45 - Chapter Forty-Five



    On the day of the audition for Republic Dreams, Meng Chu and Li Lemon arrived at the audition set early.

    The audition set had a special place for them, and there was a thick stack of resumes on the table.

    Meng Chu wanted to let Li Shu follow the same path as before, she asked if the system knew which was the hero and heroine of the previous "Republican Dream".

    System: "The relationship between the main man and woman is about to collapse, and you still ask me who is the main man and woman of "Republican Dreams", woah woah woah woah woah."

    The strong system is sad.

    Female match Meng Chu: "???"

    Meng Chu hesitated, "You're not trying to dump it, which of my scenes isn't in place you say."

    With fear and trepidation for more than twenty years, Meng Chu doubted she could take the best actress award, every actress' part even if she didn't act well, she would find a way to round it back out.

    System: "You quickly let them get married ah!"

    When it comes to the issue of getting Chen Zinfeng married to He Xiu, Meng Chu is still very confident, she wanted to open her mouth before she reacted: "Collapse, their emotional line collapsed?"

    She was a little sad: "You said that their emotional line collapsed, I'm a female partner's pay is nothing!"

    System: ""She also grieves on.

    Li Shu comes in, tied up: "Miss Meng."

    Meng Chu: "Can we start?"

    Li Shu: "No, many good seedlings didn't come over today," the rest of the sentence speaks for itself.

    Meng Chu's Shining Entertainment's status in the entertainment industry is not that high.

    Meng Chu laughed, "They can still cover the sky with just one hand, so that we can't even find a suitable man or woman?" She flipped through the resume in front of her, "Audition first."

    Lemon spoke up and asked, "What are your criteria for men and women?"

    Li Shu: "The male face value must be online, to be proud, to be arrogant. The woman's face value must be god face, to bone permeate the domineering, I know it is not easy to find, can lower the requirements."

    Not every director can find someone who fits his heart to play the lead role.

    Meng Chu also felt that it was not easy to find a person who could swish away a large number of actors with only face value, she said, "Let's audition first."

    After a busy two to three hours, all the actors who came to the audition were auditioned and none of them met the requirements, but there were a few with good face value, but unfortunately not enough acting skills.

    After the end of the audition, Li Lemon face all ugly, handed over resume, several in the entertainment industry more famous hot, did not come over.

    Meng Chu asked Li Shu: "Which do you think, looking at the entertainment industry, is suitable for your drama?"

    Li Shu took a deep breath and he said, "Miss Meng, you are giving me a few days."

    !   A few days later, Meng Chu received a call from Li Shu, who sounded more excited than ever.

    Li Shu: "Miss Meng, I've found the right candidate, the male lead of my drama was literally written for him!"

    Meng Chu was happy, Li Shu's pressure and state Meng Chu was able to feel, now he found the right actor, all of a sudden seemed to release some pressure, after all, drama and actor are complementary, mutual achievement, find the right actor is a step to success of the film and television drama.

    Meng Chu asked, "Who?"

    The first time I was in the room, I thought I'd see you in the morning, but I didn't see you there.

    Li Shu: "Miss Meng, I watched the Junior Transformation Program yesterday, there is one called Meng Guang, he entered the crew, he didn't even have to act ah, that kind of posture, is the posture that my main man usually acted out, and also most of the posture he presented in the drama!"

    Mengchu: "

    Knock, you've got a crush on Meng Guang!

    Li Shu: "Miss Meng, be sure to invite him to be the male lead in the TV series, I even searched for information on him, he seems to have aspirations of moving into the entertainment industry!"

    He didn't know that Meng Guang was Meng Chu's brother, and although he had previously published in the newspaper to dissolve his relationship with Meng Jian, he only briefly had a name in the public's heart.

    Li Shu: "Miss Meng, I'll send you the reality show that he participated in, if possible, I also want to meet Meng Guang's sister who threatened him to dislocate his arm if he didn't participate in the show. Meng Guang's face value is high, his sister's face value shouldn't be bad either, I think it's quite overbearing, it just so happens that the man and woman in this show are brother and sister, I want to see if her sister is suitable."

