Chapter 71: WeChat Password
Xia Wanyuan looked at Jun Shiling in surprise. Jun Shiling had easily taken a personâs head with a flick of his fingers.
Xiao Bao wanted to lean over and play with Jun Shiling, but he was stopped by Jun Shilingâs hand. âYour eyes canât take it. Donât look.â
âHmph, bad Daddy. Fine, I wonât look.â Xiao Bao pouted and sat down with his back facing Jun Shiling, ignoring his father.
âDo you play this too?â No matter how she looked at it, Jun Shiling didnât seem like someone who would play games in private.
âNo, itâs my first time playing.â As Jun Shiling spoke, he had already gotten Xia Wanyuanâs score to increase to 9-7. Her teammate, who had been scolding Xia Wanyuan, fell silent.
âAmazing.â Xia Wanyuan sighed. As expected, an intelligent person was good at everything.
Jun Shiling received Xia Wanyuanâs praise, and with Xia Wanyuan watching from the side, he did not show it on his face. However, his actions became even more ruthless, beating the opponent until he surrendered.
âImpressive.â Looking at the wordsâ victory âon the phone screen, the corners of Xia Wanyuanâs eyes curved into a smile. Jun Shiling turned his head and met Xia Wanyuanâs phoenix eyes, which were filled with smiles. His breathing paused.
âIâll give you my account number. Help me play when youâre free.â
As soon as she said this, Xia Wanyuan felt that something was wrong. It seemed that she had been too casual with Jun Shiling recently. Such a request was not logical to the busy Jun Shiling.
âAre you sure?â
Upon hearing this, Jun Shiling stared intently at Xia Wanyuan. There was a deep darkness in his eyes that Xia Wanyuan could not understand.
âIf you donât mind?â Xia Wanyuan was a little confused by Jun Shilingâs attitude, so she followed his words.
âI have time to help you.â Unexpectedly, Jun Shiling agreed very quickly.
âGive me your WeChat password.â Jun Shiling took out his phone and downloaded the game.
As a result, Big Boss Junâs phone, which only had a few apps all year round, finally welcomed a new partner.
There was finally some space for him to play with the high-quality phone that had hundreds of GB.
âHuh? Oh.â Logging into the game did seem to require authorization. Anyway, there was nothing shameful in her WeChat, so Xia Wanyuan simply entered the password into Jun Shilingâs phone.
Jun Shilingâs eyes flashed as he watched Xia Wanyuan input the password into his phone step by step.
âItâs done.â Xia Wanyuan looked at the time after typing the password. It was time to sleep. âXiao Bao, itâs time to sleep.â
âOkay, Mommy.â
Xiao Bao obediently put down the comic book and opened his arms to Xia Wanyuan, planting a kiss on her face that smelled like milk.
Then Xiao Bao turned to look at Jun Shiling and snorted provocatively. âDaddy, youâre bad. Iâm not kissing you today!â
â¦â¦
Jun Shilingâs expression darkened. He suddenly felt that there was no need to implement quality education in this family. This little dumpling was getting mischievous. It was time to beat him up.
Qing University did not need to publicize much in the media to be famous. Hence, when the Qing University opened Weibo, they did not pay attention to the Internet in real time. Hence, they did not notice that the topic of the Qing University had become so popular.
It was not until the next day when he went to work and opened Weibo that he realized that there was a sea of red dots. He was so frightened that he thought that he had been discovered drinking milk tea in his office yesterday and was collectively denounced.
He clicked on it and saw that it was not to denounce him. Huh?! It was actually to say that there was a management loophole in the lecture.
This time, the problem was even bigger. The operator was so frightened that he hurriedly reported to the school.
It was going to be the annual student recruitment season soon, not to mention that the Qing University represented the reputation of the most prestigious university in the country. Hence, the school naturally took this matter very seriously and immediately contacted Elder Zhong to confirm it.
When Elder Zhong heard the news, he wanted to clarify it himself. âQuick, open a Weibo account for me. I want to go up and clarify.â
âTeacher, if you clarify now, the netizens will only say that Miss Xia entered the lecture through connections. It wonât be good for you or her. Why donât you wait for the results of the Chinese Arts Competition to be released? It wonât be too late to clarify then. Anyway, itâs going to happen in the next two days.â
Li Nian had a good understanding of the matters on the Internet. After hearing what she said, Elder Zhong felt that she was right. He immediately called Professor Zhang and asked about the Chinese Art Awards. After knowing that the results would be out the day after tomorrow, Elder Zhong was relieved.
