Chapter 105: Staying in a Hotel

However, as an actor, it was a completely different experience. One moment, you were playing the role of a doctor, and the next, you might find yourself portraying a teacher. In one project, you were assigned the character of a good-hearted individual, while in another, you could be portraying a powerful figure in the world of illicit enterprises.

This unique life experience continued to captivate Wen Nian. Initially, filming served as a means to earn money and gain fame. However, as she delved deeper into the craft, Wen Nian found herself irresistibly drawn to the profession’s distinctive allure.

Wen Nian informed Shen Jun about the date of their intended enrollment. “It’s already December 23rd. We need to promptly request leave from school. I’ll arrange for Director Xu to provide you with a written proof as well.”

Shen Jun said, “There’s no need for mine. Just get yours.”

After careful consideration, Wen Nian came to understand Young Master Shen’s intention—to harness the power of privilege.

Wen Nian made an “OK” gesture. “Then I’ll just get my own.”

[Wen Nian: Okay, Director Xu, please give me a written proof so that my parents can apply for leave from school.]

[Xu Chang: No problem, Wen Nian! You can arrive two days ahead of schedule. I’ll arrange for someone to give you a tour of the capital city. There’s plenty of fun to be had here.]

Xu Chang, however, remained slightly anxious. In Wen Nian’s absence, he harbored concerns that the Wen couple might have second thoughts. Despite having added Wen Xing on WeChat for constant communication, he understood that circumstances could alter if there were any delays. He desired to avoid any penalties and simply wished for the leading lady of his heart to complete the filming successfully.

Upon reading Xu Chang’s message, Wen Nian discerned his concerns and intentions. With a warm smile, she replied to comfort him.

[Wen Nian: I’ll do my best. Once I finalize my leave and purchase the plane ticket, I’ll inform you of the exact details then.]

Wen Nian informed Shen Jun that she had successfully secured a teacher. Although she didn’t mention specific details about food and accommodation, she requested a salary of 400 yuan per hour for Shen Jun.

Even though Shen Jun mentioned that food and accommodation were provided, considering the average cost of a hotel booked by the production team, these expenses were likely less than a quarter of the daily tuition fees. While Wen Nian felt a pang of sympathy for the financially struggling production team, she also wished for Shen Jun to avoid excessive hardship.

Although Shen Jun was wealthy, who would complain about having an abundance of money?

This price was even lower than Xu Chang had expected. He immediately agreed.

After reading the reply, Wen Nian held up her phone in front of Shen Jun while waiting for the traffic light to turn green. Her eyes sparkled with excitement as she exclaimed, “I negotiated an hourly salary of 400 yuan for you!”

In that moment, Shen Jun finally realized that the production team was covering the costs of the remedial school fees. He cast a glance at Wen Nian, who appeared as if she was seeking praise, and all his previous negative emotions dissipated.

At least this cunning little fox knew how to look out for him. Shen Jun smiled faintly. “Thank you, Miss Wen, for providing me with an opportunity to earn some money. Coincidentally, I am in need of funds.”

As Wen Nian listened to Shen Jun’s words, she saw this as a favorable opportunity to get closer to him. After all, there was no harm in offering compliments for free. “Certainly. I can tell who is closer to me. Are you considering staying at a hotel or returning home?”

Shen Jun recalled that he had a house near the school, but it wasn’t any closer to Wen Nian than staying in a hotel. Therefore, he replied, “I’ll opt for staying in a hotel. It would be too inconvenient to commute back and forth every day, considering the notorious traffic congestion in the capital city.”

Wen Nian nodded and thought about the Shen family’s accommodation environment. “Then I’ll get the production team to book the best suite for you.”

Shen Jun stopped her. “There’s no need to go through so much trouble. Just book the room next to yours. It’s also convenient for tutoring.”

Wen Nian was very gratified to see Shen Jun so serious and self-aware.

As they arrived at the Wei family’s old residence, it was almost nine o’clock in the evening. Being aware of Wei Feng’s ulterior motives towards Shen Jun, Wen Nian intentionally made an excuse to get out of the car and asked Shen Jun to park and wait nearby, ensuring he wouldn’t become a target for that cunning old fox.

The birthday party took place in a small banquet hall located within the main building of the Wei family’s old mansion. Upon their arrival, the cake-cutting ceremony had already concluded, and guests had begun engaging in conversations and dancing, seeking potential collaborations.

Today, the birthday celebration was for Wei Lai, the 14-year-old daughter of Wei Feng’s third son, Wei Jiang. Despite Wei Jiang’s marriage being arranged through a business arrangement as per his father’s instructions, marriages in wealthy families often existed in name only. The husband and wife pursued their own interests, but they had an unspoken agreement to shield their family from external affairs. Their primary objective was to secure their children’s ability to inherit the combined resources of the two families.

Wen Nian took off her coat and stored it at the door. She handed the gift box and invitation to the receptionist and searched the hall, but she didn’t see Wei Feng. She probably believed that she wouldn’t bring Shen Jun here, so she went back to work. At the venue, she only saw Wei Feng’s second and third sons presiding over the situation..
