Director Chen has just taken office, and the performance inspection of each branch group is far from over. With his frequent comings and goings, everyone in the entire GC Group can clearly see the silver wedding ring on his ring finger.
The first person who saw it suspected that he was dazzled.
"…Is it because I've been working overtime too much lately that my kidneys are damaged and my eyes are blurry? Is there something in Mr. Youhan's hand that shouldn't be there?" In the tea room, a strong glass of mellow black espresso did not awaken Zhou Yi's sluggish consciousness, nor was it enough to save him from the horror he felt when he saw the ring.
This news spread among employees like a plague. Although they tried to restrain themselves, it still spread at an alarming speed from one person to ten people, and even spread from a business group with nothing to do with the business to the entertainment group.
After all, they have seen the world. The business group is still shocked by whether the ring is real or not, while the entertainment group has already started guessing who the other party is.
Due to business reasons, they saw Chen Youhan less often, but heard a lot from him.
Being close to the circle, it is inevitable to hear about his past gossips. This star climbed over his bed, that model couldn't help kissing him in the elevator, and her long legs hooked around President Chen's waist. Even the postures were recorded in detail, as if her eyes were in the camera. He has been very low-key in recent years, and gossip is almost insulated, but no one believes it. They all think that it is just that he has kept it secret. The more this is the case, the more people believe that President Chen must value this lover very much, so he wants to hide her in a golden house.
If you look closely, the last time we heard about him and the entertainment industry was with the new director Pu Ning. As a director, Pu Ning is not bad looking, and it was an open secret in the industry that he tried to please Chen Youhan for the film fund.
"Is it really Pu Ning?"
This speculation is terrifying.
...No, how could a man like him really be willing to get married? It's probably a business marriage, so he'll do it the way he wants.
The performance review meeting was held at the entertainment group, and we heard that a celebrity was coming. Everyone in the tea room was joking and speculating, betting on whether Chen Youhan would take someone with him when he went to the entertainment party that night.
Gu Xiu, along with his president's office and senior management team, greeted him at the elevator entrance, followed by the main creative and starring teams of the two S-level film projects currently being promoted by the group.
At first glance, it is worthy of the words "star-studded".
But capital is greater than starlight.
They didn't have to come, but in the entertainment industry where the sense of smell is sharper than that of a shark, and the power is changing among the top investors, if they don't show their loyalty, they would be simply handing a ladder to their opponents.
Gu Xiu knew Chen Youhan well enough to know that he didn't like to mobilize so many people. But since several project executives agreed, he nodded.
Chen Youhan was right, the annual salary doubled, but this was not a good job. He was not here to pick fruits, but to fucking attack - good guy, he really performed "I treat you as a friend but you treat me as a tool", and he was very handy.
The good thing is that compared to the others who are walking on thin ice, he is much calmer.
GC Entertainment is a relatively new business group, and its most famous project is the New Directors Support Fund. They have focused on the trend of the domestic film market in recent years, which is increasingly focusing on word of mouth rather than blindly focusing on big productions, big crews, big traffic, and big IPs. They focus on art films and niche genre films. Therefore, the directors present today are somewhat immature and reserved like newcomers. The main actors Chen Ji and the popular traffic star Hua Yingyin are the ones who are calm and composed.
Chen Ji's marriage is stable and he is a bit older, so he is probably not Chen Youhan's cup of tea. It's hard to say about Ying Yin. She is beautiful, young, and has ambitions written all over her face. She dares to grab anyone's C position, and she has very good acting skills. It's rare. People in the entertainment industry say that this is a woman who will rush to get the stairs regardless of everything.
Accustomed to a life where someone has to bend over to tie her shoelaces and someone has to catch a date pit when she spits it out, the flower-like female star is now waiting with her waist stiff and legs straight. She hides her impatience in her eyes but dares not show it on her face. She even covers her mouth when she yawns, and even then her agent warns her with a look.
Of course Mai Anyan was more nervous than Ying Yin. It was not like he had never experienced Chen Youhan before.
Chen Youhan walked out of the elevator ten minutes late. His frown disappeared in an instant, and he soon shook hands with everyone in a gentlemanly manner. He has always disdained to be approachable, and his aura was not restrained at all. When he turned to Ying Yin, his eyes were unmoved.
When shaking hands in social situations, if the lady does not extend her hand, it is not appropriate for the man to take the initiative to shake hands.
Ying Yin unconsciously straightened her back and her already straight and slender shoulders, and when she extended her hand, her posture was lazy and slightly arrogant, and her eyes drooped at the corners, which looked innocent. But she only felt the warmth of the other person's palm passing by - Chen Youhan just shook hands with her very briefly, and then turned to the next person.
