Chapter 158: 158 Celebrate
“Okay, I’ll arrange that first thing in the morning,” the assistant nodded.
“That idiot surnamed Gu, if he doesn’t learn how to manage his fans, he might end up worse off than me,” Chen Beini said as she opened another bag of chips, but the assistant stopped her.
“Do you realize you’ve gained weight?”
“So, I’m heartbroken, can’t I eat something to cheer myself up?” Chen Beini guarded her snacks.
“Forgive my bluntness, but you don’t look heartbroken at all,” the assistant said, kneeling on the carpet, pretending to snatch the snacks away.
“With what you just said, I suddenly feel better since it means I probably never truly liked that Gu dog. Let’s celebrate.”
Early in the morning, Yancheng surprisingly revealed a hint of coolness.
At 6:30 a.m., as soon as the alarm rang, Shi Lan sat up in bed, and seeing the actual person Yan Shixiu beside her, she was momentarily stunned, then remembered that this was the man she and Sun Ling had deceived the day before.
Yan Shixiu, without his glasses, lay very peacefully on her right side. Although he was a 28-year-old uncle, his skin was still radiantly clear.
Soon, Sun Ling came to wake them up, and Shi Lan wasn’t sure when Yan Shixiu planned to leave. After getting out of bed, she closed the bedroom door before letting Sun Ling into the house.
Seeing the bedroom door closed, Sun Ling asked softly, “Is Mr. Yan still asleep? Tired?”
Upon hearing this, Shi Lan pushed her forehead, “What are you thinking? It’s all rubbish.”
Today was the grand opening of Glory’s largest flagship store in Yancheng and also a trial run of the new series. Given its excellent location and high foot traffic, the ribbon-cutting event Shi Lan attended would be very grand.
At seven in the morning, Shi Lan, accompanied by Sun Ling, headed out from the room and saw Tang Ze’s business car and… a tall man dressed in a black tracksuit, wearing a white cap and a face mask just outside the hotel.
Shi Lan and Sun Ling paused simultaneously, Sun Ling even stuttered, pointing in the direction of the hotel room, “This… Mr. Yan… ”
Tang Ze, noticing their curiosity, got out of the car and introduced, “Huo Zhao, 24 years old, professional bodyguard.”
Sun Ling was surprised. This physique was too similar to Yan Shixiu’s, wasn’t it?
“Miss Shi, hello,” Huo Zhao removed his mask and bowed to Shi Lan.
Only then did Shi Lan clearly see Huo Zhao’s features. Although his built was 90% similar to Yan Shixiu’s, their faces were not at all of the same type.
Mr. Yan’s kind of stunning beauty, once he put on glasses, appeared charmingly decadent, soul captivating. Whereas Huo Zhao, true to his name, had more rugged features, a definitive handsome style.
The two actually had completely different vibes, but with the mask on, fooling outsiders was more than sufficient.
“Please get in the car.”
The young lady and Sun Ling got into the car with full of doubts, and then Tang Ze explained, “I don’t know what Mr. Yan’s intention was, but from what I see, he wants to use Huo Zhao as a body double in certain situations, making it more convenient to meet you in private. But anyway, with a bodyguard by your side, Sun Ling and I feel more at ease. Boss, you wouldn’t object, right?”
Shi Lan fell silent for a few seconds, then suddenly said to Huo Zhao as he got in the car, “During today’s public event, show your face first. From now on, whether you wear a mask or show your face depends on your mood.”
Otherwise, given Huo Zhao’s physique, if he wore a mask the first time, the media might easily mistake him for Yan Shixiu himself.
“Understood, Miss Shi.”
Sun Ling couldn’t help but poke Shi Lan’s arm excitedly, “Boss, it looks like Mr. Yan was well-prepared, and he put a lot of effort into finding Huo Zhao.”
Despite whatever Ms. Shi thought internally, she retorted sharply, “Isn’t it for his own convenience?”
