Country Y, International Airport.
On the plane, Su Yan was speaking a foreign language fluently as she exchanged a few jokes with a flight attendant before finding her seat and sitting down.
Closing the curtains beside her, Su Yan put on her headphones and started listening to music. It would be a five hours flight from Country Y, so she planned to use the time to get some good beauty sleep.
“You’re in the wrong seat!” Suddenly, a cold voice sounded.!!
Su Yan opened her eyes subconsciously and was greeted by the sight of a youthful face staring back at her. The man was probably in his early twenties. He was slightly thin and was very tall. His facial features were very distinctive and there was an indescribable aloof beauty to him.
“It can’t be…” Su Yan took out her ticket and looked at the seat number carefully. It turned out that she was really in the wrong set. There were three seats in this row and her seat was supposed to be the one right in the middle.
Su Yan blushed and said apologetically, “I’m sorry, I sat in the wrong place. I’ll move right away.”
“Eh, Little Yan Yan, why is it you?” Suddenly, Tang Yitong’s familiar voice sounded. Su Yan turned her head and saw Tang Yitong walking over with a big box.
A bear hug was necessary for the two close friends who had coincidentally bumped into each other overseas. They pushed the man to the side and hugged each other tightly. However, the man was not angry. He merely looked at the two of them with a puzzled expression.
Tang Yitong came back to her senses and pulled the man over. “Little Yan Yan, this is the person I spoke to you about on the phone. His name is Meng Jingzhan. How is it? I have good taste, right?”
Su Yan rolled her eyes at her, she said, “Yes, his name is not bad. Jingzhan. The cool wind blows, and the night scenery is clear and bright. His name is very apt for his appearance, and he has a dignified bearing. However, aren’t you afraid that Chai Xingyu will see you holding his hand like this?”
Tang Yitong acted as if her hand had been electrocuted the moment she heard Chai Xingyu’s name. She instantly pulled withdrew her hand and calmed down. Su Yan shook her head slightly. It seems like Chai Xingyu was a great tool for subduing Tang Yitong’s antics.
“Little Meng, let me do the introductions. Her name is Su Yan and she is my best friend. She is the best. You can call her sister Su or Sister Yan.” Tang Yitong raised her head and introduced Su Yan to Meng Jingzhan.
Meng Jingzhan nodded slightly and said coldly, “Hello, Sister Su!”
Su Yan raised her eyebrows. She felt that this young hunk was very interesting. He had the appearance of a puppy and the temperament of an aloof CEO. She took the initiative to reach out and shake his hand. “Hello, Jingzhan!”
The air stewardess walked over with a smile on her face and reminded them that the plane was about to take off. She invited the three of them to quickly take their seats. Coincidentally, they were all seated together.
“Little Meng, do you still want to change seats?” Su Yan asked.
“Yes!” Meng Jingzhan nodded and said.
Su Yan and Tang Yitong looked at each other and smiled. This young hunk was really cold. It formed a sharp contrast with his tender-looking face. Su Yan was not angry and immediately changed seats with him.
A few days ago, Su Yan was still in the country. Tang Yitong called her and reported to her that she scouted a young handsome guy with great potential for the company. At first, Su Yan did not believe it, but now that she saw Meng Jingzhan in person, she found that Tang Yitong had a good eye.
Through Tang Yitong’s introduction, she accidentally discovered Meng Jingzhan by the roadside when she was attending an event in country Y. Meng Jingzhan was an international student who majored in Information Engineering. He was only 21 years old this year and already holds a Ph.D. Not only was he a straight-A student, but he was also a genius. After being coaxed and pestered by Tang Yitong for a few days, he finally agreed to enter the entertainment industry.
“He is such a promising youth, isn’t it too much of a waste for him to mingle in the entertainment industry with us?” Su Yan said with a frown. Compared to ordinary universities like theirs, or people who had never stepped foot into a university campus, Meng Jingzhan’s academic qualifications were too exceptional. If he was placed in the country, he would also be the object of contention among the leading enterprises.
“Little Yan Yan, you’re wrong to think that way. If you look like Little Meng and don’t enter the entertainment industry, it would truly be a waste. Besides, why can’t the entertainment industry have people with high academic qualifications?” Tang Yitong retorted.
Su Yan nodded. After decades of rapid development, the country had long become a major economic power in the world. This could not be separated from the popularization of education. Nowadays, many people in the entertainment industry returned from studying abroad, and among them, there was no lack of talented people with high academic qualifications.
“Little Meng, do you want to enter the entertainment industry? After joining the entertainment industry, it means that you may not have the opportunity to do research and do what you are good at ever again. You have to think carefully,” Su Yan said as she looked at Meng Jingzhan.
“It doesn’t matter. Information Technology is just a hobby of mine.” Meng Jingzhan answered very succinctly without any hesitation.
Su Yan finally felt relieved on hearing his words.. Since he didn’t feel it was a pity, there was nothing else could she say.
