Chapter 1717 - 1720: It's Not That the
Looking at the stunning actress Song Weiyin, whose eyes were serious and smile was teasing, Shen Qiang burst into laughter and said, "I think you seem to have forgotten a fundamental truth that truly exists, which is, the only thing that can beat one drama king is another drama king."Teasingly staring at the momentarily stunned stunning actress Song Weiyin, Shen Qiang smiled and said, "And don't think that only actors can act. Everyone can do it, and it's innate. Pretending to be sick to skip school when you were young, pretending to be sincere in love when you grow up, acting diligent in job interviews, acting oblivious when others are being pretentious, or more professionally, everyone does it. You just happen to make it your profession, while others use it occasionally."
The stunning actress Song Weiyin laughed, "So arrogant, do you think lousy acting can fool the audience?"
Shen Qiang leaned forward, looked at the stunning actress Song Weiyin, and said with a smile, "Do you think the audience really takes you as the character in the show? Don't they know it's your acting?"
Song Weiyin was silent, then said, "Discussing a profession with an outsider is quite boring."
Shen Qiang laughed, raised an eyebrow, and nodded, "That's because you might think when I'm discussing which refrigerator works better with you, I should first learn some professional refrigeration technology, and not care about whether I've actually used it."
Song Weiyin fell silent, looking at Shen Qiang, she suddenly felt that she seemed completely unable to outargue him.
Seeing Song Weiyin mysteriously fall into Shen Qiang's trap during the debate about acting skills, causing the discussion to shift from acting skills to refrigeration, and Song Weiyin didn't even realize it, the middle-aged female assistant had to interrupt and change the topic.
"Mr. Shen, I have an advertising script here written by the best ad planner in the industry; you can take a look first, and if you're not satisfied, we can ask him to revise it."
Hearing this, Shen Qiang chuckled as he took the script and teasingly looked at the middle-aged woman, smiling as he said, "When I was little, I really wanted a Rubik's Cube, so I told my mom, 'Mom, I've found out the reason why the class monitor has the best grades. The real reason he's the top student in the class is that he trains his thinking skills with a Rubik's Cube after class every day; it's the best way to get smarter.' Then my mom believed it and took me to buy a Rubik's Cube."
Looking at the smiling Song Weiyin and the equally smiling middle-aged female assistant, Shen Qiang smiled, "So I was thinking, the best ad planner you mentioned must be someone very idle. Otherwise, how could they have completed the ad copy before the contract was even signed?"
Seeing Song Weiyin's smile freeze instantly, Shen Qiang's smile became even more radiant, "Moreover, he must be a very kind person, dedicated to Datong River without asking for anything in return. After all, a ten-year spokesperson fee is just one yuan; there's probably not much to share with him."
Noticing the middle-aged female assistant's face gradually turning pale, Shen Qiang laughed, "Of course, I know you're not like me. You wouldn't lie to your mom about wanting a Rubik's Cube because you're noble, while I'm quite worldly. So I believe that you have a very good relationship with this planner; he's helping you for free, and you trust him so much that you discuss any ideas with him immediately. It must be like this; otherwise, it's hard to imagine the script being ready when the contract isn't even signed."
In an instant, the middle-aged female assistant had a flushed face and was full of embarrassment.
Song Weiyin took a deep breath, looked at Shen Qiang, hesitated for a moment, and said, "If I tell you that this script was an old ad concept that was shelved because the contract wasn't finalized, would you believe it?"
Shen Qiang laughed, "You still don't understand what I mean. Many times, when people say, 'I have a good friend; I have a bestie; a relative of mine did such and such...' what they're really talking about is their imagination."
Song Weiyin instantly went silent, glancing at the middle-aged female assistant whose face was red down to her neck, her beautiful eyes full of helplessness and her heart full of powerlessness.
"Shen Qiang is too smart, too perceptive. He figured out that this was the trap we had prepared for him in advance. He's hinting that he already saw through it. What should I do? Such a man is truly despairing. Even if other men see through it, they won't choose to expose it because of my beauty, but he completely doesn't care. What should I do? Should I tell Grandma that it's not because I'm incompetent, but because Shen Qiang is too strong?"
Thinking anxiously and helplessly, yet under such circumstances, the stunning actress Song Weiyin still had to try her best to remedy the situation, because Shen Qiang only hinted that he saw through their trick but didn't make it more direct. This meant there was still room for maneuver.
"Let's talk about your Rubik's Cube instead. After you got it, did you really become smarter and surpass the class monitor in grades?" Song Weiyin said awkwardly, forcing a topic change with a fake smile.
Shen Qiang laughed, seriously looking at Song Weiyin, who was more beautiful than Wenren Meiqiao and others, remaining silent for a long time until Song Weiyin was slightly embarrassed and gradually panicked. Then Shen Qiang laughed and said, "In fact, I found that it was useless. It's incredibly difficult to align the blocks on all six faces of the Rubik's Cube."
"And by the time I understood that the Rubik's Cube couldn't make me smarter, it was just tormenting me, it was already too late. My mom made me twist the Rubik's Cube seriously every day after I got home, not letting me go out to play, not letting me watch cartoons."
Sighing, Shen Qiang looked at the stunned stunning actress Song Weiyin, helplessly saying, "So in the end, when I couldn't bear it anymore, I came up with a solution that seemed perfect: using a screwdriver to pry off the small squares on the Rubik's Cube and then gluing them back on. Then I pretended to be excited and told my mom, 'I've completed it, I've done it.'"
The stunning actress Song Weiyin and the middle-aged female assistant were dumbfounded, both staring at Shen Qiang in astonishment.
"How embarrassing, don't you feel ashamed?" Song Weiyin frowned and said.
Shen Qiang laughed, "Who hasn't done something foolish in their youth? Besides, apparently, I have to remind you again, the reason I'm telling you this isn't to discuss whether I'm vulgar or noble with you, nor to lecture you about human nature. I just want to warn you, don't shoot yourself in the foot."
Looking at the sunny-smiling Shen Qiang, Song Weiyin remained silent for a moment before standing up to say goodbye, only mentioning that she would contact him by phone if necessary.
Just as she reached the door, Shen Qiang called her back.
Then, he flicked a one-yuan coin to her.
"Here, this is your compensation."
