"Chief editor, are we really going to bet on Su Yanke? Although we've been in a tough spot these years, it's still too risky to hire a newbie. We need to think this through."
"Even though Su Yanke is a newbie, her capabilities are beyond ordinary people's imagination. I trust my judgment and I trust her. You don't need to say any more. I'll take full responsibility for all the consequences." Chief Editor Song said firmly.
Qi Luoluo wanted to persuade Chief Editor Song further. She really didn't think highly of Su Yanke. Before her debut, there were all kinds of negative news about her everywhere. Although they were all proven false later, there's no smoke without fire. There must be something wrong with her.
Just then, Su Yanke arrived. Chief Editor Song was stunned when she saw her.
Su Yanke was wearing her favorite light cyan retro dress today, with her hair simply cascading down her back. She looked like a lotus just out of the water, fresh, elegant, and so delicate that it seemed one could squeeze water out of her.
Su Yanke walked right up to her and greeted her. Only then did Chief Editor Song come to her senses.
Chief Editor Song was suddenly extremely excited and completely at ease.
Qi Luoluo was also stunned looking at Su Yanke. She suddenly understood why Chief Editor Song had strongly recommended Su Yanke against everyone's will. She really had the capital!
Qi Luoluo had also searched for photos of Su Yanke online before. There were only the makeup photos for the new drama and some blurry videos. It was not until she saw Su Yanke in person that she realized the photos and videos online were far from showing her true beauty.
In an instant, Qi Luoluo was full of confidence in this work.
Chief Editor Song originally thought Qi Luoluo would be slack about this work. But unexpectedly, Qi Luoluo took care of everything that followed. Chief Editor Song didn't even have a chance to get involved.
Su Yanke also noticed that they were especially enthusiastic towards her. She had some vague guesses.
Thanks to the experience from the previous shoots, the following work went extremely smoothly.
Soon, Su Yanke finished this job ahead of schedule. She planned to go to a nearby coffee shop downstairs and sit for a while, waiting for Yuan Hexiao.
Unexpectedly, when she picked up her phone, she saw a message from Yuan Hexiao saying that he had already been waiting downstairs for a while.
Su Yanke was a bit confused. Why was Yuan Hexiao in such a hurry? Had something happened?
Thinking like this, Su Yanke became a bit serious. She turned to Agent Liu and told him to go back to the company first. Since Yuan Hexiao had arrived, she was leaving.
As soon as Su Yanke got downstairs, she saw Yuan Hexiao standing next to a black sedan. He was wearing a black suit today, looking very formal. His hair was also carefully groomed, making his already handsome features even more charming.
There were a bunch of his fans around him, secretly stealing glances and taking pictures of him.
"Mr. Yuan, what happened? Why are you in such a hurry?"
Yuan Hexiao watched Su Yanke in a blue dress walking towards him. The way she seemed to have only him in her eyes made him lose himself for a moment.
"Miss Su, something has indeed happened. Let's talk on the way." Yuan Hexiao adjusted his mood, opened the car door, and looked at Su Yanke.
Su Yanke knew that the matter might not be easy to explain all at once, so she didn't ask any more questions and got in the car.
The people around watched as Su Yanke and Yuan Hexiao got in the car together. They looked disappointed. The good-looking ones always belonged to others. But they really made a perfect match!
Yuan Hexiao took Su Yanke to the same restaurant as last time, still the same private room. But the dishes this time were even more sumptuous.
Su Yanke's eyes lit up at the sight.
"Let's eat first. We'll talk about the matter later."
Su Yanke nodded repeatedly and started eating.
While eating, Yuan Hexiao carefully observed which dishes Su Yanke liked. According to Xiao Liu, to win someone's heart, you have to win their stomach first.
After observing for a while, Yuan Hexiao had a general idea. Seeing that Su Yanke's eating speed had slowed down a bit, he finally started talking about the serious matter.
"Miss Su, do you still remember that strange calligraphy and painting we saw in the Cultural Relics Bureau last time?"
"Yeah, I remember. What's up?"
"It's gone."
Su Yanke was stunned. "Ah! It's gone?"
"Yes. We found in the surveillance that it just disappeared out of thin air. And there was a letter left on the wall where the calligraphy and painting used to hang."
"What did the letter say?" Su Yanke was immediately intrigued and asked hurriedly.
"I don't know. We haven't opened it yet."
"Then why not open it? Is it unopenable?"
"It says 'For Su Yanke only' on it."
"Me?" Su Yanke was even more confused. Since she came down from the mountain, she could count the people she knew on one hand. How could this be related to her?
Yuan Hexiao nodded and took out the letter from behind and handed it to Su Yanke.
Su Yanke looked at the letter. It was a completely black envelope, standing in sharp contrast to Yuan Hexiao's fair and slender fingers.
Su Yanke took it and found that the envelope was a bit heavy. When she felt it with her hand, there was a raised object. There must be something else in it besides the letter paper.
Su Yanke opened the envelope. The first thing she noticed was something about the size of a coin, made of pure white material. It felt like jade in her hand.
Su Yanke looked at it for a while but couldn't figure out what it was. Then she looked at the letter paper. She was stunned again.
There were just four simple words on the letter paper: "Leave the living alone."
