The both of them continued chatting awkwardly and Vera finally relaxed and let go of herself. It seemed as though this person did not know her identity at all.
After that, Vera continued taking pictures with confidence.
Vera did not know whether her photography skills would be qualified enough.
She also thought that she would want to tag along on all of Xiao Chennan’s activities in future. After that, she would use her photograph skills to take superb photographs of Xiao Chennan so that everyone else could only be in awe.
Xiao Chennan felt that this child was very innocent. After that, he clicked on her WeChat profile to check on the child’s circle of friends. At this time, he found out that all he could see on the child’s WeChat profile was some photography techniques and skills from painting courses. It proved that the child was a keen learner.
Moreover, Xiao Chennan did not notice that Xiao O’s gender was actually a female.
The morning passed very quickly for Xiao Chennan. Time seemed to fly by as he texted the child a little and read his movie script.
But for some people, the entire morning felt like years.
Qingyan has been desperately waiting for lunchtime and when Tan Xiu finally gave them a notice to come for lunch at twelve o’clock at noon, he quickly bounced off his chair. “Brother Chennan, let’s go…it is time for lunch.”
“I added Xiao O on WeChat just now,” Xiao Chennan replied as he put down his movie script. After that, Xiao Chennan picked up his cell phone before he got up from the recliner.
“Oh, is that so? What do you think of the kid?”
“A very cute and innocent child that seems very hardworking and serious.”
Qingyan could not help but frowned when he heard Xiao Chennan’s evaluation. Dear brother, why don’t you check out her posts? Why don’t you look at the gender on her WeChat profile? What are you doing?
What was even more uncomfortable was the fact that Xiao Chennan directly bypassed the suitcase as he walked towards the door!
He walked around it?
Qingyan felt that he was about to vomit blood. Therefore, he deliberately knocked the laptop bag to the ground at this time. As soon as Xiao Chennan heard the sound, he turned around only to see Qingyan frowning in pain. “Are you hurt?”
Look at the laptop bag, Brother Chennan!
Don’t you think that the laptop bag looks a little familiar?
“I am fine but this laptop is really very hard.” Qingyan deliberately picked up the laptop bag before he murmured, “Brother Chennan, don’t you think that this laptop bag is a little familiar? Don’t you think that you have seen it somewhere before?”
Xiao Chennan glanced at the laptop bag but there was no changes in the expression on his face at all. “Isn’t all the laptop bags the same?”
Qingyan: “!!!”
Can’t lead him. Can’t lead him at all!
Qingyan has no choice but to follow Xiao Chennan out of the executive suite before they arrived at the dining room on the first floor. At this moment, every one of the employees in the studio were there, including Tan Xiu.
Qingyan and Tan Xiu exchanged glances with one another, as though they were the greatest spies of the century. Qingyan has already failed in his mission and it was completely up to Tan Xiu’s skills now.
“Wow! Brother Chennan, you are really here! We did not believe it when Sister Xiuxiu told us that you were coming here too!”
“Brother Chennan, please enjoy your lunch!”
“Boss, why don’t we play some ball games together later in the afternoon?”
The employees of the studio were all extremely excited. After all, it was not common for them to have the opportunity to spend three whole days with the film emperor. It was no wonder why every one of them were so excited.
Tan Xiu took the opportunity to approach Qingyan as she asked in a low voice, “How did it went?”
“It did not go smoothly at all! Brother Chennan is like a wooden block who can’t seem to understand any of my hints at all!”
Tan Xiu snorted and she laughed before she said, “Leave it to me then.”
Everyone was very excited and they were all looking forward to lunch because Xiao Chennan would be here. When they were waiting for the food to be served, Tan Xiu took advantage of the opportunity to stand up before she introduced Xiao Chennan to all of the new employees.
“Boss does not come to the studio often. Therefore, we should make the effort to let Brother Chennan remember everyone. Since Brother Chennan already knows all of our old employees, I want to focus on introducing the newcomers to him today.”