With Xia Wanyuanâs skills, he believed that it would not be a problem for her to get first place. When the time came, her status as a guest consultant in Chinese arts would be more useful than anything else.
âHubby, youâve worked hard. Come here, Iâll massage your shoulders.â
Seeing that Father Xia had finished his work, Han Yuan hurriedly brought over a cup of tea. She stood behind Father Xia with her belly sticking out and gently massaged his neck.
âAlright, youâre pregnant. Stop working and rest well.â Father Xia pulled Han Yuan to a chair and sat down, then carefully touched her stomach.
âHubby, youâve worked hard.â Han Yuan leaned into Father Xiaâs arms, but her eyes were already cold. If not for the fact that she was counting on Xia Wanyuan to get some money for Father Xiaâs sake and save the Xia familyâs company, she would not have bothered to feign civility with Father Xia.
âWhy have you been so considerate these two days?â Because of the Xia familyâs company, Father Xia was so anxious that his hair had turned gray.
âThere will always be a way when the time comes. I believe that you will definitely be able to make a comeback. The baby and I still need you.â Han Yuan rolled her eyes, but her actions were very passionate.
Father Xia was touched. âDonât worry. When the child is born, I will write those properties under his name.â
At that moment, Father Xiaâs phone rang.
Father Xia looked at Han Yuan awkwardly and finally picked up the phone. âHello, Wanyuan.â
Upon hearing that it was Xia Wanyuan who had called, Han Yuan was delighted. The matter must have been settled.
âOkay.â
Father Xia hung up the phone and carefully observed Han Yuanâs expression. He realized that she did not explode upon hearing Xia Wanyuanâs name as she usually did. He was relieved. It seemed that Han Yuan had truly become much more sensible.
âOh, itâs Wanyuan? Whatâs the matter with her?â Recalling how Xia Wanyuan had agreed to go and ask Jun Shiling for help the other day, Han Yuanâs smile had a hint of authenticity.
âWanyuan said she wanted to see me about something and asked me to meet her at the company.â At this point, Father Xia was a little confused.
Xia Wanyuan had never gotten along with Han Yuan. Ever since she married into the Jun family, she rarely contacted her family. Why did she suddenly want to meet me today?
And why did she want to meet at the Xia familyâs company?
âThen hurry up and go. Wanyuan probably has something important to tell you,â Han Yuan said considerately.
âOkay.â Seeing how sensible Han Yuan was, Father Xia didnât say anything more and got up to rush to the company.
When Father Xiaâs figure disappeared from the door, Han Yuanâs smile finally disappeared. She took out her phone and sent a message to the group of sisters, âIâll treat everyone to a vacation in Europe next month.â
Chapter 72: Negotiation with Father Xia
Xia Wanyuan arrived at the Xia familyâs company. Unlike the Jun Corporation, which was rich and imposing, the Xia familyâs company was located in an office building in Beijingâs Fifth Ring Road.
However, in Beijing, being able to afford to rent an entire office building meant that the Xia family used to be relatively rich.
However, at that moment, the company was in a state of depression. Because the company had declared bankruptcy, many employees had already chosen another path. The company that used to be prosperous and lively could only see groups of employees packing their things and preparing to leave.
âWanyuan?â
When Father Xia arrived at the company, he pushed the door open. If not for that extremely recognizable face, Father Xia would not dare to recognize her as his pretty daughter.
Xia Wanyuan wore a short black cardigan jacket, paired with a bright yellow velvet knee-length skirt and a pair of black high boots, making her look cold and elegant.
What surprised Father Xia even more was Xia Wanyuanâs confident and powerful aura. He had been in business for so many years, so he had naturally trained his ability to judge people very well. But at this moment, he could actually see the aura of a leader in his daughter.
Could it be that one is marked by the company one keeps? How could her marriage to Jun Shiling affect my daughter so much?
âOkay, come and sit.â
In the end, Xia Wanyuan still could not call him âDaddyâ. Although the original owner of the bodyâs father was a little weak and biased, he treated the original owner of the body pretty well. Unfortunately, the soul in this body had changed to the Xia Wanyuan from a thousand years ago, and she could not bring herself to call him that.
âW-what do you want from me?â Father Xia sat in front of Xia Wanyuan hesitantly. He felt that his
âThe Xia family is bankrupt, right? I can inject funds into the Xia family.â
âReally? Wanyuan, you⦠Is it because Master Jun is willing to help us?â Upon hearing Xia Wanyuanâs words, Father Xia was overjoyed. Didnât Jun Shiling hate Xia Wanyuan a lot? Could it be that Xia Wanyuan had truly secured her position as Madam Jun? Thinking of this, Father Xia looked at Xia Wanyuan even more passionately.
