However, it wasn't through the entertainment industry that she met him, but rather at a private banquet within the Beijing entertainment circle.
That year, Chu Yu had just returned from graduating in England.
According to his daughter, Chu Yu attended the banquet in a stunning red evening gown, holding a wine glass, looking absolutely breathtaking.
Facing a group of covetous Chu Group executives, she could easily handle them with a smile and a frown.
That innate noble aura cannot be simply described by the word "beautiful".
In Xu Mengying's words, she is luxurious yet understated, elegant yet not ostentatious—she is definitely the perfect goddess in her mind!
Just as the old housekeeper was thinking about this, Xu Mengying came out of the dressing room after changing her clothes.
With an excited expression, she exclaimed, "Butler! I'm wearing this to the variety show tomorrow!"
The old butler looked him up and down, then immediately nodded in approval, "Hmm, I think so too."
Soon, Xu Mengying began packing her carefully chosen everyday outfits into her suitcases in batches, ready to head straight to the variety show recording venue the next day.
As for Chu Yu, since she was going to officially appear on a variety show the next day, the company specially held an emergency meeting for her late at night.
Starry Sky Entertainment is only considered a second-rate small company in the industry.
The main reason Chu Yu chose to sign with Starry Sky Entertainment instead of those leading companies was because of the company's atmosphere and environment.
For example, Zhang Yue and Yu Wei may have some disagreements in daily life, but whenever the company faces external enemies or crises, no matter how big the trouble is, they will immediately unite and fight together against the outside world.
This is the team cohesion of Starry Sky Entertainment.
This is also why Chu Yu didn't mind the company's small size and kept renewing her contract until now.
General Manager Zhao, the general manager of Starry Sky Entertainment, walked into the conference room with a folder in his hand and stood firmly at the front.
" Chu Yu has performed quite well on the show recently, which deserves praise. Let's give him a round of applause!"
The employees sitting in the lower seats immediately burst into enthusiastic applause.
Chu Yu awkwardly twitched the corner of his mouth. " General Manager Zhao, just say what you need to say."
The fact that they suddenly called her over for a meeting so late clearly means they had something to tell her.
Moreover, General Manager Zhao liked to flatter people first before educating them. Chu Yu was already familiar with this tactic.
Upon hearing this, General Manager Zhao quickly smiled and said, "In that case, I won't beat around the bush. Today's meeting is mainly for tomorrow's program, ' Older Sister and Younger Brother Charge Ahead '."
"As everyone knows, Chu Yu has been targeted by online trolls. Although things have improved somewhat recently, we still can't let our guard down and can't let those trolls find any loopholes to exploit. So, when you go live tomorrow, Xiao Yu, please be a little careful and make sure you don't get into any conflicts with Xu Mengying on the other side."
That's right, the main reason why General Manager Zhao had to hold a meeting overnight was Xu Mengying, who had just joined the program.
Despite being an idol, Xu Mengying's fans are incredibly powerful.
If Chu Yu and Xu Mengying have any conflict or misunderstanding on the show, Chu Yu will be the one to suffer.
Therefore, the company can only try its best to restrain Chu Yu's behavior.
Zhang Yue nodded in agreement, then turned to Chu Yu and instructed, " Xiao Yu, General Manager Zhao and we are all doing this for your own good. We're at a crucial transition period right now, and we can't afford to lose sight of the bigger picture."
Chu Yu nodded helplessly, "Okay, I understand."
Seeing Chu Yu's cooperation, General Manager Zhao breathed a sigh of relief. "Alright, that concludes today's emergency meeting. Um... Chu Yu and Zhang Yue, please come to my office."
Chu Yu turned to Zhang Yue with a puzzled look, "What else does General Manager Zhao want to see us about?"
Zhang Yue was also confused this time. She shook her head, "I don't know either. Let's go over there first."
Soon, Chu Yu and Zhang Yue moved to General Manager Zhao's office.
General Manager Zhao gestured for the two to sit down, and then politely poured them a glass of water.
Seeing General Manager Zhao's unusually abnormal behavior, Zhang Yue immediately sensed something was wrong. She tentatively looked up, " General Manager Zhao, has something happened to Xiao Yu recently?"
General Manager Zhao put down his water glass and quickly waved his hand, "No, no, no, Xiao Yu is fine lately. On the contrary, I have good news to tell you."
"You all know about Stockpile Shopping Network, right?"
Stockpile Shopping Network has become the most influential and widely visited shopping platform in China over the past decade.
Furthermore, the first issue of GI Magazine was also sold on Stockpile Shopping Network.
Chu Yu and Zhang Yue both nodded, waiting for General Manager Zhao to continue.
General Manager Zhao sat down on the opposite sofa, took a sip of water, and then continued, "Today, Jiang Taolin, the person in charge of the Stockpile Shopping Network, personally called me to ask about Chu Yu's schedule. He said that if there's an opportunity, he'd like to invite Chu Sister Yu to participate in the platform's summer shopping livestream festival."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Yue's expression froze.
Platforms of this scale, like Stockpile Shopping Network, have an influence almost comparable to Weibo.
Then, the person in charge of this platform actually called Chu Yu personally to schedule a meeting?
This is outrageous.
Chu Yu remained relatively calm, after all, she had encountered quite a few top-tier figures in her social circle.
General Manager Zhao smiled and put down his water glass. "If you ask me, President Jiang must have taken a liking to Chu Yu Sister Yu's sales ability because of the launch of GI Magazine. Live-streaming shopping is all the rage right now, so it wouldn't be bad to let Chu Yu give it a try."
Zhang Yue finally came to her senses. Her eyes sparkled as she turned and grabbed Chu Yu's hand. " Xiao Yu, this is a great opportunity! Our transformation is all about getting rid of your past reputation for terrible acting skills. You're absolutely capable of doing live-streaming e-commerce!"
Chu Yu lowered his eyes and thought for a moment.
Although live-streaming e-commerce wasn't part of her plan, it shouldn't have a significant impact.
