Chapter 115: As Strangers
The director did not reply. Instead, he asked, “Have you heard of an interesting story about the entertainment industry?”
Chen Che shook his head and waited for the director to continue.
The director continued, “There was a movie that was about to start production. The director wanted to invite two big-name actors, but in the end, he couldn’t invite either of them. Hence, he thought of a way and first looked for one of them to say: If you agree to act, he will agree to act. The big-name actor felt that the other party’s reputation was comparable to his, and the cooperation seemed harmless, so he agreed. Then the director looked for another person and said that the other party agreed when he heard that you agreed. Are you willing? The other party thought about it and felt that since the other party thinks so highly of him, so he agreed.”
Chen Che was caught between laughter and tears. “That works too? Isn’t this a joke?”
The director shook his head. “Of course we can’t copy it, but you can get the other party to verify it with me. I’ll say some ambiguous words to leave an impression on Chu Zhengfei. She’s a talented program planner, but she’s a little naive.”
He sized up Chen Che. “She especially likes good-looking guests. It’s the same for every season of ’Fancy Youth’. Your looks and talent, coupled with your hard work and my support.”
A sly look flashed across the director’s eyes. “Your remuneration isn’t high. As long as the company agrees, unless she’s confused, how can there be any extra expenses between eight guests and nine guests?”
Chen Che restrained his smile and fell into deep thought.
The director patted his shoulder. “Don’t think too much. Try it. The chances of success are not low now. At least she has a good foundation. The rest will depend on how you communicate with her.”
He smiled and said, “Looking at your performance on the variety show today, coupled with your previous planning ability, I have full confidence in you.”
Chen Che took a deep breath and was in a daze.
“Go back and think about it.”
The director gave pointers again. “Anyway, it’s a good thing for you. Whether it succeeds or not, you have to see her tomorrow. A show isn’t important, but it’s important to leave a deep impression on her. Even if you don’t have a chance this time, she will still think of you next time. You have good looks, a sense of variety, and the asking price is low. The planning and production team will fight for such a high-quality guest. It’s just that you aren’t famous yet, so you haven’t reached the level where you have to be. You have to work hard to increase your exposure.”

He immediately stood up. “Thank you, Director. I won’t disturb you anymore…” “Wait!”
The director pulled him back to sit down. “I just told you to know your limits. Are you leaving after saying that? Aren’t you going to talk about this?”
Chen Che smiled in confusion. “Aren’t you done filming? What else is there to talk about?”
The director said, “The first episode isn’t over yet?”
Then, he stopped smiling. “I don’t know if you and Lin Xi knew each other in the past or what your relationship is, but when I asked you to help solve the CP and fan previously, I didn’t force you to quarrel with their manager. You took the initiative to take it on yourself. Now, you can’t just wash your hands off it.”
Chen Che was stunned. “Is this extortion?”
The director smiled and said, “Whatever you say.”
Looking at Chen Che, the director pondered for a moment. “If you have more abilities in the future, show them again. However, you have to take responsibility for what you’ve already taken over. I’ve decided to create a couple between you and Lin Xi. You’ll lead and she’ll cooperate.”
Chen Che was silent for a moment before lowering his head and chuckling. “Who are you? I’ve been enduring it for the past two years. What right do you have to make the decision? Will Lin Xi listen to you?”
The director smiled and said, “You don’t have to worry about that. I’ll consider all aspects.” He gestured to Chen Che. “In short, our planning team will follow this design plot in your future direction.”
Seeing that Chen Che was still in a daze, the director mistakenly thought that he had concerns.
He patted his shoulder. “Don’t worry. They’ve already made a fuss in front of me once. They won’t continue to make a fuss without any sense of propriety, especially after I solve the problem. No matter how popular they are, it’s useless to make a fuss.”
Chen Che was silent for a long time before he spread his hands and stood up. “I’ve said it before. To the current me, I’m grateful for your care and help. I’ll do my best for the production team. I don’t care if you can handle the others.”
The director nodded and sent him out.
It was unknown if it was a coincidence or if they were telepathic, but when Chen Che walked out, he happened to see Lin Xi coming out of the room, as if she was looking for Brother Liu.
Chen Che brushed past her and nodded in greeting.
However, Lin Xi only glanced at him. She didn’t even say anything or nod as she walked straight over.
Chen Che turned around in a daze and watched her leave. He smiled and sighed softly before returning to his room.
Previously, when they separated, he had agreed with Lin Xi not to show too much intimacy.
After all, they were both artistes now.
It was fine on the show. It could be said to be for the show’s ratings.
But if it was in reality, it would cause indelible damage to their careers.
Although he kept a distance, Chen Che could feel that Lin Xi was also paying attention to him.
He booked a plane ticket, took a shower, and prepared to rest.
The moment he closed his eyes, the image of a pair of eyes opening appeared in his mind.
Recalling the scene just now, Chen Che chuckled.
Perhaps she didn’t like a cold personality, even though her appearance was distinct edges and corners.
But when she looked at him with her big expressionless eyes, she looked so cute and harmless.
In any case, he was a little stubborn. He maintained a suitable distance to avoid giving others the impression that he was clinging to past popularity.
However, who would think that way?
Perhaps only he had a determination in his heart and wanted to prove his growth to others.
Those who could see might not understand why he was doing this.
Emotions were so complicated.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHowever, he had gradually adapted to his new identity and integrated into his current life. He lived in Chen Che’s name.
Life is full of new hope.
“Planner Chu?”
“Chen Che… is even more handsome in person.”
He woke up early and took a plane. The Imperial Capital Airport was picked up.
He arrived at an office building and went upstairs to meet Chu Zhengfei.
The people behind the scenes were indeed becoming younger. Zhang Enyi was not even 30 years old, but he was already the executive director of a top variety show.
Although he always modestly said that it was luck.
Chu Zhengfei was only in her thirties. Although she looked ordinary, her temperament was extraordinary.
She always had a smile on her face and looked elegant and gentle.
At this moment, the two of them finally met. Chen Che was fine, but surprise flashed across Chu Zhcngfei’s eyes. Her smile became even brighter as she greeted Chen Che.
It was definitely not the first time he had seen it. At least, he had seen it on the Internet, in photos, and even in videos.
Otherwise, how could they choose people?
However, it seemed that she did not intend to ask who recommended him. Perhaps the unknown woman had only recommended him.
Thinking about it, it made sense. If he had been arranged to be parachuted in, he would not have been eliminated in the first round as a foil.
This was the first time she had seen him in person.
Chen Che’s height, figure, and appearance were impeccable. He had once joked that he had almost wanted to marry himself.
However, to the opposite sex, who were used to seeing celebrities, they were already in the industry. It was normal for them to be too good looking.
Chen Che knew that Chu Zhengfei was obsessed with looks.
This was an open secret that everyone in the circle knew..
