The New Year had arrived, and many movies were being screened. Since Chu Yang had nothing else to do at home, she went to the city with Chu Luo to watch a patriotic movie.
First, Chu Yang and Chu Luo went to the library to buy study materials for Chu Luo. After that, the two of them went to the movie theater. Before the movie started, Chu Yang went to the restroom, while Chu Luo waited with two sodas and popcorn.
When Chu Yang came back, she took the soda, and the two checked their tickets and entered the theater. Li Qinglu and Gu Xiao had also arrived at the same movie theater. The two had previously quarreled and broken up several times, but they had recently reconciled. Li Qinglu saw Chu Yang's back and said, "Hmm?"
Gu Xiao asked, "What's wrong?"
Li Qinglu shook her head. "I think I saw Chu Yang."
Gu Xiao snorted. "Why bother paying attention to her? Don't ruin the mood."
Li Qinglu nodded, and then they bought sodas and popcorn and went in to watch the movie. Upon entering the auditorium, Li Qinglu's seat was behind Chu Yang, and she realized that Chu Yang was watching the same movie as them. There was also a male student sitting next to Chu Yang, but the dim lighting made it difficult to see his face clearly.
After sitting down, Li Qinglu whispered to Gu Xiao, "I saw Chu Yang. She's over there." Li Qinglu pointed to a spot in front. "There seems to be a male student next to her, not Chi Yan." Li Qinglu recognized Chi Yan, but the male student's silhouette looked nothing like him.
Gu Xiao glanced over and felt a sense of satisfaction. Ha, so Chi Yan had this day too? Being cheated on!
As the campus heartthrob at A University, although everyone said he couldn't compare to Chi Yan, Gu Xiao sometimes doubted himself. But now, he felt he was much better than Chi Yan. At least Chi Yan was terrible at judging people! Who didn't know what kind of person Chu Yang was?
Gu Xiao took a photo of Chu Yang and the male student next to her, capturing the moment when they were sharing a bucket of popcorn.
The movie was a patriotic film that moved people to tears, even Chu Yang was so touched that she took out a tissue to wipe her eyes.
After the movie ended, Chu Yang and Chu Luo left directly, while Li Qinglu and Gu Xiao followed behind them.
Soon, Chu Yang and Chu Luo disappeared from their sight, but as the two were walking side by side, Li Qinglu secretly took a photo of their backs.
Meanwhile, Chi Yan was counting the days, feeling that the school break was too long.
When Chu Yang returned home, she told Chi Yan about her day's activities. Chi Yan said disappointedly, "I wanted to watch it too, but no one accompanied me."
It was impossible not to have someone to accompany him; it was just not the person he wanted.
"When I return to Jing City, I'll go with you again."
"Okay."
On the eighth day of the New Year, Chi Yan didn't want to stay at home anymore, so he went to work with his grandfather, joining the Propaganda Department. When the news reached others, they breathed a sigh of relief.
The Chi Corporation started out as a technology company, mainly producing computers, communication devices, and other electronic equipment like phones, computers, games, and cars. Previously, Chi Yan had created a small game himself, intending to sell it to another company for some money to buy a gift for Chu Yang. Unexpectedly, he later found out that the Chi Corporation wanted to buy it...
In the end, he did get the money, which was his grandfather's allowance. As for the game, he gave it to the company for free since he had a share in the company's profits.
Recently, the company hired a new spokesmodel for one of their phone models - a top actress named Lin Yueyue with millions of fans, good reputation, and popularity. However, she was known for frequent online fan wars, but which top star's fans didn't engage in fan wars? The more popular the star, the more fan wars. The wealthy Chi Corporation had several people vying for the endorsement deal, but Lin Yueyue eventually secured it through her connections.
The endorsement deal covered the Greater China region and was worth millions, making it an lucrative opportunity.
On the tenth day of the New Year, Lin Yueyue and her crew arrived at the 8th floor of the Chi Corporation building, where the Propaganda Department was located, to shoot a commercial.
When Lin Yueyue arrived, many people from the Propaganda Department came out to greet her, as they were quite curious about the big celebrity.
Lin Yueyue greeted everyone warmly. Jin Xi, the Deputy Director of the Propaganda Department, also came to welcome Lin Yueyue and her team, exchanging pleasantries with Lin Yueyue's manager for a while. Afterward, the crew took Lin Yueyue to the shooting location.
As a top celebrity with a tight schedule, everyone got busy quickly. Meanwhile, Chi Yan was familiarizing himself with the company's spokesperson when a colleague approached him. "Chi Yan, Deputy Director Jin Xi wants you to go to Room 803. They're shooting a commercial there, and she wants you to observe."
Chi Yan nodded. "Okay. You don't need to call me Young Master. Just call me Chi Yan."
Since attending the annual meeting, the entire company knew that Chi Yan was the grandson of the Chairman, and he was here to learn.
When they learned about Chi Yan, everyone excitedly discussed him in private.
"Young Master Chi Yan is so handsome! Ahhh!"
"Oh my god, this must be the male lead from a novel. My male lead finally has a face!"
"This must be what the future CEO looked like in his youth."
"The Chairman asked Young Master Chi Yan to come to the company to learn. Does that mean he'll take over in the future?"
"I heard there's another grandson too."
"The other one is working in a government position, I think."
"Oh, so it might be Young Master Chi Yan who takes over in the future."
"I heard he's still in university, so even if he takes over, it'll probably take a few years."
"Not necessarily, he might join the company right after graduating."
"I wonder if he has a girlfriend? He's so handsome, I don't know which young lady would be worthy of him."
Hearing this, Jin Xi thought: Don't even think about it, he already has a girlfriend.
...
When Chi Yan arrived at Room 803, he saw a woman standing in front of a white curtain, holding one of their company's new phone models and posing professionally for the photographer.
Lin Yueyue's assistant, Xiao Feng, noticed someone entering and looked over. Damn! She had been in the entertainment industry for a while, but this guy still looked exceptionally handsome. Was he a new artist? What was he doing here? Could it be that the Chi Corporation had invited him to appear in a commercial with her boss, Lin Yueyue?
In an instant, Xiao Feng had many thoughts racing through her mind. She nudged Lin Yueyue's manager, Elder Brother Chen. "Elder Brother Chen, look at that guy over there."
Elder Brother Chen looked over, his eyes lighting up. Who was this guy? Sign him immediately!
Xiao Feng, realizing what he was thinking, quickly said, "You don't think he's here to shoot the commercial with Yueyue, do you? But we didn't hear anything about that. Look, he seems quite familiar with Deputy Director Jin Xi."
Elder Brother Chen considered this and walked over to Chi Yan, asking Jin Xi, "Who is this..."
Jin Xi was about to introduce Chi Yan as the company's Young Master when Chi Yan spoke first, "Hello, I'm a new employee in the Propaganda Department. My name is Chi Yan."
