Ye Huanyan flipped open the small, silver-white laptop in her hand. Her mailbox was logged in, and when the screen was unlocked, a new email notification popped up.
There were three emails in total. The latest one was from Gu Sinian, and the other two were work emails for Remaining Life.
Her fingertips stayed on the screen for a few seconds before she finally slid to the email with the title "Remaining Life's review results."
She hoped that it was good news, so that she could prove that she was in luck today.
When she opened it, there was a row of red words. "Failed review. Reason for failure review. False sibling relationship. Incestuous relationship."
Following that was a summary of the review process by the creative team and two solutions. One was to change the script and shoot a new movie, and the other was to find a way to get the review done through connections.
No matter which option it was, it would require manpower and material resources beyond the budget.
The first option was not feasible, as Guan Nai was nowhere to be found since the day the movie was shot. The second option, based on Ye Huanyan's current level of connections in China, she could only rely on her family if she wanted to get the review done.
After reading the entire email, Ye Huanyan took a deep breath and began to comfort herself. Although it was bad news, it might be good luck for her.
With trembling hands, she clicked on the second email. It was about Remaining Life's poster and the first promotional video. Haiyan Media had hired an advertising producer at a high price to create it. The images were beautiful, and every frame could be taken out and saved separately.
But every frame was full of advertising vibes.
Don't be angry, don't be angry. Good luck, good luck.
Finally, she clicked on the email link to restore the photos.
Photos were spread out in front of her, and as she scrolled down, she finished looking at all the photos in just a few seconds.
…
The next day, Gu Sinian and Ji Xiaoyue sent Ye Huanyan to the pier.
She carried a small bag on her back and an 18-inch box in her hand. Beside her was Nao Nao. It was rare that Nao Nao didn't lower its head to play games. It was looking up at its mommy worriedly.
The group of people shivered in the wind at the pier for a long time, but Gu Heng and Wen Yi were nowhere to be seen.
"Why aren't they here yet? I'll get Gu Liu to rush them again."
Ji Xiaoyue took out her cell phone and was about to make a call when Ye Huanyan interrupted her. "Don't call them. I don't think Mom and Dad want to come. I'm not going to wait anymore. Help me tell Mom and Dad well."
With that, Ye Huanyan reached out to Naonnao. "Let's go, Naonnao."
Naonnao grabbed her hand. When they were leaving, he looked back at the gate of the villa reluctantly. After the boat left, he suddenly shouted, "Grandma …"
Ye Huanyan turned around abruptly and saw that Gu Heng and Wen Yi had just gotten out of a Maybach and were hurrying toward the pier. The boat was moving so fast that she could no longer see their expressions, only their silhouettes.
"Gu Min, turn around, turn the boat around …"
Ye Huanyan shouted.
When she turned around again, she saw that Gu Heng had raised her hand and waved at her, indicating that she didn't need to turn around.
"Second Miss, are we still going back?" Gu Min asked hesitantly.
"No need."
Ye Huanyan raised her hand and waved desperately. There was a hint of bitterness in her trembling voice.
Parents are always looking out for you. It's just that everyone has their own perspective on things. If they think that you have too many difficulties with someone, they will naturally not like that person.
They all want you to have a smooth life. When the plane landed, it was in the afternoon. Lanjiang City's airport was packed. Naonnao was still jet-lagged and dozed off while sitting on the luggage trolley. There was only a small 18-inch suitcase on the trolley. He sat on it and swayed, but he couldn't fall off.
Before boarding the plane, Ye Huanyan sent her flight information to Ling Han. She had just turned on her phone and received a very short message. "I'm on a business trip, so I can't pick you up. I have something to do."
Ye Huanyan frowned.
She didn't know when Naonnao woke up, but he snatched her phone and glanced at it. His recognition of words was comparable to that of a sixth-grade student, so it was effortless for him to read.
"Perfunctory."
Two words that didn't belong to someone his age jumped out of his mouth. Then the phone returned to Ye Huanyan's hand.
Ye Huanyan turned a deaf ear. "Your father is very busy, so we'll wait for Uncle Gu Chi to pick us up."
Naonnao shrugged. The black down vest made his face look even paler.
The person who came to pick them up was Chen Yin. Gu Chi was busy dealing with the recent financial crisis in Lanjiang City. He was so busy that he couldn't find time, so this job was given to Chen Yin, who had signed a contract with Haiyan Media.
On the way to the company, Ye Huanyan didn't mention anything about Ling Han. Instead, she chatted with Chen Yin about her recent life.
"I think being an artist is quite interesting. Those dances aren't that difficult, and the training isn't as tiring as practicing martial arts. It's just that I'm not very good at singing. Why don't I go to an actor's training class and become an actress?"
Chen Ying had signed with Haiyan Media. She was originally an athlete and had a fan base, so it was not unusual for her to switch to the entertainment industry. Previously, when Ye Huanyan was filming Remaining Life, Gu Chi had asked her to make a few cameo appearances on a whim. She had a good sense for the camera, so Gu Chi decided to sign her.
"Sister Yan Yan, why didn't you come back with Brother Ling Han this time?"
"Oh, he had something to do at the company, so he came back first."
Ye Huanyan avoided Chen Yin's gaze. She was a little absent-minded.
"Is it because of that stock market manipulation case?" Chen Yin looked at her inquisitively. "I think Assistant Gu has been troubled by this matter recently. Several media companies in Lanjiang City are in a terrible fix. Is Pleasure Media the same?"
"Yeah, it should be."
Ling Han came back because of this matter. If he was busy, it was probably because of this matter.
However, Ye Huanyan's tone was uncertain because this was only her guess. Guesses weren't 100% accurate. In the two days after Ling Han left the Four Seasons Villa, he hadn't contacted her much. They had barely talked about work. She had called him when his flight was about to land, but he had hung up on her. He had replied with a text saying that he had just landed and was in a meeting at the company.
While she was in a daze, Chen Yin had already changed the topic. She said excitedly, "There's a dinner tonight at Second Sister's place. They said they want to give you a welcome dinner."
"Little Five, I have something to do tonight, so I won't be able to make it. Maybe another day. I'll definitely go another day."
Chen Yin was slightly stunned. "What's the matter?"
Only then did she realize that Ye Huanyan's expression wasn't quite right. She quickly wiped the smile off her face and said seriously, "Sis, is there something on your mind? What are you doing tonight? "
"I have to go to Pleasure Media."
Ye Huanyan's tone was very serious. She couldn't explain why, but her instincts told her that something seemed to have happened to Ling Han. Or rather, he was hiding something from her. She had to go and take a look.
"I'll leave Naonnao to you guys. Just don't let him drink."
