Chapter 145: Too Late to Regret, Introduction to Resources
Chu Xiyan was extremely shocked. She knew that there was a huge contrast between Jiang Mian's appearance and his true personality.
But she never expected that the other party was much stronger than girls of the same age, and even stronger than most boys.
As the eldest daughter of the Chu family, she has always been the center of attention.
This is the first time I have been threatened and warned like this!!
Chu Xiyan was very angry, but the difference in power between the two sides was so great that she was helpless at this moment! !
Chu Xiyan's face turned red as her neck was pinched. Her breathing gradually became difficult and her consciousness slowly faded.
Jiang Mian was still as innocent and well-behaved as ever. When Chu Xiyan's consciousness became blurred and she was about to faint, her eyes were full of amusement. She loosened her hands and threw Chu Xiyan to the ground.
Chu Xiyan sat on the ground, with purple marks on her neck.
Because her throat was pinched, she coughed violently and it took her a long time to recover.
Jiang Mian turned away indifferently, and Jiang Shiyan hurriedly followed.
When Chu Xiyan recovered, Jiang Mian's figure had disappeared from her sight.
She was very unwilling. What right did Jiang Mian have to threaten her?
He actually warned himself that if he wanted to survive, he had to stay away from Cheng Ye.
Chu Xiyan pursed her lips. She did not accept Jiang Mian's threat.
She believed that as long as Cheng Ye recognized Jiang Mian's true face, he would take the initiative to break up with Jiang Mian.
After all, deception itself is an unforgivable act.
"Xi Yan, why are you here? Are you here to look for Xiao Ye too?" She asked in surprise when her elder sister Cheng Wei came over with two bags of fruits and snacks.
Chu Xiyan suddenly felt a little embarrassed. At this moment, she was sitting on the ground with messy hair and cold sweat on her forehead. The uncomfortable feeling of her neck being strangled had not completely dissipated.
Chu Xiyan quickly straightened her skirt and stood up from the ground. She sighed, "Yes, I'll come to find him."
Cheng Wei was stunned. "Xiyan, you used to dislike Xiaoye the most. Although I know that it was because Fenghao confused right and wrong, I am still surprised to see that your attitude towards Xiaoye has changed so much."
Chu Xiyan was in a heavy mood. She smiled bitterly and said, "We have done too many bad things to him. I tried my best to protect Cheng Fenghao and always thought I was upholding justice, but I didn't expect that I was harming Cheng Ye."
Cheng Wei's heart was grabbed hard, the pain was beyond description, her breathing stopped, "You are better than me, at least you don't know Feng Hao's true face, but I..."
At this point, Cheng Wei couldn't help but shed two lines of tears, "Many times, I knew Feng Hao was framing Xiao Ye."
"But I just watched from the sidelines and thought Feng Hao was still young and was just joking with Xiao Ye. It was no big deal."
Hearing this, Chu Xiyan's body trembled uncontrollably, "You knew this a long time ago?! Or did you choose to shield and condone Cheng Fenghao?! Do you know that your actions are tantamount to destroying Cheng Ye!!"
Cheng Wei's eyelashes trembled and she almost dropped the fruits and snacks in her hands on the ground.
She regretted it and explained the reason with tears in her eyes, "Xiyan, I really didn't think that much. Xiaoye has not been with us since he was a child. It has always been Fenghao who has been with us."
"We didn't spend much time together and didn't know each other. Plus, he grew up in an orphanage and had a lot of bad habits. I subconsciously had a prejudice against him and wanted to stay away from him."
Chu Xiyan was in a heavy mood. Not only towards Cheng Wei, she also had a lot of prejudices against Cheng Ye at that time.
The air was quiet for a while, Chu Xiyan's eyes were complicated, she asked: "How do you want to compensate him?"
The eldest sister Cheng Wei's eyes showed some confusion, "I want to be good to Xiaoye. I came here today to give him some fruit snacks."
After Cheng Wei finished saying this, she suddenly realized something, "Xiyan, your attitude has changed so much, have you fallen in love with my brother?"
Chu Xiyan's cheeks immediately turned red because of Cheng Wei's question. She answered softly and seriously, "Yes, I want to marry him."
Cheng Wei couldn't help laughing, "My brother is like the shining sun. Many girls are deeply attracted by his personality charm."
Chu Xiyan looked dazed. Yes, Cheng Ye had so many fans on the Internet, and there were countless female fans who liked and admired him.
I still remember that Cheng Ye became an Internet celebrity at first because he won first place in the final of a global mathematics competition.
Netizens' initial impression of Cheng Ye is that he has an extremely high talent for mathematics.
While his peers were still struggling to learn high school knowledge, Cheng Ye had already taught himself to reach the top level of the doctoral entrance examination in mathematics.
