He was wearing a proper white shirt with the top two buttons open, revealing a large patch of his fair chest. Over it, he wore a trendy, black leather vest, paired with black slim-fit trousers and boots.
His distinctive, large hands naturally hanging at his sides, a cigarette wedged between the pointer and middle finger of his left hand.
Zhou Chengyan took a puff periodically, exhaling smoke rings that blurred his exquisite features, casting an intriguing beauty about him. The proud smile playing on the corner of his lips lent him an air of overwhelming arrogance.
Li Heng had three suitcases, two of which were Zhou Chengyan’s. Zhou Chengyan, disliking carrying things, had him take all of them.
"For real, Zhou, what are you doing in Jiangqi City?"
Zhou Chengyan was notoriously easy-going. Jiangqi City was close to Nanshan City, and except for certain work-related matters, he hadn’t even visited Jiangqi City twice. However, this year was different.
Li Heng, not giving up, asked again. He had asked him several times on the plane, but Zhou Chengyan didn’t tell him.
Zhou Chengyan, engrossed in watching the thin smoke curling from the corner of his mouth, didn’t answer until a minute or two later.
"The old man’s coming here for a show, I’m here to have a look."
Li Heng asked incredulously, "Is it that simple?"
"Of course not."
Li Heng: ...
"I’m here to see a woman." 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢
"A woman? Zhou, do you have someone you like?"
Li Heng’s words were met with a snort of laughter from Zhou Chengyan, who picked at his ear: "I don’t like anyone. I just find her interesting. Just looking for some fun when I have nothing to do."
The two men, chatting as they walked, exited the airport and headed for the executive car that had been waiting for them outside.
The people waiting by the executive car bent low in obeisance upon seeing Zhou Chengyan and Li Heng, and relieved Li Heng of the three suitcases he was struggling with.
The group then set off from the airport, taking the main road, and merged back into the thick of car traffic.

Meanwhile.
Elsewhere.
Southwest Entertainment.
Shen Ruchu had called the premier design room early in the morning. As the appointment time drew near, stylishly dressed people were walking in pairs into the office.
On seeing the designers, she let a rare smile light up her face and gestured to an empty space opposite her desk: "Welcome, everyone from Taki."
"Hello, Manager Shen."
"Hi~"
In response to the greetings from everyone in the design room, Shen Ruchu smiled back. Then, she looked at her wristwatch, gauged the time, and placed her hands on her thighs: "I hope you all can create a look that suits me within three hours."
Three hours should be enough. After that, she had to have lunch with the sponsors.
This time, she was determined to outshine that blonde girl.
Upon hearing the time allocated by Shen Ruchu, the faces in the design room froze. The one leading, a young man, said: "Oh, Miss Shen, it might be difficult in such a short period."
Shen Ruchu’s eyebrows furrowed at this: "I believe you can do it."
Then, she drew out her words, adding: "The customer is always right, shouldn’t you be going all out to satisfy your customer?"
The people in the design room didn’t expect Shen Ruchu to react so strongly. All they really wanted was a little more time to do a better job for her, they were in no rush.
Well, how about that.
"We can do it. Within three hours." Even if the outcome won’t be as good.
"Alright, thank you, everyone."
Having achieved her goal, Shen Ruchu’s facial expression changed rapidly. She subconsciously played with her hair, the corners of her mouth curling into a smile: "Please highlight my charisma as much as possible."
To make that damned girl feel inferior.
...
"And, make me look younger."
