Half an hour later.
Wen Yan returned to the studio and called Zhuo Feng over, arranging the afternoon's work.
Just as she was about to get a glass of water, her phone rang.
She glanced at the caller ID and answered, "Miss Wen, it's me. President Leng asked me to pick you up. You can come down now."
Wen Yan responded, "Okay, I'll be right down."
With that, she walked out of the room and into the lobby, where she heard Zuo An's voice, "Miss Wen."
She walked over and greeted him, "Assistant Zuo."
Zuo An nodded, "Miss Wen, please get in the car."
He opened the car door, and when Wen Yan saw the man sitting in the back seat, her heart skipped a beat. She looked at him and said, "President Leng."
Leng Xunze glanced at her, his eyes full of detachment, "Get in, I have something to tell you."
Wen Yan pursed her lips, "Okay."
She sat in the car, immediately feeling a heavy atmosphere surrounding her. She asked faintly, "President Leng, didn't you say you had something to tell me?"
Leng Xunze looked forward, "Zuo An, go to the project venue."
Zuo An nodded, "Yes, President Leng."
He then began to speak, "Ye Shu, have you heard of her?"
Wen Yan was slightly surprised, "Yes, I have."
Ye Shu was a renowned female director in the country, specializing in ancient style productions, and every one of her works had been well-received by the public.
It was also because of this that she was often seen at important award ceremonies.
For some reason in recent years, Ye Shu had suddenly withdrawn from the directing world.
Now, hearing Leng Xunze mention her, could it be that Ye Shu was back with a new work?
Leng Xunze continued, "She is currently developing a new drama. Since this is her magnum opus, for this project, she wants to personally fund a portion and find the best in everything from casting to styling and costumes."
Hearing this, Wen Yan could roughly understand what was going on. In essence, Ye Shu wanted to present her best work to the public.
She asked, "So, we won't be the only ones collaborating on this?"
"That's right. You'll likely have quite a few competitors," Leng Xunze warned her.
Wen Yan smiled faintly, "Thank you, President Leng, for this opportunity."
In fact, she had already prepared herself to miss out on this project.
The current outcome was an unexpected joy for her.
As she was thinking, Leng Xunze looked at her and said, "I don't want verbal thanks. Also, this opportunity isn't to help you."
Wen Yan suddenly felt a bit awkward and smiled to cover it up.
After that, the two of them remained silent for the rest of the ride.
Wen Yan maintained a distance from Leng Xunze.
She sent a message to Bai Quan, asking about her recent injuries. Bai Quan told her that she was close to having her stitches removed.
She should be able to return in a few more days.
Seeing this, Wen Yan immediately called Bai Quan, "Quan Quan, how are you and Rong Beifeng?"
Bai Quan didn't know why she was asking about this, "Besides going out to buy food, he's basically stayed in the hospital room all day. When I told him to go back to the company, he said he handed things over to his assistant."
Wen Yan smiled instantly upon hearing this, "Quan Quan, do you think Rong Beifeng's brain has finally opened up and he knows how good you are to him?"
Bai Quan didn't respond; she didn't know what to say.
After chatting for a while, Wen Yan told Bai Quan that she was going to see Ye Shu now and wished her luck.
Wen Yan replied, "I'll come see you when I get back."
Not long after she hung up, the car stopped in front of a building.
Zuo An said, "President Leng, we've arrived."
Leng Xunze hummed, "Get out."
Wen Yan acknowledged and the three of them walked into the lobby. Leng Xunze received a call, and after he hung up, he said, "Let's go."
The three of them went upstairs to the designated floor. Wen Yan saw a well-preserved woman sitting in a glass room.
The woman had fair skin and very white hands. She was sitting in a chair with a serious expression, and they couldn't hear what she was saying.
The next second, two women with worried expressions came out of the glass room.
Leng Xunze strode over, "Follow me."
Wen Yan followed.
As they entered the glass room, Wen Yan heard Ye Shu say, "Xunze, why are you here? Please, sit down."
Wen Yan was stunned. Leng Xunze and Ye Shu knew each other.
While she was lost in thought, Leng Xunze replied, "I'm here today for the collaboration project."
"This is Wen Yan. You should have heard of her design skills."
Ye Shu sized up Wen Yan and asked, "Miss Wen, may I be so bold as to ask, what is your relationship with Xunze?"
She was quite curious about the woman Leng Xunze personally brought here.
Moreover, there were different interests between the two major families.
Wen Yan curved her lips and replied, "President Leng and I have a cooperative relationship."
Weren't they a cooperative relationship now?
Upon hearing Wen Yan say they had a cooperative relationship, Leng Xunze's expression immediately turned gloomy.
If she was called a heartless woman, she would truly take advantage of it.
She had thanked him in the car, and now, after such a short time, she had dismissed him.
Ye Shu heard this and felt relieved, "Miss Wen, since it's a cooperative relationship, it's best to maintain some distance in the future."
"Alright, I've heard about your styling skills, but honestly, I don't think Miss Wen can take on this job."
Wen Yan smiled and was about to speak when she heard Song Na's voice from outside the door, "Auntie, I know you're looking for a particularly experienced stylist. Look who I've brought for you."
With that, Song Na knocked and entered from outside.
Wen Yan turned around and thought the world was truly small. She had run into Song Na again.
As she was thinking, Sun Jingxin walked in behind Song Na.
Wen Yan raised an eyebrow. Why had they come together?
The moment Song Na saw Wen Yan, her expression changed, "Miss Wen, what a coincidence." Just as she was about to ask Ye Shu what was going on, she immediately understood when she saw Leng Xunze.
She smiled and greeted him, "Xunze."
Leng Xunze gave a soft hum.
Wen Yan smiled, "It is indeed a coincidence."
Ye Shu heard this and turned her gaze to Song Na, "Nana, do you know Miss Wen?"
Song Na gritted her teeth and replied, "We don't exactly know each other. Auntie, this is my friend Sun Jingxin. You must have heard of her deeds."
"What do you think of her taking on your job?"
She thought it was a dream for her to get this collaboration from her aunt.
Today, she could finally get revenge for the times she had been embarrassed.
Sun Jingxin walked forward with a proud expression, "Hello, Teacher Ye. I want to be the stylist for the drama."
Ye Shu pondered for a moment, her gaze shifting between Wen Yan and Su Jingxin, then she said, "I just said that Miss Wen might not be able to take on this job. If Miss Wen has nothing impressive to show, you can leave now."
"Even if you are Xunze's partner, it won't work with me."
