"Yes! Speaking of this personality..."

"Ring ring~" Duan Xian paused, helplessly picking up his phone again.

"Shishi, what's up? Want to discuss the script tonight? I'm afraid that's not possible; my agent scheduled work for me... Maybe tomorrow?

Alright! How about the Sichuan restaurant downstairs from your company then, I know you love spicy food...

Of course, every word you say is etched in my memory... Okay! See you tomorrow!"

After hanging up the phone, facing Meng Lang's peculiar gaze, Duan Xian spread his hands.

"Don't look at me like that; what's the most important thing in showbiz?

Is it looks? Acting skills? It's connections!

Do you think I enjoy these social engagements? I do it so you won't be disappointed!"

Oh, please! With your personality, you're far from being a 007, and you've thrown in a buddy of yours for nothing.

I've been disappointed with you for ages...

Meng Lang grumbled inwardly.

But Duan Xian's personality is naturally suited to this business.

"Seeing how you're thriving in showbiz now, I'm relieved."

"Hehe, it was your words that awakened me from a dream last time, helping me break through.

But speaking of thriving, it's not really due to myself."

"Hm? What do you mean?"

Duan Xian stared at Meng Lang with a strange expression.

"Brother, do you not know how powerful the backer you found for me is?

Who doesn't know Lingjing Media is backed by Wanwu Holding now?

Baiyeji is a global star enterprise now, household name, and due to the AIGC factor, even the big shots in entertainment are throwing in olive branches, eager to connect.

Oh, and recently everyone in the circle is talking about how even the Xu Group suffered a huge loss at Chairman Gao's hands, their chairman was even sent away.

They praise her as divine, with unparalleled means.

That's why I'm the only signed artist at Lingjing Media, isn't it?

A majority of these people are coming for Chairman Gao of Lingjing Media, giving me a bit more face.

I'm self-aware enough not to think I've truly become a big shot so soon in the entertainment circle."

Strictly speaking, the real estate company Duan Xian previously worked for was a subsidiary of the Xu Group.

So he naturally knows the Xu Group's status in Su City.

The new employer sending the old one packing, how could that not shock him?

That's why they say the entertainment circle is truly "your circle," the news spreads fast...

Meng Lang chuckled.

"Still, you have to work hard yourself; at most, I'm just a head-hunting agent. If you want to thank me, a few tens of thousands won't be too little, a few million won't be too much."

"Ha! Who was it just now saying they view money as dirt?"

"Don't you know I did farm work since young? Dirt is valuable to me."

"..."

They hadn't bantered for long when Duan Xian's phone rang again.

"Hello! Feifei, free, free... Of course I remember; you love Huainan cuisine! How about a trip down the Suzhou River after dinner?

Good! Never forget... Mwah~"

Meng Lang: "..."

He glanced sideways at Duan Xian.

"So... this is also a normal business engagement?"

"Ahem! Besides work, there needs to be normal social interactions too..."

Social interactions? Engagements that result in three phone calls in ten minutes?

Mr. Duan, others are socializing, you seem to be stocking up...

Looking at Mr. Duan, Meng Lang felt a bit envious.

He had only two in ten lifetimes yet often felt overwhelmed; the other had three in ten minutes and still managed beautifully...

Who is the real time management expert here?

Come to think of it, Duan Xian, in his memoir, never seemed to cause Meng Lang any worry, indicating he remained unscathed until Judgment Day.

This skill... could only be described as unprecedented...

However, for safety's sake, he still offered a reminder.

"I know you're experienced, but outside, never mention it was me who introduced you into the circle; I fear getting mobbed~"

"Crack!"

As they spoke in the living room, a bedroom door suddenly opened.

Seeing Duan Xiaoyi for the first time in ages, in baggy cartoon pajamas, scratching her messy hair, she groggily walked out of the room...

"Uh... Xiao Meng ge? You're here too?" She rubbed her eyes, only then realizing there was someone else in the living room.

"Mm! Hehe! Talking over some things with your brother."

Duan Xian glanced at his disheveled sister and then at the clock on the wall, looking helpless.

"Though it's Sunday, you're somebody with a proper job now, could you not keep regular hours normal?"

"Can't help it, worked too late last night... Ha~" Duan Xiaoyi yawned.

"Worked overtime?" Meng Lang was puzzled.

"I recall your company doesn't advocate overtime, especially on a Saturday night?"

"That's true; however, my foundation is lacking, and the recent project is in a field I've never touched before, so the only option is to secretly work overtime at home writing plans, trying not to fall behind."

Meng Lang chuckled.

"I couldn't tell, you do have quite the sense of responsibility."

"No choice; it's all because of the salary. They pay too much...

It makes me feel too guilty to slack off."

"Uh..."

Duan Xian facepalmed.

Here's you standing in front of your backer, showing such poor awareness?

"Speaking of, what were you guys talking about just now?"

"Talking about love brains!" Duan Xian responded irritably.

"Love?!"

As if triggered by a keyword, Duan Xiaoyi looked interested and plopped down beside them.

"It happens our department plans to develop a 'virtual romance game'. I'm inexperienced in this area, could you give some advice?"

"Virtual romance game?" Several question marks appeared on Meng Lang's forehead.

When did I ever set such development objectives for Lingjing Media?

Duan Xiaoyi continued, "Our team is responsible for character modeling and scene construction for one of the storyline arcs.

Since I don't know development, they assigned me a task to design character personality and behavioral modes.

The theme for this storyline is called 'My CEO Girlfriend.'

But after contemplating for several days, I still don't know what personality and behavioral mode to give this female lead..."

"Er... why did they let you design such a character?"

"I don't know either; they said this character was tailor-made for me. I've never been a CEO, how should I know what kind of personality a CEO should have..."

Duan Xiaoyi felt a headache coming on.

Unbeknownst to her, the siblings were long deemed super relationship insiders by everyone in the department, with deep backgrounds.

If not you, then who should design such a character?

Duan Xian didn't feel anything unusual, since after all, game departments often have such development requirements.

But Meng Lang thought the situation was gradually turning bizarre.

'My CEO Girlfriend'?!

Come on, we're supposedly an upright salvation organization here, how could we have such irrelevant business content?

"Just now I heard you talking about love brains...

Hey! Do you think if the CEO girlfriend had a love brain personality, would it attract more male players?" Duan Xiaoyi asked while twirling her fingers.

Duan Xian stroked his chin, "Hmm~ CEOs generally have strong personalities; pairing a love brain personality seems a bit discordant.

Now, what's generally popular is the domineering CEO persona, isn't it?"

"That's the selling point!"

Duan Xiaoyi confidently held up her finger.

"Imagine your CEO girlfriend loudly scolding and reprimanding in front of subordinates, then speaking softly at night, saying it's all for your shared future.

Purposely giving you endless tasks, then turning around and thoughtfully making you a cup of coffee.

Making you serve tea and deducting wages for various reasons, then blushing and handing you a Valentine's Day gift...

Isn't the contrast between a love brain and a domineering CEO awefully adorable?"

Meng Lang: "..."

No, I think your combination isn't of love brain and domineering CEO.

It's more like PUA mixed with workplace bullying...
