Chapter 789: Chapter 390: The World-Famous Scene Dance! This Is Going to Rock the New Year’s Eve Gala

Chen Jincheng’s words were bound to become the biggest flashpoint and source of conflict.

Meanwhile, Huang Zhen was at Penguin Film and Television, preparing for tonight’s premiere of *Taking Dad to Study Abroad*. After its broadcast on the TV station, they also had to release it online sharp at midnight.

Everything had to be ready.

Suddenly, an assistant rushed in to report, "President Huang, a ton of reporters have shown up outside. Chen Jincheng publicly declared at the *All is Well* premiere that his show would be the ’King of Dramas.’ Now all those reporters are here, wanting to know our take on it."

"’King of Dramas?’ He’s truly arrogant." Huang Zhen scoffed. He went out with his assistant and, sure enough, saw the swarm of reporters.

The moment he appeared, the reporters swarmed him, thrusting their cameras and microphones forward with a barrage of questions.

So, he addressed the reporters, "My friends in the press, I won’t say much. I’ll just say one thing: wait and see."

Meanwhile, Lin Dong over at iQiyi was facing the same situation.

Honestly, he hadn’t expected Chen Jincheng to be so full of himself.

So, he didn’t hold back, saying, "A ’King of Dramas’ is crowned every year, but a modern slice-of-life drama has never earned that title. If it were a period slice-of-life drama, that would be another story."

"To be precise, this genre of modern slice-of-life drama simply doesn’t have what it takes to become the ’King of Dramas.’ Chen Jincheng has a half-baked understanding of the market and the foundations of different film and television genres, yet he dares to spout such nonsense here."

This was exactly what the reporters wanted to hear.

And so, within just one hour, a trending news headline—"Second-Life Star: King of Dramas; iQiyi: Utter Nonsense"—shot to the top of the hot topics list.

This made everyone even more eager to find out how the three dramas would fare.

Everyone began to wait for their release dates.

Meanwhile, Chen Jincheng had already finished the banquet arranged by Midday Sunshine and returned to the hotel with Ximeng, Sister Hehe, and Long Ni.

He went straight back to his room.

Ximeng looked left and right, and seeing no one, slipped directly into his room.

"Not going to go wash up first?" Chen Jincheng asked teasingly.

"With you," Ximeng said sweetly, pulling him further inside.

Sister Hehe also returned to her own room. However, she was staying in the presidential suite of this five-star hotel and had Long Ni stay with her.

After taking a shower, she sat down at her vanity and started putting on makeup.

Seeing this, Long Ni asked tentatively, "Boss, are you going out again tonight?"

"Haven’t you already guessed?" Sister Hehe asked teasingly. "Want to come along? He’d certainly be happy to accept a beauty like you. You definitely wouldn’t be shorted a leading role afterward."

"Ah..." Long Ni was instantly at a loss for words.

’Of course, she guessed her boss was going to find Chen Jincheng, but was it really okay for her to ask her own artist to go accompany a man with her?’

’Even though that Chen Jincheng was handsome and a leading role was very tempting, this kind of thing...’

"Think it over carefully!" Hehe smiled and gently pinched Long Ni’s cheek. "I’m a very open-minded boss. If you’re willing, I absolutely won’t let you get the short end of the stick. If you’re not, I won’t force you."

Long Ni stared blankly as her boss walked toward the door. She couldn’t help but feel something was wrong with this.

’A woman, even if she isn’t in a committed relationship with a man, should still be selfish in this regard, right?’

’But her boss... how could she...?’

She couldn’t help but ask, "Boss, why would you..."

Sister Hehe knew what she was going to ask and said bluntly, "I have no choice. He’s too much for me. I need someone to help, or he’ll kill me. So, want to be good sisters with me?"

Hearing this answer, Long Ni’s eyes widened in genuine shock.

She had considered so many possibilities, but she never imagined she would get an answer like this.

’Can a man really kill a woman doing *that*?’

’Isn’t it said that the one who gets exhausted to death is...?’

While she was still in a daze, Sister Hehe had already left.

...

In the room, Chen Jincheng was leaning back comfortably on the sofa, enjoying Ximeng’s services. One of his hands was gently stroking her hair when, at that moment, he suddenly noticed a new quest with a golden exclamation mark appear in the game interface in his mind.

His eyes lit up, and he immediately looked at the quest.

"You are no longer a mere internet celebrity. Therefore, you plan to perform a very special and high-profile act. Rumor has it that an international dance master has come to the city. Go ask him to help you choreograph an interesting dance!"

Chen Jincheng was clearly a bit surprised to see this quest.

’Are the game’s quests this considerate now?’

’He had just promised at the premiere to perform at the Sujiang TV Station’s New Year’s Eve Gala and was wondering what kind of interesting act to prepare. Did one just fall right into his lap?’

While still enjoying Ximeng’s services, he immediately accepted the quest and started working on it.

As expected, a quest that involved finding someone for help turned out to be another chain of fetch quests.

It really took him a lot of time to complete. That international dance master was a real pain in the ass.

A knock sounded at the door.

"Mmph... mmph..." Since she couldn’t speak, Ximeng could only pat him to let him know Sister Hehe had arrived.

Her boss had already told her who her partner for the evening would be.

"Let her wait. Finish what you’re doing, or I’ll die from the discomfort," Chen Jincheng said as he submitted the quest.

The game’s notification sounded again:

[Congratulations on completing the quest! The international dance master Charleston has choreographed a very interesting dance for you. For now, let’s call it the Charleston Dance!]