âItâs not him, itâs me.â Seeing the light in Father Xia âs eyes grow brighter, Xia Wanyuan added, âBut I have a condition.â
âWhat condition?â Father Xia was stunned.
âI want you to transfer all your shares to me.â
âWhat?!!â Father Xia had thought that Xia Wanyuanâs condition might be to give her some shares after the Xia family rose again, but he did not expect Xia Wanyuan to want all his shares.
âIâll give you three days to consider. Even if you donât give me your shares, the Xia familyâs capital chain is already broken. You also know that no one will be willing to invest in this mess.â Xia Wanyuan slowly broke down Father Xia âs psychological defense. âBesides, are you going to watch the Xia familyâs company end in your generation?â
After speaking, Xia Wanyuan observed Father Xia âs reaction. She estimated that this matter was about to end, so she left the office, leaving Father Xia to think alone.
As he watched Xia Wanyuan leave, Father Xia felt that this person was too unfamiliar. However, Xia Wanyuanâs words had indeed taken root in his heart and sprouted.
It was difficult for him to decide what to do with all the shares in the Xia family.
Father Xia walked down the stairs in a daze. The once lively office was now devoid of life.
When some employees saw Father Xia , they did not greet him respectfully as usual and just ignored him coldly.
âHey, isnât this Director Xia?â
As soon as Father Xia left the company, he met his former right-hand man, Zhou Kang. Before the Xia family went bankrupt, Zhou Kang had been very respectful to Father Xia .
Zhou Kang had strongly recommended the film investment case back then. The reason why Father Xia had invested in it was partly because he trusted his trusted aideâs judgment.
âZhou Kang? Where are you going?â Ever since the Xia family went bankrupt, Zhou Kang had left the Xia familyâs company. Although Father Xia was bitterly disappointed, he knew that everyone had to live, so he did not blame Zhou Kang too much.
âIâm going to be the finance director of Dingsheng Company opposite.â Speaking of this, Zhou Kangâs face was full of smugness, and his tone was filled with obvious pride.
âDingsheng? You!â Dingsheng could be said to be the Xia familyâs rival company. Moreover, Dingsheng had fought with the Xia family for five years. Zhou Kang could go to any company, but Father Xia could not accept going to Dingsheng.
âSo what if itâs Dingsheng? Dingsheng gave me a high position and high salary. Director Xia, youâre so rich that you definitely wonât fancy them, but theyâre still quite attractive to me.â Zhou Kang looked at how his former boss had fallen and could not help but feel a strong sense of superiority.
âOh, I have to go to the company now. See you later, Director Xia.â Zhou Kang looked at his watch and greeted Father Xia symbolically. Before Father Xia could reply, he turned and left.
Xia Wanyuan looked at this subordinate who had once tried to curry favor with him. Now, he looked so arrogant because of his bankruptcy. He felt depressed. He could not help but think of Xia Wanyuanâs conditions and slowly made a decision.
At the Jun Corporation headquarters.
âPresident Jun, this is the investment plan for our company this quarter. Please take a look.â The director of the investment department handed the proposal to Jun Shiling nervously.
âFilm?â The Jun Corporation had always been involved in this aspect. In the past years, there had also been investments in the film industry, but they did not account for much and did not account for much either. This year, the proposal submitted by the investment department had increased the investment share in the film industry.
âYes, President Jun, after our investigation, weâve discovered that due to the popularity of the Korean wave a few years ago, the development of the domestic entertainment industry has been very abnormal. And in the past two years, after the Korean wave subsided, the domestic film industry began to develop. The investment department thinks that there is room for investment in the current film industry.â
The change in investment in film and television this year was relatively large. The director of the investment department knew that Jun Shiling would definitely ask about this, so he took out the data that he had prepared beforehand and reported to Jun Shiling.
âOrganize the film and television data for the past ten years and send them to me. You can leave first.â After hearing the investment directorâs analysis, Jun Shiling did not agree, but some thoughts arose in his heart.
âYes, President Jun.â
After the investment director left the office, Jun Shiling finished dealing with the matters that had happened in the morning. He took out his phone, logged into Xia Wanyuanâs WeChat, and clicked on King of Glory.