What did it mean? Su Yanke was full of doubts now. She looked up at Yuan Hexiao and handed all the things in the letter to him.
Yuan Hexiao was stunned for a moment, then the corner of his mouth curled up slightly, showing a faint smile.
Seeing him smile, Su Yanke was even more confused. She thought he might know something and asked him. But Yuan Hexiao just looked at her and slowly said that he was also completely in the dark.
Just when they were at a loss, the waiter served the desserts. Su Yanke was about to eat some delicious food to help her think. But when she glanced at it, her eyebrows suddenly frowned.
"What's wrong? Don't you like it?" Yuan Hexiao asked nervously. He didn't know what desserts Su Yanke liked, so he just ordered a few with the highest positive ratings.
"Why is this thing here?" Su Yanke took an ornament off a strawberry dessert and asked.
Yuan Hexiao looked at the light green grass in Su Yanke's hand, confused.
"This is the root of the baisao grass, a plant that can stimulate people's hostility. But this plant has been extinct for a long time. How could it be here?" Su Yanke was extremely puzzled.
The problems she encountered today gave her a huge headache.
"Don't be afraid. Leave it to me to handle." Yuan Hexiao saw the frown on Su Yanke's face and said tenderly.
"Then... I'll trouble you." Su Yanke said shyly, looking at Yuan Hexiao.
"It's okay." Yuan Hexiao's deep voice sounded.
Su Yanke didn't know why, but she felt her heart beating a bit faster. She just wanted to leave this place quickly to calm down this strange reaction.
Yuan Hexiao noticed Su Yanke's uneasiness and got up to send her home.
"Thank you for the treat. Bye." For some reason, Su Yanke didn't dare to look into Yuan Hexiao's eyes. She lowered her head and said dryly.
"You don't need to be so polite with me. I'll handle the matter. Don't worry. Have a good sleep. Good night. See you next time." Looking at Su Yanke's cute reaction, Yuan Hexiao couldn't help but reach out and ruffle her soft hair. He whispered in her ear with a husky voice and a smile.
After Su Yanke returned to her room, her mind was full of Yuan Hexiao's voice. Her whole face turned as red as a boiled lobster. She quickly rushed into the bathroom to cool down.
Su Yanke felt that something must be wrong with her.
On the other side, Yuan Hexiao dialed a phone number. His face was dimly lit by the street lamp. "It's time to take on a task. I'm investigating something." His cold voice came from his thin lips, sending shivers down one's spine.
Agent Liu stood outside Su Yanke's room, doing some mental preparation. He hoped Su Yanke was in the room but also hoped she wasn't. After struggling for a while, he finally pushed the door open.
Most of the colors in Su Yanke's room were cold tones. The light cyan curtains and the white sheer curtains completely blocked out the sunlight from outside.
There was only a faint warm yellow light at the foot of the bed, shining on the soft big bed. A small bulge indicated that there was someone in it.
Agent Liu subconsciously let out a sigh of relief. He walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, opened the curtains, and shouted, "Little ancestor, wake up. Get up. The movie starts shooting today. We have work to do!"
The little figure on the bed moved when she heard the voice. Su Yanke slowly poked her little head out of the quilt, opening her big, sleepy eyes and blinking at Agent Liu.
Agent Liu felt his throat go dry. He quickly pulled the quilt over Su Yanke's head and rushed out in a hurry.
Su Yanke, who was already a bit confused, was even more bewildered now.
It took a while for Su Yanke to sit up on the bed.
The curtains were already open, and the sunlight came in. It shone on Su Yanke's body, as well as on her yellow pillow and light blue quilt.
The sunlight made Su Yanke a bit more awake. She also remembered today's work. She quickly washed up and went downstairs.
Agent Liu had already prepared breakfast. After Su Yanke finished eating contentedly, they headed to the shooting location.
Agent Liu took good care of her all the way. She was the only artist under his management, and she was so lovable. How could he be willing to let someone else take over?
Su Yanke had a separate shooting studio. Since she didn't have any love scenes with others, she didn't need to get familiar with them in advance.
Dancing was a piece of cake for Su Yanke. She quickly came out of the shooting studio.
Yan Jiajia saw Su Yanke come out so quickly. She thought Su Yanke had been kicked out. She sneered and said, "Sister Su, why did you come out so quickly? Did you anger Teacher Feng Qiuhan? Let me tell you, if you don't have the ability, don't take on difficult tasks."
When the people around heard this, they all laughed. Chi Suyu couldn't stand it anymore and was about to step forward to help, but Lu Xingmi stopped him.
"What are you doing? Don't you remember the warning your company gave you last time? Don't be stupid!" Lu Xingmi glanced at him and said.
"Scram, scram. Are you all idle? Have you all finished your own work?" Seeing that the crowd around was about to grow, Lu Xingmi said quickly.
Out of respect for Lu Xingmi, the people around didn't dare to make a big deal out of it and scattered.
Su Yanke looked at the woman in front of her, who always made trouble for her. She said angrily, "I'll make it clear to you today. I ignored you before not because I was afraid of you. I just didn't want to waste my time on someone like you. This is the first and last warning. Don't bother me anymore, or you won't be able to bear the consequences."
