CHAPTER 10 - PART 2

At SEAN STUDIO

The Limo is seen stopping in front of a 30-storeyed building which is the headquarters of the SEAN STUDIO which is the largest entertainment company in China known for its world-class talent. The company was established by Zhan's father, Mr. Xiao Changse.

The idea for the establishment of the Sean Studio came when Mr. Xiao was on his regular business trip to one of the rural areas of China as the Xiao Corporation have acquired lands there for the settlement of new industries and it was in his habit that in the morning he used to inspect the site and at night just roam around the local areas to relax his mind. It was during one such visit he found a few people who used to do stage shows and when Mr. Xiao saw their talent he was amazed as this talent deserved to be recognized so when he came back he felt a need to start an entertainment studio which would search talent all around the country and would provide recognition to such a talent, so with the help of his friend, Director Lay, who was one of the renowned directors of China, he started SEAN STUDIO under XIAO CORPORATION which is only known to few as he didn't want to gain favors to this studio due to his name. From its establishment 15 years back till now SEAN STUDIOS has searched for such talents, polished them, and made them recognized all around the world.

The managing of the company earlier was done by Director Lay and Zhan's Mother Mrs. Xiao Sanren as she had a love for art forms but after the death of his parents as Zhan took the position of Xiao group he gave all the powers of SEAN STUDIO to Director Lay which the latter after great insistent from both Zhan and Mr. Wang accepted but with a condition that Zhan will also play a role in managing the company because he is the rightful owner of the studio which the latter accepted and from that day Zhan has a regular inspection for the studio.

As the car stops in front of the building Zhan straightens himself as his driver opens the door for him to step out and after moving out he moves into the building followed by his general manager Mr. Kuan, his secretary Wen Ning and his security team. As soon Zhan moves into the reception area, he looks around and see people working diligently, and seeing this Zhan is satisfied.

Zhan who is inspecting the place is suddenly startled by a voice, "good afternoon, Mr. Sean!"

Director Lay who had been waiting for Zhan at the reception when saw him just moved toward him as he greets the young CEO.

Zhan who had been busy looking around when heard the voice is a little bit startled but soon turned in the direction of the voice and on seeing Director Lay, Zhan just composes and as the latter reached him he wished back, "Good afternoon, Director Lay!"

Director Lay on reaching Zhan is about to bow his head when suddenly he felt a hand on his shoulder.

Zhan when saw Director Lay about to bow is shocked so he hurries off and grasps the shoulder of the elder to stop him, which makes the latter confused as he is stopped midway, Zhan seeing the expression of the elder speaks, " No need of formality, Director Lay!"

"But sir-" director lay is about to speak but is cut in the middle by Zhan as he speaks, "no but, uncle, you are my elder and elder should not bow to the younger, instead I should do this!" Making Director Lay shocked and happy at the same time.

And after speaking Zhan is about to bow but this time Mr. Lay stops him as he speaks, "no need for all this Zhan. You are my friend's son and like my own son!" And with this Director Lay takes Zhan in his arms making the younger first shocked but then he smiled as he felt a warmth in that embrace. After a few minutes, the elder broke the hug as he speaks, "should we move, Young CEO!" Making Zhan chuckle as he spoke, "sure!"

With this, all the four entered the personal elevator of the CEO and pressed the button to the 30th floor as the elevator closes which after a few minutes, opens on the 30th floor directly in the CEO's office with a ding.


Zhan after entering the office just settles on his chair as director Lay and Kuan take their seats in front of him. After everything is settled, Zhan looks at Mr. Lay who taking this as a cue speaks, "sir, this is the schedule of Mr. Wang for today!" As he places a tab on the table.

Zhan after taking the tab just moves back as he starts reading the schedule of Yibo and after reading them just looks at his phone to see it's already 2:45 pm. Zhan seeing this takes out his phone and text Cheng, "you can use my personal parking" and after texting Cheng keeps the phone back into his pocket as he stood up from his chair as he speaks, "let's move to the interview floor!" and with this exits his office.

The interview was being held on the 20th floor and was being prepared for the shooting when Zhan entered the floor which made everyone stop their work as they looked at the person who entered the floor and on seeing the CEO of Xiao Group of Industries are shocked as they didn't expect him to be here.

Zhan after entering the floor looks around and turns toward the director as he speaks, "so is this the place where the interview is being held?"

"Yes sir!" Said, Director Lay.

Zhan just looked around as he speaks, "good work!"

"Thanks, sir!" Replied Director Lay and with this Zhan starts moving around to check the place as he starts asking a few questions now and then. As he is inspecting the place he is looking serious and has a deadly aura making everyone gulp in fear, and as the inspection is being done a silence is being spread in the room making everyone shiver in the room but soon the silence is disturbed as Wen Ning approaches Zhan as he speaks, "Sir, Mr. Xiao Wang has arrived and is heading toward the interview floor!"

Zhan on listening to this unconsciously smiles widely as only the mention of the name Yibo can bring a smile to his face making everyone shocked as they have heard that the CEO never smiles and is known for his cold-hearted nature and expressionless face and seeing him smile for the first time make them shocked.

Zhan on hearing this just looks toward Director Lay as he speaks, "is the waiting room ready?"
"Yes sir," replied Director Lay, and with this Zhan moved toward the room he specifically asked to prepare for him to watch Yibo's interview.

