Wang Lan sat up, bewildered, “Is this restaurant really that famous?”
Sheng Xin nodded, “I’ve heard the chef here cooks delicious meals. If there’s a chance to buy the secret recipes and enhance my own cooking skills, that would be wonderful.”
Wang Lan gazed at Sheng Xin with sparkling eyes, surprised, “Xinxin, you can cook?”
Sheng Xin chuckled, “When 1 was studying abroad, I got tired of the local bread and milk and had to learn to cook for myself.”
Wang Lan’s satisfaction for Sheng Xin deepened.
Sheng Xin, tall and beautiful, from a privileged background, and educated abroad, could now even cook.
Wang Lan thought of her as the perfect daughter-in-law she had always dreamed of. Not only could she boast about Sheng Xin among her circle of high-society friends, but she could also enjoy homemade meals. Maybe they wouldn’t even need a housekeeper anymore.
Compared to Gu Dai, she was much better!
As for Jiang Yue…
Wang Lan scoffed. Someone who deceived and used her, coming from a mistress’ family, she had long categorized as despicable and didn’t wish to mention her again.
Speaking of family background, Wang Lan suddenly remembered she knew Mrs. Sheng but was unclear about what exactly her family’s business was.
Wang Lan turned to Sheng Xin, asking, “Xinxin, what industry is your family in?”
Sheng Xin truthfully answered, “We’re in the film and television industry.”
Wang Lan asked, “Film and television? The Sheng Media?”
Sheng Xin confirmed, “Yes.”
Wang Lan, not usually attentive to corporate matters, had still heard of Sheng Media’s reputation, astonished, she asked, “Your family owns Sheng Media? The second-ranked company in the film industry?”
Sheng Xin nodded with a smile, “My father has a good eye for investment. Over the years, we’ve produced many hit shows, and the company has developed well because of that.”
Sheng Xin then cited a few examples.
Wang Lan couldn’t help but express her excitement, “I love those shows! They were all produced by your family?”
Sheng Xin smiled softly, “Yes, auntie. If you’re interested, I can take you to the filming sites someday.”
Wang Lan nodded eagerly, “That would be great!”
Remembering Sheng Xin mentioning being busy with work on social media, Wang Lan curiously asked, “Were you busy with your company’s filming projects recently?”
Sheng Xin replied, “Yes, my father called me to assist with some projects.”
Sheng Xin then leaned closer to Wang Lan, whispering as if sharing a secret, “Auntie, I’ll tell you something, but you mustn’t tell anyone else.”
Wang Lan’s eyes lit up, promising, “Don’t worry, my lips are sealed. I won’t spill a word!”
After hearing Wang Lan’s assurance, Sheng Xin revealed, “The project I’m working on is a new movie my dad invested in. Guess who we invited to star in it?”
Wang Lan guessed several names, but Sheng Xin negated them all. Finally, Wang Lan had to ask, “Who is it?”
Sheng Xin, seeing Wang Lan couldn’t guess, revealed, “Meng Chuan!”
Wang Lan was stunned, then asked in disbelief, “You mean the international academy winner Meng Chuan?”
Sheng Xin nodded firmly, “Yes!”
Meng Chuan was globally famous. Almost everyone with access to the internet and television knew of him.
When Meng Chuan first started his career, he immediately won directors over with his superb acting skills and immense artistic talent, landing a lead role.
His performance didn’t disappoint. The film’s release garnered high praise, and everyone talked about the movie’s plot. He became the youngest academy winner in history because of that film.
Wang Lan hadn’t forgotten her fascination with Meng Chuan’s acting, excitedly saying, “Xinxin, I’m a big fan of Meng Chuan. I’ve seen every one of his films. Could you get his autograph for me?”
Sheng Xin hesitated, “Auntie, you must know how busy Meng Chuan is. He’s been abroad for years and doesn’t reveal his whereabouts. I’m afraid…”
Wang Lan pleaded, “I understand all that. But since Meng Chuan is collaborating with your company on a film, you might see him. Xinxin, please try for me.. You’re so capable; I’m sure you can do it!”
