Chapter 507: Chapter 507: Fifteen Days? A Movie?

Over the years, Shen Junlan had been on her own, eating alone, living alone, writing alone...

She desperately needed a sense of reliance, a sense of security. After this incident, her need for that security only magnified.

And Chen Wei, precisely provided her with that sense of safety. The moment she embraced Chen Wei, Shen Junlan’s previously chaotic emotions calmed down, as if she had found a haven in a storm.

She wanted to enjoy this brief tranquility a bit longer, even a second more was precious.

Chen Wei found himself unable to refuse, letting Shen Junlan hug him and lean against his chest.

A soft pressure brushed against his chest intermittently.

It must be said, her nightgown was far too thin, almost like wearing nothing at all when pressed close, very smooth, and it even carried a hint of coolness.

It wasn’t exactly unpleasant...

Seven or eight minutes later.

Shen Junlan finally calmed her emotions, let go, stepped back, lifted a stray lock of hair from her face, and tucked it behind her ear with a somewhat awkward smile, "Sorry, I lost my composure."

"It’s okay. You just went through something like that, it’s normal to crave some emotional comfort," Chen Wei reassured Shen Junlan not to mind it, as he didn’t think too much of it himself.

"Um, thank you," Shen Junlan said with a slight smile, very grateful for Chen Wei’s understanding.

At the same time, her trust in him surged.

Because just now, she had been so close to him, dressed so lightly, yet he had never harbored any ill intentions towards her from the beginning to the end.

For a moment, Shen Junlan even wondered if what she had embraced was not a person, but a wooden post.

Was he just that unflappable?

Or did she lack appeal in his eyes?

A question popped up in Shen Junlan’s mind.

No appeal?

How could she have no appeal? Even Chen Wei had to admit that once Shen Junlan’s complexion smoothed out, the dark circles under her eyes vanished, and she wasn’t showing a sickly demeanor, she was very beautiful, truly beautiful, in an intellectual kind of way.

The girl-next-door style? Or perhaps a female teacher? Oozing a mature charm.

Shen Junlan was unaware of Chen Wei’s thoughts as she took out her phone, dialed the public security number, and told them that she had almost been indecently assaulted by a criminal...

As a public figure, if this matter were to blow up, it would be difficult to handle, so the public security immediately sent someone to take the man away and promised to penalize him severely!

Indeed, Chen Wei had already administered irreversible punishment to the man through his medical skills. In the future, even if he had the desire, he would lack the ability.

He had crippled the man!

...

"I’m going upstairs to change my clothes. Please wait for me in the hall," Shen Junlan requested.

"Alright." Chen Wei watched as Shen Junlan ascended to the second floor.

A few minutes later, Shen Junlan came down wearing a figure-hugging dress, and no matter how Chen Wei looked at it, he felt it somehow seemed more alluring and sexier than the nightgown.

Her hair was styled, and she had applied light makeup, which made her look more spirited and improved her aura. With her gold-rimmed glasses, the scholarly vibe became apparent.

Anyone unaware would hardly guess that Shen Junlan was a female novelist.

They would more likely suspect she was a highly intelligent person like a female university professor.

After descending to the first floor, Shen Junlan did not rush back to Chen Wei, but went into the kitchen to busy herself with preparing tea.

When she returned, she was carrying a tea set in her hands.

Sitting next to Chen Wei on the sofa, she poured him a cup of tea, offering it with both hands, "President Chen, please have some tea."

"Thank you." Chen Wei accepted the tea, took a sip, and set it down.

"By the way, President Chen, did you come to see me today because there’s some urgent matter? I noticed earlier that you called me many times," Shen Junlan went straight to the point.

"Yes, there is a matter, but the main reason I called so many times was that I was worried something might have happened to you," Chen Wei replied.

"Is that so? Thank you for your concern," Shen Junlan’s cheeks flushed slightly as she averted her gaze.

To alleviate the awkwardness, she picked up her teacup and took a small sip.

Chen Wei continued, "I came today mainly about the movie ’Dominating the World’."

"Oh? ’Dominating the World’? Was there a problem with the shooting?" Shen Junlan promptly inquired.

She was very concerned about the progress of the movie, not wanting a work that could elevate her to the status of a deity to end up unsuccessful.

"No," Chen Wei shook his head, "In fact, we have completed the filming and production of the entire movie."

"What! You’ve already finished shooting? That’s impossible, isn’t it? It’s only been half a month," Shen Junlan said with a forced smile.

She assumed Chen Wei must see how tense she was and wanted to make a joke to lighten her mood.

"No, I’m not joking, I’m serious," Chen Wei took out a USB drive and placed it on the glass coffee table in front of Shen Junlan.

He further explained his visit, "I came this time also to have you, the original author, take a look. If there aren’t any problems, JM Entertainment is already processing approvals and planning to promote and release the movie in the coming days."

"..." Shen Junlan looked at the USB drive and then at the expression on Chen Wei’s face, realizing he wasn’t joking with her.

Although Shen Junlan was very satisfied with the promotional trailer Chen Wei had sent her earlier, when it came to a movie that was shot in just fifteen days...

Shen Junlan really couldn’t hold any expectations.

What kind of movie can be shot in fifteen days?

In fifteen days, she couldn’t even write a book, let alone a high-quality film involving so many people, so many scenes to be recreated...

But she didn’t voice these thoughts and instead decided to watch the completed film before making any judgments.

At worst, it would be a pipe dream, as if nothing ever happened, false hope.

She picked up the USB drive, stood up, and walked towards the television.

She inserted the USB drive and used the remote control to navigate and select the file to play the video.

After setting everything up, Shen Junlan returned to her seat.

Chen Wei thoughtfully drew the curtains to prevent outside light from affecting the viewing experience.

They exchanged glances, and Shen Junlan offered a faint smile.

Her attention quickly returned to the TV screen.

To say she wasn’t curious would be a lie; she was indeed curious about how bad a movie made in fifteen days could be.

Shen Junlan didn’t deny it; she had preconceived notions.

It’s true that there have been classic works shot in an extremely short time before.

But to Shen Junlan’s knowledge, the shortest among them had still taken three months.

And Chen Wei...

Forget it, better to calm down and focus on watching the movie.

Shen Junlan had already lowered her expectations to the minimum. Or rather, she hadn’t had any to begin with.

As the saying goes, the greater the expectations, the greater the disappointment.

If I don’t have expectations, I won’t be disappointed?

However, as soon as the feature film began, Shen Junlan found herself blanking out all irrelevant thoughts and immersing herself completely in the movie.

At this moment, it was as though her world consisted only of the movie itself, everything else was nonexistent.
