Chapter 384 - 384: Three-Hundred and Eighty-Four: New Acquaintance
Yun Nan couldn’t hold back her tears in the end. She smiled as she wiped them away and looked at Yun Zhang. “You should shave and get a haircut. You don’t look good like this.”
Yun Zhang nodded. “Alright, I’ll clean myself up when I go back. I’m here to work with you to resolve Yun Liu’s matter. I know she has her eyes on Shi Nian again.”
Yun Nan was stunned. ‘He’s been away for so long; how does he know that?
Yun Zhang said, “Yun Entertainment is now in her hands, but I was the one who laid its foundation; I was the one who personally set up the staff lineup. Yun Liu knows little about management, and while Tan Ning is good at handling clashes between artistes, she’s not good at operating a company. The ones who can have Yun Entertainment running normally are all my people, so it’s not that difficult for me to know what she’s been up to.”
Yun Nan understood the meaning behind his words. “You want to take back Yun Entertainment?”
“You don’t think I should?” Yun Zhang asked.
Yun Nan replied, “But your parents gave Yun Entertainment to Yun Liu—”
“They’re also your parents!” Yun Zhang interrupted her. Yun Nan said nothing, thinking, ‘I know that, but they don’t see me as their daughter.’
Yun Zhang softly sighed, “Yun Nan, I’ll definitely let my parents know what kind of person Yun Liu is. I won’t let them continue to be muddle-headed.”
Yun Nan chuckled. ‘I don’t care about that anymore.’ She inquired, “How do you plan to get Yun Entertainment back?”
“I’ll take it back in a legitimate manner, of course,” Yun Zhang answered detachedly with a serious glint in his eyes. He then smiled. “Let’s not talk about that for now. I have to go back, get myself cleaned up, and come out a new man. As for Yun Liu, if she starts any new rumors and smear propaganda, ignore it and leave it to me.”
Yun Nan looked at him, and Yun Zhang’s return gaze was firm and sincere. “Trust me this once, Yun Nan. I mean it, sincerely.”
Yun Nan nodded lightly. “Alright.” Yun Zhang stretched out his hand and gently placed it on Yun Nan’s head but quickly retracted his hand and stood up to leave.
Yun Nan stared at the cup Yun Zhang had just held in a daze when a clear voice sounded above her. “May I sit here?”
Yun Nan looked up and saw a familiar face. Lan Long sat down without waiting for Yun Nan’s permission. Yun Nan glanced around. ‘ Why is he sitting next to me when there are many other empty sea ts?
“We’ve met a few times already, miss. I didn’t expect to run into you again here.
I think this must be fate, so I shamelessly came over to get to know you.” Lan
Long extended his hand to Yun Nan. “Hello!”
Yun Nan’s phone rang, interrupting Lan Long. Yun Nan grabbed her phone and answered the call. “Hey, Fang Xi!”
“Are you at ‘Creative Yun? Come back quickly! It’s urgent!” Fang Xi stated, sounding very serious.
“Okay! I’ll be right there!” Yun Nan stood up to leave, nodding slightly at Lan Long as she went.
Lan Long looked at his outstretched hand and shrugged before retracting it. He felt like a feather had lightly brushed across his heart as he stared at Yun Nan’s retreating figure. ‘It’s right when they say, “The unattainable is the most attractive. “‘
Shi Xiu didn’t forget about the ‘debtee’ she’d left in ‘Creative Yun.’ She rushed over after she’d finished her live broadcast and sighed in relief when she saw Lan Long looking at his phone in one of the coffee shop’s booths. She hurried over and immediately apologized, “I’m sorry. I’m really sorry for making you wait.”
Lan Long put down his phone and gave her a gentle smile. “It’s fine. I don’t have anywhere to be, anyway. It makes no difference where I spend my time.”
“Let me treat you to coffee,” Shi Xiu said. “What would you like to drink? Dong Dong!” Shi Xiu called out to the barista.
Dong Dong walked over, and Shi Xiu asked for a glass of fruit juice for herself.
Lan Long chuckled, “I’ll have the same; a glass of fruit juice for me, please.”
Shi Xiu graciously stretched out her hand. “Let’s start over. My name is Shi Xiu. I’m an employee of Yun Innovations, the entertainment company up the road.”
Lan Long shook Shi Xiu’s hand and smiled as he introduced himself. “I’m Lan Long, currently unemployed. I just came back from abroad. I’m what they call a
‘seaweed!”‘
Shi Xiu was stunned before she laughed. “Seaweed? *Laughs* This is the first time I’ve heard someone describe themselves like that.”
Lan Long chortled, “Because, for all the education I’ve received overseas, I’m indeed useless. I’m relying on my father to arrange everything for me while waiting for employment—aka a seaweed.”
Lan Long’s humor immediately drew the two closer. They happily chatted as they drank their juice.
Yun Nan returned to her office, and Fang Xi handed her a report with a solemn expression. “As expected, Yun Liu released some photos. She didn’t mention Shi Nian and was deliberately vague to arouse conjecture. It’ll be more talked about that way. She’s in the top ten on the trending searches today. Although she’s currently at the bottom of the list, anyone can tell she’s building momentum and is poised to attack. On our side, Shi Xiu’s show has just taken off.. It’ll be a real shame to let Yun Liu ruin it!”
