Jing Jihan walked out of the hotel elevator, Zhou He following behind him.
Back then, Enke Group from Jiang City tead up with several private enterprises to secure the developnt rights for the Z City tourism project. They established a developnt and construction company here, holding 51% of the shares, while the other 49% were held by Jiang City’s Construction Bureau, but the shares were controlled by Enke Group, leaving the Construction Bureau overshadowed.
However, due to internal mismanagent within Enke Group, corporate culture collapsed, and the company was on the brink of bankruptcy. With power shifting internally, the new person in charge felt that the Z City developnt project was too ti-consuming and beyond his budget. Fearful of the high risk associated with this investnt, he preferred to incur losses and relinquished the shares, withdrawing from the competition in Z City’s developnt.
Jiang City’s Construction Bureau didn’t want profitable opportunities to flow outside, and Yu Jing Group was their strongest financial backing. Furthermore, the developnt of Jiang City New District was personally undertaken by Yu Jing Group, so Z City’s developnt naturally insisted on cooperating with Yu Jing Group.
Jing Jihan had little interest in this project, but the old directors still in position back then were very interested. They independently made the decision to sign agreents with the Construction Bureau, winning the sovereignty of the Z City developnt project.
Jing Jihan had never personally intervened in this project, but this ti city leaders were to visit Z City for a tour. He was invited, initially didn’t plan to co, but ultimately appeared in Z City.
Zhou He had been following Jing Jihan to discuss the situation here ever since they got out of the car, also speaking about the itinerary arrangents after the Z City visit.
After the elevator doors opened, Zhou He followed behind Jing Jihan, saying, "Junkai Hotel is the largest five-star hotel in Z City. Currently, other city leaders are also staying here, but after all, it’s a newly developed tourist city. The old board mbers initially had limited funds, so hotel developnt wasn’t that lavish. This hotel doesn’t have presidential suites; several suites on the eighth floor are very standard high-level business rooms. If you’re uncomfortable here, we can consider changing to another hotel tomorrow."
They approached the door of the reserved room, and Zhou He respectfully handed over the room card.
Jing Jihan took the room card, suddenly hearing a loud noise from the opposite room’s door. A man ca out, muttering curses in a low voice, seeming very upset. Words like "bitch," "acting high and mighty," "damn, vicious," "damn it" were mostly heard...
Zhou He instinctively stepped forward to shield Mr. Jing from the coarse man approaching.
Peng Ming only noticed that there were people in front of the opposite room’s door but didn’t pay much attention. He just picked up his phone to send a voice ssage to soone: "Shi Su, this woman is quite difficult. You should send soone else; I can’t handle her!"
"I’ve tried my best, even got into the room, but she seed unafraid, very guarded. Initially, she wouldn’t even let close the door!"
"Help say so good words to Mr. Jin. It’s really not my fault; Shi Su simply doesn’t fall for this. I didn’t even have ti to take photos for evidence before being kicked out..."
"I’ll explain to Miss Tong later, but with Shi Su, I have no starting point!"
Peng Ming had already walked away, and while lowering his phone, he instinctively pressed his leg, muttering, "Damn it, kicked the hell out of ."
Peng Ming wasn’t among the main cast, and he wasn’t staying on this floor; the hallway quieted down after he got into the elevator.
Zhou He was shocked, too stunned to speak, but his heart was filled with imnse shock.
Shi Su?
Which Shi Su?
Was it the Shi Su he had seen at the company and Kaixing Mansion before?
Exactly... that Shi Su?
Jing Jihan, expressionless, put the room card back in his palm, turning slightly: "You should go back and rest."
Zhou He, still bewildered, glanced at the opposite room’s door, then t Jing Jihan’s gaze, feeling a chill down his spine at once. He quickly said, "Alright, Mr. Jing. I’m just staying downstairs; feel free to contact if you need anything."
"Mm."
Zhou He hurried to make his exit, not daring to linger for a mont, lest he see things he shouldn’t see, hear things he shouldn’t hear.
...
Shi Su felt the air inside the room affected by Peng Ming just now, even though it was cold outside tonight, she still opened the window. A gust of cold wind rushed in, making her shiver. She turned and saw the small cake Peng Ming had brought still sitting on the table.
Suppressing her nausea, she walked over, picked up the cake, and was about to throw it in the trash when she suddenly heard the doorbell.
Again?
Alright, coming back just in ti!
Shi Su grabbed the cake, walked quickly to the door, opened it without even looking at the person outside, and threw the cake with its packaging at him: "Take your cake and get lost!"
As she finished, she was about to close the door, but suddenly her spine stiffened, her gaze froze, and her movents halted sharply. She turned her eyes to fall back on the man standing outside the door.
Jing Jihan swiftly caught the thing she threw out, wasn’t knocked down, but the cake was thrown with so much force that as it landed on his hand, so cream inevitably splattered, so even flowed onto his fingers; although he didn’t look disheveled, he clearly wasn’t enjoying it.
Shi Su: "..."
?
? !
!!!
Who is this?
Jing Jihan?
When did he co?
Why is he here?
How long has he been here?
Just now, Shi Su was so angry and nauseous that her hair stood on end, and with the window open in the room, the cold wind blew in, making her suddenly shiver while standing at the door.
The man outside wore a suit, with calm and deep eyes. Despite almost being splattered with cream, at this mont, he stood straight and severe at her door, like pine in a snowy night, silent and cold, impossible to ignore.
Shi Su’s lips trembled, and it took a long ti before she found her voice: "You, you, you..."
This isn’t Jiang City; it’s Z City. How could Jing Jihan be here?
She hadn’t even asked when Jing Jihan had already thrown the ruined cake into the garbage bin by the door, coolly glancing at her: "Do you have tissues?"
Shi Su quickly opened the door wider, then rapidly returned to the room to close the open window, turned to find various wipes and tissues to offer to him: "These are all available, you can use them to wipe, or wash if needed!"
Jing Jihan wasn’t too particular; after taking a wipe to clean the cream from his hand, he glanced at her again. Seeing her wrapped in a towel, wearing a bathrobe with a coat over it, he scrutinized her but didn’t comnt on her peculiar appearance, instead heading into her room and tossing the used wipe in the trash by the sofa.
Shi Su still found encountering Jing Jihan in such a place unbelievable.
Unable to hold back, she asked, "Why are you in Z City?"
A few days ago, while she was in Jiang City, she ran into Lu Zhao near Kaixing Mansion. Lu Zhao ntioned that Mr. Jing was busy abroad recently. She didn’t ask much about what he was busy with, as indeed, Jing Jihan’s family business was far beyond what she could care about.
Jing Jihan casually dusted his sleeve, glancing at her: "Here to rescue."
