and came to Meng Ziyi's side. She reached out and picked her up, and just hugged her like that, making a rustling sound on the single sofa.

Looking at Meng Ziyi, whose eyes were closed, red lips were pouting, and her neck and cheeks were flushed, Chen Xiu said, "Sister Meng, actually, there is a very obvious advantage to the four of you being together."

"What's the benefit?"

"When playing mahjong, there's no need to bother finding other people."

"Huh??" *2
Meng Ziyi and Tian Xinwei's identical reactions mean they've found common ground...