Lin Jing carried the lunch box into Jun Shilingâs office as usual. The moment he entered, he realized that the usually quiet office had an inappropriate sound of gaming special effects.
When Lin Jing had time, he would play games for a while. Naturally, he knew what the sound effects were. However, the sound effects appearing in Jun Shilingâs office really made him feel horrified.
But Lin Jing was still the special assistant of the Jun Corporation steadily. Even though his heart was racing, he still put away the lunch box expressionlessly and said calmly, âYoung Master Jun, lunch is ready.â
âMm.â After winning the game, Jun Shiling was about to switch off his phone when a new message popped up on WeChat.
âWanyuan, the production team is about to enter the publicity phase. Do you have time to come out for a meal tomorrow? Letâs communicate first?â
The sender was Qin Wu.
Chapter 73: Escort
Jun Shiling raised an eyebrow. Although he knew that he was prying into Xia Wanyuanâs privacy, he could not help but click on the WeChat message.
The profile picture of this person named Qin Wu was that of a gentle and sunny man.
Looking at the message asking Xia Wanyuan to go for a meal, Jun Shiling pursed his lips and his eyes darkened.
âWho is Qin Wu?â
Lin Jing was about to leave when Jun Shiling suddenly stopped him.
It had to be said that Assistant Linâs salary of nearly ten million dollars a year was not for nothing.
Facing Jun Shilingâs sudden question, Lin Jing went through it in his mind before quickly locking onto a document he had checked before.
âQin Wu is a relatively well-known actor, and heâs also the male lead in the production of the Long Ballad with Madam.â
âGot it. You may leave.â
âOkay.â As long as Jun Shiling did not continue asking, Lin Jing would definitely not ask what his superior was thinking.
Jun Shiling switched off his phone and sat at the table to eat.
Qin Wu thought about it for a long time before finally using the excuse of the production teamâs announcement to send Xia Wanyuan a WeChat message. However, Xia Wanyuan did not reply for a long time, so Qin Wu sent another message.
âWanyuan, are you busy?â
His phone vibrated, and Jun Shiling glanced at it. Wanyuan? He sounded quite intimate.
There was no more message from his phone. Only Jun Shilingâs quiet chewing could be heard in the office.
âXiao Xia, um, you need to come to the company for a while.â After leaving the Xia familyâs company, Xia Wanyuan was about to return to the manor when she received a call from Chen Yun.
Xia Wanyuan arrived at the building where Creating Star Entertainment was located. It was a building with an extremely modern architectural style.
Unlike the strictness of the Jun Corporation, Star Creation Entertainment had electronic posters of its celebrities everywhere. Once they entered the hall, they saw brief introductions of their celebrities everywhere.
âHey, isnât this our little princess? Tsk, the little princess took time out of her busy schedule to come to the company today. The sun is rising from the west today.â
Xia Wanyuan was waiting for the elevator and reading the artistâs introduction on the wall when she suddenly heard a female voice with obvious hostility.
Xia Wanyuan turned around and saw an extremely beautiful woman. Beside her were two other similarly dressed women.
The poster of the person in front of her was hung on the wall. Xia Wanyuan recognized it immediately. This person belonged to the same company as the original owner of the body and was also considered a new popular starlet, Xie Rou.
]A beautiful woman would always have an extremely sensitive feeling towards another beautiful woman. Xie Rou didnât feel it when Xia Wanyuan was standing there just now.
But when Xia Wanyuan turned her head just now, that pair of eyes that were like the mountains after the rain startled her subconsciously. Didnât I hear that something had happened to Xia Wanyuanâs family? Why did I feel that this person was getting more and more beautiful?
Looking at Xia Wanyuanâs flawless skin, jealousy flashed across Xie Rouâs eyes.
âHey, why are you ignoring me?â Based on Xia Wanyuanâs character in the past, she would explode at the slightest provocation. How could she not react after being ridiculed like this today?
âI only care about people.â Xia Wanyuan turned a deaf ear to Xie Rouâs constant provocations. Only when the elevator reached the 16th floor did Xia Wanyuan leave the elevator.
????
âWhat does she mean?â Xie Rou thought for a long time but still didnât understand what Xia Wanyuan meant.
Meanwhile, the two celebrities beside her had already understood what she meant. They lowered their heads and secretly mocked Xie Rou.
It was not until they reached the office that Xie Rou reacted. âThis little b*tch scolded me??â
No matter how angry Xie Rou was, it had nothing to do with Xia Wanyuan.
