Chapter 29: The Celebration Banquet



Chapter 29

She thought back and it seemed like she didn\'t offend him, right...Bai Yin was too lazy to think about it, focusing on her career was the proper thing to do.

The filming of "Colorful Robe" was smoothly completed, and it quickly became a hot series after going online on the video website.

Relying on the super big IP, but because the plot was altered, it changed from the original detective drama to a coming-of-age romantic drama about the heroine. The male lead, as the minister of justice...almost became like a background board.

The reason the script was changed like this was mainly because capital was strongly promoting Song Anxi at the time, wanting her to have more scenes.

And Joe Yanshi\'s popularity was not as high as Song Anxi\'s, so he naturally did not dare to complain and obeyed the arrangement.

Unexpectedly, Song Anxi acted unscrupulously and ruined the female lead herself, giving Bai Yin this great opportunity out of the blue.

From the start of filming to the launch, this drama had been very controversial all along, because it was an altered story. Originally not many people were optimistic about it. Adding that a newcomer was playing the female lead role, it seemed like a waste for all the top stars to play supporting roles. No matter how sincere the post-production team was, it was estimated that it would still fail badly.

Even several investors of "Colorful Robe" were not very optimistic about this drama. They felt Bai Yin was just a vase heavily promoted by Chen Huaixiao.

But unexpectedly, after the first six episodes were launched, the audience accidentally discovered that not only was this newcomer a great dancer, her acting was also surprisingly brilliant.

There were many far-fetched parts in the altered storyline, but all these far-fetched and awkward storylines were...forcibly brought back by the female lead\'s acting!

The audience was actually engrossed in the drama -

"This drama, how to say, it\'s awkward but addictive, I can\'t stop watching it for a while!"

"The female lead is really good at acting, and good at crying too...the sense of immersion is too strong."

"As an original fan, I really thought Yuanhuan walked out of the book in episode 6 during the Colorful Robe dance."

"She is Yuanhuan in my mind!"

"Just for Bai Yin\'s acting, even if the detective drama was altered into a coming-of-age romantic drama for the heroine, I would still watch it!"

...

With the hot airing of the drama, the ratings of "Colorful Robe" kept rising. It was basically trending on hot search every day.

Shen Bin collected Bai Yin\'s contract and put it in the company archives. During those days, he kept sighing that Chen Huaixiao\'s eyes had never been wrong before. Bai Yin was really the biggest dark horse this year.

He recalled the contract signing that happened not long ago, and suddenly had a brainwave.

The chairman and his wife\'s political marriage was probably because the chairman saw the potential in his wife, in order to sign her, he did not hesitate to use the honey trap. Finally, in the fierce competition with other entertainment companies, he successfully brought in this potential stock under his banner.

No wonder every time the chairman returned home, he would come to work the next day with dark eye circles.

He was so rich yet still worked with such passion. What right did Shen Bin have to be a slacker!

...

Signing with Xingxing Group, Bai Yin\'s path had opened smoothly.

Although Chen Huaixiao had not seen her recently, he had assigned her the company\'s top agent.

Chen Huaixiao: "Liu Yue is experienced. The artists under her have developed quite well. Listen to her more in the future."

Little Braid: "I don\'t trust others. Sun Lili graduated top of her class in media studies. She has a wide network and knows a lot of people. Let her join the company and bring me in."

Chen Huaixiao: "That\'s impossible. Just because you were popular in one drama, you\'re being cocky?"

Little Braid: "I\'m Chen Huaixiao\'s wife, shouldn\'t I be cocky?"

Looking at the message she sent, calling him "husband" so affectionately now that he had announced their relationship publicly. Yet this woman was quick to cover it up with drawings, afraid that being Chen\'s wife would hinder her path to stardom.

Little Braid: "Sun Lili said she submitted her resume. Please pay attention to it when the time comes, hubby. [starry eyes]"

Chen Huaixiao: "Go call hubby on Weibo and I\'ll consider it."

Little Braid: "Going now."

Chen Huaixiao opened Weibo and started refreshing every few seconds.

In the conference room, everyone secretly glanced at Chen Huaixiao with their eyes.

He was texting during the morning meeting, his phone vibrating and making the table buzz continuously. This was already a precedent-shattering event in itself. But now he was even frequently refreshing Weibo!

The key point was...the Weibo refresh notification sound was still on, "dong dong dong" every few seconds.

This was completely different from the usual cold elite image of the chairman!

...

Of course Bai Yin would not actually use her main Weibo account to announce her relationship with Chen Huaixiao. She created a small account called "Chen Huaixiao\'s Little Braid".

Chen Huaixiao\'s Little Braid: "@Chen Huaixiao, hubby, please please please."

