Chapter 57: Chapter 57: 057 So you got hit pretty hard last time, huh?

Shi Lan: “I’m not going to take care of you.”

This time, President Yan didn’t reply, but waited for Shi Lan to look up, and then appeared in front of her.

Shi Lan opened her mouth, thinking you damned man, wasting fortune is one thing, but skipping work every other day, is being the CEO of Huahai that easy?

Yan Shixiu stood next to Shi Lan’s seat, seriously looking at the fiery Shi Lan.

Shi Lan felt a bit uncomfortable under his gaze, so she handed the water glass to Sun Ling and walked over, annoyed beyond belief, “Yan…”

“I will take care of you.”

Shi Lan was stunned, thinking the damned man must really be falling in love this time, sweet nothings one after another. Shi Lan, who had never enjoyed such treatment in her past life, now just wanted to chop off President Yan’s damned head.

“I’m busy right now, I don’t have time to take care of you.” Having said that, Shi Lan turned and went back to sit between Chen Beini and Director Tang.

Yan Shixiu watched the people and felt a bit more at ease, feeling a slight warmth in his heart, and then told his assistant, “Let’s go.”

“Uh… President Yan, are you not going to tell Miss An? You’ve moved next door to her,” the assistant asked.

“No need, let’s go.”

She can find out herself after she cools down for a couple of days.

Ever since he learned from Duan Langxi that he was an exception for Shi Lan, Yan Shixiu’s heartbeat hadn’t slowed down. Heartache and joy were intertwined, leaving him utterly unable to think, so he took action and immediately packed his luggage.

Yan Shixiu’s own company took on the resort hotel project nearby, which is the first branch of a luxury international hotel chain in Yancheng, which he highly values, so he personally came over to supervise the construction. Anyway, he thought this excuse was perfect.

“Is President Yan visiting the set again?” Director Tang, seeing Shi Lan and Yan Shixiu meet, couldn’t help but ask her, “If he cares so much about you, then that time you were hit was quite serious.”

Shi Lan: “Cough cough…”

Ever since being teased by Yan Shixiu last night, she now couldn’t face the word “hit” directly anymore.

Chen Beini’s expression suddenly turned ugly, thinking that Shi Lan had spilled the beans about last night, so she asked, “Director Tang knows about the accident President Yan caused too?”

“What else would you think? Does President Yan, the great CEO of Huahai, need to run to the set so diligently?”

Chen Beini scrutinized Director Tang’s expression, realized he seemed to only know about the car accident, and not about the affair being caught last night, so she relaxed.

It seems that what An Lan said in her room last night wasn’t nonsense, could it be that Yan Shixiu is so protective because he feels guilty for hitting her?

Shi Lan kept silent, just listening to them rambling on about collisions… the scene was rather intense.

“Enough, Beini, I’ve always felt that your mind is clearer than Gu Chengyu, so I firmly believe you won’t bring personal emotions into your work. Don’t waste everyone’s time anymore, both of you must finish the filming tasks for me today.”

Chen Beini looked at Shi Lan with a complex expression.@@novelbin@@

Because in front of Shi Lan, she completely lost the confidence of being a top actress.

People always praised her for being spirited, for her acting skills, as the hope of the new generation, but in just that brief moment, she felt utterly inferior in front of Shi Lan: “I… wasn’t being serious just now.”

“Actually, I’ve never asked, when you released the screenshot of the conversation between An… me and Gu Chengyu, did you ever think it could drive someone to death?” At that moment, Shi Lan asked a very sharp question.

Chen Beini’s face instantly turned a few shades paler.

Standing very close to each other, after a few seconds of silence, Chen Beini suddenly said, “Isn’t that how it is in the entertainment circle? The constant strife and endless competition. If it weren’t for me, you and President Yan would have had no connection. Do you know that last night President Yan even negotiated terms with me to give some of my resources to you? Besides, if I hadn’t done that, you would never have found your place. That resource can be considered compensation I gave you, but whether you can hold onto it is up to you…”
