Which top celebrity doesn't support a few female stars?

Chapter 79 Sure enough, once someone becomes famous, they can get on the Spring Festival Gala.

Su Yuran was young and naive, and wouldn't easily make connections; she didn't think anything was wrong.

As instructed, Su Yuran sat down in the chair in front of the desk and quickly explained with a smile, "It's my fault, I didn't report my itinerary to President Li in time."

Li Zhou shook his head upon hearing this: "Teacher Yu Ran's emotional intelligence has declined."

I casually reminded her, "We're so close, it's not right for you to say things that sound distant."

Towards the end, Li Zhou's tone became slightly more affected.

It sounded a bit sarcastic, teasing, and playful, which made Su Yuran catch her breath.

She bit her lip nervously, almost unable to look Li Zhou in the eye.

In contrast, Li was completely calm and composed, with no emotion in his demeanor, complexion, or eyes.

He appeared remarkably calm.

There was no way of knowing that someone was squatting between Li's feet, busy at work, actively and slowly easing his growing anger.

It must be admitted that Li Zhou's attention was not focused at the moment, and his thoughts were very chaotic.

For example, he felt that some things are easy to learn without a teacher.

Not long ago, Ning Xixia was quite tongue-tied, and even now, while she can't be described as eloquent, she can still quickly find the right angle to provoke—

Fortunately, Su Yuran reacted quickly, turning around and honestly stating, "Thank you for the reminder, President Li. I will keep it in mind and pay attention."

Seeing that Su Yuran's tone had become much more sincere, Li Zhou added, "Personally, I think we shouldn't rely too much on verbal emotional intelligence."

"Once path dependence is formed, it becomes very difficult for people to believe in your sincerity."

After saying that, Li Zhou changed the subject: "Did you come to see me for something?"

"No—" The simple question made Su Yuran stammer a little, "I guess so."

Seeing that Li Zhou was just looking at her quietly, Su Yuran's eyes darted around for a moment, and finally she asked weakly, "Am I... now... able to meet President Li's standards?"

Li Zhou sighed and shifted his position slightly: "What's so great about me that you all covet me so much?"

He has rarely gone on any events in the past two or three months, but there are still quite a few female celebrities who want to throw themselves at him.

Recently, there's the big star Hu Yatong, and the completely unknown He Yunxi.

Further ahead are several actresses from the "Xu" film crew—if they go out more, who knows how many more there will be.

Su Yuran was well aware of Li Zhou's allure; she simply stared at him longingly.

Seeing this, Li Zhou spoke frankly: "To be honest, I've made too many friends in the past, which has spoiled my judgment. So I can't be attracted to someone at first sight—"

"After all, you're the first actress I've ever promoted. If you can become as popular as Zhang Jiayan, I'll give you a chance."

Hearing the last words, Su Yuran blushed slightly, but still said resolutely, "Okay! I will definitely become a top star!"

Zhang Jiayan is that top female star born in the 90s, you could say she's the gatekeeper of the top female stars.

Even with Li Zhou's strong support, it would be difficult for Su Yuran to catch up.

Therefore, Li Zhou's refusal can be considered another polite refusal.

To put it simply, if Su Yuran weren't sitting opposite him, Li Zhou definitely wouldn't be able to remain so calm and composed.

Admittedly, Li Zhou was initially somewhat interested in Su Yuran—after only seeing her video footage.

However, although the person in person completely matched the photo, there was just something missing when we met in person.

Pretending to glance casually at Ning Xixia busily working under the table, Li Zhou seemed to remember something: "You should get ready—"

"A new drama has already been arranged for you. If things go smoothly, filming will begin next month."

Su Yuran quickly responded, "Oh, oh—"

He immediately asked curiously, "So, what's the price this time?"

"There's no need for such a high price." Li Zhou waved his hand. "Just perform well and strive to reach new heights."

""

Although she knew that even if there was a price to pay, it wouldn't be a reward for herself, Su Yuran still couldn't help but feel a sense of loss after hearing these words.

He simply nodded silently, then exchanged a few more casual words before getting up and leaving Li Zhou's office.

It's worth mentioning again that, thanks to Mr. Xu's generosity, Li Zhou owns 10% of Shengshi Entertainment's shares and will receive 10% of the profits at the end of the year.

There's no need to waste any more energy thinking about the consequences. With that kind of thinking, you might as well support a few more female celebrities.

That's why Xu Qingyi is such a good boss; she knows exactly how to handle someone like Xiao Li.

No sooner had Su Yuran left than Li Zhou kicked his foot, pushed his chair back, pulled out Ning Xixia who was hiding under the table, and gave her a good beating.

Ning Xixia bit her lip tightly, remaining silent, directly experiencing Li Zhou's furious and ferocious expression, as if a king had descended from the sky.

A few minutes later, Ning Xixia, finally feeling the heat surge again without any barrier, acted as if nothing had happened. She took out a specially blended perfume from her pocket, sprayed it into the office, and then obediently sat down opposite Li Zhou.

"So—you really didn't have those feelings for Teacher Yu Ran."

Her feelings at the time were very clear: the more Su Yuran chattered on, the more indifferent Li Zhou became; but as soon as Su Yuran left, he immediately flew into a rage.

In matters like this, Li Zhou has always been very frank: "There's no point in deceiving them. If I don't feel anything, it's like I'm rewarding them, so why bother myself?"

"You should know better than anyone that I was the one who was half-heartedly going along with it."

Ning Xixia couldn't help but sigh, "Since I unexpectedly entered the entertainment industry, the luckiest thing for me is that I look like you, otherwise—"

Otherwise, she wouldn't know who would benefit from all those years of holding back.

Putting aside any romantic feelings, just looking at Li Zhou's face is a huge win no matter what.

Finally, Li Zhou bluntly said, "You should also prepare well. Whether you can take it to the next level depends on your next drama."

"The Legend of Sword and Fairy was planned to premiere at the end of next year from the very beginning of the project. This was done to ensure top-notch post-production and to complement the development of cultural tourism infrastructure."

"Understood." Ning Xixia responded immediately, said a few more words, and then left Li Zhou's office.

To Li Zhou's surprise, there were quite a few things to do that day.

A little later, assistant Yang Sisi knocked on the office door and entered, excitedly reporting: "The Spring Festival Gala program team has sent an official invitation—"

Li Zhou: "————"

Although he was very popular before, he had never received an invitation to the Spring Festival Gala.

The main question is, what kind of performance could Li Mou have on the Spring Festival Gala? Would he be able to perform something like "Zhou, you shine"?

Now there is room for invitations.

As expected, Yang Sisi quickly mentioned the Spring Festival Gala program team's idea: "We hope that President Li can accept the invitation to sing the song 'Rice Fragrance'."

"However, the Spring Festival Gala production team has an additional expectation—if you, Mr. Li, have any inspiration, you could create a new song."

After explaining everything, Yang Sisi concluded: "The production team hopes to provide a clear answer by the middle of next month."

Li Zhou: "Okay, you can go ahead and get busy."

He didn't give an immediate answer because he was indeed a little hesitant about whether or not to appear on the Spring Festival Gala.

Because in the last ten years, the reputation of the Spring Festival Gala has deteriorated year by year, and in the last two years it has hit rock bottom.

It's hard to say how many viewers it will have.

Fortunately, Li Zhou knew exactly who to contact for this kind of perplexing matter, and he immediately made a call to Boss Xu.