âXiao Xia, you have to be considerate of the companyâs difficulties, right? You canât get a role here, the company canât support you for nothing.â
Supervisor Jin glanced at Xia Wanyuanâs flawless face and felt a little regretful. This Xia Wanyuan was quite good-looking, but unfortunately, she could not be popular.
In the past, he could still raise her in the company and let her mess around because her family had donated funds. But now that the Xia family had stopped investing funds, he could not continue to support her for nothing.
âThen what do you need me to do?â
From the moment she entered the office, Xia Wanyuan had been quietly listening to Supervisor Jin. After understanding Supervisor Jinâs personality and his basic intentions for coming, Xia Wanyuan finally spoke.
âThe company wonât be able to accept any script endorsements, so youâll have to recommend yourself to the investors and directors.â Supervisor Jin grinned. âIf you can get resources, the company will definitely do its best to nurture you.â
âSelf-recommendation?â
Xia Wanyuan was still not too familiar with the rules of the entertainment industry and was somewhat puzzled.
âThereâs going to be an investorâs dinner later. Come with me. If the investor thinks that you have the potential to invest, you wonât have to worry about film resources and endorsements in the future.â
As soon as Supervisor Jin finished speaking, coldness flashed across Xia Wanyuanâs eyes. For a moment, Supervisor Jin felt a fatal coldness from Xia Wanyuan. When he looked at Xia Wanyuan again in a daze, he realized that she had returned to normal.
âOkay, thank you, Supervisor Jin.â
The corners of Xia Wanyuanâs red lips curled up slightly, making her look breathtaking.
Seeing how sensible Xia Wanyuan was and how beautiful she was, Supervisor Jin was in a good mood. It seemed like the investment this time was stable.
Supervisor Jin brought Xia Wanyuan to an extremely luxurious KTV in Beijing. Although it was called a KTV, it was actually an entertainment venue that integrated all kinds of entertainment and games. It was extremely luxurious, so the people who came were either rich or noble.
âHey, that woman is really something.â
Bo Xiao was drinking coffee by the window without interest when his friend suddenly exclaimed.
Bo Xiao pursed his lips. âWhoever you see is the best.â No one could compare to his sister-in-law in terms of beauty.
âNo, I swear. Look!â His friend pulled Bo Xiao towards the door. Bo Xiao looked over reluctantly and was stunned.
âLook, donât you think sheâs especially pretty? Sigh, such a beautiful person can go anywhere with a lot of money. Why is she so stupid to be an escort?â His friend mumbled regretfully.
âWhat escort?â Bo Xiao was puzzled. Why was Xia Wanyuan here? And what did my friend mean by escort?
âThe one beside her is Supervisor Jin from Star Creation Entertainment. I know him. He specializes in getting investors to drink with her artistes. His reputation in the industry is pretty bad. Itâs a pity for this beauty.â
Seeing that Bo Xiao kept staring at the woman beside Supervisor Jin, his good friend thought that Bo Xiao had taken a fancy to that beauty. âHey, if you like her, Iâll give you Supervisor Jinâs contact number another day. This lady is indeed of the highest quality. Even Iâ¦â
âIf you want to live for a few more days, shut your mouth.â Seeing his friend getting more and more ridiculous, Bo Xiao scolded him.
Seeing that Xia Wanyuan had entered the elevator with Supervisor Jin, Bo Xiao felt that something was wrong, so he called Jun Shiling.
Chapter 74: Angry
âCEO Liang, CEO Li, Iâm sorry Iâm late. Iâll drink three glasses as a punishment.â
The moment Supervisor Jin pushed open the door, he had already put on a socializing smile and bowed humbly.
âSupervisor Jin, you made us wait so long. Itâs not right for you not to drink the wine today.â
âI took so long to bring a beauty here today. CEO Li, please forgive me on account of our beauty.â
âSince Supervisor Jin said sheâs a great beauty, Iâm looking forward to it. If not for her, Supervisor Jin wouldnât have been able to avoid these ten glasses of wine.â
In the luxurious private room, everyone was full of anticipation when they heard Supervisor Jin mention the great beauty. After all, they were very satisfied with what Supervisor Jin brought every time.
âCome, Xiao Xia, come in.â
Supervisor Jin waved at Xia Wanyuan, who took a step into the house and appeared in front of everyone.
The originally noisy private room instantly fell silent.
Xia Wanyuan was dressed in a rather cold and elegant manner that day. Her pair of long boots complemented her slender legs, and her aura was fully released. She had lightly applied makeup, but it could not hide her exquisite figure. Her beautiful eyes looked around and were overflowing with splendor.
