Chapter 186: Captain, the youngest's IQ is about to surpass yours

After Jin Li arrived at the hotel, she specifically called Xi Sister Meng Ze.

It showed as powered off.

She called Ji Qinglian again, and it was also powered off.

Only then did Jin Li think that perhaps both of them were rushing to the airport, or they knew someone would take a pile of questions to ask them, so they deliberately turned off their phones.

After she washed up, she had a video call with Gu Cheng, and after they both finished a set of math papers and checked all the answers.

Xi Sister Meng Ze's call finally arrived late.

"Hi! Have you arrived in Magic City? Are you having fun?"

Xi Sister Meng Ze's voice sounded very crisp, without any feeling of regret for being eliminated.

Jin Li raised her eyebrows: "I'm not in Magic City to play. But you, looking at the Ferris wheel background behind you, have you already set off to play with Lianhua?"

Xi Sister Meng Ze said very regretfully: "No, after Lianhua and I arrived in the Imperial Capital, she was picked up by her agent."

"They said that while *I Am a Singer* still has some heat, they took on a pile of announcements for her. She's busy running announcements, so I can only come out to play by myself."

Tsk, no sadness at being eliminated.

Even sadder that no one is accompanying her to play.

Seeing her like this, Jin Li couldn't help but feel relieved, but still comforted her:

"Enjoyment first, competition second. Even if you didn't enter the Grand Final, in my heart, you are still the best singer tonight."

Xi Sister Meng Ze said with a grin: "I know that in your hearts, I must be the first."

"Don't worry, I'm not that fragile. From the beginning, I didn't intend to become famous on the program. Going from a challenger singer to a replacement singer wasn't my original intention."

Jin Li said 'mm', and made an appointment with her to go play for a few days after she finished shooting the commercial.

Not knowing what she thought of, a smile flashed in her eyes: "Play happily these few days. After I finish shooting the commercial, Fang Jie will definitely kill her way over to pull you to run announcements."

Xi Sister Meng Ze held her forehead, "This is truly a sad story."

Yet she wasn't resistant to the announcements Sui Lingfang arranged for her.

Her agent had perfectly mastered her hobbies, and most of the announcements arranged for her were ones where she could shoot while playing.

Completely unable to refuse!

After Jin Li hung up the video call with her, she connected to the video call with Gu Cheng, which Gu Cheng had kept open the whole time.

Gu Cheng asked: "Is Xi Sister Meng Ze's mood okay?"

Jin Li smiled: "Not bad. I can still tell the difference between a forced smile and a genuinely good mood. Meng Meng's desire to win isn't that strong; she doesn't care whether she enters the Grand Final or not."

"By the way, did your agent contact you?" She changed the subject and asked about *Assassination*.

Gu Cheng shook his head: "No, but next week, we should be able to get a result."

Jin Li said: "I hope Chenxi Entertainment gives me an answer quickly, otherwise there won't be a chance to get a piece of the pie later."

Gu Cheng was a bit surprised: "Are you so sure Tianding will invest in *Assassination*?"

"Hmm..."

Jin Li pondered for a while and said slowly: "Rather than saying I think Tianding will invest in *Assassination*, it's better to say I have a lot of confidence in your agent. I think he will definitely convince the company's senior management."

"Brother Guang..." Gu Cheng thought about it and smiled, "He does have this ability. As long as he wants to help, even if he pesters the senior management, he can negotiate it for me."

"And there's one thing you probably don't know: Brother Guang is also one of Tianding's senior management, and he made us popular, so his weight in the company is very heavy."

Jin Li said with great interest: "Then in that case, the top priority now is to get the script adapted quickly."

Gu Cheng nodded: "I call the director to urge him every day now."

After Gu Cheng finished chatting with Jin Li, he walked to the living room to pour a glass of water and found Yan Xingdong watching TV in the living room.

Gu Cheng glanced at the program; it was the Grand Final of *I Am a Singer* tonight.

Yan Xingdong was watching very seriously.

Gu Cheng said lightly: "The competition is over, and the results have been announced. Is there any point in you catching up now?"

Yan Xingdong frowned, "I just like watching singing programs, is that not allowed?"

Gu Cheng shrugged, "Allowed, of course it's allowed. I'm not saying you can't watch it. I just want to say, if it were me, I'd rather call the person involved immediately. Whether it's to comfort them or just chat, it's better than catching up on videos silently by yourself."

Yan Xingdong stared at Gu Cheng and was silent for a long time.

Just as Gu Cheng was about to leave, he squeezed out a sentence: "There's no topic to talk about."

