119. To Be My Second Son

Chen Shan stood far away and exchanged toasts with his father, not noticing anything happening in the corner.

Qi Le An quickly made a decision and smiled politely, “Okay.”

Even though he quarreled with Glory Entertainment, it was so powerful in the entertainment industry, so as an actor, he couldn’t afford to offend it. The secretary gave a meaningful smile and said, “Mr. Qi, please follow me.”

Qi Le An sneaked a peek at Chen Shan. Seeing that Chen Shan had yet to look over, he took a deep breath and followed the secretary out.

CEO Jiang always tended to stay away from others when he looked for him… Why?

Qi Le An was uneasy, and the secretary led him to the garden of the Chen family, gesturing ahead, “Mr. Qi, General Manager Jiang is waiting for you inside.”

Qi Le An nodded and walked into the garden.

Mr. Jiang stood in the garden as expected. There were a few plum trees in the courtyard, which happened to send forth many buds. When Qi Le An walked in, CEO Jiang looked at the plum and said, “The flowers are in bloom.”

Qi Le An felt speechless and thought to himself that Manager Jiang was pretending to be something, but he said, “It smells good.”

The potbellied man retracted his gaze and looked at Qi Le An, and the man’s gaze made Qi Le An uncomfortable. The man said, “I know you. You’re Qi Le An, right?”

Had it been in his previous life, Qi Le An might be so excited that he could not sleep for the whole night when he was going to have such a meeting with Glory’s CEO. But now he was only vigilant, and he answered, “Yes, Mr. Jiang.”

A glimmer of light flashed across CEO Jiang’s small eyes, and he smiled, “My people were useless. They let your talents be obscured. I’ve seen your works. Both Better Days and “The Disguiser” are awesome! ”

Not knowing the intention of General Manager Jiang, Qi Le An hurriedly said, “Thanks. That’s all attributed to the good training provided by the company.” Well, I respected Glory, so now you couldn’t embarrass me, right?

Hearing this, General Manager Jiang laughed and said meaningfully, “It’s a loss to the company without a talent like you!”

Qi Le An broke out in cold sweat.

This was a banquet for the Chen family, which was one of the shareholders of Glory. General Manager Jiang had no reason to make things difficult for him. But what did he mean by saying this now?

Mr. Jiang acted as if he hadn’t seen Qi Le An’s expression and said, “Recently, Glory has been preparing for producing a new movie. I wonder if you are interested?”

Hearing this, Qi Le An was alerted. This was definitely a trap! Did Glory have no money or other actor? Why did he find him?

“Glory’s new movie must be of high quality!” Qi Le An said after thinking, “Of course I’m interested! But… this year my schedule is full.”

Qi Le An said apologetically. Mr. Jiang raised an eyebrow and asked, “Oh? Full? So what movie you will take part in? Tell me.”

It was absolutely unwise to lie in front of Mr. Jiang, who was so overbearing, so Qi Le An had to answer, “A movie directed by Guan Kai.”

He had been in frequent contact with Guan Kai recently, so his words would be credible if he mentioned about Guan Kai.

While Mr. Jiang laughed, “Guan Kai? What has he been preparing recently? Someone Likes Blue? Is it?”

Qi Le An was shocked and he felt cold! He had never imagined that General Manager Jiang would even know its name.

How much did he know exactly? Did he know that he had rejected Director Guan?

Mr. Jiang’s eyes were filled with curiosity. He smiled meaningfully and said, “This is not a good movie. An, Glory’s movies are definitely profitable. You should think twice!”

Qi Le An couldn’t hear anything out from this, but he directly told him that he absolutely couldn’t take part in Glory’s new movie, so he raised his head and smiled apologetically, “Mr. Jiang, I’m really sorry. I’ve promised Director Guan.”

Mr. Jiang’s eyes suddenly became dangerous.

Qi Le An braced himself and looked guilty.

General Manager Jiang’s expression changed a little, then he teased, “Oh? Then I’m looking forward to your performance in that movie… If I can’t see you in ‘Blue’, I’ll be disappointed.”

Qi Le An knew that he had no other choice. But why did Mr. Jiang do this? Was it just because he had talked something bad about Glory? But it had been a year!

At this moment, Qi Le An saw Chen Shan, who was viewed as the savior, walking quickly from afar. Qi Le An sighed in relief.

Chen Shan walked into the garden and protected Qi Le An, smiling, “Uncle Jiang! I was thinking about why I couldn’t find you. There you are!”

General Manager Jiang treated Chen Shan kindly and smiled, “It’s too stuffy in the house, so I come out and chat with An. An wants to join Guan Kai’s new movie, and I have to wait for my turn to invite him to take part in my movie! Shan, you’re An’s agent, so can you help me with that?

Qi Le An was worried that Chen Shan would spill the beans. However, Chen Shan shook his head helplessly, “I’m also angry. But An is determined to join Guan Kai’s movie, so there was nothing I could do… We just signed the contract a few days ago. If only Uncle Jiang informed me earlier!”

A cold light flashed across General Manager Jiang’s eyes as he laughed at Chen Shan, “Then there’s no other choice. You must find me next time.”