    After waiting for half a day, Li Shu didn't wait for Meng Chu to speak, Li Shu asked, "Miss Meng?"

    Meng Chu: "It's me."

    Li Shu: "What is you?"

    Mengchu: "The sister who threatened to dislocate his arm by not participating is me."

    Li Shu: "That,"

    Meng Chu replied: "It's fine, you fancy him as your male number one, it's his skill, I'll help you contact him."

    Even if Meng Chu doesn't say it, there are people online who know who Meng Guang is, netizens have shouted 666 for Meng Chu's threat to dislocate Meng Guang's arm if he doesn't participate in the show, which is too Meng Chu.

    With the appearance of Meng Guang on the Internet, Meng family those things became a hot topic of discussion.

    The Meng family's patriarchy was simply melted into the bones, and Meng Jian let no one scold him online. At first, Meng Jian who only found people around him praising Meng Chu, after the show Meng Guang participated in aired many people were accusing him of what he did, it felt like the people around him had changed their eyes on him, and he actually felt that he had! Some humiliation.

    When he got home, Meng Jian just wanted to lose his temper, he saw his wife, Zhou Mian, who has always been soft-tempered, took a paper divorce agreement to him, and Meng Jian's heart was directly empty.

    The three children two dissolved relations with him, a roll of money to escape, is now his wife also want to divorce himself?

    Meng Jian: "I'm still not doing this for the Meng family, what are you all doing, one by one!"

    Meng Jian was not feeling good: "If it wasn't Meng Chu"

    Zhou Mian summoned the courage to smash the divorce agreement over: "The entire Meng family is given to you, the entire Meng family you've said forget it, you're a man, you support your Meng family well."

    Going out from Meng's house, Zhou Mian didn't go to look for Meng Chu, she went to her own apartment and called her friend who runs her own clothing design company again.

    "What? You want to come to our clothing company as a designer, no, you don't have to come to work, how troublesome would that be, just draw the design and give it to me again, I told you a long time ago that you have a talent for design. But how did you figure it out?"

    The point is, her children, all of them are separated from the Meng family, so what is she still staying in the Meng family for.

    ---

    Li Shu insisted on using Meng Guang as the male number one, even if Meng Guang had already entered the male team selection, he still had to wait, because Meng Guang was simply too suitable no matter his appearance or personality, as for wanting to use Meng Guang's sister as the female number one, he couldn't even think about it.

    Because of Li Shu's insistence, Meng Chu went to the training camp where Meng Guang participated in the male group selection the next day, because this kind of training camp was completely closed, Meng Chu also asked Vice President Tang to help himself to contact in advance, and there very readily agreed, but very politely asked Meng Chu if he could be in the camera, and Meng Chu agreed.

    When Meng Chu arrived outside the training camp practice room, he heard noisy sounds inside, like a fight.

    A boy shouted, "What did I say wrong, I'll just say that Meng Guang's sister is Meng Chu, and he's mad that he asked his sister to teach us, and we weren't able to perform the track better!?"

    Mengchu raised his eyebrows, he pushed the door open and saw the scene inside the practice room.

    It was still the same voice from just now, "Sorry, I, how did I forget. How could Meng Chu help Meng Guang, their sister and brother relationship, I heard that the Meng family has been exploiting Meng Chu, sorry sorry, can you cut this part of the teacher?"

    The slender young man looked furious as he pulled his earpiece towards the opposite side and hit him, and soon the two men were wrestling with each other.

    Let Meng Chu fight! The man who beat him shouted, "Meng Guang, don't go too far, I'm not your sister, I won't be like your sister who took so many years to figure it out, your Meng family owes Meng Chu and still won't let me say ah! You're so excited, you must not have squeezed your sister any less!"

