180: Have you met the CEO?

Compared to the filming progress of Zhong Wuyan, Pearl's Overbearing CEO drama had already begun filming.

The TV drama was titled "The CEO's Runaway Sweetheart."

This was the result of Ye Bai and the others discussing it for several days.

It couldn't be helped; people in this world had never seen an Overbearing CEO drama before, and the titles they suggested were all terrible.

Things like "Meeting You in Lost Memories," "Displaced Memories," or "Deep Scars."

Too cliché!

A title like "The CEO's Runaway Sweetheart" was so clear; the audience would know exactly what it was at a glance.

Oh! It's a CEO's love story.

Ye Bai went to the filming site to take a look; they were currently filming the male lead's entrance scene.

He watched with a frown for a while before shouting, "Cut!"

Everyone stopped and looked at him.

Ye Bai spoke up, "Have you ever seen a CEO?"

Before anyone understood what he meant, he continued, "What kind of CEO walks in and greets the receptionists with a smile and a nod?"

He looked at Pearl. "Do you even know what we're trying to film?"

"It's 'The Overbearing CEO Falls in Love with Me'... the female lead's story. You have to make the audience think at first sight, 'Wow! This CEO has such a strong aura, he looks so badass.'"

"Not, 'Wow, he's so down-to-earth, what a nice boss.'"

"You need to give off the feeling that he makes millions every minute, not that working at his company would be comfortable and easy to slack off."

"Understand?"

After speaking, he turned to the actor playing the male lead, Bian Jiang. "You're a wealthy man born with a silver spoon in your mouth, but you're not 'nouveau riche.' Your family has been wealthy since your great-great-great-grandfather's generation."

"You've received an elite education since childhood. Nannies and butlers revolved around you when you were young. You should naturally have a sense of aloofness, a slight touch of arrogance."

"Think about it, you can change someone's destiny with a single word, you..."

He poured out a lot of advice, but the actor seemed increasingly confused.

Ye Bai was speechless.

"Forget it, wait a moment."

Saying this, he exited the holographic space, returned to the dormitory, and looked at Vilan. "Do me a favor."

A short while later, Ye Bai brought Vilan, who had changed into a suit, to the set.

"Give him a demonstration of what an Overbearing CEO is like, just this scene."

Vilan took the script and glanced at it, a question mark appearing above his head.

But he still obediently walked to the car, waiting for someone to open the door for him, and got in.

"Action!"

The previously noisy set fell silent instantly. Everyone's eyes were focused on the closed car door.

One second, two seconds.

An attendant hurriedly pulled open the door for him.

First to enter their view was a black leather shoe stepping out, its surface so polished it almost reflected the nervous face of the attendant above it.

Next, Vilan stepped out, leaning slightly.

He stood tall and straight in a perfectly tailored dark suit without a single unnecessary wrinkle.

He didn't look around or show any extra expression; he just naturally raised his arm slightly to let the attendant quickly and gently smooth the already flat back of his suit jacket.

Throughout the whole process, Vilan's face remained expressionless.

There was no curiosity, no friendliness, and certainly no forced coolness.

He strode toward the main entrance with his long legs.

His pace wasn't fast, yet it carried an unquestionable, purposeful decisiveness.

The company executives on both sides of the red carpet bowed and greeted the CEO, but he looked straight ahead, as if these people were just part of the background scenery.

As he walked, the surrounding air seemed to grow thin and tense with his passing.

All the employees, whether pretending to be busy in the distance or standing respectfully with lowered heads nearby, followed him with their peripheral vision, not daring to breathe loudly.

Throughout the entire sequence, he didn't say a word, didn't look at anyone, and didn't even frown once.

But his presence itself was a declaration—he was the rule, he was the center.

The automatic glass doors slid open silently before him, like subjects making way for a king.

The moment he stepped into the lobby, the set, which had still had some faint noises, went completely silent. An extra playing the receptionist even forgot her lines, simply staring blankly as he walked toward the private elevator.

"Cut!"

"Great!" Pearl clapped and shouted.

Only after shouting did she suddenly realize this wasn't the actor she had hired, but a demonstration by the boss's friend.

At this moment, she had only one thought: if this drama were acted by this person...

Then the quality of this drama would definitely reach a whole new level.

Not just her; almost everyone present was stunned.

In reality, when would anyone have the chance to meet a real Overbearing CEO like Vilan?

With the comparison now, the male actor wished he could bury his head in the ground.

The difference was clear as day; next to him, the male actor looked like a tea-serving errand boy... maybe not even qualified to be an errand boy.

"Did you see that clearly?" Ye Bai said. "I don't want you to treat this drama like playing house. If that's your attitude, I advise you to leave as soon as possible."

"Because what I want is a phenomenal idol drama."

"Think it over carefully; I'll come back to check tomorrow."

After saying that, he left with Vilan.

Meanwhile, in the corner, the screenwriter February was frantically recording something as if she had been injected with chicken blood.

She felt that as soon as she saw Vilan, infinite inspiration flooded her mind.

Originally, she didn't quite understand the point of such a melodramatic drama.

But if the male lead were Vilan... she was willing!

Presumably, thousands of young girls would be willing too.

Most screenwriters or romance novelists must first believe in love themselves before they can write touching love stories.

February was starting to believe in love now. With a pounding heart, she waved her hand, inspiration rushing to her head.

When Ye Bai came to check the next day, he found the film crew had disappeared.

Ye Bai: ?

He gave Pearl a call.

On the other end, Pearl said, "Sorry boss, I forgot to tell you. We felt that our preparations might not be sufficient yet. February said she wants to revise the script, the male lead said he wants to systematically learn how to be an Overbearing CEO, the female lead went to find her 'feeling,' and I'm looking for venues. I think we might be able to do on-location filming..."

"Alright," Ye Bai hadn't expected Vilan's impact on them to be so great.

But this was a good thing; they were finally taking it seriously.

Anyway, Ye Bai felt that if they were going to film an Overbearing CEO drama, they had to do it well; why make him look like some nouveau riche?

Speaking of CEO dramas, Ye Bai felt that Shan Junhao's entrance, played by Ming Dao, was truly handsome.

But when it came to being lavish, it had to be "Romantic Princess."

The castle the female lead lived in back then had left a huge impression on a young Ye Bai.

That's what you call a female lead being taken home by a CEO and not knowing how to escape.