Not only is Cheng Ye gifted in mathematics, his academic performance in other subjects has also reached a level that most people can't even dream of.
Be it studying or sports, even in external conditions such as appearance and height, Cheng Ye is extremely outstanding.
He even started a company to enter the entertainment industry.
Its development is also booming.
Chu Xiyan has always been picky, but she couldn't find any flaws in Cheng Ye.
Such a perfect boy appeared in her life, but she didn't notice him in time, and Jiang Mian got there first. How could she not regret it? !
Obviously, she was the one who had the advantage in the marriage from the very beginning.
Chu Xiyan was feeling depressed. If she had treated Cheng Ye well since the day Cheng Ye was brought back to the Cheng family, then the person who would become Cheng Ye’s girlfriend would definitely not be Jiang Mian, who came later, but herself.
"Xiyan, you also know about Fenghao. He made an unforgivable mistake. So our Cheng family may still hope that Xiaoye will be the heir of the Cheng family in the future."
"As long as you marry Xiaoye, the position of heir will naturally fall to Xiaoye."
Cheng Wei was in a low mood. "There are too many negative stories about Feng Hao. Netizens have scolded him. Compared with Xiao Ye's good reputation, it is obvious that Feng Hao cannot drive the development of the Cheng family."
"Xiao Ye has suffered for three full years in our Cheng family. I wonder if he would be less resentful towards us if we facilitated your marriage with him and made him the heir of the Cheng family."
"At the very least, don't treat me as an enemy, and I'll be satisfied."
Cheng Wei felt extremely regretful. If she wasn't so biased, would Xiaoye's alienation from her not be so deep? Would Xiaoye forgive her?
Listening to Cheng Wei's words, Chu Xiyan pulled a self-deprecating smile.
Marriage?
She had just discussed this topic with Cheng Ye face to face.
Cheng Ye's words were so concise and straightforward that even though she listed several benefits that a marriage between the Cheng and Chu families would bring, Cheng Ye remained indifferent.
It was obvious that she had a natural advantage. If she had been a little nicer to Cheng Ye, how could she have been snatched away by Jiang Mian? !
If Jiang Mian hadn't been there, the person who would have had intimate interactions with Cheng Ye right now would have been her!!
Chu Xiyan felt extremely uncomfortable, and tears of unwillingness welled up in her eyes.
Why couldn't I recognize Cheng Fenghao's true face earlier? !
She was in no mood to tell Cheng Wei that she and Cheng Ye had discussed the topic of marriage.
Because speaking it out would not only be embarrassing, but would also deepen her negative emotions.
Being told bluntly by Cheng Ye that he didn't like her already made her sad and painful. If he said it out loud, she would be even more mentally devastated.
Seeing that she didn't speak for a long time, Cheng Wei thought she was worried that Cheng Ye would not forgive her.
So he began to comfort Chu Xiyan, "Xiaoye is cold on the outside but warm on the inside. He has given so much to our Cheng family in the past, which is enough to prove that he is a person who values feelings. He is not as cold-blooded and ruthless as he looks."
"The reason you stayed away from us is because you were hurt too deeply by us."
"But I believe that as long as we take action towards Xiaoye and let him see our regret, one day in the future, he will definitely accept us again."
"Xiaoye is kind and wonderful at heart. You have to have confidence in yourself, give him sincere love, and show him more care. He will forgive you."
Chu Xiyan's desperate eyes now sparkled with a glimmer of hope.
The hope was slim, but it gave her light.
"You're right, nothing is impossible as long as you put your mind to it."
"Cheng Ye is so outstanding, I don't want to lose him."
Chu Xiyan swore that she would not marry anyone but Cheng Ye, "I will make Cheng Ye fall in love with me."
Cheng Wei covered her mouth and laughed, "Xi Yan, this is your character. You are the daughter of the Chu family. It takes only a little effort for a girl to pursue a boy. Be more proactive and love will come soon."
Chu Xiyan's confidence increased. She lowered her eyes to look at the fruits and snacks in Cheng Wei's hands, "I'll go to the clinic with you. I have to go find him anyway."
She did not mention that she had met Cheng Ye and that Cheng Ye had left the small clinic.
She had to keep the fact that Cheng Ye had rejected the marriage proposal on the spot deep in her heart and not let anyone know.
So Chu Xiyan didn't know about it and went to the small clinic with Cheng Wei to find Cheng Ye.
The two came to the small clinic.
The door of the clinic was closed. It seemed that neither Cheng Ye nor the old man were in the clinic.
If the old man is operating in the clinic, the door must be open.
Cheng Wei sighed, "Xiao Ye should have gone to his company, but facial recognition authentication is required to enter the downstairs of the Central Building."
