Chapter 391: Xia Wanyuan Was Scolded On The Internet

When Xia Wanyuan first entered, they only felt that this woman was especially beautiful. Everyone’s impression of Xia Wanyuan was that she was a female celebrity in the entertainment industry.

Now that Xia Wanyuan was sitting at the meeting table, even though she had only glanced at them once, everyone felt suffocated by her aura.

Han Xu could not help but call out, “CEO Xia, I’ll ask for everyone’s opinion.”

The acquisition of the company was a huge matter, but Xia Wanyuan sitting quietly at the side actually calmed everyone present. For some reason, they felt that if Xia Wanyuan bought the company, this company might really be able to revive and reach a new height.

Things progressed even more smoothly than Xia Wanyuan had imagined. The shareholders of Bai Xiang basically agreed unanimously that Bai Xiang should be bought over by Xiafeng Corporation.

Xia Wanyuan and Han Xu quickly signed the contract. What followed was to complete all sorts of handover procedures.

After personally sending Xia Wanyuan to the company’s entrance, Han Xu still seemed to be in a dream. He did not know how things had inexplicably developed to this state.

“CEO Xia, I have a question I wanted to ask you just now. Why did you choose to believe Bai Xiang when the controversy between Bai Xiang and Jiaying has blown up so much?” Han Xu looked at Xia Wanyuan’s exquisite side profile and could not help but ask.

Xia Wanyuan stopped walking. “CEO Han, you write your words decently. I think that the person who can write good words is straight and honest, like the words they write.”

It was Han Xu’s turn to be stunned. No matter how he guessed, he did not expect that his apology letter had saved him.

“Thank you, CEO Xia. Thank you.” Han Xu was very touched.

“You’re welcome, CEO Han. You should thank yourself.” Xia Wanyuan smiled.

Because Han Xu himself was a person with a good character, even though Xia Wanyuan had only endorsed a product for him once, he would personally write an apology letter and send a thank-you gift.

If not for his letter, Xia Wanyuan would not have noticed him.

Not long after Xia Wanyuan left, Bai Xiang, who had been silent all this while, finally posted a post in response to the pressure from Jia Yin Corporation.

Bai Xiang Corporation: “Although Bai Xiang Corporation is small, it’s also an old corporation with a hundred years of history. We don’t cause trouble and aren’t afraid of trouble. Who is fooling the public and trying to distort the truth? Let’s wait and see @ Jiayin Corporation.”

Soon, some netizens discovered the extremely firm Weibo post by Bai Xiang Corporation.

[ Wow, why are you so firm?? Who gave you the courage?? The evidence of Jiayin Company has been displayed, and you’re still struggling here? ]

[ Thieves nowadays are really amazing. They dare to challenge others publicly after stealing their things. Amazing, don’t they have any shame? ]

[ I wonder why Xia Wanyuan promoted such a company back then? Did she really abandon her conscience for money? ]

[ The person in front, are you crazy? Don’t tell me that before Xia Wanyuan accepts the promotion, she has to ask everyone one by one if the company stole the formula? Our Yuan Yuan is also a victim, okay??? Back then, when the publicity was released, she didn’t know that this company was so shameless. ]

[ Fans, stop bragging. How can your Yuan Yuan not know? Go and take a look at the Weibo post that Xiafeng Corporation just posted, okay? Come back and slap your face swollen. I don’t even have to do it. ]

Everyone followed this comment and clicked on the official Weibo account of the Xiafeng Group. They were stunned.

Chapter 392: The Princess Wearing a Suit for the First Time

On Weibo, it was shown that Xiafeng Corporation had updated a post two minutes ago, and the content of this post made people feel that their worldview had exploded.

@ Xiafeng Corporation: “Bai Xiang Corporation is an old corporation with a long legacy. I’m very happy that Xiafeng Corporation has welcomed a new partner, Bai Xiang Corporation, today. In the future, we’ll travel together and hope to create more and better products.”

The accompanying picture was of Xia Wanyuan and Han Xu signing the acquisition contract.

