Shen Huai rubbed his forehead. He had to admit that Tang Wanjun's personality was really beyond his expectations, leaving him speechless for a moment.
After Shen Huai said he could take her away from the Hong Kong Coliseum, Tang Wanjun was expected to agree immediately, but she was surprised to be stunned for a moment.
Shen Huai asked with some doubt, "Is there something you're still worried about?"
"No way!" Tang Wanjun snapped out of her daze, waved her hand, and, not even caring about the fatty intestines, urged them, "Hurry up, let's go!"
But just as Shen Huai and the others were about to step out of the stadium, she hesitated: "Wait!"
After Tang Wanjun finished speaking, she involuntarily looked into the interior of the venue. After a long while, she gritted her teeth and said, "Let's go!"
Ye Cang assumed she was reluctant to leave, but Shen Huai glanced thoughtfully into the stadium once more.
After a long while, a figure slowly emerged from the darkness deep within the venue. He walked out slowly, revealing a pale and thin face that still couldn't hide his handsome features.
He watched Tang Wanjun and the others leave, sighed softly, and then followed them.
-
After leaving the venue, Tang Wanjun seemed a little down, but she quickly cheered up and, taking advantage of the fact that no one was watching her, floated around in the cabin.
Finally, she floated back to Shen Huai and Ye Cang's side, sat cross-legged on a chair, and sighed.
"The changes over the years have been tremendous!"
At this moment, Tang Wanjun had completely abandoned her image and revealed her true nature, and Shen Huai and the other could only pretend not to see it.
Actually, it's not entirely Tang Wan-jun's fault. She was born in a poor area of Hong Kong with many sisters. She started working after finishing junior high school. She had a good voice, so she initially sang in dance halls before being discovered by a record company.
She had a sweet appearance, and although she came from a poor neighborhood, she unexpectedly possessed an air of nobility. As a result, she was packaged as a wealthy young lady, and even her name was changed to the more scholarly-sounding Wan Jun.
Later, Tang Wanjun became an overnight sensation, and the company did not allow her to do anything that was inappropriate for her status. So, from the age of sixteen until she died at the age of twenty-eight, she lived a very restrained life. She had to be careful about her words and actions in front of the public, and could only reveal a little bit of herself in front of her assistants and staff.
After death, these constraints disappeared, which explains why Tang Wanjun became increasingly unrestrained.
Because of Tang Wanjun, Shen Huai had to change his plans and go home first. After all, there were some things he needed to talk to Tang Wanjun about, and it would be more convenient to do so at home.
To their surprise, as soon as they got off the bus, they saw Chu Meibo carrying a schoolbag and coming back from outside, followed by Song Yimian carrying a pile of test papers.
Upon seeing Shen Huai, Song Yimian greeted him happily.
Chu Meibo stopped in her tracks, looked at the seat next to Shen Huai, and raised an eyebrow: "Who is this?"
Song Yimian: "???"
Song Yimian looked at Shen Huai and Ye Cang with a puzzled expression, scratching his head in confusion: "Sister Mei, this is Brother Ye. Are you so dizzy from doing math problems that you didn't recognize him?"
Chu Meibo: "..."
If Guo Degang were here, he would definitely applaud Song Yimian's courage.
However, Shen Huai had no choice but to let Song Yimian go back first, and then he took Chu Meibo into the room together.
Shen Huai introduced them to each other.
Chu Meibo's gaze swept over Shen Huai and Ye Cang with a strange expression before finally settling on Tang Wanjun: "You..."
Before she could finish speaking, Tang Wanjun floated over, her eyes sparkling with admiration: "So, you were actually from the Republic of China era, sister!"
Chu Meibo suddenly had a bad feeling.
Sure enough, after Tang Wanjun finished speaking, she clasped her hands in a very standard gesture and said, "I have long admired you, elder sister, and I would like to ask for your guidance!"
Chu Meibo: "..."
Tang Wanjun was also stunned when she saw Chu Meibo's expression, and hurriedly asked, "Isn't that how it is? During the Republic of China era, weren't they always fighting each other, like Chen Zhen, Huo Yuanjia, and Huang Feihong?"
Chu Meibo: "...What exactly gave you this wrong perception?"
Tang Wanjun asked doubtfully, "It's in the movies! That's how it's always portrayed in movies."
Shen Huai then remembered that martial arts films were indeed very popular in the last century, especially those from the Republican era, which created a number of famous martial arts stars.
I just didn't expect it would cause such a big misunderstanding.
After several people explained, Tang Wanjun finally understood that people in the Republic of China era did not greet each other with clasped hands, nor did everyone have martial arts skills.
She was somewhat disappointed: "All my longing and anticipation turned out to be a lie."
Chu Meibo: "..."
Mei Jie, who is usually calm and composed, felt powerless for the first time in front of someone, a powerlessness that even surpassed that of mathematics.
Tang Wanjun was devastated and went to a corner to isolate herself.
Shen Huai ignored her and instead looked at Chu Meibo: "Sister Mei, how did you do on your mock exam this week?"
Chu Meibo: "..."
She suddenly regretted driving Tang Wanjun away; otherwise, she wouldn't be facing such a soul-searching question from Shen Huai now.
Just as Chu Meibo was feeling utterly hopeless, the cook happened to come over, followed by Song Yimian who was carrying a clay pot for her. The cook smiled and said, "I ran into Xiao Song when I came over, and that's when I found out that Mr. Shen and you have already returned."
"I'm afraid I haven't prepared enough food. What would you like to eat? I'll go buy some now."
