Chapter 451: CEO Jun is Famous Again

This was the first time Xia Wanyuan had come to a modern night market. Beijing was a city with a long history. The shops beside it were decorated with ancient architectural styles.

Under the ancient and carved eaves, there was a modern feeling. It was quite unique. The fragrance of all kinds of food floated in the air.

“There’s an extremely handsome singer over there. Let’s go, I’ll show you.”

With that, An Rao brought Xia Wanyuan to the most popular bar.

“Miss An, you’re here. This way, please.” The people here seemed to be very familiar with An Rao. They directly led her to the VIP seat on the roof of the second floor. One could see the performance of the people below when they lowered their heads.

“This is our new Heart of Ice. Try it.” The staff brought up two light blue drinks. Xia Wanyuan tried them and realized that they tasted like wine. Xia Wanyuan knew that this body could not hold its liquor well. After taking two sips, she put down the glass.

“Sister, let me tell you. When I have nothing to do, I come here to watch that singer sing. I think he sings much better than those in the entertainment industry.” Just as An Rao finished speaking, the people in the bar suddenly boiled over. On the stage, a young man in a white T-shirt and holding a guitar appeared.

This young man was extremely handsome, and there was arrogance in his eyes. He casually played the strings and sang softly. Xia Wanyuan nodded. He did sing quite well.

At that moment, the boy on the stage inadvertently raised his head and swept his gaze across the second floor. He met Xia Wanyuan’s gaze and was stunned.

At that moment, Xia Wanyuan’s phone rang.

“Where are you?” Jun Shiling’s deep voice sounded. Hearing the music and singing on Xia Wanyuan’s phone, Jun Shiling frowned.

Xia Wanyuan said a seat. “Come and pick me up.”

“Okay.”

Seeing Xia Wanyuan hang up the phone, An Rao leaned over. “Sister, is this your husband?”

“Mm.”

“What’s your husband like? I can’t imagine what kind of person can marry you.” An Rao suddenly thought of something. “F*ck, will your husband be angry with you if I bring you to look at handsome guys? Let’s go to a bar with ugly singers.”

Xia Wanyuan smiled helplessly. “It’s nothing. This child sang pretty well.” Xia Wanyuan picked up her wine glass and took another sip.

The usually lazy singer had actually sung a few more songs on stage today. The boss was so happy backstage. He wondered why this little ancestor was so interested today.

Not long after, Jun Shiling arrived downstairs. Xia Wanyuan and An Rao walked down. Through the glass window, Jun Shiling saw the arrogant youth on the stage, his gaze following Xia Wanyuan.

An Rao obediently followed Xia Wanyuan. With her driving skills, she could only rely on Xia Wanyuan’s car to go home.

“Sister, your husband is too strict with you. You’ve only listened to a few songs. If I had to say, you should be -” An Rao’s words were stuck in her throat when she saw the person sitting in the car.

???????????!!!!!!!

An Rao looked at Xia Wanyuan in shock. If my eyes were fine, the person sitting in the car was Jun Shiling, right? He was the richest man, right? The husband that all women in the world dreamed of?

“This is my friend, An Rao.” Xia Wanyuan briefly introduced her. “My husband, Jun Shiling.”

Jun Shiling’s originally cold expression softened a little at Xia Wanyuan’s words.

An Rao glanced at Jun Shiling’s cold face. No matter how wanton she was, she still felt uneasy. After greeting him, she closed her mouth and stopped talking.

The chauffeur sent An Rao back to the apartment first, then sent Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan back to the manor.

An Rao got out of the car, while Jun Shiling continued to look at the documents with a cold expression.

Xia Wanyuan leaned on him, causing Jun Shiling to snort coldly. However, he still did not push Xia Wanyuan away.

“How can you be so jealous?” Xia Wanyuan laughed.

“Is the song nice?” Jun Shiling’s cold voice sounded above her head.

“Not bad.” Xia Wanyuan nodded. Many singers in the entertainment industry could not compare to the song that the child sang.

“Is he good-looking?”

“Yes.” Sensing that Jun Shiling’s body had tensed up, a smile appeared in Xia Wanyuan’s eyes. She sat up and wrapped her arms around Jun Shiling’s waist. “But not as good-looking as you.”

“Hmph.” Jun Shiling snorted softly, and his expression softened.

While Xia Wanyuan coaxed Jun Shiling, the young man at the bar had ended his performance after Xia Wanyuan left.

