As soon as Lin Leyao entered the studio, she saw Wen Xiao squinting and looking exhausted as he came out of a recording studio.
"You're here?"
Wen Xiao was quite surprised to see her. She glanced at her watch and said, "You arrived half an hour earlier than the agreed time."
Lin Leyao said, "I arrived early to show my friend your dubbing studio."
Wen Xiao nodded, yawned, stretched, and mumbled, "I've been working all night and haven't slept yet. I'll rest for half an hour, and then we'll go in to do the dubbing on time. You take your friends around first, and I'll have Zihan show you around."
"good."
Lin Leyao and Iris strolled around the studio with Zihan.
Wen Xiao's studio is quite far from the city center, but the working environment is very good. The studio has three floors, and the interior decoration is all according to Wen Xiao's preferences, like an American-style villa.
The walls on both sides of the main entrance on the first floor are all transparent glass walls, allowing a clear view of the beautiful greenery outside.
The first floor has no partitions and consists of various small bars for relaxation.
Voice actors usually spend most of their time in the studio when they are working. When they are not working, they do not need to work at a workstation. Wen Xiao specially decorated the first floor like this so that the voice actors can comfortably drink coffee and eat desserts and relax on the first floor.
After Lin Leyao showed Iris around the studio for a while, they sat down on the sofa on the first floor to rest.
Before recording, Lin Leyao chatted with Xin Ying, who was abroad.
"Hello, beautiful lady. My plane will be flying to S City at 10 PM the night after tomorrow. Would you be so fortunate as to spend a night with me?"
Lin Leyao edited a few words and sent them over.
What should I do if my wife keeps a close eye on me and I get caught?
Xin Ying quickly replied: 【My wife is the same way. I never imagined that you and I would be so destined to have such a fierce wife.】
Lin Leyao smirked and sent a message: 【How can a CEO be so timid? Can't even manage a little seduction?】
Xin Ying quickly retorted: "What fragrance are you stealing, what jade are you pilfering?"
Lin Leyao: [Stealing my fragrance and my jade.]
Xin Ying: [Then don't let my fierce wife at home know.]
Xin Ying and Lin Leyao's smiles never faded as they exchanged messages.
The two hadn't chatted for long when Lin Leyao had to go do her voiceover work. Xin Ying turned off her phone, and the smile on her face instantly vanished.
Seeing Xin Ying turn off her phone, a jewelry store manager nearby immediately asked, "Miss Xin, if you're still not satisfied with this ring, I'll arrange for a craftsman to modify it again?"
Although the manager said that, his smiling face concealed a deep bitterness in his heart.
This big boss has revised the plan more than ten times, and he's never satisfied with it. If it weren't for the high price offered by this big order, he wouldn't have done this business!
Listening to the manager's words, Xin Ying picked up a ring with a huge gemstone set on the table, examined it carefully for a long time, and then said, "Never mind, there's too little time, let's just make do."
"This is passable! After so many revisions, it's still passable! With such high standards, are you giving this to a fairy?!" The manager inwardly grumbled, but outwardly remained calm. He immediately smiled and said, "Alright, I'll wrap the ring up for you right now."

Chapter 91
Xin Ying returned to China by plane at noon the day after tomorrow, a few hours earlier than originally scheduled.
After returning to China, Xin Ying did not go back to the villa where she lived, but stayed at a hotel in the city center.
After resting in the suite for a few hours, Xin Ying went downstairs to the restaurant for a meal.
Xin Ying only learned after entering the restaurant that the hotel was hosting a business conference for a video platform in a couple of days.
The hotel's banquet hall has been booked out, and many platform staff and business project personnel involved in investment promotion have already checked into the hotel.
Xin Ying sat by the window, texting Lin Leyao while eating snacks.
She returned much earlier than expected today; Lin Leyao was still in the dubbing studio dubbing her new drama.
During this period, Lin Leyao stayed at home instead of filming, but Xin Ying had a regular nine-to-five job, so the two rarely went out on dates.
After returning from abroad, Xin Ying neither went home nor to the company; she stayed outside, presumably to have a date with Lin Leyao.
Because the hotel is holding a business conference, there are a lot of people staying at the hotel these past two days. At this time, there are also many more people dining in the restaurant than usual, and the whole restaurant is quite noisy.
At this moment, several men and women walked in together and sat not far from Xin Ying.
Xin Ying sat back to back with them, unable to see each other.
After getting their food from the buffet, the group sat down and chatted. Through their conversation, Xin Ying learned that they were media workers from several platforms who had come to watch the investment promotion conference to release firsthand news.
In today's entertainment industry, there are no standard industry norms. This circle is a mixed bag, and not only actors but also media workers have varying levels of conduct.
