Chapter 285: Chapter 289: Behind the Scenes (2)

Fortunately, Jian Anning was not really a poor, inexperienced girl. Her stepfather, Cheng Juye, although shrewd, was someone with absolute presence in the business world. And Yin Maohui, although usually all smiles, could be terrifying when he got angry.

Therefore, when facing Situ Xuan, she also maintained a courteous demeanor—even though she knew that Situ Xuan was no ordinary person.

"You’re a senior executive at Huasi Film and Television?" she asked, somewhat curious, after all, Yu Zexiao’s future records would require cooperation with Huasi Film and Television.

"You could say that," Situ Xuan nodded, a trace of surprise in his heart.

He knew that most people, in his presence, were either shaking in fear or extremely respectful. Since the age of eighteen, he had been making his way in the world. For a decade, he roamed through the realms of both the lawful and the lawless, with ruthless tactics and a thunderous approach, toppling all of his enemies!

Even when he was not consciously exerting his presence, ordinary people would not dare to utter an extra word or take an extra look in his presence.

Yet this little assistant had a clear gaze and composed expression, as if—the relationship between them was not that of a superior and subordinate, but equals, just like friends!

Interesting, truly interesting. It was no wonder that a woman who caught Yu Zexiao’s eye was always a bit different.

Recently, he even had Ya Jiayi investigate Jian Anning’s background. From Yin Maohui, he found out that she was of Huaxia descent from Vancouver, with the last name Jian and the given name Anning, a graduate of the University of Toronto.

This he did not doubt—because, even he did not know, the Cheng Family’s young mistress had actually run away from her marriage!

Nor did he know that the Cheng Family dared to pass off a stepdaughter as their own daughter to discuss a marriage agreement with him!

And Jian Anning just looked at him once before saying no more. Although there was future cooperation between Huasi Film and Television and Starlight Entertainment, it wasn’t of direct relevance to her. She simply needed to follow Yu Zexiao and make sure he didn’t cause any major trouble.

Soon, the president of Huasi Film and Television finished speaking outside, and another round of applause followed. Jian Anning couldn’t help but lift the curtain and look out. Tradition dictated that champagne would be poured onto the champagne tower and then distributed, after which the host would invite a lady to dance the first dance. After this stage, it would be a free-form social event.

It was only then that she would be able to move from the backstage to the front.

Situ Xuan saw her constantly peering out, and although he knew she was looking for Yu Zexiao, he still deliberately asked, "Miss, are you an artist with Starlight Entertainment?"

Jian Anning turned back: "No, I’m an assistant."

"Oh?" Situ Xuan’s face showed a hint of interest: "May I know who you are assisting?"

"ZERO-YU, I’m Yu Zexiao’s assistant," Jian Anning replied calmly.

"Oh? So, you’re ZERO’s assistant!" Situ Xuan nodded deliberately, "He was very famous in America three years ago. Many of my friends are his fans."

That wasn’t false. Yu Zexiao in America three years ago was like a whirlwind! Handsome and debonair, from a distinguished family, his voice could pierce through people’s hearts! Some even joked that Yu Zexiao should become a diplomat; perhaps the friendship between Huaxia Country and the United States would become even stronger because of him!