Zhan when heard that Yibo is going to have an interview scheduled at Sean Studio immediately cleared his schedule for today evening as he wanted to watch the interview of Yibo, and specifically asked Kuan to make arrangements for the same cause. As Zhan enters the room he looks around and finding the room according to his liking looks at Kuan and speaks, "good work, Kuan!"

Kuan hearing smiles as he speaks, "thanks Zhan" and with this both settle in the room looking outside to wait for that person which makes Zhan happy in a way Zhan can't describe.


Zhan is standing near the French window of the room which is giving him a view of all the things happening in front of him but his eyes are searching for just one person which makes his heart beat erratically, sometimes making his heart skip a beat and bringing colors to his otherwise dull and gloomy life which revolves around the corporate world. Zhan is waiting anxiously for Yibo though he had seen Yibo just in the morning only but to him, every minute he can see Yibo closely is precious because he doesn't know when will be the next time he will get to see him and all his patient waiting for Yibo stops when he sees the younger walking like an ethereal beauty descending from heaven, and as soon he sees him entering the room his eyes are as focused on every action of the younger and seeing him smiling like this makes him feel a warmth in his heart as he watches him disappearing into his changing room.

Zhan who knows Yibo's schedule for today knows that the younger is going to have a photoshoot today and this is the first time he is going to see him having a photoshoot and just thinking about this makes him giggle like a teenager in love who is waiting for his loved one to show him the dress that they recently brought and put up a fashion show specifically for the other person which is just reserved for him but in this case, though its a photoshoot everyone can see but to Zhan, the feeling is just indescribable because it's Yibo and anything about Yibo is just unique to Zhan.


After a few minutes when he saw the younger walking out of the room all dressed up and ready for his photo shoot, Zhan feels his heart skip a beat, and his breath hitched as he sees the younger in the outfit for the photo shoot as the latter poses for the photographer. Zhan who is admiring Yibo suddenly looked around and when saw people gaze at Yibo as they want to capture the star he feels a feeling of possessiveness building up inside him as he wants the younger for himself and wants to hide him from the eyes of everyone. But all the end cut loose when Yibo smirked and did a wink at the photographer which made Zhan get his all nerves ending loose as he wants to run and grab the younger to show him just to whom he belongs and take him away from the eyes of everyone but to his relief the photoshoot ended soon because if it didn't end soon Zhan doesn't know what he had done as he was finding Yibo too sexy today.

Kuan who was watching Zhan's expression knew what exactly was going on in the young heir's head so he spoke, "isn't he too sexy, Zhan?"

Zhan who was in his daze replied, " yes, too sexy even I find him hard to resist!"

Kuan when heard this laughed making Zhan come out of his daze and as soon as Zhan realized what he said he felt his ears turning red which made Kuan laugh more loudly. Zhan who knew that he is being teased by his friend was about to retort but suddenly his phone binged with a message so Zhan fished out the phone to see who it is and seeing the message from Cheng he opens it as he finds all the photos of Yibo's today's photoshoot which makes him forget what he was about to do as he starts admiring the person in photos.


It was around 6:30 pm when the interview started and to Zhan's satisfaction, the interview was going well as he found Yibo to be comfortable during the interview so Zhan relaxed as he listened to the interviewer's questions and Yibo's answers.

As the interview was proceeding smoothly he didn't realize how the time passed but when the interviewee asked who the younger want to meet in his life. Zhan just looked in the direction of Yibo and since the older who had a sharp sense knew how to study the faces of the people as it made him a proficient businessman but today on seeing the younger expression he realized the love the younger has for the person he is thinking about and his heartaches as he just want to be this person whom Yibo wants to meet but he knows this will never happen as the younger don't want to meet him.

But the next question the younger was asked was something he didn't expect and seeing the younger expression he knows that how much younger is irritated by the question. He is clearly showing that he doesn't want to answer but the interviewer keeps on asking which makes Zhan angry l and he wants to snap at the interviewer but as he sees Yibo running out of the room he knows that the younger is sad and agitated as he knows how much Yibo hates being asked something he doesn't want to answer.

As Zhan sees Yibo moving out he also leaves the room to check for the boy, as he knows Yibo is angry now. Zhan who is searching for Yibo moves to open space when he suddenly heard Cheng's voice. Zhan on hearing the voice moves toward the place where he sees Yibo standing with Cheng as the latter spoke.
"What do you mean, Yibo?"

Zhan when heard this is confused so he stopped in his steps to get a view of what is happening there so he moves toward them when he heard Yibo's voice "I spoke the truth!"

Zhan hearing this stops in his steps when he again hears Cheng's Voice
"I didn't get you"

"Yes, there is someone whom I don't want to meet!" Came another voice that makes Zhan freeze in the place he is standing and his heart beats in anxiousness and fear.

"I didn't get you Yibo. Who is the person you don't want to meet?" Asked Cheng with a confused look.

Yibo who heard it clenched his fist as he speaks, "MY HUSBAND!"

Zhan who has been standing there felt his heart clenching and the dream he built shattering as his only hope to see the younger is destroyed today which makes him unconsciously shed a tear from his eyes.
