Jun walked beside Shi Su, and naturally, what Shi Su saw, Jun also noticed.
At the mont she glimpsed Jing Jihan’s na tag, Jun instinctively wanted to ask if Mr. Jing was really coming today? But after glancing at Shi Su, who showed no emotion, she swallowed her words, lest she upset this big shot.
For more than a year, Shi Su truly never ntioned Jing Jihan’s na.
But who didn’t know that she locked herself in that old house’s room, whether it was to cry or to feel upset, she gave no one, except for little Mianmian, a chance to see it. A week later, Shi Su threw herself entirely into work. Later, she even sold that house and invested the money into her studio.
In these twenty months, Shi Su’s diligence and seriousness in work haven’t diminished at all since those days, but when it ca to any rumors and relationship issues, she wouldn’t allow even the slightest noise. Even with the fan-made "couples" between fans and passersby, she paid no attention. Although she appeared to be a glamorous first-line actress, in so situations, she lived like a recluse nun.
She had earned a considerable amount of money, but to this day, Shi Su still rents an apartnt. Mianmian will go to elentary school in a year, and looking at Shi Su’s current state, it’s unclear where she plans to finally settle. School district houses in Jiang City are not cheap, but given Shi Su’s current condition, Jun even suspects she might just take her child back to the United States once she has saved enough money.
"You recently suggested signing two more artists for the studio, do you plan to switch to working behind the scenes as a boss after a few more dramas?" Jun asked.
Shi Su took a sip of champagne from her tall glass, then checked the rim. Seeing no lipstick stains on the glass, she was very satisfied with today’s makeup artist.
She lightly curled her lips, "Good flowers never stay red, that’s the norm in showbiz. Even the most popular stars should return to a low profile after two or three years. While I can still ntor newcors, isn’t signing two artists a good idea?"
The styles of the scripts Shi Su took on now are all very traditional, clearly having long started to shift the "traffic star" label from her, focusing on being an actress, which was always her original intention.
"Let’s talk about it next year. Right now, the studio’s resources are stable, and Lin Chen can still manage you. If you bring in two more artists, she’ll have to divide her attention to managing others as well." As Jun spoke, she turned to look at the people coming and going in the exhibition hall, lowering her voice beside Shi Su again, "Do you see the man in the charcoal gray suit?"
Shi Su looked in that direction, "I see him."
"That’s Mr. Han from Xinjie Group, just back from Malaysia. This company’s dostic business is in cleaning, skincare, and paper products. You must have heard of them. Currently, Xinjie Group’s revenue has surpassed Baoqing Group’s. They also have a stable online sales app, and their dostic sales remain high. They are now a leading figure in this industry."
Upon hearing this, Shi Su glanced again, "I saw the endorsent contract from Xinjie Group a few days ago."
"Yes, their previous spokesperson’s contract will expire in two months, and they’re considering having you take over. However, because of your past cooperation with Baoqing Group, Mr. Han has so reservations about you. Although the endorsent fee isn’t exactly low, it lacks sincerity. We haven’t signed the contract yet. If you want to strive for a more pleasant cooperation, you can take the opportunity to talk to him today."
"? Go and talk?"
Jun gave her a look, "Isn’t that obvious? Of course, it’s you. What’s the difference if I go talk or if Lin Chen does? You’re the boss and the artist; the money you earn goes into your own pocket. When you can have a higher endorsent fee, aren’t you going to fight for it?"
Shi Su gently swirled the champagne in her glass and glanced again in Mr. Han’s direction, preparing to go over. Suddenly, Jun tugged her sharply.
Shi Su: "?"
She turned to Jun, puzzled, and whispered, "What?"
With an enigmatic look, Jun glanced toward the crowd in front of them.
Seeing Jun’s suddenly astonished expression, Shi Su turned to look over in that direction.
Amidst the crowd, Zhou He, whom she hadn’t seen in a long ti, had just entered the exhibition hall, politely conversing with several eager executives gathered around him.
Beside Zhou He stood a tall, handso man in a black suit with a cold, sharp aura, appearing at the end of the red carpet. The event hosts had already approached him, smiling and shaking hands.
Present were the elite of Jiang City, including many influential people in the business circle. In this kind of setting, most n wore similar suits, but that man wore the attire with a distinctive flair, making people easily spot him in the crowd.
There were too many people here. Hearing about Mr. Jing’s appearance, it was evident from the crowd’s movent that they were converging toward the exhibition hall entrance.
Only Shi Su stood still with her champagne glass, casting a gaze that lingered on the man for a fraction of a second, before shifting away, sipping her drink again, saying, "Mr. Han went over there. He probably doesn’t have ti to talk to now, we can set up a eting later."
Jun glanced at her, lowered her voice, "Aren’t you going over to say hello?"
"Who? Mr. Han?" Shi Su finished the champagne in her glass, her tone still very indifferent.
Jun was well aware of her evasive question, realizing her intent, and at last, she didn’t press on whether she ant to greet Mr. Han or Mr. Jing.
On the surface, Shi Su seed easy to get along with, but fundantally, she was stubborn. If she insisted sothing was wrong or inappropriate, not even a herd of cattle could move her.
A waiter passed by, and Shi Su casually placed the empty glass on the tray in the waiter’s hand and then picked up another glass.
"You haven’t really improved your drinking tolerance over the past two years, and the champagne at these exhibitions is premium quality. It’s leagues above the usual event drinks, with a stronger kick. You should drink less," Jun advised quietly, staying close to Shi Su, not leaving an inch, watching as she picked up the tall glass again.
"This is just the second one, and since it’s good stuff, of course, I should drink more," Shi Su gently swirled the liquid in her glass, watching the light-colored liquid sway through the glass, "My capacity for this type of champagne is about a dozen glasses, I know my limit."
"You usually know your limit, but who knows if you’ll keep it today," Jun said, again casting a glance in that distant direction.
The man, always carrying an aura of light, had not walked inwards. Several executives engaged in conversation with him wore courteous and thorough smiles on their faces.
