Mainland China
“Thank you,” Chen Shi’s beautiful smile instantly made the attendant blush.
“You are very much welcome,” the attendant gave her a bashful smile before bowing. In front of a person like Chen Shi, the young attendant was not able to stop herself from being so happy her smile reached her ears.
While this was her first time seeing Chen Shi in person, she already heard stories about this legend. She is kind and smart, talented, and virtuous. True, she had been divorced but her previous husbands still have an excellent relationship with her. Isn’t that proof enough that Chen Shi is a very kind soul?
The attendant instantly made a mental note to ask for Chen Shi’s autograph once she leaves the restaurant. For now, what she needed to do is snap some secret photos of Chen Shi as proof that she had served this goddess in this restaurant.
The attendant was all giddy as she left the private room that Chen Shi’s booked in advance. Next time that she will come inside, she will hide her phone and take some photos of Chen Shi. Isn’t this exciting?
Meanwhile, a sneer instantly escaped Chen Shi’s lips as she watched the back of the attendant. She shifted her gaze to the big private room that she booked for this meeting. The beautiful chandelier caught her attention. She nodded in approval.
This is one of the most private restaurants in the City. It is only right that everything about this place is elegant. From the wine-colored carpet to its soundproof walls, this restaurant screams luxury and… money.
“He is already on his way. He said… he is trying to make sure that no one is following him around.” Chen Luan’s low voice echoed, interrupting Chen Shi’s thoughts. In response, the latter only nodded. Her gaze straight towards the tea set that was sitting at the center of the circular table.
The past few days were stressful to Chen Shi. She had been busy to the point of not sleeping while her husband was busy sleeping with a model turned actress white lotus. She hated it.
She hated how her husband easily paid those paparazzi for the photos they took of him and his ‘girlfriend’. Chen Shi was actually expecting that at least some of the photos will leak online, prompting a good scandal that will help her with the divorce. Contrary to her expectations, nothing turned up online.
She then discovered that he was actually spending a ton of money to pay people to keep those photos. How hateful! Chen Shi could not stand the fact that without those photos she could not force Tony Zhang to give her a suitable amount of money!
The only thing more hateful than this is she could not do anything as her husband always have people following her around. If she releases those photos herself, she was sure that the man would use this against her. Chen Shi gritted her teeth. She vowed not to let that hateful man get away with this!
Her chest raised as she narrowed her eyes at the tea set. She could feel anger boil inside her like a lava threatening to melt her insides. The problems that she had been experiencing lately is also another thing that is giving her stress.
Her singers and artists had been harassed both in their homes and on the taping sites! All the security that she assigned was useless as these attacks seemed to be very calculated with the exact timing and strategies to avoid the security! It was obvious that someone is trying to ruin her.
This is not only costing her money. It is also making the investors ask questions about the delays and problems in the taping. It is ruining Chen Shi’s credibility.
Now, Chen Shi could not afford to ruin her name from these people. After all, she was using this opportunity that she is more capable than her husband. This would have gained the sympathy of those investors and would make them chose her over Tony Zhang when the time comes.
She had been working so hard to make them see that she deserves the CEO position. And this— All these things happening around her is not making her look good at all! She let out a sharp sigh, irritation flashing in her eyes.
She eyed the door as she wondered about the call that she received last night. The man claimed that he knew what is happening to Chen Shi and who is behind all these. At first, Chen Shi finds it hard to believe him. However, when he mentioned all the minor incidents that she hid from the media, she immediately scheduled to meet him.
Surely someone capable of knowing all those incidents in the set and some personal stuff that happened to her singers is pretty influential. Moreover, she was actually hoping that the man really knows what he is talking about.
“Are you sure he said he is coming? He is three minutes late.” She hissed at Chen Luan.
“Yes, I think he should be…”
Chen Luan’s words were interrupted when the door of the room was flung open. Then a man in his twenties walked inside, followed by another man who looked a little familiar to Chen Shi.
“You are late.” She stated. Chen Shi did not bother to hide the displeasure in her tone. She also did not bother to smile, or even asked for their name. Judging from the capability of these people, it is safe to say that they already knew about her true colors.
The man only lifted an eyebrow as he opened the button of his suit and sat opposite to Chen Shi. “So… you won’t even ask for my name?” he gave her a smug smile. He then rested her elbows on the mahogany table. His fingers started drumming a tune that she was not very familiar with. “I am about to help you and yet… you are showing such… animosity towards me. Isn’t that… a bit rude?