In order to make it official, Xia Wanyuan had specially changed into a white professional suit when she went to Bai Xiang Corporation. Her hair that was originally scattered behind her was simply tied up behind her head. Just the side of her face made one feel a fierce aura.

[ What the heck?? Has Xiafeng Corporation gone crazy? As expected, it’s impossible to let a woman run a company. How dare they acquire such a company that steals recipes? ]

[ Is there something wrong with the person in front? Why are you blaming everything on women? ]

[ What is Xia Wanyuan trying to do… It’s not easy for her reputation to improve, but she actually forcefully takes on the negative news. I just became a fan of her, and now I feel that it’s better to forget it. I feel that she doesn’t cherish her feathers. ]

[ Can I go astray? Xia Wanyuan is really valiant… She’s so good-looking… I want to be pressed against the wall by Xia Wanyuan and kissed… ]

[???? The person in front, even the chicken cage can’t control you anymore, right?? ]

Xia Wanyuan did not know about the commotion on the Internet because Jun Shiling was pressing her down on the sofa.

After Xia Wanyuan finished filming her scenes for the day, she went to Bai Xiang Corporation when it was almost time to get off work. After signing the contract, Xia Wanyuan went straight home.

Jun Shiling had returned early that day and was sitting in the living room reading the newspaper. When he heard the commotion, he turned around and saw Xia Wanyuan, who was wearing a white suit and had her hair tied up neatly, walking in valiantly.

Jun Shiling put down the newspaper, and his eyes darkened. “Why are you dressed like this today?”

“I went to attend to some work today. Won’t it look more formal if I wear this?” Xia Wanyuan looked at Jun Shiling in confusion. Didn’t all professional women in the modern world wear this?

Speaking of which, this was the first time Xia Wanyuan was wearing a suit, so she did not know how abstinent she was in this exquisite white suit. However, the curve of her body exuded a different kind of charm under the abstinence suit.

“Come here.” Jun Shiling waved at Xia Wanyuan. Just as Xia Wanyuan walked over, she was pressed onto the sofa by Jun Shiling. Seeing this, the servants that were not far away immediately left the main building.

“We’re still in the living room.” Xia Wanyuan looked around in embarrassment and realized that the servants had long disappeared.

“CEO Xia.” Jun Shiling smiled. “You’re so beautiful today.”

“CEO Jun, you flatter me. You’re beautiful too.” Xia Wanyuan pushed Jun Shiling angrily. Suddenly, Jun Shiling was agitated again.

Jun Shiling leaned over and kissed Xia Wanyuan on the forehead, smiling. “Do you mind acquiring me too, CEO Xia?”

“Is it expensive?”

“It’s not expensive.” Jun Shiling tapped his right cheek. “It’s very simple.”

Xia Wanyuan smiled and leaned over to stamp on it. “Alright, the acquisition is successful.”

“Congratulations, CEO Xia.” Jun Shiling was filled with joy as he stroked Xia Wanyuan’s hair.

“Young Master, there are guests in the manor.” No one dared to disturb the two in the living room. In the end, Uncle Wang came to inform him.

Chapter 393: Someone from the Zheng Family

Guest? Xia Wanyuan looked at the time. It was almost seven o’clock. Who would come at this time?

Seeing that Jun Shiling was still holding on to her, Xia Wanyuan pushed him. “Someone’s here, why aren’t you letting go?”

“Ignore them.” Jun Shiling knew who was coming. He turned his head and told Uncle Wang, “I won’t see them. Let them go.”

“Yes, Young Master.” After receiving Jun Shiling’s instructions, Uncle Wang went out the door.

“I’m sorry, it’s late. The manor doesn’t accept guests. Please go back.”

“Didn’t you tell him that we’re from the Zheng family? What can make Jun Shiling let my brother out?!” Among the few people from the Zheng family, some of them were very young and could not control themselves, so they jumped out.

“Young Master Zheng, our Young Master said he won’t see you. Please leave.” Uncle Wang still spoke in a business-like tone and did not even look at the Zheng family.

Wherever the Zheng family went, they would be flattered, yet they were rejected by Jun Shiling. They did not shamelessly stay here anymore and called home to explain the situation before preparing to go back.

