Chapter 760: Chapter 379: Director: That’s the Matriarch

Hanging on the wall were several sexy secretary outfits, stockings, and...

There was even a special qipao-style secretary outfit, clearly trying to ride the coattails of the recent Hanfu trend.

Ximeng coquettishly pulled him forward and said, "Boss, these are the new designs from the studio. You should try them first. Then I can add a line: ’Personally tested and strongly recommended by Chen Jincheng!’"

"If you want me to test them, you should try one on first, shouldn’t you?" Chen Jincheng shot the girl a look.

’What does she mean, "Personally tested and strongly recommended by Chen Jincheng?"’

’Couldn’t she just drop those two words?’

’"Strongly recommended by Chen Jincheng" is enough to make people want to buy it, okay?’

Ximeng giggled, took down that bizarre secretary outfit, and began to change right in front of Chen Jincheng, completely at ease.

In a moment, the girl had changed into the sleeveless qipao. Holding a floral fan, she looked at him coquettishly.

Chen Jincheng studied her seriously, stroking his chin. "Are you sure this is a secretary outfit and not for some girl from a brothel?"

Hearing this, Ximeng sat coquettishly on his lap. "Boss, for a secretary like me, isn’t it pretty much the same as a girl from a brothel? We’re both here to make the boss happy. So, Boss, why don’t you test out whether you’re happy or not? There’s just one small button on the back. Open it, and you can pull it straight down to the waist."

Chen Jincheng leaned his head over and saw the small button.

He had to admit, this "green tea" secretary’s skills were top-notch. Even a girl from a brothel wasn’t as seductive as her.

Besides, to many bosses, secretaries were just eye candy anyway.

And wasn’t there talk of "lifestyle secretaries" and "personal assistants"?

So, after personally testing this secretary outfit’s fabric, method of removal, quality, durability against pulling... and other attributes, he felt that this garment would probably sell very well.

For this, he also gave this green tea secretary a proper reward.

Afterward, the green tea secretary revealed the many things she had packed—a variety of special "auxiliary tools."

He could only say that the green tea secretary truly knew the way to his heart.

...

「The next day.」

Chen Jincheng arrived at Second-Life Star bright and early. He had barely sat down when Tian Xiwei came in with a huge smile, hugging him from behind. "Boss, when are we leaving?"

"You’re about to be a star. Watch your behavior!" Chen Jincheng reminded her while sorting through his documents.

"I don’t want to," Tian Xiwei mumbled, then planted a kiss on his cheek. "Thank you, Boss!"

After waiting for so long, she could finally join the film crew. She was very happy.

Most importantly, the boss himself was personally escorting her, which gave her an inexplicable sense of vanity.

She knew vanity was bad, but her boss was Chen Jincheng.

"Go get ready. We’ll have the driver take us over there later," Chen Jincheng instructed with a smile.

This time, he was first taking Sister Tian to ** Film City. They could just drive. Some scenes for *So Adorable We Are* would be filmed in Hengdian, and then they would move to a county nearby to shoot the school scenes.

He was just going with the girl to say hello to the director, let everyone know that he had her back, and then attend the production launch ceremony together.

"Okay, Boss!" Sister Tian immediately left in high spirits.

Chen Jincheng smiled faintly at this. He felt that when Sister Tian had been leaning on the back of his head just now, she seemed to have gotten... bustier. ’Looks like these hands of mine still have some Magic Power. They’re no worse than those high-tech methods, are they?’

’I’ll have to inspect them properly tonight to see if it was just my imagination.’

A moment later, Ximeng rushed in. "Boss, you’re going on a business trip. Can you take me with you?"

Chen Jincheng shook his head. "You have important matters to take care of here. You can’t go."

"Like what!" Ximeng said with a frown.

"You do now," Chen Jincheng said teasingly. "I arranged it for you just a few seconds ago."

"Boss!" Ximeng glared at him, pouting. ’Isn’t he just making it clear he won’t take me?’ She immediately started acting cute. "Please take me. I’ll help you handle Xiaotian. Don’t you like it when we’re all together?"

"Stop fooling around. It’s really not a good time. You’ve already gotten the most. Don’t be greedy." Chen Jincheng pinched the green tea secretary’s pretty face, giving her no chance to object.

