Transmigration as a Female Supporting Role Who Attempted Suicide
Chapter 37: A Man Appears

Chapter 37

Leaving from Anju Courtyard where Shen Shuyao lived, it didn't take long to get to her company, just a twenty-minute cab ride. As soon as she got to the company, she hurried into the office.

Ji Nian was waiting outside, about ten minutes later, Shen Shuyao came out with the senior management, who looked puzzled at the masked woman waiting outside.

"Xiaonian... let's go..." Shen Shuyao said, confused.

"Where to?" Ji Nian asked.

Shen Shuyao held her hand and whispered, "They said to take me to the new company..."

Ji Nian gently patted her hand and reassured, "Okay, let's go then."

After going downstairs, the company management had also arranged for someone to escort them. As the two were about to get into the car, he smiled and said, "Shuyao, you have great luck, I see good things for you."

Sitting in the car, Shen Shuyao saw his smiling face through the window. She blinked awkwardly and smiled, "Thank you for the kind words."

As they drove, Ji Nian could tell the female lead was a little nervous. She held her hand and said, "Don't be nervous, let's go take a look first."

"The company said we're going to Huayu Media Company," Shen Shuyao still looked confused, "But...why would they want me?"

Ji Nian's big eyes showed puzzlement as she asked, "What's wrong with Huayu? Why wouldn't they want you?"

Shen Shuyao still looked confused and said, "It's the most famous company in Jingdu. They have top celebrities signed. It's rare for them to want someone new like me..."

"That's what makes you special," Ji Nian smiled.

Although still doubtful internally, Shen Shuyao also had some expectation as she said, "I hope you're right, maybe my luck has turned."

Ji Nian nodded firmly, "It must have."

The trip was quite far, taking over 30 minutes to arrive. After getting out of the car, Shen Shuyao stood at the company entrance, still a bit blankly.

Liu Yi had been waiting downstairs for a while. They had just come over from the Yuntian Daxia headquarters. The CEO had already gone up, leaving him to wait for people downstairs.

Seeing a man walk over, Ji Nian guessed he was probably the person sent to receive them.

As expected, it was the male lead's assistant! She immediately put on a smile, wanting to make a good impression, before awkwardly realizing she still had a mask on...

Looking blankly at the approaching man, Shen Shuyao saw him dressed sharply in a black suit, giving off a serious aura that made her not dare to speak.

"Miss Shen?" Liu Yi smiled, his gaze showing appraisal. This woman could get the attention of his CEO?

Shen Shuyao nodded shyly, "Hello."

"I'm Liu Yi. The CEO has been waiting for a long time. Please come upstairs with me," Liu Yi nodded.

CEO? Waiting to sign a contract with her personally? Shen Shuyao's heart thumped, replaceing it unbelievable.

Seeing the female lead still in a daze, Ji Nian pulled her along to follow Liu Yi into the company.

As expected of Jingdu's most famous company, the setup was magnificent yet not overly ornate. Even the downstairs lobby looked exceptional.

They took the elevator up. Two artists were also waiting inside, casting glances at Shen Shuyao.

Still wearing her mask, Ji Nian had no intention of taking it off. Her awkward identity as the former girlfriend was still a hot topic.

The elevator stopped on the 22nd floor. Following Liu Yi out, they entered the reception area where two middle-aged men stood waiting at the door. Ji Nian could tell they were also management.

Seeing Liu Yi arrive, the two men quickly stood up and greeted respectfully, "Assistant Liu."

Liu Yi nodded, "The CEO is already inside. Please go in first."

Having heard rumors, the two managers knew this woman specially named by the behind-the-scenes boss to come sign a contract was no small matter. She clearly had skills.

Shen Shuyao's gaze showed unease. Still holding Ji Nian's hand tightly, unwilling to let go. She was actually quite afraid to face this alone.

The sudden company transfer without consulting her was bewildering. Like this had all happened inexplicably.

Knowing she shouldn't intrude on formal occasions, Ji Nian whispered, "I'll wait for you outside."

But Shen Shuyao shook her head and asked Liu Yi, "Can my friend accompany me inside?"

Liu Yi was put in an awkward spot. The CEO disliked women. Bringing another one in might displease him, even if not interacting directly.

"Miss Shen, signing the contract won't take long. It would be better for your friend to wait outside," Liu Yi smiled, already conveying refusal.

Ji Nian nodded, "I'll sit outside waiting for you."

Shen Shuyao lowered her head, looking wronged but not speaking. She was actually quite fearful of facing this alone.

Seeing the woman's reluctance to enter alone, Liu Yi said, "Let me go in and ask."

Shen Shuyao raised her head, eyes filled with expectation, "Thank you, Assistant Liu."

Liu Yi signaled for the two managers to follow him inside. Now the reception area was left with just the two of them.

Puzzled, Ji Nian asked, "What's wrong? Why are you afraid to go in alone?"

Shen Shuyao shook her head, "It's too strange...and the CEO coming personally? It just feels..."

Ji Nian understood the female lead's meaning. Anyone would be dumbfounded by a sudden company change.

She actually wanted to go in too. It was the male lead after all. The chosen one. She also wanted a look at what he was like.

After waiting a few minutes, Liu Yi opened the door, surprise in his eyes, "Miss Shen, please come in with your friend."

Ji Nian was startled. Just like that, he agreed? With the male lead's dislike of women, wouldn't it be dangerous for her to enter?

Delighted, Shen Shuyao pulled the woman in with her. In contrast, Ji Nian was actually a bit stunned now.

Inside was a very large office, simply decorated in a European style, with mostly gray tones giving an aloof and stern impression.

But as Shen Shuyao drew near and saw the man seated at the desk, she completely froze, eyes wide open in shock.

Seeing the female lead's stunned expression, Ji Nian also looked over. She couldn't help sighing internally, the male lead of this book had finally appeared!

What entered her eyes was a pair of indifferent eyes without a ripple, as if sculpted. His well-fitted dark blue suit gave him an air of mystery.

His piercing gaze swept over. An overwhelming aura, like a lofty king, surrounded by icy keep-out signs.

So this was the male lead. Appearance, physique, status, power - he had it all. She couldn't help feeling suddenly envious of the female lead. Ji Nian accidentally sank into his good looks.

"How can it be you?" Shen Shuyao cried out. This...this was the one she had a one-night stand with...

Seeing the man seated before her, she froze. A very capable man, often named in Jingdu's financial newspapers, but she never imagined...he was also involved in the entertainment industry, and had even signed her...

"Miss Shen, nice to see you again," Ye Jingzhan ignored the masked woman beside her, the corners of his mouth tilted up slightly, his voice tinged with coldness.
