Urban Seduction: Housewives Club

Chapter 338 Situ Ying

After returning to the companyʼs floor, Ye Fei took advantage of the fact that the employees hadnʼt all arrived yet and called Situ Ying into the office that Cheng Hui had vacated.

He was still quite curious about this older girl, especially since Cheng Hui had implied that she was very loyal to the Ye family.

Since there was also Xu Weier in the office besides Ye Fei, Situ Ying felt a bit nervous when Ye Fei called her in, but she wasnʼt scared.

Seeing her tension, Ye Fei smiled gently, gestured for her to sit down, and said, ”Miss Situ, thereʼs no need to be nervous. Iʼll be coming here often from now on, so weʼre colleagues now.”

Situ Ying nodded slightly and sat down next to Xu Weier, wondering why Ye Fei had called her in.

”I heard from Manager Cheng that you came to Lingyun straight after graduation and never considered leaving despite the companyʼs struggles. Iʼm curious why that is,” Ye Fei asked with a smile, quickly adding, ”Of course, this is just my personal curiosity. If youʼd rather not talk about it, just forget I asked.”

Ye Feiʼs kindness eased Situ Yingʼs tension, and she smiled in response.

”Thereʼs no harm in telling you. When I was young, my family went through a major crisis. If it werenʼt for Grandpa Yeʼs help, my family of three might not be here anymore. Since then, I decided to dedicate my life to the Ye family, which is why I joined Lingyun Film right after graduation.”

Ye Fei was surprised to hear this. It seemed that his grandfatherʼs good deed had inadvertently brought him such a talented screenwriter. However, he wasnʼt the type to expect repayment for kindness, so he said with a smile, ”Actually, Miss Situ, you donʼt have to feel that way. Iʼm sure even my grandfather didnʼt expect any repayment.”

”I know,” Situ Ying replied. ”Even if it werenʼt for gratitude, I really like this company. The people here are great. Although they may seem a bit lazy and even run off to do other things during work hours, itʼs because of the companyʼs situation. If the company does well, theyʼll definitely work hard.”

Ye Fei thought to himself that Situ Ying seemed to lack social experience; otherwise, she wouldnʼt speak so candidly about the companyʼs shortcomings in front of him.

However, he wasnʼt annoyed. He smiled and said, ”Thatʼs a mistake from our headquarters, but Miss Situ, you can rest assured that this wonʼt happen again. I believe that with our joint efforts, the company will definitely grow stronger.”

”Sure, I believe you,” Situ Ying replied without hesitation. ”Because I see confidence and determination in your eyes.”

”Situ Ying, I heard your screenplays are amazing. Can I take a look?” Xu Weier suddenly asked, having taken Cheng Huiʼs words to heart and being curious whether this seemingly shy Situ Ying was really that talented.

Hearing Xu Weierʼs question, Situ Ying turned her attention to her.

This was the first time she had really noticed Xu Weier, and her eyes, hidden behind thick lenses, lit up. She nodded eagerly and said, ”Sure, come to my office, and Iʼll show you.”

”Okay!”

Xu Weier agreed, and without asking Ye Feiʼs opinion, the two of them left his office, leaving Ye Fei somewhat amused and helpless.

One of them clearly didnʼt care about formalities, while the other didnʼt seem to regard him as the president at all.

Recalling the look in Situ Yingʼs eyes when she looked at Xu Weier, he felt a shiver down his spine.

Could it be that Situ Ying was into that sort of thing?

Around two in the afternoon, all the employees had gathered in the conference room under Cheng Huiʼs lead, waiting for Ye Fei.

As Cheng Hui had said, they all placed great importance on the companyʼs future and were very excited to see that Ye Fei seemed to have plans to expand the business.

After receiving Cheng Huiʼs notification that the employees had arrived, Ye Fei left his office and headed toward the accounting room. He hadnʼt taken a few steps when he ran into the two girls. One was Xu Weier, and the other left Ye Fei stunned.

Was this woman really the same Situ Ying from just now?

Although her appearance was identical, the change was astonishing.

Situ Ying had taken off her glasses, and the transformation was due to her eyes, which had been hidden behind the thick lenses.

What kind of eyes were these?

Ye Fei couldnʼt help but marvel inwardly.

Although he didnʼt know how to describe Situ Yingʼs beautiful eyes, he knew that with just these eyes, the otherwise plain-looking Situ Ying instantly possessed a charm comparable to Xu Weierʼs. Her originally ordinary features seemed a hundred times more beautiful under the radiance of these eyes.

Seeing Ye Feiʼs stunned expression, Xu Weier couldnʼt help but feel extremely proud and said with a smile, ”Hehe, speechless, arenʼt you? Are you mesmerized by Sister Ying?”

She completely forgot that she had the same reaction when she first saw Situ Ying without her glasses.

”Ahem, ahem.” Ye Fei quickly coughed to cover his embarrassment and said, ”Just now it was Sister Situ Ying, and now itʼs Sister Ying. Your way of addressing people changes pretty fast, doesnʼt it?”

”So what? I feel like it,” Xu Weier pouted and added triumphantly, ”You donʼt know yet, do you? Sister Yingʼs screenplay is truly amazing, and she even said Iʼm perfectly suited to be the lead in her script!”

Ye Fei felt a chill run through him. Could it be that Situ Ying was like those unscrupulous directors who used such tactics to deceive innocent girls aspiring to be stars? But she didnʼt seem like that kind of person at all. He couldnʼt help but look at Situ Ying.

”My screenplay is about a fairy, and both in appearance and character, she is perfectly suited for the role,” Situ Ying explained, her usual quiet demeanor replaced by enthusiasm as she spoke about her specialty.

”Especially after talking with her just now, I almost feel like the script was written specifically for her. If she were to act in it, she wouldnʼt even need to act; just being herself would perfectly capture all the characteristics of the character.”

Ye Fei realized he had misunderstood. Situ Ying was not that kind of person at all. Her interest in Xu Weier was simply because she had found the perfect person to play the lead in her script.

After hearing Xu Weierʼs praise, Ye Fei also became curious about Situ Yingʼs screenplay and said, ”Letʼs go to the meeting first, and then Iʼll take a look at your script.”

Situ Ying nodded in agreement, while Xu Weier excitedly said, ”Sister Ying has other screenplays too, and I want to see them all!”

By the time the three of them arrived at the accounting room, all the employees had already taken their seats according to their positions.

Upon seeing Situ Ying, there was a commotion among the employees.

Having worked with her for years, they had never seen her without glasses.

Some of the younger employees couldnʼt help but regret not seizing the opportunity earlier, knowing that with the support of the Ye family, Situ Ying was about to soar to new heights. The number of people who would want to pursue her would probably exceed the capacity of the company.

Situ Ying, however, felt a bit embarrassed under her colleaguesʼ gazes. Earlier, she had simply taken off her glasses to rub her eyes because they felt tired while she was organizing her scripts.

Xu Weier had seen her and insisted that she should never wear glasses again, suggesting that she get contact lenses if she was nearsighted.

At the time, Situ Ying hadnʼt thought much of it and naturally agreed with Xu Weier, whom she felt a strong connection with. But now, she was starting to regret it.