Shen Huai and Ye Cang didn't have many requirements, and he was about to say "whatever"
Suddenly, Tang Wanjun appeared out of nowhere, her hands clasped together, her expression devout: "Can I order food too? Can I wish for a plate of braised pork intestines?"
Shen Huai: "..."
Tang Wanjun blinked: "Mr. Shen, Sister Mei, please, I can exchange Lu Yang's embarrassing moments for this!"
Ye Cang: "Hey!"
Seeing Ye Cang's exasperated expression, Chu Meibo slowly said to the aunt, "Auntie, please add a plate of braised pork intestines!"
Ye Cang: "No way!"
Shen Huai coughed lightly: "I agree with Sister Mei."
Ye Cang: "???"
☆, Chapter 117
Although neither Auntie nor Song Yimian understood what they were talking about, Auntie still bought the pork intestines and happily cooked a plate of them, adhering to the principle of majority rule.
The aunt left after cooking, leaving only four people and a ghost in the room.
Seeing Tang Wanjun staring longingly at the plate of pork intestines, Chu Meibo reluctantly placed the intestines in front of an empty seat.
Tang Wanjun excitedly circled around Chu Meibo once, then obediently sat down in her seat.
But before she could even enjoy it, Song Yimian, who came out of the kitchen, naturally picked up the plate of fatty intestines and placed it back in front of Chu Meibo.
"Didn't Sister Mei specifically ask for this? Why is it placed so far away?"
Chu Meibo and the other two watched as the originally cute and sweet Tang Wanjun became so angry that she looked like she was about to rush up and bite Song Yimian.
Song Yimian sneezed and touched his neck, somewhat puzzled: "Why do I suddenly feel a little cold?"
Chu Meibo, Shen Huai, Ye Cang: "..."
In the end, Shen Huai couldn't stand it anymore and put the plate of fatty intestines back in front of Tang Wanjun.
Faced with Song Yimian's doubts, Shen Huai had to add an explanation: "This is an offering for a senior."
Upon hearing this, Song Yimian understood, but he still scratched his head, never expecting that someone as elite as Brother Shen would be so superstitious.
Shen Huai was also helpless. He used to be a staunch atheist, but ever since he saw the ghost, he had gone further and further down the path of feudal superstition.
Tang Wanjun finally got to enjoy the fatty intestines that belonged to her. Although as a ghost she couldn't eat them, just looking at and smelling them made her very happy.
Although her company restricted her from eating pork intestines all the time before she died, she could still eat them a few times whenever she had the chance. But after so many years since she died, she hasn't even smelled the aroma of pork intestines. Tang Wanjun is always very depressed. Why did she stay at the Hong Kong Coliseum? The place she cherishes most should be the pork intestine restaurant!
After finishing his meal, Shen Huai had to go to the company to deal with the backlog of work, but before he left, he made a point of setting three rules with Tang Wanjun.
Having experienced the previous big shots, Shen Huai had gained experience. No one knows what might happen suddenly, and there's no pattern to resurrection. If he's not careful, Tang Wanjun might be resurrected somewhere he can't see her.
If he discovers her in time, he can find her and take her to the hospital. But if he doesn't notice and no one else sees her, no one knows what will happen to Tang Wanjun after this death.
However, he did not tell Tang Wanjun these inside details, but only told her not to leave his sight.
Tang Wanjun was a little puzzled and muttered a few words, but since she wanted to go out with Shen Huai, she could only agree helplessly.
-
Shen Huai and Ye Cang's secret trip out for fun this time left them with a lot of work to do.
Now that they've returned to Zhongjing City, it's no longer convenient to delay. Almost as soon as Ye Cang's assistant learned of their return, he drove over immediately.
Ye Cang had two interviews, a business event, and a live broadcast in one afternoon, his schedule was completely packed.
Ye Cang knew that this was the consequence of his previous willfulness, so he could only obediently accept it.
As for Shen Huai, he can no longer just see himself as an agent. Since his identity was exposed, he has moved his office directly into the president's office.
Now, naturally, I must take on the responsibilities of the CEO.
Fortunately, Morningstar has always given each department a high degree of autonomy, and many things are resolved directly at the lower levels, so there are not many backlogged issues.
Mingwei stood nervously in front of Shen Huai, reporting on recent events at the company.
Ye Cang has just won the Cologne Award and is at the height of his career. He has recently received many collaboration offers. In the past, Ming Wei would probably have been overjoyed, but now she doesn't dare to accept any of them and can only remain vague, waiting for Shen Huai to return.
After Shen Huai inquired about the details, he accepted two offers as appropriate.
Mingwei breathed a sigh of relief and was about to leave when Shen Huai called her back: "What's been going on at Huayu Entertainment lately?"
"Huayu Entertainment?" Mingwei was stunned.
Although Morningstar has some reputation in the industry, it is still incomparable to the industry leader, Huayu. If it weren't for Ye Cang, Huayu probably wouldn't even give Morningstar a second glance.
However, Mingwei only dared to think this in her heart. On the surface, she thought about it seriously for a while before answering, "Recently, two new singers from Huayu have released albums, and the plagiarism incident involving Zhuo Feiyang seemed to cause some trouble a while ago, but it was suppressed later. That's about it..."
Shen Huai seemed to be deep in thought.
After meeting An Yuanjie in the United States, he didn't believe that the other party would be so magnanimous as to watch Morning Star rise to prominence. Besides, there was the matter of Shen Huai investigating the new singer being suppressed. The grudge was so deep, how could they possibly reconcile?
