GBP Chapter 166 Shen Huaishan
Chapter 166 Shen Huaishan
The van had tinted windows to prevent peeping, and two girls dressed as staff members were chatting by the side of the vehicle, holding beautifully packaged cakes and milk tea.
The girl in the yellow dress opened her milk tea, took a sip, and exclaimed:
"She truly lives up to her reputation as Sri Lanka's leading lady. Even when the boss comes to visit the set, she's incredibly generous, buying milk tea that's never cheap."
The girl in the pink dress next to him chimed in:
"Exactly, exactly. But this seems to be the first time I've met the boss of Lanka. He's really good-looking, even better looking than those male celebrities in the industry who have the refined and domineering CEO style!"
The girl in the yellow dress gave her a playful push.
"He's a real CEO with a family fortune; those male celebrities who only have fake personas can't compare!"
The two girls exchanged a few playful words, and then the girl in the yellow dress sighed:
"But I wonder who will end up with such a high-quality man. I heard he's still unmarried and childless."
The girl in the pink dress was a little surprised:
"I remember reading on Baidu that he's over forty, rich, has social status, and is handsome. How could he not be married?"
"Could it be that there really is some kind of unrequited love or a 'white moonlight'?"
She laughed after saying that.
"How could that be? This isn't some romance novel. How could a rich person be so sentimental?"
The two chatted for a long time without reaching any conclusion. Then, another girl in a blue dress rushed out of the gate, and the three of them left together.
Holland's car was stuck in traffic for half a day and he was forced to listen to his rival's gossip.
After the three girls left, she let out a cold laugh:
"The farting gentleman is refined and easygoing."
"If you ask me, this old man doesn't get married simply because he's impotent and can't have sex, so he's afraid of holding back young, unmarried women."
Xie Junfei was amused by her tendency to spread rumors at the drop of a hat, and patted her shoulder with a slight smile:
"Alright, don't be angry anymore. The road is open now, let's go."
"Going back to the set sooner will allow me to talk to the producer."
Holland pursed his lips, rolled his eyes at the sky, then started the car and continued driving forward.
When we arrived at the film set, the people who had come to visit hadn't all left yet.
The three parked their car at the intersection and got out. They immediately saw Lu Ling'er and Shen Huaishan, who were the center of attention.
Xie Junfei took off her sunglasses and saw Shen Huaishan in person for the first time.
Because of the distance, she could only make out a rough outline.
Early summer in Haicheng was already getting hot. The man, dressed in a white shirt and gray trousers, was tall but not burly, and stood gentlemanly beside Lu Ling'er.
In the early summer heat, the man rolled up his sleeves, revealing his muscular forearms, and draped a tailor-made suit jacket over his arm, looking handsome and casual.
From behind, Shen Huaishan looked incredibly young, a stark contrast to the bald, pot-bellied producer beside him. Yet, the passage of time had imbued him with the mature air of an elder, and the gentleness and patience he displayed when he lowered his head to talk to Lu Ling'er was irresistibly charming.
Standing beside him, Lu Ling'er blushed as expected, her eyes filled with admiration, trust, and reliance on Shen Huaishan.
Standing next to Xie Junfei, Lu Wanzhou sighed softly upon seeing this scene:
"Not to mention Lu Ling'er, even I think Mr. Shen is incredibly charming."
Holland called to her repeatedly:
"Wanzhou, whose side are you on? Even if that's the truth, you can't boost others' morale while belittling your own!"
Lu Wanzhou was right. As soon as Shen Huaishan arrived, the young girls in the crew were all affected, and their eyes kept glancing towards Shen Huaishan.
Only Xie Junfei remained unaffected, taking out her small bag from the passenger seat and pulling out her phone to send a message to Huo Shen.
Huo Lan and Lu Wanzhou were in Berlin receiving awards at the celebration banquet and did not attend, so they were unaware of the relationship between Shen Huaishan and Xie Junfei.
Lu Wanzhou, who knew nothing of their past grievances and entanglements, was curious to see Xie Junfei so unaffected.
"Miss Xie, are you not interested in Mr. Shen at all?"
Xie Junfei smiled, but before she could say anything, Huo Lan preemptively took over the conversation:
"Hey, she's already engaged to Huo Shen. I wouldn't presume to say anything else, but just in terms of looks and charisma, I'd bet my cousin she's just as good-looking as him!"
"What's so great about Shen Huaishan? Ten Shen Huaishans wouldn't be as handsome as my cousin!"
As he spoke, Holland pulled Xie Junfei into his arms:
"Don't you think so, sister-in-law?"
Xie Junfei had just finished reporting to Huo Shen that she was safe and didn't hear what she was saying, so she just nodded casually.
Holland received approval and nodded in satisfaction.
"Alright, let's go talk to the producer. Damn it, how dare they steal my people's resources? They must have a death wish!"
After saying that, she grabbed Lu Wanzhou's hand, forced a fake smile, and strode confidently towards the group in her high heels:
"Oh my, isn't this President Shen? What a coincidence, I can't believe I'm running into you here."
Everyone knows that Venus and Lanca are fierce rivals in the industry. In the last Best Actress incident, Venus not only outshone Zhuang Sheng's performance in "The Mountain Keeper," but also received official approval from CCTV, instantly making Lu Wanzhou the most well-regarded new actress online, while also giving her competitor Lu Ling'er a hard kick.
Now that Shen Huaishan is finally here to help Lu Ling'er snatch Lu Wanzhou's voiceover and put Lu Wanzhou in a better position, who knew that Huo Lan would come to "demand an explanation" so aggressively.
Both sides were powerful CEOs, and the producers looked at each other in dismay, not daring to offend either of them. They could only wisely step back and give them space to fight like gods.
Shen Huaishan maintained his gentlemanly smile, glanced down at Huo Lan, and replied to her casually:
"I came to Shanghai on a business trip and just happened to be there to see the artists under my management. I didn't expect to run into President Lan here."
The producer, fearing they might cause trouble, quickly stepped in to smooth things over.
"Since everyone's here, and it's getting late, how about we go grab some late-night snacks?"
“Exactly, exactly. We’ve been filming this variety show for so long, everyone’s tired. It’s a good time to grab a late-night snack and relax,” the director chimed in. “Since everyone’s here, let’s just call it a chance to connect.”
Having said that, everyone waited for Shen Huaishan and Huo Lan, who held the highest positions in the room, to make their statements. Just as Shen Huaishan was about to refuse, he saw Xie Junfei walking towards them.
The weather in Haicheng in early summer is hotter than in Beijing. In addition, since we are going to a place like Tia with a slightly artistic atmosphere, Xie Junfei dressed up a bit more nicely.
She pulled her long, black hair, which reached her waist, back and secured it with a silk magnolia flower. She wore a light pink sleeveless halter-neck dress with a hidden thread detail on the hem, which shimmered as she moved. Her thin, narrow waist was cinched by a wide black ribbon, which was tied into a pretty bow at the back. She wore a classic women's watch on her wrist. She looked beautiful and commanding.
Shen Huaishan was clearly taken aback.
The producer next to him was also stunned.
Who is this rising star? We don't recognize them! Someone with that kind of charisma shouldn't be unknown!
Xie Junfei walked to Huo Lan's side, a faint smile on her delicate and beautiful face, and nodded to the stunned Shen Huaishan:
"Hello, Mr. Shen, I am Xie Junfei."