CEO Liang, who was sitting in the middle of the room, even forgot to put down the wine glass in his hand.
âHaha, how is it? CEO Liang, CEO Li, for the sake of this beauty, I donât have to drink anymore, right?â
Seeing CEO Liang and CEO Liâs reactions, Supervisor Jin smiled smugly. He knew that with Xia Wanyuanâs beauty, this matter would definitely succeed.
âXiao Xia, right?â CEO Liang put down his wine glass, but his eyes were glued to Xia Wanyuan. âCome, come, come, sit here.â
With that, he pushed the woman in his arms aside. The woman glared at Xia Wanyuan with jealousy.
âIâll just sit here.â
Instead of sitting beside CEO Liang, Xia Wanyuan sat on the sofa furthest away.
âWhat?â A flash of displeasure flashed across CEO Liangâs eyes as he looked at Supervisor Jin.
âXiao Xia, thereâs no one else here, so Iâll be straightforward with you. If you serve CEO Liang and CEO Li well today, youâll naturally have an endless stream of endorsements.â At this point, there was a hint of ruthlessness in Supervisor Jinâs eyes. âIf you donât know your place, donât blame me for being ruthless.â
âOh? I donât understand how to serve?â The corners of Xia Wanyuanâs lips curled, but there was no hint of a smile in her eyes.
âOf course. Donât worry, as long as youâre sensible enough, Iâll give you whatever resources you want for the endorsement,â CEO Liang said as he pulled the beauty over and kissed her on the cheek. His hand reached out to her chest and rubbed it.
Xia Wanyuan narrowed her eyes at CEO Liangâs oily appearance.
Meanwhile, in Xia Wanyuanâs bag, which no one had noticed, a small camera was constantly flashing with infrared light, recording everything that was strange in the house.
âThen Iâm really sorry.â Xia Wanyuan smiled gently. Although she was magnificent, the words that came out of her mouth were cold. âIâm quite insensible.â
Oh, look. Itâs understandable that this young lady is so arrogant.â The middle-aged man called CEO Li poured a glass of wine and walked over to Xia Wanyuan. âCome, Miss Xia. Itâs our first time meeting. Letâs have a drink.â
A victorious smile flashed across CEO Liâs eyes as Xia Wanyuan accepted the wine glass. As long as she drank this wine, no matter how immature a person was, she would become sensible.
Xia Wanyuan slowly picked up the wine glass and was about to close in on her red lips when she suddenly splashed the entire glass of wine on CEO Liâs face. The red wine dripped with CEO Liâs hair, making him look extremely disheveled.
âYou little hussy, I gave you face?â CEO Li had never been treated like this before. He was instantly enraged. He wiped the wine off his face and reached out to Xia Wanyuan, wanting to pull her into his arms.
However, Xia Wanyuan nimbly dodged his hand and kicked him, sending him flying onto the table in the middle of the room. The wine bottles on the table fell to the ground.
âYou donât know whatâs good for you.â CEO Liang put down his wine glass and walked towards Xia Wanyuan with CEO Li.
They had encountered strong resistance before, but it was useless. No matter how much a weak woman resisted, she was not as strong as two 1.8 meters tall men.
At this moment, Supervisor Jin, who had brought Xia Wanyuan here, was calmly watching with folded arms. It was as if he had seen this scene countless times before.
Xia Wanyuan moved her wrist and assumed a defensive posture. It seemed like CEO Liangâs hand was about to reach Xia Wanyuan.
âBang!â
The door of the private room was suddenly kicked open. Because she had used too much strength, it made a loud sound that shocked everyone in the private room.
âWho are you?â
Although CEO Li was called CEO, he was actually just an investor who knew how to take advantage of situations. Hence, he had never seen Jun Shiling before. He asked angrily when he saw a young man with a strong aura suddenly standing outside the door.
âC-CEO Jun?!!â Although President Liang had never seen the real Jun Shiling, as an entrepreneur who was considered successful in the country, he naturally knew what the head of the Jun family, who controlled almost all the economic connections in the country, looked like.
At that moment, Jun Shiling only saw two tall men surrounding Xia Wanyuan in the luxurious and chaotic private room. The lust in their eyes was about to overflow. One didnât need to think to know what they were up to.
An obvious anger gathered on Jun Shilingâs usually calm face, and his deep eyes surged with waves.
Seeing that CEO Liangâs hand was almost on Xia Wanyuan, Jun Shiling strode over and pulled her behind him.
