Chapter 435: Chapter 430: She Refused
Qin Dingyue had suffered a heartbreak, which under normal circumstances wouldn’t have had much impact, but that night Shen Yan had a dream.
In the dream, Qi Si, after revealing that he knew her true identity, was choking her and demanding that she give back the original Shen Yan. Qi Si’s cold, emotionless eyes terrified Shen Yan enough to jolt her awake from the nightmare.
“Yanyan, did you not get enough rest last night? You look a bit pale,” Xiao Zhao stared at Shen Yan’s face, asking with concern.
Shen Yan pressed her brow, “Played on the computer for too long.”
Liu Su, who was in front, quickly advised her not to put too much pressure on herself; if her coursework was heavy, she should take on fewer shoots.
Today, there was a comrcial to shoot, for a food and beverage company.
It was Shen Yan’s first ti taking on a comrcial for the food and beverage industry.
The location of the advertisent shoot was in the business district, at the company’s headquarters.
The shoot was to be done by their own staff, and the requirents weren’t too many. The main need was for Shen Yan’s popularity to help boost their brand.
This whole district was filled with the headquarters of big companies from Shen City, with large enterprises such as the Bai Family and the Mu Family firmly established here.
Every inch of land in the vicinity was worth its weight in gold, and any company that could stand tall in this district must have so strength.
Their car had just arrived in front of the “Fuyan” Catering Company building when the departnt manager ca out with a team to greet them: “Miss Shen, we’re all prepared. This way, please.”
Miss Shen was taken through a special passage.
Upon entering, Shen Yan and her team were imdiately struck by the luxury of “Fuyan”!
Although it was a catering company, this building appeared to house not only “Fuyan” but also other companies on different floors.
Within the next second, the departnt manager explained that the owner behind this whole building was the sa individual.
Shen Yan saw advertisents related to hotels plastered inside the elevator.
This introduction by the departnt manager was also an attempt to build more trust with Shen Yan.
The elevator stopped on the eleventh floor, where everything was already set up for the shoot, just waiting for her arrival.
“Fuyan” had their own floor and staff for shooting comrcials.
Liu Su, noticing Shen Yan examining various ads posted inside, leaned in and said, “It’s the Zhou Family’s ‘Fuyan’.”
“The Zhou Family?”
“They have so clout in Shen City,” Liu Su continued, “They’re the ones who approached us.”
“Okay.”
The departnt manager quickly took Shen Yan over to the makeup artist, who upon seeing Shen Yan, found it unnecessary to apply makeup because she had virtually no need for it.
In the end, she appeared on cara with a bare face.
For modern comrcials, she didn’t even need to change clothes. As soon as she arrived, they started filming.
Shen Yan had a strong cara presence, and the shooting went very smoothly.
No sooner had Shen Yan finished shooting than she heard soone call out for the General Manager and Young Master Zhou.
Shen Yan stepped out of the studio, turned around, and saw Zhou Yan standing there.
She suddenly understood sothing.
It was impossible to tell that this low-key classmate, Zhou, had such a family wealth.
The business-clad lady standing beside Zhou Yan was sizing up Shen Yan with a very subtle look. Despite her restraint, her gaze still had a sharp edge to it.
The General Manager ca over and reached out to Shen Yan with a hand, “Hello, I am the General Manager of Fuyan, President Zhou.”
“President Zhou, hello.”
Shen Yan shook hands, then withdrew.
She took another look at Shen Yan, then turned back to Zhou Yan, “I heard from my nephew that you two are classmates?”
“We are classmates.”
Then, the woman across gave her another subtle once-over, as if she was assessing Zhou Yan’s potential girlfriend.
Shen Yan raised an eyebrow and looked at Zhou Yan.
With a sowhat headache, Zhou Yan approached, “Auntie, Shen Yan is just my classmate, not what you’re thinking.”
Only then did Zhou Ran retract her assessing gaze, “My nephew has always been dull, always studying and unlike other people his age. Seeing him take such good care of a female classmate, I couldn’t help but be curious.”