People in the Vanity Fair have sharp eyes. Ying Yin not only saw the ring on Chen Youhan's ring finger, but also observed that it was made of brushed matte. It was very low-key and elegant, and people couldn't tell the brand. There was a hint of sarcasm in his heart. Marriage? In our entertainment industry, marriage is not worth it.
After a brief exchange of glances, Chen Youhan accused Gu Xiu with a half-smile: "The teachers are all busy people, how can we ask them to spare some time?"
The word "borong" is too heavy, and makes people feel heavy in their hearts.
Gu Xiu immediately said casually: "It was my mistake, I won't do it again."
Chen Youhan then curled his lips and said, "Since you invited Teacher Shen to come here, I'll consider your merits to be offset." Then he turned to the actor and nodded gracefully, "Teacher Shen, nice to meet you. I'm a fan of yours."
If Chen Ji followed up by asking him which movie or role he liked best, the situation would be very awkward. But he was a smart man, and he naturally knew that every word Chen Youhan said was just a polite remark.
It was just a few words of dialogue, and as they walked towards the meeting room, several executives understood what was going on, and the look they gave Gu Xiu had a bit more weight than contempt.
Gu Xiu didn't appreciate the capitalist's kindness and only asked quietly: "Is the ring real?"
Chen Youhan glanced at him and said, "It's fake. I picked it up on the street."
Gu Xiu pushed the issue further and said, "Great, can you pick one for me too?"
"The ring is easy to pick up," Chen Youhan raised his hand and turned the ring, "the person is hard to find."
He did this in a gentlemanly and suave manner, with a sense of casual sexiness.
Gu Xiu was suddenly fed another mouthful of dog food and cursed "damn it" in his heart.
Entering the conference room, all projects were reported in order. The process was lengthy, and it lasted until the afternoon, and finally went straight to sunset. The orange light shone diagonally into the wide French windows across the Xijiang River. Chen Youhan was standing by the window, with his fingers resting on his chin, thinking for a few seconds, and decided on the final amount of follow-up investment.
As soon as the words fell, the eyes of the main creative team lit up. The gold medal agent Mai Anyan immediately stood up and applauded to liven up the atmosphere, and at the same time gently kicked Ying Yin under the table. Ying Yin stood up, and Mai Anyan smiled and said, "Mr. Chen's vision and courage are really beyond reach. Yin Yin, I must toast Mr. Chen a few more glasses tonight!"
It was customary for investors and project creators to have dinner together, but it was also a rare honor. The dinner had been arranged long ago, and Chen Youhan had no intention of declining it, so she just curled her lips nonchalantly.
Everyone filed out, and Chen Ji and Ying Yin symbolically performed some condescending interactions while walking around the building. The atmosphere was lively, but when Ying Yin looked back, she found that the arrogant Chen Youhan was holding up his cell phone in front of the French window.
“…”
Although the sunset was beautiful, she didn't think that such a beautiful view that could be seen every day was worth someone like him turning on his camera.
Ye Kai was packing up his computer and preparing to leave the library for lunch.
Beijing welcomed him with heavy rain. He called a special car and received a WeChat message from Chen Youhan while waiting for the car and watching the rain.
：So beautiful.
He replied sincerely and sent him a photo of Tsinghua University in the pouring rain.
The contrast was too tragic. Chen Youhan couldn't help but purse the corners of his lips and smile. Subconsciously, he put his fingers against his lips.
In fact, he kissed the ring.
Everyone present at this dinner has almost reached the point of vomiting, and everyone hopes that it will end quickly, but on the scene, it seems that everyone is still in low interest and has not finished talking.
Ying Yin is the top lady of Tatsuno brought up by Mai Anyan. She and Ke Yu are two extremes. Ke Yu is extremely disobedient and always pretends to be sick when attending social events, while Ying Yin is extremely obedient. She will definitely be there when the boss is there. But her reputation is actually good, and she is not the type of a man who will climb into bed with a rich man. Mai Anyan knows that she is a rare commodity waiting to be sold at a high price, and it has nothing to do with obedience. If you have to define this kind of relationship, it is probably just coexistence and prosperity.
For example, now, he would definitely not suggest Ying Yin to flirt with Chen Youhan, but he didn't say anything because he knew Ying Yin would pretend not to hear it.
He observed Ying Yin's tactics objectively, and after a few comparisons, he found that the girl was running at full steam today. Compared to her today, she used to be sweet but perfunctory to those bosses, which clearly said, I am trying to please you.
