My girlfriend is from the future!

Suspicion creates estrangement, secrets bring people closer together, and desire follows like a shadow. Only common interests can make two people, who had their own ulterior motives in the last second, become colluder with each other.

Although He Tianran still didn't know what Yu Naoqiu was planning, he didn't need to think too deeply about it, because the current "He Tianran" knew too well what kind of person he was, or, he understood too well the meaning behind his name...

Whatever you ask for, I can give it to you. Among the younger generation in Hong Kong City, you will not find a more suitable trading partner than He Tianran.

And this is the only message he wants to convey to Yu Naoqiu, and it is enough.

While he was thinking, the man had returned to the door of the conference room again. He pushed the door open with one hand and stepped in.

The space that was originally filled with voices of controversy and discussion suddenly became quiet. Everyone looked at the young man who was still casual and youthful a moment ago, now dressed in a neat suit. In his quiet and silent eyes, the calmness that the young man deliberately pretended to have had been replaced by the indifference and alienation that only belonged to mature men.

"You guys continue."

The words of suggestion were spoken, but no one said anything, because everyone knew very well that any method they discussed and concluded would be useless if it was not approved by this man.

Everyone's eyes followed the man's moving figure and slowly settled on him. The purple spot on his neck, which symbolized ambiguity, was really conspicuous.

A guest came and left for half an hour. When he came back, he had changed his clothes and had a "strawberry" on his neck. When people thought about He Tianran's appearance when he left in a hurry, all these details intertwined together, it was inevitable that they would have a lot of imagination.

This kiss mark was certainly not the result of He Tianran’s overwhelming charm causing Yu Naoqiu to be so infatuated that he could not control himself.

We are all smart people. It is impossible for Yu Naoqiu to let He Tianran tease him for no reason and then give him a "gift".

Now all the executives in the conference room know that Master He had had intimate behavior with the psychologist who had just visited. Even Bai Wenyu noticed it. In time, the identity of the Yu family's daughter will come to light. This is what Yu Naoqiu said "very important" and "the truth", as well as a "pledge of allegiance" after the two of them expressed their desires together.

He Tianran can certainly have infinite fantasies about his desires, but if he wants to realize these desires and recruit others to join him, then not everyone can fulfill his fantasy.

Therefore, this kiss mark was also a test that Yu Naoqiu imposed on He Tianran.

Bai Wenyu glared at his son fiercely, but He Tianran turned a blind eye, as if he had not noticed the changes in himself at all. Seeing everyone looking at him, he calmly started the conversation:

"Where did you talk about?"

"Ah... we were just talking about the guests who will be joining from the fourth episode onwards."

Xiang Kui reacted, withdrew his gaze from He Tianran's face, and hurriedly fiddled with the meeting minutes at hand before answering.

"Before I left, weren't you still discussing the lack of chemistry among the members? How did you solve it? Did you skip it?"

"It's just that the chemistry among the guest team is not good enough, so we hope that the addition of new members will bring new changes to the program team. After all, the new guests haven't participated in the program yet. Telling them some situations and requirements in advance will also make it easier to control during recording."

He Tianran nodded and asked:

"This is indeed a solution, but many of the artists who will appear in the show are just flying guests, recording one or two episodes and then leaving. Even if there is an effect, what will happen to the show in the future?"

"I have considered it."

Bai Wenyu on the side gave a brief summary:
"In the next few episodes, Director Xiang will write some more detailed scripts for us. It's hard to say about other guests, but those from the company here will fully cooperate. In addition, I will invite Lingye to the next episode. If the effect is good, she will be a permanent resident. If she is not compatible with this project, she will be a flying guest for one episode. Lala's popularity is not bad either."

Fortunately, the current He Tianran has inherited all the memories of the "boy" personality, and has gained a general understanding of the company's situation and business in the past half month. He knows that Bai Lingye is now the company's most popular artist and the only first-line star, but she has been discussing contract renewal recently, and her schedule has been arranged very cautiously. This is also the reason why the company did not consider her for the variety show in the first place.

From this we can see that now that Bai Wenyu has called Bai Lingye over, it is really a matter of putting out a fire.

