I Have the Halo of Overbearing President - chapter 26

President Chu definitely broke the past stereotypes and made everyone shine. The screenwriters were so full of thoughts and ideas. They found countless novel ideas because of her and immediately geared up to revise the manuscript again.

Director Han was at first afraid that President Chu wouldn’t accept the program standards, but he realized that President Chu’s standards were no standards.

Xia Xiaoxiao also had a new understanding of President Chu. In her impression, the boss was solemn and reticent, who made the secretaries and sisters frightened. She always wore a suit and looked at the documents with her back to the floor-to-ceiling windows without any expression. Everyone around was respectful and polite to President Chu. They maintained a distance from her, let alone laugh arrogantly in front of her.

The screenwriters in front of President Chu looked like screaming chickens or a group of strangely barking geese, but President Chu wasn’t unhappy and she didn’t even frown.

At the end of the interview, Director Han proposed to have dinner with Chu Chu and Xia Xiaoxiao, but Chu Chu refused, “After the show gets recorded, let’s have a celebration together.”

“Okay, well, that’s okay! Do you need me to call a car for you?” Director Han actually didn’t want to have dinner that much. The show was still in preparation and it was the time when everyone got busy.

“No, my assistant has already arranged it,” Chu Chu waved her hand and explained.

Xia Xiaoxiao was called and felt a little ashamed to hear her name. According to Wang Qing’s instructions, she contacted the driver in advance at the end of the meeting and took time to buy coffee. Xia Xiaoxiao followed President Chu out and asked in a low voice, “President Chu, would you like coffee?”

“Yes.” 

Chu Chu hadn’t noticed that her throat was dry. After thanking her, she took the coffee and took a sip.

She looked weird and asked, “Is this Chinese medicine?”

Xia Xiaoxiao said in a panic, “It’s your usual taste, double-concentrated American style, no ice and no sugar.”

It wasn’t much different from Chinese medicine. Xia Xiaoxiao was a little bit at a loss. She didn’t blame her any more and said, “Next time, add sugar to it.”

If she didn’t have sugar, she couldn’t work long hours. The original female partner’s taste was too bitter.

“Okay,” Xia Xiaoxiao responded and hurriedly wrote it down in the small notebook. She updated many of the boss’s information today.

Inside the Yinda Building.

Xia Xiaoxiao followed President Chu to return to the company safe and sound, causing the secretaries and sisters to be surprised. In the office, they circled her and asked with emotion, “Are you alright or do you lack any arms or legs?”

Xia Xiaoxiao couldn’t help but argue, weakly, ” President Chu isn’t that scary…”

Others shook their heads repeatedly, “Tsk tsk, it’s good to be a freshman. Xiaoxiao has been successfully brainwashed and was oppressed without knowing.”

Xia Xiaoxiao: “…”

She laughed when her sisters didn’t believe her. She just wanted to tell them what happened, but she opened her mouth and swallowed. She thought of Mr. Zhang’s words. There were some things that she couldn’t share with others, especially about the other side of President Chu. She sorted out the tickets and handed them to Wang Qing for reimbursement and was stopped by Zhang Jianian who was passing by.

Zhang Jianian remembered President Chu’s itinerary and stopped her, “Was President Chu well today?”

Xia Xiaoxiao opened the small notebook, reported and briefly described the program progress of “I,m the Venomous Tongued King”. 

Seeing the notebook in her hand, Zhang Jianian asked, “What is this? Is it alright for me to see it?”

Xia Xiaoxiao hesitantly handed out the small notebook and whispered, “Sir, my handwriting is rather scribble…”

Zhang Jianian had taken her little notebook. His eyes were as ink, his face was calm, he read the content at a glance, but his gaze stayed for a long time on “She likes to read domineering CEO novels”. Zhang Jianian took out his pen, looked at a few lines and corrected, “President Chu can eat spicy and seafood and she likes coriander.”

Zhang Jianian observed her at the family banquet of the Chu family mansion. Although he didn’t know why, President Chu’s eating habits had changed.

“Okay,” Xia Xiaoxiao waited for Zhang Jianian to finish his corrections and took her notebook.

Zhang Jianian looked at Xia Xiaoxiao with a smile. To tell the truth, he couldn’t see what was special about this girl. She was neither attractive nor strategic. She seemed to have nothing but was down-to-earth and kind. How did she win the boss’s favor?

He asked, “What do you think of President Chu?”

Xia Xiaoxiao stumbled, “President Chu is a very good person…”

“Then you can accompany her till she finishes recording the episode.” Zhang Jianian thought for a while and then reminded her, “Don’t talk nonsense about President Chu.”

Xia Xiaoxiao nodded. Fortunately, she didn’t talk too much in the office earlier. It was important to protect the privacy of the boss.

On the day of the rehearsal of “I’m the Venomous Tongued King”, busy editors shuttled on stage and the scene was in full swing. Chu Chu rehearsed alone and didn’t stay in the same group as other artists. Recently, Chu Chu had been getting along well with the screenwriters. Everyone found that President Chu was actually not very pretentious, far less terrifying than the rumors and even brought only one assistant.

“President Chu, please come to the stage for rehearsal,” the director knocked on the door of the small room to remind Chu Chu and then glanced at Xia Xiaoxiao, “Your assistant can take a break in the room, it won’t take much time.”

Chu Chu didn’t bring anyone else with her. She was going to the stage to rehearse and Xia Xiaoxiao was just left to watch her bag.

There were many guests in each episode of “I’m the Venomous Tongued King”. Where there were people, there were Jianghu. (the community of martial artists. Idiom m. fight for the survival) 

In the backstage, a celebrity led a team into the room to find that the big room was noisy. When Liang Ling passed through the corridor, she was quite uncomfortable with the noisy environment. Her assistant cleared the way and said, “Sister Liang, go inside.”

Liang Ling was surrounded by many people. The team was large, with assistants, makeup artists and costume artists all available, which instantly filled the corridors and attracted the attention of passers-by. As Liang Ling was a familiar face on TV, others dared not complain when they saw her pompous form.

Liang Ling took a small step into the big room. She looked around and found that there was debris piled up in front of the makeup mirror. She frowned and asked, “Is there no other room?”
