A cup of warm milk down, sleepiness quickly came, Liu Chen locked the door, lay on the bed and fell asleep directly.
A good night's sleep.
Because the interview was scheduled to start in the studio around 1 p.m., the television station required Liu Chen to arrive before 12:30 p.m. for pre-interview makeup and script review.
Makeup was not necessary. Liu Chen had already touched up her makeup for herself and He Siyu before going out. He Siyu was naturally young, so Liu Chen's makeup for her was more inclined towards youthful elegance.
As for herself, between makeup that made her look like a fragile little white flower to gain sympathy and makeup that showcased her aura as a female boss, Liu Chen chose a more dominant female boss look.
The black eyeliner was not upturned, the black eyebrows were angular, the eye shadow was earth-toned, and she wore bright red lipstick.
Considering the air conditioning in the studio, Liu Chen wore a long black wool coat on the outside and a bright red sweater with dark blue jeans underneath.
She wore sports shoes with a slight height-increasing sole, and a large black leather bag slung over her shoulder. When Liu Chen walked out, Ren Yu's eyes lit up.
"I don't know why, but I feel like this outfit suits you perfectly."
Liu Chen raised her eyebrows and said with a smile,
"I think so too. I was born to be a boss~~~"
The three took the elevator down to the underground parking lot. Shen Hong was already waiting by the entrance of the building with a seven-seater business car, ready to pick them up as soon as they came out.
The car's heating was strong. Liu Chen and He Siyu sat in two separate seats in the second row, while Ren Yu sat in the front passenger seat, introducing He Siyu to Shen Hong.
"Senior He Siyu is a doctoral student at our school. Her father is Professor He Long, a renowned expert in food additives."
Upon hearing Ren Yu's introduction, Shen Hong turned around and extended his hand towards He Siyu's direction.
"I'm Shen Hong, a third-year computer science student at our school, currently working on a startup with the boss."
Shen Hong spoke and extended his hand, but He Siyu did not react. Shen Hong, being a rising startup pioneer, was quite proud.
*This scholarly family looks down on me, huh! Mr. Shen won't tolerate this! If you ignore me, I'll ignore you too!*
Just as Shen Hong was about to say more, Ren Yu interrupted him.
"Xiao Hong, let's go. We can't delay today's schedule."
Ren Yu's words made Shen Hong forget about the incident. After all, he had faced more cold shoulders while working on startups with the boss than mooncakes he had eaten over the years.
It was just that a senior from a scholarly family refused to acknowledge him, what was that in the grand scheme of things!
When they arrived at the television station, Liu Chen and He Siyu got out of the car, but Ren Yu remained in the front passenger seat.
"Chenchen, you two wait inside. I'll accompany Shen Hong to park."
Hearing this, Shen Hong felt touched, thinking to himself:
*The boss is truly the boss. Even with the sister-in-law present, he's still thinking of accompanying me.*
However, as soon as he finished thinking that, Ren Yu rolled up the window, turned to the excited Shen Hong, and said,
"He Siyu has had autism since birth."
Shen Hong didn't react immediately. After a full three seconds, Shen Hong finally responded:
"Huh?!"
Shen Hong realized that he had been upset because Senior He Siyu hadn't shaken his hand and had even wanted to say something to mock her. He suddenly felt like he was utterly wicked!
"Boss, boss, thank you! Fortunately, you stopped me just now, otherwise, otherwise, I wouldn't be able to sleep tonight. My conscience would be heavily burdened!"
"When Liu Chen goes up for the interview later, you need to keep a close eye on Senior He Siyu's condition."
Shen Hong nodded vigorously at first, then suddenly stopped and asked in confusion,
"Then where are you going later?"
Ren Yu unbuckled his seatbelt and said nonchalantly,
"I need to be on guard in case Liu Chen's biological father, Hu Xingfa, goes crazy and acts out. I have to constantly monitor the situation on stage."
After hearing this, Shen Hong pulled out the car key and got out of the car, muttering,
"He just wants to spend more time with sister-in-law, but he's making such a grand excuse."
Ren Yu, walking ahead, heard Shen Hong's voice from behind and turned around.
"Hm?"
Shen Hong quickly grinned and ran towards Ren Yu.
"Nothing, nothing! Let's go, boss!"

At this moment, Hu Xingfa was in the studio's makeup room getting his makeup done. Looking at his heavily made-up face in the mirror, Hu Xingfa quickly said to the young makeup artist,
"You don't need to make me up like this. Just a normal touch-up is fine. At our age, we can't accept this appearance!"
Coincidentally.
The makeup artist doing Hu Xingfa's makeup today was the same one who had done Liu Chen's makeup last year.
She didn't want to do makeup for this middle-aged man. As soon as she leaned in slightly to draw his eyebrows, he pretended to be foolish, his eyes fixed on her chest.
Hearing his words this time, she pursed her lips. Remembering her sister's earnest instructions, she placed the eyebrow pencil on the dressing table and said coldly,
"If you can't stand it, I'll take it off."
Hu Xingfa was unhappy with the makeup artist's attitude. *I'm just a mere makeup artist, why are you showing off?*
*When I was making money, you probably didn't even have enough to eat instant noodles!*
Fine, fine. *I have more important things to do today. I won't argue with such a petty working girl.*
"Heh, then let it be. Uh, when is Liu Chen coming?"
Hearing this, the makeup artist couldn't help but roll her eyes.
"This is an interview program. When you go on stage, Liu Chen will naturally come."
Hu Xingfa's eyes darted around upon hearing this.
"Alright, then I'll wait for the interview to start."
After saying this, the makeup artist didn't leave but sat next to Hu Xingfa.
After about ten minutes, Hu Xingfa clutched his stomach and said,
"Little sister, where is your restroom? I seem to have a stomachache, perhaps I'm too nervous about being on television."
The makeup artist frowned slightly, looking at Hu Xingfa clutching his stomach, and casually pointed towards the door of the makeup room while sitting on the chair.
"Turn right after leaving the room and go all the way to the end, that's the restroom."
Hu Xingfa quickly said with a smile, "Thank you, little sister."
He then grabbed a pack of tissues from the dressing table, opened the makeup room door, and went out.
However, after leaving, Hu Xingfa did not go to the restroom as he had said. Instead, he walked towards the fire escape next to the elevator.
Just then, Liu Chen's group arrived in the elevator. As soon as the elevator doors opened, Liu Chen saw Hu Xingfa walking towards the elevator.
"Chenchen!"
Hu Xingfa waved at Liu Chen with a joyful expression, his steps not slowing down.
Liu Chen's internal alarm bells rang. What was Hu Xingfa planning?
Did he see through her plan and no longer want to be on television?
