Chapter 35 [2nd update, 9000 nutrient solution extra update]

Shen Yunhe spent several days in fear.

She didn't know what other tricks Shen Yuntang had in store for her, whether Gu Lan would bring her up in public and compare her with him, or whether her own resources would be taken away by Gu Lan.

But surprisingly, apart from some netizens who criticized the perfumes endorsed by her and Gu Lan, it seemed that public opinion did not stir up a large scale and it was still within her tolerable range.

The loss of fans doesn't seem to be obvious.

After all, three years have passed, and no one knows whether Gu Lan still has the same professional ability as before. Feelings are feelings, and popularity is popularity. As long as Gu Lan does not have any works for a while, it will be difficult to compete with her.

So Shen Yunhe put her mind at ease for the time being and concentrated on preparing for the exhibition at home.

After all, as a spokesperson, she also had to walk the red carpet and be interviewed at the exhibition.

With the rise of domestic brands in recent years, this exhibition has received more and more attention, and has almost become the default annual key new product launch conference for many brands.

Various spokespersons also want to compete with each other.

And most importantly, the booths for this exhibition need to be applied for a long time in advance, and they can only be obtained after going through layers of approval. This year, Shen Yunhe used a lot of connections to negotiate a Class A booth for Shen Anguo, but because of the long delay, he almost missed it.

This meant that the newly created extraordinary perfume had absolutely no time to get a booth.

She will not face off against Gu Lan at the exhibition, and as two actresses who announced the same type of endorsements at the same time and have a delicate relationship, the different treatments of Shen Yunhe and Gu Lan can be compared again. She can use this to fight back and reverse the defeat she suffered at the hands of GG of Bufan Perfume recently.

So what if I spend a lot of money on GG? So what if I make a sensational GG design? So what if I use Gu Lan as a spokesperson?

Some things cannot be obtained with just a little money.

This is the heritage of an established company.

Shen Yunhe let out a long sigh.

On the other side, Shen Yuntang was inspecting the exhibition site.

Although she expected Huo Yuyan not to give her a perfunctory answer, she still felt more at ease after taking a look at the booth layout in person.

Given Huo Yuyan's aesthetic taste, what if he gave her a big red hydrangea to cut the ribbon?

As she walked, she suddenly stopped and looked at one of the booths.

This booth is right across from the largest booth, but it's half the size, has no wind protection, and may leak on rainy days.

And because it is located at a corner, it seems to be in a good location, but in fact it is difficult to see it at first glance no matter which direction you come from.

And because this booth is very close to the central area, it is marked as Super A Class. For those who don’t know the inside story, it sounds like it’s hard to get a spot.

The staff member was following her cautiously, but when they suddenly saw her stop, they became even more cautious.

She never thought that Mr. Huo's wife would suddenly be interested in visiting the booth.

When they heard the news, all the site staff were stunned. Mr. Huo seldom came to inspect himself, so why did his wife come to inspect?

When they heard Mr. Huo's instructions later - "Don't make her angry", they suddenly felt scared.

Could it be that Mr. Huo is still controlled by his wife? !

So what was Mrs. Huo doing here? Could it be that she had a favorite brand or a stake in one, and she came to check out the location and get first-hand information?

The staff member thought about this and saw her eyes fall on the sign of "Super A-class Booth". He quickly stopped her and said, "Mrs. Huo, this booth looks high-end, but it's actually not good. Although it's close to the center, it's at a corner, and it's surrounded by national brands with super large booths. People's attention will be diverted as soon as they come in. This booth was originally intended for distributing gifts and souvenirs."

"That's it?" Shen Yuntang asked.

The staff nodded hurriedly, fearing that she would take notice of them. Afterwards, Mr. Huo went home and knelt in front of the keyboard to scold her.

Then the lady picked up the phone without blinking and said, "Huo Yuyan, the Super A-class booth No. 98 is given to Anguo Daily Chemicals."

Staff: “……?”

Is this a favor or a grudge?

Next, she heard a conversation that terrified her.

Huo Yuyan did not admit that he actually had expectations for Shen Yuntang when he answered the phone.

He paused, and suddenly let out a long breath, and said with a heavy heart: "Ms. Shen, I am your tool, right?"

"What do you think?"

"..." Huo Yuyan was about to say something, but stopped. He slowly closed his open mouth and remained silent for a moment. His voice became weaker and weaker. Suddenly, he toughened up for a moment, "...I thought we were at least partners."

Shen Yuntang said "hmm", his voice sweet: "Yes, Mr. Huo, Mr. Huo has the most partners, how could I be missing?"

"...Don't be sarcastic to me, Shen Yuntang!"

"You said I was being weird?"

