Chapter 487: The Film's Completion
Gu Xuemei, however, didn't care about any of that. She grabbed Ye Fei's hand and said, "Ye Fei, our legs are all better now. Are you happy?"
"Happy? Of course, I am!" Ye Fei had known that with Dongfang Ruolan's treatment, they would recover quickly, but seeing them so lively still brought a smile to his face.
"To celebrate your recovery, Ye Fei is going to throw a big party!" he said with a grin.
"Yay, yay! How are you going to celebrate, Ye Fei?" Ever since they could walk on their own, the three little girls had become even more energetic than most girls their age and naturally loved lively gatherings.
Ye Fei laughed and said, "I'm thinking of giving each of you a kiss as my gift! How does that sound?"
"What kind of gift is that?" The three little girls blushed simultaneously, their pretty little faces turning red, but after their initial protest, they each leaned in and let Ye Fei place a gentle kiss on their soft cheeks, then quieted down with rosy faces.
Watching the three budding young girls, Zhuo Feng'er felt a pang of discomfort. She was taken aback.
After that wonderful night, Ye Fei had indeed left a deep mark on her heart. She had always thought it was because she saw him as his father, but now this sour feeling in her heart was confusing. It took her a great effort to suppress it.
In truth, Zhuo Feng'er had mistaken the order of things. She didn't see Ye Fei as Ye Lingyun and then develop feelings; rather, she developed feelings and then saw him as Ye Lingyun. Her nearly two-decade-long unrequited love had made her unwilling to fall for another man, but when the feelings came, they were uncontrollable. So, subconsciously, she had found this excuse for herself.
Leaving aside Zhuo Feng'er's thoughts, after some playful interaction with the three little girls, Ye Fei took them into the company. He greeted the somewhat surprised employees and headed straight for Situ Ying's office.
The triplet sisters, being well-behaved, didn't follow them in but went off to play on their own.
Seeing Ye Fei, who hadn't been around for a while, Situ Ying was also surprised but quickly smiled and said, "I was just about to call you, and here you are. Who's this?"
"This is Zhuo Feng'er, the new VP I've just brought on board. Feng'er, this is Situ Ying, our company's genius director," Ye Fei introduced them, used to Situ Ying's somewhat informal behavior. Since he and Zhuo Feng'er had already become very close, he called her by her first name, and she didn't seem to mind.
After the two women exchanged greetings, Ye Fei asked Situ Ying, "You mentioned you were going to call me. What's up?"
"Yes," Situ Ying replied with a smile that couldn't be concealed.
"Our film, 'Flying Immortal,' is finally completely shot. I wanted to discuss the publicity plans with you."
"Already done?" Ye Fei was genuinely surprised. He knew that finishing a movie wasn't just about wrapping up the shooting; there were still post-production and other tasks. He hadn't expected it to be completed so quickly.
Situ Ying laughed and said, "We owe a lot of that to Zhao Zhi. She's not only a great actress but also very capable in other areas. As for the animation, I was waiting for you to help with it, but you disappeared. So, I had to hire another expert in that field. I hope you don't mind my taking the initiative."
"Mind? I should be thanking you for taking the load off my shoulders," Ye Fei replied with a smile. He was interested in meeting the computer expert, so he asked, "Can I meet this expert?"
Situ Ying said, "We'll meet them later. Now that the film is done, I was thinking of holding a staff meeting once you arrive. If you're okay with it, everyone will be there."
"A staff meeting? Perfect, I'll introduce Feng'er to everyone then. Go ahead and prepare," Ye Fei agreed with Situ Ying's suggestion.
"Alright, I'll get on it," Situ Ying said as she left the office. As Ye Fei was about to leave with Zhuo Feng'er, she subtly tugged at his sleeve.
Ye Fei stopped without showing any reaction and asked quietly once Situ Ying was gone, "What's up?"
"Could you not call me Feng'er in front of your mom in the future?" Zhuo Feng'er's face turned slightly red as she spoke.
"Why?" Ye Fei looked at her blushing face, feeling quite pleased inside, but he kept a puzzled expression on his face.
Zhuo Feng'er's face turned even redder, and she said somewhat petulantly, "Just because. I don't want you to call me that!" With that, she turned and walked out ahead of him.
In Ye Fei's experience, Zhuo Feng'er had initially seemed to put on a facade of worldliness and promiscuity. After she gave herself to him, she had maintained a rather indifferent expression. This was the first time she had shown such a shy side in front of him, which delighted Ye Fei. It seemed she was genuinely starting to have feelings for him.
It didn't take long for everyone in the company to gather in the auditorium. As before, no one took the stage to speak first. Instead, they started the film, which was almost completely edited.
Glancing around the hall, Ye Fei quickly spotted Gu Xuehan with her three sisters. After nodding a greeting to her, he continued to look around but couldn't find Mu Ling and Xu Weier. This puzzled him.
"Why haven't I seen Auntie Mu and Sister Weier?" After scanning the room again and still not finding the mother and daughter, Ye Fei couldn't help but ask Situ Ying, who was sitting to his left.
After entering the auditorium, Zhuo Feng'er and Situ Ying took seats on either side of Ye Fei.
The company's employees were curious about the extremely mature and sexy beauty who had come in with Ye Fei, so they kept glancing over.
But Zhuo Feng'er completely ignored those curious looks and focused all her attention on Ye Fei. Although she didn't want to do that, she couldn't control herself.
Now, hearing him ask about two other women, her heart skipped a beat, and she inwardly scolded herself.
How could this young man be involved with so many women? He had just been flirting with those three adorable little girls, and now he was asking about other women.
