Chapter 102: The Final Two Hours!

"Ryan Press Conference?" Lin Yeman raised an eyebrow with keen interest. "Why choose that time? Aren't you afraid Tong Yue will slaughter you?"

Shen Huai smiled noncommittally, plopped down onto the sofa, and leaned back.

He interlaced his fingers and said unhurriedly, "Have you forgotten? In two hours, Ryan will officially announce their brand spokesperson for the entire line."

Upon hearing this, Lin Yeman was somewhat dismissive: "Does a matter like this need you to remind me? I knew that long ago, but so what? You can't exactly steal the spotlight."

Hearing this, Shen Huai smiled without a word, just watching her quietly.

His deep eyes flickered with an inexplicable light.

"Wait..."

Lin Yeman seemed to have caught on; she suddenly widened her eyes and looked at Shen Huai in disbelief. "Are you trying to say, Li Xinran?"

Shen Huai smiled and nodded.

"You brat!"

Lin Yeman's eyes suddenly lit up, and she playfully slapped Shen Huai on the back. "I was wondering why you suddenly brought up Ryan; so you were waiting for me here?"

Shen Huai curled his lips into an arc and spoke faintly: "Ryan is a long-established enterprise in China's technology sector, carrying the expectations of the nation, with products covering mobile phones, computers, smart home appliances, and many other fields."

"Looking across all of China, its status as a tech hegemon is unshakable; even the Shen Family has to avoid its sharp edge."

"In the history of Ryan's corporate development, they have never truly hired a celebrity as their corporate spokesperson; at most, they have had brand ambassadors for specific product lines."

"So, strictly speaking, Li Xinran counts as Ryan's first spokesperson for the entire line."

After a pause, Shen Huai changed the subject and looked at Lin Yeman enigmatically: "And Li Xinran herself is a highly controversial existence."

"From being a victim of bullying to being a suspected mistress, and finally the exposure of her love affair with the only son of the Shen Family, the topic-worthiness of every single point is enough to paralyze Weibo."

"So after this endorsement is officially announced, the Ryan Press Conference will inevitably become the focal point for national media."

"If at this moment, the Heir to the Shen Family were to drop in as a mysterious guest, how much of a sensation do you think it would cause?"

After Shen Huai finished speaking, his gaze drifted toward Lin Yeman with profound meaning.

Lin Yeman rolled her eyes.

A glimmer of excitement began to rise in her eyes.

She had to admit, this move by Shen Huai was truly brilliant.

It was foreseeable.

This powerful alliance would surely set off an unprecedented public opinion frenzy in China.

Lin Yeman took a deep breath.

In a daze, she could even see the grand, highly anticipated scene on the day of the press conference.

She swallowed involuntarily and said in a low voice: "... You mean to appear directly as the Heir to the Shen Family from overseas?"

"That's right." Shen Huai nodded.

"Then how do you plan to disguise this face?" Lin Yeman lightly tapped Shen Huai's chin. "Your face has caused such a huge stir at Xingyao; it would be hard to keep people from discovering clues, wouldn't it?"

Hearing this, Shen Huai grabbed Lin Yeman's mischievous finger and said with a playful smile, "Why hide it? Just appearing openly is fine."

"Anyway, the paparazzi couldn't possibly dig up any dirt on a person who doesn't exist."

"Besides..."

Shen Huai paused, smiling somewhat wickedly, "We were both born to the same mother; it's quite normal for us to look similar, isn't it?"

"Crazy enough, I like it."

Lin Yeman lightly wrapped her arms around Shen Huai's neck and pecked his cheek: "This way, even if you don't directly admit your identity, you've still legitimately tied yourself to the Shen Family."

"In the end, you only need to say that having you act as the person in charge was the intention of 'that Heir,' and that would be enough to make everyone shut up."

"This self-directed and self-acted play is truly wonderful."

Shen Huai's eyes curved into an arc: "It's because Teacher Lin taught me well."

"Is that so?" Lin Yeman smiled somewhat slyly. "I can teach you even more, you know."

As she spoke, Lin Yeman rubbed closely against Shen Huai.

The two were so close that Shen Huai couldn't help but bob his Adam's apple.