    Meng Guang: "Worried that I'll steal your c-position isn't it, let me tell you, at your level, it's not me and it can't be you!" He went straight for the face, and the people around him had a hard time ripping Meng Kuang away.

    Some people were shocked when they saw Meng Chuan, "Meng Chuan?"

    Everyone's eyes all looked at Meng Chu, and the one who made Meng Guang hit moved his eyes and ran towards Meng Chu, giving Meng Chu a curtsy and apology, "Sister Meng Chu, I'm sorry, I'm your fan, I didn't want to talk about these things, I was just grieving for you, I couldn't hold back!"

    Meng Guang's hands hanging at his sides were clenched into fists, he walked step by step towards Meng Chu, he looked around at the cameras, this part would definitely be aired right, he was already making a lot of viewers dislike his identity, especially Meng Chu's fans, now Meng Chu was saying something, then he would probably be eliminated in the first match right.

    Stopping in front of Meng Chu, Meng Guang still maintained his arrogant appearance and even showed a provocative smile towards the man who had confessed to Meng Chu.

    Meng Chu finally understood why Li Shu was interested in Meng Guang to play the male lead.

    Meng Chu: "Say a word to me about gender equality."

    "Can't say it?"

    "No, I can tell, men and women are equal."

    "Then what do you think the sister is for?"

    If it wasn't for Zhou Mian and the thought that Meng Guang could break it up, Meng Chu didn't bother to pay attention to him, she looked straight into Meng Guang's eyes and waited for Meng Guang's answer.

    What does a sister do?

    This problem Meng Jian had told him many times, it was to help him better take charge of the Meng family, whether it was marriage or paying for him, it was only right, because they were girls and he was a boy. But he couldn't say it when he was facing the current Meng Chu.

    If he gave the Meng family to Meng Chu, Meng Chu would do better than him, even if he left the Meng family to fight on his own.

    Meng Guang: "I don't know."

    Mengchu: "Progress."

    A drag over the one who fought with Meng Guang, Meng Chu's eyes were slightly cold and his tone was laughing: "Want to c-debut ah? That's based on skill, not provoking the anger of everyone, provoking the anger of my fans so that they target Meng Guang, you'll be able to C-debut, you can get out with your kind of character."

    After saying that, he pushed him away and said to the staff on the side, "Let's talk about the investment and the matter of getting him out of the match."

    !    "You're a voodoo maniac right!"

    "Huh?"

    "You're the Fudi Demon, the Meng family has done that to you, and you're still targeting me, a fan for your own good, for Meng Guang!"

    Meng Guang was shocked, "You're crazy! If Meng Chu were a Fudi Demon, I can you form a group to go out, I'm still the young master of the Meng family, you won't even have the chance to know me!" When he finished, he was serious: "Meng Chu, you don't need to worry about me, I'm sure I can c-debut, I have strength, I can sing and dance, unlike you who can only sing."

    Mengguang: "

    Meng Chu, who had wanted to have a good talk with Meng Guang, directly smashed the contract for the male lead of Republic of Dreams to Meng Guang: "Li Shu is interested in you as the male lead, just sign it, if you don't I'll make you dislocate your arm!"

    Meng Guang: "What? TV drama man, I"

    Meng Chu: "I'll count to three."

    That night, Meng Guang changed his dorm room, he didn't continue to live in the same dorm room with his previous team members, the program team didn't make it difficult for Meng Guang in the end.

    Meng Guang couldn't sleep, he didn't know what the significance of his sister was, but he knew that her significance was definitely not what Meng Jian said it was.

    When participating in the auditions, the contestants' cell phones were confiscated, but Meng Guang himself hid his cell phone, as well as many of its participating contestants.

    Meng Guang took the phone and sent a message to Zhou Mian.

    [Mengguang: What is the meaning of sister?]

    Zhou Mian who received this text message was drawing designs, she didn't learn it professionally, she was self-taught, she would learn it on her own when she had nothing to do in the Meng family, but because she was extremely talented, her designs were great key was very innovative.

