Chapter 62: Chapter 62: Softhearted with a Perfect Score

Certainly kind-hearted, she is naive to the world, oblivious to human suffering, her eyes shining brightly, her whole demeanor radiating with cherished purity.

She descended the stairs amid everyone’s attention, standing with easy grace, affectionately taking Bian’s father’s arm, her elongated tone sweet and sticky: "Dad, who is this?"

Bian’s father is famously doting on his daughter, and he quickly introduced everyone present to Bian Yue.

However, Bian Yue listened perfunctorily, nodding lightly to the crowd before turning to leave, absent-minded.

Shen Jinci remembered it clearly; even his own father just smiled in praise of the young girl’s unique personality, in the face of Bian Yue’s self-absorbed behavior.

At 16, Bian Yue didn’t need to please anyone; she was the little princess of the Bian Family, truly pampered and privileged.

And now, the little princess is sitting beside him, within an arm’s reach, yet seemingly separated by thousands of miles.

Shen Jinci’s throat was hoarse as he suddenly called out her name: "Bian Yue..."

Bian Yue turned her face curiously when she heard his voice, "What’s wrong?"

Shen Jinci’s voice was rough and urgent, his breathing slightly erratic, his noble face replaced by tenderness from its usual aloofness above all.

He didn’t realize that his detachment made him seem most ethereal; this kind of cautiousness didn’t suit him.

He said, "Nothing much, just take good care of yourself while I’m abroad."

Bian Yue had actually softened her heart long ago, almost wanting to ask if he could not leave?

After all, Shen Jinci was too nice to her, even from the perspective of just being co-workers, many of the niceties were beyond what was expected.

Bian Yue could not fault him.

"I know." Bian Yue paused, then looked seriously at Shen Jinci, saying, "You too, take good care of yourself while overseas."

Shen Jinci said he would.

Outside, it began to rain again; the rainy season in Xiangjiang, always coming abruptly, so relentless and unending.

Bian Yue rolled up the car window and sighed lightly, "I don’t know when this rain will stop."

"It will be some time yet." Shen Jinci said, "If you don’t like it here, you can go somewhere else. Bian Yue, you don’t have to stay in Xiangjiang."

He actually seriously pondered, and Bian Yue quickly explained.

"I definitely want to stay here, this is my home. Even though it often rains, I like it here."

She responded earnestly, afraid of being misunderstood.

How could she not like it?

Every inch of this land bears the marks of her life.

Bian Yue doesn’t dislike the rainy season; she just looks forward more to the clear skies after the rain.

She didn’t know that at night, in the dampness of the rainy season, beyond the French windows blocking the sound of rain, Shen Jinci sat by her bed, watching her sleep with a sweet expression in the dim light.

He silently gazed at her for a long time, his usual indifference and sternness melting away, leaving only straightforward tenderness.

Shen Jinci only felt that the days were too unreal, as if he needed to perceive them so earnestly just to ensure that all of this wasn’t just his illusion...

The next morning, before boarding his flight, Shen Jinci sent Bian Yue a text, simple reminders, and his signature with repeated apologies, yet he didn’t have the courage to ask if Bian Yue would forgive his presumptions.

Bian Yue woke up nearly at noon, saw the text from a few hours earlier, and felt very tender-hearted. She was pondering how to reply when Wen Jiao’s call came through.

Wen Jiao said, "Bian Yue, are you awake yet? I’ve made an appointment with two collaborators to discuss a new project. Do you want to join us?"

"The lead actress for ’Shengshi Yan’ hasn’t been decided yet. Who are these collaborators?" Bian Yue rubbed her temples, still feeling a bit sleepy.

"I recently watched a female actress who I quite like. She happens to be signed with one of these collaborators. If possible, we might as well discuss ’Shengshi Yan’ and the new project with them," said Wen Jiao. "Killing two birds with one stone! Neither will be delayed!"

"How did such a good deal fall into our laps?"

"Why think so much?" Wen Jiao said urgently. "We are the producers; we won’t be at a loss. Just come over and see for yourself. They took the initiative to approach us, and moreover, they are a leading company in the film industry!"

Wen Jiao was keeping some secrets but sounded incredibly enthusiastic, which Bian Yue couldn’t dampen. She could only say, "First, send me the information on the actress you have your eye on, as well as the company profile of the collaborator. I’ll be there on time."

"Okay, I’ll wait for you," Wen Jiao’s voice was light and cheerful. "Bian Yue, once you see it, you’ll definitely be satisfied!"

Indeed satisfied.

Yao Yimin, who had just been nominated for Best Actress, had both the acting chops and the looks, a high fan engagement, and was viewed favorably in the industry.

After reviewing, Bian Yue frowned and sent a message to Wen Jiao.

"She usually does art films, how would she stoop to shooting a costume drama for you?"

Wen Jiao’s chat box showed she was typing, and soon a message popped up. Wen Jiao said: "Money makes the world go round. We have money! Besides, it’s her boss who came to us, we didn’t go begging."

This meal was indeed necessary.

In Xiangjiang Hotel’s top-floor private room, Bian Yue had just walked in when she saw two middle-aged men stand up to greet her.

Bian Yue was startled, and Wen Jiao, already seated, was snickering on the side.

"President Bian! I’ve long admired your reputation, please have a seat!"

Bian Yue nodded and, according to the information she had just learned, politely responded, "President Wang, President Huang."

"You flatter us too much!" the man called President Wang said. Dressed in a formal suit and lean in figure, he had a lively manner as he smiled at Bian Yue, saying, "President Bian, at such a young age, has already become a well-known producer in the industry, making us feel ashamed of our own achievements!"

President Wang’s real name was Wang Dan’an, the founder of the established film company Red Mountain.

Standing beside him, President Huang, Huang Zhangyue, was Wang Dan’an’s close friend; his company, Huanyu Film and Television, was a rising star, and over the years, it had been backed by the powerhouse of Red Mountain Film and Television, with a clear relationship in terms of power and status.

As for Yao Yimin, the Best Actress that Wen Jiao had mentioned to Bian Yue, she was an artist under Wang Dan’an’s agency and the top actress of Red Mountain Film and Television.

"President Wang is too kind. We still have plenty of time, we can sit down and talk slowly," Bian Yue said as she took her seat next to Wen Jiao.

Wang Dan’an’s eyes flickered with contemplation as he smiled warmly at Bian Yue, "Did it rain on your way here today, President Bian?"

"It did rain. It’s always raining this season, which really makes it inconvenient to travel," Bian Yue returned the smile. "Thank you, President Wang, for taking the trouble to come discuss the collaboration with me, despite the inconvenient weather following the press conference."

The press conference was yesterday’s news, and although Bian Yue had come out on top, it was not an event to be proud of.

The older generation of businessmen care about face, and with Bian Yue’s negative news having just died down, it was not the best time for a collaboration.

Moreover, given that Red Mountain and Huanyu together nearly monopolize the film industry, in the face of such magnitude, Bian Yue’s Honey, although trendy with some fame, was far from reaching the level of equal partnership.

Not to mention that it was Wang Dan’an who took the initiative to approach her.

Bian Yue had guessed why Wang Dan’an had come; she understood that a businessman doesn’t get up early if there’s nothing to gain.

But Wen Jiao was different. Born into a well-to-do family with a smooth life, she didn’t see things in such a roundabout way.