At that moment, a black car slowly drove towards the entrance of the manor. The car window was open and a furry head poked out. An extremely exquisite child who looked like a porcelain doll was staring curiously at the group of people at the door.

The car carrying the child entered the manor smoothly. The door was closed, and the Zheng family could only leave the manor.

“Was that Jun Shiling’s child just now?” Someone suddenly spoke in the quiet car.

“I heard that Jun Shiling has a son. He’s probably the one today. He looks quite like Jun Shiling.” The other person was still answering the question when he suddenly realized something. “Don’t tell me you want to lay a hand on his son?!”

“Damn, how is that possible? I was just asking. I was just asking.” The person who asked the question first waved his hand as if he had only asked casually, but a ruthless light flashed across his eyes.

The eldest young master of the Zheng family, Zheng Yun, had disappeared for a long time. It was as if he had disappeared from the world and could not be found at all. In the end, it was only after the Zheng family used a deep connection that they learned that Zheng Yun’s disappearance was related to Jun Shiling.

Only then did the Zheng family send people to negotiate with Jun Shiling. Who would have thought that Jun Shiling would be so ungrateful? He did not even want to see them. It was really true that businessmen did not know their own worth after having a few dollars. The Zheng family had proposed a few restrictive policies at the meeting, and if they were to smooth over the relevant institutions, Jun Shiling would be in pain.

Xiao Bao skipped into the house and saw Xia Wanyuan sitting on the sofa with an especially red face, while Jun Shiling had a satisfied expression.

“Mommy, your face is so red. Why are you always blushing recently? Are you sick?” Xiao Bao leaned into Xia Wanyuan’s arms curiously.

“No, it’s too hot.” Xia Wanyuan suppressed the heat in her heart and smiled as she touched Xiao Bao’s face. When Xiao Bao did not see her, she glared at Jun Shiling.

However, this glare was completely coquettish in Jun Shiling’s eyes. Not only was he not annoyed, but the smile in his eyes widened.

After knowing that Bai Xiang had been bought over by Xiafeng Group, Jiayin Group did not have much of a reaction. After all, in their opinion, Xiafeng Group, a real estate company, wanting to interfere in the beverage industry was a crossover in the first place, and there would be a very long period of transition. Xiafeng Group would not take over Bai Xiang so quickly.

Furthermore, the initial formula for the beverage was from their Jiayin Group. No matter what, they were the first in the court. No matter how powerful the Xiafeng Group was, they could not do anything.

This acquisition was just Xiafeng Corporation causing trouble for themselves. There was nothing to worry about.

Chapter 394: Yan Ci Was Too Immersed in His Act

Not only did Jiayin Corporation think so, but even Bai Xiang Corporation felt so. After all, there was no way this matter could be turned around.

Xia Wanyuan was not flustered at all. She sent Shen Qian to understand the entire situation. Then, Shen Qian sorted the gathered information into a summarized document and sent it to Xia Wanyuan.

Xia Wanyuan clicked on it and took a look. The corners of her lips curled up slightly. Modern society had become more civilized and lawless. Even if there was dirt, it was done secretly and not so brazenly.

Jiayin Corporation didn’t have the guts to kill people who were involved in stealing the original formula. As long as the person involved was still alive, everything would be easy.

Since those people could betray Bai Xiang Corporation for the money of Jiayin Corporation, they could also betray Jiayin Corporation for the money.

“Don’t alert the enemy first and investigate in secret. We’ll take action when the time is right.” Xia Wanyuan circled a few people on the document and sent the photos to Shen Qian. “Focus on these few people.”

“Alright.”

——

The filming of “Moon As Frost” had been proceeding methodically. Xia Wanyuan’s professionalism and acting skills impressed the entire production team.

Even Yan Ci, who had always been praised for his good acting skills, sighed more than once. Xia Wanyuan’s ability to manipulate other people’s emotions was truly terrifying.

Every time he acted with her, he would feel very pressured. If he did not focus on the drama, he would easily be suppressed by Xia Wanyuan’s aura.

