Chapter 238: 238 Family Support

After Shi Lan agreed, Yan Shixiu got into the car, and once they had driven a distance, he then asked his assistant, “Are all the tickets taken care of?”

“Don’t worry, Boss Yan, a second-floor VIP box, where nobody will find you.”

With his family’s young mistress going into battle tonight, as a relative, he had to be there at the scene to support Boss A.

If Yilong knew his place, then that was for the best. If anyone insisted on troubling the young mistress, then tonight, nobody would have a good time.

…

After Yan Shixiu left, Shi Lan stayed at the mansion until four-thirty in the afternoon and took a long stroll around the estate.

In a bustling city like Yancheng, to have such a haven, Shi Lan felt that Boss Yan’s desire to renovate the villa was more than just talk.

Because she knew very well that the young mistress now wanted to have nothing to do with the Shi Family, so all those things from the past had to be cleaned up completely.

The apartment wasn’t a long-term residence, so this place might very well become their home in the future.

“Boss, it’s almost time. Shall we continue walking?” Sun Ling had been following behind the boss, asking for his preference, “Where did Boss Yan find such a great place? It’s so hot outside, but it feels quite cool inside the estate, plus, there are so many types of plants and flowers here that I’ve never seen before.”

“Let’s go,” Shi Lan said, leading Sun Ling as they left. She actually developed expectations for this place because of Yan Shixiu.

Sun Ling accompanied Shi Lan back to the hotel. This time, Shi Lan took Sun Ling straight in because she had him wear a mask as well.

Shi Lan was ushered into the rest lounge by Yilong’s staff, where the head of Yilong’s copyright department was sitting.

The person was in his early forties, looking gentle and refined.

“Miss An, correct? I am the manager of Yilong’s Copyright Department. My surname is Liu. Please, have a seat.”

Shi Lan was not at all intimidated and confidently sat down in front of him after entering the room.

“Your ‘Two-faced Demon Child’ has indeed been an astonishing success. ‘Demon Hundred Orders’ has hosted many events, and you set a new record. Do you know? Our entire department thinks very highly of your work; we all believe ‘Demon Child’ will be the hit of the year.”

The man sat askew in his chair and inquired Shi Lan seriously and sincerely, “Regarding the copyright issue, you can express your thoughts. Don’t be afraid. Just speak your mind freely.”

Afraid?

“This is my first time participating in such an event. The award from ‘Demon Orders’ this time is of great significance to me, so I want to keep this mystery until the award ceremony is revealed. I wonder if that’s acceptable to Boss Liu?”

Boss Liu thought for a moment and then nodded, “Of course, that’s fine.”

The thought in Boss Liu’s mind was that one million yuan, to a young girl, must indeed seem astronomical. Regardless, she must undoubtedly feel grateful toward Yilong, allowing her to announce the result at the award ceremony was no bad thing.

“Then, I’ll see you at the award ceremony later.”

Nobody expected that under the black mask was truly a Boss A.

…

By this time, Yilong had already begun the red carpet mode, with invited guests gradually making their way to the venue, eager to witness the award ceremony and the announcement of the spokesperson tonight.

All the other nominees were dressed up except Shi Lan, who still wore the same all-black outfit she had on in the banquet hall at noon.

Sun Ling followed Shi Lan into the venue, but their seats were at a distant standing area, making it difficult to see Shi Lan clearly.

As guests and the audience steadily entered, they added a whisper of tension to the forthcoming event.

Shi Lan’s seat was in the front row, convenient for going on stage to receive the award. She was surrounded by other awardees, whom she had met earlier at noon.

The others had long forgotten the unpleasantness from earlier, only remembering the nervousness of the moment. Though they had attended many major events before, facing such a large stage with live broadcast throughout, nerves were inevitable.

Only Boss Shi, focused intently on her phone, showed not a trace of panic.

Dr. Sun: “Boss, I saw Huo Zhao!”

Sun Ling sent a message to Shi Lan from behind.

Shi Lan: “Do you really not need binoculars from where you’re sitting?”

Dr. Sun: “[Aggrieved], I tried to buy the binoculars from the beautiful lady next to me with a high price, but she refused.”

Shi Lan: “The phone has a zoom feature.”

After texting Sun Ling, Shi Lan turned her head to look at the aisle to her right and spotted Huo Zhao.

If it weren’t for her familiarity with Yan Shixiu, it would have been very easy to confuse the two.

It seemed that whether it was the manor or Huo Zhao, Boss Yan had invested a lot of thought and precious time.

Before the event officially began, the stage was still being sound-checked, and the media reporters arranged by Yilong were conducting interviews on the scene, especially targeting those who had won the major awards.

Because Shi Lan’s seat was on the left-hand side, the reporters started from the right-hand side.

Everyone else seemed very excited and nervous, including one award winner who talked about their feelings for a whole three minutes.

But actually, the person the reporters were genuinely interested in was Boss A.

However, when she approached Boss A and was about to greet him, Shi Lan immediately raised her hand to cover her face and said, “Sorry, I don’t give interviews.”

“Just a few words?”

“No need.”

Boss A was cool, the reporter could feel it. It was a personal preference, and the reporter could not insist, so she smiled and walked away from Shi Lan.

The people next to them were suddenly speechless, not sure if they were overacting, or if Boss A was overdoing it more.

Not far away, the guests in the VIP box had also begun to enter one after another.

Boss Yan took a low-profile seat and then located the young miss’s position.

Tonight, the young miss was destined to shine brightly.

…

As soon as it struck six, the lights inside the venue went out, the central screen on the stage began to flicker, and the award ceremony officially started.

After a group of guests performed, a famous host took the stage.

Shi Lan least liked participating in these long and tedious program recordings; the opening speeches by the guests were pure sleep-inducing.

A simple award ceremony was stuffed with many segments by the Yilong side. There were boasts about various metrics, international apparel endorsement, and spokesperson announcements, enough to fill a full two hours.

Boss Yan, guessing the young miss might be dozing off, sent her a text.

Boss Yan: “How far has the event progressed?”

Shi Lan: “I guess Uncle Yan is definitely not at the scene.”

Boss Yan: “You saw me?”

Shi Lan: “Of course I didn’t see you, I just understand you.”

Uncle Yan was keen on seizing opportunities, he wouldn’t miss this one.

Boss Yan: “Everyone else has it, you should too.”

Shi Lan: “What?”

Boss Yan: “Family support.”

It was a perfect excuse, but Shi Lan felt that sitting here was not as good as kissing Boss Yan for two hours.

At that moment, the stage lights flickered, and the event finally moved on to announcing the spokesperson. Kong Lin’s appearance was a slap in the face delivered by a pop king to her, of course, she was about to slap back.
