The vehicle was driving on the road. Qin Mingyuan looked out the window at the scenery passing by quickly, tapping his fingers lightly on his legs, and going over the plot of the novel again in his mind.
His memory was good and he could remember most of what he had read, but he did not read this book carefully at first and was unclear about many details, such as this plot, which he just skipped.
"Boss Qin, I've booked a French restaurant for lunch. They have good food and are very confidential. They won't cause any trouble to Mr. Yun. Do you want to confirm?"
The assistant in the co-pilot's seat half leaned forward and gestured to him with his cell phone raised.
Hearing that he was going to have lunch with Yun Yuexian, Qin Mingyuan was not in a good mood. He did not show it on his face, but sneered in his heart. No wonder he chose this time to visit the set. The original body also had good intentions.
He didn't answer. Zhou Yang called him again tentatively. After hearing a low "casual" sound, he sat down with his phone in hand.
He carefully glanced at his boss, who never showed his emotions, in the rearview mirror. He felt a little puzzled. He always felt that the other party was a little strange today. He was always absent-minded and even in a bad mood when Mr. Yun was mentioned.
Although the boss was usually very serious, he seemed particularly difficult to approach today, especially when it came to Mr. Yun's matter. He was always very careful and had to confirm everything himself. He never said the word "casually".
Although Zhou Yang found it difficult to understand why his boss suddenly fell in love with the young master of the Yun family and couldn't help himself, he was very clear about how much the other party cared about him during this period of time. It was obvious that he was in a bad mood today.
Qin Mingyuan knew that the assistant in the front row was secretly watching him. When he felt being watched again, he raised his eyes and met the person's gaze in the mirror.
Zhou Yang subconsciously shrank his neck, fearing that he would offend the other party, and sat upright with his back straight.
"Zhou Yang." Qin Mingyuan didn't care what he was thinking. He moved his gaze from the mirror to the back of his head. "What announcement did Yun Yuexian make?"
Hearing that he was only asking this, Zhou Yang, who was named, breathed a sigh of relief and said sideways: "Boss Qin, have you forgotten that this is the skin care product endorsement shoot for our branch company?"
As mentioned before, Qin's business is extensive, beauty and cosmetics being one of them. The set of skin care products it developed has developed into a mid-to-high-end brand. Considering Yun Yuexian's status, if it were not for her original body, she would never have been able to obtain such resources.
Qin Mingyuan raised his eyebrows to indicate that he understood. He didn't ask any more questions and his gaze returned to the window.
Seeing that he had no intention of speaking again, Zhou Yang turned around and sat back. He felt more and more puzzled. Wasn't this job instructed by the boss himself? He also notified the branch office in advance to take good care of the other party. How could he have completely forgotten about it
The distance between the head office and the branch office was not far, only about a twenty-minute drive. The assistant ran over to open the car door. Qin Mingyuan got out of the car with his suit buttoned and his legs stretched, and at the same time adjusted the collar of his coat.
He put his hand down and followed the person into the elevator of the underground parking garage. He watched the other person press the floor button and remained silent.
With a "ding" sound, the elevator reached the floor and the metal door with his face reflected slid open. He didn't rush out, but let his assistant lead the way.
The branch office must have greeted him in advance. The employees passing by were not very surprised to see him, but just a little nervous. They greeted him and left quickly.
Qin Mingyuan didn't look away the whole time and only nodded slightly in response, appearing even more difficult to approach.
"Mr. Qin, it's right here." Zhou Yang opened a door for him and stepped aside to let the man in.
Stepping into the room, there was a small studio. Several staff members were busy in front of the screen. Apart from the photographer's prompts and the "click-click" sounds of taking pictures, there was no other noise and no one noticed that anyone had arrived.
Qin Mingyuan stopped behind the crowd, looked up at the young man taking pictures under the light in front of the curtain, and knew that he was the person he wanted to meet.