She was restrained today, so restrained that she seemed almost dignified and pure, and her smile and eyes were genuine.
But Chen Youhan only accepted her first glass of wine.
Although it was inappropriate, Ye Kai's face flashed through Mai Anyan's mind.
There was only one Ye family in Ningcheng, and Ye Kai was the young master of that Ye family. The Chen and Ye families were closely related, so Chen Youhan and Ye Kai must have had a good personal relationship. But how could he have suspected that Ye Kai was Chen Youhan's pet canary at that time?
Perhaps, it was the atmosphere between them that allowed no outsiders to interfere that led to his misunderstanding.
When I looked at Ying Yin again, I didn't know why I felt a sense of regret.
It's a pity that she is not really beautiful, nor is she really noble. Even though her cheeks are red because of being tipsy at this moment, and her plump lips are slightly parted, it is said that every man who sees her will unconsciously imagine the feeling of kissing her, the innocent red at the corners of her eyes, her voice is just gentle and not sweet, and there is such a beautiful crystal lamp, plus the so-called "starlight" brought by years of life surrounded by stars, no matter how you look at it, she should be a must-win tonight.
But Mai Anyan knew that she was destined to return in failure.
As expected, Chen Youhan didn't drink any alcohol after that.
The restroom was located on the corridor outside the banquet hall, and when Ying Yin stood up to leave, Mai Anyan saw Shen Ji raise his eyebrows.
Ying Yin happened to bump into Chen Youhan's arms on the corridor. As far as her acting skills are concerned, it was just perfect.
The perfume was carefully selected and applied to the collarbone and the sides of the neck. At this point, what was left should be a faint base note of cardamom and bergamot, hidden in the black, satin-like wavy hair.
When she bumped into someone, panic and shyness flashed across her eyes.
The big, warm hand gently grasped her shoulder and supported her, then she took a half step back without making a sound. Before Ying Yin could react, Chen Youhan smiled slightly and said meaningfully, "Miss Ying is drunk, why don't you go back and rest early?"
Ying Yin looked at his shirt, her face full of apology: "Mr. Chen's shirt...why don't you leave me your contact information and I'll get you a new one later?" She rubbed the lipstick on the shoulder of Chen Youhan's shirt.
"Don't bother." Chen Youhan said in a cold tone, "My wife will take care of it." Then he called the waiter standing not far away, "Bring a shawl to Miss Ying."
Logically, he should have put the cap on her like a gentleman, and they should have reached an ambiguous understanding in this unexpected encounter. But Chen Youhan passed by her without hesitation.
When he returned to the table, Chen Youhan had resumed chatting and laughing with everyone. He put on his suit jacket to hide the faint lipstick marks.
Ying Yin suspected that he had missed something, because suddenly the dinner seemed to have come to an end. Chen Youhan stood at the table and raised his glass to toast with everyone. His tall figure gave people a sense of standing out from the crowd.
She only had time to hear the second half of the sentence, saying, "…the madam will be unhappy."
What would make him unhappy? Maybe it was coming home late, maybe it was drinking too much. In short, when he said that, everyone started to laugh and tease Chen Youhan for marrying young and having a beautiful wife.
Someone took the opportunity to compliment her: "Mrs. Chen is truly blessed."
But Chen Youhan responded with a rare serious look in his eyes: "It's my blessing."
Everyone discovered that this man was nonchalant about everything, and was only truly serious when he mentioned Mrs. Chen.
Because of the seriousness, the feelings conveyed are very precious.
Gu Xiu was the only one who knew the truth, so he got double the dog food. Ye Kai's WeChat message was still on his phone, asking him to take good care of Chen Youhan during the meal.
It is wishful thinking to talk about caring for each other between superiors and subordinates, but Ye Kai's words were gentle and comfortable. Gu Xiu did not have any other feelings and only replied: I will let him drink less.
The company driver had been waiting in the parking lot. After Chen Youhan got in the car, he loosened his tie, raised the fender, and made a video call to Ye Kai.
The heavy rain in Beijing finally stopped at night. Ye Kai had just finished meeting with his senior from TCC and walked out of the main gate of the teaching building. The full moon was reflected in the puddle, forming a half jade-like circle. He held his books and walked along the wet stone brick road to the dormitory building.
The video was picked up and Chen Youhan's face appeared on the screen.
They didn't always have time to video chat. They were busy in the past few days, so they could only greet each other good morning and good night. It was a luxury to connect on the phone. Chen Youhan's tie and collar were very casual, because he was facing Ye Kai, and his expression was rare and relaxed.
"Done?"
"I miss you." Chen Youhan answered the question irrelevantly.
