Su Yang chuckled, her mood much better than before: "Luck alone certainly won't work; you must have performed exceptionally well on set. Once you start filming, I'll definitely watch your movies every day."
At this point, Shen Yuan also spoke up: "Which film crew is it?"
"Hehe, I'll keep it a secret for now. After all, I've only passed the initial screening. The director hasn't notified me to audition yet. I'll only get the role after I pass the audition. I'll come back and share the good news when everything is settled."
Shen Yuan nodded: "That's good. Yan Yan is becoming more and more composed, that's good."
Shen Yuan rarely praises his children in public, so his "not bad" drew the attention of many people present.
After hearing this, Shen Jingxiu quickly glanced at Wen Yan.
Shen Zhirou simply stopped eating.
She had only gone through one interview, yet they praised her as good.
She's been at the company for almost half a month, but all she's received are subtle warnings.
Shen Zhirou's expression immediately turned sour.
Su Yang, however, showed a relieved smile.
However, she didn't show favoritism and immediately replied, "All the children in our family are excellent. Jingcheng recently published two more papers. Although they are academic, I found them quite interesting."
Shen Yuan also said, "I've read it too. His research is very in-depth, which is rare for someone his age."
Wen Yan, the ever-supportive one, naturally wouldn't let the topic fizzle out: "Third Brother is really amazing. I want to listen to his lectures sometime. I've heard his classes are always packed with people. I really want to experience his charm firsthand. Zhi Rou, how about I invite you to come along next time?"
"But I have to work, so I only have time on weekends. Does Third Brother teach classes on weekends?"
"I don't know either, but I can ask Third Brother later."
The family members went back and forth, chatting and laughing, and the previously chaotic atmosphere finally returned to normal.
Wen Yan breathed a sigh of relief.
My mouth is a little thirsty.

After the meal, Su Yang personally brewed tea, and Wen Yan also brought out the desserts she had bought earlier, as if she wanted to continue the lively atmosphere at the dinner table by having a tea party.
This time, Su Yang started the conversation by talking about the entertainment industry. After all, she often interacted with people in the entertainment industry, and she also wanted to take this opportunity to give Wen Yan, the newcomer, some pointers.
As a parent, Shen Yuan also expressed his opinion: "Yan Yan, this circle is very complicated, and there are many people who will take advantage of you. It would be beneficial for you to reveal your identity."
"Mom and Dad are right, but I think it's better to let things take their natural course. There's no need to tell everyone from the beginning that my dad is the chairman of the Shen Group and my mom is a famous designer. What if I don't do a good job? Wouldn't that just bring you trouble and make you the target of ridicule? It's better to be low-key. Besides, my second brother hasn't gone public either. Actually, it's better that he hasn't gone public. Otherwise, he would have been exposed long ago and wouldn't have any privacy left. Besides, I don't want to be a celebrity. I want to be a good actor."
Shen Yuan nodded: "Then have your second brother take good care of you. The production team you're currently in talks with happens to be the same one Jing He is in. Jing He..."
After the meal, Shen Yuan came to his senses. His second son had come back for a long time, so as his father, he should take the initiative.
He planned to use the production team that Wen Yan had contacted as a starting point to see if he could have a deeper conversation with him, whether it was about investing in the film and television works that Wen Yan wanted to make or other aspects.
However, Shen Jinghe's hatred for Shen Yuan was far too deep.
As soon as Shen Yuan called his name, he stood up with a cold face: "I have no obligation to take care of anyone. Whoever wants to take care of someone else can do so themselves. Mom, I'm a little tired. I'll go back to my room to rest."
Wen Yan: …………What a waste, one sentence and we're back to square one.
That's not all.
As soon as Shen Jinghe left, Shen Jingxiu went to his study after receiving a phone call.
Immediately afterwards, Su Yang received another phone call saying she needed to go to the studio to handle an emergency.
It was already dark outside, and Shen Yuan was worried about Su Yang going out alone, so he simply became her driver.
In the end, only Wen Yan and Shen Zhirou remained, sitting face to face.
Wen Yan offered Shen Zhirou a small piece of dessert: "Would you like to try this? It's a popular item online recently, and it tastes pretty good."
Shen Zhirou gave Wen Yan a deep look, then smiled faintly: "Thanks, but I'm trying to maintain my weight, so I won't eat this since it's high in calories. Aren't you going to be in the entertainment industry? You'd better manage your figure well too."
After saying that, Shen Zhirou got up and left.
Wen Yan watched her retreating figure, knowing that Shen Zhirou's words made sense and sounded like a well-intentioned reminder.
But for some reason, Wen Yan felt that the way she looked at her just now wasn't very kind.
After Shen Zhirou left, the huge hall instantly became empty.
Looking at the colorful desserts in front of her, Wen Yan felt it was such a pity.
Especially since these desserts are not cheap, even a small piece costs three figures.
Such expensive and delicious food, yet no one touched it.
That's such a huge waste.
Adhering to the principle of never wasting food, Wen Yan picked up a piece and quickly ran upstairs to the second floor.
Half a month later, she stood at Shen Jingxiu's door once again.
The last time, right after she transmigrated into the book, she was holding a glass of orange juice laced with drugs, preparing to knock out Shen Jingxiu.
But this time, she was just there to feed them.
Unlike last time, this time Shen Jingxiu's door was half open and not closed properly.
From the angle from which Wen Yan was standing, his every move could be clearly seen.
He was talking on his phone while rummaging through a drawer in his bedside table.
His movements were casual yet eye-catching.
Wow, he looks so good even making a phone call with one hand! How does he do that? If he entered the entertainment industry, he'd probably become a top star just based on his looks.
Shen Jingxiu, who was looking for documents, suddenly paused.
He couldn't even hear what the person on the other end of the phone was saying.
Sigh, how come even the slightest pause looks like a frozen silhouette in a magazine? He must have a lot of crushes in the company, maybe even on both men and women.
Shen Jingxiu: ...What on earth is she thinking all day long? Is this how she thinks about everyone, including Shen Jinghe?
Having found the file he needed, Shen Jingxiu hung up the phone.
As soon as he turned around, Wen Yan knocked on his door.
"Hey bro, are you still working overtime?"
"Well, there are still some things I need to take care of."
"I'm here to bring you dessert. I specifically asked them to put less sugar in it, so you can have a small piece if you're working overtime."
Shen Jingxiu originally wanted to refuse, but then he thought about how she had patiently stood outside the door for so long, waiting silently for him to finish his call, if his inner thoughts didn't count as speaking.
He finally nodded: "Okay, thank you."
