Chapter 131 Am I the only one who is wrong?
Chen Yan was stunned for a moment when he heard Yu Qiaoqiao's words.
Weird games?
Why does it feel a little bit off?
He thought for a moment, sat down next to Yu Qiaoqiao, and asked with concern, "What did she do?"
Yu Qiaoqiao shrank like a little quail and said shyly, "It's...it's nothing."
"It's just that Sister Manman said she wanted to play games."
"Then he hugged me and touched my legs..."
Chen Yan:?
Yu Qiaoqiao, "And... while touching me, he asked me if I felt anything strange."
Chen Yan: ? ?
What the hell?
What is that funny guy doing...?
Yu Qiaoqiao said, "But the problem is, I didn't feel anything at all. I just felt itchy and struggled to get her to stop. But she happily said, 'That's it,' 'That's it.'"
Chen Yan: ???
At this point, Yu Qiaoqiao said angrily, "I feel like Sister Manman has no respect for people at all. I feel like my legs have been rubbed raw."
Chen Yan: …
Having said this, Yu Qiaoqiao paused and recalled.
Then she said a little confusedly, "After that, maybe seeing that I really didn't have any other feelings, she sat on the ground with a bit of doubt about life, talking to herself."
"They said things like 'What's wrong with this?' 'Why am I the only one who's like this?' 'Is there something wrong with me?'"
Chen Yan was silent for a while.
Then he silently covered his forehead.
Why, I inexplicably had a feeling that... I had ruined Lu Man.
Judging from the game's description of this funny girl, she probably didn't understand anything like this before. She just had similar... potential.
As a result, after she was aroused, she realized that something was wrong with her, so she began to doubt her life during this period.
What can I do...
Seeing that Chen Yan was also a little depressed, Yu Qiaoqiao said in a low voice, "Chen Yan, actually I didn't want to trouble you at the beginning."
"But... isn't Sister Manman going to film a new movie soon?"
"I feel like in this state, filming a new movie is going to be a disaster for her."
At this point, she paused and added, "You paid for the investment in that play. If it fails, you will also have to pay a lot of money."
"That's why... I came to talk to you. See what you think."
Hearing Yu Qiaoqiao's words, Chen Yan raised his head and tried to act normal, "Okay. Thank you, Qiaoqiao."
"I know about this. After work, I'll go find her and see what's going on with her."
Yu Qiaoqiao nodded vigorously, "Okay!"
After that, she murmured softly, "I don't want to go to Sister Manman again. It's too scary..."
Chen Yan: …
It’s retribution!
Look how scared my boss Qiaoqiao is!
…
While Chen Yan and Yu Qiaoqiao were chatting, Sister Meili was also talking about business with Lu Man in the hotel.
Sister Meili held a bunch of information and said to Lu Man, "Manman, I have a plan here. I want to discuss it with you first."
Lu Man doesn't seem to be having a good time these days, and seems a little absent-minded.
Hearing something she didn't understand, she looked up in confusion, "Ah? What plan?"
Sister Meili said, "It's a plan to change your personality."
She handed the information to Lu Man and said, "You have always wanted to change your personality. I know this."
"But a person's character really can't be changed just by saying so."
"So I plan to transform you step by step."
As she spoke, she pointed to the first row and said, "It just so happens that you have left your original agency and set up your own private studio."
"So I plan to use this as a gimmick to transform you."
She paused and said, "The first transformation character I plan to create for you is: a strong woman in the circle."
"My plan is to hold a press conference once Chen Yan's money arrives."
"You bought out your contract. You officially became independent and set up your own celebrity studio."
"You previously filmed the game "The Secret Guardian", which made you discover your infinite possibilities. You also came into contact with some investors in the gaming industry and gained their trust."
"So you became independent and, with their support, established your own film and television company and celebrity studio."
"In the future, your company will be involved in artist management and film and television investment, and you will personally serve as the producer and supervisor of film and television dramas."
Hearing Sister Meili's plan, Lu Man looked up in surprise, "Isn't this... a bit exaggerated?"
Sister Meili shook her head and said, "It's not an exaggeration. How can you attract people's attention without some gimmicks these days?"
"Moreover, what we said is almost all true. Your financier, Chen Yan, is indeed from the gaming industry. And you do have shares in a film and television company and are involved in the production of film and television dramas."
"If it is built according to this kind of strong woman character."
"As long as our company produces a few hit movies, your value and status in the industry will skyrocket."
"Before, you were at most a traffic star. Anyone could manipulate you."
"But when all this is achieved, you can also be considered a local tyrant."
"When others see you, they will also call you Sister Man or President Man."
"With this premise, your promotion to first-tier and big-name actresses will be smoother and more natural."
Hearing what Sister Meili said about the future, Lu Man felt fascinated for a moment.
Who doesn’t want to be a top star? Who doesn’t want to be the top-notch actress in the circle?
But... there are so many people in the entertainment industry, but only a few positions.
Even if you become a top-notch actress or a top-tier traffic star, you cannot reach that position without more than ten years of experience.
But now... Sister Meili has found a shortcut for me...
Using her plan to arouse Lu Man's desire, Sister Meili finally revealed her "purpose".