Ye Xin's heart jumped up suddenly, then fell back gently. Then he saw the other party rubbing his eyebrows: "I didn't drink much. I just followed the doctor's orders."
On the screen, the light suddenly jumped from dark to bright. It must be that Chen Youhan turned on the interior lights of the car.
The sufficient brightness revealed more details. Ye Kai narrowed his eyes and stopped halfway. Two seconds later, he continued to walk forward and said, "Brother Youhan, do you have anything to say?"
Chen Youhan half-smiled and sighed, with the kind of helplessness of being extremely tired: "I was entangled by a female star." After saying that, he pointed to the faint lipstick mark on his shoulder, "I am innocent."
Ye Kai stared at him with interest: "Did you take off the ring secretly?"
Chen Youhan laughed and propped up his cheek with one hand: "How dare I?"
The silver ring is indeed eye-catching.
Ye Kai sensed a sense of being offended.
"Being married is nothing in the entertainment industry. The moral perception here is naturally low." Chen Youhan condescended to recall for a moment the expressions of Ying Yin and Mai Anyan when they heard that he was married. He found it very interesting and there was a hint of mockery in his eyes.
Ye Kai didn't feel any sense of crisis, but it was not a good feeling to have his belongings coveted by others. Chen Youhan saw that he looked unhappy and asked, "Is Eleven coming back?"
Students have relatively free schedules. By the end of September, on the afternoon of the last working day, the entire CBD was clearly suppressing a sense of restlessness before the holidays. Under the GC headquarters building, a giant modern platinum sculpture fountain reflected the golden glow under the setting sun, and a Panamera was parked on the inner side of the roundabout. The security guard asked politely, lowered the car window, and handed over a business card from the driver's seat. No one disturbed me after that.
It was almost time to get off work, and there was a constant stream of vehicles and pedestrians coming in and out, all looking at this sports car that blatantly defied the property's parking regulations.
Chen Youhan pushed the meeting forward quickly, and all the attendees noticed his impatience. After the meeting, a senior executive politely asked him if he was interested in participating in a team-building activity tonight. Chen Youhan left with a coffee cup in his hand, holding the cup by the rim with his fingertips, which made him look less dignified and more suave, indicating that he was in a good mood at the moment.
Sure enough, he rejected the invitation in an unusually serious manner, which should have been a casual greeting, with a smile: "No, my wife is waiting for me downstairs."
He answered as he walked out of the conference room. Many people heard him. The air stagnated for a moment, and the sound of typing on the keyboard inexplicably stopped. Two seconds later, the executive coughed and everyone started moving again.
However, the news spread like wildfire. Before Chen Youhan went downstairs, people pretending to be off work had already found the best hidden camera position. The front desk clerk in the lobby on the first floor also accepted the tip-off from an anonymous person and openly slacked off.
...I want to see what kind of angel can put the ring on Mr. Chen’s ring finger.
Chen Youhan stepped into the spotlessly clean revolving door, the door of the Panamera opened, and a young man wearing a simple trendy lettered T-shirt stepped out.
Someone in the dark held his breath—it turned out to be a man!
He was wearing sunglasses, but his facial bone lines were smooth and delicate, and his jawline alone was enough to make people envious and want to be reborn right away. What's more, he was tall and had long legs. Even when he walked just a few steps, his temperament was so noble and aloof that people dared not approach him.
The only one who could get close was Chen Youhan.
The two exchanged seats, Chen Youhan drove the car and the original owner sat in the passenger seat.
When the dark-tinted car windows were rolled up, the people concerned swore that they saw him and Chen Youhan kiss briefly.
Although it was only a blink of an eye and there was some distance between them, the way Chen Youhan took off his sunglasses, revealing an indescribable celebrity-level profile, and how he held his jawline and kissed him gently yet domineeringly, every second and every frame was pure and passionate, and it is unforgettable.
...No matter what, the way Mr. Chen held his black hair on the back of his head with his big hands and kissed him hard, although affectionate, always made people blush, eyes hot and heart beating fast.
The car windows were finally completely closed, blocking all sights and traffic. Ye Kai hooked his ring-wearing finger, his lips slightly swollen from being sucked: "Which star is so self-conscious?"
No, no other star has ever been so overestimating himself.
After all, the holiday was not over yet, and everyone already knew that Director Chen’s “wife” was truly worthy of a ring.
Although - this ring was put on him by Ye Kai when they were making love in bed at the most intense moment.
It is not a formal wedding ring, but a charming declaration of sovereignty and confinement.
Domineering and obscene.
When Chen Youhan was put on, he cursed with a smile: "Damn it."
