Chapter 220: Provoking Him
Huo Chuan was sitting in the car on his way back to the company when his phone suddenly rang and a message came through.
He turned on his phone and saw that his face became terrifyingly gloomy.
“Huo Chuan, Yun Qing wants to treat me to a meal to apologize to me. So much for trying, don’t you think?”
The person who sent the message was an unfamiliar number.
Huo Chuan naturally knew that it was Sun Chen.
He did not expect Sun Chen to be so bold as to send him a direct text message to provoke him.
Huo Chuan had never been treated like this before. He gritted his teeth and turned off the phone screen, not wanting to get riled up by those words again.
He had no way of retaliating.
Sun Chen was right. If he had not spent all his effort to snatch this project that belonged to Sun Chen, Yun Qing would not have felt guilty toward Sun Chen.
For the first time, Huo Chuan was certain that he had shot himself in the foot.
Over the past few days, Yun Qing’s life had been exceptionally peaceful. Huo Chuan no longer showed up to bother her. Finally, she did not have to keep thinking about this man who had annoyed her for a long time.
One day, Liu Tao suddenly called, “Director Yun, there’s an award ceremony tomorrow night. We have received news that Meng Hong is very likely to win the award. Why don’t you be a guest presenter?”
Upon hearing Liu Tao’s words, Yun Qing understood more than half of it.
“What? Do you want me to tie up Meng Hong?” Yun Qing asked straightforwardly.
Liu Tao chuckled. He replied, “Yes, Meng Hong has a new movie coming out soon. We want to hype it up for him. You know, he’s usually well-behaved. Other than being fan-shipped with you, he doesn’t have any other partners.
“Why don’t you think about it, President Yun? After all, the Yun Corporation has also invested in his new movie. The higher the box office, the more money the Yun Corporation will make.”
Liu Tao started to talk about the benefits for President Yun. No matter what, Yun Qing was the President of the Yun Corporation. Liu Tao knew what she liked.
These words found their mark in Yun Qing’s heart. She naturally wanted what’s best for the company. In addition, Meng Hong was obedient and hardworking. He was a good seedling, so Yun Qing was naturally willing to help him.
“Alright, you make the arrangements. I’ll present the award to him tomorrow.”
The film awards this time were highly regarded in the industry. Many celebrities dressed up meticulously, trying to compete with each other in front of the cameras. As a guest presenter and not a member of the entertainment industry, Yun Qing was naturally not in the mood to join their competition. She only put on some light makeup and wore a modest gown as she headed straight to the award ceremony venue.
However, even though she was dressed simply, Yun Qing still looked exceptionally exquisite. Coupled with her natural temperament, the moment Yun Qing appeared, she became the focus of the entire venue.
On the red carpet, many cameras were aimed at her. The reporters swarmed forward and surrounded Yun Qing, throwing questions at her one after another.
Yun Qing did not have the intention to deal with the media. She only smiled and exchanged a few pleasantries before she arrived at the venue of the award ceremony.
She was seated in the middle. Just as she took her seat, she heard a wave of discussion coming from behind.
“Who is that woman? Why is she sitting in the C seat casually?”
“I don’t know! She’s dressed so shabbily! Where did she find the guts to sit in such a high-profile position?”
Yun Qing naturally knew that they were talking about her.
Her back was facing them, and she was dressed plainly. It was normal that the two female celebrities would not recognize her.
Yun Qing stood up and turned around to face the two gossiping women. She looked at them coldly and said, “Do you know who I am now?”
When the two female celebrities saw that the person they were talking about was Yun Qing, they were so scared that their faces turned pale.
“President, President Yun…”
“We were blind just now. Please forgive us, President Yun.”
They were anxious to explain themselves to Yun Qing, but Yun Qing had already turned around and sat down. It was obvious that she did not want to listen to their nonsense anymore.
The two female celebrities wanted to go forward and apologize to Yun Qing, but just as they stood up, they saw a man with a cold expression glaring at them. They were so scared that they did not dare to move a step.
It was Huo Chuan.
He had witnessed the entire farce just now. If it were not for the fact that he did not want to interfere in the entertainment industry, Huo Chuan would have gotten someone to throw these two women out.
