Chapter 2: The accident really wasn't meant to draw my attention? ...
The crystal chandeliers in the banquet hall were dazzling, and people were interweaving below: men in suits and ties, and women in elegant clothes, holding champagne glasses and chatting.
Shi Sanlin came prepared with Yu You this time, and shamelessly followed his sister Shi Shuang to recognize him.
His sister brought the popular top star to greet the well-known producer, and Shi Sanlin took the opportunity to go over and introduce Yu You.
For Shi Shuang's sake, the producers didn't embarrass him and responded with a smile, but they didn't take him seriously either.
Shi Sanlin was worried that Yu You was too young and too shy to handle the situation, so he whispered to him, "We're just here to meet people and see how they look. Don't think too much and just relax."
Yu You's cheeks flushed red, and he responded obediently: "I know, thank you Brother Shi for your trouble."
Shi Sanlin couldn't help but sigh in his heart - such a good child, he really found a treasure.
Shi Shuang had something to discuss later, so Shi Sanlin took Yu You to wait nearby.
After a round of socializing, Shi Sanlin felt hungry, so he went to the food bar and ate the ham and cheese rolls and salmon bruschetta.
Yu You had no appetite and was left alone in a secluded corner. He looked listless and his forced calm face showed a hint of fragility. He reached out and gently touched his neck.
Not only did his body temperature not go down, but it rose again, as if the antipyretics had no effect at all. His cheeks were burning hot, and there was a slight swelling on the side of his neck, and he felt a wave of discomfort.
As he was hesitating, the entire banquet hall suddenly became restless.
Yu You raised his head and saw the people around him whispering to each other and looking in the same direction. Some celebrities in particular looked excited and couldn't suppress the gossip in their eyes.
All eyes were focused on the man in the center.
He has sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, a stern profile, thin pale pink lips tightly pursed, and a low-key aura, making him look like someone who is not easy to mess with.
He was wearing a casual satin shirt, and a waiter who bumped into him spilled half a glass of champagne on him, soaking the fabric and revealing the outline of his strong chest muscles underneath.
Shi Sanlin rushed over and stood beside Yu You, holding a plate in one hand and a small fork in the other. His mouth was stuffed with food and he spoke incoherently with a hint of fear: "That's President Jiang!"
Jiang Xunzhou's identity was there, and there was a space around him.
Not far away stood a young waiter with a handsome face and a thin waist made by his black tuxedo.
He bowed repeatedly, his face flushed. "Boss Jiang, I'm so sorry, I'll compensate you for your shirt. I'm a college student, working part-time here. I'm new here, so I'm a bit clumsy..."
Those eyes were sparkling with a pitiful look that made people feel distressed.
Jiang Xunzhou was standing next to a friend who was watching the fun without thinking it was too much. "Oh my, so pitiful! Mr. Jiang, you have a big family and a big business, so don't bother with a student."
The waiter replied timidly, "No, no, no, I have to compensate you. Although I'm poor, I have my dignity. Even if I have to work three jobs a day, I will compensate Mr. Jiang..."
Most of the people who came to the banquet today were bigwigs in the circle. They could see the mystery inside and held back their laughter, ready to watch the show.
Shi Sanlin shook his head and sighed, "Why is this kid so desperate? He chose this method. Isn't this asking for trouble?"
As expected, Jiang Xunzhou looked the waiter up and down, his thin lips slightly curled, and his tone was casual: "Really? It's good to have such determination."
He glanced at the assistant next to him.
The assistant understood and stepped forward, pushing up his silver-rimmed glasses. "Hello, I'm Mr. Jiang's assistant. We can discuss the rest later. Mr. Jiang's shirt is the latest model from the show, priced at 68,000 yuan, and the invoice is complete."
Under the waiter's dull gaze, the assistant politely extended his hand.
He smiled and said, "Let's go over to the side and discuss the compensation issue in detail. Don't worry, our CEO Jiang often encounters this kind of thing and has considerable experience and a fixed process. I've prepared several installment compensation plans for you to choose from..."
The organizer of the banquet walked towards Jiang Xunzhou and apologized with a smile on his face, saying that he had failed to supervise him properly and arranged for someone to take him to the lounge upstairs.
Going upstairs required passing by the dining bar. Shi Sanlin realized belatedly that he should have pulled Yu You away quickly. Turning around, he saw that Yu You's cheeks were abnormally red. He asked in surprise, "Xiao Yu, are you okay?"
Yu You's figure swayed slightly, and he felt dizzy. He whispered, "Brother Shi, I don't feel well."
Shi Sanlin was a little anxious: "Can you still hold on? We only have one director left, and we're mainly here for him."
Yu You also knew that Shi Sanlin had run a lot of connections for today's banquet. Even though he was a little unsteady on his feet, he nodded and agreed: "...Yes."
The staff arranged by the organizer led Jiang Xunzhou to the stairs and passed by them.
Jiang Xunzhou suddenly stopped and raised his eyebrows slightly: "Shi Sanlin?"
Shi Sanlin only then noticed Jiang Xunzhou. It was too late to hide, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "Hello, Mr. Jiang."
Jiang Xunzhou looked at Yu You behind him thoughtfully: "Is this your new artist?"
