After thinking for a moment, he quickly left. Then he jogged to the store, looking for some disguise items.

Thank goodness for winter! The store not only had hats but also scarves for sale.

Li Yan wasn’t worried about looking pretentious, buying a hat and putting it on, wrapping a scarf around himself, and adding a pair of large sunglasses. Unless someone was very familiar, even colleagues he hadn’t spoken to wouldn’t recognize him.

If he wore a long trench coat and lit a cigar, wouldn’t he be even more stylish? Looking at his reflection in the mirror, Li Yan secretly chuckled.

But now wasn’t the time to play; he quickly dialed Yurong’s number.

Seeing Li Yan’s call, Yurong felt a bit nervous, yet it was like encountering a savior. She hurriedly apologized and moved a few steps away to take the call. "Where are you?"

Hearing her lowered voice, Li Yan chuckled softly, "Don’t worry, honey, I’ve seen what’s happening. I’ll be there soon to help you out!"

"Alright."

"You don’t need to speak, just listen to me. I’ll walk over from the front, and when you see me, tell them your friend is here and walk over. We’ll leave together shortly after."

"Okay! But..." Yurong felt a bit nervous. If not many had recognized Li Yan in the past, after his promotion to Heavenly Film’s manager, he’d gained some notoriety. The PR department women were shrewd, especially at the height of gossip; wouldn’t they recognize him?

"Don’t worry, I’ve made some changes and a bit of disguise. If you see me smoking a cigarette, you’ll be able to recognize me. They’re not familiar with me, they won’t notice." Li Yan checked the time and whispered, "Get ready, I’m coming over!"

"Okay."

After the call ended, Yurong casually said, "My friend is coming over, chat among yourselves!"

"No problem, Miss Zhang, you’re busy!" The men secretly regretted, while the PR ladies quickly said it was okay. Though they wanted to use this opportunity to get closer to the boss, they knew Yurong wouldn’t go to the movies alone; she’d have friends, maybe a male friend. Pestering her would only annoy her.

Yet curiosity stirred inside them. Everyone knew the CEO was a workaholic, unparalleled in her profession but emotionally... her ice-cold demeanor was unapproachable! What kind of man could win the CEO’s favor? 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

Yurong looked over, her heart nervous, unsure if Li Yan’s disguise could escape the PR women’s scrutiny. If recognized, their spreading would make it an open secret!

Facing her employees always made them nervous, but today Yurong herself was uneasy.

At this moment, a figure appeared in front. Black sunglasses, a white scarf, and a quirky hat with a cigarette in mouth, looking like a movie mob boss.

Li Yan’s appearance was as eye-catching as Yurong, attracting many onlookers. Some thought he was cool, some thought exaggerated like acting, some thought flamboyant. Still, worried he might be a real mob boss, they only dared to watch from afar without discussing him openly.

Yurong, upon seeing his entrance, felt inexplicably moved. She immediately recognized him as Li Yan, yet he seemed different today, exuding a compelling, cold allure. Not just cool outside, but a deep-seated chilliness that intrigued her.

In her eyes, Li Yan appeared like a hero in a John Woo film, walking slowly, ready to pull out dual guns, approaching her direction. She took a breath, preparing to follow his advice, stepping forward to meet him, avoiding closer scrutiny from colleagues.

The PR women were also drawn to the exaggerated man. As they found it amusing, they noticed the CEO heading in his direction; they were shocked. Was this Yurong’s boyfriend? Was the CEO’s boyfriend an actor? A boss? Or a cosplay wannabe?

As they widened their eyes, as Yurong stepped forward, a girl ahead of Li Yan ran excitedly, grabbing Yurong’s hand, smiling, saying, "Yurong, sorry to keep you waiting. Let’s go!"

Yurong was very surprised. Do I know this girl? Absolutely no recollection!

But being smart, she heard the girl call her name, saying she’d waited and let’s go, she immediately understood. Li Yan’s flamboyant entrance was to attract their attention, allowing this temporarily unknown girl to take her away. Since it was a temporary act, with the girl being vulnerable to exposure, Li Yan needed a distraction. Once realized, Yurong didn’t hesitate, saying "Alright," and followed the girl inside.