Xiao Chennan saw Xiao O sitting amongst the newcomers and he was still bowing his head shyly even though the both of them were exchanging text messages earlier.
“Dami, Zhitong, Tiaotiao.” Tan Xiu introduced the new employees, one after the other and she intentionally emphasized the name of the young boy when it was his turn.
At this time, someone suddenly spoke up and asked, “Sister Xiuxiu, where is Sister O?”
Sister O?
When Tan Xiu heard the question, she secretly glanced at Xiao Chennan before she smiled and said, “She went up to the mountain to take pictures of the scenery and landscape. After all, all of you know that she is studying photography. How can she possibly miss out on the opportunity to take pictures at this beautiful place?”
“Sister O is really very hardworking and diligent! I am really embarrassed now!”
“I really admire her too!”
“Yes, Xiao O is indeed worthy of your admiration and worship but do you know what is even more incredible? Some of you have already worked with Brother Chennan for so many years but you do not know his liking or preferences at all! When I told Xiao O about Brother Chennan’s birthday, Xiao O bought a birthday gift that Brother Chennan really liked!”
So, Tan Xiu has given him enough hints, right?
As she was speaking, Tan Xiu kept observing Xiao Chennan’s reaction from the corner of her eye. At this time, she discovered that the man who was sitting on the main seat was actually experiencing some mood swings.
“Sister O is always wearing a mask. Has any of you ever seen how she looks like? I am really very curious about her appearance. Since the boss is here today, I can’t help but wonder if Sister O will finally take off her mask so that we can see how she looks like!”
Perhaps she felt that she was overdoing it, so Tan Xiu decided to step in and control the rhythm. “I don’t think that is possible. Xiao O is allergic to light and heat.”
Xiao Chennan’s heart sank again when he heard that Xiao O had allergies.
He was hoping that Xiao O would be Vera but now, he felt that it was completely impossible.
When will Sister O be here?
“Later in the afternoon but it will really depend on how long she wants to stay on the mountain to take photos…”
Xiao Chennan did not really enjoy the meal because he had so many unanswered questions in his heart. When he heard the employees talking about Xiao O, he could not help but have a deep expectation that Vera would suddenly appear. However, based on reason and rationality, he knew that it was completely impossible for Vera to be here. Despite that, he could not restrain his inner desires.
The group of people continued enjoying their lunch before they went to the arcade inside the homestay. It seemed as though this homestay really had all sorts of amenities that was very suitable for team building events.
It started raining very heavily in the afternoon.
Tan Xiu looked up at the sky and she could not help but wonder if Vera had a place to take shelter from the rain. What was even more frustrating was that they could not reach Vera on her cell phone because of the bad signal.
When the call was finally connected, it was answered by an old man. He said that Vera fell down while going down the mountain but it was not a serious injury. He also said that Vera was cleaning up her wound at his house now.
“Sister Xiuxiu, why don’t we tell Brother Chennan about what happened to Vera?” Qingyan quickly suggested.
“Well, it is getting dark…” The both of them quickly made up their minds as they headed straight to Xiao Chennan’s executive suite.
At this time, Xiao Chennan just came out from the bathroom after taking a shower and he was still wearing his bathrobe.
“Brother Chennan…” Qingyan knocked on his room door and he paused for a few seconds before he said, “Sister Vera is trapped on the mountain.”
“What did you just say?”
“I am saying that Xiao O is Sister Vera. She was taking pictures on the mountain earlier today and she fell down while making her way down. She is currently cleaning up her wound on a farmhouse on the mountain but we do not know the extent of her injuries…”
As soon as he heard the news, Xiao Chennan quickly closed the door behind him. He was already done putting on his clothes in less than a minute. “Which direction is it? Lead the way now!”
“Brother Chennan, I did not hide it from you on purpose. I only did it…because…”
“Don’t waste any more time! Let’s get Vera back here first,” Xiao Chennan shouted.
