Chapter 346: Chapter 346 - 340: First Row of VIP Seats, Jing...

Indeed, Mr. Jing is not only someone who can dazzle through the years but also a cinnabar mole buried in Shi Su’s heart, untouchable, unspeakable, and unmentionable.

It has been so long that no one dares to mention the name Jing Jihan in her presence. Even the four characters "Yu Jing Group" are not mentioned, and even the drivers know to avoid the Central City Road, making sure Shi Su doesn’t pass by Yu Jing Group.

But what they don’t know is that being able to see Mr. Jing so easily at Shi Su’s side in the past was because he wanted to be seen.

And now, it’s not about them making a fuss by instructing drivers to avoid Central City Road. Even if they really went there, or stopped downstairs at Yu Jing Group, they wouldn’t be able to see Jing Jihan.

Back then, countless heiresses from noble families tried every way possible to arrange an encounter with Mr. Jing or find a chance to meet him, but all efforts were in vain.

For someone at the height where Mr. Jing stands, if he doesn’t plan to appear in a person’s world, that person could pass by Yu Jing Group a billion times and still never see him in person.

Jun only hinted in her speech, not directly mentioning the three words "Jing Jihan," yet still received a cold glare from Shi Su in response.

Chujou and Jun exchanged a glance and, with tacit understanding, did not continue the topic and switched to discussing work.

"So Wei Sinan is confirmed as the male lead for ’Shadow Kill’?" Jun asked.

"Yes," Shi Su responded, making herself a cup of coffee and giving a look to Chujou, asking if she wanted some.

Chujou quickly waved her hand: "I don’t drink it. Every time I have coffee, I can’t sleep the entire night."

Shi Su withdrew her gaze, sat down next to Jun with her coffee cup.

"The script is quite good, and you have another movie set to release during the National Day slot. Although it’s just the third female lead role, if the box office is good and combined with Mr. Cai’s ’Shadow Kill,’ which is also a multi-billion production, its box office won’t be bad either. If you can establish yourself in theatrical films, then you’ll truly be soaring."

Shi Su stirred her coffee cup lightly with a spoon: "Flying too fast isn’t good; it’s still important to move steadily, lest a small slip leads to a shattering fall."

"As long as you don’t have any black marks worth exposing or any improper conduct, even with many in the circle watching you, they can’t do much harm. At most, they might occasionally release a smear article about you, but without evidence, it will all just pass by quickly."

These scandalous things depend on how they’re concocted and framed.

For instance, if Shi Su takes out a white pen to write something and gets snapped by paparazzi from a tricky angle, it could turn into Shi Su smoking in public.

If Shi Su hasn’t slept well for several nights due to rushing through scenes and is photographed by media with dark circles and no makeup, it turns into Shi Su suspected of drug use.

After selling her old house since her studio needed funds, she didn’t buy a new one but rented an apartment near Wanxing Building, with good security facilities and crucially close to her studio.

Normally, her trip to the studio is short, so she isn’t often photographed in her daily life. At home, Mrs. Qin and Jun help her by hiring a nanny to take care of Mianmian and send her to kindergarten. The child is well-protected, and if she’s occasionally photographed, Jun and Miss Chen would find ways to buy the photos, trying their best to prevent Mianmian from being overly exposed.

Miss Chen knocked and entered, handing Shi Su an embossed invitation.

"This weekend, there’s a high-end exhibition on network technology. Isn’t there a newly developed app recently preparing to have you as their endorser? Their boss wants you to show up at this exhibition, and afterward, they’ll officially announce the endorsement. Find some time to go, no need to wear a gown, as many domestic company leaders will be there too. Just dress formally."

Shi Su took the invitation and glanced at the location and time of the exhibition: "Saturday afternoon, two to five o’clock? Do I have any work during that time?"

Miss Chen nodded: "There’s an interview I postponed to next week, no rush."

Jun said: "Don’t you really like that app? You’ve asked about the endorsement contract several times. Since the company boss has personally requested you to show your face at the exhibition, it’s likely they want you to serve as their facade right from the start. Such exhibitions attract high-end elites and are far superior to typical star-studded events. Let Lin Chen accompany you."

"I have plans this weekend. You accompany her," Miss Chen said to Jun.

Jun instantly gave her a glare: "Are you in love again? Carving out time from your busy schedule just to go on a date?"

"Who’s in love? With so many cute guys in the circle, do I need to find someone outside?" Miss Chen rolled her eyes at her: "My friend’s child is having a full-moon banquet. I must show up. These exhibitions are usually very formal, with many celebrities; nothing fishy happens. Just accompany Shi Su."

"Alright then," Jun put down her coffee cup and looked at Shi Su again: "Tomorrow, accompany you to Dior to pick an outfit, choose a women’s suit looking sleek, impressing all the bigwigs at the event."

Shi Su glanced at the invitation a few more times and asked: "Do you know which companies are invited?"

"I’m not sure."

Saturday, outside the exhibition hotel, several luxury cars passed by and stopped.

The Mercedes that Shi Su was in stopped at the hotel entrance. Under the scorching summer sun, as she stepped out from the air-conditioned car into the blinding heat, Shi Su squinted her eyes slightly.

Today, she was wearing a custom-made white women’s suit, the early summer collection this year by the D Family. In today’s setting, not many celebrities were present, mainly business elites. Although not needing to wear a gown, since she appeared as the app spokesperson, while needing to keep a low profile, it still couldn’t be too low.

This women’s suit fit perfectly with her identity and the occasion today.

As she entered, Jun carried her handbag walking beside her, reminding her: "Yesterday I settled some programs with friends in the circle regarding today’s exhibition; mainly, it’s about introducing newly developed apps today. There will be many company heads from the tech field attending, equivalent to a meeting occasion for them. Just do what’s within your role, politely respond if unfamiliar people approach, and no need to maintain the on-camera selling mode."

Shi Su acknowledged, reaching the front of the red carpet before the exhibition center, greeting a few familiar partners within the crowd with a handshake. She took a champagne glass from a waiter, intending to look at the app names displayed on the large screen inside when she suddenly noticed the line at the lower corner of the screen.

Specially Invited Partner: Yu Jing Group.

Turning her gaze again, she saw the name tag on the forefront of the front-row guest seats to be attended—Jing Jihan.
