Who are you?
"Yan Yan, this is a gift from both of us. We are really very grateful to you for saving our family. If not for you, our Xuxu would have been kidnapped. And what would have happened to him after that, we don't need to tell you as you already know," While saying this Zhuo Yuntian felt a chill run down her spine, "So for saving our family, please accept this gratitude from us."1
"But, this is too much.." Qin Yan could not believe what was happening. The document in front of her was a share transfer agreement. As soon as she signed the agreement, one percent shares of Simu would be hers. She would not have to do anything but reap the dividends.
Moreover, if it was a small company, one percent shares would not amount to much money. But in case of Simu, this one percent amounted to millions of yuan.
This was why Qin Yan was shocked. Qi Yu and Zhou Yuntian were giving her too much.
As she was dwelling on her thoughts, she heard a knock on the office door. Qi Yu responded, "Come in!"
His secretary came in with a bunch of profiles in his hand and placed it before Qi Yu, "Sir, these are the models screened for our endorsement. Please have a look at them."
Qi Yu nodded at his secretary's words and put the profiles on the table before asking the secretary to leave.
The office regained silence. The couple looked at Qin Yan expectantly, wondering what her decision would be. They were ninety percent sure that nobody would be able to refuse this gift, which was why they offered it to Qin Yan. This showed their gratefulness towards her and their intention to keep her in contact with them.
Qin Yan gazed at the document and sighed. She then looked at the Qi couple and pushed the document towards Zhuo Yuntian, "Sister Tian, I am sorry but I cannot accept this," Qin Yan said firmly, "I have not saved Xuxu to get any kind of benefits from you guys, much less the shares of your company. Please try to understand."
Qi Yu and Zhuo Yuntian glanced at each other and saw the admiration in the eyes for Qin Yan increase manifold. She really refused a chicken which would always give eggs of gold. Very few people were able to resist the temptation of money. Qin Yan being one, Qi Yu and Zhuo Yuntian felt that she was someone to be befriended.
But everything apart, if they could not repay her, they would not feel good and would always feel that they were in a debt. This feeling was not good and quite suffocating. So they still insisted that she take the offer.
But even after trying to convince her for about half an hour, Qin Yan did not flinch from her position. She still refused.
Qi Yu and Zhuo Yuntian sighed.
Finally Zhuo Yuntian gave up and said to Qin Yan, "Okay, we will not force you to accept the shares. But can you give us a chance to repay the favour? Please try to understand our situation too."
Qin Yan gazed at Zhuo Yuntian and saw the desperation to repay the favour in her eyes. It was really difficult to be indebted to someone, be it in cash or in kind. Some people could not sleep peacefully if they were indebted. Zhou Yuntian and Qi Yu were the same kind of people.
Qin Yan felt exhausted. She didn't know what to ask for. Should she ask for some clothes? But that would not bring peace to the couple's minds.
Suddenly, her gaze fell on the profiles of the models kept on Qi Yu's table. Her mind drifted to her phone call with Xu Tong when she asked about her company's situation.
'Yes, I could ask for this,' she suddenly had an idea.
Zhuo Yuntian saw Qin Yan's eyes lit up. She Instantly fell happy realising that there might be something that Qin Yan could ask them. Moreover, she was not even a bit afraid of Qin Yan's demand as she had understood the latter's character till now. Qin Yan was not a sucker, she knew that.
"Yan Yan, have you thought of anything that we can help with?" Zhuo Yuntian probed Qin Yan softly.
Qin Yan looked at Zhuo Yuntian and took a deep breath, "Sister Tian, I have a request. You do know the actress Jiang Xun, right?"
Zhuo Yuntian grew puzzled. She had heard of Jiang Xun. A couple of years ago, this starlet was quite popular. But in recent times, she had faded out from the circle. Actresses from Skylark Entertainment had replaced her and she just had some few works right at the moment which were not noteworthy.
But why did Qin Yan suddenly mention her?
Zhuo Yuntian nodded at Qin Yan, "Yes, I have heard about her. But now she is not that popular although her potential is good. Why are you asking about it?"
Qi Yu also looked at Qin Yan in confusion. He tried to see through Qin Yan's thoughts but still couldn't figure out the situation.
Qin Yan continued, "Actually, Jiang Xun is the artist of my company. So, I was wondering if you can give her a chance to audition for the endorsement of Simu?" Qin Yan asked hesitantly.
"Artist of your company? But isn't Jiang Xun still under Starlight Entertainment?" Zhuo Yuntian asked in confusion.
"Yes, she is still under Starlight Entertainment!" Qin Yan confirmed.
"Then..."
"You are the new mysterious owner of Starlight Entertainment?" Qi Yu and Zhou Yuntian stood up in shock.
Qin Yan nodded. They were the first outsiders to know her real face and name. She revealed her identity in front of them as she knew that they meant no harm.
On the other hand, the shock Qi Yu and Zhuo Yuntian felt was no joke. Starlight Entertainment was quite a name in the entertainment industry. Even though it had faded a little now, but it's artists namely Fang Wen and Ji Lingchen were not to be underestimated. Even Gong Tianhao had won a Best Actor Award.
Everyone thought that Skylark Entertainment was going to acquire Starlight but nobody expected that a mysterious female would suddenly disrupt Skylark Entertainment's plans.
What was more shocking was that nobody knew who she was nor could anybody find out. It meant that she had some power behind her for her identity to be kept a secret.
But what about her face? Qi Yu and Zhuo Yuntian looked at each other.
Qi Yu sat down slowly and asked hesitantly to Qin Yan, "But the lady in the news was not you.." Qi Yu asked in gentlest manner as he did not want to offend their benefactor.
It was not like they didn't trust Qin Yan but they had too many questions in their mind.
Qin Yan sighed. Hiding her identity was no joke. She handed over Qi Jingxu to Zhuo Yuntian first. In between their conversation, the little guy had fallen asleep.
Qin Yan then took out the average looking mask from her handbag and applied it on her face.
Qi Yu and Zhuo Yuntian looked at Qin Yan in shock. Their eyes were wide open with their lips parted in surprise as they saw a beautiful and gorgeous Qin Yan turn into an average looking woman who they saw on the television in the press conference of Starlight Entertainment.
"How did you..How did you do this?" Zhou Yuntian stammered, not moving her eyes from Qin Yan's face for even a moment. If she had not seen the whole process by her own eyes, she would not have believed that this is a human skin type mask. Nobody could guess it.
Even Qi Yu stared at Qin Yan unblinkingly. He thought that there was barely anything that could shock him, but now he realised that the world was too big and there were many things that he had never seen or experienced.
Qin Yan on the other hand, felt fortunate that she carried this mask in her handbag everytime. As this was the only identity that she had hidden, just carrying this mask was enough and she did it for emergency purposes. She didn't know that it would come handy today.
"This is a mask I made myself. You guys are the first ones to know of this. Since I didn't want any trouble from the side of Skylark Entertainment, I chose to hide my identity like this," Qin Yan laughed, "This is why nobody was able to track me, as a person with this face doesn't exist!"
Qi Yu tried to come back to his senses. After calming down a bit, he asked, "But why did you reveal your identity to us? Aren't you afraid that we will disclose it to anyone?"
Qin Yan shook her head, "I am quite good in identifying people. I know that you are good people and would not ever have any ill-intentions towards me. Moreover, you would not get anything by ruining me."
