Chapter 358 - Lingering Presence
Chapter 358: Lingering Presence
Chen Yinghui and He Zhen probably had the same considerations.
However, from Yun Xiangxiang’s point of view, this was a good scenario. With the addition of The Era or stars, they had a cameo from Yu Jinlin.
Let’s not talk about the abundant funds or that they did not have to worry about the promotions, even the lineup doubled instantly.
Chen Yinghui must have had this thought for quite a while since the “Flying Sky”‘s script had been out for a long time.
This meant that Chen Junjie was not finding fault in her purely for Qin Yue.
In the situation where the two companies collaborated, the person who was the main heroine was critical.
While one was in the front enjoying all the praises, the other could only stay behind the scenes. Even if the monetary benefits could be equally distributed, the same could not be done to popularity.
This would greatly promote the influence of both The Era of Stars and Huan Yu Century Entertainment.
Therefore, Chen Junjie did not lose his head to lust, but he was eager to perform instead, which was why Fei Yi would use him for quick success.
If so, Chen Junjie asked foreign media to follow her, and Yun Xiangxiang would even look favorably on him.
“Then, I wish that we will have a happy cooperation.” He Shen toasted first.
“Happy cooperation.” Everyone clinked glasses together.
After drinking this cup, Chen Yinghui’s oppressive gaze fell on Chen Junjie.
Chen Junjie consciously poured some wine and stood up, saying to Yun Xiangxiang, “I craved success before this, eager to show off myself. I should not have spread rumors about Miss Yun. I’m thankful that Miss Yun is willing to give me a second chance this time. I toast this glass to Miss Yun. I hope Miss Yun will be generous and not hold a grudge against me and forget the unpleasant past so we can cooperate with integrity.
Chen Junjie was not an idiot. He spoke sincerely with a good attitude.
Now that the two companies were going to collaborate and Yun Xiangxiang’s request to The Era or Stars was fulfilled, she did not give them a hard time.
“How could one toast be enough? President Chen should be fined three cups, and then this issue is settled.”
“Yes, that is a must.” Chen Junjie downed three glasses in a row.
Yun Xiangxiang raised her glass, “I hope I will have happy cooperation with President Chen in the future.”
“Sorry I’m late.”
Song Mian’s deep voice sounded out as the door of their private room was pushed open. Yun Xiangxiang faced towards him and locked eyes with him.
He wore a pure cotton short-sleeved lapel T-shirt. It was white with blue horizontal stripes, and paired with a pair of pristine white casual trousers.
His temperament and extravagance couldn’t be concealed even though he just dressed up so casually.
Yun Xiangxiang pushed away her chair to greet him. She took his hand affectionately and walked to the table, introducing, “This is my boyfriend —Song Mian.”
“It’s your fiance.” Song Mian corrected gently and pampering.
She secretly glared at him, not refuting him in front of him, so he would not feel embarrassed.
Song Mian smiled resignedly. This girl never understood the different concepts between girlfriend and fiance for people like them.
A strange expression flashed across Yu Jinlin’s eyes. Yun Xiangxiang was only eighteen years old, and she had a keen hunch. This man must be extraordinary.
Then Yun Xiangxiang introduced each person there one by one. Then, they were seated.
Cheng Yinghui called the waiter to come in and serve the dishes, then said to Song Mian, “Mr. Song seems somewhat familiar.”
“One year ago, at Old Man Min’s birthday banquet, I had the pleasure of meeting President Chen.” Song Mian remembered well.
It turned out that Chen Yunghui was there at the birthday banquet that day as well. However, thinking about his relationship with the Min family, it was very normal for him to be there. She just did not see him.
“Your eyes..” Chen Yinghui immediately remembered, but he stopped himself before finishing the sentence.
Song Mian usually wore contact lenses when he went out to cover the uniqueness of his eyes. Otherwise, it would be too eye-catching.
“It is an honor to meet Mr. Song.” Chen Yinghui stood up and poured some wine for Song Mian.
Song Mian covered the mouth of his wine glass, “President Chen, your complexion is greenish. Your liver is severely damaged. It would be better if you drink less.”
Song Mian’s sentence completely changed Chen Yinhui’s expression. He knew of Song Mian’s identity. He was a man who could determine one’s life or death.
“Thank you for reminding me, Mr. Song.” Chen Yinghui was grateful.
Yu Jinlin was even more shocked. She followed Chen Yinghui for almost ten years and knew what his personality was like
If anyone dared to say that to him, be it a real doctor, they would have been severely punished.
But when Chen Yinghui faced Song Mian, even though he did not bow down, he had a lot of respect. He did not even act like this when facing Old Man Min.
“Your fiance is a doctor?” Yu Jinline could only ask Yun Xiangxiang in a low voice.
“Yes.” Yun Xiangxiang looked at Song Mian with her eyebrows raised, “He is a doctor.”
Just because of Song Mian’s words, Chen Yinghui sent away his glass. The dishes were served one by one, and everyone started to eat.
Chen Yinghui was a frequent customer of Chongyu Pavillion. He knew the dishes here like the back of his palm, introducing each one to them.
Talking from the dishes to the ingredients, then medicinal diets. Cheng Yinghui was good at talking and asked Song Mian how he should take care of his health without a trace.
Song Mian looked at Yun Xiangxiang every time.
“Why are you looking at me? I’m not a doctor, and President Chen is asking you.” Yun Xiangxiang replied, annoyed with him looking at her.
Song Mian was not angry and even picked out fish bones for her carefully. He also removed any food with shells while answering Chen Yinghui leisurely.
Seeing Song Mian’s pampering and attention towards her, he thought about what he found in Paris, and suddenly understood some things he did not understand back then.
At this moment, he felt very fortunate for the collaboration between the two companies and that he chose to settle the issue with Yun Xiangxiang and did not offend her greatly.
Before this, he thought that it was hard to explain at Old Man Min. Now it seemed that the most difficult to explain was still here.
After Yun Xiangxiang finished eating, she quickly apologized and left before everyone else did.
She wanted to go to the washroom once, and Yu Jinlin accompaneid her. There might be reporters outside. If they saw them both talking and laughing, some rumors would be discredited.
Coming out from the washroom, Yun Xiangxiang and Yu Jinlin coincidentally came across Tang Zhiyu approaching at the end of the corridor.
“Miss Yun, this is the fourth time.” Tang Zhiyu was surprised at first, then smiled in surprise.
“Mr. Tang, this is normal. People come and go. If you pay attention, you will notice the chances that many more people have passed by you.” Yun Xiangxiang was not surprised at all but instead felt that she was unlucky.
Tang Zhiyu was like a shadow to her that would not go away no matter how hard he was blown at.
“But they just don’t seem to get my attention, nor can they leave a deep impression on me.” His lips were curling into a seemingly non-existent smile.
“Mr. Tang, I do not believe in love at first sight.” Yun Xiangxiang replied seriously.
“What a coincidence, neither do I. But I do believe that having good feelings, at first sight, is the beginning of a beautiful romance.” Tang Zhiyu did not hide it.
“It is impossible for her and you to have any chances.” Before Yun Xiangxiang could speak, Song Mian’s coercive voice rang out.