Chen Shan also smiled, “Of course. By the way, I just saw a few uncles looking for you. Shall we get into the house?”

General Manager Jiang nodded and walked into the house with Chen Shan. Qi Le An followed behind and Chen Shan tipped him a wink.

Perhaps having been working together with Chen Shan for a long time, Qi Le An really understood what he meant. After entering the banquet hall, they went to the second floor, the baby’s room.

The fatty girl had already fallen asleep, and Mother Chen was greeting guests downstairs. There was only a nanny in the baby’s room.

Qi Le An felt awkward and stood there for two minutes. He was about to go outside. At that time Chen Shan pushed the door open and entered.

Chen Shan glanced at his sister, then pulled Qi Le An out of the baby’s room and entered the study.

“What did Jiang Shan say to you?” As soon as he entered the study, Chen Shan couldn’t wait to ask.

Qi Le An explained briefly and looked at him, baffling, “Why is he suddenly so interested in me?”

Chen Shan frowned and looked serious. He stared at Qi Le An for a long time. Then he suddenly said, “An, I’m sorry.”

Qi Le An was stunned and asked, “What? What happened, Brother Chen? No need to apologize.”

Chen Shan sighed and said to Qi Le An, “Jiang Shan, he… has started to recycle Glory’s shares in the past half-year, but for some reason, he didn’t make an agreement with my father.”

Qi Le An seemed to understand something.

In the war between two leaders, how could the pettier survive?

“I’m sorry. I… I didn’t know he would come today. If I knew it, I’ll definitely let him stay away from you.” Chen Shan’s words were full of guilt. He rubbed his head with both hands and his hairstyle was disrupted. Chen Shan said, “I will solve this matter. An, don’t worry.”

Qi Le An had never seen Chen Shan so spiritless. He quickly said, “Brother Chen, you don’t have to be like this!”

Chen Shan looked up at Qi Le An with complex emotions in his eyes.

Qi Le An said with a complicated expression, “Brother Chen if it wasn’t for you, I wouldn’t be who I am today. It’s not a big deal.”

Qi Le An would never forget that the first person who had brought him out of the intern department was Chen Shan, and the one who had helped him to ask Mr. Li for money was also Chen Shan. Chen Shan had paid no less effort than anyone else.

Chen Shan stood by his side after his quarrel with Glory. After entering the new company, Chen Shan also tried his best to protect him.

Even after knowing about his relationship with Wei Chang Feng, Chen Shan was disappointed. But Qi Le An pretended to be pitiful, and then he also had no other choice but to help him hide it from others.

Chen Shan sighed, but he still frowned.

Qi Le An knew that this matter would not be easy to solve. If Jiang Shan really wanted to find fault with him, he wouldn’t be able to work in the entertainment industry. Now it seemed that Jiang Shan only used him to test, and he was not the one who would fight against the enemies.

He changed into a relaxed tone and said to Chen Shan, “Besides, ‘Blue’ is very good. Director Guan has been inviting me for so many days, so we need to give him a chance, right?”

Chen Shan answered nothing.

He had no expression on his face. The door to the study was knocked. Chen Shan rubbed his hair and said, “Come in.”

Chen Shan’s mother came in and frowned at her son’s reaction. “What are you doing here? Your father is looking for you, hurry up.”

Chen Shan nodded reluctantly. And his mother turned to Qi Le An and smiled, “An. Let’s go to see the little sister.”

Qi Le An wanted to relax Chen Shan and make the atmosphere more softened, “When I saw the fatty girl just now, she was still sleeping!”

Chen Shan’s mother asked, “Why do you also call her fatty girl? How sad your sister will be when she grows up.”

Chen Shan had always called the baby fatty girl. And he even told Qi Le An that it was her nickname. Qi Le An swallowed them whole, and now he realized, “Isn’t she called a fatty girl? Brother Chen told me it’s her nickname.”

Chen Shan’s mother couldn’t help but punch Chen Shan and said, “You’re always being naughty all day at home. She’s your sister, not fatty girl, okay?!”

Chen Shan was punched by his mother, so he had to say, “Yes, not fatty, but a chubby girl.”

Mother Chen rolled her eyes at Chen Shan angrily, “You’re annoying. Hurry up and go find your dad.”

Qi Le An simmered with laughter.

Chen Shan went downstairs to see off the guests while Qi Le An and Mother Chen entered the baby’s room. The little sister was still asleep. Her face was round and her small feet and hands were chubby and cute.

Chen Shan’s mother looked at her daughter affectionately, then she glanced at Qi Le An. She couldn’t help but say, “Chen Shan is still so childish. If only you are her elder brother!”

The sister in her sleep seemed to have understood it and her small mouth moved. The mother simmered with laughter and whispered to the baby girl, “Oh, our baby also thinks so, right? You want An to be your brother?”

Qi Le An found the baby super sweet and cute, so he stared at her. Chen Shan’s mother turned her head and smiled. “How about recognizing An as your brother? What do you think?”

Although she said this to the baby, it was obvious that she said that to Qi Le An, who was stunned immediately.

If she was his sister, that would be…

“An, I like you. You and Chen Shan are also good brothers. Why don’t you become my second son?”
