Chapter 354: 354 Are they having hallucinations?

Meanwhile, the director also received a phone call from the station chief and talked for almost twenty minutes. Due to the arrival of this personage, which involved many… secrets, they had to ensure that no one from the crew would leak anything and that no information would be exposed.

The director asked about the identity of this VIP, but the station chief kept it confidential, “When he arrives, you’ll know.”

Though they called it a secret guest, the station chief instructed that no filming was allowed.

But if not for filming, why would he show up at the production team?

…

After Binbin left, the production team continued recording, so Sun Ling didn’t tell the boss about Yan Shixiu’s arrival.

The boss must have known that President Yan would come over, but definitely had no idea he would do so in such a high-profile manner.

Thinking about how Sister Xiaojin and Perry were worrying about the boss’s situation after returning to the country, today they should also know what true low-key luxury with strength looks like!

That Binbin thought he could do whatever he wanted by tightly clinging to Yan Ziqing’s coattails, but little did he know what being a true king meant.

The dinner took almost three hours to prepare.

By the time the various seafood feasts were served, Moscow had already entered the night.

Perry arranged the living room with a great atmosphere, the long dining table was full of flowers, candles, and various decorations, looking like a banquet setup.

Paired with the exquisite culinary skills of the Xu Yang brothers, this meal was in no way inferior to the high-end French restaurants outside.

Well-fed and well-drunk, during this process, they filmed the segment of reflections set by the production team, and once the filming was over, everyone relaxed, gathered closely, lit candles, and drank red wine. Without Binbin, the atmosphere was simply too good.

At that moment, Sister Xiaojin clinked glasses with Shi Lan, and then said, “After we return to the country, if you need any help, just squeak.”

“Us too!” The Xu Yang brothers also said, “No matter what, we’ll be on your side.”

Shi Lan, sipping her wine and leaning back in her chair with a slight flush to her cheeks, said, “Take good care of yourselves, the road in the entertainment industry is long.”

At that moment, Perry’s fondness for Shi Lan rose a few degrees again.

It seemed like no matter her circumstances, she never played the victim.

She looked both cool and aloof.

“I think, offending that Miss Yan shouldn’t be a big deal, right?” Xu Yang said while holding a beer bottle, “I really don’t understand. Our Sister An Lan can do anything, a versatile artist, way stronger than that Binbin by countless times, right? What’s wrong with her to drop a talent like Sister An Lan and support such a drama queen?”

“I suspect the problem lies here,” Xu Sen said, pointing to his own head.

“It’s hard to say. After all, no matter what, Yan Ziqing is still a Yan family member. What’s the Yan Family’s status in Yancheng now? Even more prominent than the Shi Family before. With Yan Shixiu establishing Shuangshi and expanding his commercial territory, he’s ambitious. I think dealing with an artist would be a piece of cake for him,” Sister Xiaojin sighed with not much optimism.

“Sister An Lan, what will you do now?”

“Having already suffered from crossing the Qu brothers, and now…”

Shi Lan chuckled lightly, then said, “Yan Shixiu won’t help Yan Ziqing.”

“Why not? She’s his younger sister.”

“Because I’m his beloved wife,” Shi Lan said half-jokingly.

“Hahaha… Sister An Lan, that’s a good goal, but shouldn’t we first think of something more achievable?” Xu Yang laughed along, thinking Shi Lan was joking. “I wonder if he swings both ways.”

“You can ask him in a bit,” Shi Lan said, her eyes narrowing slightly.

“Haha, you talk as if it’s true.”

“Speaking seriously, this time Yan Ziqing is no match for the Qu brothers from before,” Sister Xiaojin said. “If you’re truly out of options, I still have a little way out.”

By then, the extraneous staff around the manor had been dismissed by the director, leaving only a few photographers who had signed non-disclosure agreements.

Before long, a stretch Rolls-Royce stopped at the entrance of the manor.

The butler of the manor immediately went out to greet the arrival.

All the remaining staff knew someone important was coming, but they didn’t know the specific identity of the visitor. It was only after the person alighted from the car that they covered their mouths in shock.

Because they hadn’t expected the man who should grace the covers of financial magazines, the new diamond king and chairman of Shuangshi Group, Yan Shixiu, to appear before their eyes so unexpectedly.

Despite the long journey, enduring a flight of ten hours, Yan Shixiu looked energized, even his grey suit not showing a single wrinkle.

After establishing Shuangshi, Yan Shixiu carried himself with even more of an emperor’s presence than before.

He was both cold and aloof while at the same time exuding authority and sharpness.

Then, Sun Ling, who was used to such scenes, after enjoying everyone’s reactions, approached and said, “President Yan, the boss and everyone else are still drinking.”

“She’s drinking?” Yan Shixiu frowned slightly.

Sun Ling nodded and then pushed open the great doors of the manor.

At this time, the few people at the dining table were still worrying about Shi Lan’s future.

“Is there no way to directly approach President Yan Shixiu? Can’t he control his own sister?” Xu Sen, like someone who had been drinking fake alcohol, said loudly, “Sister An Lan is clearly so outstanding, yet she has to face suppression from that mistress who knows nothing. It’s simply too unfair.”

Shi Lan, sitting opposite the door, had seen the person coming in and smiled, “To contact Yan Shixiu isn’t particularly troublesome; you just need to turn your head.”

“Sister An Lan, what are you joking about? Have you had too much to drink?” Then, several people turned their heads at the same time, and were simultaneously stunned.

The Xu Yang brothers jumped up from their chairs in fright.

Jin Qiu and Perry were also shocked and stood up properly following the rules.

Just then, the reality show’s director walked in through the front door and said to Yan Shixiu, “Hello, President Yan, I am truly sorry for not greeting you from afar.”

“Don’t worry, it’s a personal visit,” Yan Shixiu said, shaking the director’s hand lightly, “I hope I haven’t disrupted your work.”

“You’re too polite, our work here is already done.”

“Then please have the crew go out for a drink, it’s on me.”

The director, knowing his place, immediately thanked Yan Shixiu and said, “Then I won’t bother you any longer.”

After the pleasantries, the director, along with Sun Ling and Xun Yinghua, all exited the manor, leaving Yan Shixiu in the living room alone.

But everyone was puzzled.

Why was Yan Shixiu here?

Were they experiencing hallucinations?

What was happening?

Moreover, they had long heard of Yan Shixiu’s appearance; even after a close look, the boys couldn’t help being attracted by his handsomeness.

How could someone be this good-looking!

“President Yan, you… you couldn’t possibly be here to settle accounts with Sister An Lan, could you?” Xu Yang could only think of this possibility at the moment.
