Is this something he should be meddling in?
Huo Chenyu turned away with an air of arrogance.
Tang Li arranged to meet him at their usual spot.
Tomorrow at 3 PM.
After receiving a reply, Huo Chenyu put his phone in his pocket and instructed Jiang Mian:
Call me in half an hour.
Jiang Mian dared not say another word and could only nod.
Only after Huo Chenyu's figure completely disappeared from his sight did he set two alarms, recline his chair, and take a quick nap.
Huo Chenyu stood at the door for a long time before finally ringing the doorbell.
Tonight, Lin Yiyun deliberately sent her assistant Nanzhi away, wanting to be alone with Huo Chenyu.
They waited all night.
Looking at the time on her phone and then at the sky outside, Lin Yiyun still went to open the door with a joyful heart.
It's very cold outside. It snowed all night, and the neighborhood is already covered in white.
When Huo Chenyu came in, he brought with him a chill. Lin Yiyun reached out to help him take off his coat, but Huo Chenyu took a small step back to avoid her.
"Go get me a glass of hot water."
The implication is that I can take off my clothes myself.
Lin Yiyun poured him a glass of 55-degree warm water. As a female celebrity, she didn't have the luxury of indulging herself. She almost never touched cold water throughout the year, drinking 45-degree water in the summer and 55-degree water in the winter.
The water was placed in front of Huo Chenyu. Looking at the pink cup, Huo Chenyu did not reach out to take it.
Thinking he didn't like sharing a water glass with her, Lin Yiyun silently turned around and replaced it with a clean glass with a glacier pattern. The water in the glass looked like diamonds, which was very beautiful.
Huo Chenyu still didn't drink.
After Tang Yuan's accident, he came to Weiran Waterside many times, but each time he did not touch a drop of water. He would carefully refuse anything Lin Yiyun offered him.
Even the time for arriving here was strictly controlled.
He could always find an excuse to leave in no more than forty minutes.
This time was no exception.
So he got straight to the point: "Regarding the plagiarism of the Oasis Night dress."
Before he could finish speaking, Lin Yiyun timidly sat down in front of him and obediently apologized:
"I did something wrong. I'm too strict with them and always want them to win on the red carpet, which led them to resort to plagiarism. Big brother, I will apologize on live stream and won't make things difficult for you."
Has she suddenly become so sensible?
Huo Chenyu, on the contrary, had a bad feeling.
Lin Yiyun was used to being arrogant and domineering, so he didn't think much of it.
At least she used to wear her heart on her sleeve, unlike now, where it's impossible to guess what's on her mind.
As Lin Yiyun spoke, she squeezed out two tears.
“Since returning from Oasis Night, I’ve been sitting here thinking and thinking. At first, I felt wronged. I paid Julie to be my personal stylist and trusted her completely, but she betrayed my trust and put me in an unfair position. I was angry and furious and refused to admit that it was my own fault.”
"But as I looked out the window at the white snowflakes covering the earth, I suddenly remembered when Julie first came to my side. She was also a dreamer who was wholeheartedly passionate about design and eager to make a name for herself with me."
“It was my harshness that forced her to take shortcuts. In the end, I was wrong first, so I should apologize.”
These words, at first glance, seem sincere and heartfelt.
Since taking over the Huo family business, Huo Chenyu has dealt with numerous crises and difficulties, both large and small.
Her explanation was clearly prepared in advance by someone.
A typical crisis communication statement.
She portrayed a deep bond between master and servant, making the audience feel that she was actually innocent and a victim, yet she didn't take advantage of Julie's misfortune; instead, it gave the impression of an amicable parting.
It has to be said that the person who gave her the advice behind the scenes was very clear about the saying "taking a step back leads to a brighter future".
Since that was the case, Huo Chenyu said no more.
He simply said:
"The live stream will be at 6 PM. Have your agent communicate with Tang Sui."
6 PM today?
Lin Yiyun carefully observed Huo Chenyu's expression; he seemed indifferent to whether the matter was right or wrong.
Is there any particular custom for 6 PM?
Lin Yiyun originally planned to apologize in the morning.
The longer you delay dealing with this crisis, the worse it will be for you.
Especially now that there are a large number of online trolls attacking and discrediting her.
Huo Chenyu said calmly:
"Lan Ge's flight lands in Tanzhou at 4 PM. I've asked her to come back and do your personal makeup and styling. When she joins your team, let's make sure the news coincides with your live stream schedule."
Blue Pigeon?
A renowned stylist, designer, and top-notch photographer?
She has always served the biggest stars.
Lin Yiyun was somewhat flattered, and she asked naively:
"Wouldn't that be too unfair to her?"
Lin Yiyun is aware that she is not a big star.
Huo Chenyu met her eyes:
"I will make up for the loss of face you suffered at Oasis Night and the negative news that came with your live apology. I will have Jiang Mian coordinate with your agent regarding the press release about Blue Pigeon's employment."
Happiness came so suddenly.
Lin Yiyun was overjoyed that a live apology could earn her such blatant pampering from Huo Chenyu. This was Huo Chenyu's first attempt at portraying himself as a doting husband. Lin Yiyun was so nervous that she didn't know where to put her hands.
Her voice trembled slightly as she asked:
"Big brother, what should I do next?"
Should we hold a grand welcoming ceremony for Blue Dove?
Or should we keep it low-key and invite her out for a meal?
"You don't need to do anything, just rest well," Huo Chenyu said, then checked the time.
Ten minutes have passed since I met Jiang Mian.
When Jiang Mian's call didn't come, Huo Chenyu got up on his own:
"I have an international video conference this morning, so I'll be leaving now."
Forty-one minutes have passed.
This is not a good sign.
In the kitchen, the dinner Lin Yiyun had ordered in advance had gone cold, the late-night snack she had carefully prepared was uneaten, and the porridge she had cooked in the early hours of the morning was still piping hot.
"Big brother, have some hot porridge before you go."
He always came at irregular times and left in a hurry.
Lin Yiyun grabbed his arm and said coquettishly, "For the first snow in Tanzhou, my friends are all drinking the first cup of milk tea of winter and having the first hot pot on a snowy day. Big brother, please stay and have a bowl of porridge with me this morning."
Judging from the aroma, the pot must be simmering with apricot and millet porridge.
Huo Chenyu pushed her hand away, politely declining:
"No, I'm allergic to almond milk."
Are you allergic?
Didn't he used to really like drinking apricot and millet porridge?
Lin Yiyun felt wronged, but dared not expose the truth, so she could only apologize:
"I'm sorry, I didn't know you were allergic to almond milk."
Huo Chenyu said it was alright and then pushed open the door and left.
Lin Yiyun, left with mixed feelings of joy and sorrow, watched him enter the elevator with tears in her eyes.
Inside the car, a poor wretch whose bonus was in jeopardy was fast asleep on the reclined seat.
