Lin Muyan was awakened by the consecutive beeps of WeChat messages. She propped herself up with a pillow, her eyelashes fluttering lightly. Her phone, which she had left to charge on the bedside table last night, was within her reach. She reached forward and, in a daze, found her phone, then sat back and let out a yawn. The newly updated system automatically placed the latest messages at the top of the lock screen. Lin Muyan looked at the conversation box with a pink heart and instantly became more awake.
She quickly glanced at the line and her eyes landed on the heart emoji below, causing her to smile. Liu Er Bao had half a toothbrush in her mouth and, unfazed by the doorbell, she shuffled in her slippers to answer the door. Ever since Sister Yan started dating, this kind of scene had been happening almost every day when she was at home.
As soon as the door opened, Xiao Chen's handsome face immediately caught the eye. He politely nodded at Liu Er Bao and walked straight in. Liu Er Bao took a few steps back to let him through, then his gaze fell on the breakfast ingredients brought by Xiao Chen, causing his mouth to water. However, he quickly regained his composure, called out "Sister Yan, your darling is here," and hurried back to the bathroom to make room for the two of them. Lin Muyan had already finished washing up and was now sitting in front of the dressing table, planning which eyeshadow palette to use for the day. Upon hearing Liu Er Bao's voice, she reached for the eyeshadow palette on her left and put the rest back in the drawer.
In order to "live up to" her identity as a hardworking person, she went to the mall a few days ago and bought several sets of essential work outfits with an average price just over a hundred. Looking at herself in the mirror wearing a light gray suit skirt, Lin Muyan once again sighed at the strength of her family's genes. Even such ordinary and unremarkable clothing could make her exude a charming and shrewd demeanor. She straightened her collar and walked out of the room slowly, and as she looked up, she saw Xiao Chen turning around, holding two plates of salmon sandwiches.
Liu Er Bao sat down at the table and began to eat ravenously.
"You two take your time eating, I'm leaving first." She quickly finished her sandwich, licked her fingers, stood up, and without responding to Lin Muyan's call, grabbed her bag and ran out.
If she was lucky, she might even bump into Wen Zimo walking his dog downstairs at this time!
"I always come over to ask your roommate to help open the door, it's kind of embarrassing." Xiao Chen retracted his gaze from the door and took a few steps forward to hug Lin Muyan around the waist, affectionately nuzzling her cheek.
In a sly glance that Lin Muyan couldn't see, his dark eyes revealed a hint of mischief. "How about I just move in completely?"
Lin Muyan smiled and lightly pushed him. "I also want to..."
She said softly, and then saw Xiao Chen's eyes light up, like a child about to get a treasure, "But Er Bao is still here, and I have two beds right now."
"The key..."
"It's okay, but in case I'm not at home, I'm afraid Er Bao won't feel secure. You know, she just went through that kind of thing."
Lin Muyan blinked her amber-colored eyes, watching as her young boyfriend's passionate gaze gradually dimmed, and her guilty eyes shifted downward. In fact, Liu Er Bao was just an excuse. It's not that she couldn't live together for real, she just feared that she might be confused and infatuated at that time, and a slip of the tongue... She suppressed her uneasiness, anyway, now is not the time.
With both hands around Xiao Chen's neck, she pulled him towards her, standing on tiptoe to peck his lips lightly, "I'm sorry, baby, please wait a little longer. Er Bao has already started looking for a house, so it shouldn't be too long now."
She had said so, if Xiao Chen continued to dwell on this topic, it would seem that he was not considerate enough.
"Reluctantly" accepting her apologetic kiss, Xiao Chen tightened his embrace, and the kiss gradually became intense.
When leaving, it was already past 7:30. Xiao Chen still escorted her to the subway entrance as usual, watching the hustle and bustle of the subway with his eyes fixed on her.
"No," Lin Muyan saw through his intention to follow her inside at a glance, and with a serious face, she stopped him. "We agreed not to interfere with each other's work. Besides, it's too crowded inside, and I don't want you to see me in a mess."
"But I don't want to see you squeezed into the subway with them. Look, your hair is all messy. If I take you, you can sleep a little longer on the train."
This is what happens every time Xiao Chen sends her. Every time, Lin Muyan comforts this "big dog" that will feel sad without her, both sweet and helpless.
"I've been working like this for so long since I returned to China, it's nothing. It's crowded, but we'll make it. The subway is much better than the bus. Be good. Let's go on a date tonight. See if there's anywhere you want to go. I'll finish work, and we'll go together."
With a smile, Lin Muyan patted Xiao Chen's head, then pulled his collar and kissed him again.
