Recognized by My Ex After Being Reborn-Chapter 242 - There is no thunder anymore

Chapter 242: 242 There is no thunder anymore

The office of the CEO at Tianwang Entertainment was currently playing a video of Shi Lan at the award ceremony.

Because it was so sensational within the industry, both CEOs of Tianwang, gathered around the projector, watched it over and over again.

Kong Lin’s makeup was ruined by tears, looking pitiful in front of the two CEOs.

“CEO Qu, this An Lan is deliberately making things difficult for me. My newly acquired spokesperson now reeks of scandal, tarnishing my reputation. Who will want to collaborate with me in the future?”

Qu Chong and Qu Mobai were brothers; the former was the elder, slightly overweight, and somewhat prosperous-looking. The latter was the younger, tall and thin, sporting long artistic hair.

Before establishing Tianwang, the brothers were businessmen in the Coastal region, full of calculative moves, known for exploiting various loopholes, notorious within the industry, and particularly superstitious.

Qu Chong glanced at Kong Lin and patted her back to comfort her, “Don’t worry, tomorrow your Chong brother will have someone take care of her.”

“Big brother, I didn’t see it before, but this An Lan is quite talented. Why not promote her?” Qu Mobai saw potential in An Lan.

“Didn’t you hear what the master said? That woman won’t live past twenty-two. She’s doomed,” Qu Chong waved his hand, “Now she even dares to enter competitions behind our back? Thinking of pocketing that one million by herself? Mobai, get the legal department to scare this little wench. Also, contact Yilong to have them transfer the one million directly to our company’s account. An Lan’s money is the company’s money.”

“Are we really not leaving her any way out?” Qu Mobai asked.

“She’s a goner anyway, why leave any margin? Don’t even think about her. This little wench, who has been chasing after Chengyu for so many years, is nothing but trashy. The master also mentioned she might die an unnatural death, so don’t send her to any ‘friend’s’ bed. If something goes wrong, it would be troublesome to handle. Just arrange some money-making jobs for her to reduce my losses,” Qu Chong finished speaking, wrapped his arm around Kong Lin, and went to the CEO’s resting room.

Qu Mobai, of course, wouldn’t disturb his big brother’s affairs and continued to watch the video of Shi Lan drawing.

He found it strange why the An Lan in the video seemed like a completely different person from the An Lan before.

Qu Mobai watched the video a few more times, then passed on Qu Chong’s instructions to the legal department.

As for Yilong, they now refused to even answer calls from Tianwang Entertainment.

Because CEO Gao himself was in trouble.

Given prior examples, the one million from Yilong of course would not be transferred to Tianwang Entertainment’s account again.

…

Late at night, the oppressive heat of Yancheng was finally broken by a heavy rain.

However, the indoors might have been cool, but the young lady was awakened by thunder in the middle of the night.

She disliked rain, especially with thunder, as it reminded her of the suffocating feeling of being abandoned in the woods and pursued by people.

Turning to look at Yan Shixiu lying beside her, sleeping peacefully. Feeling discontent, she grabbed her phone from the bedside table and sent a WeChat message to Yan.

Shi Lan, “I don’t like thunder.”

Shi Lan, “Yan Shixiu! There’s thunder!”

Shi Lan, “Thunder!! [smile][smile]”

Yan, awakened by the successive WeChat notifications, took a deep breath, reached for his phone on the bedside table, and after seeing the messages from the young lady, he put down his phone, turned over, and embraced her, covering her ears, “There’s no thunder now.”

“But I still can’t sleep.”

After hearing this, Yan Shixiu remained still. After a good while, he turned on the bedside lamp and sat up to ask, “What do you want to do?”

“Watch a horror movie?”

“Again?”

In the middle of the night, the couple lay on the living room sofa, with an American banned film playing on the TV.

On Yan’s left was the young lady, and on his right was a Ferrari, the two of them and the cat creating a rather cozy scene.

It was just the terrifying sound effects, coupled with the somber visuals, that made the poor, pitiful Ferrari’s fur stand on end.

Yan Shixiu fell asleep as expected, with the young lady nestled in his arms, pulling Ferrari over and occasionally tugging at its little ears.

Oh, you little thing, still vying for affection?

…

The next morning, Shi Lan returned to the set, and as soon as she entered the makeup room, she felt everyone’s warm gazes.

The gossip from last night had been so delightful that everyone was still excited upon seeing Shi Lan herself today.

Chen Beini was even more exaggerated. She had just stepped into the makeup room when she started shouting, “Husband… my awesome husband!”

Shi Lan was embraced by her and sighed helplessly, “Can you let me breathe first?”

Chen Beini oh’ed and promptly let go, “I want to form a permanent ‘cp’ with you, never to separate.”

“‘Smoke’ has less than a month until wrap-up,” Shi Lan cruelly reminded her.

Hearing that there was less than a month until wrap-up, Gu Chengyu, who had just entered the room, seemed somewhat downhearted.

This time he brought soup for Chen Beini himself, without using an assistant.

Chen Beini, ever so carefree, took it and put it aside, saying, “Tell your mom not to send any more, or I won’t be able to be a female celebrity anymore.”

Gu Chengyu didn’t say anything, but nodded.

Ever since Shi Lan had a clear talk with Yan Shixiu, it was as if a switch for emotions was flipped on. Now, even he could see some logic in it.

Despite Chen Beini’s usual carefree demeanor, always either self-deprecating or on the way to self-deprecation, she also had a delicate and righteous side.

She had been shouldering the dual endorsement for Gu Chengyu all along.

As for Gu Chengyu, while both were present, he thought for a moment and then said, “After ‘Smoke’ wraps up, I’ve applied to enlist in the army. These past few years have been aimless, and I’ve completely forgotten how to be a person, so I’ve decided to go to the army to truly experience life. However, it won’t affect our dual shoot. I’ll announce a temporary retirement from the entertainment industry after we finish shooting the material.”

Hearing Gu Chengyu’s decision to enlist, Chen Beini also sobered up, asking, “Why so suddenly?”

Updat𝓮d from frёewebnoѵēl.com.

“It’s not really sudden, because I couldn’t think of any other better option.”

“Have you made up your mind?”

Gu Chengyu hesitated for a moment, but still nodded, “The harm I’ve caused you both, I might never be able to atone for it in this lifetime, so, I want to do something I should do. Two years in the military, and I’ll be back by twenty-five, no worries.”

With Gu Chengyu’s words having reached this point, Chen Beini couldn’t say much else.

The young lady looked at the awkward duo, somewhat understanding the feelings Sun Ling had had when watching her back then.

Shi Lan wondered if she should take advantage of this last period of time to have Dr. Sun help adjust the two. But just then, Dr. Sun rushed in and said to Shi Lan, “Someone from the company came, bypassing Tang Ge, wanting to meet you directly.”

“They want to see me? Six scenes today, let them wait,” Shi Lan said.

Sun Ling’s breathing tightened again, that “skating on thin ice” feeling coming back.

“Boss, are you sure this won’t cause any problems?”

“Don’t you forget who’s paying your salary, what’s there to fear?”

Upon thinking it through, damn, Yan Shixiu is literally her father-figure, what was there for her to fear? So, Dr. Sun’s confidence returned, adopting the boss’s attitude of disregarding kin.

Company coming to show dominance?

Sorry, the boss doesn’t play that game!
