Chapter 299: Chapter 299 - 295: Ji Han’s Office

The car stopped outside Kaixing Mansion, and Shi Su unbuckled her seatbelt and said, "Thanks."

With that, she directly pushed open the car door and got out, seemingly oblivious to Cherry Yang’s earlier mockery and warnings.

"Hey, you..." Watching Shi Su get out of the car and leave without looking back, Cherry Yang in the car discontentedly glanced at her.

But now, Shi Su was extremely popular, with various advertisers and producers actively approaching her. They all came specifically for Shi Su herself. At times like this, Shi Su was indeed somewhat untouchable. If she wasn’t easily manipulated, how would they manage her in the future?

Currently, Shi Su was the artist with the most resources in the company. Not to mention her being just a manager, even the company president couldn’t offend Shi Su now. Although there’s a management contract in place, if Shi Su was uncooperative, it would be difficult to secure those advertisements and resources.

The two artists under Cherry Yang hadn’t made any progress in the past two years, so she needed to make them succeed to solidify her reputation and status in the industry. But resources she couldn’t obtain were continuously offered to Shi Su. If she didn’t find a way to scrape off a little advantage from this gold mine, wasn’t the position of Shi Su’s manager wasted?

Cherry Yang in the car looked unhappily in the direction Shi Su had walked away from. She initially wanted to follow in and see which rich young master was acknowledged so openly as Shi Su’s boyfriend, but the security and access control here were too strict, making it impossible to follow her in.

After Shi Su entered Kaixing Mansion, she received a call from Wen Ke while waiting for the elevator.

"The pregnancy check records you left in the United States aren’t that easy to retrieve. All the related documents from the day Mianmian was born have been erased. As for Andes Hospital, I had someone investigate, and they found that the employee responsible for managing years-old medical records lost many documents due to a computer virus not long ago. After several attempts, they fully restored all documents from the past ten years, including those ’mis-deleted’ or ’intentionally deleted.’ This gave Shi Yunyin a loophole. However, when you checked at that hospital, you were only three months pregnant at the time. Those records will only raise her suspicion. She won’t be able to confirm whether you’ve just been pregnant or have actually given birth."

Shi Su asked, "Has Shi Yunyin been investigating all this for a while now?"

Wen Ke said, "I don’t know when she started suspecting you have a child with you. Maybe she heard something when she initially had people going around the kindergarten. But without evidence, she could only investigate the trajectory of your life in the United States over the past few years. If it weren’t for the Andes Hospital incident, it would be really hard for her to find these things."

"She has no evidence but is already suspicious. Currently, problems have occurred both inside and outside the Shi Family. She can’t go home and temporarily has no job. In such idle yet hateful circumstances, she’s likely to do something irrational." The elevator reached the first floor. Shi Su kept talking on the phone as she walked into the elevator.

Wen Ke said, "Don’t worry. Mr. Jing has already intervened in this matter. Currently, all the people around Shi Yunyin, including the hotel internal network where she stayed, and other aspects of checkpoints are tightly controlled. It’s not easy for her to either source information or post anything online."

Jing Jihan said that everything was under his control.

He said, "These are no longer things you need to worry about. Leave them to me; I’ll handle them."

Watching the numbers on the elevator climb floor by floor, Shi Su’s heart became increasingly calm and assured.

Beside this man, she always felt empowered to forge ahead. All the obstacles she once had to consider leveling on her own suddenly seemed to be cleared by him. Because of his presence, all the bumps in her path transformed into a broad road, never tripping over unexpected stones again.

Three days later, Shi Su was suddenly arranged by the crew to go to H City for shooting. "Honey Ferris Wheel" was scheduled to film at one of the city’s buildings as the setting for a company scene, with the expected shooting time being three days. The team hoped to finish filming before January 1st and return to Jiang City.

At 4:30 pm, the door of the Yu Jing Group’s president’s office opened, and Shi Mianmian was brought into the office by Lu Zhao.

Jing Jihan had just returned from a meeting and was going through the project proposals submitted by some department. His gaze shifted to the office door, first noticing Shi Mianmian who was curious and excitedly staring at him with big eyes, then looking at Lu Zhao, who was worn out by Shi Mianmian’s endless questions.

"Mr. Jing, if you’re still busy, should I take Mianmian somewhere else? There should be a children’s play palace in that mall on Central City Road." Lu Zhao’s hand was just now tightly held by Shi Mianmian, but now the little girl had loosened her grip, focusing all her attention on Uncle Ji Han behind the desk.

But the place was too big, and the surroundings unfamiliar. Though excited, Mianmian didn’t dare to speak loudly and just kept her big eyes fixed on Jing Jihan, wanting to rush over but not daring to.

"No need." Jing Jihan put down his work and walked over.

Mianmian then looked up at the approaching man and softly called, "Uncle Ji Han!"

Jing Jihan took the little girl’s hand, simultaneously using his gaze to signal Lu Zhao he could leave.

Lu Zhao, relieved, nodded quickly and left the office.

Yesterday, the nanny from the Shi Family had accidentally slipped in the snow and sprained her foot, making her unable to pick up Mianmian or take care of her for the next few days. Meanwhile, Shi Su was called to H City by the crew on short notice.

Originally, Shi Su planned to ask her friend Wen Ke to help take care of the child for a few days, but when Mr. Jing got wind of the situation, he directly arranged for someone to pick up the child from the kindergarten on time and even had Mianmian brought back to the office.

This was too difficult for him!

Lu Zhao thought he’d seen all sorts of storms over the years, following Mr. Jing from overseas to within the country, what hasn’t he experienced?

Thinking back to his time in the United States, when he was involved with Mr. Jing in a financial pursuit case, he’d manage to get through a hail of bullets brought by criminals, yet today he worried for a long time over a little girl of four or five.

The countless eyes of the Yu Jing Group, though nearby, prompted Lu Zhao to choose to drive to the kindergarten to pick up Shi Mianmian, then drive to the company’s underground parking near the elevator, escorting Mianmian as if she was a rare treasure all the way into the elevator to the president’s office on the sixty-eighth floor, all to avoid countless pairs of eyes.

Moments ago, Mianmian clinging to his hand had been chattering, saying: "Mr. Lu, our kindergarten teacher secretly praised how handsome you are," "Mr. Lu, you’re so tall," "Mr. Lu, do you like chocolate," "Mr. Lu, can you smile," "Mr. Lu, do you think Mommy’s braids on me this morning are pretty," "Mr. Lu, where are we going to find Uncle Ji Han?"...

The little girl was so lively, bouncing after him all the way. If any colleagues in the company saw them, they might suspect he’d fathered a daughter outside...

This little ancestor was now Mr. Jing’s treasured darling, and even given ten guts, he’d dare not let such misunderstandings arise.
