Chapter 43 Jing Tian and "Si Teng"
After leaving the restroom, Zheng Shuang's face flushed red, and she herself found it somewhat unbelievable.
"What's wrong with me? He's a scumbag, a piece of trash."
At first, Zheng Shuang was just a little unconvinced. After going in, she originally just wanted to tease him a bit, but when she actually wiped Xiao Tanglou's hands, her palms felt warm and swollen, and she became a little confused.
"This jerk is really passive, never refuses, and irresponsible."
But for some reason, recalling it gave her a strange sense of excitement.
"Am I really such a despicable woman?"
Zheng Shuang herself felt that she had some mental problems, but at the time, in the dimly lit cubicle of the private bathroom, with her eyes closed, she felt very fulfilled and enjoying herself.
"Didn't that jerk even have the slightest desire to possess me?"
The more Zheng Shuang thought about it, the more she wanted Tang Lou's approval, or rather, to feel Tang Lou's desire for her.
Thinking of Tang Lou's face and his figure... Zheng Shuang felt a pang of nostalgia.
Compared to her current boyfriend Hu Yanbing, who is so polite, so devoted, and so careful to take care of her feelings, Tang Lou doesn't even treat herself like a human being.
"Tang Lou, you beast."
"Hu Yanbing, you're not even as good as a beast."
After Zheng Shuang returned to the banquet, Hu Yanbing came over with concern.
"Didn't you want to meet Mr. Tang from Cool Cat? He's here at the banquet today too. I'll introduce you to him in a bit."
"We had a very pleasant collaboration last time on 'Produce 101'."
"I have already offered myself to Mr. Tang. In the future, I can serve as the music director for his variety shows or TV dramas, and arrange and write songs for him."
"In that case, he and I are practically on the same side. For my sake, I think he'll give you a chance."
Hu Yanbing's talent in composing and arranging music is widely recognized. He is sought after by many variety shows and film and television companies for composing and arranging music.
After Tang Lou returned from the restroom looking radiant, Yang Mi and Reba and the others had already gone to other tables to offer toasts and socialize.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Hu Yanbing brought Zheng Shuang along.
"Mr. Tang, Zheng Shuang is a very special friend of mine. She has long admired you and would very much like to have the opportunity to collaborate with you."
"Xiao Shuang, come over and toast President Tang."
Hu Yanbing led Zheng Shuang to Tang Lou.
Looking at the pure and lovely girl in front of him, how could she be the same as the two crazy and beautiful women he had seen before?
"Mr. Tang, let me toast you. Please make yourself at home."
"It's a pleasure to meet you. I wasn't well-prepared for the role of Bai Fengjiu last time, so please excuse me."
"However, my personal acting skills are still quite good, and I hope there will be opportunities for in-depth cooperation in the future."
Zheng Shuang looked at Tang Lou obediently, just as if it were the first time she was formally meeting Tang Lou.
Hu Yanbing, standing to the side, smiled. All he wanted was for Zheng Shuang to have a good career and get more opportunities.
Tang Lou looked at Zheng Shuang and clinked glasses with her.
"Don't worry, Brother Bing. For your sake, I'll take good care of Xiao Zheng."
"Last time it was indeed because of the role. I saw Xiao Zheng's acting skills and he has great potential. I hope we can have more in-depth exchanges in the future."
Tang Lou thought to himself, "You're so well-behaved in public, but a crazy bastard in private. Your acting skills in real life are legendary."
As for Hu Yanbing, according to my memories from my previous life, the two broke up in March 2016.
The relationship between the two was inherently fragile. Hu Yanbing was not very attractive and was already insecure. In addition, Zheng Shuang had an eccentric personality, so being together was already exhausting.
Therefore, Hu Yanbing was just a passerby. Besides, in the entertainment industry, where is there any pure affection? Today she's dating one person, tomorrow she's dating another; it's a tangled mess.
Tang Lou wasn't a person with any kind of mental fastidiousness, nor did he ever think about cultivating a long-term relationship.
Finding true love in the entertainment industry is like panning for gold in the dung.
Female celebrities—some can make him money, some can bring him pleasure, and some can provide him with emotional value—that's enough.
As for Zheng Shuang, as long as it can make him money, there are suitable projects we can cooperate on.
Aside from business interests, Tang Lou would definitely not pursue or be bound to a woman like Zheng Shuang in terms of any other romantic relationship.
However, if Zheng Shuang wants to play some exciting games with him, Tang Lou won't refuse.
This is, after all, one of the perks of being in the entertainment industry. As his career flourishes and his wealth increases, Tang Lou will definitely come into contact with even more female celebrities.
If they don't even dare to accept this small benefit, then they're worse than animals.
Taking this opportunity, Zheng Shuang took out her phone.
"Mr. Tang, would you mind adding me on WeChat?"
Zheng Shuang looked at Tang Lou with pleading eyes.
Hu Yanbing also chimed in with her support:
"Mr. Tang, please give Xiao Shuang some face. If there are any suitable projects in the future, you can contact me privately."
Tang Lou then added Zheng Shuang back to the list.
While Hu Yanbing turned to greet the other friends, Zheng Shuang whispered in Tang Lou's ear:
"Mr. Tang, please don't delete me this time."
"We've gotten to know each other to some extent."
Having achieved her goal, Zheng Shuang took her wine glass and walked away.
Zheng Shuang and Hu Yanbing were in the stage where Hu Yanbing was pursuing Zheng Shuang. Before that, Zheng Shuang accepted Hu Yanbing's pursuit only because she was bored and empty, and it was not bad to have someone pursuing and taking care of her.
However, now that Tang Lou is such a charming scumbag, Zheng Shuang suddenly finds the simp Hu Yanbing boring and even somewhat disgusting, and rejects him.
She and Hu Yanbing didn't spend much time together. Hu Yanbing always acted like an older brother, taking meticulous care of her and being very polite. So she maintained her image as a well-behaved girl, and there was no further development between them.
Therefore, Zheng Shuang was prepared to find any excuse to break up with Hu Yanbing.
Having worked in the entertainment industry, Zheng Shuang had long seen through Hu Yanbing's facade of deep affection, realizing that once she actually got him, it would probably just be a fling.
Therefore, compared to other types of men, she still prefers the frank and straightforward scumbag. Most importantly, Tang Lou has a good figure and looks, so Zheng Shuang doesn't feel like she's at a disadvantage.
After Zheng Shuang and Hu Yanbing left, Tang Lou also socialized with some other celebrities.
I specifically asked for the contact information of several celebrities I wanted to collaborate with in the future.
It can only be said that Huang Xiaomin really invited most of the entertainment industry this time, and Tanglou has also gained a lot this time.
This time, some young actresses also came to Tang Lou, such as Guli Nezha, Li Yitong, Li Qin, and Jing Tian.
These actresses could collaborate on a variety show or TV series in the future.
Princess Jing, in particular, is known for her "never-becoming-famous" physique. She has abundant resources, but she just can't seem to land a breakout role.
"When the right opportunity arises, we can contact Jing Tian to see if we can get 'Si Teng' approved as a project."
"Si Teng" can be said to be the peak of Jing Tian's career, and also her most popular role.
This drama was originally broadcast in 2021, and it garnered phenomenal data and influence after its release.
During its broadcast, it repeatedly topped the trending lists of mainstream media such as Maoyan and Weibo, and its Douban score remained stable at 7.9, which was considered low, which shows its reputation!
The character Si Teng is praised as a woman of wealth and elegance. With more than 80 qipao outfits, she perfectly showcases Jing Tian's elegance, intellect, and wealth.