She said, "But, Manman, it's not easy to do this."
"Because in addition to ensuring that our movie is a big hit, we also need Chen Yan's support."
"It's not just financial support, he also has to cooperate with us."
"For example... we also need to create a character for him."
She paused and explained, "We are still too weak and have too few cards. If we just stay in the circle, no one will care about us."
"Even if you set up your own company, people will just think you found a small boss with no background to invest and you are just doing small things."
"So, we have to find a way to reverse this impression."
“At first, I was also troubled by this.”
"But then it suddenly occurred to me that since Chen Yan himself has no background, we can create one for him."
"For example... we can say that he is a gaming genius who is building his own entertainment empire."
"So I took the start-up capital from my family and a few talented people and started my own business."
Lu Man was puzzled for a moment, "Will this work?"
Sister Meili smiled mysteriously, "Of course it works."
"Let me tell you, I have investigated Chen Yan's company before. I found something very strange in their company."
"That is... several of the veterans of their company all came from the Zhao Group."
Lu Man was startled. "Zhao Group?"
Sister Meili nodded, "Yes. Zhao Group."
"So... you say, if we publicize this, someone in the circle might follow up and make some inquiries. Will they conclude that Chen Yan has a Zhao family background? And then they will become wary."
Lu Man was shocked again.
Can things still be done this way?
She asked, "Then...Will the Zhao Group have any objections?"
Sister Meili smiled and said, "What's your opinion? We never said that Chen Yan's company has the background of Zhao Group. We didn't even mention the word Zhao."
"What does other people's guesses have to do with us?"
"What's more, with a small company like ours, the Zhao Group probably won't even pay attention to it, let alone hear similar rumors."
"When the company develops in the later stage, these things will not be important. No one will care."
"To put it bluntly, we are just borrowing momentum in the early stages, and we still have to rely on ourselves for future development."
Lu Man nodded silently.
Seeing that Lu Man had no doubts, Sister Meili coughed and said,
"It seems that you also agree with my plan."
"Then... Manman, I need you to contribute to this plan."
"Didn't you make such a big sacrifice for Chen Yan's game before?"
"I hope you can persuade Chen Yan to agree to this plan."
"Today's entrepreneurs are actually no different from celebrities. They all need a persona, publicity and exposure."
"After all, in today's society, marketing and advertising are becoming more and more important."
"Once you establish his persona, then in the future as you gradually become a superstar, his games and companies will get a lot of exposure."
“It’s a win-win situation.”
After hearing what Sister Meili said, Lu Man said, "Since it's a win-win situation, why don't you talk to him yourself?"
Sister Meili said awkwardly, "Actually, I mentioned it to him, but he wasn't interested. He just wanted to play games quietly."
"So...I want you to come out and persuade him."
"Only with his cooperation can your development in the circle go smoothly."
Hearing what Sister Meili said, Lu Man bit her lip and felt a little hesitant.
These days, whenever Lu Man thought of Chen Yan, she couldn't help but think of the night when she was molested.
And as she thought about it again and again, she was surprised to find that... she seemed no longer angry, but instead... had a hint of desire.
This made her feel like something was wrong with her.
What made her even more desperate and unacceptable was...
She experimented with Jiang Nanxing and Yu Qiaoqiao, touching their legs forcefully and asking them how they felt. But they didn't feel anything unusual...
This made Lu Man, who initially thought that everyone was like this, completely despair.
It turns out...she's the only one who's abnormal.
Or maybe... only Chen Yan would feel it when doing this kind of thing?
Lu Man, who had never experienced anything like this, was completely confused these days.
I don’t know how to face Chen Yan.
But now...Sister Meili asked her to go talk to Chen Yan.
How could she possibly accept that!
Thinking of this, Lu Man said angrily, "I'm not going! If you want to go, go ahead!"
"Let's go! Goodbye!" After saying that, she stood up, walked quickly to the door, and wanted to leave the room!
Sister Meili quickly called out to her from behind, "Manman!"
Lu Man stopped walking, but still said firmly without turning his head, "I won't go!"
Sister Meili coughed and said, "No..."
"I mean... this is your room. If anyone wants to leave, it should be me."
Lu Man: ...
Five minutes later, Lu Man looked at the empty room and took a few deep breaths.
After driving Chen Yan out of her mind, she picked up the script and went to the bathroom to start practicing her acting skills again.
Since it is impossible to establish a personal image, then just work hard to improve your professional abilities first.
If you want to become a superstar, it still depends on your own efforts...
…
After chatting with Yu Qiaoqiao, Chen Yan drank coffee while thinking about Lu Man.
He thought that maybe he really scared Lu Man. Although this funny guy is usually carefree, he probably has never encountered such a thing.
Coupled with her own unique "physique", she began to doubt herself.
This is not good news for her physical and mental health, or for Chen Yan's cloud-raising plan.
So Chen Yan thought that maybe he should go see Lu Man tonight.
…
It was around 8 o'clock in the evening and the company got off work.
Chen Yan sent Yu Qiaoqiao back to school as usual, and then walked to the hotel where Lu Man was by himself...
