Becoming The Bigshot's Only Love After Breaking Her Engagement-Chapter 559: The CEO’s Desperate Pursuit in the Flames of Regret
Lan looked upstairs.
Lin Yue said, "It’s okay, she’s still sleeping, she won’t hear."
"President Lin, this is a long story. It was when Miss Wan just debuted, there was an obsessive fan who particularly liked Miss Wan. He found a way to get her phone number and confessed his love to her over the phone day and night. Miss Wan blocked his number, so he switched phones and kept calling, sending all kinds of disgusting texts throughout the day. Back then, Miss Wan had just started her career, she was young and had never encountered such things, she cried in fear many times. The worst part was, this obsessive fan even stalked her, blocking her car with his own. As a result, her car crashed into a railing and the driver... died on the spot. The obsessive fan was caught, but Miss Wan witnessed the horrific scene and was so scared she could hardly function, not eating or drinking for days. It took a long time with a psychologist before she was able to recover. However, it left a shadow and she can’t handle receiving calls from fans anymore, otherwise she’ll get very frightened."
"I didn’t expect her to have gone through such a thing, why didn’t she quit acting at that time?" Lin Yue said with distress.
Lan said, "It’s not that simple to quit. At the time, Miss Wan was alone and had just barely gotten her chance to debut. Plus, she had signed a contract, quitting would mean compensating a large sum of money, which Miss Wan didn’t have at the time. No matter how tough it was, she had to hold on. Things have been stable these years, but I didn’t expect this thing to come up again. But don’t worry, President Lin, I’ll definitely find out which bastard is scaring Miss Wan and send them to the police station."
"Keep an eye on her these days, change her phone number again." Lin Yue said.
Lan nodded, "Okay, I’ll get Miss Wan a new number."
"What are you guys chatting about? So noisy." Wan Tianning came down from upstairs.
Lin Yue immediately said, "Nothing much, I just heard from Lan that you’re going for an audition today and was asking what role it is. Do you need my help?"
"What help can you provide? At most, you can be my driver. Lan, quickly get me breakfast. Is the makeup artist arranged?"
Lan said, "The makeup artist is already arranged, and breakfast is also brought over. Miss Wan, after you finish breakfast, the makeup artist should be ready."
"I made breakfast. It’s healthier to eat what I made." Lin Yue said.
Lan was surprised, "President Lin, you can make breakfast?"
"Of course."
"But I’ve already bought some."
"Eat it yourself."
Lin Yue said, and went to the kitchen to bring out breakfast.
Lan specifically ran over to look, and regardless of the style or color, everything was very well done, even more professional than places specializing in nutritional meals.
"President Lin, I really didn’t expect that you can cook?"
"It’s really tasty, I made it last night." Wan Tianning said while eating.
Lan looked up at Lin Yue, gave him a playful wink, and gave a thumbs-up.
Wan Tianning, with a dark face, said, "Do you think I’m blind? Playing tricks in front of me?"
"Hehehe, who would dare." Lan laughed awkwardly, quickly avoiding the subject.
She also didn’t eat breakfast, just happened to eat what Wan Tianning didn’t eat.
Originally bought a little extra, every time Wan Tianning doesn’t eat much, she just manages to eat it up.
Today, she didn’t eat a bit, so Lan was in luck.
Sure enough, after Wan Tianning finished breakfast, the makeup artist arrived.
According to the director’s style she was meeting today, they did her makeup and arranged appropriate clothes.
Usually, Wan Tianning dresses quite boldly and fashionably, always at the forefront of trends.
However, today she wore a very plain white linen long dress, with her hair tied into two braids, giving off a bit of a village belle vibe.
Her makeup looked like she wasn’t wearing any at all.
Anyway, Lin Yue couldn’t see any difference before and after the makeup, but she did indeed have makeup on, having spent hours in the room.
In short, she looked prettier, but it was hard to say exactly why.
"How about it? Do I look good like this?"
Wan Tianning spun around in front of Lin Yue with a smile and asked him.
Lin Yue looked at her tenderly and nodded, saying, "You look beautiful. You always look beautiful, today you’re especially stunning. Particularly pure, makes people’s eyes light up, like a breath of fresh air."
"President Lin, you’re so good with words. If it were us, we’d just say ’beautiful, drop-dead gorgeous.’ You come up with such phrases, it’s simply... erudite and learned."
"What erudition and learning, what is saying a few words considered erudition and learning?" Wan Tianning curled her lips.
Lin Yue thought for a moment and then said, "A beauty of the southern country, resplendent like the peach and plum blossoms."
"What does that mean?" Wan Tianning frowned, not understanding.
Lan also didn’t understand, curiously asking, "President Lin, what does that mean?"
Lin Yue smiled and said, "That’s from Cao Zhi’s poem ’Miscellaneous Poetry: Beauty of the Southern Country,’ meaning there is a beauty in the south whose looks are like blooming peach and plum blossoms, just like Ningning now, unrivalled in her charm."
"President Lin, you’re indeed erudite and learned, but I still don’t get it." Lan smiled awkwardly.
Wan Tianning rolled her eyes, "Stop showing off, hurry and get ready, come with me."
"You want me to go with you?" Lin Yue was surprised.
Wan Tianning said, "If not, who will drive us? You’re free anyway, and what if you wander around outside and bump into debt collectors again? Just follow me, if they come, I can help you handle it. I happen to need a good driver, you drive well, Lan is too busy alone, and your head is quick, how about being my driver assistant? Consider it paying me back a favor. How does that sound? Satisfied with my arrangement?"
"Satisfied, I’m willing to do whatever you arrange." Lin Yue said.
He quickly went upstairs to change clothes and left with them.
While on the road, Lan reminded Wan Tianning of some things again.
No wonder she needed to dress like this.
The role she was auditioning for today was for a seventies-themed movie. Didn’t girls dress and style their hair like that back then?
So Lan intended for her to give a good impression to the director as soon as they met.
"Miss Wan, there are quite a few people competing for this role with you today, but the others are not to be feared, only Song Quege is a bit troublesome." Lan reported on the people auditioning as well while in the car.
"Song Quege? She’s also auditioning?" Wan Tianning frowned. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚
Lan said, "Yes, she also wants to grab a slice of the pie. Director Li Zhuo is famous for making award-winning films. Who wouldn’t want to be part of his crew? Even if it doesn’t pay much, winning an award is what many actors dream of. So it’s not surprising there are many people at the audition. Song Quege is also an idol-turned-actress like you, Miss Wan. She’s also reached an age where she needs a career shift, of course she wants to give it a try. She has acted in quite a few films over the past few years, with decent response. If she can act in Director Li Zhuo’s film and win an award, her transition will be successful. So, she is determined to get this role and has put in a lot of effort."