Gu Cheng looked at him speechlessly and shook his head with a sigh.

What's the use of reading romance comics every day!

He hasn't learned a single trick for chasing girls from the comics, and in reality, he's still a little rookie, and he still needs him, a beginner, to give advice.

"Don't you and her have common topics?"

Yan Xingdong was stunned, "Where?"

"I'm not as good at singing as her, my announcements don't overlap with hers, and we aren't together... I don't see her once a month..."

Yan Xingdong counted them one by one, and the more he counted, the more he felt his path to love was extremely bleak.

Gu Cheng said with hatred for his lack of progress: "Comics! Don't you read comics whenever you have free time? Xi Sister Meng Ze also likes reading comics. Isn't this a great topic?"

Yan Xingdong choked, "I like reading hot-blooded comics. I really can't get a word in with romance comics. Every time I recommend a comic to her, it's a bit terrible."

Specifically how terrible.

He wouldn't say.

Gu Cheng was speechless, "So you deserve to be single."

"You can't find good romance comics, but can't Xi Sister Meng Ze find them? Can't you ask her for help? You make everything perfect yourself, even if Xi Sister Meng Ze wants to help you, she can't! Will you die if you find some topics to talk about?"

Yan Xingdong seemed to be enlightened and fell into deep thought.

By the time he vaguely thought of something and looked up, Gu Cheng's figure was no longer in the living room.

Yan Xingdong muttered to himself: "So can I also make a video call like Orange?"

"Did you only react to this now?"

Suddenly, a voice sounded abruptly in the living room, giving Yan Xingdong a fright!

"Luo Yi? When did you lie on the sofa behind me?"

Luo Yi took the book off his face and said with a smile: "I was already resting here before you came to the living room and turned on the TV."

Yan Xingdong's mouth twitched, "Alright, I didn't see you."

Luo Yi stood up, stretched, yawned, and was sleepy-eyed.

"There's one in the group who is best at dating, yet you're looking far away and pondering blindly. Clearly, you could get the optimal solution by copying and learning."

"Here's a piece of advice: do whatever Gu Cheng does. Gu Cheng is shameless, so you follow and be shameless too. Come on, young man!"

Luo Yi patted Yan Xingdong on the shoulder and said this with an expression that saw through everything.

"Bang!"

Chen Lin opened the door with a clatter, wearing Bluetooth earphones in his ears and holding a phone in his hand.

He played games while talking, and at the same time accurately dodged the obstacles in front of him.

"Sister Mingzhu, heal me, I'm going to die!"

"Good, good! Perfect cooperation!"

"Sister Mingzhu, I'm going to push the tower. What about you? Are you still staying here?"

"Mm-hmm, okay, then you come with me. Don't worry about the others, a bunch of noobs, let's kill this game!"

"Right, over there on the left path, that's right, kill kill kill... Wow! You're so amazing, Sister Mingzhu!"

Chen Lin held his phone with one hand and opened the refrigerator with the other, taking out orange juice.

"I'm drinking water, a bit thirsty. Do you have any drinks you like recently?"

"Coconut water? Not bad, I want to drink it too... Ah? You're sending me two boxes? That's too much, I'll send you the address in a bit!"

"By the way, I saw a particularly cute accessory yesterday. I feel like you'd look great wearing it, I'll send it to you too!"

Chen Lin gulped it down, quenched his thirst, and returned to the bedroom dashingly.

He completely ignored Luo Yi and Yan Xingdong in the living room.

After Chen Lin left, Luo Yi looked at Yan Xingdong with a hint of pity.

"Captain."

"Ah?"

"Our youngest's IQ is about to surpass yours. Look at how good he is at coaxing girls."

Yan Xingdong's face stiffened.

There was a feeling of being stabbed in the heart.

He originally felt a bit embarrassed, but after seeing Chen Lin, he suddenly felt again.

Being shameless is also quite good.

The next day, Jin Li came to the Fang Fei headquarters.

The shooting location was set on the fourth floor.

Today, they were shooting hard-copy commercials all day.

Originally, Jin Li felt that it should be finished in one day, but after the shooting started, she felt that at the current progress, it would probably take three days.

Fortunately, Jin Li had the ability of "twice the result with half the effort." The more focused she was, the faster her efficiency.

She was still adapting in the morning, but her efficiency improved significantly in the afternoon.

Whether it was a gentle type of cheongsam, or a bright, moving, dashing, casual, or crisp and neat cheongsam, she could master them all quickly.

The photographer cooperated with Jin Li; the more immersed they were, the higher the output rate.

