Chapter 9: Cafe conversation

Views:

Zhuang Baihua didn't know that his employees outside the cafe were abandoning him and turning to the star sitting opposite him.

Zhuang Baihua got straight to the point: "Mr. Tang, you should know why I asked you to come up. In fact, it is not appropriate for you to appear in our company frequently."

Tang Feng smiled, his white teeth flashing: "I don't have any movies to shoot recently, so I'm quite free, so I have time to explore the objects of my interest."

"As for why I came to your company." He paused, revealing a distressed expression, "I went to Xiaoyue's school to look for him, but he is often not in school, so I had no choice but to come here."

Tang Feng is an actor and he manages his facial expressions very well. Even just frowning makes people feel close to him.

Zhuang Baihua was thinking that Chi Yue was not studying hard, so he would find a chance to talk to him about it. Even if he was interning in the company, he had to ensure his studies.

And Tang Feng actually called Chi Yue "Xiao Yue". Zhuang Baihua suddenly felt like his child was being harmed. He said, "There are so many boys and girls who want to enter the entertainment industry. Why do you have to pester Chi Yue? Mr. Tang even sent flowers. Do you need to send flowers to enter the entertainment industry?"

Zhuang Baihua's questions were already a bit impolite, but Tang Feng didn't mind. Instead, he smiled even more: "The flowers I sent represent friendship. I hope to touch Xiaoyue's heart with this small gift."

He said slowly, "I know that many people are prejudiced against those in the entertainment industry, thinking that we are just fooling people. I hope to impress Xiaoyue with my sincerity, so I gave him those gifts and came here to find him."

Tang Feng was so sincere and polite that Zhuang Baihua couldn't continue to be mean to him. He could only advise him, "Chi Yue is already very busy with his studies and internship, and he doesn't have the energy to deal with other things, so don't bother him anymore."

Tang Feng was very surprised: "Xiao Yue herself didn't reject me directly, why is Mr. Zhuang so sure that he won't be moved by me?"

"And..." Tang Feng looked at Zhuang Baihua with a smile, "Xiaoyue is just an ordinary college student. It is really an honor for him to be favored by Mr. Zhuang."

Tang Feng's words were euphemistic, but what he actually meant was that Chi Yue and Zhuang Baihua had nothing to do with each other, and that Zhuang Baihua was meddling too much.

Zhuang Baihua knew that this was where he was in the wrong. He had no right to care about Chi Yue's affairs. He couldn't tell others that he kept Chi Yue away because he had traveled through time and knew that these supporting characters were all crazy.

In the eyes of others, Tang Feng is gentle and polite, and he is also a movie emperor. His words carry weight in the entertainment industry. It is Chi Yue's blessing that he is willing to take a fancy to her. If he really cares about Chi Yue, he should let Chi Yue try the entertainment industry.

Speaking of which, if I care too much, others will misunderstand the relationship between Chi Yue and myself.

Zhuang Baihua pondered for a moment and said, "I will have a good talk with Chi Yue about this matter, but I hope you must do one thing, that is, you cannot force Chi Yue."

Tang Feng smiled so much that his eyes curved up: "Of course, I don't like to force others, I believe in mutual consent."

Zhuang Baihua breathed a sigh of relief. At least he didn't have to worry about the small dark room.

"In fact, Mr. Zhuang, you don't have to be so defensive against me." Tang Feng smiled gently, "Mr. Zhuang is a forgetful person. You may have forgotten that your company and I are about to cooperate."

Zhuang Baihua was stunned, and then he heard Tang Feng say: "Your company's advertising department invited me to star in your product advertisements. Mr. Zhuang, haven't you heard about it?"

Zhuang Baihua called his secretary over to ask, and it turned out to be true.

Because Zhuang Baihua was a time traveler, he was not familiar with the company's previous business, and he was even less familiar with the entertainment industry in this world, so he really didn't know that Tang Feng was going to advertise for their company.

This setting existed before he traveled through time, which means it was required by the plot.

Zhuang Baihua responded to Tang Feng vaguely: "I don't manage everything in the company."

Tang Feng nodded: "I understand, these are just trivial matters." He smiled, "That's why I want to invite Chi Yue. He happens to be an intern at your company. He has a good appearance and can act in commercials with me. He is very suitable to represent your company."

It turned out that he was waiting here in circles. Zhuang Baihua sighed in his heart. It seemed that it was really difficult to stop Tang Feng.

Zhuang Baihua could only say, "Everything is subject to Chi Yue's wishes. I will ask him in detail. Please don't come to the company to disturb him and my employees, Mr. Tang. You are a public figure, and frequent appearances at the company gate are not good for your own image."

Tang Feng nodded generously: "Okay, I've shown Chi Yue's basic information to the advertising director, and he's very satisfied. I'll have the team contact you and formally invite Chi Yue to work with us."

What he said was as if it was a done deal. As long as Chi Yue agreed, the commercial would start shooting immediately.

Zhuang Baihua carefully looked Tang Feng up and down again.

Now he is 100% sure that Tang Feng is the second paranoid boss.

He is well-spoken, at ease, highly purposeful, yet graceful, which perfectly fits the image of a big boss.

Having said this, there was nothing more to talk about. Zhuang Baihua stood up, saying he was busy with work, and Tang Feng also said he wanted to go back.

The two of them walked out of the cafe together. The secretary led the way in front. As soon as they opened the door of the cafe, they were startled.

The door was full of people, all standing on tiptoe and looking inside eagerly.

Zhuang Baihua was stunned. What was this doing

When the company employees heard that the movie star Tang Feng was coming, they all ran over to see him. When they saw Tang Feng appear, they immediately burst into screams: "It's really Tang Feng!"

"Ah! Tang Feng, can you please give me an autograph?"