No matter how much the boss begged, he was unwilling to sing another song. He held his helmet and walked out of the bar, calling.

“Hello, I’ll accept that variety show. I’ll come and sign the contract tomorrow.”

———

After Jun Shiling11111111111 became popular, Jun Shiling became popular again.

However, the person who replied was the real person.

Before going to Suhang Ancient Town, Jun Shiling, as a business giant, participated in the Chinese representative meeting.

Such an official meeting had always been a gathering of political, business, and big shots from all walks of life. On the news broadcast of the national channel, there were many articles that specially introduced the situation of the meeting.

As the person in charge of the Jun Corporation, Jun Shiling naturally received specialized reports.

The news broadcast only lasted half an hour. In this news broadcast, Jun Shiling alone occupied one-tenth of the time.

In the camera, Jun Shiling was dressed in a black suit as he stood on the rostrum and gave a speech, analyzing the economic trend for the next few years. Below him sat a group of officials and rich businessmen who usually only appeared on television news.

The scene changed. The core leaders of the country were sitting in the meeting room for a meeting. The camera swept across them one by one.

Jun Shiling wore gold-rimmed glasses and looked down at the document as his side profile appeared on the television.

Chapter 452: The Princess Passed the Poetry Meet Interview

Jun Shiling had always kept a low profile, but ever since the global rich rankings were exposed last time, his popularity had soared.

Ever since the news ended, clips of Jun Shiling had already spread crazily on various websites.

[ Mommy, the hormones that burst the screen, I’m dead. ]

[ These glasses got me spinning. He’s so good-looking, yet he’s so rich and capable. God is so unfair. ]

[ I want… I want to be… I want to be intimate with Jun Shiling. ]

[ The person in front, are you playing dirty? Can you be more reserved? Why are you so excited to see a man? Can you learn from me? I just had sex with Jun Shiling. Did you see me being excited? ]

[ He’s too handsome. I can’t take it anymore. Line up and wait for a chance to be a stepmother. ]

The Jun Corporation’s Weibo account was once again attacked by enthusiastic netizens. Countless people swarmed in and asked Jun Shiling to open his Weibo.

They did not know that Jun Shiling, who they had scolded a second ago, was the one who they had called “crazy” and “a toad who wants to eat swan meat”.

——

Ever since Xia Wanyuan returned from Suhang, she had been busy and had almost forgotten about “China’s Poetry Meet”. Fortunately, Tang Yin reminded her. Only then did Xia Wanyuan remember that it was time for the interview with the producer over there.

As it was a variety show on national television, there were quite a number of people who had signed up. The television station building was packed. From primary school students to old people in their seventies and eighties, there were people of all ages.

Xia Wanyuan entered the building. The staff who had already contacted her led her in, and they were attracted by Xia Wanyuan’s appearance and temperament. Everyone looked at her in a daze. Some young people recognized that this was the celebrity Xia Wanyuan from the entertainment industry. They were puzzled. Why was Xia Wanyuan here?

The staff brought Xia Wanyuan into the interview room. The few interviewers sitting inside looked up and were stunned when they saw Xia Wanyuan’s appearance.

It was not like they had never interviewed good-looking contestants before, but it was the first time they had seen someone so good-looking.

Okay, Xia Wanyuan, right? We need to conduct a basic test for you.” The interviewer quickly reacted. Their program was a poetry variety program. Whether they wanted to keep people or not depended on her ability.

“What is known as the” Sect of Hidden Poets “?”

“Tao Yuanming.”

“Shoot the horse first before the person, capture the leader first before the thieves. Whose poem is this?”

“Du Fu.”

………

Initially, Xia Wanyuan didn’t know much about poetry in the later times, but she had a photographic memory and read books very quickly. Normally, she would catch up on all kinds of books in the future when she was on set. Now, she seemed to be at ease with these questions.

The interviewer asked more than ten questions in a row, but Xia Wanyuan answered them all directly. At that moment, the way the interviewer looked at Xia Wanyuan was completely different.

With such a fast reaction and deep literary attainment, this young lady was really amazing.

“Please fill in the information here. You’ve already passed the interview. Congratulations, I wish you good results in advance.”

“Thank you,”

Those who obtained the qualifications to participate would come out with a number plate. Those waiting for the interview in the hall were extremely envious when they saw the number plate in Xia Wanyuan’s hand. Some young people secretly took photos and posted them online.

Now, the rumors that Xia Wanyuan was participating in “China’s Poetry Meet” had been confirmed.