There were ruins everywhere, and the smoke of war had yet to completely dissipate. Qin Manyue and Chu Pingjiang stood at the two ends of the bridge and looked at each other from afar. An emerald bird flew across the lake, and the jade color on its body was actually the only color in this gloomy world.

“Goodbye.”

The two of them looked at each other for a long time as if they had thousands of words to say. However, in the end, Qin Manyue only said one sentence. Qin Manyue’s enchanting and charming eyes were filled with sorrow.

The emotions emanating from Xia Wanyuan were too real. Even the staff around could feel the sorrow and pain of parting.

Furthermore, Yan Ci, who acted with Xia Wanyuan, was a good actor who integrated himself with the characters when filming.

Even though Chu Pingjiang had always been used to being ruthless, at this moment, there was a hint of fragility on his face. He involuntarily walked towards the bridge.

There was no such scene in the script, but seeing Chu Pingjiang’s gaze, Li Heng gestured for the camera to close in. Halfway through, as if he suddenly remembered something, Chu Pingjiang stopped in his tracks.

Snow filled the air and melted on his eyelashes, turning into a drop of ice water. “Take care.”

Qin Manyue nodded and turned to leave. The affection in Chu Pingjiang’s eyes suddenly surged out without restraint when Qin Manyue turned around.

“Close, close, close-up. Good!! This expression is good!!!” Li Heng patted his leg excitedly. These two actors were acting. As a director, he had filmed too well. Every scene was an act!!

“Okay, let’s end the filming for today! Yan Ci, your last expression was too good. As expected of the Best Actor!! You live up to your reputation.” Seeing Yan Ci take off his military coat and walk over, Li Heng could not help but praise him.

“Director, you’re too kind.” Yan Cic smied humbly and hid the emotions in his eyes.

He had completely brought himself into Chu Pingjiang, along with his feelings. In the drama, Chu Pingjiang liked Qin Manyue. After the camera was removed, he realized that he could not take his eyes off Xia Wanyuan.

For a moment, Yan Ci could not tell if he was too immersed in the drama or if he was really attracted by Xia Wanyuan.

Chapter 395: Jun Shiling Offended Madam York

The temperature in June was already very high, but filming disregarded the season. In the camera, Qin Manyue and Chu Pingjiang bade farewell in the heavy snow. However, once the camera was turned off, Xia Wanyuan took off her heavy coat and hat.

The temperature was too high, and she was already covered in sweat.

“I saw that you liked to eat ice cream last time. The weather was too hot. I got my assistant to bring you one.” Yan Ci walked over and handed Xia Wanyuan a chocolate ice cream.

“Thank you.” Xia Wanyuan took the ice cream and thanked him. The cold air of the ice cream finally allowed her to catch her breath. She ate the ice cream in small bites like an extremely good-looking hamster.

Yan Ci watched from the side and forgot that he was holding ice cream.

After every production team started filming, they would attract many standers to secretly film.

This was equivalent to an investment. If this drama became popular, then the photos taken by these station sisters in advance would be popular among the fans. And the station sisters and the Weibo picture station behind them would also earn a lot.

Because Yan Ci and Xia Wanyuan were two extremely popular people, all the hotels and tall buildings around the production team of “Moon As Frost”, where the situation of the production team could be captured, were equipped with all sorts of cameras.

Xia Wanyuan and Yan Ci were naturally the focus of their cameras. All the charm and cuteness were recorded one by one.

————

After resting for a while, Xia Wanyuan had to continue filming.

The production team’s filming did not follow the order of the script. It was possible that they would film the first scene in the morning and end the filming in the afternoon.

After filming the farewell scene with Chu Pingjiang in the morning, the afternoon scene was about the destruction of Qin Manyue’s family.

Xia Wanyuan always had such scenes. She could not help but think of the scenes of the dying country and her losing her parents when she was young.

She had achieved her emotions and the requirements for the drama, but the sourness that was evoked could not dissipate for a long time.

Xia Wanyuan sat aside and called Jun Shiling.

In the office of the Jun Corporation, Jun Shiling was sitting at the table and discussing the relevant cooperation with Madam York.

Jun Shiling’s business was huge, and the York family had always wanted to cooperate with him. It was a good opportunity for Madam York to return to China and let her negotiate with Jun Shiling.

