Hearing her companion’s words, the staff swallowed her words.

Liu Ling’s mother rolled her eyes at them. “Hmph, how dare a lousy waiter challenge me?”

With that, Liu Ling’s mother pulled her son and swaggered away.

It was only when they disappeared into the elevator that the staff frowned and complained, “What kind of temperament is this? Why would Xia Wanyuan be involved with such a person? Is it true?”

“It’s true.” The companion whispered, “The last time I saw Xia Wanyuan come to the hotel to see them with my own eyes, tsk tsk. I feel that Xia Wanyuan has been deceived. Look at this family. They have no manners at all. Xia Wanyuan even treats them so well.”

The staff chatted as they walked in. When they passed by the suite, they glanced at the dirty scene inside. Everyone looked at each other and secretly prayed that they would not be assigned to this area to clean.

People in the hotel industry were most afraid of meeting such unhygienic guests.

——

An Rao and Bo Xiao’s wedding was a month later. Xia Wanyuan specially pushed away a lot of work and focused on designing a wedding dress for An Rao.

Time passed minute by minute. It was almost late at night, but Xia Wanyuan still did not come out of the study. Jun Shiling finally could not help but go in to look for her.

Just as he approached Xia Wanyuan, before he could speak, his gaze was attracted by her design.

Although it was still half-finished, it was still so dazzling that one could not look away, even for a man like Jun Shiling who was not interested in wedding dresses.

Xia Wanyuan carefully drew the carved design on her sleeve and turned to see Jun Shiling. “What time is it?”

“It’s eleven o’clock. Madam, it’s time to sleep.” Jun Shiling shifted his gaze from the paper and looked at Xia Wanyuan.

“Okay,” Xia Wanyuan said as she carefully folded the design and placed it in a huge golden silk box in the corner.

Jun Shiling glanced at it and saw that other than An Rao’s wedding dress design, there was also a rolled-up blueprint in the box.

Jun Shiling walked over and wanted to reach for it. “What is this?”

Xia Wanyuan panicked and turned around to hug Jun Shiling’s waist, pulling his hand back and placing it on her waist. “You can’t look.”

Jun Shiling raised an eyebrow slightly. “Is there anything I can’t see?”

Xia Wanyuan’s dimples appeared. “I’ll show you in the future. Not now.”

Jun Shiling knew Xia Wanyuan too well. He had already guessed what it was, but he still followed Xia Wanyuan’s intentions. “Okay, I won’t look if you say so.”

Only then did Xia Wanyuan turn around and carefully put down An Rao’s design.

Even though Xia Wanyuan had already rejected a lot of work for this design, there was a schedule that she had to go to. It was known as the most important “Golden Film Award” in the domestic film industry.

Ever since it was established, the most eye-catching works and actors would be selected every year. This award was extremely important.

It could be said that being able to win a “Golden Eagle Award” meant that from now on, this actor had a place in the film industry.

And Xia Wanyuan and Su Yueran were nominated for the Best Actress Award at the “Golden Film Award”.

“Wanyuan, you must wear something more beautiful this time. The super beautiful kind!!” Chen Yun was worried sick about Xia Wanyuan’s appearance. “Even if we can’t win the Best Actress Award, we have to suppress Su Yueran in terms of aura.”

Lu Li worked with Chen Yun every day, so she naturally told Chen Yun about how Xia Wanyuan had sent her to the hospital after she was bitten that day and missed the audition.

Chen Yun had been in the entertainment industry for so many years, so he could still smell something abnormal.

However, objectively speaking, Su Yueran’s acting skills were still not bad. Furthermore, Su Yueran had many movie works. Although he trusted Xia Wanyuan very much, the objective conditions were there after all. He did not think that Xia Wanyuan could firmly win the Best Actress Award.

Taking a step back, Su Yueran had a higher chance of winning the award than Xia Wanyuan.

However, she would not lose face. Even if she did not win the award, she had to show her cards.

Mu Feng was not around, so Chen Yun specially invited the top styling team in the country to style Xia Wanyuan.

After trying on one set of clothes after another, Chen Yun was not satisfied. “It doesn’t match Wanyuan’s skin color.” “The clothes aren’t beautiful enough.” “Wanyuan is too beautiful. The clothes look dull.”

Xia Wanyuan looked at the mirror helplessly. “I designed a spring gown for Xiu Yi last week. Why don’t you try that?”

“Okay!” Chen Yun clapped his hands. How could we have forgotten that Xia Wanyuan, this big designer, was sitting here? Why would we need to find other clothes? 

Not long after, Xiu Yi sent someone to send the gown over. When Xia Wanyuan changed and walked out of the fitting room, everyone was stunned.

“Wow.” Little stars began to appear in Lu Li’s eyes. “Sister Xia is too beautiful.”

Only such an outstanding and beautiful person could make Xuan Sheng fall deeply in love with her. Thinking of Xuan Sheng, Lu Li’s eyes darkened.

Chen Yun clenched his fists in excitement. “It’s too good! I’ll definitely suppress that Su Yueran this time.”

While the stylist was doing Xia Wanyuan’s hair, Chen Yun secretly took a photo and sent it to his current parent, Jun Shiling.

Jun Shiling raised an eyebrow when he received the photo.

He put his phone back in his pocket and listened to his subordinate’s report seriously.

However, an hour later, Jun Shiling could not help but call for a pause. “The remaining few people will report separately tomorrow. Today’s meeting is over. Dismissed.”

With that, Jun Shiling strode out of the office with Lin Jing.

The remaining people who had yet to report their work silently looked at each other and saw despair in each other’s eyes. What’s the difference between reporting to CEO Jun alone and courting death? 

At the award ceremony.

As the “Golden Film Award” had a high status in the industry, the actors involved were almost all big shots, and there was no lack of top celebrities. The fans at the venue were getting louder and louder.

Xia Wanyuan and Su Yueran could be said to be the two top female celebrities in the entertainment industry. The fans naturally competed secretly. The lights and lanterns for support lined up an entire street.

Although the night was still very cold, it was spring after all. Coincidentally, it was still the spring equinox. The organizers had specially arranged thousands of flowers on both sides of the red carpet and moved the entire spring to the ceremony venue in advance.

The media reporters were already waiting, and the live-stream platform was packed.

One by one, familiar actors walked across the red carpet. The fans’ voices rose and fell.

However, everyone knew that the two most eye-catching people tonight had not entered the venue.

The fans looked forward to it. Finally, nearly half an hour after the red carpet began, they heard the host announce.

“Su Yueran and Xia Wanyuan are about to arrive at the venue. Fans, are you ready?”
