Chapter 35 - Mysterious Recommendation Letter 2 (2/2)

Fu Bainian returned the thing in his hand into his pocket, and said, “All right!”

He then got up and walked out of the restaurant.

After watching President Fu walk away, Chang Sheng had a serious expression on his face as he asked, “Director Shen, since President Fu has left, I presume that only the two of us will eat?”

Shen Yu couldn’t understand Fu Bainian’s intentions. However, judging by the irritated look on his face, it seemed that he was in a terrible mood. Smiling at Chang Sheng, Shen Yu said, “Director Chang, you can eat first. I’ve already paid the bill. There’s something within the company waiting for me to handle.”

“Huh? Then I’ll be eating by myself?”

Shen Yu started walking away with a quick wave goodbye. “Yes, I’m afraid you’ll have to eat alone. The matter within the company is urgent and needs to be settled. So, I’m leaving first.”

As he watched Shen Yu leave, Chang Sheng hid a smile filled with joy.

…...

That evening, Lan Jinyao was lying on her bed as she wrote a letter with piles of paper scattered about on the floor. Every time she wrote something that she thought didn’t quite work, she would scrunch the paper up into a ball, and chuck it off the bed. Eventually, her room became littered with rubbish.

She’d decided to write a recommendation letter to Director Chang Sheng, but as far as she knew, Chang Sheng’s only preference was eating. He had no friends, so if someone ever wanted something from him, they would invite him out to eat as a means to settle the business. Conversely, if he had something to request from others, he would just send them a large gift. His friendships were as shallow as water. Despite all this, Lan Jinyao had managed to cultivate a good relationship with him.

Unfortunately, with this, there remained a serious issue; if she wanted to write a recommendation letter, it would have to be in her handwriting. But, everyone knew that Lan Jinyao had ‘slipped’ and fallen to her death. If a letter with her handwriting were to be leaked, it would be unbelievable.

All she wanted was that role; she didn’t want to cause a commotion. It wouldn’t do her any good if the news of a dead body being resurrected were to be exposed.

So, after pondering what to do for quite a long time, Lan Jinyao decided to add a date to the letter. As long as it wasn’t professionally examined, it would be near impossible to find out the actual time the letter was written. And, in regards to what she’d tell Chang Sheng, she’d say that the letter was written ages ago, back when Lan Jinyao had been selected as the female lead of the drama and that she’d wanted to recommend a candidate for the supporting role.

Lan Jinyao wondered what the best way to write this letter would be while questioning if someone would look into her past relationship with Chen Meimei. So far, all she knew was that Chen Meimei had described her as troublesome on her schedule...this wouldn’t do. Since this was a significant issue, Lan Jinyao decided that she’d have to ask Chen Meile’s opinion first.

What was originally only going to be a few words ended up turning into a very emotional letter. The more Lan Jinyao read it; the more satisfied she felt.

Holding the piece of paper, she called Chen Meile. As soon as the call was answered, she hurriedly asked, “Sis, how was my relationship with Lan Jinyao?”

“Lan Jinyao? That female star? I haven’t heard you mention her name before. What happened?”

Lan Jinyao suppressed her joy as she excitedly said, “We were good friends! Are you sure you’ve never heard me mention her before?”

“You’ve never mentioned her! Chen Meimei, did you somehow manage to hit your head?”

“Nevermind. Sis, are you still going to introduce me to a man? Don’t forget to let me know when you find one! I’m hanging up first, bye!”

After disconnecting the call, Lan Jinyao lay on her bed and laughed.
