Reborn in 2014: A One-Man Tycoon

Chapter 232 Something's Not Right

Meng Chuan did not want to have too much contact with Huo Wanxi.

But in order to help Meng Jixiang, he had to consider using her influence.

Only those who have truly experienced the hardships of life understand how helpless people in difficult situations can be.

Only those who have truly experienced hardship understand how much helpless people yearn for success.

Huo Wanxi is a top internet celebrity with 20 million followers.

For Meng Jixiang, her support was undoubtedly the fastest path to success.

Huo Wanxi is now a coveted collaborator for many celebrities.

Meng Chuan even heard that some celebrities were willing to spend a sky-high price of three million just to have a live broadcast with her once.

Even so, the Meng Po Guild still rigorously vets these celebrities.

I refuse anyone with a stain on their record, no matter the price.

If Huo Wanxi could connect with Meng Jixiang via live stream every now and then, Meng Jixiang's path would be much smoother.

With Meng Chuan's permission, Huo Wanxi soon arrived alone.

"Hello, everyone."

Huo Wanxi arrived at Meng Chuan's door and immediately took off her mask.

This is her way of showing respect for Meng Chuan.

Meanwhile, Meng Jianguo and Zhang Mei had already prepared a large table of dishes.

They were both surprised and delighted to see Huo Wanxi arrive.

Although they were not very clear about Huo Wanxi's specific identity, they knew that she was a big star who was treated with respect even by county leaders.

"I'm sorry to have bothered you, the house is a bit messy."

Zhang Mei brought out the last dish from the kitchen and said to Huo Wanxi somewhat apologetically.

A house is under construction, and the entrance is indeed quite messy.

"It's alright, Auntie. As I said before, I also come from a rural background. That's just how it is in the countryside!"

Huo Wanxi smiled and took the plate of food from Zhang Mei's hands.

"How can this be? You're a big star..."

Zhang Mei was a little worried that she would get Huo Wanxi's hands dirty.

"Auntie, please don't be so polite. Meng Chuan and I are friends and classmates. I'm not that precious."

Huo Wanxi smiled sweetly, her tone sincere.

"Oh? You and Xiaochuan are classmates? Why didn't he ever tell me?"

Zhang Mei gave Meng Chuan a reproachful look.

"Mom, I have so many classmates, I can't possibly report to you in advance for each of them, can I?"

Meng Chuan smiled bitterly.

In my heart, I was thinking that my mom really didn't realize how serious the situation was.

This girl is no good.

She has publicly declared more than once in her live streams that he is her ideal type.

It's obvious they have ulterior motives towards him.

This incident became known throughout the entire internet, even Liu Qian knew about it.

This is much more serious than what happened with Alice.

After all, Alice's affairs were done in secret, while hers were done openly and honestly.

"Alright, since we're classmates, let's sit down and have something to eat together."

Meng Jianguo came out carrying a pot of soup and warmly invited Huo Wanxi to take a seat.

He felt even more proud.

My son has become very successful; he even knows big celebrities and can invite them to our home for dinner.

Who else in the village has such prestige?

"Thank you, Uncle. I'm a little hungry, so I won't be polite!"

Huo Wanxi said happily, but she still looked at Meng Chuan for his opinion.

"Let's sit together."

Now that he's already here, how could Meng Chuan refuse?

Only after Meng Chuan spoke did Huo Wanxi reveal a sweet smile and skip to sit down next to him.

Meng Chuan probably didn't pay much attention to this subtle movement.

But Zhang Mei and Meng Jianguo, the elderly couple, keenly sensed it.

Something seems off!

Even Meng Jixiang, who had no experience in dating, noticed something was amiss.

Because the way Huo Wanxi looked at Meng Chuan was practically drooling.

"Would you like a drink?"

Meng Chuan, in a typical straight-man manner, picked up a bottle of Niulanshan liquor and asked Huo Wanxi.

Huo Wanxi immediately shook her head awkwardly:

"I...I don't drink alcohol."

Seeing this, Meng Jianguo couldn't help but let out a soft shout:

"You rascal, who makes girls drink alcohol? Especially this kind of alcohol."

He felt that his son had been a bit rude; who invites a celebrity to drink Niulanshan liquor?

He liked this wine, but it was somewhat low-class.

"Uncle, it's alright. This wine is quite good, and my dad always loves to drink it. If he were here, you would definitely have a lot in common."

Huo Wanxi hurriedly defended Meng Chuan.

"Really? Hehe, come on, let's eat first and try your aunt's cooking."

Meng Jianguo smiled and invited everyone to start eating.

The atmosphere at the dinner table gradually warmed up.

Huo Wanxi was very easygoing and had no airs of a celebrity. She even took the initiative to help serve food and add rice to her plate.

Zhang Mei and Meng Jianguo's impression of her improved more and more, and they secretly thought that this girl was really nice.

But in his heart he was also wondering: What should I do?

Meng Chuan didn't think that much about it.

Having finished eating, Meng Chuan put down his chopsticks and said directly to Huo Wanxi:

“This is my childhood friend, Meng Jixiang. As you can see, he plays the guitar very well and is planning to start live streaming soon, but he doesn’t have much experience. You’ll be in charge of mentoring him from now on.”

Meng Chuan's tone was very direct.

The tone was that of giving a task, not asking for help.

"No, no, you'd be so kind as to give me some pointers if you have the time."

Meng Jixiang hurriedly said, his tone respectful.

Having been in society for so many years, he knows that you have to be respectful when asking for help.

Meng Jianguo also felt that his son had spoken too bluntly, and quickly tried to smooth things over:

"Meng Chuan, I understand your desire to help Ji Xiang, but Wan Xi is so busy, how could she possibly have the time?"

As he spoke, he smiled at Huo Wanxi and said:

"But Wanxi, Jixiang is a really good kid, an honest person. If you have time, please help him out."

Meng Jianguo, after all, had decades of life experience and spoke much more tactfully than Meng Chuan.

"Uncle, don't worry, Meng Chuan asked me to take care of him, and I will definitely take good care of him."

Huo Wanxi quickly stood up to express her stance.

This is a golden opportunity to get closer to Meng Chuan and leave a good impression on Meng Chuan's parents!

Moreover, Meng Chuan's decision to have her take care of Meng Jixiang shows that he thinks highly of her.

Meng Chuan is not only her boss Zheng Muchen's cousin, but also the soul of the Meng Po Guild.

Every hit song from Meng Po Guild is the work of Meng Chuan.

It can be said that without Meng Chuan, there would be no Meng Po Guild today.

If Meng Chuan wanted to blacklist her, he only needed to say one word, and Zheng Muchen would never dare to disobey.

Now that Meng Chuan wants to promote Meng Jixiang, does she dare to refuse? Can she refuse?

So many streamers in the guild are hoping for this opportunity!

Who knows, if Meng Chuan is in a good mood, he might write another song for them; that would be a blessing in disguise.

"Thank you, and thank you Meng Chuan as well. I... I'll have a drink to toast you both."

Meng Jixiang hurriedly poured himself a cup.

"Alright, any more and you'll get drunk."

Meng Chuan pulled Meng Jixiang aside and asked him to sit down.

"Brother Jixiang, how about this? I'll report to the guild later. I'll stay here for the next two days. You can start the live stream first, and I'll take a break from streaming for the next two days."

Huo Wanxi said something truly shocking:

"But I'll be with you the whole time during your live stream. I'll go back to school in a couple of days, and then we'll connect online every day at set times. I think that will be even more effective."

After speaking, Huo Wanxi looked at Meng Chuan and asked:

"Meng Chuan, do you think this arrangement is alright?"