“…”

"Are you tired of me?"

Huo Yuyan was speechless and had no idea how things could escalate to this level in just two sentences. He felt that her next sentence might be about divorce.

He just tried to defend himself when Shen Yuntang hung up the phone.

Huo Yuyan was so angry that he couldn't eat.

He put down his chopsticks and raised his eyes, only to see two pairs of eyes staring at him.

“…”

Huo Yuyan was silent for a moment. It was rare for him to receive so much attention in his family. He said uncomfortably, "Mom? Dad? Why are you looking at me?"

Mr. Huo glanced at Ms. Tang before he spoke: "My daughter-in-law?"

Ms. Tang also stared at him.

Huo Yuyan: "..."

Mr. Huo couldn't help but ask, "If you don't bring your daughter-in-law here, what are you going to eat when you go home?"

"…Isn't she a busy person?"

"Why can't you pick a time when she's free? Why do you have to come back today?" Mr. Huo said, "You're the only one who has nothing to do and is running around all day, right?"

As he spoke, he took the sour soup fish in front of Huo Yuyan back and put it on his side, muttering, "What a waste."

Huo Yuyan couldn't help it, "Didn't you guys not come to the wedding? Do you want to see her so badly now?"

Mr. Huo argued: "How can it be the same? She was not my daughter-in-law at that time. It was your wedding, not my daughter-in-law's wedding. Didn't I have to go to the airport to pick up the flowers that your mother had flown back?"

"What do you mean by my wedding? She can't get married without me? Do you want to attend her second wedding?" Huo Yuyan found it unbelievable. Having studied science in middle school and business in university, he could no longer tolerate this logic. He was about to question loudly when his mother stopped him with a look.

Mr. Huo had someone to back him up, so he was no longer afraid of the boy's questioning. Instead, he asked, "Is my daughter-in-law pretty?"

“…Don’t you have all the photos?”

"I'm asking about the real person, how can it be the same? Can a photo be as good-looking as the real person?"

Huo Yuyan was choked by him and was about to get back at him, but then he remembered the selfies that Shen Yuntang had posted on his Moments and forced him to like them.

...How should I put it, it seems that she is indeed not as good-looking as the real person.

Actually, she is quite photogenic, but I don’t know why, the photos always lack her real character.

Huo Yuyan thought about it, but couldn't figure it out at first.

It wasn't until his biological father asked him this that he suddenly realized.

Shen Yuntang's smile in the photo was too sweet and fake, lacking her own arrogance and sarcasm.

Sneer is the soul of Shen Yuntang.

Huo Yuyan came back to his senses and heard his father still nagging his daughter-in-law. His ears were almost callused from hearing it, so he could only say speechlessly, "Beautiful."

Mr. Huo was shocked. "It's a pity that she is not worthy of you. Huo Yuyan, you have to treat her well. Did she ask you to do something just now? Do it quickly! What if she doesn't want you anymore?"

“…”

He wanted to throw his chopsticks away again and left.

Huo Yuyan is isolated and helpless in this family.

Shen Yuntang has been preparing for the exhibition for several days.

Gu Lan's former friend contacted her and extended an olive branch. She decided to take on a movie first and polish a masterpiece. She secretly joined the crew a few days later.

It was not until the day before the exhibition that she asked for leave from the crew and went to the site with Shen Yuntang to check out the location.

Gu Lan couldn't help but feel a little worried on the way: "Can we get in? I heard that such venues are not open to the public in advance."

Shen Yuntang remained calm: "It doesn't matter, I have a backer."

Gu Lan was stunned.

It was not until she saw the staff hurriedly opening the door to let them in that Gu Lan realized what it meant to have a backstage supporter.

What this means is that in such a large venue, others would have to ask for help from everyone to get a small booth, but they could choose any booth they wanted.

Gu Lan was still shocked until she reached the huge booth in the center.

Shen Yuntang said: "This is our territory."

She waved her hand and the staff quickly came up and put an "occupied" label on it.

She took Gu Lan to see the red carpet again.

"This area," she pointed, "I will have the media stationed here. If your car comes over there and faces the camera, this entire road will be yours."

As Gu Lan continued to be dazed, Shen Yuntang continued, "Shen Yunhe is coming from that side, so we might be confronted. Be as ostentatious as possible tomorrow. You have to step on her face with every step you take. Do you understand?"

Gu Lan said dully: "The meaning of letting the media stationed in this area is..."

"For now, this venue is under my command." Shen Yuntang crossed his arms and said, "This is our home court. It would be unreasonable to embarrass ourselves, right?"

In the twilight, her matter-of-fact look was as dazzling as a luster.

She stood at the end of the red carpet and pushed Gu Lan.