’I already brought Ximeng along recently when I was with Li Suwan. It’s time for a change of scenery.’

’Besides, given Sister Tian’s personality, I know she definitely wouldn’t be with Ximeng. At least, there’s no hope of that for a long time. So, I haven’t even thought about it.’

Before long, Chen Jincheng left the company with Tian Xiwei. The company’s Rolls-Royce, used for greeting guests, was already waiting. Sun Ji and a few people from the film and television department were in one car.

He and Tian Xiwei got into the other one. After getting in, he saw that Meng Ziyi was already sitting in the front passenger seat.

After dropping Tian Xiwei off with the crew and resting for a night, they would go directly from Hengdian to Gui City. The investors for *The Untamed* had already started filming there. He was taking Meng Ziyi to join that production and would sign the investment deal at the same time.

Finally, they had to return to Huajin City in Jiangnan, where the producers of *All is Well* were located.

Some might ask why they weren’t going to Huajin City first, since it was closer.

There was no choice. The producers of *All is Well* had scheduled a single meeting time for everyone. Er Shi Xingchen Film and Television, iQiyi, and Penguin Film and Television were all invited. Platforms like Uku, Mango, Bilibili, Baofeng Video, and others were invited as well.

They were clearly determined to sell *All is Well* for a high price. They had the confidence, after all, being the company that had produced *Langya List*, *Disguiser*, and *Mountain and Sea Love*.

In this world, however, this company’s version of *Ode to Joy* was gone.

But aside from Penguin and iQiyi, the other platforms were just there to fill out the numbers.

Especially Bilibili and Baofeng Video.

Baofeng Video, in fact, had only recently pivoted to film and television. Not only were they weak, but they were also on the verge of bankruptcy due to a failed acquisition and the arrest of their boss.

After getting into the car, Tian Xiwei glanced at Meng Ziyi, then nonchalantly wrapped her arms around her boss’s arm.

She was, of course, doing it for Meng Ziyi to see.

’Even though I don’t know her, she must be another artist from the company. In a situation like this, I have to declare my sovereignty.’

She didn’t understand much, but she understood this.

’Besides, I’m well aware that I gave my most perfect self to the boss. He’s a man; he’s bound to have a special complex about that sort of thing. Compared to her, I have the right to declare this kind of sovereignty.’

Meng Ziyi, of course, saw this. She turned her head and pursed her lips.

’Look at her, so skilled!’

’That’s why she gets to play the female lead right after graduation, in a project specifically funded for her.’

’This time, even though President Sun told me we were going to visit *The Untamed* set together, it feels a bit embarrassing for a minor supporting actress like me. I just don’t know why the company is making a special trip. Don’t tell me they’re planning to invest in *The Untamed*?’

At this thought, she inexplicably turned back to glance at Chen Jincheng again.

’What if?’

The two Rolls-Royces soon departed. They arrived at the high-speed rail station, where the group, waiting in masks and baseball caps, boarded the train. It wasn’t long before they reached the city where ** Film City was located.

「Outside the ** High-Speed Rail Station.」

Yuan Shu and his crew were peering into the station.

As a new director—well, he was still considered new. Although his previous drama hadn’t been a flop, it hadn’t made a splash either. That’s just how it was with low-budget productions.

Even though this was also a low-budget drama, he had requested a 30 million investment, and the other party had given him 50 million, telling him to improve the plot and scenery.

A 50 million investment for a slice-of-life youth drama, and one using all newcomers at that, was already a huge amount.

Therefore, he had to take this drama very seriously. If it was well-received, he would finally make a name for himself.

Now that President Chen was coming, he didn’t dare to be neglectful. This was his God of Wealth. Even though the man hadn’t arrived yet, he had brought his people to wait early.

Before long, he received a call, and then he saw a group of people walking over. Though they wore masks and baseball caps, he recognized Chen Jincheng. The girl on his arm had to be the little princess of their crew.

And why wouldn’t she be?

Chen Jincheng had invested solely for her to be the female lead.

He just hoped this little princess had some acting skills and a bit of professionalism. Otherwise, serving her would be exhausting.