[ Eh? Xia Wanyuan actually has some skills? It looks like she passed the preliminaries. ]

[ I knew it. Our Yuan Yuan is the best! ]

[ A little amazing, but I don’t know how far she can go. ‘Chinese Poetry Meet’ is a place where there are crouching tigers and hidden dragons. ]

[ Forget it, she’s just a celebrity in the entertainment industry. Why does she have to think about fixing her high profile all day? Isn’t she tired? ]

Xia Wanyuan’s fans were all looking forward to Xia Wanyuan’s new variety show, but most people were suspicious of her participation in it.

After all, in their eyes, “Chinese Poetry Meet” was a very high-end program with a lot of foundation. It was really a little inappropriate to lean on a celebrity like Xia Wanyuan.

Chapter 453: The Teachers’ Gift Singer Broadcast

No matter how controversial the outside world was, Xia Wanyuan was as calm as ever.

It had been more than a week since the recording of “The Singer”. The production team worked overtime to edit and process the post-production and finally finished preparing the program at the end of June.

Watermelon Platform was a television station that occupied a large number of market shares in the country. Normally, the viewership ratings were very high. On this Saturday night, Watermelon Platform officially broadcasted the program “Singer”.

When the program was broadcasted that night, the viewership ratings were still normal. By the time the program ended, the viewership ratings had already increased by more than three times. It directly became the most popular television program that night.

After the television station finished playing, all the major video websites released videos of “Singer” online.

Overnight, this program attracted everyone’s attention.

Watermelon Platform had always been rich and imposing, and the programs it produced were also very exquisite.

At the beginning of the program, a golden microphone appeared out of nowhere amidst the shocking sound effects. Figures appeared from behind the microphone, and the silhouettes of many different singers finally converged into the word “Singer.”

“Welcome to the first episode of Singer. Our theme for this episode is’ Jiangnan ‘.” The host’s melodious voice opened the program’s curtains. “Next, please get to know the ten contestants in this episode with us.”

The large screen began to play the video of the contestants’ appearance.

Figures that everyone was familiar with flashed past. Among them, the most eye-catching was Xia Wanyuan, who was dressed in a cheongsam and had her hair tied up. She turned around and smiled on the bridge.

“Hello, everyone. I’m Xia Wanyuan.”

This smile immediately caused the comments on the video website to increase several times.

In order to show the talents of the artists, Singer used a draw method to choose the songs everyone had to sing. Xia Wanyuan had drawn a very classic old song, “Rain Alley”.

[ Hahahaha, what kind of fate is this? Xia Wanyuan became popular on the Internet because of that photo of “Lilac Lady”. Now, she has drawn the song “Rain Alley”. ]

[ “Rain Alley” isn’t a song that’s easy to sing. It’s a classic old song. ]

The celebrities chosen for the program “Singer” were all very capable. Although Bai Lian was mocked by the entire Internet for pretending to be “Lilac Lady”, everyone had to admit that Bai Lian had some ability.

The style of the song she had drawn was very similar to Xia Wanyuan’s “Rain Alley”. After hearing her sing, the fans broke out in a cold sweat for Xia Wanyuan.

Some fans even dragged the progress bar and skipped other people’s performances to see Xia Wanyuan’s part.

The entire stage was projected into an ancient alley. Xia Wanyuan was wearing a cheongsam as she slowly walked over. It was as if she had walked out of history. Accompanied by mellow music, Xia Wanyuan’s light voice sounded, bringing everyone into the drizzle of Jiangnan.

On the first day of the broadcast, “Singer” ‘s rating on the Douban reached 9.0, and the viewership ratings threw second place far behind.

Various trending searches about the program “Singer” emerged one after another. Among them, the ones who attracted the most attention were “Xia Wanyuan turn around and smile” and “Xia Wanyuan Rain Alley”.

In the “Little Dumpling” fan group, more and more people applied to join the group. The president of the fan club looked at the gradually strengthening fan group and was extremely relieved.

Our Yuan Yuan is really too hardworking. The main character is amazing, and the fan club will be so easy to set up. Even if we did nothing, there are so many new fans.

————

While “Singer” was about to prepare for the second episode’s recording, Xia Wanyuan received news from the Qing University that the research project she was involved in had become a national demonstration project.

There was another extremely important introduction on Yuan Wanxia’s resume.