"Go ahead." She raised her chin and said, "Go back to your world and be the queen who crushes everything."

Shen Yunhe started preparing for the red carpet early in the morning.

The styling team came hurriedly and spent most of the day working on her styling, making sure she would steal the show.

While she was still applying eyelashes, Shen Yunhe received a call from her father.

"Hello, Dad?"

"Yun He, the guy you found is really capable!" Shen Anguo could clearly hear the joy in his voice, and said, "Today he suddenly said that a super A-class booth has been vacated, and he reserved it for us!"

Shen Yunhe was stunned for a moment, then she was also delighted, and then she said reservedly: "He is indeed very capable. I have also told you that Mr. Ye seems to have some relationship with the organizer."

"Ye Jinze is really young and promising. He can even get a booth like this. By the way, Yunhe, is he interested in you?"

Shen Yunhe was a little embarrassed and annoyed, "Dad, what are you talking about? Mr. Ye and I are just friends."

After a pause, she covered her lips and whispered, "I heard that he and his ex-wife just divorced. Don't always match them up with other people."

"Divorced? That's a bit old, but he has the ability, which is not bad."

Shen Yunhe endured it and decided not to argue with him.

Thinking that she would be able to slap Gu Lan in the face today, she couldn't help but feel excited.

After being suppressed by Gu Lan for so many years, it was finally time for her to defeat her.

Shen Yunhe finally finished her look and looked at herself in the mirror with satisfaction before getting in the car and heading to the scene.

Shen Yuntang on the other side was also making preparations.

Although she doesn't walk the red carpet, what's the point of going out if she doesn't have an exquisite hairstyle with her hair pointed?

Because the exhibition opened today, Huo Yuyan also wanted to go and take a look. Thinking that Shen Yuntang was also going there, he stayed and waited for her.

But he forgot that Shen Yuntang was still angry about the sarcastic behavior he had done last time.

So they left him downstairs waiting for three hours.

Huo Yuyan remained silent, crossed his hands and propped up his chin.

He thought about this question for a long time without realizing it.

Why did he feel that Gu Lan was much more important than him in Shen Yuntang's heart?

Look at her arranging the red carpet and the media, and then look at him being left waiting downstairs by her, fit only to be a tool to obey her orders. What exactly is he to Shen Yuntang?

Isn't he Shen Yuntang's husband? He is a wild man and a wild woman outside, why didn't he think of the other one at home?

Is he so unworthy?

It's not that he's jealous or anything. He's not jealous at all. He just feels that his status is too low. Who else has such a miserable life? Except his father.

It’s like you have an obedient and capable big dog at home, but you still go out to pet this wild dog and play with that wild cat. What’s the matter? Is one not enough?

...No, he was just making a simple analogy, he didn't mean to compare himself to any animal.

The more Huo Yuyan thought about it, the angrier he became. He actually got brave enough to let go of his hands, propped himself up on his knees, and went upstairs to find Shen Yuntang.

Miss Shen from the family was closing her eyes while the makeup artist was applying setting powder on her. The makeup artist was very careful and covered her eyes for fear that her hands would shake and the powder would be applied crookedly.

Hearing the footsteps behind him, Shen Yuntang said without opening his eyes, "Bring my shoes here."

Huo Yuyan paused in anger: "..."

He was silent, as if he wanted to say something, but then he told himself that it was okay and it wouldn't take much time to just take the shoes over first.

Huo Yuyan looked to the side and saw a dozen shoe boxes piled against the wall. Those were the "pairs of shoes" that Shen Yuntang mentioned.

He was silent for a moment, and repeatedly told himself that he would have to confront Shen Yuntang anyway, so it didn't matter what time it took.

Huo Yuyan put all the shoe boxes at her feet.

The makeup artist finally finished her makeup, and Miss Shen finally opened her eyes.

She saw Huo Yuyan in the mirror and was surprised for a moment, "Why don't you leave?"

"...You really want me to leave, don't you?"

Huo Yuyan's rebelliousness also came up. He felt that this was the toughest moment he had been in the past few months. He supported the back of Shen Yuntang's chair with both hands, lowered his head slightly, and said to her in a deep voice: "Do you still remember who I am?"

Shen Yuntang tilted her head to check her hair in the mirror and licked her lipstick, her expression not changing at all, "Huo Bi. What's wrong, little Huo Bi?"

She raised her eyes, and because she was too close, her long eyelashes were about to brush Huo Yuyan's face. She looked at him expressionlessly.

The breath Huo Yuyan had just taken in stagnated due to grief and anger, and he couldn't exhale.