    She froze at the text message that Meng Guang sent to her, she didn't discipline this son much, most of them were disciplined by Meng Jian, and his son had questions, but he never went to ask Meng Jian.

    For a while, Zhou Mian replied to Meng Guang's message.

    [Zhou Mian: It's the one you need to protect each other.]

    ---

    Li Lemon knew about having Meng Guang be the man, and was surprised that she couldn't say anything: "That little tyrant, it's okay to have him be the man, right?"

    After thinking about it, Meng Chu said, "It's changed a lot, so it should be fine, and besides, it's not all signed contracts. Li Shu's side said it's just missing the female number one now, he's still choosing, and then he's just waiting for it to start."

    "I thought Li Shu said he was attracted to you, but didn't dare to tell you."

    "No! Consider, act enough."

    "What do you mean, enough acting?"

    "It's fine, I don't like drills."

    Li Lemon didn't ask much, if you don't like it then don't drill, it's a simple thing in her case, she said, "Do you want to come with me to pick up my brother, my brother is coming back."

    Lemon Lee's birthday is coming up.

    Li Lemon's birthday is going to be a cocktail party, after she finished, she didn't forget to give Meng Chu an invitation, then she took the invitation to Lu Gaofei, and Lu Jingan's invitation, she left the invitation inside the bar, and asked Lu Gaofei to wait until Lu Jingan came over to help give Lu Jingan.

    Meng Chu's eyes fell on the invitation card that Li Lemon gave to Lu Jing'an, he will be embarrassed to give a gift to Li Lemon, after all, it's a very ordinary person, and he can't buy cheap gifts to Li Lemon's birthday party.

    Meng Chu: "I'm going back first."

    Meng Chu: "No more singing."

    When Meng Chu went back, Lu Gaofei looked at Li Lemon's birthday party invitation, he asked: "What do you think is a better gift for me?"

    Li Lemon: "If you don't know, you still think that you're going to discuss with me what to get Mengchu for her birthday."

    Lu Gaofei: "I'm not asking you directly, don't buy something that you don't need."

    Li Lemon's birthday party can definitely receive a lot of gifts, a lot of gifts she really does not need, hearing Lu Gaofei ask, she does feel quite happy, after all, a lot of people attending her birthday party to give her gifts really do not consider whether she needs it or not, consider whether she needs it or not, is really treating her as a friend.

    Li Lemon: "Then send me a camera."

    Lu Gaofei: "Okay."

    --.

    When Lu Jingan received Meng Chu's invitation call, it felt like fireworks had exploded in his heart.

    Was it because he had signed that agreement before, Meng Chu already thought of himself as a future husband, just like he thought of Meng Chu as a future wife.

    Meng Chu: "Lu Jingan, are you listening again, take a stroll with me."

    Lu Jingan: "Okay, I'll come to you now."

    Hanging up the phone, Lu Jingan looked at Assistant Li: "She asked me to go shopping with her."

    Assistant Li: "Well, that Mr. Lu, I don't know."

    He didn't know what Meng Chu meant by asking their Lu to go shopping, after all, he really couldn't make it up.

    !   Lu Jingan didn't care what Assistant Li was saying, shopping with Meng Chu, he was willing to buy all the shopping malls for Meng Chu, only when he went to get his wallet, he suddenly remembered that he was an ordinary person!?

    That's right, he's an ordinary person now, Meng Chu is a little rich woman in everyone's eyes, he eats and wears well and uses a lot of luxuries, so what can he buy for Meng Chu?

    Lu Jingan's excited heart instantly calmed down.

    Assistant Li gritted her teeth, "Mr. Lu, Miss Meng might mean that she wants to go on a date with you!"

    Lu Jingan was very sensible: "Assistant Li, you're more realistic."

    Assistant Li: "??"

    Sorry, he asked for a pay rise.

