Chapter 144: Chapter 144 Call the Master

On the other side, Qingdu Airport, in Sheng Yan’s car.

Zhang Ming, finally no longer pinned under Sheng Yan’s icy gaze, hurriedly said, "Drive faster to lose those fans and paparazzi behind us, can’t you see the security guards are struggling?"

Sheng Yan calmly put down his phone, then started the engine, and said indifferently, "My bodyguards are not as useless as you think."

Zhang Ming urged, "I get it, your bodyguards are the best in the world, the most powerful and majestic, just drive off now, I get flustered just looking back at that crowd."

Once Sheng Yan drove away and lost the crowd behind them, Zhang Ming’s hanging heart finally relaxed, and he curiously asked:

"Who were you talking to just now, and you even lied by saying you didn’t need to drive? It sounded like that celebrity was tracked by the paparazzi all the way home, was it a man or a woman, a friend of yours?"

Sheng Yan didn’t look at him but calmly counter-asked, "Do you have a lot of free time?"

Zhang Ming clamped his mouth shut, okay, he would be quiet then!

But his curiosity could not be contained.

Was the celebrity Sheng Yan spoke with a male or female, and they needed to contact after going home? Who could be this deity with such a good relationship with the viper boss Sheng Yan?

Zhang Ming turned his head to look outside the window, his brow slightly furrowed, pondering that he needed to report this matter to Aunt Sheng.

Sheng Yan had indeed been very abnormal lately.

After dropping Zhang Ming off at his home, Sheng Yan drove back to his own home.

Arriving home, he just made it in time for dinner.

Mrs. Sheng was bustling around getting him to eat, Mr. Sheng was also there, the family of three rarely all together except during New Year and Mid-Autumn Festival when they would gather for a meal.

During dinner, was also the time for family interaction. The Sheng Family did not uphold the custom of silence during meals, and there was no estrangement between Mr. Sheng and Sheng Yan despite their infrequent meetings.

So during the meal, Mr. Sheng said, "I’ll be retiring in two years. If you want to take over the military sector, joining the Military Department now is not too late."

Sheng Yan said indifferently, "That isn’t my aspiration."

In previous years, father and son would argue about this matter, but Mr. Sheng had mellowed a lot over the years and had become more tolerant of the young people’s ideas.

He pondered for a moment and said in a deep voice, "It’s just as well you don’t join, otherwise if you suddenly wanted to, I’d still have to reteach you the technology, not knowing if your intelligence has been diminished by the lure of fame."

Mrs. Sheng frowned when she heard this and hurriedly said, "Alright, alright, we rarely get together as a family, why waste our precious time on quarrels?"

She glared at Mr. Sheng, "Don’t impose your institute’s management style on Yanyan, he’s not your subordinate, what kind of tone are you using!"

Mr. Sheng’s face slightly stiffened, he stopped talking, he was the head of the family officially, but except for significant issues, Mrs. Sheng always made the decisions at home.

Mrs. Sheng turned her head to Sheng Yan, served him a helping of vegetables, "Eat more, I know you need to maintain your physique with more beef, but you can’t just eat beef, you need vegetables too!"

Sheng Yan gave a grunt and silently began eating the vegetables, Mrs. Sheng then turned back to Mr. Sheng, saying, "Ah Fang and Jinxia will come over after the second day of the New Year, you just came back and probably don’t know that Jinxia has lost weight, have you?"

Mr. Sheng was startled, "Lost weight?"

Mrs. Sheng nodded busily, a smile forming on her face, "Yes, she’s become a pretty beautiful woman, women change so much when they grow up, she looks a bit like Zhixiang."

Mr. Sheng heard this and a trace of nostalgia crossed his face. He spoke in a low voice, "These years have been hard on them. I’m not at home and can’t take care of the two of them. Remember to help take care of them; after all, it’s my fault they’re in this situation."

The atmosphere suddenly turned somewhat somber, and everyone stopped talking.

After finishing the meal, Sheng Yan was the first to return to his room to rest.

He looked down at his phone, thought for a moment, and made a phone call.

He Jinxia had just finished eating as well when Mrs. He took the dishes to the kitchen. She had intended to help, but her mother had refused her help, leaving her sitting idly in the living room.

Suddenly, her phone rang. She looked down, her eyes curving slightly, and answered immediately.

"Hello?"

Listening to the girl’s soft, sweet voice on the other end of the phone, Sheng Yan paused, his expression changing as he also slowed his tone and spoke softly, "This is Sheng Yan."

He Jinxia found this introduction amusing. Childishly, she responded, "Hello, I am He Jinxia."

Sheng Yan paused, detecting the teasing in the girl’s tone.

A slight smile appeared on his lips, but he didn’t tease her further and asked directly, "The paparazzi have tracked you to your home, and your home address has been exposed?"

He Jinxia hummed in response, a hint of helplessness crossing her face. It was a melancholic topic for her.

"So, does the superstar Sheng have any tricks to support me?" she asked.

Sheng Yan raised his eyebrows and said deliberately, "Call me ’master’."

He Jinxia was speechless: "..."

Sheng Yan: "If you don’t call me ’master,’ I won’t tell you."

He Jinxia: "..."

This playful behavior was really against the refined and distant image the public had of Sheng Yan. What happened to the high and mighty?

After waiting a while, when Sheng Yan heard no reply from the phone, just as he was about to say something, the woman’s voice came through, soft and sweet, "Master."

Since the words were already spoken, He Jinxia felt no embarrassment. She cheerfully said, "Master, give me some tips then!"

Sheng Yan’s lips curled into a light smile, and he spoke calmly, "Don’t worry, over the New Year, the security around your villa will be intensified. You and Aunt Rui can come by taxi; the gatekeeper will let you in. The paparazzi won’t be allowed in."

He Jinxia frowned slightly and said hesitantly, "Is it that simple?"

Sheng Yan countered, "Otherwise?"

"Being a celebrity means your life is inevitably in the public eye. Although you’re not completely without privacy, it’s almost the same. At New Year, you can use other methods to avoid the paparazzi, but what about later?

The same methods can only be use on the paparazzi once, even the best tricks have a day when they will be exhausted. Rather than being on guard day and night, it’s better to be open about it, to block is worse than to sieve, and paparazzi tracking is inevitable."

He shifted the conversation slightly, saying, "But you’re not just a celebrity, you are also a person. They can’t possibly be omnipotent to the extent of following you even to the restroom. There are some places that paparazzi can’t get into, so they won’t follow. This is common knowledge in the entertainment circle."

He Jinxia’s gaze sharpened; her heart’s questions had just arisen when Sheng Yan, as if telepathically, provided the answer, pointedly saying, "It’s normal you don’t know since you weren’t famous before."

He Jinxia: "..." His straightforwardness was somewhat heart-stabbing.