âGet lost.â Jun Shilingâs deep voice was filled with a bone-chilling coldness, which frightened the people in the room.
No matter how stupid CEO Liang and CEO Li were, they knew that they had provoked someone they shouldnât have. When they saw Jun Shilingâs angry face, they broke out in a cold sweat, drenching their clothes.
âYes, yes, weâll get lost immediately.â The two of them scrambled out of the private room.
Supervisor Jin, who was lying in the corner of the sofa and watching the show, did not expect that things would turn out like this. He did not know Jun Shiling, but seeing how CEO Liang was so afraid of this person, he naturally knew that Jun Shiling had a powerful background.
When he met Jun Shilingâs cold eyes, Supervisor Jin rolled down from the sofa and hurriedly left the private room.
âIâll be fine.â
Although Jun Shiling usually had a cold expression, Xia Wanyuan had never seen him like this. The extremely suppressed anger of Jun Shiling made Xia Wanyuan feel a little afraid.
âWhat do youâll be fine?!â Jun Shiling turned around and saw Xia Wanyuanâs indifferent expression. Anger surged in his heart, and he could not help but growl at Xia Wanyuan.
After shouting, Jun Shiling seemed to realize that he had lost his composure. He restrained his anger, grabbed Xia Wanyuanâs wrist, and walked out.
At the door, Bo Xiao saw Jun Shiling pulling Xia Wanyuan out angrily. âWhatâs wrong?â
Jun Shiling did not reply, only pulling Xia Wanyuan out the door without stopping.
Chapter 75: Coaxing
âYouâre hurting me.â Jun Shiling seemed to be trying his best to suppress his anger. He did not notice that he had grabbed Xia Wanyuan too tightly and was pulled into the car. Xia Wanyuanâs wrist was still in Jun Shilingâs grip, and she could not help but cry out in pain.
âAre you alright?â Jun Shiling only reacted after hearing Xia Wanyuanâs words and hurriedly let go of her hand.
Xia Wanyuan rolled up her sleeves, and her wrist was a little red.
When Jun Shiling saw Xia Wanyuanâs hand, the anger in his eyes dissipated and was replaced with guilt. âIâm sorry, I didnât notice.â
âIâm fine.â It was just a little red, but it wasnât that serious. Furthermore, Xia Wanyuan could tell that Jun Shiling was so angry because he was worried about her, so she didnât blame Jun Shiling.
In the manor, Uncle Wang was leisurely watering the flowers when the door slowly opened and Jun Shilingâs car drove into the manor.
The car door opened and Jun Shiling got out first. Uncle Wang had watched Jun Shiling grow up, so he could naturally tell that Jun Shiling was extremely angry. He was about to go forward and ask if anything had happened.
Jun Shiling placed his hand on the car door and helped Xia Wanyuan get out.
â¦
Uncle Wang picked up the kettle that had been placed on the shelf.
He was already an old man, so he wouldnât be a third wheel anymore. Let the young people settle their own problems.
After entering the house, Xia Wanyuan asked Nanny Li to prepare some food for her. After meeting Xia Fu, she went to the office. She hadnât eaten lunch yet and was a little hungry.
Upon hearing that Xia Wanyuan had gone to that lousy place and had not even eaten lunch, the coldness on Jun Shilingâs face grew. However, considering that Xia Wanyuan was eating, he did not say anything. He took his computer and went to work under the small gazebo in the garden.
Xia Wanyuan ate her fill and finally felt her stomach warm up.
âNanny Li, your food is getting more and more delicious.â Xia Wanyuan smiled at Nanny Li.
Nanny Li smiled kindly. âItâs good that Madam doesnât mind.â Ever since she arrived at the manor, everyone had addressed Xia Wanyuan as Madam. Having seen how everyone treated Xia Wanyuan these few days, Nanny Li naturally had an idea of Xia Wanyuanâs status, so she had changed her way of addressing her.
âWhereâs Jun Shiling?â When Xia Wanyuan returned, she could clearly sense that Jun Shiling had something to say to her. However, after she finished eating, Jun Shiling was nowhere to be seen.
âYoung Master is in the gazebo in the garden.â Nanny Li recalled Jun Shilingâs expression when he had just returned and felt worried for Xia Wanyuan. âMadam, Young Master seems to be very angry. coax him.â
Xia Wanyuan also knew that she had been a little reckless today. She had even alerted Jun Shiling to come personally. If news of this were to leak, it would probably affect the Jun Corporation greatly. It was only right for Jun Shiling to be angry.
