Things Are a Bit Out of Control 10
“An, you really think so?”
“President Su… I’ve worked for you for years. Do you think I’d do things to hurt you?”
“It’s not about hurting me…” Su Yu felt torn.
“You truly need to let it go. I know you still like Dr. Huo, but you must make yourself look more composed. When she’s in trouble, you look even more anxious than her husband. Isn’t it embarrassing? I don’t want that for you.”
“Even you think this of me.”
“President Su, Dr. Huo will be fine. She has turned out fine every time she was in trouble. Now that she’s pregnant, she will try harder to protect herself.”
“You’re right. Besides, Qin Chu is more capable than me; I’m sure he can get her back safe.”
“Yeah. Everyone in the world knows Qin Chu cherishes his wife.”
“Okay. I won’t go.”
Finally, Su Yu listened to An and gave up his plan.
Indeed, him going wouldn’t change anything.
His love for Huo Mian had become a habit. Despite his determination to move on, he’d be anxious whenever she was in trouble.
“President Su, you’d better turn in now. Tomorrow, we have a release conference for the new movie. Ever since Miss Nie Lingxuan left, we hadn’t had a female performer good enough to star in a movie,” An complained.
“Who played the starring role?” Su Yu asked.
“A performer from another company; she’s quite popular and has starred in quite a few trending series. Her name is Chen Ailin.”
“Oh. I remember her.”
“Lots of reporters will be there tomorrow. Our company invested in the movie and paid Miss Chen big money to star in the movie. President Su, you must do some publicity for it since you’ve got lots of female fans on Weibo.” An chuckled.
“Get out of here,” Su Yu cursed.
Then, he remembered something and dug out Han Yueyao’s WeChat contact on his cellphone.
“Come out.” The tough tone showed Su Yu’s personality.
“?” Han Yueyao’s personality was unique, too. She replied to the big boss with only a question mark.
“Tomorrow morning, I’ll send my chauffeur to pick you up.”
“For what?” Han Yueyao got wary.
“What can I do? To sell you.”
“I’m not worth much.”
Su Yu: “…”
“Then I’ll eat you,” Su Yu replied in a huff.
“I have a strong body odor and it will choke you to death. I don’t want to murder my boss.”
Su Yu: “…”
“I don’t think I can continue the conversation with you… You don’t sound like a pretty girl.” Su Yu was exasperated.
“I’m not a pretty girl. I’m nobody and don’t have the burden of a celebrity, so I can say whatever I want.”
“Fine. You win.” Su Yu found it hard to talk to her.
“President Su, do you have something to tell me?” Han Yueyao asked.
“Of course. Why else would be here.”
“President Su, hurry up and tell me. My instant noodles are ready. They won’t taste good when they get too soft.”
“Tomorrow I’ll attend a new movie release conference. You go with me and show your face to the media.”
“No,” Han Yueyao refused without hesitation.
“Why not?”
“I’m neither the main character nor a supporting character in the movie. Why should I attend it?”
“Lots of reporters will be there and the event is broadcasted live. It’s a good opportunity to get people to know about you.”
“The opportunity is too good to give to a trainee. Thank you, President Su. My noodles are waiting for me. Bye.”
Refusing Su Yu, Han Yueyao opened the lid of her noodles and began to eat with gusto.
Su Yu was stupefied.
“An, do you remember the girl named Han Yueyao?”
“Yeah. Isn’t she Dr. Huo’s distant cousin?”
“Yeah. Do you think… she’s a bit not that bright?” Su Yu supported his chin with a fist and asked in puzzlement.