As the protagonist of the book and someone who can enter the entertainment industry, there is no need to say much about Yun Yuexian's appearance. She has a pretty face, fair skin, and looks very friendly when she smiles. She is the type of person who is easy to like.
Apart from this, there doesn't seem to be anything special.
That's it
Hearing the person next to him sneer, Zhou Yang turned to look at him in surprise, but he was met with the same calm face. He blinked, thinking that maybe he had heard it wrong.
Qin Mingyuan has seen at least eight hundred pretty faces, whether they are daughters of wealthy families or celebrities in the entertainment industry, there are many who are prettier than Yun Yuexian. It seems that the original person would not be worse than him. It is really hard to believe that he would fall in love with someone at first sight because of their face.
He lowered his eyes and pondered the description of their meeting in the article.
(Qin Mingyuan turned his head in the interlaced light and met the eyes of the young man in the crowd. He had a smile on his face and his eyes were bright and clean, which was out of place here. Qin Mingyuan felt his heartbeat quicken.)
Looking up at the person in the light again, Qin Mingyuan still didn't have any special feeling, and even felt that his heartbeat had become even calmer.
"Okay, that's all for today. Thank you for your hard work, Teacher Yun."
The photographer put down his camera and waved his hand to indicate that the work was over. The people on site started to pack up. Only then did someone notice the big boss of the head office standing behind them. He was startled and hurriedly greeted him.
"Teacher Yun performed very well today. He worked hard but never complained. He cooperated with us very well. President Qin, you had a good vision in choosing him as our spokesperson."
It was no secret that the original person was pursuing the other person. The photographer's words might be sincere, but most of them were probably to please him.
Qin Mingyuan did not comment on this, but nodded calmly to show that he understood.
Yun Yuexian, who was tidying up the curtain, saw him standing there, walked over with her assistant, and said to him with a smile: "Brother Mingyuan, when did you come?"
There was no need to address him so intimately. They were not very familiar with each other. Qin Mingyuan lowered his eyes and looked at the person who approached him. He raised his hand and looked at his watch. "Fifteen minutes ago."
Zhou Yang glanced at his boss strangely again. In order not to make the other party feel psychologically burdened, shouldn’t he answer that he had just arrived
Sure enough, Yun Yue frowned slightly, revealing a distressed expression, "Sorry, I've wasted Brother Mingyuan's time."
Boss, show your previous consideration and answer him that it doesn't matter! Zhou Yang felt that he was so worried.
This time, not only Zhou Yang, but also Yun Yuexian looked up at him in surprise, not knowing what to say for a moment.
"Let's go." Qin Mingyuan didn't intend to stand here and waste time staring at him. He looked at his watch again, turned around and prepared to leave.
"Um, Brother Mingyuan, my clothes..." Yun Yuexian called him in time and pointed to herself. He was still wearing the white shirt he wore during the photo shoot.
Tsk, what a hassle. Qin Mingyuan glanced at him sideways without stopping, "I'll wait for you in the car."
He left without looking back. Zhou Yang felt a little embarrassed. He smiled and explained, "Don't mind, Mr. Yun. Mr. Qin is in a bad mood today because of work. You can take your time. Our car is in the underground garage."
"I know, I don't mind." Yun Yuexian smiled back and left for the locker room with her assistant.
When Qin Mingyuan was standing in front of the elevator waiting for his floor, his assistant caught up with him, stood beside him and glanced at him with a strange look as if he wanted to say something but stopped. When he looked over, he immediately stood still with a serious face.
After getting out of the parking lot, he did not get into the car directly. Instead, he stood aside and lit a cigarette, his expression gloomy in the smoke.
"Boss Qin, are you in a bad mood today?" Zhou Yang, who was waiting nearby, hesitated for a while before asking.
Qin Mingyuan looked up at him and said nothing.
Zhou Yang gestured to the cigarette in his hand, "This is the second one you've smoked today."
He saw the cigarette butts in the office ashtray. His boss didn't smoke much, and he had only seen him a few times in the past few years. The last time he saw him smoking was after the banquet where he met Mr. Yun.