    Their boss is really too hard to serve since he likes Meng Chu.

    The corner of Lu Jingan's mouth is a faint smile: "I think, she has me in her heart, if she didn't have me in her heart, why wouldn't she ask someone else to go shopping with her."

    Assistant Li: "You or Lu is thinking right, Mr. Lu."

    ---

    Lu Jingan arrived at the mall and saw Meng Chu waiting for him, he quickly stepped forward to greet Meng Chu, because whether this was a date with Meng Chu or not, this was the first time he was alone with Meng Chu and asked her out.

    Meng Chu: "It's Li Lemon's birthday in a few days, I came to buy a gift for Li Lemon, it just so happens that she also prepared an invitation for you, let's buy it together."

    Buy a gift for Li Lemon together?

    It was the two of them that were going to give Lemon a gift together, it wasn't a birthday party for an already married couple.

    No, it's only right that he keep his sanity and be realistic!

    If Chunchu would have gone on a date with him and bought a gift for Li Lemon with him, they would have been together long ago.

    Sure enough, in the next second, Lu Jingan heard Meng Chu asked, "Just right, let's pick out a gift together."

    Lu Jingan had this realization, and that was because of the conversation with Lu Guo.

    Lu Guo talked to Lu Jingan after he said he was going to get married in ten years, and the evening was free to get bored with Jiang Yu, his own son after all.

    The conversation between the two men is as follows.

    "You're getting married after ten years, what's going on?"

    "I like a girl and she says she'll wait ten years before she considers marriage."

    "Hahahahahahaha, is not! It's too embarrassed to turn you down, so I made up a reason."

    "No, I also feel like she likes me."

    "Son, be sensible and realistic, she likes you and won't make you wait ten years."

    "She's hurt and doesn't want to get married for now."

    Meng Chu had it all figured out, later she helped Lu Jingan with the checkout, the two of them went into the mall together, Meng Chu walked towards the jewelry counter, Lu Jingan followed behind Meng Chu.

    When she got to the jewelry counter, Meng Chu began to pick out a necklace for Li Lemon, she had already said hello to the counter side, the counter staff smiled and said: "We have the second one here at half price, for an activity."

    Meng Chu: "Lu Jing'an, pick one together."

    Lu Jingan looked at the jewelry inside the counter, forgetting his identity as an ordinary person, he looked at a diamond earring with a price tag of over 200,000 and said: "I think this diamond earring"

    Lu Jingan gulped, how did he forget to act an ordinary person, he said, "This diamond earring is too expensive."

    These diamond earrings are really beautiful, Meng Chu wanted to buy them for Li Lemon, but Lu Jingan said such words, Meng Chu took care of his pride, smiled and continued to pick something else.

    Lu Jingan at this time does not understand Meng Chu's mind is stupid, he pursed his lips and smiled, and finally chose a small diamond earrings more than 10,000, Meng Chu also chose a pair of diamond earrings, but more than ten times more expensive than what Lu Jingan picked.

    At the checkout, Lu Jingan handed over his bank card before Meng Chu.

    Meng Chu: "No, I'll do it, they have a discount on the second one at the counter."

    Lu Jingan took Meng Chu's bank card, he placed it in his palm and stared into Meng Chu's eyes: "I'm ordinary, but not that ordinary, so you don't have to worry about me." The smile inside his eyes grew thicker and thicker: "But, if you're worried about me, does that mean that you like me a little bit?"

    Mengchu seriously: "Mr. Lu, this is too much for you. I don't care if you're ordinary or not, whether you have money or not, because I have money."

    Because Meng Chu had already agreed with the counter staff that the discount was fake, so she definitely couldn't let Lu Jingan check out, she handed over her bank card, and the counter staff took it and returned Lu Jingan's bank card to Lu Jingan.

    Meng Chu: "Mr. Lu, I can just check out."

    Lu Jing'an:"

    So tempted to buy the mall for Monchu ah, common man status affects his pursuit of a wife.
