Chapter 204: 196 Exposing the fake identity in person [2nd Update]
“Hmm, seal script,” Ying Zijin propped her chin with her hand, “Think of it as an anti-counterfeiting mark.”
The female secretary understood.
Generally speaking, designers would leave little easter eggs in their design drafts that only the designer themselves would understand.
There once was a designer who specifically embroidered characters on the clothes they designed.
But they wouldn’t be noticeable under normal circumstances, only in complete darkness would these characters glow.
Still curious, the female secretary asked, “Why the character ‘Charm’?”
It seemed to have no relation to the design theme of these four suits.
“Just a random name I came up with before,” Ying Zijin slowly stretched and her tone grew huskier, “Use it and don’t overthink.”
The female secretary, with great tact, did not ask any further, “Boss, are you going to attend the fashion show?”
“No need,” Ying Zijin yawned, “Just find someone to stand in for me.”
The female secretary had already gotten used to her boss’s personality, “Should we use the ‘Charm’ character as the designer’s name then?”
The competing works still needed to be labeled.
“You decide,” Ying Zijin nodded slightly, “I’m going to read a script.”
The secretary left.
After a while, there was a knock on the door.
Without looking up from her computer, Ying Zijin said, “Come in.”
The door opened, and Shang Yaozhi entered, still fully armed.
He stood still, hesitating, suddenly unsure of how to address her.
To this day, Shang Yaozhi still couldn’t understand why Ying Zijin had suddenly become the Executive Director of Chuguang Media.
And as though seeing through the turmoil in his heart, the girl flicked her eyelids, “Call me anything, it’s just a code name, no big deal.”
“Miss Ying,” Shang Yaozhi paused before continuing, “I came to tell you, I shot a TV drama before I left Star Entertainment, and it’s about to be aired.”
“I know,” Ying Zijin looked up, “a period drama set in the Republic of China era, Star Entertainment made you pair up with the company’s actress and even deliberately hyped up a couple pairing.”
Shang Yaozhi gave a slight, sardonic smile and sighed, “That’s right, so I was wondering if it might cause any trouble for the company.”
Ever since he had won the award for Best Actor, the scripts looking for him had increased.
His agent said that since he was determined to make a foray into the film industry, he should do fewer TV dramas.
But both he and his agent were under the control of Star Entertainment.
With his family involved as well, he had to do whatever Star Entertainment asked of him.
So whether he was shooting movies or dramas, or occasionally being invited to variety shows as a mentor, Star Entertainment required him to always bring along other stars from the company.
Before this TV drama, he had been invited to “Youth 101” to be a mentor for the singer-songwriter group.
Underneath him, there was a trainee from Star Entertainment.
It was just that the trainee’s skills were so poor that even with Star Entertainment tampering with the fan voting, they still couldn’t make the trainee debut in the end.
And this time, due to the forced romantic pairing, his fanbase was also suffering a lot.
“No trouble,” Ying Zijin said indifferently, “You are an A-list signee, the company is supposed to take care of everything for you. Don’t worry, your drama has several TV stations and streaming platforms buying it.”
“A conservative estimate, it’ll bring in tens of millions, not a loss.”
Such was the drawing power of a top-tier Best Actor.
Not to mention, due to recent events, Shang Yaozhi’s fame had risen to another level again, and his fanbase was united as never before.
Shang Yaozhi nodded, and after thinking for a bit, he added, “Miss Ying, many people in the circle have been asking me who the miraculous doctor I met is, but I haven’t told them.”
“I treat people based on fate,” Ying Zijin’s gaze flickered slightly, “Those with fate will meet.”
As absurd as the idea of bringing people back from the dead seemed, Shang Yaozhi knew it had really happened.
Moreover, the entertainment industry tended to believe somewhat in these things.
He felt that Ying Zijin had saved him from the brink of death and must have paid a corresponding price.
“Not bad,” Ying Zijin glanced at him, “You were easier to save.”
Saving an ordinary person was just a convenient act for her, as long as their allotted time hadn’t run out.
“Then, thank you, Miss Ying,” Shang Yaozhi nodded his head, “If there’s anything you need, I’ll make sure it gets done.”
“There is one thing,” Ying Zijin pondered for a moment, “the company has a series of outfits, with two designs for men that need promoting. It’s up to you, though, no pressure.”
“A small matter,” Shang Yaozhi smiled, “I’ve said before, whatever Miss Ying needs, just ask, as long as I can do it.”
After he left, he met with his agent.
His agent hurried to greet him, “Yaozhi, how did it go, did you see Chuchuan’s Executive Director?”
“I did,” Shang Yaozhi didn’t intend to reveal Ying Zijin’s identity, “How are things after you infiltrated the fan group with your alternate account?”
He truly didn’t understand why, as a grown man, eighty percent of his fanbase would consist of “mom fans.”
