CHAPTER 847: CHAPTER 849: SURPRISE AT THE AIRPORT

He always wishes he could take all the company’s business home to handle, and there’s never a moment he sneaks some time off without dealing with work.

In the past, he would often juggle filming and handling company affairs, leading to the exhausting experience of running back and forth, which is better left unsaid.

However, ever since Sheng Yan started dating, his workaholic behavior has greatly improved. You could say, under the nurture of love, Zhang Ming almost doesn’t recognize this person as Sheng Yan anymore.

And now, this person not only occasionally flaunts his relationship in front of him but even takes time off work?

What? Is this still the Sheng Yan he knows?

Just as Zhang Ming’s mind was in a chaotic daze, standing in front of him, Sheng Yan slightly curved his lips and faintly said, "She’s back."

Zhang Ming still looked bewildered, "Who’s back that can compare to your company’s matters? Except for He Jinxia..."

Pausing, he suddenly realized and, incredulously said, "Could it be that He Jinxia is back?"

Sheng Yan glanced at him, refusing to answer such a silly question.

He stepped forward, but suddenly his hand was grabbed by Zhang Ming. Turning to look, Zhang Ming was looking at him with a pleased expression.

"Wait, wait, Boss, your significant life event—marriage—is almost settled. Do you think I could get some time off? My wife has been wanting to go to Phuket Island abroad for a long time, and also to that couple’s paradise resort."

Sheng Yan paused, a thoughtful glint in his eyes, pulled his hand away, and said lightly,

"Compile a list of places suitable for couples—no, for married couples’ vacations, and regarding your time off, I’ll consider it."

Zhang Ming immediately stood at attention and saluted, "Yes, President!"

The explosive success of "Special Action," with rave reviews online, hasn’t affected He Jinxia.

At this moment, she was unaware that "Special Action" premiered today and didn’t know how well the film has performed.

The filming on the foreign island is enclosed, so He Jinxia maintained a frequency of calling Luo You every three or four days, mostly just to learn about her career expansion and current popular news in Huaxia.

Luo You indirectly gathered information that He Jinxia’s filming wrap-up time was uncertain and might only end in mid-May, so he didn’t mention the "Special Action" movie premiere to her.

Fearful that mentioning it might distract her, she might constantly think about this matter or even ask the director for leave.

Knowing that "Devil’s Sea 4" is being filmed to its final stages, everyone was running on adrenaline hoping to finish in one shot, and her wanting to take leave would be unreasonable and, ultimately, might offend the director.

Stanlanca’s international fame far exceeded Director Qian’s, and he definitely couldn’t allow He Jinxia to offend Stanlanca. Balancing the two, he could only apologize to Director Qian.

The plane traveled for nearly three hours, and when He Jinxia disembarked, she took the regular passageway, which had few passengers at this hour. Relying on her disguise, He Jinxia confidently felt she could evade paparazzi and fans.

She walked briskly, keeping her head down and focused on her small space, occasionally dodging passersby.

Suddenly, a man wearing sneakers approached her directly. What left the deepest impression on her was the man’s shoes; she could only see those shoes.

They were limited edition sneakers recently released by Vanks, also known as the battle shoes of internationally famous basketball star Sibi. Last month, Sibi wore these battle shoes and led his team to victory in the NBA finals.

Moreover, Sibi was this season’s MVP and was highly sought-after, being extremely popular in foreign media recently, dominating the headlines for a week straight.

He Jinxia often came across news involving Sibi wherever she browsed, and she vaguely pieced together some NBA history, realizing it’s a sport highly regarded by foreigners, where stars emerging from it will initially have significant popularity if they transition into entertainers.

Of course, popularity is one thing; landing good roles is another.

Transitioning from sports star to celebrity involves a considerable gap; although they might be popular in the first year, once the year passes without good projects, they blend into the crowd.

So, currently famous sports stars in the foreign entertainment circle mostly engage in cameo or special appearances, thereby earning a bit more without compromising their sports career - perfect.

He Jinxia remembered those sneakers thanks to Vanks’ branding. She knew Vanks was a well-known luxury brand, and its industries were numerous, with watches being their main product line.

At most, she imagined Vanks to launch handbags, cosmetics, and high-heels targeting the female market, as women’s money is the easiest to earn.

Never did she expect men’s sneakers to also carry their mark, especially Sibi’s battle shoes, limited to three hundred pairs worldwide, which aren’t something anyone can purchase.

He Jinxia glanced a few more times at those sneakers, murmuring inwardly: People in Huaxia sure have a lot of money; even a random encounter at the airport ends up meeting with a discreet millionaire.

She sidestepped, brushing past the owner of the sneakers.

The man spread his arms, intending to embrace her, but was taken aback by her reaction. It truly was... a delightful surprise.

Sheng Yan laughed gently, turned, and stretched his long arms to pull the woman walking ahead.

Being suddenly tugged, He Jinxia involuntarily toppled towards the man’s side. She turned to look, exclaiming in surprise, "What are you doing?"

Suddenly, her eyes widened, recognizing the young man smiling with sunglasses.

"Sheng, Sheng... Why are you here?"

Sheng Yan raised an eyebrow, his voice as mellow as a cello flowing out, "What, you don’t recognize me?"

He Jinxia heard the hint of threat in his words and quickly shook her head, "No, I just didn’t expect you’d come here."

Her mind flashed with realization, blurting, "That doctor tricked me, he clearly promised not to tell you!"

Sheng Yan pulled her closer to him, patting her head, "Don’t blame others, he already messaged me after you spoke to him. You can’t blame him."

He Jinxia pouted, "I originally wanted to surprise you, he could have retracted the message!"

Sheng Yan pinched her cheek, "He couldn’t retract it; you told him too late. When he thought about retracting, I had already seen it and replied, afterward he suggested pretending I hadn’t seen it, but I thought it over and decided I wanted to come and greet you."

Once he finished speaking, Sheng Yan opened his arms and tightly embraced her, giving her a full hug.
