Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
A bitter smile appeared on Chen Che’s lips. Zhang Enyi said, “Don’t tell me you want me to plead for you? That’s too immature.”
Chen Che spread his hands helplessly. “I’m also an inexperienced person. Director, can you give me a suggestion?”
Zhang Enyi pondered for a moment and flicked the cigarette ash again. “Of course I can communicate with President Zhang, but I can’t do it on behalf of her because this has nothing to do with the production team for ‘Let’s Go’.”
Zhang Enyi’s gaze lingered on Chen Che as he continued, “What right do you have to ask others to show mercy to your artiste? Isn’t this too ridiculous?”
Chen Che said, “That’s why I plan to get Chu Zhengfei to help cut it and pretend that it never happened. Then, I’ll contact Liang Mi and explain in private to let her know that Little Xi has no intention of taking on a private job behind the company’s back. She’s just doing it for the sake of friendship.”
Zhang Enyi stubbed out his cigarette affectionately and praised in a full tone, “Chen Che, I have to say that all your thoughts are almost watertight. It fully reflects your IQ.and EQ.”
Chen Che smiled and nodded. “Then say ‘but’.”
Zhang Enyi revealed a teasing smile. “But you neglected the most important point…”
Chen Che looked at him intently and waited.
Zhang Enyi said affectionately, “Who do you think you are? Chu Zhengfei is a big planner. Would she listen to the requests of an outdated artiste like you? Not to mention that Liang Mi has been popular since she entered the industry. The controversies surrounding her have all survived. Her aura is extraordinary. It’s a favor to acknowledge you, but it’s also reasonable to ignore you.”
Chen Che chuckled. Clearly, he had not neglected it. However, so what if he understood?
Didn’t he still have to do his best?
Looking at Chen Che, Zhang Enyi stopped smiling. “Moreover, let me put it bluntly. Even I might not be able to help you much. It’s best to talk about this in private. In the name of the production team, communicate with the company for what happened to the artist on other shows. People will think that I’m sick.”
Zhang Enyi thought for a moment and gestured to Chen Che in a passionate tone. “How about this? I’ll look for her tomorrow morning and communicate with her about the production work normally. Anyway, we’ve already finished one episode. It’s not the expected interaction with Luo Heng. It’s more with you. We can mention this topic at the same time. We’ll talk about it when the time comes.”
Chen Che smiled gratefully and stood up. “Thank you, Director. I…”
Zhang Enyi waved his hand. “Don’t stand on ceremony. You rarely beg me. You’ve always helped me a lot. Especially your ability, variety sense, and private interpersonal relationships. In a few aspects, you’re already indispensable to me.”
He ignored Chen Che with a faint smile. “This is her own business. Don’t you think it’s funny that we’re actually rushing to plead for leniency as outsiders?”
Chen Che nodded. “Just take it as I’m funny.”
Chen Che casually threw the takeout he had finished out of the trash can.
Zhang Enyi reprimanded with a smile. This did not look like a begging posture.
However, the two of them were of the same age, and although the filming time was short, the tacit understanding was getting deeper and closer than other fixed members.
He did not say anything else about this matter.
The next day at dawn.
“Haha, it’s really interesting.” Zhang Enyi walked back and sat down. He said to Chen Che, “It’s even more interesting than you.”
Chen Che was puzzled. “What do you mean?”
At this moment, they were already on the street of the merchandise stall.
Waiting for the guests to gather for the second episode, Zhang Enyi took the initiative to make a call the next morning.
In fact, he was just calling Zhang Ning. After the call, he came over to say this to Chen Che.
From his tone, it was obvious that this was not good news. Clearly, there was no consensus in the negotiations.
Zhang Enyi said, “They said that it’s impossible for Little Xi to be a couple with anyone else, especially you.”
Chen Che smiled helplessly and touched his nose. This was not unexpected.
Zhang Enyi looked at Chen Che calmly and expressed that this was also his position.
“I also told them that I’m not happy that Little Xi went to film ‘Flower Boys’ during the filming period. What’s her intention? Does she like Lemon TV’s show so much? The broadcast time is even the same as our show.”
“Don’t be like this!” Chen Che looked at Zhang Enyi helplessly. “Aren’t you causing trouble for Little Xi?”
Zhang Enyi smiled. “I can’t care less. That’s all I can do.”
Chen Che asked helplessly, “Don’t be like this. I promise you that even if we’re not in the same group, we can achieve the effect you want.”
Zhang Enyi shook his head. “I believe you, but I feel that it’s better to be in the same group.”
Chen Che advised Zhang Enyi, “Director, look at it from another angle. Regardless of whether the other party agrees to me continuing to interact with Lin Xi, the audience, the station leaders, and the sponsors have to see that I can still perform well after leaving her.”
Seeing Zhang Enyi’s hesitation, Chen Che simply said, “This way, you’ll be easier to talk to in the future. Prove that your judgment is right. I can perform better and more comprehensively and shake off the reputation of relying on Lin Xi to be outstanding. Only then can you turn passive into active.”
Zhang Enyi pondered for a long time, his eyes flickering with wisdom. He smiled at Chen Che. “Why do you have to make it sound so pleasant? In the end, isn’t it still for Little Xi?”
Chen Che spread his hands helplessly. “You can’t deny that what I said does make sense.”
Zhang Enyi pondered for a moment and finally nodded in agreement. “Alright, I admit your point of view. However, you have to understand that this is more difficult for you and you have to put in more effort. If you don’t meet expectations, I won’t compromise. Similarly, if you sacrifice your image to achieve your goal, it has nothing to do with me. You have to bear it yourself.”
Chen Che said gratefully, “Director, please give me a chance. If not, you can stop at any time. I’ll thank you first!”
“Don’t mention it.”
Zhang Enyi looked around and his gaze landed on Lin Xi. “Do you really like her? Perhaps she’s also interested in you? If the two of you really fall in love, will you interfere in any disagreements in the company in the future?”
Chen Che waved his hand. “My relationship with her is not what you think. Moreover, if there’s a dispute in the future, as long as it’s not because of me, I definitely won’t interfere. This time, it’s because of me. It’s considered a special situation.”
Zhang Enyi was silent for a moment. He sighed and looked at Chen Che. “Alright, I’ll give you a chance. But if you can’t do it, don’t blame me for not helping you.”
Chen Che stood up and said solemnly, “I understand. I’ll definitely make the show’s effect better, even if we’re not in the same group.”
“Brother Chao, bring me to meet the guests.”
In the free time before filming, Chen Che wanted to get to know the guests and develop a tacit understanding.
After all, the guests were also here for their works.
Zhao Chao said thoughtfully, “By the way, you’re not familiar with them, right?”
Chen Che spread his hands helplessly. “It’s mainly because they don’t know me.”
“Then let’s go. I’ll bring you to meet him.”
Zhao Chao brought Chen Che over without hesitation.
This episode, Chen Che was shouldering many mission. He had to complete the requirements of the show and solve his personal problems..