He felt that he had been stunned by Shen Yuntang's anger. After he recovered from his breath, he said without thinking: "I am you——"

Then it got stuck.

Shen Yuntang paused, crossed his arms calmly, leaned back in his chair and looked at him.

"What are you to me?" She seemed to be unable to hold back her sneer, her sarcasm reaching its full peak in an instant, and asked, "Husband?"

After a while, Huo Yuyan fell into silence and stammered, "...Why do you treat me like this?"

One can even hear the unconvincing grievance: "...I am your husband."

Shen Yuntang seemed to want to give him a cold look.

She sighed, stretched out her hand lazily, hooked the stupid guy's neck down, pressed him down to a lower level than herself, grabbed his collar, and watched him look at her in confusion and astonishment.

"If you had this self-awareness, I wouldn't have to scold you."

She gradually revealed a smile that made Huo Yuyan feel uneasy.

"Do you know my birthday? Do you know what I like to eat? Do you know what the bangs I cut today are called? Do you know how my makeup is different today than yesterday? Do you know how many centimeters of shoes I like to wear? Do you know the difference between my favorite lipstick colors?"

Huo Yuyan remained still.

"That's all?" Shen Yuntang ended with a sneer, "Are you worthy of it?"

She let go of Huo Yuyan's collar and pushed him away mercilessly.

Makeup artist: ...shivering all over.

When Shen Yuntang finished her makeup and was ready to go downstairs, Huo Yuyan had been sitting behind her in silence for a long time.

He even rested his elbows on his knees, crossed his hands and supported his chin, staring at Shen Yuntang very seriously.

Shen Yuntang didn't even look at him and walked out without changing his expression.

"...Shen Yuntang!"

Huo Yuyan suddenly called her.

Shen Yuntang ignored him. He paused and continued hurriedly, "It's raining outside."

Miss Shen then frowned and looked at the watch on her hand.

It's raining now, so the red carpet will definitely be restricted.

Huo Yuyan was silent for a moment, then lowered his voice and said slowly: "Your... seven-centimeter lambskin sole cannot get wet, change it for another pair."

Shen Yuntang paused.

She lowered her eyes.

The pair on her feet is her favorite recently, with a seven-centimeter lambskin sole. She has worn it five or six times in a month.

Huo Yuyan went home more than ten times.

Seeing Shen Yuntang calm down, Huo Yuyan wisely realized that she was unhappy. He paused and said, "I don't mean to instruct you on how to dress. I just think that you are angry because your clothes are wet and you can't wear them. Then the unlucky one will be..."

"Can't you carry me into the car if I can't get wet?"

Shen Yuntang raised his head and interrupted him coldly.

Huo Yuyan got stuck suddenly and almost bit his tongue.

He stared at Shen Yuntang's back in a daze, not reacting for a moment. Until Miss Shen became impatient: "Hurry up! I want to wear this pair."

As he walked downstairs, he said, "Why not just put up a tent and lay carpets throughout the venue? It's no big deal. Why are you wasting your time?"

Huo Yuyan: “……?”

He smoothed his hair belatedly and realized what she had said.

Huo Yuyan slowly remembered.

oh.

Miss Shen said to hug her.

…

???

When he really carried Shen Yuntang out, he still felt it was strange.

He didn't understand why it suddenly turned out like this, but he had to do it. It felt a little awkward at first, but it wasn't awkward anymore as soon as he went out.

He just stopped.

It had only been drizzling outside for a few minutes, and now that the sun was out, the few water stains on the ground were almost dried up.

Miss Shen probably looked even more gloomy.

She put her hand on her face and pushed away the dazed Huo Yuyan, then bent down and got into the car, saying expressionlessly, "Dead liar."

The car door closed and he drove away without anyone waiting for him.

Huo Yuyan: "..."

This broken rain, you did it on purpose.

Shen Yunhe arrived at the exhibition site by car.

Hundreds of meters of red carpet have been neatly laid out. Because of the light rain just now, the staff also specially cleaned and dried one side to make the surrounding environment clean.

The media had already arrived in advance and were waiting for the spokespersons beside the red carpet.

When Shen Yunhe arrived, she was quite satisfied with the scene, except that the distance where she got off the car was a little short, and the media had their backs to her, making it a little difficult to take pictures.

So she asked her assistant to inform the media that she was going to get off the car.

One after another, people turned their cameras over.

Shen Yunhe was satisfied. She walked down from the car holding the door and smiled at the camera.

Before I could even smile enough, a car came from the other end of the red carpet and someone opened the door and got out, looking very impressive.

Shen Yunhe stopped smiling and was about to ask who was so ignorant of reading people's expressions when she heard someone screaming in the media area.

"Fuck! Gu Lan!!!"
