BXBX NOVEL Chapter 20
Chapter 20
Feeling it necessary to call Xu Xiuhe, Shen Yin picked up her phone and scrolled through her contacts. There were only a few, and Xu Xiuhe\'s name caught her eye immediately.
Xu Xiuhe picked up almost instantly. "Is it over? I\'ll come to pick you up."
"Yes, we just finished the last scene this afternoon. The director wants to treat Zhengzheng to dinner tonight. You can come later," Shen Yin explained.
"Alright. Have you both packed up?" Xu Xiuhe inquired.
"Yan Yan is packing. I\'m watching Zhengzheng. By the way, I wanted to ask, what are your plans for Yan Yan after Chang Zhiyuan?" Shen Yin ventured.
Xu Xiuhe didn\'t anticipate Shen Yin\'s request but replied, "Just say what you want to say."
"I know an actress who plays Zhengzheng\'s mother in the drama. I think she\'s quite good, but she doesn\'t have an assistant. I also think Yan Yan, this young girl, is quite suitable. If she could go and work as an assistant for Shu Yi, it would be fitting," Shen Yin suggested.
Not hearing a response from Xu Xiuhe, Shen Yin continued, "Shu Yi is really nice. I think she has a good temper. Also, Chang Zhiyuan came to visit the set today at noon. I feel like he might like Shu Yi."
Xu Xiuhe hadn\'t expected Chang Zhiyuan to move so quickly. He had just mentioned it last night, and today he went to visit already. Apparently, when Chang Zhiyuan came to find Zhengzheng to film, Shen Yin wasn\'t there.
"Alright, I\'ll talk to Chang Zhiyuan about it later. I\'m going to the studio now," Xu Xiuhe said, glancing at his watch. It was 5:10 PM, still 20 minutes before quitting time.
"Liu Bo, come in," Xu Xiuhe called out while grabbing his suit.
Liu Bo, an employee from outside, immediately entered Xu Xiuhe\'s office. "CEO, what\'s up?"
"I have something to attend to. I\'m leaving early. Take care of the evening meeting for me," Xu Xiuhe instructed.
"Isn\'t that inappropriate?" Liu Bo questioned.
Placing a hand on Liu Bo\'s shoulder, Xu Xiuhe reassured, "Liu, you\'ve been with me for so many years. I trust you. I have to go pick up my son."
Xu Xiuhe grabbed his car keys and headed for the elevator.
"Hello, CEO," a staff member greeted as Xu Xiuhe passed.
Not recognizing the employee, Xu Xiuhe courteously nodded.
Two minutes later, the Heyuan Group\'s employee chat buzzed with news about Xu Xiuhe.
"CEO looks so handsome. I greeted him, and he nodded."
"Huh? What time is it? Where did you see him? Did you go to his office?"
"In the elevator. He must be heading to the underground parking lot."
"I\'m curious, leaving work so early. Rare."
"Maybe going home to accompany his wife?"
"Did anyone ask Liu about the CEO\'s wife? There are rumors that the CEO had an arranged marriage and his wife is ugly, so she never shows her face."
"Our company didn\'t have any senior employees. Did the CEO not attend the wedding?"
"No, the CEO\'s wedding was extremely simple. Apart from Liu Bo, I don\'t think anyone from our company attended."
"I\'m such a gossip lover, I really want to know what the CEO\'s wife looks like, sniff."
Liu Bo couldn\'t hold it any longer after seeing so many messages in the group. He sent a message, "Is it possible that the CEO went home to accompany his son?"
As soon as Liu Bo\'s message went out, the group exploded.
Various expressions of shock, shocked words, overflowing the screen.
Liu Bo\'s alternate account was still quite active in the group. Generally, any message he sent would eventually be criticized, so many people in the group already believed that the CEO had a child.
"Yeah, it\'s been rumored online that the CEO got married almost three years ago. With the CEO\'s physique, he probably has a child."
Immediately, a series of lewd expressions followed.
"It should be possible. Look at his height of over 1.8 meters, look at that figure."
"So, how did the person above know about this?"
An employee speculated, "Do you think he\'s Liu Bo\'s assistant?"
Seeing himself almost exposed, Liu Bo immediately sent a message to cover it up, "I am Liu Bo\'s assistant\'s assistant."