His colleagues at Qing University had already gotten along especially well with Yuan Wanxia. After all, although this person was talented, he was very humble and never declined complicated research missions. His colleagues liked this new professor very much.

“Master Yuan, when are you coming out for a meal? Let’s gather too.” A professor tagged Yuan Wanxia in the group and the others echoed.

“After I finish these two projects, I’ll treat everyone to a meal,” Xia Wanyuan replied.

“Okay, then we’ll wait.” Most of his colleagues were professors in their fifties or sixties. In their eyes, Master Yuan Wanxia should be older than them.

Thinking of the many help Yuan Wanxia had given them over the past few days and the fact that it was their colleagues’ first meal together, everyone wanted to prepare a gift for their new colleague.

In the group chat without Yuan Wanxia, the professors shared the greeting gift they had prepared for their new colleague.

There were brushes, inkstones, and ginseng deer antlers. Other than these conventional things, there were also professors who thought about Master Yuan’s health.

There were crutches, health supplements, massage devices, and even a wheelchair that the professor had developed for elderly use.

Chapter 454: Xuan Sheng: Mainly because I Like You

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

“Mommy, your singing is so nice.”

In the manor, Xiao Bao sat on Jun Shiling’s lap and watched the variety program of “Singer”. He felt that Mommy sang much better than the teachers in kindergarten. “Daddy, don’t you think so?”

“Mm, it’s nice.” Jun Shiling shifted his gaze from Xia Wanyuan, who was shining brightly on the television, to his son, who was hopping happily on his lap. “Great-grandfather missed you. I’ll send you to Great-grandfather’s house tomorrow.”

“Alright, then Daddy, you have to take good care of Mommy.”

Xia Wanyuan, who was eating a watermelon, looked up. When Xiao Bao did not see her, she glared at Jun Shiling, who smiled.

The next morning, Xia Wanyuan woke up very early. Although there was nothing else to do in the production team of “Moon As Frost”, the matter of the embroidery workshop had not been settled. She had to go to the company.

“I’ll send you there.”

“Okay.”

Ever since they returned from Suhang, once he had a chance, Jun Shiling liked to be together with Xia Wanyuan. When the two of them were alone, Xia Wanyuan felt that Jun Shiling was constantly exuding a strong aura of invasion.

“Sigh.” Xia Wanyuan stopped Jun Shiling from kissing her. “I’m going to the company later.”

Jun Shiling looked at Xia Wanyuan faintly. “It’s been half a month since we came back from Suhang.”

Xia Wanyuan knew what he was referring to. Her face flushed pink, causing Jun Shiling’s throat to tighten.

Looking up at Jun Shiling’s bitter expression, Xia Wanyuan reached out and hooked Jun Shiling’s little finger. “Didn’t you send Xiao Bao to Grandpa’s house?”

Jun Shiling’s breathing instantly became heavy. He grabbed Xia Wanyuan’s hand and pulled her into his arms. “Come back early tonight.”

Xia Wanyuan found it funny. This matter was like an underground meeting.She patted Jun Shiling comfortingly. “Got it, Young Master Jun. Can I get out of the car now?”

It had been a while since the car arrived at the entrance of the Xiafeng Corporation. The chauffeur, who had long cultivated into a spirit, waited very quietly outside the car.

“Go.” Jun Shiling kissed Xia Wanyuan’s hair before letting her out of the car.

Unexpectedly, in the company meeting room, other than Shen Qian and a few executives, there was also a familiar figure sitting.

“Miss Xia.” Seeing Xia Wanyuan enter, Xuan Sheng’s eyes lit up. He waved at her, and the black diamonds by his ears glistened.

“Long time no see.” Xia Wanyuan nodded at Xuan Sheng.

“CEO Xia, CEO Xuan heard that we had a meeting today and insisted on waiting for you here. We couldn’t stop him,” Shen Qian approached Xia Wanyuan and said softly.

“It’s nothing. Make a cup of tea for CEO Xuan.” Xia Wanyuan sat down on the chair. “Use the Snowing in the Wind tea leaves.”

The corners of Xuan Sheng’s lips curled up as he looked at Xia Wanyuan happily. “CEO Xia, you still remember my taste.”

Xia Wanyuan did not answer this question. “Why are you here?”

“I heard that you bought ten embroidery workshops. You spent a lot of money.” Xuan Sheng sat up straight and pushed a stack of documents in front of Xia Wanyuan.

“And?”

