Internet moguls are being held hostage by the entertainment system!

Chapter 54 Meng Ziyi's Work Group Chat
December 20th, Chang'an Cemetery, Shanghai.

Dressed in a black casual outfit, Chen Xiu stood solemnly beside her parents, her eyes fixed on the photo above the inscription on the tombstone.

The elderly man in the photo has a kind smile, a full head of white hair, and his features bear a slight resemblance to Chen Xiu...

"Xiao Xiu, let's go back!"

Hearing her father's words, Chen Xiu nodded silently, turned around and followed them out of the cemetery.

Upon arriving at the parking lot, Chen Mingjie went to get his car, leaving the space to his wife and children.

Looking at Chen Xiu in her black hunting jacket and hoodie, Zhao Lumian smiled and said, "I heard that the company you started is going to merge with another one, and you're planning to withdraw from it too?"

"Mom, you must have heard it from Uncle Su, right?"

"Yeah, you recruited the Su siblings to work for you, and Old Su comes to me every few days to complain that he has a son and a daughter but they're not around..."

"Su Xiao and Su Yu will be back soon. When they are back, Uncle Su will probably complain that they have been staying at home for too long."

Chen Xiu shrugged, unaware of the deeper meaning in her mother's eyes.

Zhao Lu glanced at her son, who hadn't grasped her hint. Usually so busy at the hospital that she barely had any free time, she didn't waste any time chatting with Chen Xiu alone and directly laid out her hint.

"Xiao Xiu, haven't you thought about your situation with Xiao Xiao?"

"What could possibly happen between us?"

Chen Xiu, finally realizing what was happening, looked at her mother with wide surprise.

He never expected Zhao Lu to say something like that. Hadn't Su Xiao and he always been siblings with friendly relations between their families?
Chen Xiu's slow reaction made Zhao Lu roll her eyes.

"In 12, Xiaoxiao had just graduated from Shanghai Jiao Tong University and was preparing to study abroad. But because of your invitation, she gave up her master's application! Then, in 13, Xiaoxiao even brought Xiaoyu to help out at your company. Why do you think that was?"

"Wasn't it because Sister Xiaoxiao thought the company had good prospects that she invited Xiaoyu to join? At the time, I also asked Xiaoyu to help out, since it's a good match for her major."

Chen Xiu gave his answer, and he had also asked Su Xiao about studying abroad.

But the other party replied that it would be fine to study abroad after I finished my work, which makes perfect sense!
"You mean that Su Xiao, a top student who graduated from a prestigious university, turned down offers from major investment banks and went to your company with an uncertain future to support you, and even brought her younger brother to work for you, all because she saw two years in advance that your company would do very well, is that right?"

Zhao Lu's series of yin-yang chants completely baffled Chen Xiu.

He had the ability to foresee bugs, was certain that Didi would become amazing, and then acted with absolute confidence; no one else would have had that kind of mindset...

In fact, before receiving Series B funding from Tencent, Didi was not much different from other companies on the verge of bankruptcy.

After carefully recalling her past with Su Xiao, Chen Xiu said uncertainly, "Are you sure you're not mistaken? I have a girlfriend!"

"You have a girlfriend? Who is she?"

"Hmm, a junior from Beijing Film Academy, would you like to see a photo?"

Seeing her mother's glaring expression, Chen Xiu took out her phone, intending to look for photos with Meng Ziyi, but first saw the message sent to her by the silly beauty.

"Brother Xiu, don't be too sad when you visit Grandma today~"

"If you're feeling down, remember to call me."

"I was just added to a WeChat group by my company. It's full of actors I'll be working with in the new drama!"

"I've discovered something interesting... but I won't tell you."

The four pieces of information left Chen Xiu with only a vague understanding.

The first three points are quite easy to understand, but the fourth point seems to be about something else entirely.

Looking up at her mother who was waiting for the results, Chen Xiu temporarily put aside her doubts, found a photo of herself and Meng Ziyi, and showed it to Zhao Lu to show that her girlfriend was not a fabricated excuse.

Zhao Lu stared at the group photo, looking at it from left to right, and finally gave this evaluation.

"This girl seems rather innocent!"

Chen Xiu didn't refute her mother's assessment, but added, "She is a bit simple-minded, but she is sincere and kind-hearted. Mom, I'm going to go over and return a call!" "Oh, go ahead."

Zhao Lu nodded somewhat listlessly, clearly regretting that Su Xiao and her son were not meant to be...

Chen Xiu gave her mother a strange look, still thinking that she was overthinking things and that Su Xiao probably didn't have those feelings for her.

Walking to a corner, Chen Xiu dialed Meng Ziyi's number and got through smoothly.

"Hey, Xiu-ge, where are you right now?"

"Still at the cemetery, what about you?"

"Staying at home, studying the script, and then thinking of you..."

"Ah, I miss you too. What was that interesting thing you mentioned earlier?"

During casual conversations and phone calls, Meng Ziyi often shares interesting little things that happen in her daily life with Chen Xiu.

Chen Xiu thought this time would be the same, but the silly beauty on the other end of the phone suddenly became vague after hearing the question.

"It's nothing. I just thought of a joke, but I've forgotten it now. Haha, it's nothing serious."

"You seem a little strange."

Chen Xiu said suspiciously, "The silly beauty's unnatural behavior is really eye-catching and impossible to ignore."

"No! Oh, well, I'm going to Xiangshan next month to film my first movie. When are you coming to visit me on set?"

Although it was a typical attempt to change the subject, Chen Xiu could still hear the expectation and reliance in Meng Ziyi's tone.

"I'm going to South Korea to film a movie next week and will be back in mid-January. I'll let you know in advance what time it is."

"Okay, I'll wait for you."

"Okay, my dad brought the car out. That's all for now."

After hanging up the phone, Chen Xiu still had doubts about Meng Ziyi's strange behavior, but she didn't think it was a big deal because the silly beauty on the phone was in a pretty good mood.

Seeing the car pull up at the door, Chen Xiu put the matter out of her mind and didn't think about it anymore.

At the same time, Meng Ziyi, who was studying the script at Jinxiu Jiayuan, was chuckling to himself while holding his phone.

"Beep beep!" *N
The continuous WeChat notification sounds were particularly noticeable in the living room.

Meng Ziyi stopped laughing and hurriedly checked the message sent by the producer in the WeChat work group.

Producer Dong Meng: "Filming for 'God of War Zhao Zilong' is confirmed to begin on January 3rd. The following actors are requested to arrive at Xiangshan Film and Television City before the 2nd to begin script readings: Lin Genxin (Zhao Zilong), Jia Qing (Gongsun Baoyue)... Nezha (Diao Chan)... Meng Ziyi (Shi Yan)..."

Producer Dong Meng: "Please reply to this message."

Lin Genxin (Zhao Zilong): "OK!"

Jia Qing (Gongsun Baoyue): "Understood."

……

Nezha (Diao Chan): "Received!"

Upon seeing the reply he wanted, Meng Ziyi quickly replied in the group: Received!

After sending the message, Meng Ziyi then opened Nazha's WeChat profile.

When I talked to Chen Xiu about her ex and inquired about Nazha's situation, she knew it would be useful eventually. I didn't expect her premonition to come true so quickly...

Looking at the information on her phone screen, and thinking about Chen Xiu coming back to visit her on set next month, Sister Meng's lips curled into a smug and expectant smile.
