The Daughter of the Enchanted in the Modern Age

Chapter 188

In the blink of an eye, it was already noon. Xia Wanyuan read quickly and basically read all the information in the exhibition hall.

After leaving the exhibition hall, Wei Zimu brought Xia Wanyuan to Old Madam. The Old Madam asked some questions related to the Wei family business.

Wei Zimu assumed that Xia Wanyuan knew nothing about the Wei family business and wanted to help him resolve the situation. Who would have thought that Xia Wanyuan would actually answer so easily? Wei Zimu looked at Xia Wanyuan in surprise.

"Are you staying for dinner?" Old Lady Wei did not comment on Xia Wanyuan's reply.

Xia Wanyuan did not know what status the Wei family had in China.

If it was anyone else, they would be able to brag about eating food in the Wei family for a long time.

Thinking of the many terrible rules of the Wei family, Xia Wanyuan felt that her food might not taste good, even though the Wei family's food was indeed not bad.

"unneeded. I still have something, so I won't stay for dinner.” Xia Wanyuan refused.

“Alright, you can go then.” The old lady was not angry. He gestured for Wei Zimu to send Xia Wanyuan out.

Wei Zimu accompanied Xia Wanyuan to the door when the maid beside Old Madam suddenly came out with a large box.

“Nona Xia, Old Lady said that you like to eat dishes in the courtyard. They are made especially for you. Bring them back and eat them.”

"Thank you." Xia Wanyuan reached out to grab the lunch box and waved at Wei Zimu. "Good bye."

“See you, Sister Wanyuan. You can look for me if you need anything.” Wei Zimu smiled gently.

Courtyard and manor are located at the two ends of Beijing. They were very far away, but they were very close to Jun Shiling's company.

After some thought, Xia Wanyuan asked the driver to go to Jun Corporation.

***

It was past noon, and the meeting room was filled with gloom. Since they were unable to come up with a plan that would satisfy Jun Shiling, several company leaders received Jun Shiling's instructions one by one.

Oh my God, please save us.

Tears were flowing down everyone's face. Who said CEO Jun became gentle?! He is clearly still the King of Hell!!

As if someone had heard everyone's thoughts, Lin Jing pushed the door open and entered. He said a few words beside Jun Shiling, and his expression seemed to soften.

“We'll talk later in the afternoon. Meeting dissolved.”

With that, Jun Shiling walked out of the meeting room.

Everyone: Boohoo, Special Assistant Lin, you are truly my savior!! You have given me a new life.

Lin Jing said: Sorry, you have found the wrong savior.

Jun Shiling pushed the door open. Xia Wanyuan sat on the sofa, preparing food and waiting for him to eat.

Jun Shiling's heart skipped a beat.

"Why are you here?" Jun Shiling took off his coat, loosened his tie, and slowly sat down beside Xia Wanyuan.

“Madam Wei brought a lot of food for me, so I brought her here. The food from the Wei family was really not bad, ” Xia Wanyuan said and grabbed her chopsticks, but Jun Shiling grabbed her wrist.

Xia Wanyuan looked up in shock. Jun Shiling's eyes were bright.

"Kiss me, okay?" Jun Shiling looked at Xia Wanyuan intently.

“...Jun Shiling, can you not move?” Xia Wanyuan was a little helpless.

“I can't help it. I missed you during the meeting. The thought of seeing you again after work makes me miss you even more. But you came during the day.” Jun Shiling stopped, and a smile appeared in his eyes. "I'm very happy."

The excitement and smile in Jun Shiling's eyes were too obvious, causing ripples in Xia Wanyuan's heart.

Jun Shiling rubbed the back of Xia Wanyuan's hand. 

"OKAY? Hm?”

As if being doused in hot water by the warmth in Jun Shiling's hand, Xia Wanyuan pulled her hand back, but Jun Shiling clenched it very tightly.

After a while, Xia Wanyuan could not bear Jun Shiling's gaze that would melt him. He decided. Since he had kissed her before, he closed his eyes.

The corner of Jun Shiling's lips curved slightly. He pulled her into his arms and covered the red face he had thought of a thousand times.

Jun Shiling was like a king patrolling his territory, carefully and enthusiastically placing his aura around every corner.

Xia Wanyuan felt her entire body soft. Jun Shiling's aura was too strong, unlike his usual gentleness. It was as if he wanted to imprint it from the inside out.

After a while…

Xia Wanyuan was almost out of breath when Jun Shiling finally let go. However, he did not leave completely. Instead, he planted a kiss on Xia Wanyuan's forehead and said as if he sighed, "Why are you so sweet?"

"Can you let me eat right now?"

"Eat, I'll peel the shrimp for you." Jun Shiling looked full, making Xia Wanyuan's face heat up.

While Xia Wanyuan ate, Jun Shiling did not eat much. He continued to put food into Xia Wanyuan's bowl.

“Are you not hungry?” Xia Wanyuan looked at Jun Shiling. He took care of her and did not eat much.