Qin Mingyuan flicked the ash off his cigarette with his fingertips and did not answer his question. If he told the other party about traveling through a book, the other party would probably think he was crazy.
In fact, he still suspects that he may have some mental problems and is suffering from hallucinations.
The boss didn't answer. As a subordinate, Zhou Yang was very tactful and stopped asking. Looking at the other party's face which was colder than usual, he thought that it might be related to Mr. Yun. After all, even the president would feel frustrated if he didn't get a response from the other party after pursuing him so hard.
In fact, he didn't really understand what Mr. Yun was thinking. His boss's conditions were there, and many men and women had tried their best to get close to him, but were ignored. Only Mr. Yun was deeply in love with her, but the other party never agreed.
The president is the same. He can't find anyone he wants to date, but he has to choose someone who doesn't like him.
After smoking a cigarette, Qin Mingyuan found a trash can, put it out and threw it in. Then he returned to the car. Just as he sat down, Yun Yuexian came out from the elevator.
He stopped where he was and said a few words to his assistant, asking him to go back to their car, and then he walked over here.
He was wrapped in a thick white down jacket, looking fresh and clean. When Zhou Yang opened the car door for him, he smiled and thanked him, seeming to be in a good mood.
"Brother Mingyuan, are you getting impatient?" Yun Yuexian sat firmly in the car and smiled apologetically at the man.
Qin Mingyuan didn't say anything. He raised his chin to signal the car to start. When the car started moving, he glanced at the side and said meaningfully, "I thought you wouldn't have lunch with me."
Yun Yuexian was stunned for a moment, then quickly laughed again, "How could that be, although... we are still friends, of course we can have lunch together."
Qin Mingyuan didn't say anything extra to his open-minded answer. He turned his eyes to the front and asked, "Is your work going well recently?"
In fact, what he wanted to know more was whether the opponent and the protagonist had encountered each other during this period of time and whether the main plot had unfolded.
"Not bad, the drama I'm currently filming will be finished soon," Yun Yuexian tilted her head to look at the person next to her, a little embarrassed, "I also want to thank Brother Mingyuan for recommending the script to me. Although I'm not the protagonist, the role is really outstanding and I had a great time acting."
Qin Mingyuan tapped his fingers on his legs twice and said, "Well, did you meet anyone special while filming?"
"Someone special? Everyone is fine, nothing special..." Yun Yuexian seemed to understand what he meant when she was halfway through her words. She glanced at him with her ears slightly red. "Brother Mingyuan is worried about me... No, didn't I say before that I want to concentrate on filming for the time being and won't fall in love."
It seems that he hasn't met him yet. Qin Mingyuan understood and didn't ask any more questions.
"By the way, Brother Mingyuan, I heard from my dad that you introduced business to the family company some time ago. Thank you so much. But you'd better not do it in the future. I already owe you a lot." Yun Yuexian clenched her fingers together, looking a little ashamed.
Qin Mingyuan turned his head to look at him, narrowed his eyes slightly, tapped his fingers again, and said, "Okay, I won't do it again in the future."
"Ahem..." Zhou Yang, who was secretly paying attention to the back row, choked on his own saliva. He quickly lowered his head and covered his lips to suppress the cough. When he looked up, he met the eyes in the rearview mirror. His heart skipped a beat, "Qin, Mr. Qin, I'm sorry."
"Remember to take medicine if you catch a cold." Qin Mingyuan reminded the other party, and before anyone could speak, he added, "Don't delay your work."
Evil capitalists! Zhou Yang swallowed back the thanks that were about to come out of his mouth, and smiled to show that he understood.
After that, there was silence in the car and no one spoke again.
Qin Mingyuan glanced sideways at the person beside him who was lowering his eyes and seemed very well-behaved, then looked away indifferently. The original person was a fish being pulled by a line that would neither be caught nor released, but he was not.
