Chapter 1239: Chapter 1239: Born Singer (Part 19)
“Sheng Yan?”
The young man was sleeping on the floor with his arms as a pillow. When he heard soone calling him, he groggily opened his eyes.
Before he could see who it was, his body suddenly lifted off the ground.
Startled, the young man ca fully awake.
His vision cleared, and that familiar face ca into view.
She she she…
Chuzheng placed him on the sofa in the corner, her palm gently rubbing his head twice: “Why are you sleeping here?”
Sheng Yan stared at her without blinking. Did she just… carry him?
Was he dreaming or was it real?
Chuzheng waved a finger in front of him: “I asked you a question, why are you in a daze?”
Sheng Yan ca to his senses, his ears turning red, and he muttered softly, “I accidentally fell asleep…”
“Be careful next ti.”
Sheng Yan dared not et Chuzheng’s gaze and nodded randomly.
“You… why did you co back?” Hadn’t she left? What ti is it?
“I saw you here.”
“Huh?”
Chuzheng showed him her phone, it was the studio’s monitoring.
Sheng Yan: “…”
His expression changed slightly, he murmured: “The studio has surveillance?”
“There is in public areas.”
Sheng Yan made a sound of acknowledgnt. He hadn’t noticed before that there was monitoring in the studio.
Chuzheng glanced at him and added: “Only I can see the surveillance.”
Sheng Yan nodded. After hesitating for a mont, he asked softly: “Did you… co back because you saw here?”
“What else?”
Staying here overnight, sleeping in the practice room, is the practice room floor cooler?
Sheng Yan felt his heart filled with sweetness as if it was filled with honey.
But he dared not show it, thanking her properly: “Thank you, I just accidentally fell asleep, I didn’t an to stay here.”
Chuzheng humd, without any intention to bla him.
Sheng Yan dared not move a muscle with Chuzheng’s hand gently patting his head now and then.
The sofa wasn’t big, with the two of them sitting there, their arms and thighs were touching.
In the quiet practice room, it seed like all they could hear was each other’s breathing.
Chuzheng suddenly withdrew her hand, stood up, and grabbed sothing from the floor nearby: “Have sothing to eat.”
Chuzheng had bought it when she ca.
Sheng Yan was indeed a bit hungry, and to ease the slightly awkward atmosphere earlier, he cooperated by taking so food to eat.
Chuzheng leaned against the sofa’s edge, propping her chin, and watched him with a calm expression.
Sheng Yan felt a bit uneasy, trying to find sothing to say: “Aren’t you eating?”
“I’m not hungry.”
“Oh.”
Sheng Yan searched for topics to talk about, but none ca out past his tongue, leaving only silence.
The slight sound of him eating was the only noise in the practice room.
–
After Sheng Yan finished eating, Chuzheng insisted on taking him ho.
Sheng Yan wasn’t too keen on Chuzheng escorting him, waving his hand to refuse, his cute face seed a bit flustered: “No, no need, I can…”
Chuzheng’s tone left no room for argunt: “Get in the car.”
Sheng Yan: “…”
Sheng Yan got into the car, feet together, hands on knees, like a model student ready for a lecture.
Chuzheng suddenly leaned over, and Sheng Yan’s breath caught, staring at the approaching figure.
So strange images flashed through his mind, heart beating faster.
As the cold, serene scent from her approached, Sheng Yan seed to forget how to react.
Click—
The sound of the seatbelt clasp snapped Sheng Yan awake.
Yet her face remained close, Sheng Yan clutched his hands, his eyes slowly lowering. Just as he was about to move slightly closer, she suddenly pulled away, the oppressive feeling vanished, and fresh air rushed in, overwhelming him.
Then ca the roar of the engine.
Sheng Yan turned his face to the side, pinching himself hard.
What was he just thinking?
Chuzheng dropped Sheng Yan off at his residence: “Get so rest early, tomorrow I’ll have the studio pick you up, don’t go there alone.”
“I…”
“Sheng Yan, you’re no longer an unknown anymore.” The lighting in the car made the girl’s eyebrows and eyes appear cold.
“… I understand.” The young man nodded obediently.
“Rest early.”
Sheng Yan opened the car door, got out, and closed the door, whispering to her: “Good night.”
–
“Boss, there’s a bit of a situation.”
Chuzheng received a call early in the morning from Lisa, saying that the advertising space they had negotiated had been suddenly replaced.
Lisa had already found out that behind this was Bai Yaxuan.
Bai Yaxuan not only pulled their advertising space but also snatched an ad endorsent they had previously negotiated and replaced it with Hua Huai.
Bai Yaxuan has invested a lot of resources in Hua Huai, clearly trying to promote him.
With all the scheduling of programs, Hua Huai suddenly overshadowed the Fireworks Group.
Bai Yaxuan’s drastic actions were a direct provocation to Chuzheng.
Don’t you have money?
Now what use is having money, if you still have to give way to her.
Bai Yaxuan even used an alternate account to mock Chuzheng.
Chuzheng: “…” What a disgrace for an actress not concentrating on acting!
[Missy, this can’t be tolerated! Too excessive!! When it cos to having more money, we never lose!] The King’s Account got upset before Chuzheng did.
[Missy, are you ready for so extravagant spending?] The King’s Account seed excited: [Let’s begin our journey of extravagance! Let’s go!]
Chuzheng: “…”
What the heck am I supposed to charge at!
The King’s Account didn’t care about Chuzheng’s thoughts, swiftly issuing the tasks for squandering.
Chuzheng: “…”
That wretched Bai Yaxuan!
–
Bai Yaxuan had just entered the film set, and her personal makeup artist was applying makeup, while her assistant recited the latest news beside her.
When she heard sothing she wanted to hear, Bai Yaxuan snorted coldly.
“Trying to fight this miss, they need to understand what they’re dealing with.”
Bai Yaxuan was in a good mood at this mont, everything seed pleasant. But her happiness didn’t last long, as the producer suddenly ca to notify her that her role had been replaced.
“What did you say?”
The producer advised, “Miss Bai, don’t get agitated…”
How could Bai Yaxuan not be agitated? In all her years of acting, she had never been replaced by any film crew.
“Why are my roles replaced? This is a breach of contract!”
Producer: “We will compensate according to the contract for the breach of terms.”
Bai Yaxuan laughed out of anger: “Is this miss short of that money? Tell clearly, on what grounds am I being replaced, who gave you the authority…”
The producer murmured: “The investors…”
The investors demanded a replacent, what could they do?
If they don’t change the cast, they’ll withdraw funds, but changing the cast would an additional investnt.
They were also worried about offending Bai Yaxuan, fearing it might bring issues later, but the investors assured them that if Bai Yaxuan caused any trouble later on, they’d deal with it.
With such a promise from the investors, they had no reason not to make the change.
Bai Yaxuan’s expression turned grim.
The investors wanted to replace her?
Were the investors out of their minds?
This production wasn’t invested by her company, nor by the Bai Family, so if the investors decided to replace her, there was nothing Bai Yaxuan could do.