“I'm full.” Jun Shiling looked at Xia Wanyuan meaningfully. "But if you want to feed me again, I don't mind."

As Xia Wanyuan looked at Jun Shiling's gaze, she knew what he meant. 

"I won't come and have lunch with you again."

"I was wrong." Jun Shiling quickly admitted his mistake and placed some white shrimp in Xia Wanyuan's bowl.

Xia Wanyuan glanced at the shrimp meat in the bowl and looked at Jun Shiling flirtatiously. Jun Shiling's heart itched seeing this, but considering Xia Wanyuan would be angry at him, Jun Shiling could only peel the shrimp for him obediently.

Both the films “Above the Moon Palace” and “Moon As Frost” did not initially interact much.

After all, he was the director of a large production. Since the beginning of filming, his works have been praised by investors all the way to the altar.

Although "Moon As Frost" had gained some support with the addition of Yan Ci, due to its controversial country theme and unknown director and screenwriter, no one thought too much about it.

Due to the Weibo account the production team "The Moon Palace" had once followed Xia Wanyuan when they were about to announce the second female lead, so when the production team "The Moon Palace" participated in a media interview, the, a reporter asked if the production team had ever considered letting Xia Wanyuan play the lead role of the second woman.

Director hesitates. This question is a bit difficult. She could not say that Xia Wanyuan had declined her invitation. After some consideration, the director said,

"Like this. We did consider it at first, but we thought of many actresses at the same time. In the end, after we considered all their acting skills, we felt that she was not very suitable for this role.”

At this point, the director did not continue. However, the public had interpreted the director's intent: xia Wanyuan's acting skills did not match her role, so she was eliminated by the production team of "Above the Moon Palace".

[At that time, someone even said that Xia Wanyuan did not like the script for "The Moon Palace". Is this a slap in the face? ]

[Xia Wanyuan's acting skills aren't bad, are they? I watched 'The Long Ballad'. Anyway, I think it's pretty good. It's not as bad as what the Internet says. ]

[People passing by. I think Xia Wanyuan is much more handsome than Bai Lian. ]

[Haha, what's the point of looking good? He hasn't been chosen by 'Above the Moon Palace'. Our Bai Lian is more popular than some people. ]

[Pfft, some people don't have any acting skills or abilities, so they can only brag about their appearance. Isn't that sad? They went to act in 'The Moon Palace' but to no avail. Now, they tried to touch Sister Bai's porcelain?? Why don't you see the difference in celebrity status? Xia Wanyuan was not even suitable to carry Bai Lian's shoes. ]

Actually, not many people paid attention to this interview, but Bai Lian's fans had always been famous for being competitive.

After seeing the appearance of Bai Lian and Xia Wanyuan, many passers-by felt that Xia Wanyuan looked much better. After posting a few comments, Bai Lian's fans were unhappy and felt that Xia Wanyuan was trying to frame Bai Lian.

Therefore, the director's interview is treated as a divine tool to slap the face. They published that "Xia Wanyuan has personally confirmed by the director that her acting skills are poor".

The passersby who did not notice these things gradually began to talk about Xia Wanyuan not choosing "On Top of the Moon Palace".

Public opinion is always easy to change. The director of "Above the Moon Palace" is the country's leading director. He had already said that Xia Wanyuan was incapable, so everyone had an additional bad impression of him.

Although Xia Wanyuan had said that she wanted to invest, it was impossible for Xia Wanyuan to support the success of a drama alone.

Due to Yan Ci's participation, many investors wanted to cooperate with Li Heng. They were already discussing the final stage when they suddenly heard the director of "The Moon Palace".

Everyone hesitated a little. After all, the Moon Palace was also recruiting investors. No one wants to lose money. If Xia Wanyuan really did not possess the abilities that the director had said, wouldn't their investment money be in vain?

A group of people started to retreat. As long as there was the first group, the second group quickly retreated. Filming that was already running on the right track was delayed.

Several marketing accounts on the Internet directly posted the title "Xia Wanyuan scares twenty investors" to attract attention. They fully analyzed the reason why Xia Wanyuan was not chosen by the production team of the "Moon Palace", and then made a list of various data to compare Xia Wanyuan with Bai Lian.

In the end, they concluded that investing in “Above the Moon Palace” would earn more than investing in “Moon As Frost”. Investing in "Moon As Frost" is very likely to lose everything.

The production team of “Above the Moon Palace” received a lot of investment all of a sudden, while “Moon As Frost” is sad.

When Xia Wanyuan heard about this matter, she originally wanted to invest more, but Shen Qian sent the news that because the company project was still in its early stages, it was not, there was no way to spend extra money to invest in the production team, so Xia Wanyuan could only give up.

There are many people who watch the fun. Li Heng and Yang Jiu were dizzy from the investment.

Just as Bai Lian's fans were overjoyed that Xia Wanyuan had been ridiculed by the crowd, a Weibo account that had been forgotten and covered in dust was suddenly posted.