She is becoming more and more indifferent to the gaze of others. As pedestrians blushed as they passed by, Xiao Chen obediently let her kiss him, then glared fiercely at the other person behind Lin Muyan. After waving goodbye to Xiao Chen, Lin Muyan was already proficient in finding the corresponding subway exit, entered the railway carriage along with the crowd, stood by the door for a while, and then slipped out at the next stop.
Bentley The car was parked in its usual spot as always. The driver's previous behavior was too conspicuous, so Lin Muyan repeatedly instructed him to wait obediently in the driver's seat. When he was about to call her "Miss" as she got into the car, she interrupted him with a raised hand. As soon as Lin Muyan got into the car, she pulled all the dark purple curtains in the back, and the atmosphere was filled with the dim yellow light shining on the enclosed space above.
Today she has other arrangements. She casually pulled the bag from the back seat of the car, took out the clothes prepared earlier, and changed into them. She kicked off the black leather shoes on her feet and replaced them with a more matching pair of black high heels with straps. Lin Muyan appeared calm and unhurried, but her movements were very fast, and she timed everything perfectly, just in time before the car came to a stop.
Just the day before, she had been driven to the brink of losing her sanity for an hour by the news about Leo. "Stu Studio refusing to cooperate with us is unavoidable, Lin Zong. Our current position is indeed quite difficult. Let's try our best to avoid any further conflicts with Leo," she advised once again, her face filled with a headache as she received instructions from Lin Muyan and faced the icy gaze of her own CEO.
Leo is famous for being unyielding, yet he still has a huge reputation. This time, it was thanks to him that Ling Xiao managed to turn the tables beautifully. With Shenghua's support, Peak Entertainment's stock price dropped by two percentage points. In the face of the known strength of the other party, causing trouble for them is clearly not a wise move.
"How many years have you been with the company?" Lin Muyan tapped the table and asked a seemingly unrelated question in a deliberate manner.
The Public Relations Manager paused, "It's been six years."
"Six years." Lin Muyan raised an eyebrow and looked at him expressionlessly, "After such a long time, why hasn't your courage grown?"
She pushed the table with the few statements that the public relations department had just released last week. "Ling Xiao's scandal has nothing to do with our peak at all. It's Shenghua's grudge and maliciously labeling us. Now this Leo wants to meddle too. Do you think I should just swallow my pride?" The public relations manager remained silent. "If you have even a little regard for the company, you wouldn't say such cowardly words."
Lin Muyan rubbed her temples and said, "Come with me to Stu Studio tomorrow and meet with the manager of the field operations department."
"Alright," the Public Relations Manager wanted to say more, but then saw Shen Yang shaking his head discreetly beside him. He could only sigh and close the office door.
So this is the current situation.
"Lin Zong, why don't we make an appointment with the studio staff first? It's not very graceful to just barge in like this," the Public Relations Manager persuaded for the third time.
Lin Muyan glanced at the person next to her, who was two sizes larger than herself, the Public Relations Manager, wiping sweat and shivering with every word, looking like a sieve.
Lin Muyan became famous for her swift and decisive actions after taking office. She cleared out all the weeds left by the former president, and it can be said that her efforts allowed the company to leap out of the swamp. Even the old men on the board of directors didn't dare to confront her without evidence.
"Yes, Lin Zong, it's really not appropriate for us to be like this."
The manager of the field operations department on the right also glanced nervously at the building in front of them several times. It was obvious that Lin Muyan suddenly summoned them, making both of them uneasy.
"When did my decision require your judgment?" Lin Muyan coldly raised her eyelids, and her light brown eyes shimmered with a restrained halo in the sunlight.
"Besides, I came here today to pick a fight."
As soon as she finished speaking, the middle-aged man, whose combined age was several rounds older than hers, turned pale.
"Not going in? Then go back to the company and hand in your resignation."
She didn't even spare a glance for the two people facing each other, and walked forward with big strides. Her black high heels made a crisp metallic sound on the artistic marble floor, her eyes filled with coldness. The two people at the door hesitated for a moment, then quickly followed, hanging their heads and not daring to say anything that would further damage their own dignity.
The sky is clear for thousands of miles, and the sunlight shines down, casting a faint shadow on the ground.
"Hello, Stu Studio, who are you looking for?"
In front of the revolving door, the receptionist at the front desk greeted with a formulaic smile.
"I'm looking for your boss, Leo."
Lin Muyan said as she carefully looked at the studio.
It was a standalone building, not very tall, but quite impactful from the outside. At first glance, it was clear that this place was out of the ordinary.
On the first floor of Stu Studio, the walls are covered with signed design drafts. Lin Muyan heard during her previous investigation that this is Stu Studio's reward mechanism, where only those whose work is favored by Leo are qualified to display their work on the wall. The carpet underfoot depicts a sky, with overly realistic brushstrokes that make it feel like walking on clouds, giving a dizzying sensation with every step.