"But from the perspective of the program mechanism, we are still missing a male guest."

Xiang Kui took over the conversation and said that in the final segment of the variety show, men and women are paired up, so if there is one extra woman, there must be a man. If there is an odd number, the remaining people will be very embarrassed. After all, the purpose of the program in the beginning was to create a "dating variety show". Even though it is now selling dog meat under the guise of sheep meat, some mechanisms are still there. If this kind of segment is not used to touch the edge, the program will not be popular now.

He Tianran asked: "Is there anyone who can choose?"

Xiang Kui said with difficulty: "Teacher Lingye has just been confirmed, and the schedules of the flying guests for the next few episodes have been confirmed long ago. Whether it is adjusted later or found now, it is quite uncertain. Moreover, we will start the filming of the next few episodes this week, and we can't delay it any longer..."

He Tianran tapped the table with his finger, "Then let's contact the new artist right after the meeting. I'm still curious, you said you want to change the script, and the actors will fully cooperate, so what exactly do you want to change?"

"we would like……"

“I want to hear from the artists that no matter how well you plan the show, its success still depends on their cooperation.”

He Tianran waved his hand and interrupted Xiang Kui. His eyes swept over the three artists sitting beside him. The two young people from the company were sitting on pins and needles. Only Wen Liang, who was at the end and farthest from He Tianran, glanced over from afar. She stared at He Tianran with gold-rimmed glasses on his nose, her eyes filled with anger, but her heart was full of complicated feelings.

After seeing the man, Wen Liang naturally saw and thought about the thing that came to everyone's mind, but she still didn't want to believe that He Tianran would betray Cao Aiqing in private and do something improper.

It may sound ridiculous, but Wen Liang is indeed the one who has the most say in this matter.

"I...will definitely fully cooperate with the company. I have no objection."

Male artist Luo Que was the first to speak out. He was an internet celebrity who became famous for his comedic skills after becoming popular on the surfing online platform. Later he was discovered and signed to a company. With the aura of a comedian, he and Su Xiaotong formed a couple and did not have to worry too much about scandals.

"I just hope the script isn't too explicit... There won't be too much intimacy in the game..."

As a female artist, Su Xiaotong is a little worried. She previously participated in a variety show audition and achieved good results and a considerable number of fans. However, her singing and dancing skills are average, and her achievements are all based on her appearance. Now the company has arranged for her to participate in variety shows and act in dramas. She is another newcomer that the company is promoting after Wen Liang and Bai Lingye.

"Yes, yes, I also want to say that I think the most explicit variety show in our country is the perennially popular "Happy Forward", and I can only accept that level! Please ask the company to consider the necessary idol burden for us as artists!"

Luo Que's sudden joke made everyone laugh, but everyone knew that he was right. The biggest attraction of that obstacle course program was the scene of women wearing cool clothes and falling into the water. This scale is the benchmark for domestic variety shows today, so no matter how the program crew changes the script, it will not touch some vulgar red lines.

Su Xiaotong's worries were resolved by a humorous remark. Just when everyone was having fun, a sentence was like a bucket of cold water, making the atmosphere tense:

"What are the specific steps in the script of a variety show? Is it accurate to a single line? Or does it have to be paired with a certain person to attract attention? Weren't the first two episodes criticized as industrial saccharine? Will it be better if we do it this way?

And Sister Xiang, when you first talked to me, it wasn't like this. You said that your variety show would only set goals and scenarios for the artists, and the specific process could be free to play, and you were just guiding them. I agree with this very much, but why are you saying you want to change the script now? If that's the case, why don't I just take on a silly and sweet drama to act in?"

Wen Liang's remarks that hit the nail on the head made the plan that everyone had just discussed seem like a joke. Li Lan, who was standing aside, was terrified. It was a small company before, so it would have been fine for Wen Liang to treat her like this as a boss, but now the entire agency has been acquired by Shanhai. Although she knew about this girl's hot temper, didn't she know how she could have come to this point?

She's not famous enough to turn against her boss!
Who gave her the confidence? Did she think she was respected because of her good relationship with He Tianran?

