"Teacher Mu?"
"them?"
Yan Chongning never expected to hear Mu Fengyin's name at this moment.
He glanced at Cen Yu, wanting to ask something, but ultimately decided against it because the production crew was present. Instead, the production crew took the initiative to explain, quickly telling Cen Yu about their plan to go out together to wake people up early in the morning while he was opening the door.
Yan Chongning's expression softened slightly.
It wasn't that he disliked Mu Fengyin, but... after all, Cen Yu was a newly debuted artist who didn't have any representative works yet. It was fine for him to have interactions with Mu Fengyin and to have a good relationship with him in private, but if every news story was related to him, it would be very detrimental to Cen Yu's future career path.
After all, nobody wants their own celebrity to be automatically associated with someone else when they're mentioned.
Even on-screen couples need to break up, let alone people like them who aren't even a real couple.
Cen Yu pushed open the door and walked in. Today's clothes were all arranged uniformly, and various logos of the program team and sponsors were affixed to them for the convenience of the event. The makeup and hair were also mainly for the convenience of the event.
The makeup artist carefully examined Cen Yu's face and finally decided to apply a simple base, without too much concealer.
My hair was also styled into a slightly wavy, voluminous look...
Cen Yu sat in a chair, surrounded by the production crew taking pictures of her base makeup and fixing her hair. As she closed her eyes, she heard Yan Chongning ask, "Can you paddleboard?"
Cen Yu thought for a second, and while applying his makeup, he could only open one eye to look at Yan Chongning. "I know a little."
"...Don't just pretend you know everything." Yan Chongning was speechless.
While applying makeup to Cen Yu, the makeup artist said, "We don't require you to paddle standing up. You can paddle kneeling, sitting, or crawling, as long as you get to the other side, any position is fine."
"The lake here isn't deep, and there are life jackets..." the makeup artist thought for a moment and said, "It was originally meant to promote the beautiful scenery of this place."
Yan Chongning understood what the other party meant.
The program team organized this activity to showcase the beautiful mountains, rivers, and scenery of the area, so there was basically no danger involved.
But Yan Chongning remembered the information He Ci had given him the night before—
Duan Zhou and Cen Yu became enemies.
This thought gave him a headache. He wasn't worried about Duan Zhou causing trouble; he was worried that Cen Yu wouldn't know his own strength when he retaliated...
Perhaps because Cen Yu has a good foundation, her makeup and hair were done in no time. The group thanked the production team for their styling and makeup, exchanged pleasantries, and then left.
Yan Chongning glanced at the time; it was not yet 6 o'clock, and the paddleboarding activity of the program would not start until 8 o'clock... Just as he was about to speak, he heard that the hotel breakfast had been delivered outside. He could only wait for Xie Jinshen to push the breakfast into the room before he had prepared his speech. Just then, he saw Cen Yu sitting impatiently at the dining table.
“…Never mind,” Yan Chongning said. “Let’s eat first.”
"Bang!"
As the three of them sat down at the dining table, they suddenly heard a slight noise coming from the glass of the terrace outside, as if something had hit it.
Cen Yu immediately pushed back his chair to go and check.
Xie Jinshen stopped him, saying, "I'll go take a look."
After saying that, he walked towards the terrace, and Cen Yu followed behind him... When they got near the terrace, they both saw a stone that had been thrown onto the terrace.
Yan Chongning naturally came over and saw the stone. "A prank?"
Cen Yu didn't open the glass, but just glanced at the stones on the ground. He didn't say anything, but asked Yan Chongning, "Do you have Zhuang Zemin's phone number?"
Yan Chongning was about to say, "Do I know everyone's phone number from my phone book?" when he suddenly remembered He Ci—
He sent a message to He Ci, then looked at Cen Yu suspiciously, "Are you hiding something from me?"
He Ci responded quickly, immediately sending Zhuang Zemin's phone number, followed by another message—
Did Cen Yu offend Zhuang Zemin?
"..." Yan Chongning glanced at the message, too lazy to think about what kind of image Cen Yu had in He Ci's heart, and quickly replied with a message.
【No.】
But it might cause trouble soon.
After transferring the number to Cen Yu, Yan Chongning watched as Cen Yu immediately dialed the number. About half a minute later, Zhuang Zemin answered the phone.
Zhuang Zemin's voice on the phone was cautious, "Who are you?"
"Cen Yu," Cen Yu asked directly, "was your balcony pelted with stones?"
"You got hit too?!" Zhuang Zemin immediately retorted.
"Okay," Cen Yu said. "I know, I'll hang up now."
Before Zhuang Zemin could figure out what Cen Yu knew, Cen Yu hung up the phone.
Yan Chongning, who witnessed everything: "..."
He took a deep breath. "Do you remember that Zhuang Zemin was your senior?"
"There are priorities," Cen Yu argued. "This matter... do you think I should tell the production team?"
Xie Jinshen handed the plate to Cen Yu, indicating that he should eat while he talked.
Yan Chongning also sensed something was wrong. After listening to the staff's explanation, he learned that Cen Yu and Zhuang Zemin went to wake up Ning Yiran, and then the three of them went to wake up Mu Fengyin.
Cen Yu only called Zhuang Zemin but not Ning Yiran, which means one thing.
The problem lies with Ning Yiran.
"What exactly happened?" Yan Chongning frowned. "Is it related to Ning Yiran?"
Cen Yu swallowed the bread that was toasted like a slice of steamed bun, and then took a sip of the orange juice that Xie Jinshen handed him.
Yan Chongning couldn't stand Xie Jinshen's eunuch-like manner of serving his master, so he moved away from the two of them a little. Then he heard Cen Yu say, "It might be related to one of Ning Yiran's former assistants."
He kept it brief, recounting what he had noticed about Ning Yiran's unusual behavior, as well as the matter of the assistant that Zhuang Zemin had mentioned.
Although Yan Chongning had only recently taken over part of Yunxing's business, he had heard about such things to some extent.
"You mean... the reason Ning Yiran is so afraid to see Mu Fengyin is because after the rumors and fans of her and Mu Fengyin started dating, that person went crazy?"
Cen Yu nodded.
Whether it was Ning Yiran's frightened behavior or the fact that the other party had placed many cups in the room to prevent anyone from entering, and that the doors, windows and curtains were tightly closed, it all revealed one fact: that person had already invaded Ning Yiran's life.
Cen Yu glanced at the stones on the terrace.
This is likely a warning from that person to himself and Zhuang Zemin.
"Does this hotel not have surveillance cameras?" Cen Yu couldn't help but ask, otherwise how could they be so blatant?
“There’s a blind spot for surveillance cameras behind the terrace,” Xie Jinshen suddenly said.
Cen Yu looked at the other person.
Xie Jinshen looked away. "I observed it last night."
The terrace has blind spots in the surveillance cameras, but the villa's main gate doesn't—
Ning Yiran's inability to do so was probably not due to a lack of technical skills, but rather because the company was unwilling to cause trouble.
