Chapter 150: Planner Chu’s Helplessness

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The show’s main storyline is clear and orderly, fun and funny, and the final puzzle is interconnected.

The general direction was impeccable, and in the details, the members’ variety sense was on a higher level than any previous season.

Especially the outstanding performance of the two newcomers, it was like icing on the cake.

In short, Chen Che was full of confidence in the show and the production team was also impressed.

Chen Che’s status rose steadily. He tried his best to become the core member of the show.

They trusted his planning skills and saw him as a bridge between on-screen and behind the scenes.

“What a coincidence. Are you guys going back to the capital too?”

The next morning, Chen Che prepared to go to the capital in advance.

Tomorrow was the day they set off from the airport. The voting results were about to be announced.

The official start of the recording was the 22nd. The boarding time was set to be 18:00 on the 21st.

At this moment, Chen Che had already informed the director and Chu Zhengfei that everything had been arranged.

Just as he was packing his luggage and leaving, Chen Che saw Brother Liu and Lin Xi dragging their luggage.

Lin Xi was wearing a mask, and Brother Liu was holding her luggage.

Chen Che did not have this habit. Not many people knew him now.

He didn’t like to play with his phone even more. He only used it to make calls and wasn’t addicted to games, farming likes, or other entertainment.

The most fundamental reason was that he felt that the screen was too small.

“Go and think about it too…”

The lazy Brother Liu and Lin Xi looked at each other and smiled, shaking their heads helplessly.

Chen Che greeted her perfunctorily and focused on waiting for the elevator.

The production team knew very well that Lin Xi still had to fight hard for the role on “The Legend of Consort Li”.

Although she had not finished filming, as long as she did not record “Let’s Go”, she would throw herself into the filming world.

Everyone took the same elevator and took different taxis to the same airport and boarded the same plane. They all sat in first class and sat next to each other.

The corners of Lin Xi’s lips curled up as if she was smiling.

Chen Che sighed. “If I had known, I would have changed the contract.”

Brother Liu carefully arranged Lin Xi’s personal luggage, but Lin Xi said mischievously, “You can sign now too.”

Chen Che shook his head. “When I take off later, I’ll jump down and be done with it.”

After Brother Liu made the arrangements, he frowned and pushed Lin Xi to the other side while he sat in the middle.

Lin Xi smiled and took out her phone to play. Chen Che put on his earphones and listened to music, facing Brother Liu across the aisle.

“Hmph.”

Chen Che did not mind. In any case, he would be reimbursed.

Chen Che felt Brother Liu’s gaze and thought that he was quite satisfied. After all, after being “chased” away by Lin Xi last night, he was already quite “polite” to him today.

Even though this gaze made him very uncomfortable.

In fact, Chen Che’s back really hurt.

“That’s enough…”

Chen Che really could not stand the feeling of being stared at.

When she took off her earphones, Lin Xi seemed to have realized it and gently touched Brother Liu.

However, Brother Liu was still staring at Chen Che with a smug smile in his eyes.

“Can you not be so melodramatic?”

Chen Che looked at Brother Liu. “You’ve been targeting me. Such an agent won’t even survive an episode in a movie or drama. Can you not be so scheming in reality?”

Brother Liu nodded. “Isn’t this reality? It’s reasonable actions.”

Chen Che sighed. “Why don’t you find your company to teach me a lesson? Look at you now with such a popular artiste. Don’t you have an assistant or something?”

Lin Xi looked around, her expression filled with emotion. “Don’t tell me you guys quarreled on the plane too?”

Brother Liu looked at Lin Xi helplessly. “I can’t beat him.”

Lin Xi couldn’t help but laugh. “You finally recognize it?”

Chen Che looked at Brother Liu calmly. “So, you still want your company to teach me a lesson? I’m looking forward to it.”

Brother Liu shook his head mockingly. “Do I need to ask the company to teach you a lesson?”

He pointed at Chen Che. “You’re only showing off in front of our Little Xi. How many times have you been chased away outside? Why didn’t you trick those people into bed?”

Lin Xi looked at Chen Che in surprise. Seeing that he was not surprised, she knew that Brother Liu was not lying.

He had been chased away from productions?

There were actually two more times?

Moreover, she was a female artiste.

Chen Che frowned at Brother Liu. “Why are you so well-informed?”

Brother Liu said bluntly, “You don’t dare to kick her? Because that person is so popular, and her boyfriend is even more popular. You’re lucky that you snatched his role, but even your company ignored you after that. In the end, both invitations were ruined, right?”

Chen Che smiled indifferently. “It’s enough as long as I can stay on ‘Let’s Go’.”

Brother Liu sneered and said, “Didn’t you also rely on your interaction with our Little Xi to obtain this opportunity? Don’t think that Director Zhang Enyi can really protect you or Zhao Chao can let you stay using his connections.”

Chen Che nodded. “Just wait and see.”

Then, Chen Che simply put on his earphones and fell asleep, ignoring the ear-piercing sound behind him.

Even though his heart felt like it was being stabbed in the back and he was in so much pain that he wanted to die.

However, for the rest of the time, other than the chattering behind him, no one disturbed him.

“I’m flying direct tonight at about 8:00.”

After getting off the plane, they went their separate ways. Before they left, Chen Che suddenly gestured to Brother Liu.

Brother Liu was stunned and frowned at him. “You want me to book a plane ticket for you? Or do you want to go back together?”

Lin Xi’s intuition told her that Chen Che did not mean that.

As expected, Chen Che looked at Brother Liu sincerely and said, “I just want you to reschedule the flight. You can work the morning or evening shifts, but don’t coincide with me again.”

With that, Chen Che left, leaving Brother Liu sneering and Lin Xi barely suppressing her laughter.

“You’re laughing?”

Brother Liu glared at Chen Che’s back as he disappeared into the distance. He glanced at Lin Xi and frowned as he reprimanded her.

Lin Xi put on a mask. “Since you’re too embarrassed to go back and let the company teach him a lesson, don’t provoke him anymore. You can’t take advantage of him at all, and he won’t hold it against you.”

Brother Liu said disdainfully, “I can’t be bothered with him.”

With that, he gestured for Lin Xi to follow. Lin Xi hesitated for a moment, as if she had something else to ask.

“Chen Che!”

“Producer Chu.”

After parting, Chen Che was picked up by Chu Zhengfei’s assistant and returned to the office building.

After meeting, Chu Zhengfei kindly invited Chen Che to sit down and handed him drinks and other things.

After the assistant left, Chu Zhengfei looked a little troubled.

“There’s no need to do that.” Chen Che said bluntly, “I can understand.”

Chu Zhengfei sighed. “Forget about Gong Wanqing. Her manager didn’t really support boycotting you in ‘Flower Boys’. However, Gong Wanqing might have told Qu Feng later that Qu Feng was once the tour guide for the first season. At that time, he was so popular and I was only the chief screenwriter and specially invited him to participate. I didn’t expect him to agree and give him a lot of support. This time, he called me personally and hinted that he hoped to give him face.”

Chen Che nodded. “I understand. Of course I have to give you face.”

Chu Zhengfei could not bear to see Chen Che being so sincere and polite.

In fact, she had observed Chen Che’s performance on the show and realized that his variety sense, ability, talent in designing plots, appearance, and looks made her very satisfied. Moreover, he was only 27 years old and was not considered old. She really wanted to keep him.

However, his beautiful dream was ultimately shattered by cruel reality..