After posting this Weibo, Bai Yin went to the dressing room and started putting on makeup and changing into a new outfit for the Colorful Robe cast banquet tonight. She no longer paid attention to this Weibo post.

She would not be naive enough to think Chen Huaixiao would agree to her request just because of some casual jokes.

Every day there were countless fans @ing Chen Huaixiao on the Internet, passionately confessing their love to him. Her small account would probably be drowned out by his wife fans in seconds.

She also sent Sun Lili a text message -

"If you want to join Xingxing, you have to apply for the job yourself, go through the proper procedures."

Sun Lili: "I know, your husband is ruthless, won\'t give anyone face."

Bai Yin: "That\'s right."

Sun Lili: "Still, thanks buddy. My resume has been submitted, there will definitely be no issues!"

Bai Yin: "All the best!"

Five minutes later, the excited and trembling Sun Lili sent another text to Bai Yin -

"I take back what I said about your husband being ruthless!"

Bai Yin: "?"

Sun Lili: "I received a job offer from Xingxing Group! The HR department was so polite and nice! They said Chairman Chen personally picked me!"

Bai Yin: "???"

What the hell!

...

The Colorful Robe celebration banquet invited many entertainment media reporters, as well as investors and cast.

The magnificent banquet hall of the Rockefeller Hotel was packed full of people and the atmosphere was lively.

Of course, Chen Huaixiao, the main investor, also attended.

He sat at the head table in the best seat, with a few men in suits and leather shoes accompanying him.

The white shirt clung tightly to his muscular neck, exuding a touch of ascetic beauty. Under the lights, his chiseled features were illuminated, bringing out his noble and elegant temperament even as he chatted and laughed with those around him. He was graceful and refined, not at all vulgar.

Although there were many young and handsome fresh meat stars relying on their looks to earn a living, Chen Huaixiao always had the strongest aura.

He ate politely, chatting with the men around him. Yet his gaze kept glancing at Bai Yin from time to time, making her restless.

The two had not met for some time recently, but they texted every day about random things, just chatting away.

A few minutes later, Chen Huaixiao got up to leave. On his way out, he gave Bai Yin a meaningful look.

Bai Yin knew what that look meant.

Of course she could completely ignore it, but the small fire in her heart was acting up. Her eyes followed Chen Huaixiao\'s straight back figure...

As if possessed, she actually followed along.

Chen Huaixiao entered the private elevator. He kept pressing the open door button, his calm dark eyes looking at the woman who had followed him in.

After looking around and making sure no one else was around, Bai Yin finally walked in too.

Chen Huaixiao took out a card and tapped it. His long fingers pressed the button for the 32nd floor.

The two of them stood in the enclosed elevator space, not saying a word to each other. Yet a suggestive atmosphere...quietly brewed.

Chen Huaixiao\'s burning gaze sized her up through the mirror opposite them.

She wore a light pink evening gown, setting off her delicate and beautiful appearance. There were exquisite embroidered patterns on the skirt, highlighting her elegant charm. Although it was just light makeup, under the bright lights her features were still vivid and enchanting, exuding an allure that seized one’s heart.

There were also many charming female stars present, invited by the cast out of friendship. But compared to Bai Yin, they lacked a certain allure.

With just that bewitching and devastatingly beautiful face of hers, she could captivate half the entertainment industry.

With a "ding", the elevator arrived at the 32nd floor.

Chen Huaixiao directly swiped his card to enter the presidential suite right opposite. The door...was left ajar, as if waiting for her.

Bai Yin hesitated for a few seconds before following him in.

The room curtains were tightly shut, not a single ray of sunlight could get in. As soon as Bai Yin entered, she was pressed against the door by the man.

His hot kisses sealed her lips, the sandalwood scent on his body instantly swept over her entire world.

He breathed heavily, kissing her lips, ears, neck...

Bai Yin had never had any resistance towards this man.

"Chen Huaixiao, we\'re legally married, what\'s there to be afraid of."

Bai Yin felt her lipstick must be smeared all over her face already. Finally, she steeled her heart and put her hand against his chest, asking: "This time, it\'s because of my friend joining the company?"

Chen Huaixiao\'s kisses paused for a moment, before becoming even more frenzied, biting her lips heavily.

Perhaps only using this pretext would she willingly let him possess her.

Chen Huaixiao didn\'t care, he just wanted her.

Bai Yin felt the tang of blood from the broken skin. She pushed him harder: "Chen Huaixiao, that hurts!"

Chen Huaixiao restrained himself slightly and gently licked the blood on her lips: "Remember the pain then."

Bai Yin was also not polite, biting him fiercely back: "I didn\'t insist that you must help Sun Lili. She was already preparing for her interview."