At this moment, her eyes were seductive, and her red lips were slightly parted.

Her fair fingers slid gently over Shen Huai's Adam's apple, all the way down, finally resting on his chest and drawing circles.

"It seems a bit hot." Lin Yeman smirked, applying a bit more pressure with her hand.

Shen Huai's breath hitched instantly.

The scent of perfume drilled into his nasal cavity, teasing his nerves. Shen Huai grabbed that restless hand, his voice hoarse: "Lin Yeman, don't mess around..."

"What, are you scared?"

Lin Yeman not only didn't restrain herself, but became even bolder. "Didn't you just call me Teacher Lin? How would it be worthy of that title if I didn't teach you a thing or two?"

"..."

Shen Huai only felt his mouth go dry; the flames within him were easily fanned into a raging fire by her.

Gritting his teeth, Shen Huai flipped over and pinned Lin Yeman down on the sofa.

He lowered his head and kissed those red lips that kept provoking him.

"Mmm..."

Lin Yeman let out a soft moan.

Her hands also couldn't help but climb onto Shen Huai's shoulders, responding to this domineering kiss.

The atmosphere in the office rose sharply.

Shen Huai's hand wandered downward, pressing against Lin Yeman's twisting figure.

An ambiguous aura was spreading rapidly between the two—

"Knock, knock, knock!"

The sudden knocking on the door was like a basin of cold water poured over their heads, instantly extinguishing the flames burning between the two of them.

Shen Huai snapped back to his senses, hurriedly got up from Lin Yeman, and quickly straightened his somewhat disheveled clothes.

He took several deep breaths before regaining his former composure.

Damn it, how could he have been so carried away just now? A flicker of darkness flashed through Lin Yeman's eyes.

She licked her lips, still wanting more, and muttered with dissatisfaction, "What a buzzkill..."

After speaking, she stood up and simply smoothed out the hem of her skirt that had been crushed.

"Come in."

After receiving permission, the office door was turned open.

Li Xinran's manager, Yu Xiang, walked in with an anxious look on her face.

As soon as she entered the office and prepared to report on work, she saw Team Leader Lin, whose flush had not yet faded, and Shen Huai, who was standing to the side with a tense expression.

"Shen Huai, why are you here?" Yu Xiang asked with some surprise.

"Can he not be here?" Lin Yeman asked back indifferently, leaving Yu Xiang so choked up she didn't know what to say.

"What do you need me for?"

Only then did Yu Xiang withdraw her gaze and hurriedly report: "Team Leader, Li Xinran has just finished signing the contract with Ryan, and the official announcement photos have also been taken. Would you like to go take a look?"

"Team Leader Tong's side has all media publicity preparations ready, just waiting for the final version."

Lin Yeman glanced at Shen Huai and curled her lips playfully: "I won't go look; let Shen Huai go for this matter."

"Me?" Shen Huai frowned, not knowing what kind of trick Lin Yeman was planning to pull again.

Lin Yeman swept a meaningful glance at Shen Huai, leaned into his ear, and lowered her voice, her tone teasing: "In two hours, your old flame is going to ascend."

"Aren't you curious about the expression on her face when she finds out that the Young Master Shen is about to make a surprise appearance at the Ryan Press Conference?"

"Will it be nervousness, excitement, or perhaps panic? Just thinking about it is very interesting."

After finishing, Lin Yeman looked at Shen Huai with a smile that wasn't quite a smile.

"Is it really appropriate to tease your Ziwei Star like this?" Shen Huai raised his eyes meaningfully, understanding what was in Lin Yeman's heart as clearly as a mirror.

"Hahaha, even if she is a Ziwei Star, the moment I think about her having an affair with the Young Master Shen, I get jealous."

Lin Yeman said this jokingly with a radiant smile; she didn't look like she was jealous at all.

Yu Xiang listened, stunned, not understanding a word of it.

Lin Yeman jealous of Li Xinran?

How could that be possible.

It was clearly just a joke.

Only Shen Huai gazed at Lin Yeman with deep eyes.

He knew that Lin Yeman meant what she said.

After a long while, he sighed helplessly, turned to Yu Xiang, and said, "Where is Li Xinran? I'll go with you."
