Chapter 659 - Only Imagination Restricted by Poverty
“Ms. Lin!” After telling people to distribute the coffee, milk tea, and pastries, Ah Zhan jogged towards Lin Nuan and said, “My boss wishes to have a word with you alone!”
“Giving out cakes, pastries, coffee, and milk tea in my name—what’s the meaning of this?” Lin Nuan’s unhappiness was evident on her face.
“Ms. Lin, this will help you leave a good impression on others!” Ah Zhan was all smiles and very respectful towards Lin Nuan.
“I know that. If I wanted to provide refreshments, I would have done it myself, or asked my manager, my friends… or my husband to do it for me! I would never ask you to do it!” Lin Nuan was furious, and it was hard for her to hold back.
Ah Zhan wasn’t annoyed, and he only smiled. “But none of them did it!”
Despite not doing anything, the innocent Fang Yan was still criticized.
“Sir…” Fang Yan cleared her throat and casually passed the coffee and cake to a staff member beside her. She smiled and said, “I am Lin Nuan’s manager. The reason we didn’t provide refreshments is that the center of attention today should be Director Chen. Why would others steal the limelight from him? Are you really doing this to help Lin Nuan, or are you just creating trouble for her?”
Ah Zhan continued to smile. “Does Ms. Lin want to succeed in the film industry in the future? If not, why is she afraid of provoking the director? It’s alright, even if she does. Any role that Ms. Lin wants, as long as my boss says the word…”
His tone was extremely arrogant!
Fang Yan raised an eyebrow as she looked at the man before her, who couldn’t speak Mandarin fluently. “Who’s your boss? I’d like to get to know him!”
“All you have to know is that when my boss wanted Shi Hanchu to become famous, Shi Hanchu became the youngest actor to win the Best Actor Award for both categories. There’s no problem in the world that money can’t solve. There’s only imagination restricted by poverty…”
Fang Yan clearly didn’t take Ah Zhan’s words seriously.
It was the first time she met such an arrogant person. She was so angry that her chest hurt.
“Young man, do you know how many Best Actors and Best Actresses Ms. Fang has helped to develop?” The dazzling beauty Su Manman walked over slowly, her movements flippant as she looked at Ah Zhan with disdain. “Even if your boss is rich, is he richer than Lin Nuan’s husband?”
Clearly, Su Manman already noticed that the fan who confessed to Lin Nuan was Ah Zhan’s boss.
The moment Ah Zhan recalled that Fu Huai’an, Lin Nuan’s husband, was “Mr. Moral”, he felt even less confident.
He pursed his lips and decided not to look at Su Manman, instead only talking to Lin Nuan, “My boss only wishes to help you!”
Lin Nuan looked at Ah Zhan with a cold and calm gaze, her tone unappreciative as she lowered her voice and said, “I hope this won’t happen again in the future! Your boss… please tell him to stop wasting his effort!”
The people beside Lin Nuan that had heard her conversation with Ah Zhan—You Nainai, Su Manman, and Fang Yan—were no fools. First, there was Li Muyang’s confession, and now, Ah Zhan was giving out pastries, cakes, coffee, and milk tea in Lin Nuan’s name. They could more or less tell that Li Muyang was interested in Lin Nuan.
Su Manman’s beautiful eyes scanned the room. There was no sign of Li Muyang. A look of displeasure was on her face. If Li Muyang were there… she would definitely diss him!
Ah Zhan paused for a moment. He seemed to have something to say, but he swallowed back his words firmly. He said, “If Ms. Lin remembers how I saved you in Venice, please treat this as me asking you to repay your debt of gratitude. All that I ask is for you to say a few sentences to my boss. Of course… Ms. Lin’s personal bodyguard can follow!”
You Nainai never had a good impression of Ah Zhan. Even though she found out later that Ah Zhan saved Lin Nuan, she still minded the fact that he and Li Muyang took Lin Nuan away.
She especially minded Li Muyang’s extraordinary interest in Lin Nuan.
To You Nainai, someone like him—who wanted to snatch away someone else’s wife, even when he knew that the person was married—should be tied to a rocket and shot into the sun.
Su Manman, on the other hand, was very surprised. She didn’t expect the person who saved Lin Nuan back in Venice to be the guy right in front of her…
The demon-like pretty boy whose overwhelming beauty superseded that of women was this guy’s boss?
One couldn’t repay someone who saved their life—asking for her hand in marriage? Was the boss interested in the beauty rescued by his henchman? Did he want the beauty saved by his henchman to marry him?
They wouldn’t even dare write something like this for TV dramas!
Lin Nuan gave Ah Zhan a hard stare and spoke only after a long while, saying, “Ah Zhan, I’m grateful that you saved me that day. Whatever material wishes you have, I’ll do my best to fulfill them. But you can’t force me to meet someone I don’t want to meet!”
Seeing all of the fans gradually return, Ah Zhan lowered his voice and asked Lin Nuan, “Does Ms. Lin really want so many people to look over here and try to guess what happened?”
“Ah Zhan, please call me Mrs. Fu!” Lin Nuan said to Ah Zhan, her gentle voice full of determination.
Ah Zhan’s lips moved, then he finally said, “Mrs. Fu, I know my boss. If you don’t meet him this time, he’ll have ten thousand methods to make you meet him obediently. Why… must you make such a huge fuss? Trust me, meeting my boss will benefit you far more than if you don’t meet him! It really will!”
Ah Zhan was telling the truth. No one was clearer about the methods Li Muyang used to snatch over Shi Hanmei than him…
And this time, letting Li Muyang come to China at the expense of his health was truly for Lin Nuan’s own good.
“My boss just wants to talk…” Ah Zhan’s attitude was clearly less arrogant than when he was talking to Fang Yan. His voice was low and seemed almost pleading.
“You’re crazy!” Su Manman grabbed Lin Nuan’s wrist and went backstage. You Nainai followed behind closely.
Su Manman knew that since they were able to save a person in Venice, they were definitely not simple people!
It wasn’t wise to carelessly engage in conflict with them before finding out more about their background. Hence, Su Manman grabbed Lin Nuan and left…
…
In the dressing room.
Lin Nuan nearly scrubbed off the skin on the back of her hand. She furrowed her eyebrows and forcefully squeezed the hand sanitizer Fang Yan gave her onto the back of her hand. She then scrubbed her hand… and rinsed it with water. Afterward, she squeezed out more hand sanitizer and scrubbed and rinsed her hand again.
“That’s hand sanitizer…” Fang Yan looked at Lin Nuan and shook her head. She opened a bottle of water for Lin Nuan and placed it on the table for her. Then, she passed another two bottles of water to You Nainai and Su Manman.
Su Manman didn’t take it. Although she didn’t ask about what specifically happened in Venice, she still had a bad feeling about Li Muyang. She asked, “That male fan from earlier isn’t a fan, is he?”
Just as Su Manman finished speaking, Lin Nuan’s phone rang…
Su Manman looked at the phone for Lin Nuan. “It’s Fu Huai’an calling.”
Lin Nuan only stopped abusing the back of her hand after hearing that.