Li Lan didn't dare to think about what kind of situation she would face if the company gave up on Wen Liang. Fortunately, Bai Wenyu didn't seem to have any objection to this. Instead, he remained calm and silent.

Artists have their own demands, companies have their own targets, meetings are not about playing house, and apart from He Tianran's extremely childish statement of abandonment at the beginning, Bai Wenyu would not intervene in the current situation.

Therefore, the only one who could step forward and take charge at this time was He Tianran.

Seeing Wen Liang's reaction, the man couldn't help but say this, even though he had a thousand reasons to be upset:
"Ms. Wen, you are an excellent actor. I know this very well. So, whether it's acting, appearing on variety shows, or even... pairing up with someone and pretending to be in a relationship, I believe you can do it perfectly. And the revised script shouldn't force you to do anything unless you want to."

When everyone heard this, it sounded like Director He was praising Wen Liang's professional ability, but in fact, he was using this opportunity to criticize...

Wen Liang glanced sideways. She suddenly couldn't understand He Tianran in front of her. He claimed to abandon her in the previous second, and in the next second he said that he believed in her acting skills and asked her to follow the script. What on earth did he want to express?

Wen Liang obviously didn't think that He Tianran was just taking advantage of the situation and using the variety show to refer to the original prank to satirize her. Because the information gap between the two of them is too big, He Tianran's main personality doesn't care about this thing that never happened, so Wen Liang won't think about it in this way.

This resulted in He Tianran's teasing not seeming to anger Wen Liang, but instead calming the girl down. She tried to figure out He Tianran's thoughts and asked:

"Then...how should we modify the details of the script? I'd like to hear your opinion, Director He."

I wanted to take advantage of Wen Liang's straightforward personality and provoke her to lose her composure in front of everyone, but she seemed not to understand what I was saying and asked for my opinion instead...

Is this woman pretending to be confused?

He Tianran secretly complained in his heart. It was obvious that the desire for revenge left in the teenage personality was still affecting this mature personality. However, compared to the teenage personality, this personality was more sober, more patient, and more resourceful.

Everyone saw him pondering for a moment and then said:
"I think we should be more proactive in this script, because the two episodes that have been aired and the content to be aired later give the guests a lot of room to choose. Everyone can choose their partners based on their own preferences. But the facts have proved that the chemical reaction produced in this situation is not obvious, and some netizens' perspectives are very clear. The choice of artist guests is not as popular as the evil CP they support, so we can try a script that has a fixed CP and fixed character settings from the beginning, and the plot can also be more exciting, such as..."

He Tianran paused deliberately, looked at Wen Liang, and spread his hands:
"Something like 'forced love', that sounds really addictive, doesn't it? Suppose a prank is planned for Miss Wen Liang, and she is the mastermind. Her mission is to manipulate someone who doesn't like her, and after winning someone's heart, she tramples on him and leaves."

This hint was very obvious. Wen Liang's face changed visibly, as if he was thinking about something. However, He Tianran ignored the participation of other people in the meeting, so when he said this, others also became interested.

Xie Yanyan, who had been taking notes of the meeting seriously, interrupted:
"Brother Tianran, this is not called 'forced love'. Forced love is true love, the kind that will never leave once you get it. What you said is a bit scumbag. The highlight of forced love is the resistance of the loved one and the various crazy actions that the forcer does in order to get love."

Xiang Kui also joined the discussion and continued:
"Yes, yes, yes. Director He, I understand the kind of reversal you want, but I want to change my identity and make a reversal at the end of the show. The person being forced can pretend to accept the love of the forcer, but the program team will arrange a choice. If the person being forced rejects the forcer in the end, then he has completed the program team's mission, and the forcer will be punished..."

Su Xiaotong couldn't help but interrupt:
"Is there a possibility that the person being coerced will eventually choose to accept the love of the coercer?"

“Wow~”

A low cry from women was heard in the conference room, and even Bai Wenyu couldn't help laughing.

He Tianran rubbed his brows. He had originally just wanted to say something subtly to Wen Liang, but now a group of people were discussing it seriously. It seemed that they were enjoying it and had found some inspiration.

Xiang Kui, who was already excited, asked the silent Wen Liang, "What do you think, Teacher Wen Liang?"

