After taking her things, Xiao Wanjun drove away from Oriental Entertainment.
Today, he officially joined the cast and crew of "Awakening of Insects".
Jin Chen sat at the modern Chinese-style tea table, watching as Xiao Wanjun leisurely sipped her freshly brewed tea, nodded at him, and asked in a clear, crisp voice, "Why are you so late?"
His tone carried a hint of displeasure.
"Something came up and I was delayed." Xiao Wanjun stepped forward, took the script from the table, and prepared to leave, not wanting to say anything more to him.
He and Jin Chen were not close friends.
They had only met once before this collaboration.
At that time, a spoiled young man cornered him in the restroom and attempted to assault him.
He broke both of the other man's arms.
Jin Chen came out of the toilet stall, glanced at him, and said nothing.
He remained calm, as if he hadn't heard anything.
He did not suffer any retaliation afterward.
He had thought the two of them would never cross paths.
To Xiao Wanjun's surprise, they would one day collaborate.
Jin Chen looked up at Xiao Wanjun; he was aware of the rumors circulating about her these past few days.
Xiao Wanjun arrived late, most likely because she was stopped and harassed by someone.
But—that has nothing to do with him.
Xiao Wanjun only needs to fulfill the contract and perfectly portray the role.
Remembering what He Xiangdi had told him, Jin Chen put down his teacup and offered a token word of advice: "If I were you, I would give him up."
He wasn't afraid of He Xiangdi; the He family and the Jin family were evenly matched, and the other side wouldn't dare to touch him.
But it's better to avoid trouble, so he casually mentioned it, as a way for He Xiangdi to owe him a favor.
Moreover, he also felt in his heart that Xiao Wanjun's choice was unwise.
She ruined her career for a man.
What's so appealing about men?
He didn't understand.
I also felt it wasn't worth it.
"But I am not you." Xiao Wanjun looked at him, her gaze turning cold.
He wasn't surprised that He Xiangdi had asked Jin Chen to act as an intermediary.
He Xiangdi didn't know why he thought he and Jin Chen had a close relationship. Maybe it was because Jin Chen had gone against everyone's wishes and made him the male lead in the new movie at this critical juncture.
He also knew that Jin Chen would not break the contract because of his relationship with He Xiangdi.
Jin Chen is notoriously picky about casting; anyone he approves of must play the role, whether they want to or not.
Jin Chen remained indifferent, as if he didn't care about his answer.
He looked at Xiao Wanjun, his eyes carrying a warning, and said, "Suit yourself, just one thing: while you're on set, you have to act well."
Xiao Wanjun turned and left, leaving him with the words: "I know, Director Jin, no need to remind me."
...
【Protecting the world's best Junjun (643)】
【Drunk in Your Embrace: Sigh, there are fewer and fewer people in the group. More than half of them have left in just two days】
[Rotten Tomato Scrambled Eggs: Hehe, a bunch of fake fans who run away at the slightest trouble. It's better they're not in the group; consider it a purification.]
[Walking with You: Ugh, I'm so angry! I'm so angry! I just argued with a hater who went from being a fan to a hater, and I got ripped off. It makes me so angry just thinking about it. Why can't I even argue?! ??^??]
[JunJun is the best Jun: @WalkWithJun, please message me privately. What's the other person's name?]
"Walking with You" immediately sent the name of the hater to Shi Xi privately.
[Walking with You: Um... Group Owner, do you know what's going on with Junjun? (Polite inquiry, please don't answer if you don't want to.)]
[JunJun is the best Jun: The internet is full of rumors, don't believe them]
[Walking with You: Hmm, good, I'm relieved to hear the group admin say that!]
After thinking for a moment, Shi Xi added, "Don't cry, I'll scold them back for you."
Upon seeing this message, the girl with the online name "Walking with You" paused for a moment, stopped sobbing, and was deeply moved.
Waaaaah, the group admin is so kind...
Shi Xi, holding her phone, launched into a tirade against the hater, then logged off feeling refreshed.
'Knock knock knock—'
A knock came at the door.
\"Enter.\"
Shi Xi turned her phone face down and looked down, pretending to be working on a document in a serious manner.
"Mr. Jiang, the Qin family has sent an invitation. Chairman Jiang wants you to attend on his behalf."
The assistant placed the invitation on the table and subtly glanced at Shi Xi.
If nothing unexpected happens, after the western suburbs project is completed, Chairman Jiang will probably hand over Jiang Sheng Construction to General Manager Jiang.
Shi Xi opened the invitation, calmly read it, and then placed it on the table.
"Okay, I'll go."
Shi Xi was thrilled.
Here it comes, the plot is here!
This is a crucial point in the plot. Qin Huaixi falls in love with Xiao Wanjun at first sight at the banquet. When he learns that Xiao Wanjun is caught in a media storm, he steps in that night to clear up the rumors circulating online.
Xiao Wanjun also developed feelings for Qin Huaixi and began to seriously consider whether her feelings for Jiang Feng were love or just a passing gratitude...
The assistant was full of admiration for his composure.
This is an invitation from the renowned Qin family, personally delivered to the company's front desk by Qin Huaixi's personal secretary!
This is the first time Jiang Sheng Construction has received such a prestigious invitation.
Despite his composure, General Manager Jiang remained remarkably calm, prompting the assistant to exclaim, "With General Manager Jiang around, Jiang Sheng Construction has a bright future!"
Unable to contain his excitement, the assistant took out his phone and sent a message in the company gossip group—
[Great news! The Qin family has personally delivered an invitation to Jiang Sheng Construction!]
...
Meanwhile, Shi Xi was unaware that she had already shouldered the heavy responsibility of "leading Jiang Shengji to grow bigger and stronger, and standing shoulder to shoulder with the Qin family enterprise".
After signing the documents and processing the quarterly reports, I slacked off for a while and played a few games before it was time to leave work.
Shi Xi happily turned off the office lights and drove to pick up Xiao Wanjun.
Shi Xi put on her Bluetooth headset and dialed Xiao Wanjun's number.
"Wan Jun, are you done with your work?"
"...Not yet." Xiao Wanjun's environment was somewhat noisy, with staff members' voices constantly coming through. "I estimate it will be another hour before I can get off work."
Shi Xi leaned back in the driver's seat, glanced at the travel time displayed on the navigation, and said, "It's about time. I'll come pick you up."
"Okay." Xiao Wanjun's lips curled up slightly.
...
After Xiao Wanjun hung up the phone, she saw Jin Chen next to her frowning slightly, looking somewhat puzzled.
He asked, "Do you usually talk to him like this?"
Why speak so gently to a man?
He was cold and distant to the charming female lead while acting, but turned around and spoke softly to a man.
Is this how it is in their gay community?
"Director Jin, you should focus on filming and stop gossiping." Xiao Wanjun put away her phone, and the smile on her face disappeared.
"The next scene needs to be done quickly; he's coming to pick me up later."
Jin Chen: "..."
Who are you talking to, me or you who's the director?
You're just taking advantage of the fact that I chose you to be my male lead.
