The richest person in Chinese entertainment

Chapter 223: Small-minded Zhang Chen
"Brother, you haven't hugged me for a long time."

Liu Yifei buried her little face in Zhang Chen's chest, and the muffled words made the hand that was stroking Liu Yifei's back pause.

"How long?"

"Several years."

As if she couldn't remember how many years had made Liu Yifei feel uncomfortable, she rubbed her face hard on Zhang Chen's clothes.

"It stinks, I don't want to hug you anymore!" After rubbing the clothes, Liu Yifei raised her head and pouted.

Looking at the wet clothes on his chest and the marks that were clearly not from tears, Zhang Chen was about to open his mouth to say something.

But seeing Liu Yifei's red and swollen eyes from crying, the words on the tip of his tongue became:
"So you signed up for The Voice by yourself?"

Zhang Chen reached out and straightened Liu Yifei's bangs which were a little messy due to the previous action.

"Yeah, I want others to see it, I can do it alone!"

At first, Liu Yifei turned her head away to prevent Zhang Chen from touching her, but in the end she cooperated and raised her head to let Zhang Chen fix her hair. She sniffed through her nose, and her aggrieved look was a bit cute.

"Then have you ever thought that I'm the one who organized this show, and if you win, people will think there's something fishy going on?"

This is very obvious. The organizer is Zhang Chen's company and the mentor's appearance fee is paid by Zhang Chen. If someone related to Zhang Chen wins this show, he will be questioned to a greater or lesser extent.

"Then what should I do?" After hearing Zhang Chen's words, Liu Yifei looked up at Zhang Chen with a hoarse voice and tears in her eyes.

She really has no other options.

As an actor, all the resources were provided by Zhang Chen.

As a singer, all the songs are written by Zhang Chen.

Now I am participating in a singing competition, and the program is still organized by Zhang Chen.

She felt that she would never be able to get out of Zhang Chen's "shadow" in her life.

"You can do whatever you want."

"You're so perfunctory."

"This is the truth, do as you wish."

"Then I won't act in The Legend of Sword and Fairy!"

"That won't work!"

With just a few words, Zhang Chen overturned what he had said before.

"why?"

"Because this show is important to you."

Zhang Chen couldn't find a suitable reason to convince Liu Yifei and could only give an ambiguous explanation.

Wang Yuyan, Zhao Linger and Xiaolongnu, these three roles are indispensable to Liu Yifei.

He has already led Liu Yifei astray enough, and he cannot let Liu Yifei go astray again in some key developments.

"I feel like you are looking at me, but it seems like you are looking at someone else. I have had this illusion since I was a child."

Liu Yifei looked at Zhang Chen with some confusion, her tone full of uncertainty, as if it was a question that had been on her mind for a long time.

This sentence also made Zhang Chen tremble all over.

"How could that be? Don't talk nonsense."

After Zhang Chen finished speaking, he loosened his arms around Liu Yifei's waist, turned around and took her hand and walked towards the rest room outside.

He didn't know how to answer this question, nor did he dare to answer it.

As Liu Yifei grew older, she looked more and more like the fairy sister he knew in the past, which made him feel a little unreal.

The two walked to the lounge in silence.

Zhang Chen originally wanted to sit opposite Liu Yifei, but seeing that she looked like she was about to cry, he sat next to her.

"I actually really don't want to play Zhao Linger in The Chinese Paladin." "Why?"

Zhang Chen stroked Liu Yifei's head which was resting on his shoulder and asked softly.

He did not object at the first moment, but wanted to hear what the little girl had in mind.

"Because if I act, you will definitely be forced to act in this drama as well."

Zhang Chen was stunned. He didn't expect this to be the reason.

This was a reason he had never imagined.

"Why are you so sure? The casting hasn't even started yet."

"I have lived with my parents in Ying Country for a while in the past few months, and I have understood some things."

During these few months, Liu Yifei actually overheard a lot of arguments between her parents without Zhang Chen knowing.

What impressed her most was the reason why her father did not allow her mother to be active in front of the stage.

This also made her doubt her decision to become an actor.

Because in the future, if the roles she plays do not have Zhang Chen as her rival, they will naturally lack emotional scenes.

Compared to other actors, her role would fundamentally lose a major attraction.

Not to mention winning an award like "Best Actress".

Unless Zhang Chen can still act in movies with her in the future, unless... she doesn't want to marry Zhang Chen.
"Understand what?"

Zhang Chen could probably guess the reason, but he still wanted to ask.

"I see that you are a petty-minded man, humph!"

Liu Yifei also figured it out. In order not to upset Zhang Chen and to not create obstacles for their future relationship, she still needed to seriously consider this issue.

Even if she can't go far as an actress, she still has the option of being a singer.

At this time, she was somewhat glad that she had learned music from Aunt Sun for a period of time since she was a child.

And this is also the most important reason why she participated in The Voice.

"You should take on the drama "Legend of Sword and Fairy"."

Zhang Chen thought about it and decided to persuade her. He would feel uncomfortable if the role of Zhao Linger was not played by Liu Yifei.

"But you're very busy. Do you have time to act in another TV series with me? You have another drama called The Return of the Condor Heroes coming up. These two dramas combined will take up more than half a year of your time." Liu Yifei actually didn't care much about whether she played Zhao Linger or not. "Now The Voice of China has started again. Don't you need to keep an eye on this show?"

In Liu Yifei's opinion, since Zhang Chen attaches so much importance to this program, he should participate in the recording of the program throughout the whole process, and he will have no time to act in TV series.

"It is because I value this show that I want to act in a TV series."

Zhang Chen said something that left Liu Yifei confused.

What does it mean that you value the program so you want to act in a TV series?
Shouldn't you not act in TV dramas because you care more about the show?

"Forget it, I'll tell you so you don't have to think too much."

Zhang Chen looked at Liu Yifei's frowning brows and thought it would be better to explain the matter clearly. Otherwise, he didn't know if hiding it from the girl would make her think too much.

Afterwards, Zhang Chen spent ten minutes explaining why he did this.

"You..." Liu Yifei looked at him with disgust after listening to Zhang Chen's explanation, "How can you be so mean?"

"Then tell me whether it's irritating or not?"

"Stimulate!"

Liu Yifei jumped up, knelt on the sofa, and shook Zhang Chen's arm vigorously with both hands: "If I win the championship of "The Voice of China", can I also..."

"You?" Zhang Chen looked Liu Yifei up and down. "Champion?"

　I went out with a friend to have dinner and go shopping in the evening, and got home quite late. Sorry!