After reading the documents brought by Madam York, Jun Shiling had no intention of working with this family. However, because Madam York was Old Master’s sister, Jun Shiling did not reject her directly.

The York family was one of the top aristocrats in the entire ngland. They had the same opinion of businessmen as in China. It was probably the dream of many businessmen to cooperate with the York family. Hence, Madam York was somewhat dissatisfied with Jun Shiling’s hesitation.

At that moment, his phone rang. Jun Shiling took it and his expression instantly softened.

Jun Shiling took his phone and walked to the window. “Hello, what’s wrong?”

Jun Shiling’s gentle voice came from the phone. Xia Wanyuan’s low spirits suddenly improved.

“It’s nothing. I was just bored, so I wanted to call you.” Xia Wanyuan actually had nothing to look for Jun Shiling for, but she was in a bad mood and wanted to talk to him.

Hearing Xia Wanyuan’s words, Jun Shiling chuckled. “Did you miss me?”

Xia Wanyuan paused and said gloomily, “No.”

Jun Shiling raised his wrist to look at the time. It was almost time for Xia Wanyuan to end work. “I’ll pick you up from the production team now.”

“No need. I’ll be back in a while.” Jun Shiling was so busy every day, so Xia Wanyuan did not want him to run back and forth.

“I missed you too. I’ll pick you up.” Jun Shiling smiled affectionately. Although she could not see Jun Shiling’s face, Xia Wanyuan could imagine Jun Shiling’s expression and tone from his tone alone. Her ears quietly flushed red.

“Mm, I’ll hang up first,” Xia Wanyuan replied softly.

“Okay.”

After Xia Wanyuan hung up the phone, Jun Shiling turned around and saw Madam York frowning.

“Shiling, you’re my grandnephew. I have something to remind you.”

Jun Shiling had not avoided her just now, so Madam York had heard Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan’s conversation. Now that Jun Shiling was preparing to pack up and pick up Xia Wanyuan, Madam York finally could not help it.

“Go ahead.” Jun Shiling stopped what he was doing and sat on the chair, looking straight at Madam York.

“She’s just a small celebrity. It’s fine to play a little. People with your status shouldn’t do this for an actress.”

“Madam York, be careful with your words.” Jun Shiling stopped calling her grandaunt. When she said that he wanted to play, Jun Shiling’s expression had already turned cold. “She’s my wife. The York family, which has always been known for their etiquette and honor, is this how they disrespect other people’s wives?”

“You’re not even married. She’s just an actress. She has no education, ability, and no rules. How can she be the mistress of the Jun family??” Seeing a junior rebut her, Madam York’s eyes burned with anger. She acted like a Duchess.

“Madam York, you have stretched your hand too long.” Jun Shiling’s expression had already turned cold. The oppressive aura around him made Madam York, who had crawled in the royal family for many years, feel a little unbearable.

“I’m the one in charge of the Jun Corporation now. I’m afraid it’s not up to the York family to criticize me.” Jun Shiling’s tone was already very heavy. “If not for Grandpa, you probably wouldn’t have been able to enter this office with the title of Madam York.”

“Junior, why are you so rude?” Madam York was used to living like a princess. When had she ever been humiliated like this? She immediately became angry. “I’ve always heard that you’re a good child who knows when to advance and when to retreat. I didn’t expect you to change my impression of you today. I’m really confused by that actress.”

“If Madam York says anything disrespectful to my wife again, I’m afraid you won’t be able to attend Grandpa’s birthday. You should return to your England.” Jun Shiling looked at Madam York and said slowly. The coldness in his tone made Madam York’s heart tremble.

“You.” Madam York wanted to continue speaking, but when she met Jun Shiling’s cold eyes, she didn’t know how to speak.

Thinking of how the Duke of York had said that he wanted to cooperate with Jun Shiling, Madam York suppressed her anger for the time being. “I was just making a suggestion. Child, you’re getting serious. I have something to do first. Look at this document first.”

“There’s no need.” Jun Shiling pushed the documents Madam York had brought forward. “I don’t plan to work with the York family at all.”
