149: So she's a tsundere?

Zhang Xin had prepared plenty of dirt on Cheng Yun to reveal to Chen Qiu, but her heart skipped a beat after seeing the latter's message.

"Mr. Chen doesn't seem like a man who is easy to handle, does he?"

Zhang Xin recalled her previous bold advances toward Chen Qiu, to which he had remained unmoved.

Clearly, he was not the type of man to be easily swayed by beauty.

"Could it be that Cheng Yun actually learned something real in that entertainment circle?"

Zhang Xin gritted her teeth in secret.

She deleted the malicious dirt she had prepared to send to Chen Qiu about Cheng Yun.

If Chen Qiu really had feelings for Cheng Yun, then rashly slandering the latter might lower her own standing in Chen Qiu's heart.

After a moment of thought, Zhang Xin typed a reply.

"Cheng Yun? She's always been quite yearning for the entertainment industry; her dream was to get on the big stage."

"She even resigned from her teaching position after graduation to chase her dreams."

"I heard her say that the circle isn't like our self-media industry; without backing or resource exchange, it's hard to develop."

"However, in the last two years, she met a veteran variety show director who seems to appreciate her quite a bit!"

Immediately, Zhang Xin searched for the name Feng Man on a search engine.

This woman was indeed a somewhat well-known variety show director in the entertainment industry; the first result was her biography.

However, figures in the entertainment industry are often accompanied by all sorts of juicy scandals.

The first news headline under her biography made Zhang Xin's eyes light up.

"So bold! A certain female variety show director surnamed Feng was filmed kissing a program guest; industry insiders expose her 'variety show concubine selection'!"

Zhang Xin had been worrying about how to warn Chen Qiu, and after seeing this headline, she excitedly took a screenshot.

The main part of the screenshot looked like Feng Man's biography, but as long as one looked slightly down, they could see this explosive headline!

She hurriedly sent the screenshot over.

"It's this one; apparently, she's quite famous in the variety show circle!"

On the other side.

Chen Qiu looked at the messages Zhang Xin kept sending.

When he saw that final screenshot, he froze instantly.

Looking at the news headline, Chen Qiu recalled the female voice he had heard earlier in Cheng Yun's earphone, and his expression turned strange.

"So that wasn't a strategist..."

"It really was a 'master's task'... and it's lesbian stuff?"

This method of remotely controlling a woman to seduce a man on a blind date was still too advanced for Chen Qiu.

"Is she that confident? Isn't she afraid of Cheng Yun being poached by me?"

Chen Qiu glanced at Cheng Yun, who was sitting not far away waiting, and clicked his tongue in wonder!

It could only be said...

"Truly worthy of being in the entertainment industry; they play so wildly!"

Compared to the variety show director in the domestic entertainment scene, Chen Qiu felt this Feng Man was more suited for the Japanese entertainment industry.

There, her talents would likely be able to be displayed to the fullest.

"Your two popcorns and colas!"

"Thanks."

After buying the popcorn, Chen Qiu walked toward Cheng Yun while contemplating his next countermeasure.

Now that he knew what Cheng Yun dreamed of, Chen Qiu was 80-90% sure about the reward for this blind date.

Holding the popcorn, he returned to Cheng Yun's side; she was currently typing away.

Chen Qiu glanced at it and vaguely saw a familiar avatar; his eyebrows twitched slightly.

Zhang Xin?

"Tickets are collected, let's go in."

Chen Qiu's voice reached Cheng Yun's ears, and her body visibly trembled.

"Sorry, did I scare you?"

Cheng Yun quickly put away her phone and forced a smile.

"It's okay, I'll take it myself!"

She hurriedly stood up and took the popcorn and cola from Chen Qiu, feeling a lingering fear in her heart.

Good thing she hadn't been talking to Feng Man just now.

If that had been exposed, everything would have been over.

However...

"He shouldn't have seen my chat with Zhang Xin, right?"

Cheng Yun walked by Chen Qiu's side, thinking with some unease.

Ever since she learned of Chen Qiu's identity, she didn't quite know what attitude to take toward him.

"Hall 5, it's here."

The two walked in; this was a couple's hall.

Besides being smaller than a regular theater hall, the seats in the couple's hall were small booths connected in pairs.

There were no obstructive armrests in the middle, allowing couples to watch movies in any position.

Chen Qiu and Cheng Yun took their seats; their spots were in the corner of the last row.

The location Cheng Yun picked clearly wasn't for properly watching a movie.

Before sitting down, Chen Qiu carefully checked the seat cushion; seeing no "leftover combat residue," he sat down with peace of mind.

Although the couple's seats were for two, the space wasn't exactly spacious for two people.

Unless they leaned as far as possible to each side, physical contact was unavoidable.

And as soon as Chen Qiu sat down, he realized that half of Cheng Yun's body was leaning against his side.

Seeing that Cheng Yun seemed to be about to make another move, Chen Qiu spoke softly.

"I didn't expect such a coincidence that you and Zhang Xin are college classmates."

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Qiu noticed Cheng Yun's body suddenly stiffen.

"Z-Zhang Xin..."

"Did she tell you anything?"

Cheng Yun's eyes darted around; her already nervous heart was pounding.

It's over!

She and Zhang Xin had never seen eye to eye!

That woman saw her with Chen Qiu; she must be trying to stir up trouble!

"She didn't tell Chen Qiu everything, did she?"

"I should have chosen a lounge bar!"

Just as Cheng Yun was feeling extremely agitated, Chen Qiu said calmly.

"She didn't say anything; I just asked about your preferences."

Having said that, Chen Qiu even showed Cheng Yun his chat history with Zhang Xin.

Cheng Yun took a rough look and was shocked.

She really hadn't spoken ill of her!

What's up with that woman Zhang Xin? Did she have a change of heart?

Or perhaps, is she actually a tsundere who is sharp-tongued on the surface but secretly cares about me?

Unaccountably, Cheng Yun even felt a bit guilty!

Over the years, she hadn't slandered Zhang Xin any less behind her back.

The latter, however, hadn't slandered her at such a critical moment.

It was she who had judged a gentleman with a villain's heart!

"I have to treat Zhang Xin to a meal later!"

Cheng Yun thought to herself.

After brewing for a moment, she spoke with a bit of genuine sincerity.

"Mr. Chen, do you think this is a bit unrealistic..."

"Not at all."

"Everyone has the right to pursue their dreams."

"Besides, this is actually quite easy to achieve!"

Cheng Yun's heart instantly began to pound.