“And I want to cooperate with you and have a share of the profits.” Xuan Sheng raised his peach blossom-shaped eyes with a smile.

“We haven’t even confirmed the direction of our development. Are you sure you want to cooperate? Aren’t you afraid of losing money?” Xia Wanyuan flipped the document in her hand. Xuan Sheng was full of sincerity.

“It doesn’t matter if we lose money. It’s mainly because I like you, so I want to work with you more and fight for opportunities to get along with you, CEO Xia.” Xuan Sheng’s words made the expressions of everyone in the meeting room change, except for Xia Wanyuan.

Seeing Xia Wanyuan’s calm expression, Xuan Sheng smiled. “I’m joking. I trust your ability very much, CEO Xia. I’m a businessman and want to earn more money..”

Chapter 455: Unable to Salvage

“No problem.” Xia Wanyuan closed the document. Ignoring the fact that Xuan Sheng had saved her life, just based on Xuan Sheng’s personal strength and ability, he was a very good partner.

“Then let’s go to my office and discuss the details of the cooperation in detail,” Shen Qian stood up and said.

“Okay.” Xuan Sheng stood up and walked behind Xia Wanyuan. He pulled out a stool for her. “CEO Xia, please.”

There had been a lot of things happening recently. Other than the embroidery workshop, there was also the Dongshan Road renovation and the porcelain cups. Shen Qian led the two of them to the office and went to the meeting next door.

“Let’s study your business direction first, CEO Xia.” Although Xuan Sheng’s original intention was to get closer to Xia Wanyuan, as a member of Glory World Corporation, he naturally had to produce results. Otherwise, who knew how those old farts in the company would treat him?

“There’s no hurry. Let me read the documents first.” After Xia Wanyuan finished speaking, the secretary brought over a plate with a cup of tea and a sandwich.

Xuan Sheng was stunned when he saw the sandwich. He did not think that any secretary would serve a sandwich when he served tea.

Furthermore, not many people knew his habit of not eating breakfast.

Xuan Sheng looked at Xia Wanyuan, who was reading the documents seriously. Sensing Xuan Sheng’s gaze, Xia Wanyuan looked up. “You’ll have the energy to do things after eating.” With that, she buried her head in the documents.

Xuan Sheng’s fingers curled up. He picked up the sandwich and ate it while holding back his disgust for the food. His empty stomach finally felt a little full.

Xuan Sheng drank a mouthful of tea and wanted to say something to Xia Wanyuan.

“Don’t harm your body.” Xia Wanyuan had always felt that Xuan Sheng had deliberately allowed himself to hurt his body. Xuan Sheng had saved her before and had never done anything to hurt her.

Xia Wanyuan was not a busybody, but seeing Xuan Sheng like this, she still wanted to remind him.

“CEO Xia, do you know that I like you? If you do this, I’ll misunderstand.” Xuan Sheng looked at Xia Wanyuan and smiled ostentatiously, but his heart was cold. He was also a smart person and naturally knew that Xia Wanyuan did not have that kind of feelings for him.

“I already have one.” Thinking of Jun Shiling, Xia Wanyuan’s brows showed a hint of joy.

Xuan Sheng knew what she was going to say when he saw the light in her eyes. His heart ached. “Alright, stop talking. Let’s talk about the embroidery workshop.”

“Mm.” Xia Wanyuan knew that Xuan Sheng was a smart person, so she did not need to say much.

Xuan Sheng did not mention anything else and the two of them discussed the cooperation for a long time. They only finalized the details at noon.

“Then it’s decided. I’ll go back and go through the board of directors before signing the contract with you.” After speaking, the corners of Xuan Sheng’s lips curled up. He had that charming and tired look again, as if nothing had happened.

]”Okay.” Xia Wanyuan nodded.

After leaving Xiafeng Group, Xuan Sheng got into the car.

“Young Master, are we going back to the company?” The assistant looked over and saw Xuan Sheng’s cold expression.

“To the West Mountain Buddha Temple.”

“Huh??? Oh, oh, oh.” The assistant was stunned. Our young master had never believed in ghosts and gods, and he scoffed at Buddhism. What happened today?

Halfway through the journey, Xuan Sheng stopped the chauffeur. “Forget it, let’s go back to the company.”

The corners of Xuan Sheng’s lips curled up mockingly. I am covered in sins. So what if I believed in Buddha? Xia Wanyuan was probably my punishment.

Someone like me was destined to not be salvaged. I did not deserve to have such a beautiful person.
