Chapter 766: Chapter 382: Using 2 Piles of Shit to Design 2 Streaming Platforms! (Part 2)

While this show didn’t have the same high viewership ratings as "Go Go Squid!" or the massive online view count of "The Untamed"...

...when "Jiuzhongzi" aired, it was the ratings champion in the primetime slot and also topped the online streaming charts for the same period.

It wasn’t quite a blockbuster-level drama, but it was invincible among its contemporaries.

Besides, the card had attributes that could increase Meng Ziyi’s Acting by +1 and Charm by +1. Perhaps he could leverage these attributes to push the show’s success to a whole new level, and maybe even help Meng Ziyi win an award.

Crucially, the show also had several outstanding major female roles that he could give to Zhang Ao’ai and Li Muchen.

It wasn’t that he was unwilling to use this new card on them; it was just that in his past life, they hadn’t starred in any major hits. Giving it to them would be a waste.

Soon, the group arrived at the film set.

Chen Jincheng also saw Xiao Zhan, the one he had complained about in his past life.

He held no ill will toward this Xiao Zhan; the man’s looks were indeed suited for the screen. He was even a similar type of idol to Li Yifeng.

But one thing was for sure: men online really disliked Xiao Zhan, whereas they didn’t feel the same way about Li Yifeng.

The main reason came down to his fans. His fanbase was just too irrational, flaming anyone and everyone they came across. It didn’t matter if they were right or wrong; they’d attack all the same.

It had even landed the celebrity in huge trouble before. That one incident would have truly ended his career if his company hadn’t poured in capital to save him at all costs.

But according to the rumors, he had to give certain things up to secure that protection.

The rest of the process, arranged by Zheng Weiweng, was no different from Yuan Shu’s. In any case, they just went through it all again.

After the reception was over, Chen Jincheng’s group headed to the hotel where they were staying, having lost interest in lingering on set.

As usual, Sun Ji went to the front desk to get the key cards and distribute them to everyone.

"Xiaomeng, your key card," Sun Ji said with a smile, handing it to her.

Meng Ziyi took the key card and subconsciously glanced at Chen Jincheng. ’If I’m not mistaken,’ she thought, ’he definitely arranged for my room to be next to the boss’s.’

Sun Ji’s "reminder" came right on cue. "Xiaomeng, the boss put in a lot of effort to get the script for ’The Untamed’ changed. Plus, he has the final say on the plot. You should go find him tonight to ask about the script. Have him go over it with you."

How could Meng Ziyi not understand President Sun’s hint?

Everyone knew what "going over the script" really meant.

He was reminding her to be sensible.

’This President Sun is just like one of the emperor’s eunuchs, specialized in arranging these sorts of affairs for him,’ she thought.

The group entered the elevator, and Meng Ziyi’s heart began to race. Sure enough, President Sun and the others got out first, leaving her and the boss still in the elevator. They went up another two floors before it stopped.

In the end, her room was, just as she’d expected, right next to his.

She stood outside her door and glanced at him. "I’m going to go wash up first, then I’ll grab the script and come find you to go over it."

Chen Jincheng just smiled without answering. After entering his room, he went straight to the bathroom for a long, refreshing shower to wash away his fatigue.

If they were going to "go over the script," he had to be in peak condition.

As it turned out, Sister Xiao Hua was quite fast.

He hadn’t been out of the shower for long, a towel wrapped around his waist, when a knock sounded at the door.

He opened the door to find Sister Xiao Hua standing there, script in hand.

She had changed into a sexy blue dress with thin spaghetti straps and a short hemline—a look that was designed to be both sultry and... convenient.

"Looks like you put a lot of thought into this," Chen Jincheng said, his eyes fixed on the view before him. The neckline of her dress, held up by those thin straps, really couldn’t hide everything.

Even with the script in her hands, Meng Ziyi was still a little nervous, especially seeing him wearing nothing but a towel.

The situation with said towel was quickly becoming... noticeable.

Chen Jincheng closed the door and immediately swept Sister Xiao Hua up in his arms from behind.

He wasn’t sure why he was feeling so fired up today.

Sister Xiao Hua hastily pushed against his chest. "Boss, can I ask you a question?"

"What is it?" Chen Jincheng asked.

"You’re such a player, and so promiscuous... are you sure you can even perform?" Sister Xiao Hua whispered provocatively in his ear.

"You’re going to have a very rough night. I promise you that," Chen Jincheng said, his fighting spirit ignited by her challenge.

...

A full two hours later, under the force of Chen Jincheng’s all-out assault, Meng Ziyi truly felt like she was going to die.

It was the kind of feeling where she couldn’t catch her breath, like she was about to pass on.

Looking at the boss casually smoking beside her, she weakly slapped him a couple of times to show her displeasure.

She had seriously thought she was about to be done in. "Boss, can’t you show a little tenderness?"

Chen Jincheng snorted. "You’re the first person to try and provoke my fighting spirit like that. I’ve gotta say, you’re a brave one."

Hearing this, Meng Ziyi felt even more aggrieved.

She had only been trying to spice things up a little. Who knew she’d nearly get herself killed in the process?

If the women online who considered him one of their top ideal types ever found out about this, they’d probably drop the "one of".

She went quiet, resting for a moment before suddenly asking, "Boss, are you going to be producing the TV adaptation of ’Jiuzhongzi’ next?"

"Mm," Chen Jincheng replied, watching her with a faint, knowing smile. ’To ask something like that so suddenly... she definitely has a motive.’ And that motive was self-evident.

Just as he expected, Meng Ziyi asked, "Boss, do you think I’d be suitable for the female lead?"

She had actually read some of the novel, and though she hadn’t gotten far, she loved the plot. She was sure it would be brilliant as a TV series.

"You want the lead role, huh? That depends on your performance," Chen Jincheng said playfully.

’The card was tailor-made for her, and the role was always meant to be hers anyway,’ he thought. ’Since she doesn’t know that, I might as well make her feel a little grateful.’