Chu Xiyan frowned beautifully, "What does it matter? You are the eldest daughter of the Cheng family. The security guard dare not prohibit you from entering, unless he does not want to stay in the capital anymore."
Cheng Wei shook her head helplessly, "Xiyan, if I do this, Cheng Ye will be annoyed."
Chu Xiyan remained silent. The other party was right. If she rashly went in to find Cheng Ye and affected Cheng Ye's work, it would indeed make Cheng Ye feel annoyed.
Cheng Wei was tired. "Forget it, let's just leave it like this for now. I'll go find him when Xiaoye goes to school."
After saying hello, Cheng Wei left dejectedly.
Chu Xiyan felt particularly bad when she heard this.
Cheng Ye has seldom stayed in school recently. Except for necessary major exams, Cheng Ye would never come to school to waste time on small tests.
It can be said that Cheng Ye comes to school very rarely.
This greatly reduced her opportunities to spend time with Cheng Ye.
In short, there are various restrictions.
As long as Chu Xiyan thought about it, Jiang Mian had no such restrictions and could go to find Cheng Ye freely if he wanted to.
Jiang Mian and Cheng Ye live together in the backyard house of the small clinic. They go to and from school together every day. Jiang Mian can kiss and hug Cheng Ye up close. Cheng Ye will never give Jiang Mian a bad look. Instead, he is very doting and gentle to Jiang Mian.
All these things made Chu Xiyan feel very unbalanced.
She firmly believed that Cheng Ye could be coaxed away by Jiang Mian because she did not fight or compete, but just gave in.
It’s not that she is no match for Jiang Mian.
As long as she pursues Cheng Ye persistently, she will definitely win Cheng Ye's favor.
-
Cheng Ye spent the entire morning just shooting three advertising videos.
Even though each commercial video only lasts a few minutes, it actually takes a lot of time to shoot.
At the end of the morning, Cheng Ye returned to the office, and representatives from three advertisers followed him to the office.
They discussed the details of the advertisement together.
In order to avoid competing for each other's traffic, the three advertisers specifically requested Cheng Ye to increase the interval between the simultaneous release of advertising videos on Weibo and Shark platforms.
For example, after the first advertising video is released, the next advertising video will be released after about seven days.
Avoid the latter ad taking away the traffic of the previous ad.
Of course Cheng Ye had no objection. Advertisers naturally had their concerns when considering this.
Thinking that he still had 98 commercials waiting for him to shoot, Cheng Ye felt a bit of a headache.
There is no essential difference between this and a teacher assigning a large amount of homework to students.
Thinking of this, Cheng Ye asked them casually, "What are the specific minimum requirements for selecting spokespersons?"
He will find out about it in advance, and then train the artists according to at least the minimum requirements.
The three representatives looked at each other in bewilderment. They were all high-end luxury brands, one was jewelry, one was luxury cars, and the other was watches.
The luxury car representative thought for a moment and said, "At least she has to be a first-line celebrity. And she can't have any negative scandals."
The watch and jewelry representatives also nodded frequently.
The jewelry representative replied, "A good reputation is the most basic requirement. In terms of fame, first-tier level is of course the best."
The watch representative agreed, "My requirements are similar to theirs. Cheng Ye, even if you haven't entered the entertainment industry, your fame has already reached the first-tier level, and you are surrounded by many halos, such as the academic god, the male god, the bloody rich family background, etc., which means that your commercial value is destined to be very high."
Cheng Ye held his forehead and said, "Okay, I understand."
It is not easy to cultivate first-line artists.
It’s very expensive to get artists to take root in the entertainment industry.
However, these three representatives have relatively high requirements themselves.
The four of them discussed with each other for a while, and then Cheng Ye simultaneously posted the luxury car advertising video on Weibo and Shark platform, and then set it to the top status.
The luxury car representative was delighted. “Thank you for your strong support. To express our gratitude, we can give you a luxury car for free.”
Cheng Ye waved his hand, "No, you can introduce me to more resources in the entertainment industry, which is more valuable than giving me a luxury car."
The luxury car representative immediately understood what Cheng Ye meant. He smiled and said, "Okay."
The watch and jewelry representatives observed the expressions and immediately followed suit.
"If we have resources later, we will consider your needs as soon as possible."
"We are the same. As long as there are suitable resources, we will introduce them to you."
Cheng Ye nodded slightly.
The four ended their conversation.
After they went out, Cheng Ye looked at his watch and it was almost half past 11.
He also had to attend a dinner party hosted by Lu Che, the director of ancient idol fantasy films.
Assistant Chi Mu appeared at the office door with Susie and agent Liu Si.
"Boss, they are all ready."