"I don't care. Is this plot arranged for me?"

Wen Liang was still thinking about He Tianran's intention and answered casually.

"This is a form. We should include it in the next episode's script. Every guest will have it. As for whether it is forced or not, and what the plot is like, we still need to discuss it internally." "Then I don't know who you will arrange for me for the time being?"

"That's for sure. After all... variety shows still need some 'improvisational' elements."

As he was talking, he thought of the male guest that had not been decided yet. Xiang Kui, who had been immersed in the entertainment industry for many years, looked at He Tianran thoughtfully and couldn't help but suggest:

"How about... Director He... you try it?"

He Tianran was stunned: "Try? Try what?"

"Be a guest on the show!"

"Are you kidding..."

His face condensed, but several leaders present were very interested in this proposal, and Xiang Kui, the leader, advocated it vigorously:

"I'm not kidding, it's true! Director He, you are really qualified to be on this show. First of all, you are the chief planner and director, and you know what kind of effect our show needs most. What's more, you are very familiar with the artists in our company, and there is no barrier for new guests. Therefore, whether it is the catfish effect or fueling the flames, the effect will definitely be stronger than other guests. Secondly, in terms of your popularity on the Internet, you are not inferior to some first- and second-tier artists. It's just that you have been behind the scenes for a long time, so your exposure is a little bit less, but you are more than enough to be a guest. And Director He, you are the only one I can think of to find a male guest with suitable status and high cooperation in such a short time~ Come on~"

There are actually quite a few rich second-generations who have been discussed and exposed online, such as a certain Mr. Wang who was famous for his behavior in the early days, and a Mr. He, a descendant of the gambling king who was famous for his high education and high IQ, and who finally married a supermodel and frequently appeared on variety shows.

The difference between He Tianran and the above two gentlemen is that he is actually in the film and television industry, and his talent as a director is also recognized. If he really wants to find an identity of "director + rich second generation" to match him, he is more like director Juno Mak.

If the latter is not compared with his works, He Tianran is younger, more handsome and more talked-about.

Looking at the eager expectations in everyone's eyes, He Tianran waved his hands awkwardly.

"talk later."

The topic stopped there, and the meeting continued for another hour and a half. After watching everyone leave one after another, He Tianran returned to his office. He had too many things to think about after withdrawing from work, and he knew...

After the meeting, some people would come to see him.

Sure enough, within five minutes, Bai Wenyu pushed the door open and walked in. The mother immediately saw the broken pieces of wine glass and the almost dried red wine stains on the ground that had not been cleaned up yet. She turned her head to look at her son who was sitting behind the desk.

"Naonao left?"

"gone."

"Why did you ask her to come over today?"

“Just some psychological counseling.”

He Tianran's indifference made Bai Wenyu frown slightly, "What kind of psychological counseling is more important than work? Why are you just leaving it alone?"

The son pretended not to notice the insinuation in his mother's words and said in a pretentious manner:

"Is it not important? I think it is very important. If I had known earlier that psychological services were so effective, I should have started receiving treatment when you separated from your father."

Compared to the teenage personality who still has a reliance and desire for family affection, this personality of He Tianran seems extremely indifferent to this, just like... his parents towards him.

Bai Wenyu's throat choked, and after a pause, he warned:
"Tianran, it would be best if you really called Yu Naoqiu for psychological counseling. Don't follow in your father's footsteps."

He Tianran didn't take it seriously, but said complacently:
"My dad? Isn't my dad my role model? He's successful in his career and has a lot of fun. You hate him so much, but haven't you given up your shared property with him? This is what you taught me. Things that can be bound by interests are not a big deal for people like us, right?"

Bai Wenyu's anger was visibly rising. The woman took a few quick steps forward, raised her hand high, and slapped her son who dared to disobey her.

Unexpectedly, the palm fell in mid-air and was suddenly clamped tightly by He Tianran's palm.

"Ms. Bai, the company is not a place for you to discipline your son. If you want to discipline your son, please set an example as a parent. Beating, scolding and threatening are not convincing enough."

He Tianran shook off his mother's hand and Bai Wenyu was stunned.

