Ran Xueyi was surprised for a moment when she heard his question. For a moment, she didn't know how to react, not because the question was difficult, rather it was because she had to take a pause and try to remember what he was talking about.
...ah, that party!
Exactly three seconds later, Ran Xueyi finally remembered. It was the party where Song Yu Han first appeared and introduced himself as her assistant manager.
At that time, Shen Yi offered to take her home since Adelle wasn't by her side when Song Yu Han suddenly came and stopped him.
Shen Yi repeated his question: "That man is really your assistant, right?"
"Why is Brother Shen asking me this? Are you interested in being a part of my team of managers?" Ran Xueyi asked a question instead of answering him. She didn't know Shen Yi's intention of asking her this so she wanted to hear his response first.
Shen Yi knew that Ran Xueyi had misunderstood his question and quickly assured her, "No one put me into this to ask you. I'm merely curious... That man is too outstanding and handsome to be an assistant. I know you're amazing and talented, but I just couldn't make sense of it."
The man he met that night was extremely handsome. He was probably the most gorgeous man Shen Yi had laid his eyes on, and as a straight man, he couldn't just understand why would that man take the position of an assistant manager rather than aiming higher? For example, a model, an actor, or there are other jobs he could have taken.
Yet, he chose to become Ran Xueyi's assistant manager.

"My company is looking for models, so I thought maybe he can..." Shen Yi really has no other intentions towards Ran Xueyi. The truth was that the company he was signed under was really looking for new models.
Ran Xueyi slightly relaxed her vigilance against Shen Yi, but she was still cautious when it came to a topic involving Song Yu Han.
Ran Xueyi smiled at him and finally replied after some thought, "He's really my assistant manager. Actually, he came to the set once but Brother Shen wasn't here. As for whether he wants to become a model or not... Brother Shen can ask him."
"Oh, really? Then, can you give me his number?' Shen Yi lowered his head as he reached to take out the phone from his pocket. But when he raised his hand, Ran Xueyi, who should have been standing in front of him, was already gone.
Shen Yi: "..."
You could have just said you didn't want to give me his number. Why make a fool out of me?
Shen Yi's heart broke. It seems that his company wouldn't be able to sign a new model who could possibly take over the world.
...
The coldness in White City was not comparable to the capital. It was extremely cold that one needed to cover themselves with a blanket and thick coats to get by.
Upon leaving the building using the backdoor where no fans and paparazzis waiting, Ran Xueyi was covered by Adelle with three layers of thick blankets.
Adelle was most afraid of Ran Xueyi catching a cold and get scolded by the Big Boss.
"I saw Shen Yi approaching you earlier. What did he tell you?"
Ran Xueyi leaned to her seat and in an expressionless manner, she said, "Trying to poach my assistant manager to become a model."
"Assistant manager? Do you even have... Oh, right. You have one." Adelle almost forgot about this matter. She couldn't help but laugh when she realized who Ran Xueyi was talking about and said, "Shen Yi's working hard for his company, he's even doing the job of the scouting team in his company."
Ran Xueyi nodded as she reminded her, "When he approaches you and asks you the same, just tell him you don't have Song Yu Han's number."
"He still wants his number?" Adelle was surprised and laughed again. "I think he might need to surrender his president's head before he could get his number."
Was it so easy to get the number of the owner of SH Group?
...
After driving for almost twenty minutes, Adelle was about to inform Ran Xueyi that they had arrived when she saw two figures standing in front of the hotel entrance.

Who's that old lady beside her?
"What's wrong?" Ran Xueyi perceived her manager's strangeness and saw that they already stopped in front of the hotel.
Adelle did not know whether she should mention Ran Yue to Ran Xueyi. But the position where Ran Yue and that old lady was standing was at the entrance so there was no reason for her to hide this.
"Isn't that Ran Yue?" Adelle pointed at them.
Ran Xueyi followed and really saw Ran Yue standing at the entrance. Her eyes were dull, at first, but when her sight fell on the figure next to her, a cold glint appeared inside her eyes.
"Turn the car around. Let's not stay at this hotel tonight."
After hearing Ran Xueyi's words, Adelle quickly turned the car and left the hotel.
Do you want me to book a flight to the capital?"
Ran Xueyi shook her head, "I'm afraid it's too late to book a flight. Besides, I have to be at the set at 7am tomorrow."
"Then, I'll book a hotel room for us to stay in for the night." Adelle parked the car on the side of the road and looked for a suitable and safe hotel for them to stay in. After getting two of them their rooms, Adelle turned her attention back to Ran Xueyi and asked, "Ran Yue... Is she perhaps waiting for you at the entrance? But who's the old lady next to her?"
Ran Xueyi looked outside and after a moment, she softly said, "Who knows."