Zhuang Baihua: “…”

Zhuang Baihua even raised his eyes and saw Chi Yue.

Chi Yue stood at the back of the crowd, looking at Zhuang Baihua and Tang Feng walking out side by side, with an expressionless face.

After he made eye contact with Zhuang Baihua, he turned around and walked away.

Zhuang Baihua was worried that Tang Feng would cause trouble, so he didn't chase after him to ask questions.

Finally, a line formed in front of the entrance of the cafe, and Tang Feng signed autographs for everyone with a smile.

The actor instantly gained a wave of favorability and attracted all the employees who originally stood on Zhuang Baihua's side.

Zhuang Baihua was not interested in these things, nor did he want to dampen the enthusiasm of his employees. He asked his secretary to stay and maintain order, and then went upstairs back to his office.

The news that Tang Feng appeared in Zhuang Baihua's company quickly spread online. Many employees at the scene posted autographed photos online, saying that Tang Feng was super handsome in person, very approachable and had no airs at all, and was a very nice person.

Some people started to ask: "Why did Tang Feng appear in Zhuang's company?"

At this time, Tang Feng Studio released a promotional poster on the Internet, on which the logos of Tang Feng and Zhuang's company were photoshopped together.

Now everyone on the Internet knows that Tang Feng and Zhuang are collaborating, and they took the opportunity to stir up some popularity.

This is what happened on the Internet, and there are several other versions of the story circulating within the company.

Tang Feng is the masked man who came to see Chi Yue and gave her flowers and gifts. This is so shocking that no one dares to tell others, and no one would believe it even if they did.

Originally everyone thought that Zhuang Baihua and Tang Feng were in a competitive relationship, but the conversation in the coffee shop that day seemed very peaceful. Coupled with online rumors, the employees in the company began to doubt the direction of the triangle relationship.

Some people said that after seeing that the masked man was the movie star, Mr. Zhuang immediately changed his attitude and switched his target from Chi Yue to Tang Feng. Others said that both the CEO and the movie star liked Chi Yue, but after they met, they not only did not quarrel, but they hit it off. Some people even said that after the CEO and Tang Feng negotiated in the coffee shop, they decided to share Chi Yue and started a threesome.

Anyway, everyone had their own version of the story, and the news became the most popular topic of conversation after dinner at the company, and even reached the president's office.

Of course, no one dared to mention the rumors in front of the president. Chen Wang felt complicated as he listened to the rumors.

… No matter what, Mr. Zhuang is always the top one in any version of the story, and he is the main attacker.

It's comforting.

Zhuang Baihua knew nothing about all this. He was not the kind of person who cared about gossip. He just made some arrangements to find out about Tang Feng's commercial shoot.

Sure enough, the agreement was signed before he traveled through time, which shows that the supporting characters in this book are not completely without intersection.

Just as Tang Feng said, not long after, people from the advertising team came to visit and proposed a plan to let company employee Chi Yue participate in the filming.

Zhuang Baihua called the General Affairs Department through the internal line and asked Chi Yue to come up to ask for his opinion.

The last time Chi Yue came to the president's office, he was held hostage by Secretary Chen. This time he came up alone, and he was very familiar with the place as if he had been there countless times.

Zhuang Baihua still called him into the lounge, and as soon as Chi Yue entered, he stared at the words on the wall.

"I haven't decided what to renovate it into, so I've left it there." Zhuang Baihua explained casually, not paying attention, and began to ask about the advertisement. "Tang Feng has come to you, and he should have told you his intentions. Are you willing to shoot an advertisement with him?"

Zhuang Baihua deliberately emphasized the fact of "with Tang Feng".

Chi Yue smiled lightly and asked, "What is Mr. Zhuang's identity in asking for my opinion?"

Zhuang Baihua thought for a moment and said, "Elder?"

Chi Yue: “…”

Chi Yue put away her smile, her face visibly turned cold, and said, "Then I want to shoot a commercial."

As if she was angry with him, Zhuang Baihua said disapprovingly: "You should think about it carefully. You should understand what Tang Feng thinks of you."

Zhuang Baihua patiently reasoned with Chi Yue: "Think carefully about whether you really like the entertainment industry. If you are interested, you can give it a try, but being with Tang Feng is not a good opportunity because he has bad intentions towards you."

Hearing the word "plotting something ill", Chi Yue stared at Zhuang Baihua with inquiry in her eyes.

Zhuang Baihua didn't understand what he was observing. He looked down at his clothes and didn't see anything wrong.

"How do you know that they have bad intentions?" Chi Yue continued to ask.

The whole company knew about Zhuang Baihua's meeting with Tang Feng. Originally people thought they would fight, and Chi Yue was ready to find an opportunity to break into the coffee shop and have a fight. But the two of them talked very peacefully, making people think they were really discussing business. As a result, Zhuang Baihua now made it clear that Tang Feng had bad intentions towards him.

Chi Yue narrowed her eyes, unable to figure out Zhuang Baihua's attitude.

However, Zhuang Baihua thought that in Chi Yue's eyes, Tang Feng was a good person.

Come to think of it, it is true. Tang Feng is gentle and gentlemanly. As an actor, he comes to my house in person, which shows his sincerity.

Zhuang Baihua was thinking about another possibility. Tang Feng looked very normal. Maybe he was not a paranoid as implied in the novel. Maybe he was wrong.

Zhuang Baihua said to Chi Yue conservatively: "Tang Feng seems to be a very good person. I don't want to interfere with your relationship with others. I just advise you to be cautious."

After hearing what he said, Chi Yue raised the corners of her lips and said sarcastically, "Mr. Zhuang is so generous."

Zhuang Baihua: “…”

This kid is unhappy if he is not allowed to contact Tang Feng. How can he be unhappy if he is allowed to contact Tang Feng
