Chapter 356: Chapter 356 - 350: But Mr. Jing Actually Came

Miss Chen has been in this circle for many years, knowing quite a few investors. Those investors also mingle with high society circles, and although the news of Shi Su and Jing Jihan being together initially didn’t spread, there were indeed some ambiguous rumors circulating in certain small circles.

It’s not surprising that Miss Chen has heard some insider news. After all, Shi Su is her artist, and when she took over Shi Su, she learned some things that were necessary to know, which is understandable.

"However..." Miss Chen looked at Shi Su again: "It seems like the rumors are indeed unreliable. It seems Mr. Jing and you really aren’t familiar with each other."

Shi Su’s expression remained unchanged as she turned back to the mirror to continue brushing her hair, casually replying: "Indeed, we’re not familiar."

...

The hotel resolved the matter quickly this time, within less than twenty minutes, the hotel manager gave a direct answer.

As Miss Chen predicted, the one who harassed Shi Su last night and this morning was indeed a stalker fan. Previously, they had followed Shi Su’s car in other cities, and even checked Shi Su’s address in Jiang City. Although they were indeed Shi Su’s fan, their stalking was excessive, becoming a very malicious stalker fan. They had both money and time, and happened to be high school classmates with two staff at the hotel’s front desk, using this familiarity along with slipping them a bribe, they were allowed to switch into hotel staff uniform last night until this morning to find an opportunity to knock on Shi Su’s room door.

The hotel manager had retrieved corridor surveillance records from last night to this morning, thoroughly investigated every aspect, and brought over two luxury stay packages given annually only to presidential suites to personally apologize.

The stay package included five free stays in presidential suites, plus an additional five stays at one-tenth the rate, when calculated cash-wise, the price would certainly exceed 80,000.

Additionally, they gave an exclusive platinum card, promising that when Shi Su and her staff visit this hotel in the capital again, regardless of which floor or room they stay in, they will receive VIP services exclusive to presidential suites, valid for three years.

Even before coming to the room to personally apologize, they had already called someone to prepare lunch from a Michelin-starred restaurant to be delivered, allowing them to enjoy it before going to the airport.

The sincerity in the apology was full, the attitude towards compensation was also commendable, not dismissive at all.

This finally satisfied Miss Chen, and she no longer pursued the matter.

Shi Su had no opinion either, initially after learning that the hotel was backed by investments from Yu Jing Group, she thought about not staying here again when visiting the capital in the future. But after receiving so many sincere gifts, it seems she has to come stay here often instead. Such an expensive presidential suite, especially in a place like the capital, where one day staying costs over ten thousand, having so many free stay opportunities, it would indeed be too wasteful not to come.

Anyway, certain so-called higher-ups don’t frequently come for inspections, not meeting face-to-face in the future wouldn’t matter, and there’s no need for deliberate avoidance.

Shi Su thought that after getting those goodies in the capital, she might not meet Jing Jihan again. That was what she thought.

Yet she returned to Jiang City, and within just ten days, she met that high and mighty man again.

Seeing the company name appear on the list of major investors for "Shadow Kill", Shi Su asked Jun with a puzzled expression: "Didn’t Jiang Jing Ru Hua already change leadership last year? Why is Jiang Jing Ru Hua an investor?"

"How would I know, Mr. Jing long ago became hands-off, threw the company to the deputy under him, but the name still hangs there, it’s not a true leadership change." Jun glanced at the internal list: "Oh, no wonder you ask, Jiang Jing Ru Hua is investing so much? Five hundred million? Then they’re the main investor for ’Shadow Kill’. From start to release, even Mr. Cai has to call them ’Daddy’."

If it were just Jiang Jing Ru Hua, it would be fine.

But on the day before "Shadow Kill" began shooting, all crew members gathered to do a script read in Jiang City in the afternoon, and that night a pre-launch party was held, many investors came to congratulate.

As Shi Su got out of the car at the hotel hosting the pre-launch party, she unexpectedly saw that new Bentley.

Entirely black, the car body with understated, sleek lines.

And it already hung a new license plate.

Just like the one she saw on the road a while ago.

Seeing Shi Su’s gaze suddenly shift to the direction of the black Bentley after getting off the car, the driver who was just preparing to light a cigarette suddenly said: "That Bentley really looks nice, it seems there’s only one like that in Jiang City. It’s a limited edition new model, comparable to classic models, with better performance. But even with money, it’s not necessarily available to order. At least one must be a VIP member at the British Kru Headquarters to have a chance. Those luxury cars running all over the streets, even worth billions, don’t compare to this one. This is a sign of status, understated yet tasteful, there are only a few domestically..."

Before the driver finished talking, while lighting a cigarette, Shi Su saw Lu Zhao coming down from the driver’s seat of that car.

Shi Su immediately withdrew her gaze and headed straight for the hotel’s main entrance.

Jun entered from outside and saw Shi Su was already inside the pre-launch party, sitting at the table with several key seats, chatting casually. She scooted over to sit beside her whispering: "I think I just saw Mr. Jing, he rarely participates in activities related to the entertainment industry, why is it that tonight neither the deputy of Jiang Jing Ru Hua nor Mr. Jing himself came, yet Mr. Jing did show up, isn’t Jiang Jing Ru Hua just a subsidiary of Yu Jing? Mr. Cai has such a big draw? He can invite Mr. Jing?"

Shi Su responded to Jun with only a glance showing she neither knew nor understood—unaware, unfamiliar.

Wei Sinan, the male lead of the film, had long arrived and was at another table laughing and chatting with friends from the industry. Seeing Shi Su was here and sitting at the lead roles’ table, he politely ended his conversation and rose to head over.

"Oh, I didn’t take the male lead’s seat?" Jun saw Wei Sinan approach, quickly joked and stood up, yielding the seat she had occupied.

"You sit, I’m just here to say hello." Wei Sinan smiled, gesturing for Jun to sit back down: "Such a big table, plenty of room to sit. Being close to Shi Su allows you to shield her from the drinks."

"Quite a few media outlets are here tonight to shoot; sitting here just doesn’t look right. Your name is written here." Jun didn’t sit back down, gesturing at him to take his seat.

Wei Sinan didn’t refuse further and sat down next to Shi Su, glancing to see her snapping pictures of the flowers on the table, seemingly indifferent to the lively scene around her, focused more on sharing on social media.

He smiled as he lightly tapped her shoulder and leaned in close to say in her ear: "Miss Shi Su, this is our second collaboration, give me a little face for the sake of the launch party, don’t be so distant. Occasionally endear the CP fans, let’s consider it as benefiting the masses."