Xia Wanyuan walked to the kitchen, cut some watermelon, and placed it on a plate. Then, she carried it to the garden and looked at Jun Shiling sitting there from afar. For some reason, Xia Wanyuan could tell that Jun Shiling looked a little aggrieved from his back.
Xia Wanyuan felt that she must have seen wrongly. She laughed a little and slowly walked into the pavilion.
âHave some fruits before you continue working?â
Xia Wanyuan placed the watermelon by Jun Shilingâs hand.
Jun Shilingâs hands did not stop typing on the keyboard, and his cold side profile exuded coldness.
Seeing that Jun Shiling ignored her, Xia Wanyuan did not speak further. She sat across the table, took a book from Jun Shiling, and slowly read it.
A few minutes later, Jun Shiling looked up and saw Xia Wanyuan acting as if nothing had happened. For the first time in his life, he felt suffocated.
âDonât you have anything to say to me?â Jun Shiling switched off his computer and stared at Xia Wanyuan with his deep eyes.
âI thought you were going to stop talking to me.â Xia Wanyuan closed her book. Her phoenix eyes curved into crescents as a gentle breeze blew past, causing the hair on her forehead to blow.
âHmph.â Jun Shiling snorted lightly.
âIâm fine. Even if you didnât come at the time, I still had a way to escape.â Xia Wanyuan was someone who had been on the battlefield before. Although her martial arts were not high, she still had ways to defend herself.
âThere are two people this time, what if there are twenty next time?â Seeing that Xia Wanyuan did not realize the danger, Jun Shilingâs anger, which had slowly subsided, rose again.
Xia Wanyuan choked on Jun Shilingâs words. She felt that she had been too confident.
âI wonât do it again next time.â Seeing that Jun Shilingâs expression was getting worse, Xia Wanyuanâs expression turned serious. âI promise that I wonât be so reckless if something like this happens again.â
âThereâs going to be a next time?â
âNo, no.â Xia Wanyuan hurriedly shook her head.
âRemember to tell me first if something like this happens in the future.â Seeing that Xia Wanyuan really knew how dangerous the situation was, Jun Shilingâs expression eased a little. He thought for a moment and added, âIf anything happens to you, Jun Yin will definitely be very sad.â
âOkay, thank you.â Xia Wanyuan knew that Jun Shiling was doing this for her own good. âThen can you stop being angry?â
âMm,â Jun Shiling replied softly.
]âHave one.â Xia Wanyuan picked up a piece of watermelon and handed it to Jun Shiling with a smile on her face. The coldness on Jun Shiling dissipated after he received the watermelon.
âCan you tell me more about the topic you were talking about in Qing University? I didnât understand some of it.â Seeing that Jun Shiling had returned to normal, Xia Wanyuan ate the watermelon in her hand in relief.
âOkay, I have some photos here. Come and take a seat.â
Xia Wanyuan sat beside Jun Shiling and looked at the data he had drawn up. Jun Shiling explained it to her patiently.
Not far away, after Uncle Wang watered the flowers, he saw Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling sitting together, looking like a match made in heaven.
Jun Shiling, who had been filled with anger and exuding a cold aura a moment ago, was now explaining things to Xia Wanyuan gently and patiently.
Uncle Wang smiled and went to water a patch of flowers with the kettle.
When Supervisor Jin returned to the office of Creating Star Entertainment, the more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. He called CEO Liang and wanted to find out who that person was. How could he make CEO Liang so afraid? No matter what, CEO Liang was someone with a net worth of over a hundred million dollars.
âHello? Who is it?â It seemed to be extremely chaotic on the other end of the line.
âHello, CEO Liang, itâs Xiao Jin.â
However, unlike the usual chatter and laughter, when he heard Supervisor Jinâs voice, CEO Liang wished he had never known this person.
Thinking that the industry that he had worked so hard to build might be destroyed because of the person Manager Jin brought over, CEO Liang scolded Manager Jin fiercely on the phone.
âCEO Liang, whatâs wrong?â Manager Jin was stunned.
âIâm done for. You wonât be able to recover either. Wait for it.â CEO Liang finally said something that didnât make sense, but for some reason, it made Manager Jinâs heart turn cold.
The internet buzz caused by Jun Shiling, Xuan Sheng, and Xia Wanyuan at Qing University yesterday had yet to subside when the production team of âThe Long Balladâ quietly released the promotional concept film for the drama, triggering a new round of internet buzz.
