Chapter 195: Mystery Man

Chapter 195

When shooting Spy, Zhong Ruanxing was still a little-known actress with scandals. Now that Spy is released, she has firmly established herself as a second-tier starlet, just one representative work away from becoming a first-tier starlet.

And this representative work is coming soon - the highly anticipated Summer Murmurs that will be released during summer vacation. Originally, because the female lead suddenly got embroiled in a drug scandal, Zhong Ruanxing lucked out and got to play both roles, with Song Jingxing playing the first half and Zhong Ruanxing playing the second half, delivering a perfect portrayal as if they were two different people.

Of course, the audience doesn't know they really are two different people. They can only marvel at Zhong Ruanxing's superb acting skills. I heard when they were reviewing the film, the reviewers were so engrossed they didn't want to take breaks, pulling several all-nighters to watch the entire show and leaving rave "guaranteed summer blockbuster" reviews.

But for now, with Summer Murmurs not released yet and Letters to You not finished shooting, let's go watch Spy first to pass time!

Spy movies generally don't have huge box offices, but initial screenings received great online reception. Many reviewers praised Spy as a top quality spy film with refined production and fantastic acting by the cast, driving tons of pre-sales to bring Spy's pre-sales to 100 million yuan before official release.

On the May 1st Golden Week holiday, Spy officially premiered.

Song Jingxing also took time off Letters to You to join the Spy crew on their roadshow promotion tour. The crew gathering after over a year apart, everyone had changed tremendously.

Kou An'an was still steadily seated as a popular actress, successfully transitioning from TV to big screen through Spy. Guan Yuanzhou also grew from a rookie idol contestant into an actor with his own iconic work. But of course, the one who changed the most was Zhong Ruanxing.

In his life, Song Jingxing never had any friends, always a loner whether as a child or adult. But as Zhong Ruanxing, he experienced what it felt like to be cared for by so-called friends.

Despite not meeting for over a year, Kou An'an and Guan Yuanzhou were still very warm to him, their joy at reuniting with a long lost friend also infecting him. After gaining love and family, friendship finally left its first faint imprint in his barren emotional world.

At this time, he especially missed his little star.

And his little star was currently accompanying Granny Song and Song Shaling to buy out the cinema for her "sister-in-law's" first movie to show support!

As a result, Song Group's employees were mysteriously given a huge movie gift pack on a regular work day, containing not just two Spy movie tickets, but also large popcorn and soda vouchers.

Although Song Group employees were used to getting benefits from the company, they were still extremely excited to suddenly receive such a big gift pack on an ordinary work day. What's more, the company thoughtfully gave two tickets per person, so they could bring a friend or family member, worrying they'd feel lonely watching alone!

Many employees posted about the movie gift pack on social media, once again praising their company for caring about employees, saying they will work loyally for Song Group for life!

Zhong Ruanxing was forced to work overtime because the employees were too hardworking.

She really wanted to yell, Comrades, rest up! Don't work the company mule to death! You're going to work your boss to death like this!

But she had no choice, the company gave too much! Today, I, a Song Group employee, would rather die than not die at my workplace!

After being forced to work consecutive overtime for a week, Zhong Ruanxing couldn't take it anymore. She notified Fu Ling to issue a notice that everyone must clock off on time today, anyone still working overtime will be fired!

Employees: QAQ Boss Song is so considerate of us! Colleagues, let's bring our work computers home!

Unaware of the employees' intentions, Zhong Ruanxing saw the floor go completely dark at 6pm sharp and revealed a satisfied smile.

She tidied up and stretched lazily, also preparing to clock off.

She had already planned that tonight, she would properly exercise for a few hours to maintain her boyfriend's abs, benefiting her future self. Taking advantage of her boyfriend being uncontactable for video calls, she would pamper herself with a milk bath using his body, and apply a face mask! Tonight, be a precious piggy boy!

The office door was suddenly knocked on.

Tong Ling led a masked man inside: "Boss Song, Mr Zou is here to see you."

Zhong Ruanxing's fantasies were interrupted. She looked puzzlingly at the unfamiliar man following behind Tong Ling. Usually an experienced secretary like Tong Ling wouldn't easily bring just anyone into the CEO's office.

Yet no matter how hard Zhong Ruanxing wracked her brain, she couldn't recall anything related to a Mr Zou that Song Jingxing had told her before.

Who was this person? How did he get brought in so easily by Tong Ling to meet her?

Zhong Ruanxing didn't speak. Mr Zou walked two steps forward, his voice somewhat hoarse but tone very polite: "Mr Song, I haven't been able to contact you at the number you gave me, it's been out of signal range. Unable to reach you, I could only come see you in person."

Zhong Ruanxing saw a pair of bright eyes. This man exuded an aura unlike ordinary people.

She was silent for a moment, then lightly waved her hand at Tong Ling: "You can clock off first."CHeCk for new stories on no/v/el/bin(.)c0m
