But because of Gu Zekai’s issue, Ai Wen wanted to do her a favor, so she gave Bright a 40% profit share even though 30% or 40% would have sufficed.
“Lemon and our company are partners, no need to get too nervous next time.”
Rong Yan was calm and composed, not the least bit flustered. Zhu Zhu’s anxious mood gradually settled as well. Her round face flushed red, and she scratched her head sheepishly. “Estelle said the same thing to me, told me not to get so nervous, but when I think about how this is our first project and how hard everyone worked to land it, I just can’t control myself.”
“Rong Yan, don’t worry. Next time, I’ll definitely remember and make sure not to embarrass the company!”
So what if Mr. Wang came? They were partner companies, not subordinates. Why did she always have to act so jittery like it was some kind of leadership inspection? Hmph, definitely not going to let it happen again next time!
Rong Yan couldn’t help but let the corners of her mouth curl upwards, amused at Zhu Zhu’s determined posturing and little fist-pumping gesture. She patted Zhu Zhu on the shoulder. “Where’s Mr. Wang?”
Zhu Zhu pointed to the busiest shooting spot surrounded by people. “Over there. He’s probably looking for the director, just like you said.”
“I’ll go take a look.”
…
At the heart of the crowd, under a camphor tree shrouded in lush greenery, sunlight dappled through the leaves, landing on the blue-and-white school uniform of a boy with a bike. One hand propped up the bike while the other rested on the tree trunk, blocking the girl passing by the camphor tree firmly in front of his chest.
A gentle breeze brushed through the boy’s stylish fringe, revealing a smooth forehead. His defiant eyes sparkled brilliantly as he slightly lifted his chin. His voice, still rough with adolescence, sounded both awkward and charming. “You’re Jian Yao, the top student in Class A3?”
The girl being questioned had short, ear-length hair, giving her an impossibly well-behaved look. At that moment, she was clutching her schoolbag, her pale cheeks flushed bright red. Staring fiercely, or at least trying to, at the boy blocking her path, her round eyes tried and failed to look intimidating. “I don’t know you. Move!”
“Tsk!” The boy chuckled, his already strikingly handsome features becoming even more dazzling. “But I know you. Jian Yao, the transfer student from Class A3, top of North City High School, brought into our school for your stellar grades. Jiangcheng’s number one, the pride and joy of every teacher’s heart.”
Instinctively, Jian Yao glanced at him, her bewildered eyes betraying her confusion.
The boy’s mischievous grin remained on his face, but suddenly his gaze narrowed, his smile turning dangerous. “I heard you told the teacher I was harassing you?”
“??”
“Don’t play dumb. I got called into the teacher’s office for a long lecture because of you. They explicitly said I was harassing you, this model student.”
Though Jian Yao didn’t understand what was going on, she pursed her lips and denied it. “I never said that.”
“Heh.” The boy clearly didn’t believe a word she said. He suddenly leaned closer to her. “If you didn’t say it, then what? Was it ‘Hai Di Lao’ who went crazy?”
‘Hai Di Lao’ was the nickname Jiangcheng No.1 Middle School students secretly gave their dean of students.
There was a reason for it—he’d started balding quite early in life.
And so, “Mediterranean” eventually morphed into the teasing nickname “Hai Di Lao.”
Having just transferred schools, Jian Yao wasn’t yet familiar with these nicknames that circulated among the students. When she heard him mention “Hai Di Lao,” her expression became even more puzzled.
