“Swoosh—”

At the end of the corner, Qiao Yan, who was holding some props, accidentally bumped into Fu Ran.

“Sorry!”

“Sorry!”

The two people apologised at the same time, causing their movements to stop for a moment. Then, the two people bent down to pick up the things in unison, resulting in another pause in their actions again.

When the things were picked up, both of them said in unison again, “Sorry.”

Fu Ran, “….”

Qiao Yan, “….”

……

Qiao Yan was the first to speak in the awkward atmosphere, “President Fu, actually I still owe you my thanks. I really appreciate your previous help.”

Fu Ran first frowned as he thought that Qiao Yan was looking for a reason to climb the social ladders. Recently, some people could say anything just to gain connections… But when he fixed his eyes and found that Qiao Yan looked familiar, he remembered after a brief recollection.

“A month ago at Jingtai Hotel?”

Qiao Yan’s expression did not change, but her eyes had a tinge of happiness from being pleasantly surprised. She said, “Yes, I’m very grateful for your help at that time.”

In the entertainment industry, Qiao Yan’s appearance could only be regarded as mediocre. The entertainment industry was filled with handsome men and beautiful women. Qiao Yan would not stand out if she was placed with them. However, she was considered a beauty compared to ordinary people. Furthermore, her temperament and decorum were also superb from learning ballet since she was a child. As long as she was not standing next to exceptional beauties like Yun Shu, she would be the brightest star in the crowd.

Therefore, she was “accidentally” left behind by the head of her company and was naturally pestered by the wealthy boss that wanted to invest in their company.

Qiao Yan calmly looked for an opportunity to escape, but the rich boss seemed to have been reminded. He barely gave Qiao Yan any opportunity. How could Qiao Yan not understand? Someone plotted against her.

Just when she felt more and more panicky, Fu Ran appeared in front of her like a god descending from heaven. In a few words, he drove the rich boss out of the hotel, Jingtai, owned by the Fu family.

Not only was the wealthy boss driven away, but the person in charge of the hotel was also driven away because of receiving bribes. Fu Ran also made a statement, probably no one in this line would take in this person in the future.

Fu Ran also did not forget to appease Qiao Yan, the victim, and sufficient compensation was given.

Of course, in Qiao Yan’s eyes, these were completely different from the man in front of her.

Since then, there was a silhouette in her heart. After returning home, she frantically gathered information about Fu Ran and understood how big the gap between Fu Ran and herself really was.  However, Qiao Yan was not a person who would give up easily. Instead, it evoked a never-seen-before potential and effort.

Qiao Yan thought. She is not worthy of him now. But what if she climbs to the top of the entertainment industry? Would that make him notice me?

In fact, that was also the storyline of the original novel where the two met. It was also the most important scene because without Fu Ran, this white moonlight, ^[1] Qiao Yan would not desperately pursue her career, let alone attract the second, third, fourth male lead… Fu Ran’s appearance could be said to be the turning point in Qiao Yan’s life journey.

But fate was sometimes cruel. Qiao Yan desperately tried to catch up, yet Fu Ran would not wait for her. Instead, he would advance at a speed which she could not catch up, and then—

He stopped next to Yun Shu.

Qiao Yan sighed in her heart. She was not going to give up. The light in her eyes grew even more radiant than before— Fu Ran’s fondness for Yun Shu goes to show his sexuality. Moreover, they are just dating and not married. Even if they get married, they could even get divorced!

She still has a chance!
