Chapter 774: Chapter 764: Looking for My Man
It was already past seven o’clock in the evening, almost eight, when Shen Yi suddenly received a message from Tang Nan, leaving her a bit stunned.
Su Qing being harassed by other women was something she had anticipated before. After all, the landlady and Tang Nan had long urged her to change her mindset, telling her that Su Qing’s status was no longer the same as before.
Previously, when Su Qing worked at her company, to put it bluntly, he was just a somewhat handsome younger guy. At first, even the landlady didn’t take him seriously, thinking that maybe she was just whimsically experiencing a sibling-like romance.
But since last year, when Su Qing took advantage of the stock market boom and used the money borrowed from her to leap into the ranks of billionaires, making several social class transitions, everything changed dramatically.
Moreover, Su Qing later collaborated with Wen Jingqi on a real estate project, and their film investment blew up at the beginning of the year, earning them a fortune. The man he is today is far from the ordinary young man he was last summer.
Many people are eager to get connected with him, so the landlady had already warned her that such a situation was bound to happen.
What’s more, this time he was dealing with people in the entertainment industry, and with Tang Nan as an insider, both Shen Yi and the landlady had an understanding of what people in the entertainment circle were like.
Though prepared, getting that sudden news still sparked an inner rage in Shen Yi because, after all, she had already met Su Qing’s parents, and she naturally felt entitled to express certain things.
"What’s going on?"
Shen Yi quickly typed a message on her phone in response.
Then, in the private room, Tang Nan similarly became an octopus, frantically replying to messages. Soon, Shen Yi grasped the general situation.
"I understand. I’ll be right there. By the way, to what extent can I go?" Shen Yi asked.
Although she already had the urge to hit someone in her mind, she knew that Tang Nan was inside, and Su Qing was the investor. If this place did not accommodate him, there were others that would. Investors with plenty of money but few demands are hard to come by, and there’s no shortage of directors looking for investment.
"I don’t mind, as long as you’re happy and able to handle it. By the way, bonus info: Zhang Hanjing is an artist under Jinming Entertainment. Although not top-tier, her abilities are decent, mid-level. Though not in the same industry as our Baihua, we are not intimidated in comparison."
Reading the message, Shen Yi immediately understood.
"Got it! See you soon!"
Tang Nan: "Oh, and remember to accumulate anger. Your state a few days ago was great. Remember to dress with some presence and bring handy tools [picture][video]."
Shen Yi: (╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻
"Tell that bitch to wash her face clean and wait for this lady, I’m on my way!"
With that, Shen Yi put down her phone, went straight to the wardrobe, and changed her clothes.
On the other side, seeing Shen Yi’s message, the corners of Tang Nan’s mouth slightly lifted as she sent over the photo of Zhang Hanjing leaning forward, almost touching Su Qing.
She even stealthily recorded a short video where Zhang Hanjing was pestering Su Qing with a toasting game, and all Su Qing could do was force a wry smile, leaning back and dodging.
She knew that Shen Yi should be galloping over like a knight on a horse by now.
"No, no, it’s fine, I’ll drink on my own!"
Su Qing picked up his own glass, trying to avoid looking at Zhang Hanjing beside him, and talked about some movie-related news with several directors.
The directors seemed to notice his disinterest. Although the conversation was somewhat awkward, they were still very willing to chat with him—after all, he was the golden sponsor.
But he couldn’t deny the attention of two women constantly chatting him up. Yes, after Zhang Hanjing, another female artist named Tao Xue also joined in.
Regarding this woman, Su Qing had no impression, probably because she wasn’t famous!
In just a short while, from work gossip to interests in astrology, the two women seemed to compete over topics to chat with him.
"Little brother, do you have any plans to invest in a new script? If there’s an opportunity, you must keep sister in mind!"
As she spoke, Zhang Hanjing poured wine for him, taking the chance to touch his thigh under the table while blowing air at his ear.
By then, Su Qing was already feeling dizzy. His alcohol tolerance was not great. Though he had only been drinking beer, he had consumed several bottles already. This woman’s persuasion skills in drinking were quite remarkable, making it hard not to drink.
"Indeed, President Su, if you consider investing, as long as you express interest, won’t we have good scripts waiting right here for you?" Liu Yinian laughed loudly.
He was struggling to find a way to build a connection with Su Qing. Although he didn’t have many good scripts on hand, there were plenty of average ones, and being a known director, many scripts landed on his table.
Upon hearing this, all the other directors, except Wang Fan and Director Deng, actively spoke up.
Both Wang Fan and Tang Nan were in full support of this, as getting together served that very purpose, didn’t it?
More friends, more pathways; there might be opportunities for collaboration in the future.
"Soon, there’s an investment project of mine coming out around May Day, and by June, Director Deng’s film should be ready. I must see the results and recover some funds before discussing the next batch!" Su Qing chuckled.
He intentionally steered the conversation away, but Zhang Hanjing seemed unwilling to let go.
"Brother, what about me? Don’t forget to think of me when the time comes. Come, let’s have a drink!" she insisted, holding his glass close to his mouth.
At that moment, a prompt suddenly flashed in Su Qing’s mind.
[Shen Yi is thirty seconds away from the scene. Please quickly display expressions of unwillingness, refusal, rejection, or anger, otherwise, you will be caught in the crossfire!]
Hearing this, Su Qing was startled but immediately realized something. The next instant, he glanced in Tang Nan’s direction, seeing her still typing rapidly on her phone.
Got it, the suspect was clear. Who else but her? Although he also thought Shen Yi’s arrival was a good thing, shouldn’t she have notified him first?
"Ms. Zhang, this matter is uncertain now. Let’s see how it goes. I never interfere with the director’s casting decisions. Also, could you move back a bit?" Su Qing, who was already showing some reluctance, immediately turned somewhat aloof, with his tone heavier than before.
Seeing the atmosphere taking a turn, the host, Director Deng, quickly chuckled and spoke up, "Xiao Zhang, look at yourself! You’ve startled President Su. Squeeze him again, and he’ll end up sitting with old Liu, haha!"
"Oh, that won’t do. How can President Su, as a young man, sit next to an old guy like me? Xiao Zhang, pull him back over!"
"Okay, I’ll do it right now!" Zhang Hanjing said as she reached out, and Su Qing immediately dodged, sternly saying, "Director Deng, Director Liu, I find this somewhat inappropriate!"
The sudden change in tone surprised everyone.
"What happened, President Su? Is there something unsatisfactory?"
"Exactly, I..."
Before anyone else could finish, the door to the private room swung open, revealing a tall, strikingly beautiful woman standing in the doorway.
In a loose-fit business ensemble with glasses, she radiated a powerful aura. Who else but Shen Yi?
Shen Yi immediately saw Su Qing, already standing with a displeased and refusing expression. Frankly, she was very pleased and paid no attention to the woman next to him.
At this moment, Su Qing felt immensely grateful for this narrator, making him a ’Master of Survival.’
"Hello... may I ask who you are looking for?" Director Deng couldn’t help but ask.
Shen Yi gave him a casual glance and said:
"I’m looking for my man!"