"Fine, I\'ll tell HR to reject her and never hire her."

Chen Huaixiao licked his own bleeding lip, about to leave. Bai Yin quickly put her arm around his neck to pull him back.

He took the chance to lift her up.

Bai Yin lowered her voice and said: "In the future, every time I ask you for something, will you ask for this kind of repayment?"

"This is not your repayment to me. This is Madam Chen\'s duty." Chen Huaixiao enunciated word for word in her ear.

...

In the end, Chen Huaixiao still considered her worries. This time, it was a quickie.

After tidying herself up, Bai Yin went downstairs. If anyone asked, she would say she just went to the restroom.

The entertainment reporters were busy photographing the big shot stars present. Naturally they wouldn\'t pay special attention to the short time Bai Yin was missing.

Only the male lead Joe Yanshi, who acted alongside Bai Yin in the drama, noticed that her eye makeup was smudged. He came over concernedly and asked if she was feeling unwell.

Bai Yin just shook her head, without explaining anything.

Soon, the Q&A session with reporters at the celebration banquet began. The director and cast came on stage one by one to answer the reporters\' questions.

The liveliest on stage was none other than Zhuo Ziran, who played the villainess Green Snake. Several times when reporters asked questions to the male lead Joe Yanshi, Zhuo Ziran snatched the spotlight.

Zhuo Ziran was used to stealing scenes in the crew.

And Joe Yanshi\'s popularity was lower than his to begin with. Being able to take on the male lead this time was because the original choice, Song Anxi, deliberately wanted to find a male star with weak presence, to avoid the male lead being too overpowering which would steal her spotlight.

Therefore for this drama Colorful Robe, there was a newcomer female lead, a weak male lead, but the supporting cast was very strong.

There were many internet water armies of Zhuo Ziran in the bullet screen comments, saying that the high viewership of this drama was single-handedly supported by the villainous supporting male role.

Bai Yin and Joe Yanshi were fellow sufferers, often suppressed by Zhuo Ziran on set. Who knew that even after filming wrapped, he was still overriding them.

Although Joe Yanshi didn\'t say anything when Zhuo Ziran stole his spotlight, Bai Yin couldn\'t stand watching anymore. Several times, she cleverly helped Joe Yanshi snatch the questions back.

Joe Yanshi looked at her gratefully, while Zhuo Ziran was indignant, harboring dissatisfaction.

After the Q&A with reporters ended, the banquet officially started.

Zhuo Ziran was a bit of a social bullshitter. He toasted every big shot investor one by one, then came back and sat next to Joe Yanshi, patting his shoulder mockingly: "Why are you like a wooden block, no wonder you haven\'t been on a variety show after debuting for so long."

Although Joe Yanshi felt bad, he couldn\'t say anything either.

Bai Yin heard this beside them and couldn\'t stand listening anymore.

Qiao Yan Shi was very considerate towards Bai Yin on set and didn\'t look down on her for being a newbie. He often went over the script with her, so Bai Yin was grateful and retorted coldly, "No matter how uncommunicative he is, he\'s still the male lead of The Crane Cloak."

Zhuo Zi Ran scoffed, "Everyone knows how he got this male lead role."

Bai Yin wanted to defend Qiao Yan Shi again, but he pulled at her sleeve to stop her from speaking.

After Zhuo Zi Ran left, Qiao Yan Shi said softly, "No need to offend him for my sake."

Bai Yin saw Zhuo Zi Ran going to fawn over the boss again and purposefully glance back at Qiao Yan Shi and Bai Yin while shaking hands and chatting happily with the bosses.

She was still angry in the end and asked Qiao Yan Shi, "Do you want to meet Chen Huaixiao?"

Qiao Yan Shi was shocked seeing the stubborn look in Bai Yin\'s eyes and quickly said, "No! Don\'t be impulsive!"

"What\'s there to be afraid of? Look at you, your face is all pale."

Qiao Yan Shi quickly explained, "You see, everyone here is greeting and conversing, but no one dares to get acquainted with this boss. I heard he has a bad temper and even worse alcohol tolerance, so he usually doesn\'t drink. Therefore, no one dares to bother him."

Indeed, even the socially savvy Zhuo Zi Ran didn\'t dare suck up to Chen Huaixiao.

Bai Yin picked up a wine glass and said to Qiao Yan Shi, "I\'m going to toast him. Whether you come along is up to you."

"Bai Yin, don\'t go!"

Qiao Yan Shi couldn\'t stop her. After much hesitation, he finally plucked up his courage, took a glass and chased after her.

This newcomer was still wet behind the ears and didn\'t know any better. If she offended Chen Huaixiao, he could at least try to shield her a bit...
