Chapter 74: How is this possible?
Chen Beini instantly petrified, as everyone saw her unrequited affection.
“Miss Chen, could you please show me the way?”
Seeing Chen Beini’s blushing face, unable to step down from her embarrassment, the assistant hurried over to help, pointing to Shi Lan in front of the camera setup, “Mr. Lei, An Lan is right over there.”
Upon hearing this, the man thanked him and walked toward Shi Lan with his subordinates.
Shi Lan and Director Tang were discussing whether to reshoot the previous scene. At that moment, the head of Glory had walked up behind Shi Lan and said politely and courteously, “Miss An, I am Lei Yanghong. I am very sorry for what happened yesterday at Glory—so I came especially to apologize to you. I hope you can forgive my arrogance and rudeness.”
The people present were stunned.
They hadn’t heard, right? Someone from Glory had actually come in person to apologize to Shi Lan?
Thinking of how just moments ago Chen Beini mocked Shi Lan for overestimating herself, by fabricating the lie that Glory had called her, and now they had actually come knocking and were even apologizing with humility? This was a real slap in the face, a searing hit!
However, at that moment, Shi Lan was completely ignoring the other party, continuing her discussion with Director Tang about the plot.
The people from Glory must have understood Shi Lan’s intention and stood obediently by her side as if being punished.
Indeed, it was a punishment!
Just now, Chen Beini had warmly approached a cold shoulder, and now the other party was being cold-shouldered by Shi Lan. Rounded off, it was as if Chen Beini was slapped by Shi Lan—and it was thunderously loud.
Chen Beini’s face had swelled red to her neck, humiliated to the extent of having no place to hide.
It was Director Tang who showed measure, pausing his discussion with Shi Lan: “We can’t make our distinguished guest wait too long.”
“Yesterday I also waited for six hours,” Shi Lan replied.
“I am sorry, truly sorry, Miss An. It was our negligence. Please do not take it to heart,” Lei Yanghong added. He had seen the technical email and could hardly believe it was from a minor celebrity. It encompassed too many fields, more than even a high-level executive like himself might understand or strategize.
To know, Miss Shi’s talents surpassed even her grandfather’s in making money. An Asian-level female tycoon was not renowned without reason.
Thus, Lei Yanghong’s apology was sincere. However, he needed to confirm whether someone had been assisting Shi Lan behind the scenes. If he verified that Shi Lan indeed possessed such treasures of mind, he would be happy to accept the criticisms in the email and would reconsider Glory’s position.
“I wonder, Miss An, could you honor me with your presence for a simple dinner tonight?”
Shi Lan did not engage with his request, but took the phone from Sun Ling, checked the time, and then said, “I still have two scenes left.”
“No problem, you are busy. We will wait,” they said, withdrawing to the side.
As Chen Beini witnessed all this, she felt extremely uneasy, because she had never expected Shi Lan to secure such a resource. Not only had she secured it, but the head of the company had personally come to apologize and was setting up a dinner?
“How is this possible?” Chen Beini was hugely impacted and finally realized what she had been saying earlier in front of the crew members.
Her humiliation of Shi Lan, her undervaluation of her, now Miss Shi returned it all with the loudest slap—no… this wasn’t enough because she had been merely a figurehead before, but Shi Lan was the full spokesperson. If this news got out, who knows if she would go insane.
