232: Chapter 232 I'll cook you a bowl of noodles.
Zhang Ying saw a smile appear on Chen Shaoping's face, knowing that the matter was resolved.
She knew it had something to do with Tian Jun, but didn't know the specifics.
So she smiled and said, "Is it resolved? Happy now? Interested?"
"Let's go, back to the bedroom. You can do whatever you want."
"Hehe!" Chen Shaoping heard this and chuckled mischievously, "Sister Ying, is there only 'yellow' in your head?"
"Is there a possibility that I'm actually hungry and want to eat noodles?"
Zhang Ying's pretty face instantly turned crimson, she glared at him with wide eyes, grabbed a pillow, and threw it over.
"Who told you not to speak clearly? You're still making fun of me. See how I'll deal with you."
Suddenly, everything on the sofa flew towards Chen Shaoping.
He blocked left and right, and not a single one hit him.
Zhang Ying's face grew darker and darker, clearly angry.
Seeing this, Chen Shaoping's movements slowed down a bit.
He took a few hits on his face and body from time to time.
"Ouch!"
"Darling, I was wrong, I know I was wrong, please forgive me!"
Chen Shaoping cried out repeatedly, constantly begging for mercy.
Zhang Ying snorted coldly, the corners of her mouth curled up high, her face full of haughtiness.
"Still dare not bully me? Let you know my power."
"I wouldn't dare, I wouldn't dare!" Chen Shaoping quickly lowered his head and admitted.
Zhang Ying looked at Chen Shaoping's pleading expression, felt relieved, and her anger naturally subsided.
She gently put down the sofa cushion in her hand and said with satisfaction, "Straighten up the sofa for me."
"Oh, okay!" Chen Shaoping honestly agreed, then asked, "Where are you going, Darling?"
"I'm making noodles for you to eat, aren't you hungry?" Zhang Ying said crossly.
"Thank you, Darling, I'd also like a fried egg."
"Alright!"
Zhang Ying walked into the kitchen, humming a song, like a victorious general.
Chen Shaoping rubbed his forehead, secretly wiping away sweat. Fortunately, he had good judgment.
He started tidying up the sofa.
After tidying up, he plopped down on the sofa, leaning against the back.
He continued to check the intelligence.
[Today's Intelligence 2 (★★): Recently, second-generation stars are debuting in droves. Famous actor Huang Shilei, in order to pave the way for his daughter who returned from studying abroad to debut,
decided to swallow his pride and ask the Host to customize a perfectly fitting song for his daughter. His daughter, Huang Duoduo, while studying abroad, was synonymous with 'Tong-Da Express' (a euphemism for promiscuity), with various small umbrellas in her bag. Yet in China, she presents herself as a good girl next door. What's more ironic is that her major abroad was Cantonese, and she has neither singing talent nor performing aptitude.]
[Today's Intelligence 3 (★★): Hunan Province TV's hit variety show "the singer" is in preparation. Chief Director Hong Tao is looking for initial guests, and currently only one male singer has been confirmed.
Hong Tao's phone number: 135]
After reading the intelligence, Chen Shaoping's lips curled slightly. He felt it was simple and there was no pressure.
Just then, Zhang Ying walked over, carrying a bowl of fragrant noodles.
On top was a fried egg and a few chopped green onions.
It made one's appetite soar.
"Darling, eat slowly. I'm going to sleep first; I'm really a bit sleepy."
Zhang Ying placed the noodles in front of Chen Shaoping and yawned.
"Okay, Darling."
"I'll eat, brush my teeth, and then I'll sleep," Chen Shaoping replied.
As she almost reached the bedroom door, Zhang Ying turned back and said, "After you eat, just leave the bowl in the kitchen. I'll wash it tomorrow morning."
"Alright, alright!"
Twenty minutes later, Chen Shaoping also got into bed.
...
Tongxing Entertainment Company.
Zhang Hanhan and her manager, Lao Huang, were sitting in Chen Shaoping's office, both looking a bit bewildered.
This was probably the first time they had been summoned by the boss since coming to the company.
"Hanhan, after the song was released, have you been much busier?"
"Do you feel like you can return to your peak?"
Chen Shaoping asked.
"Manager Chen, it's indeed much better than before."
"I'm even thinking if we can find a way to take on some small advertisements and small events."
Zhang Hanhan's mental state indeed looked much better than before.
But Chen Shaoping felt that she still lacked confidence.
"Lao Huang, what do you think?" Chen Shaoping looked at Lao Huang.
Lao Huang's expression was serious, and his tone carried a hint of pleading, "Manager Chen, why don't you give us another song?"
"Why?" Chen Shaoping asked.
"Hanhan and I have a disagreement regarding work arrangements at this stage."
"She thinks that while there's some buzz from the song release, she should take on some gigs. Otherwise, once the buzz is over, there won't be any significant change."
"I think that if she wants to return to her peak, she shouldn't lower her status. Taking on these small events will be counterproductive."
"So, I wanted Manager Chen to give us another song to boost the popularity even further online."
Lao Huang spoke with a hint of helplessness. He could understand Zhang Hanhan's thoughts, but he couldn't support her in acting on them.
Chen Shaoping gently tapped the table with his fingers. Lao Huang and Zhang Hanhan watched him quietly, not making a sound.
"You are both too anxious and underestimate the power of the stubborn bird."
Chen Shaoping looked at the two and continued, "I agree with Lao Huang's view. Hanhan, you absolutely must not have thoughts of 'performing at bars' or similar ideas."
"Once you do that, you definitely won't be able to return to your peak."
"I will give you songs, but not now."
"Then what should we do next?" Lao Huang asked.
Chen Shaoping tore a piece of paper from the table, wrote a phone number on it, and handed it to Lao Huang.
"Lao Huang, this is the phone number of Hong Tao, the Chief Director of Hunan Province TV's 'the singer' program. Your most urgent task now is to secure a spot."
Upon hearing this, Lao Huang jumped up from his seat, his face beaming with smiles, and took the note with both hands.
"Manager Chen, don't worry, I guarantee we'll complete the mission."
"Go! You two may leave!" Chen Shaoping waved his hand.
"Okay, Manager Chen." Zhang Hanhan stood up, following closely behind Lao Huang.
"Wait a moment!"
Chen Shaoping thought for a moment and decided to give them another song anyway, so they would have more confidence when approaching Hong Tao.
"System, exchange for the song 'Invisible Wings'."
[Host successfully exchanged 1 paparazzi point for the song "Invisible Wings."]
[Host has paparazzi points: 47 points.]
After exchanging, he immediately sent it to Zhang Hanhan.
"I just sent you a song. Take it and make sure to get that spot."
"Okay. Thank you, Manager Chen!" Zhang Hanhan's face lit up with joy, and she repeatedly thanked him.
"Thank you, Manager Chen!" Lao Huang was also beaming with joy.
Chen Shaoping waved his hand, and the two happily exited.
As soon as they walked out of the office door, Zhang Hanhan couldn't wait to apologize.
"I'm sorry, Wei Ge, I shouldn't have been so anxious."
"It's alright! We'll just communicate more in the future," Lao Huang replied.
"Mhm!"
After the two left, Chen Shaoping began his own work. He logged into Shao Ping's Qingbo account.
