She was very curious, "How did Yan Bao know about my brother’s situation?"
"Just guessed~" Jun Yan stood with his arms crossed, acting like a big shot, "My brother is so capable and even went abroad for further studies. There’s no way the things he learned are worse than mine, right?"
Yan Yueqing laughed at his smug appearance.
After talking with Yan Bao on the phone, she felt much better.
The ssy situation at Xingyue would take at least half a month to resolve.
Even though she had managed to get Feng Long and others sent in quickly, the aftereffects were still ongoing.
The layoffs weren’t going very smoothly, but having Ouyang Long there to take the brunt of it helped sowhat.
The main problem was that the overall atmosphere at Xingyue was particularly lazy.
Although Zhongxing had also been bad, it was a company surviving in the Magic Capital, and the employees still had so drive. Once the moths were gone, everyone was stimulated by the heavy workload and high rewards, surging forward as if injected with chicken blood!
But at Xingyue...
No matter the departnt, everyone seed to be just muddling along waiting for death.
Even the layoffs didn’t affect the other workers; everyone acted as if—either I’d take the severance and leave if let go, or I’d continue slacking off if not.
Such an attitude towards work wasn’t cultivated overnight.
Yan Yueqing couldn’t possibly fire all the staff and start hiring anew! But figuring out how to get them to work willingly was still a headache-inducing problem.
Since there was plenty of ti, she wasn’t in a hurry; she decided to play it by ear and see how things would turn out.
She gathered up the contracts in front of her, ready to go upstairs to rest, when her phone rang again.
An unfamiliar number?
She answered with a frown.
"Yueqing, this is your Uncle Chen; do you rember ?"
Uncle Chen?
Yan Yueqing recognized the voice as sowhat familiar, and after searching through her mory, she asked tentatively, "Uncle Chen Xian?"
"Eh! That’s right! It’s !" Chen Xian laughed heartily, "I got your mobile number from your grandfather, and I’m sorry to disturb your rest so late!"
"It’s okay, I’ve just finished my work. Is there sothing you need, Uncle Chen?"
"Well, do you rember the many items you bid for at Uncle Kang’s auction? Among them, was there a glazed tri-colored dragon-head vase?"
"I rember."
Chen Xian laughed sheepishly, "The auction house rules forbid revealing the information of guests in each room, and I only found out that the vase was bought by you when I visited your grandfather today."
The implication was that it wasn’t Kang Jianhua who had revealed the buyer’s information but rather he had found out unintentionally.
"Yueqing... This vase was originally a pair. Three years ago, I bought one, and later I realized it was part of a pair, so I’ve been looking out for the other one. Old Kang specifically contacted about the auction last ti, but I was abroad and didn’t receive his ssage, and just like that... I missed it!
After coming back, I regretted it so much I couldn’t sleep! He wouldn’t tell who the buyer was, and it’s been eating away at ! You know, it would have been fine if I didn’t know about the vase, but knowing that it appeared and I missed out on it... it’s just too hard to bear."
Yan Yueqing understood his intention, "Uncle Chen, I get it. I bought the vase just for fun. It’s no use keeping it at ho, so if you like it, why don’t I have Steward Yan wrap it up and send it over to you?"
"How could I accept that?" Chen Xian burst out laughing, "I should co and collect it myself! It’s not worth troubling Steward Yan to make the trip! Ah, Yueqing, you’re really generous! It wasn’t for nothing that Uncle Chen bought you so many pretty dresses when you were little."
Yan Yueqing also smiled, "Uncle Chen, I’ve always rembered your kindness. The vase was just a small thing; had I known you liked it, I would’ve bid on it and sent it directly to you."
Chen Xian rubbed his hands together in excitent, "How could I possibly accept that?"
Yueqing was sincere.
Uncle Chen was a mber of the Chen Family in City C, and he had a good relationship with Dad, Yan Ming, before. Later, as the Chen Family vigorously developed the entertainnt industry, he got incredibly busy, and in recent years, he even spent about three hundred days abroad for international expansion.
In the few years after Dad, Yan Ming "passed away," many had their eyes on the Yan Family’s assets. It was Uncle Kang and Uncle Chen who relayed a lot of information, making it less strenuous for Grandpa.
When Yueqing was little, Uncle Chen would always bring her all sorts of beautiful dresses.
The reason was simple, everything about Grandpa was great, it’s just that his taste was too much like a straight man’s~ His lovely granddaughter almost ended up wearing floral padded jackets and cotton pants.
Unable to stand it, Uncle Chen took it upon himself to take care of all her clothes until she was five.
After turning five, Yueqing developed her own taste in clothes, and Uncle Chen finally breathed a sigh of relief when she began picking out her own outfits.
Later, when the imposter entered the entertainnt circle with her body, it was certainly partly due to Lin Qiming’s ssage, warning capital investors not to lay a finger on her body easily. But after taking over Zhongxing dia, she learned that Uncle Chen had also put in a lot of effort.
He didn’t support "Yan Yueqing" entering the entertainnt industry, but he still helped a lot in secret.
Otherwise, based on the imposter’s reckless nature, how could it be possible that she didn’t trade her body for benefits?
It wasn’t that they didn’t want to, they didn’t dare!
Soone was backing her up!
On one hand, they used their power to tell others not to touch Yan Yueqing, and on the other hand, they told the capital not to give her resources! Such contradictory actions allowed the imposter to survive in the entertainnt industry for a few years without getting into trouble or gaining fans.
Chen Xian initially thought the young girl liked that vase and was rather unwilling to take sothing she wanted.
But, he really, really wanted that vase!!!
After receiving Yueqing’s affirmative response, Chen Xian imdiately said, "Yueqing, you’re really too kind! Don’t worry! Uncle Chen won’t take the vase for nothing! I heard from your Grandpa that you’re now the boss of Spring City Xingyue dia? Uncle Chen will give you a eting gift~"
Only a few people knew that she was the behind-the-scenes boss of Zhongxing dia.
Grandpa would never reveal her little alter-ego!!!
But Xingyue was different, she had intended to reclaim Xingyue with high profile all along, and a simple online search would reveal that, naturally Uncle Chen, another player in the entertainnt industry, could easily find out.
Just as Yueqing was about to say that she didn’t need a eting gift, Chen Xian’s next words surprised her, "Uncle Chen will give you the endorsent slot for the new year with DLRS!"
DLRS?
Had she heard wrong?
"Uncle Chen, I rember... it seems like they’ve already chosen soone for the endorsent privately, haven’t they?"
DLRS is a foreign luxury watch brand with a history of over a hundred years, with very significant brand influence and backings.
Its ambassadors are typically either Hollywood celebrities or top-tier superstars.
There are very few Chinese endorsers, and each one is a person who is extrely popular in Hua Country.
This year, there were indeed rumors that they were planning to tap into the Hua Country market and were considering a Chinese figure for endorsent.
How many companies and artists stirred under the surface upon learning this news? They nearly trampled down the door to DLRS! The brand maintained excellent secrecy; until the announcent, no one could find out whom they had chosen.
And Uncle Chen... he simply gave that slot to her?
