"Oh right, about the variety show 'A Weekend Date', the publicity department thinks that it's a good idea to bring a newcomer to the show. If Chen Yin isn't busy, you can bring her to the show to increase her exposure. She hasn't appeared in front of the public for a long time. It's not an exaggeration to say that she's been shelved."
Gu Chi's words pulled Ye Huanyan back to reality.
She nodded. "Okay, I'll ask her tonight."
Chen Yin was in Haiyan Media in name, but her activities were not restricted by the company. Ever since she signed the contract, she had been following Ye Huanyan around. Originally, the company had planned for her and she had gotten the second female lead in a web drama. However, two months ago, for some reason, she refused to work no matter what, saying that she wanted to nurse her body and mind.
Ye Huanyan could more or less tell that it was a relationship problem.
After several interactions with Chu Tiankuo, Ye Huanyan felt that the man was like a child who never grew up. Dating Chen Yin was like playing house. He didn't even know what the future would be like. He only knew how to play around every day.
However, no matter how playful Chen Yin was, she was a woman after all. When a woman reached a certain age, she would start to yearn for stability.
"You're not staying in the company tonight?" Gu Chi asked.
"A friend is coming back, so I'm welcoming him."
Ye Huanyan's eyes had a hint of meaning.
At Lanjiang City International Airport, night had just fallen. The flight from the United States had just landed in the airport hall. A woman wearing a caramel-colored trendy woolen coat pulled a silver-gray suitcase out of the exit. Her ten-centimeter tall boots set off her tall and straight figure. Under the huge sunglasses was a delicate and classical face.
She turned on her phone as she walked and asked, "Actually, you didn't have to go through so much trouble to pick me up. I can just take a taxi myself."
"There aren't many taxis here at night, but you're unlucky. It's rush hour and I'm stuck on the road. You can take a look first. If you can take a taxi, you can take one first."
"Sure, I can do anything."
"Hey, wait a minute." The voice on the other end of the phone sounded a little anxious. "It's okay to share a car with someone. There are very few cars going to the suburbs over there. If the driver says to share a car to the suburbs, you have to quickly get in the car."
Fu Yingxiang answered helplessly. She hung up the phone and pulled her suitcase to the taxi stand.
Just as Ye Huanyan had said, the people who had just gotten off the plane were all queuing up. Those who were lucky had arrived early and had already left by taxis. There were only a few taxis behind them. Every time a taxi came to the front, the driver would shout for it.
"Are we going to the city center? There are three of us …"
Fu Yingxiang looked at the endless line of people in front of her. She took a deep breath and slowly exhaled.
If he had known earlier, he would have arranged for someone to pick him up at the airport.
Gambling was banned in the country and the Fu Family's main business was running casinos. They did not have any business in the country, so it was not very convenient for them to do anything here.
Just as she was bored out of her mind, she suddenly heard a loud voice shouting, "Near Yongxiang Road in the western suburbs, is anyone carpooling? We're short of two. "
Fu Yingxiang was slightly stunned. She remembered Ye Huanyan's reminder over the phone and hurriedly raised her hand. "Here, Master …"
The entrance of the taxi stand was crowded with people. Fu Yingxiang pulled her suitcase and there was a metal fence between her and the taxi. She frowned and lowered her head. Just as she was about to carry her suitcase and climb over, she heard a clear voice. "Let me do it."
She raised her head in surprise. The first thing she saw was the hood on the back of the black trench coat. Then she saw half of the man's neck as he bent over. His skin was slightly pale, but he still had the characteristics of an Asian. There was a refreshing smell of detergent on his body and there was a youthful vitality.
While she was in a daze, the man had already carried her suitcase and climbed over the metal fence. The man stood on the other side of the fence and looked up at her. He stretched out his hand and smiled. "Do you need help?"
When he bent over just now, she didn't look carefully and thought that he was a middle-aged man with such a calm demeanor. Now that he stood up straight, she could see his youthful aura through the metal fence.
He looked to be in his early twenties. He was wearing a black down jacket with a dark blue V-neck sweater inside. The collar of his white shirt was exposed. He looked to be more than 1.85 meters tall. He was young, but he didn't lose his composure.
There were the sounds of girls whispering around them.
"He's so handsome …"
"The driver is waiting. I'll pull you over, Sister."
Fu Yingxiang was slightly stunned when she heard him call her 'Sister'. She took his hand and felt the strength in his arm the moment they climbed over the fence. Then, he steadily held her shoulders and landed on the ground.
It had been many years since she had been so close to a man. This feeling made her feel a little strange.
The man first stuffed her luggage into the trunk, then opened the car door and waited at the door like a gentleman.
"Thank you." She walked past him and said softly.
"You're welcome."
Just as he got into the car, his phone rang.
Fu Yingxiang looked at the man apologetically. He smiled and took off the earphones around his neck. He waved them at her and then put them on.
Fu Yingxiang also had earphones, and the soundproofing was quite good.
The call was from Ye Huanyan. They were still stuck on the highway.
As soon as the call connected, a hurried voice came from the other end. "Are you in the car? I don't know how long the traffic is going to be here. "
"I'm in the car. I'm about to leave."
"Then if I can get off the highway in front, I'll get off directly. You know where the car is, right?"
"I know, I know. The person who's carpooling with me is also going that way. It's the same place."
"What a coincidence."
"Yeah."
"Didn't I say that there's no traffic in front? It should be a green light."
The call was hurriedly hung up. Fu Yingxiang shook her head helplessly and put the phone back on the main screen. She opened the Link Watch app and started to silently delete one by one. She had been using this app to kill time for so many years.
The man next to her was not far from her. Winter clothes were worn a lot, and it made people feel safe. The material of her coat at the elbow brushed against the man's down jacket from time to time as she scrolled through the app.
The heater in the car was very strong. After a while, the man next to her took off his earphones and took off his down jacket. He folded it at his waist and placed it on his lap.
Fu Yingxiang was not hot, but her eyes were a little blurry. She couldn't see anything when she scrolled to the last level. Every time, it would be a countdown of five seconds, and she would fail and start over again.
It was probably the same this time. She sighed.
His slender and clean fingers suddenly blocked the phone and tapped on it twice.
With a "biu" sound, the two teddy bears on the diagonal line disappeared in a single line. Then, a series of clicks occurred at an even faster speed. He didn't even have time to take a closer look. Within five seconds, the colorful animals on the phone screen had completely disappeared.
The words "Congratulations on clearing the game!" flashed on the screen, accompanied by the special effects of scattering flowers. Although it was clumsy, it was delightful.