Shi Sanlin introduced timidly: "Yes, Mr. Jiang, this is my new artist, Yu You."
"What tricks are your artists planning to pull this time?" Jiang Xunzhou scoffed. "Don't try to stop the car like you did last time. You scared me."
"Boss Jiang, you're joking. The previous few times were just accidents. Our Xiao Yu is an honest child and would never do such a thing." Shi Sanlin turned around and looked at Yu You, "Xiao Yu, come and say hello to Boss Jiang."
You can hide when no one sees you, but now he's right in front of you, there's no reason not to say hello to the boss.
There was music playing in the banquet hall and many people were talking, making Yu You's head buzz. He could barely hear what Shi Sanlin was saying. He felt dizzy and took two steps towards Jiang Xunzhou.
"Hello, Mr. Jiang, I'm Yu..."
Before he could finish his words, Yu You's vision went dark, he lost consciousness, and fell straight into Jiang Xunzhou's arms.
Jiang Xunzhou had encountered similar situations countless times and subconsciously wanted to move aside, but his nose moved and he smelled a faint scent of iris.
Unlike the sweet perfume that usually annoyed him the most, the scent of iris was like a soft snow mist, so fresh and refreshing that it made people feel dazed.
His gaze fell and rested on Yu You's face.
Her long, thick black eyelashes trembled gently like butterfly wings, her cheeks were flushed with a beautiful rosy glow, her lips were red and her teeth were white. She was absolutely beautiful, transcending gender boundaries and making people dizzy.
With a palm-sized face, he looks very young.
Are you an adult?
Jiang Xunzhou couldn't help but think.
In this moment of hesitation, the boy fell into his arms with a thud and showed signs of sliding down.
Jiang Xunzhou almost instinctively stretched out his arms to catch him, hugged him tightly, and clasped Yu You's waist with his slender fingers.
Shi Sanlin, who was standing next to him, let out a terrified howl like a pig being slaughtered during the New Year, his face full of despair of being fired and kicked out of the company. He pulled Yu You back with lightning speed.
Before Jiang Xunzhou could even react, his arms felt empty. Only a faint scent of iris lingered at the tip of his nose, reminding him that it was not a dream.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Jiang! The child was not feeling well today and had a fever. I forced him to come out for a social event! It was an accident just now!——"
Shi Sanlin apologized repeatedly.
Yu You was pulled back and forth, and his consciousness became clearer. His voice became hoarse as he apologized along with Shi Sanlin: "...I'm sorry, Mr. Jiang."
"Okay, another accident."
Jiang Xunzhou glanced at the collar of Yu You's dress, nodded leisurely, and said slowly: "Then spraying such a strong perfume and specially choosing this brooch is just a coincidence. It's not intentional to attract my attention, right?"
A huge pot fell from the sky, hitting Yu You so hard that his cat-like eyes widened slightly and he was stunned.
Who put on perfume?
The original owner donated all his savings to the welfare home. After he came here, he had to borrow some pocket money from his agent. Now all his belongings combined cannot even buy a bottle of perfume.
Yu You looked down at the iris enamel brooch pinned on his collar and felt even more confused.
How did this brooch offend Jiang Xunzhou?
He chose this brooch simply because his pheromone is the scent of iris.
Jiang Xunzhou opened his thin lips slightly, his attitude was contemptuous, and his words were blunt: "Little friend, since you have joined Xingtian Entertainment, you should read the employee code of conduct several times, focus on the business, and stop thinking about taking such crooked paths."
Yu You was completely confused.
Jiang Xunzhou didn't say much and walked up the spiral staircase.
Yu You was dazed and asked Shi Sanlin blankly, "Brother Shi, what did Mr. Jiang just say?"
Shi Sanlin looked regretful. "I forgot. President Jiang hates irises the most. Whenever our company orders flowers for events, we always tell the florist that they don't want irises."
"Even I can't wear a brooch?" Yu You was a little annoyed. "Just because he doesn't like it, he won't allow irises to appear anywhere he can see them?"
Shi Sanlin looked around, chuckled again, and lowered his voice: "There's nothing I can do. This is President Jiang."
Yu You stared at Jiang Xunzhou's back, feeling indignant.
Who is this?
autocratic.
Arrogant.
Anyone who passes by him will be considered to have bad intentions and agenda towards him.
The information said that Jiang Xunzhou was twenty-four or twenty-five, only three, four, five or six years older than him. How dare he call him a kid?
Also, why don’t you like irises?
Yu You stared angrily at Jiang Xunzhou's departing back. There was a constant buzzing sound in his ears like a swarm of bees. His body swayed and he almost fell down again.
Shi Sanlin supported him and said worriedly, "Are you feeling so uncomfortable? I'll take you to the hospital."
A little sweat oozed from Yu You's forehead, and he tried hard to stay awake: "Brother Shi, you said there is another director..."
Shi Sanlin quickly said, "It's okay. We can find a chance to visit him later. The campus drama he's about to start filming has our investment, so it won't be a problem to squeeze you in a small role."
Yu You no longer insisted and nodded: "Okay."
He was also secretly worried, wondering if it was just a normal fever, or the...passionate period he was worried about.
