Wen Zhiyan watched them get more and more animated and exchanged a look with Wen Yan'an before opening the door.
"Miaomiao, Zeng Nian, let's continue our chat in the room."
Zeng Nian only then realized she had gotten too carried away and hadn't noticed the presence of the boss. She had even pushed him.
What to do? She didn't know if her push might have injured the boss's leg again. If that were the case, selling herself to the studio wouldn't be enough to compensate.
Fang Miaomiao looked at Zeng Nian's conflicted and anxious expression with amusement. With a chuckle, she took Zeng Nian's hand and pulled her into the room.
Wen Yan'an looked up and met Wen Zhiyan's gaze, then trotted after Fang Miaomiao.
Wen Zhiyan raised an eyebrow, entered the room, and went to the kitchen.
"Miaomiao, is Mr. Wen's leg really okay?"
"It's fine, Sister Nian. Don't worry, you don't have to sell yourself to our studio."
Zeng Nian blushed. If the salary and benefits were always this good, she wouldn't mind staying at the studio. After all, working was working, no matter where.
Especially in a studio where the boss didn't interfere much and let employees have free rein, it was even better.
"Sister Nian, you came this time..."
"First, to see you. Second, to see Mr. Wen. Third, I want you not to worry. Our studio has stabilized and is starting to make money. I thought if Mr. Wen was in a bad mood, you could try to cheer him up."
Hearing this, Fang Miaomiao scrutinized Zeng Nian from head to toe before saying with a half-smile, "Sister Nian, you seem very concerned about Wen Zhiyan."
Zeng Nian was taken aback and pretended to be angry, patting Fang Miaomiao's hand. "What are you thinking? I'm doing this for you. The Wen Corporation is in turmoil, and the current person in charge isn't even a member of the Wen family."
Speaking of which, Zeng Nian sighed regretfully. "What were the Wen family members doing? Mr. Wen is clearly so good, yet this became a leverage for those people to control him. Now look, they've messed up everything."
Fang Miaomiao chuckled. "It's okay, this was within Wen Zhiyan's expectations."
After all, the early stages of the Wen Corporation involved illegal activities. If he didn't distance himself quickly, was he going to end up in prison playing cards?
"It's good that you know." Zeng Nian finally breathed a sigh of relief. "In any case, you don't have to worry about your work. However, you have a live broadcast tonight with the main creative team."
"Live broadcast? For Xixi's drama?"
"Yes, that drama has had a very good reception. According to the news, you might win an award for it, and the brand collaborations I've been negotiating for you are also almost finalized."
"Wait, wait." Fang Miaomiao's mind hadn't caught up yet. "Sister Nian, weren't you here to see me?"
How did all the work arrangements get finalized in such a short time?
"Ah, this." Zeng Nian scratched her head sheepishly. "Sorry, it's just a habit."
When chatting with artists, after a while, she would unconsciously steer the conversation towards work.
"But, seriously, don't forget."
Fang Miaomiao nodded. "Live broadcast, I know. But what award are you talking about, Sister Nian?"
"The Lotus Award for Best Newcomer."
Fang Miaomiao: "..."
Good heavens, she had acted for decades in her previous life, only to return and still be a newcomer.
"Sister Nian, I remember my scenes weren't that many."
"Considering you've been saving the world recently, I'll forgive you." Zeng Nian said, handing her phone to Fang Miaomiao. "Your scenes in it received a lot of praise because of your excellent acting. The episodes where you appeared had the highest viewership."
"You gained ten million followers for this drama."
Fang Miaomiao looked at her Weibo homepage.
Twenty million followers.
"Almost all of your twenty million followers are active."
One must understand that Fang Miaomiao was almost a newcomer in this circle. For a newcomer to gain twenty million active followers in such a short period, what did that signify?
"So, I'm popular now."
In her previous life, she had to act for a long time and be an extra for years before a single role brought her into the spotlight.
"In the entertainment industry, overnight fame is quite normal. Anyway, the news I received is that your chances of winning are 70%. Even if you don't win, you can still gain some attention on the red carpet."
Fang Miaomiao nodded quickly. "Thank you, Sister Nian."
"You're welcome. We're in a collaborative relationship. By the way, don't forget about the live broadcast tonight. Do you want me to have Xiao Zhi'er assist you?"
Fang Miaomiao shook her head. "No, thank you, Sister Nian."
Zeng Nian pondered for a moment, and only after knowing she had conveyed all her messages did she get up. "I've said what I needed to say. You should prepare well for what's next, understand?"
Fang Miaomiao nodded. "Okay, thank you, Sister Nian. I understand, don't worry."
Seeing her repeated assurances, and considering Fang Miaomiao's good reputation online recently, Zeng Nian finally relaxed. "Alright then, I'll head back to the studio to get busy."
After she left, Wen Zhiyan came out of the study. "Are you done talking with Zeng Nian?"
Fang Miaomiao nodded. "Yes, we're done. I have a live broadcast tonight."
Wen Zhiyan's eyes flickered. "Live broadcast?"
"Yes, it's for the master role I guest-starred in before. Sister Nian said it was well-received, so we're doing a live broadcast to interact with fans."
Wen Zhiyan nodded. "Then, will you use the study or the living room tonight?"
Fang Miaomiao thought for a moment. "Will you be using the study?"
"I can go find An'an."
"Then I'll use your study tonight."
"Certainly," Wen Zhiyan nodded. "Do you need any equipment?"
"No, just a computer and headphones."
"Okay, Miaomiao, don't worry. An'an and I won't disturb your work."
Fang Miaomiao blinked. She couldn't tell if it was her imagination, but his words sounded a little strange.
However, when she met his open and sincere gaze, she wondered if she was overthinking it.
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing," Fang Miaomiao shook her head and said instinctively, "It's not like you would disturb my work. You're not someone to hide."
"Oh?" Wen Zhiyan's voice drawled. "Does Miaomiao mean that when you're live broadcasting, An'an and I can come in and ask for a proper status?"
Fang Miaomiao, who was drinking water, nearly choked to death upon hearing that.
Wen Zhiyan quickly sat beside her and gently patted her back. "Why are you so careless when drinking water?"
Fang Miaomiao: "..."
What did this have to do with her? If he hadn't said something so suggestive, how could she have choked?
"You said that, were you doing it on purpose just now?"
Wen Zhiyan paused his hand-patting. "Miaomiao, am I someone to hide?"
Fang Miaomiao shook her head. "No, you're excellent."
"Then why don't you want to announce my existence? Celebrities announce their relationships and marriages online."
Why was it that for him, there was nothing.
Fang Miaomiao's eyes rolled. "You're a grown man, why do you still care about this?"
Wen Zhiyan was displeased. "I'm going to make dinner."