When she first returned to China, she felt that her son was becoming more and more like He Panshan, but that didn't matter because he had Cao Aiqing. At least emotionally, He Tianran would not become his father's shadow.

However, at this moment, Bai Wenyu felt that He Tianran looked more and more unfamiliar, but also more and more familiar. He was like a freak formed by the combination of all the contradictions and flaws between her and He Panshan.

"I'll go talk to Yu Naoqiu."

"It's up to you, but her psychological counseling is really professional. Mom, I also recommend you to give it a try."

He Tianran responded easily. Bai Wenyu turned around and walked to the door. Finally, as if some thought made her turn back, she took a deep look at her son's unfamiliar face and left the last sentence:
"Tianran, I don't care what you think of my relationship with your father. I don't care if you want to imitate your father, but you must give Ai Qing an explanation for what happened today. I will not let this child become another me, and I will not help you hide it."

After saying that, Bai Wenyu slammed the door and left.

He Tianran sat on the chair, like an unchanging iceberg, and remained silent for a long time. However, under the iceberg, there were too many complicated and surging emotions that he needed to chew slowly.

However, before he could calm down and think about anything, the office door was knocked again.

"He Tianran, can I come in?"

A warm voice came from outside the door.

"Come in~"

The man put his expression back into control. A beautiful figure pushed the door open and walked in. Wen Liang closed the door again and noticed the mess on the ground. She was always fearless, passionate and straightforward, but now she had a complicated look on her face.

In fact, He Tianran was also very surprised. According to Wen Liang's personality, the girl should have reacted strongly to his suggestion of the script just now, but she didn't. She even accepted it as if by default...

This abnormal phenomenon really doesn't seem like the Wen Liang he knows...

Moreover, He Tianran expected that after this meeting, Wen Liang would come to him, either to scold him for bringing up the past, or to completely break up with him. No matter which one it was, the subsequent handling would achieve the "revenge" effect that He Tianran's inner personality wanted. But what he didn't expect was that the first sentence she said was with an unspeakable embarrassment. This bright girl said:

"He Tianran, I know why you acted so abnormally during today's meeting... You... don't have to be like this."

"you know?"

He Tianran was not sure. Wen Liang looked him straight in the eye and nodded, as if he understood everything.

"I know."

Wen Liang's answer confused He Tianran. He carefully recalled his experiences as a teenager over the past half month, but there was nothing in his memory related to Wen Liang that could make him say such a thing...

"Then tell me why I did this and why I made it difficult for you."

In response to He Tianran's calm question, Wen Liang's face turned red. She widened her eyes and said embarrassedly:

"You...I...Do you really have to make me say it? I just want to tell you that you don't have to do this for me. I am willing to be on this show!"

He Tianran was speechless for a moment. What kind of riddle was Wen Liang trying to throw at him? What did I do for you? I want to take revenge on you. What did I do for you? Why are you blushing?

"Wenliang...you..."

"Tuk tuk tuk..."

The man was about to test it when, coincidentally, there was another knock on the door, followed by the voice of He Yuanchong.

"Brother, let's chat for a few minutes."

The two people in the room were like frightened birds. Wen Liang shuddered, looked away, and said:

"Then I'll be leaving first...you can talk to your brother."

How could He Tianran, who hadn't figured out the other person's intentions, let her leave so easily? He suddenly stood up, grabbed Wen Liang's hand as she was about to leave, and said coldly:
"We haven't finished talking yet, you can't leave!"

Wen Liang subconsciously lowered his voice and said anxiously: "I...you...then what do you want me to do?"

"Hide!"

"Where am I hiding?"

"Brother, are you there?"

Outside the door, He Yuanchong's urging voice sounded. He Tianran and Wen Liang looked at each other, and then glanced around at the same time, but unfortunately, there was no good place to hide in the bright and clean office. Even the only cloakroom was open.

He Tianran's mind raced. He put down the cool hand and sat down again. Then he pushed his feet and the wheels of the office chair suddenly moved back half a meter.

The man looked towards the hidden space under the desk, then raised his head to look at Wen Liang and said in a commanding tone:

"Hide inside." (End of this chapter)
