Against the backlight, the sunlight streamed in through the floor - to - ceiling windows behind, casting fine and scattered rays into the large office.
At this moment, Shao Yinan was sitting in front of the director's desk, carefully reading a document in his hand.
The warmth in his eyes was now replaced by coldness. In this instant, he reverted to the aloof and abstinent Shao Yinan that people dared not approach.
He slowly looked up only when he heard Wen Yin's voice.
Shao Yinan blinked his eyes, and his peach - blossom eyes softened in the next moment.
It seemed as if a little sunlight had fallen into his eyes. The temperature in his black pupils gradually became scorching, and the earnestness hidden in them made it seem as if he was seriously pondering Wen Yin's words.
"Regardless of how old we are, we still need to eat, don't we?"
There was a hint of reproach in Shao Yinan's voice.
Only then did Wen Yin belatedly realize that it was already time for lunch. No wonder people in the office had left one by one.
Shao Yinan rubbed his forehead.
Although he knew that his A Yin could be dedicated to her work, he didn't expect that she would even forget about lunch.
Shao Yinan got up and handed the document in his hand to Wen Yin.
Seeing the confusion on her face, Shao Yinan couldn't help reaching out to ruffle her hair.
It was soft and gentle.
"Take a look first. I'll get the lunch out."
Wen Yin opened the document. It was an investigation into the shares of the Shen Corporation.
Shao Yinan was very efficient. The investigation results showed that since two days ago, some idle shares of the Shen Corporation had been acquired.
Coincidentally, that was when the audio of Wen Yin being bullied was released.
As Shen Ziying's identity was exposed, the Shen Corporation lost more and more business partnerships. In the end, they even sold off their shares. It was obvious that the Shen Corporation was at the end of its rope.
"So, the ultimate acquirer is still unknown?"
Wen Yin looked at the end of the document and asked doubtfully.
While she was looking at the document, Shao Yinan had already laid out the lunch.
Wen Yin smelled the aroma and her nose twitched slightly. Her stomach also growled.
"Let's eat first."
Shao Yinan didn't rush to tell her the answer. He only slowly spoke after seeing Wen Yin finish eating.
"We haven't found out yet, but I have a rough guess in my mind."
Shao Yinan's face darkened slightly, as if he had thought of someone troublesome.
Maybe the people who acquired the Shen Corporation were the same ones who targeted the Wen family?
"Who?"
Although there was nothing in the Wen family that Wen Yin had ever been attached to before... everything had changed since Wen Zeru came back.
She still had her brother.
Shao Yinan firmly uttered two words -
"The Qi family."
Wen Yin was stunned when she heard this name.
The Qi family?
The Qi family that was on par with the Shao family as one of the two major families?
If the whole city was a food chain, the Qi family and the Shao family would surely stand side by side at the top of it. The Wen family probably couldn't even reach the Qi family's little finger.
"Such a fast pace and such ruthless methods." Shao Yinan pondered for a few seconds and then continued, "Apart from the Shao family, I've only seen such things in the Qi Corporation."
"What about the Wen family?"
There was worry on Wen Yin's face.
After all, the Wen Corporation had been in turmoil these days. Otherwise, her brother wouldn't have come to her.
Shao Yinan tapped his finger on the desktop. "The Wen family has Wen Zeru."
"The difference from the Shen Corporation is that the decline of the Wen Corporation has been slower. Moreover, the Wen Corporation doesn't have such big loopholes as the Shen family."
Shao Yinan frowned slightly and finally came to a conclusion. "The Wen family probably won't end up like the Shen family, but they will suffer quite a bit of loss."
Wen Yin heaved a sigh of relief when she heard this.
But... why on earth did the Qi family do this?
Wen Yin spent the whole day immersed in studying the previous design styles of Shaohua. She was only taken away by Shao Yinan after work.
Wen Yin was still holding a large stack of unread design drafts in her hand.
"Shao Yinan, you really had selfish motives for recruiting me to Shaohua."
Wen Yin was forcibly pushed into the car by him. Rarely, she puffed out her cheeks and angrily looked at him.
Although she seemed angry, there was no real annoyance in Wen Yin's eyes. The words she said were soft, more like a coquettish complaint.
Just as Wen Yin was about to speak, her chin was pinched by Shao Yinan's cold fingertips.
She had no choice but to raise her head and meet Shao Yinan's eyes.
Those deep, black peach - blossom eyes were smiling, looking at her leisurely.
"Yes, I did have selfish motives."
"Because I want to keep looking at you."
Shao Yinan's words were too ambiguous. Wen Yin's ears turned red again uncontrollably.
"Otherwise, what if our great designer Wen forgets about her boyfriend while forgetting to eat and sleep?"
There was an involuntary tinge of grievance in Shao Yinan's voice.
Wen Yin felt as if the man in front of her had suddenly turned into a wet puppy with his tail drooping and wagging.
It seemed as if he was craving her caress.
That was what Wen Yin thought, and that was what she did.
The man's hair was not as soft as hers. Wen Yin faintly smelled the refreshing lime scent.
It was the smell of Shao Yinan's shampoo.
"I won't forget."
Wen Yin's bright red lips curled up slightly, responding to what Shao Yinan had just said.
Shao Yinan's black pupils lit up instantly.
"And also..."
Shao Yinan leaned forward slightly and spoke in this rather uncomfortable position with Wen Yin stroking his hair.
"Shaohua will provide enough stage for designers who are passionate about design."
"No one is more suitable for this place than you."
"A Yin, no one is more suitable than you to shine on this stage."
Shao Yinan's deep voice rang in Wen Yin's ear.
Along with it was the thumping sound of Wen Yin's heartbeat.
It was deafening.
Even when Wen Yin sat at her workstation the next day, Shao Yinan's words still seemed to be echoing in her ear.
In the next half - month, Wen Yin threw herself whole - heartedly into drawing design drafts and finalizing the initial drafts.
Jiujiu would occasionally send messages, whining about the difficulties she was having with her designs.
Wen Yin was very patient when talking to her.
She had a good impression of this cute little girl.
[Jiujiu: By the way, Sister Wen Yin, don't you have any more dramas to shoot? You've been spending the whole day at Shaohua.]
Shoot dramas?
Wen Yin replied.
[Wen Yin: What dramas should I shoot?]
[Jiujiu: Logically speaking, shouldn't the stars in the entertainment circle shoot a few more dramas during the period when a variety show becomes popular? Only in this way can they maintain their popularity.]
[Jiujiu: Sister Wen Yin, don't you know this?]
[Wen Yin:.]
She entered the entertainment circle purely by chance, just because of that groundless remark from that so - called "Mr. Xiao".
Wen Yin had no interest in anything related to the entertainment circle.
Let alone going back to shoot dramas.
Wen Yin's gaze fell on the drawing drafts on the table, and her eyes gradually brightened.
She had already found the place where she could shine.
[Wen Yin: Thank you, Jiujiu. You've reminded me.]
Jiujiu on the other side of the phone smiled.
Sister Wen Yin must have forgotten!
Now she should shoot more dramas while she was still popular!
"Quit the entertainment circle?"