Heyuan Group is large, with involvement in various fields, mainly focusing on real estate, and there are many employees inside. Liu Bo should have several deputy assistants under him, so the employees in the group expressed understanding.
"Then can you ask Liu Bo what the CEO\'s wife looks like?"
Liu Bo was scared by the near exposure and immediately went offline, causing a wail in the group.
Xu Xiuhe drove his Bentley straight to the film and television city. As soon as he entered the hotel entrance, he was recognized by the employees and immediately reported to the manager.
The manager hurriedly came down to greet him.
Xu Xiuhe gestured for the manager not to make a fuss, "Just pretend I haven\'t been here."
The manager understood, and Xu Xiuhe entered the elevator alone and went to the 20th floor.
In 2001, everything in Shen Yin\'s room was arranged neatly.
"Knock, knock, knock."
Yan Yan stepped forward and opened the door, "Madam, sir is here."
"Daddy, daddy." Zhengzheng, who had been playing on the floor, ran to Xu Xiuhe and hugged him.
Xu Xiuhe lifted Zhengzheng up, "Does Zhengzheng miss daddy?"
"Yes." Zhengzheng kissed Xu Xiuhe.
Shen Yin didn\'t expect Xu Xiuhe to arrive so quickly, "You came so soon."
Xu Xiuhe said, "I came as soon as I got the call."
"We were just about to go to the private room reserved by Wang Ming. You probably haven\'t eaten yet, so why don\'t you join us?"
Shen Yin\'s invitation surprised Xu Xiuhe a bit.
"Yeah, let\'s go then." Xu Xiuhe said.
"Eat, eat. Eat meat." Zhengzheng became even happier.
Shen Yin thought to herself, Zhengzheng had eaten so much for lunch, and now he\'s looking forward to dinner so much. Xu Xiuhe wouldn\'t think she\'s not feeding Zhengzheng, right?
Xu Xiuhe carried Zhengzheng and entered the elevator first, followed by Shen Yin and Yan Yan, with Shen Yin pressing the button for the 2nd floor.
The elevator stopped on the second floor, and Shen Yin and her group stepped out. They immediately spotted Director Wang Ming along with the lead actors, as well as a few assistant directors.
"Wang Director," Shen Yin called out from behind.
Wang Ming turned around. "Shen Yin is here, and this must be Mr. Xu."
"Hello, I\'m Xu Xiuhe," Xu Xiuhe introduced himself.
Wang Ming, pleasantly surprised, quickly responded, "Nice to meet you. I\'m just a small director."
In the private room, the others were unaware of Shen Yin\'s background, so when Xu Xiuhe arrived, some of them finally realized.
One assistant director asked, "Why does the person outside talking to Director Wang look so familiar?"
Shu Yi looked up, indeed finding the person familiar.
Another assistant director slapped his thigh and exclaimed, "I remember now. Doesn\'t he resemble the president of Heyuan Group?"
Just as they spoke, Wang Ming led Shen Yin, Zhengzheng, and Xu Xiuhe into the private room.
"Let me introduce everyone, Mr. Xu Xiuhe, the president of Heyuan Group."
Indeed, the actor who had been filming with them for the past few days turned out to be the young prince of Heyuan Group, which certainly added a lot of prestige to the occasion.
Everyone present suddenly realized. Whoever spread the rumor about the wife of the president of Heyuan Group being unattractive clearly hadn\'t seen her; she could easily outshine many people in the industry with her beauty. Not to mention her equestrian skills; they were clearly well-practiced. And this young prince, he was truly the cutest, most handsome, and smartest baby they had ever seen, wasn\'t he?
Originally, this dinner was meant as a thank-you gesture from Wang Ming to Shen Yin, but with Xu Xiuhe\'s presence, the nature of the gathering shifted slightly.
One of the assistant directors was hesitant to speak, unsure of what to say, while Wang Ming and Xu Xiuhe remained courteous. Yan Yan sat next to Shen Yin, diligently serving Zhengzheng with food.
"It\'s our first meeting, and Mrs. Xu has helped me immensely. I\'ll toast to Mr. Xu," Wang Ming raised his glass from the table and downed it in one go.
Xu Xiuhe, who had been drinking with Wang Ming and the others, had his mind on Shen Yin and Zhengzheng. He remembered what Shen Yin had told him about Yan Yan in the afternoon.
He spoke up, "Yan Yan, you\'ll be Shu Yi\'s assistant from now on."