There were many people coming and going at the shooting scene.

Many Fang Fei employees came to watch out of admiration.

While they had to go back to work, they also brought back the latest news about Jin Li.

"Jin Li's efficiency is so high! She shot four outfits in the afternoon. Her sense of the camera is super good, even Win praised her!"

Other employees who didn't go were taken aback.

"Are you sure? Win's photography requirements are very high. Before, when he was borrowed to shoot a set of outdoor hard commercials, he scolded an A-list actress until she cried, saying her plastic face was stiff, her fake eyelashes were pasted ugly, and she didn't manage her body well..."

The employee who went confirmed: "Yes, Win has to praise Jin Li every time he takes a photo. He is very satisfied with Jin Li, saying she is even prettier in person and a bit unphotogenic."

Another employee said: "Then it seems Jin Li didn't have plastic surgery. Win's standards are quite high. He likes natural faces very much, saying that plastic faces aren't natural enough, aren't vivid in expression, and can't make many expressions."

Another employee said: "The key is that she can get Win's recognition. Her ability is very extraordinary."

Zhang Zong, who was passing by the employee office area.

Hearing the employees' discussion, he couldn't help but frown.

He said seriously to the assistant beside him: "Tell them to get to work immediately. They have time to gossip, but no time to hand in the design drawings!"

The assistant immediately lowered her head: "Yes, Zhang Zong."

The assistant just walked around the designer's office and told the designers that Zhang Zong had just passed by the door, and those designers immediately returned to their seats, but each of them looked a bit unconvinced.

They were just putting on a show.

The design department was different from other departments. The expression of art is free, and design art must grasp the fleeting inspiration.

But where does inspiration come from?

It's definitely not by punching the clock, working from nine to five every day facing the computer, that you can get inspiration.

Moreover, the design drawings produced in this way also lack soul.

Therefore, Dai Zong set very loose conditions for the design department: if you don't want to come to work, you don't have to, as long as you can hand in a finished design drawing every week.

At the same time.

Even if you come to the company to work, it's very free.

Designers can watch videos on the computer, watch animations, or even chat with people, hold snack parties in the department, go for afternoon tea together, etc.

You can do whatever you want!

Because of this philosophy, many designers in the company are willing to come to work.

But some presidents like this atmosphere, while others don't.

For example, Zhang Zong, who is also one of the shareholders of Fang Fei.

As a president with real power, but very little real power, Zhang Zong likes to manage everything.

Whenever he comes down and sees designers running around, or chatting together, he has to lecture them.

Over time, these designers also learned to put on a show.

After all, there's no good result from clashing.

And such trivial matters can't reach Dai Zong.

After a while, another designer walked in and was startled: "Why are you suddenly so quiet?"

"Zhang Zong just came by."

"Oh, so that's it... then it's fine. He has already left. I ran into him on the way, and he was heading to the fourth floor, probably to watch Jin Li shoot flat photos."

Some designers thought of something and said: "According to Zhang Zong's personality, I feel he will definitely point fingers at the shooting again."

"Eight or nine out of ten!"

"Ahem, well, I have something to leave for a moment!" suddenly a designer said.

Before long, several other designers said: "I remembered I have something to do at home, I'll leave first!"

As the number of people in the office became fewer and fewer, the remaining designers suddenly realized and stood up one after another to run out.

They fell for it!

How could those designers who left have something to do at home?

They were clearly running to the fourth floor to watch the fun!

Fourth floor of Fang Fei headquarters.

As soon as Zhang Zong entered, he saw a dazzling flash.

Turning his head, he saw Jin Li wearing a red cheongsam, standing against a solid-colored background taking photos.

Her posture in Zhang Zong's eyes was indeed professional enough; Pink Girls had been popular before, and she wasn't a stranger to shooting hard photos.

However, Zhang Zong came prepared this time too.

He first stood next to Win and observed for a few minutes. When Win put down the camera to adjust the angle, he spoke:

"Win, don't you think using light makeup can't reflect the color collision used by Fang Fei?"

Win frowned, "What is Zhang Zong's idea?"

Zhang Zong: "Let's put heavy makeup on Jin Li. Not heavy makeup in the literal sense, but give her artistic makeup, and boldly use color splicing on her face."

Win was a bit hesitant: "This requires discussing a different makeup look, time might not be enough..."

Zhang Zong smiled and said: "Don't worry, I've already prepared it, you can take a look. After all, the photos will be promoted in the China region, so it's better to strive for perfection."

Seeing Zhang Zong say this, Win didn't say anything more and looked at the photos. ===== CHAPTER 187 =====