These media workers chatted briefly about work, and then the conversation turned to the celebrities attending the investment promotion conference.
Everyone was sharing gossip. Xin Ying had her back to them, and amidst their chattering, she finished her last bite and prepared to leave the restaurant.
Suddenly she heard a name, and her whole body froze instantly.
Xin Ying, who was about to leave, sat back down in her chair, the voices of the media workers still ringing in her ears.
Have you heard that news recently?
Which one?
"Recently, there have been rumors in the industry that Lin Leyao got married and married a wealthy man. When she was shooting for a magazine, someone saw someone picking her up in a luxury car."
"Isn't it normal for female celebrities to date rich men these days? What's the big fuss about!"
"Isn't she only twenty-five? Getting married so early, she really has no ambition at all."
"Oh dear, how many of these female celebrities are career-minded? They either want to film more movies to make money, or they want to marry a rich man to make money. It's all about money. Getting married early means you don't have to work yourself to death filming. How great is that!"
"After all that talk, who did she marry? She couldn't have actually married a woman, could she? Was it Liu Fang or Xin Ying?"
"Hey, is it true that she and Liu Fang are really together? They seem so close. Even if the video is fake, it's true that they stayed at the same hotel and she knocked on Lin Leyao's door."
"Who knows? But isn't Lin Leyao's private life always messy? Didn't her ex-best friend break up with her because of her flirting with her best friend's boyfriend?"
"Best friend? Who is it? It can't be Tang Ran and that Lin Jiashu who's already washed up, can it?"
"Is it her? Don't keep your mouth shut and only tell me half the story!"
"Oh dear, I can't say who it is. What if I reveal it and it exposes me, and they come knocking on my door?"
"Then what the hell were you saying just now?!"
"It's nothing, I just heard her say some things about Lin Leyao. Anyway, you can't judge a book by its cover, she's not as innocent as she seems."
"Don't judge a book by its cover. You can tell from her appearance that she's not the innocent type."
"Not that kind of innocent look, is it?"
"Haha, don't you understand? Stop pretending to be innocent!"
As the group continued talking, Xin Ying suddenly stood up.
As he stood up, the chair was pushed back a considerable distance, screeching as it scraped against the ground.
The media personnel who were talking stopped talking and looked in the direction of the sound.
Xin Ying suddenly appeared behind them, and they were all startled by her sudden appearance.
They quickly recognized the person who had suddenly appeared as Xin Ying. Before anyone could speak, Xin Ying coldly asked, "Who is it?"
Before anyone could react, Xin Ying coldly repeated, "Who is this best friend you're talking about?"
Xin Ying stood before them with a cold, expressionless face, staring intently at the media worker who had just made the revelation.
Everyone here works in the media industry and is very familiar with the latest entertainment news. They recognized Xin Ying at a glance.
The Xin family was not someone they could easily offend. The media person who had been silent just moments before stammered under Xin Ying's cold gaze, "Yes, it's Tang Ran."
Another media worker, who had already guessed it, immediately said, "I knew it was her!"
After those words came out, she realized that Xin Ying was standing next to her. By the time she looked up, Xin Ying had already turned around and walked out of the restaurant without looking back.
Looking at her thin, cold back, the group remained stunned for a long time before finally snapping out of their daze and whispering among themselves.
"Is she angry? Will she pick a fight with us?"
"No way, the president of a big company is so petty? We didn't say anything bad about her!"
"Aren't she and Lin Leyao friends?"
"She's the pampered youngest daughter of the Xin family and the president of Huanning Group. Could she really do this for Lin Leyao? I couldn't!"
As soon as Xin Ying stepped out of the restaurant, the hotel manager rushed over.
"Mr. Xin, your flight is at 10 p.m., I thought you would arrive after 10 p.m., I didn't expect you to come early."
Xin Ying gave a faint "hmm," and said, "The flight has been rescheduled."
The manager immediately asked, "Mr. Xin, what do you think of the suite? Is there anything missing that we need to prepare?"
"No need, I'm going back to my room. You can go about your business."
After saying that, Xin Ying was about to leave.
She had only taken a few steps when she suddenly stopped.
When the hotel manager saw Xin Ying stop, he immediately stepped forward and asked, "Ms. Xin, what brings you here?"
"I need your help with something."
The hotel manager quickly said, "Mr. Xin, please speak!"
After finishing her business, Xin Ying left without looking back this time. After watching Xin Ying enter the elevator, the hotel manager immediately dropped the flattering smile on his face and entered the hotel restaurant with a cold expression.
After leaving the restaurant, Xin Ying went straight back to her suite.
It was already dark outside, night had fallen, but Lin Leyao's work was not yet finished.