Zhou Yan felt a bit uneasy under Shen Yan’s gaze, “Auntie, we’re just here to take a look.”
It wasn’t about investigating his affairs.
“Your dad was already discussing marriage with your mom at your age. You haven’t even been in a relationship.”
Zhou Yan felt even more uncomfortable now, especially with Shen Yan still standing here watching.
Others might not know, but he guessed that as Lin Shuangxu’s good friend, Shen Yan must have realized it.
Although Lin Shuangxu had loosened up a bit, there hadn’t been an official upgrade yet, so he didn’t dare bring her ho easily. If Lin Shuangxu got shy and ran away, or if he upset her, he would be the one crying.
He hadn’t really won her over yet, so he didn’t dare to break the news at ho.
“Auntie, let’s talk about business.”
“This is also business,” Zhou Ran turned back and said to Shen Yan, “I’m sorry you had to see that.”
“It’s okay.”
Shen Yan glanced at Zhou Yan.
The more Zhou Ran looked at Shen Yan, the more he liked her. If Shen Yan could beco Zhou Yan’s girlfriend, the family would definitely approve.
Even though many people had badmouthed Shen Yan online, and there were rumors that she was financially supported by a wealthy patron, Zhou Ran knew that most of the rumors were false as soon as he saw her in person.
Liu Su noticed the situation and imdiately beca alert, his gaze toward Zhou Yan sowhat unfriendly.
Zhou Yan realized that Shen Yan’s agent was hostile towards him, which baffled him.
When he found a mont alone, Shen Yan asked Zhou Yan, “You don’t plan to tell your family about your relationship with Lin Shuangxu?”
Zhou Yan swiftly looked toward Shen Yan. “You know…”
“Lin Shuangxu’s expression is too shy. It’s hard not to notice.”
Zhou Yan didn’t know what to say at that mont, feeling a bit embarrassed.
Seeing his innocent reaction, Shen Yan was sowhat speechless. “What did you do to her?”
“I didn’t do anything.”
It was just a kiss.
Seeing his quick response, Shen Yan let out a chuckle.
Zhou Yan: “…”
He didn’t say anything, did he? Why was Shen Yan looking at him like he was so kind of “casanova”?
“Your family seems to think highly of . I don’t want them to get the wrong idea, so you should explain it to them soon. If you can’t convince them to accept a girl from a moderate-inco family, you should let go sooner rather than later, so as not to hurt her.”
Shen Yan dropped that line and walked away.
Zhou Yan felt the pressure given by Shen Yan and a subtle hint of chilliness.
Shen Yan was not in a good mood.
Because of the dream last night, and then today’s affair with emotion, she couldn’t possibly feel uplifted.
Shen Yan held her phone, but in the end, she didn’t call Qi Si. She just sent a ssage, and the reply ca quickly.
Qi Si couldn’t sleep again?
Shen Yan sowhat regretted sending a ssage at this ti.
She wrote that she was going out and told him to rest well, saying she was starting to get busy with work.
In reality, she had just finished work.
Walking out of the Zhou Family corporation building, she looked up. The sky was gloomy, without clouds or a trace of the sun, as if a storm could break at any second.
It was suffocating.
Bai Zhong’s car passed through this section of the road. Seeing Shen Yan coming out of the Zhou Family building, he told the driver to stop the car, and rolled down the window. “Miss Shen.”
“Young Master Bai,” Shen Yan responded with a cool expression.
“The movie is about to be released. I’m really looking forward to you taking another step forward this ti.”
“If it’s a big hit, it’d also greatly benefit the Bai Family,” it was mutually beneficial after all.
“I wonder if Miss Shen is interested in another collaboration with the Bai Family?” Bai Zhong asked.
“My schedule is packed. Thank you for the opportunity, Young Master Bai,” Shen Yan declined.
Bai Zhong wanted to say sothing else, but in the end he just looked at her. After saying one sentence, he had the driver drive off. Not far away, Bai Zhong called Shen Ning in Beijing: “I invited Shen Yan, but she refused.”
Shen Ning tightened her grip on the phone suddenly. “Bai Zhong, stop doing this…”
