Internet moguls are being held hostage by the entertainment system!

I'll film all of President Chen's scenes after Chapter 72!
Even after confirming it repeatedly, Chen Mingzhang still couldn't help but fall into a daze.

Although he didn't understand the internet, he knew how large Didi was.

Putting everything else aside, Chen Mingzhang used Didi (a ride-hailing app) for his daily trips between the hotel and the film set...

The thought that he was still Chen Xiu's client gave Chen Mingzhang a strange, indescribable expression on his dark face.

His throat was dry as he pursed his lips. "Mr. Chen, is Didi really your company? I'm sorry, the contrast is too great, I'm having a hard time adjusting."

"It's okay, could you give me back my phone first?"

"Okay, okay."

After getting her phone back, Chen Xiu found the best piece of evidence that could prove her identity.

"This is a photo of me when I founded Didi, this is a photo of me and my partner, and this is a commemorative photo taken after we received our first round of funding..."

"Okay, okay, Mr. Chen, I believe you."

The more you look at it, the more exaggerated it seems; the more you look at it, the more real it becomes.

In the end, Chen Mingzhang was the first to back down, waving his hands repeatedly to show that he had no respect for someone important.

Seeing Chen Mingzhang dismantle his own stage for showing off, Chen Xiu curled his lip in boredom.

"I'll be on the news in a few days, around the 14th. You can check it out then."

"No need, no need, I already believe it."

"I'm completely convinced," Chen Mingzhang said, expressing his utter admiration.

The other party backed down too quickly; Chen Xiu felt that her spell was over before it was even halfway through.

Tsk, this is boring. Let's get down to business.

"Director Chen."

"Ah? What's wrong?"

"Is it my leave request?"

"Oh, you're taking leave! How many days do you want to take?"

"Three days, from the 13th to the 15th, and we can come back to filming normally on the 16th."

"Oh, no problem. Is three days enough?"

Chen Mingzhang seemed like a completely different person; his tone of voice became exceptionally considerate and gentle, a stark contrast to his previous demeanor.

"That's enough. I'm just going there to witness the company merger and take care of some other things. I'll be back on the evening of the 15th."

Chen Xiu's attitude remained the same, and her smile was still as polite and gentle as ever.

Normally, when Chen Mingzhang saw him like this, he didn't feel much.

However, with the added status, seeing Chen Xiu's smile again, Chen Mingzhang immediately felt a sense of joy, as if bathed in a spring breeze.

The same state, presented by people of different identities, produces completely different effects.

A smile involuntarily appeared on Chen Mingzhang's lips.

"Mr. Chen, the matter you need to handle must be quite important. Isn't three days too tight?"

"I've already arranged the work schedule, no problem, after all, we can't delay the filming."

“Speaking of filming, Rain’s schedule has run into some issues, so I’ve been working overtime lately. How about we adjust your scenes with him a little?”

Chen Mingzhang subtly hinted to Chen Xiu that he had a "special bonus package" for him, and asked if he wanted to add it to the package.
Unfortunately, Chen Xiu had absolutely no desire to have more scenes added to her screen.

"I'd rather not, too many scenes would be a burden for me. If possible, could you try to adjust Dilraba's scenes a bit?"

"Gao Wen's scenes..."

"Is it difficult?"

Chen Mingzhang looked at Chen Xiu with a hesitant expression, but after thinking for only two seconds, he quickly agreed.

"No problem! It's easy to add more scenes for her, leave it to me."

"Thank you for your trouble." Chen Xiu smiled and nodded, then made an excuse and prepared to leave.

Just as she turned around, before she could even take a step, Chen Mingzhang called out to Chen Xiu.

"Mr. Chen, how about we exchange WeChat contacts? If you need to take leave in the future, you can just tell me on WeChat."

"Okay, add me in the work group."

After saying that, Chen Xiu left without looking back.

Not far from where they walked, Wu Qiang, who had been waiting for the results nearby, also came over very promptly.

"Mr. Chen, did Director Mingzhang say anything unpleasant?"

"No! Director Chen is very easy to talk to."

"Aha?!"

Wu Qiang was completely bewildered and wanted to ask Chen Xiu: Is the Chen Mingzhang you mentioned the same person as the Chen Mingzhang I understand?

Seeing the confusion on Wu Qiang's face, Chen Xiu patted his shoulder and said, "I have something else to do, so I'll go first. I'll treat you to a late-night snack when I get back from my leave."

"okay."

Wu Qiang nodded in a daze, not yet understanding what was going on, before Chen Xiu had already walked away.

His doubts were hard to dispel, so he thought for a moment and decided to go over and sound out Chen Mingzhang's opinion.

Then he saw Chen Mingzhang, who usually had a stern face, sitting in a chair with his legs crossed, humming a song...

"Director Chen, what happened? Why are you in such a good mood?"

"Old Wu, I've been looking for you! Come here, come here quickly. I've been thinking about adjusting the original filming schedule. Let's discuss it?"

"No need, Director Chen, just tell me how you want to film it."

Wu Qiang smiled and waved his hand, politely declining Chen Mingzhang's invitation, while secretly thinking to himself: You never usually consult with me, you always make decisions on your own, don't you?
Chen Mingzhang didn't find anything wrong with his "modestness".

"Okay, I'm going to make some adjustments to Gao Wen's scenes, giving her more screen time in the upcoming shoot. What do you think?"

"Gao Wen already has quite a few scenes; if we add more, she might have to take on as many as the female lead."

"No, it won't be that bad. Tang Yan has quite a lot of scenes in the early episodes. We can add a little more later, it won't have any impact."

"Okay! I have no objection."

Wu Qiang nodded, thinking to himself that he had really made a mistake in mentioning it.

After discussing the first adjustment, Chen Mingzhang proposed a second one: "From now on, I will film Mr. Chen's scenes, and you will be responsible for Tang Yan and Rain's scenes."

"Why is this again?"

"The second male lead's role needs more depth, which requires more techniques from idol dramas. I'm afraid you won't be able to handle it, so it's safer for me to handle it."

Chen Mingzhang knows how to say things in a pleasant way.

His high-sounding words left Wu Qiang stunned, feeling that something was amiss, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.

"Director Chen, isn't the male and female leads' scenes more important in our drama?"

“Their character designs are basically finalized; you just need to handle the execution. I feel there’s still a lot to explore in the character of President Chen.”

Chen Mingzhang drew a Tai Chi symbol in the air with his hands to describe how much he could "dig out" from Chen Xiu.

After saying that, he stood up from his seat before Wu Qiang could ask any more questions.

"Since you have no objections, let's adjust the filming schedule accordingly!"

"No, Director Chen..."

"Alright, you didn't offer any suggestions just now, so don't bring them up now. Don't forget, I'm the director."

"Okay, I got it."
