The online discussion about Shi Su has completely changed in tone. From yesterday’s curses and slanders, now no one dares to ntion her na, yet everyone is quietly discussing Shi Su’s background.
What kind of background does she really have?
Could it be that there’s so kind of powerful connection behind her... or perhaps a hint of red...
Or is it so incredibly high-status, unimaginable mysterious identity?
Jun, seeing this surprising turn of events, didn’t understand the situation either and called Shi Su.
When the call connected, Shi Su herself was still in a fog, confused about the situation. Jun asked bluntly, "What’s going on? Who did you reach out to? Such a strong intervention? I’ve been in this industry for years and never seen an artist have their negative news erased so cleanly and thoroughly, unless their background is indeed connected to so influential figures, and their identity or family is too sensitive, hence such an improbable but forceful intervention happens. Tell honestly, what exactly did you..."
Shi Su: "I..."
The word "I" was on the tip of her tongue, but she forcibly swallowed the rest of the sentence.
Suddenly, in her mind, she recalled what Chu Jiu said in the car last night—
At that ti, she was drinking and feeling tipsy. The car passed through the city center of Jiang City, seemingly stuck in traffic, and stopped near those towering and famous corporate buildings. What did Chu Jiu say back then?
"I thought the Yu Jing Group branch over in the New District was already quite grand, but I didn’t expect the headquarters to be this tall. It’s said the sixty-eighth floor offers a view so high it feels like one could sit in the clouds from the CEO’s office, right?"
"It’s a pity, the person who should be overlooking all of Jiang City from the clouds seems to have encountered an accident. I heard on the news that they haven’t found the person yet, their fate still unknown..."
!!!
!!!!!!
Shi Su suddenly fell silent on her end, the eerie quietness was sowhat mysterious.
Jun sensed sothing was amiss. "Shi Su?"
On the other side, there was still silence, but amidst the quiet, one could faintly hear Shi Su’s breathing. It didn’t seem as if sothing had happened, but the rhythm of her breathing seed to slow, carrying an indefinable tension.
Truly, the events from yesterday up to now were enough to unsettle anyone. This industry, teeming with a mix of dragons and fish, is rife with scheming and intrigue.
Either you have a strong background so no one dares to ss with you, or you live quietly without offending others to avoid getting caught in such a pitfall from behind.
Nowadays, even the slightest incidents can stir up a storm online, especially these baseless rumors; they need just a few vague hints to completely tarnish a female celebrity’s image, preventing her from ever coming back.
Even if soday the truth cos out, with evidence to clear her na, by then nobody would care anymore.
A random person hearing Shi Su’s na again would just say: Oh, that Shi Su? Wasn’t she the one who had an affair with the Best Actress’s fiancé?
Especially in situations like what Shi Su suddenly faced, with indefensible allegations overnight, leading public opinion to trample her without needing any proof.
This incident hit hard, and Shi Su drank last night; her emotions probably haven’t improved yet. Even though her negative dia online has strangely vanished completely now, Shi Su likely hasn’t adjusted yet.
It’s understandable that Shi Su can’t speak now.
Jun continued to talk a lot over the phone, besides questions, offering reassurance, advising Shi Su to thank whoever helped her properly, no matter who they were. After all, her career was almost destroyed in an instant, and this person’s tily intervention was precise and effective!
Shi Su remained silent.
Or you could say, she just held the phone there, expressionlessly.
Jun, after saying so much without a response, gradually realized sothing wasn’t right.
Shi Su has always had excellent resilience. Despite the magnitude of yesterday’s incident, she chose first to respect her work and the cast and crew, completing her night scenes before returning to the car to drink a few bottles, quietly venting, without any outbursts or breakdowns seeking Jun to console her.
Unless there was so significant matter, she wouldn’t be out of sorts for this long.
What could it be?
Jun cleared her throat and called out to her again: "Shi Su? Say sothing?"
"..."
"Shi Su?"
Shi Su seed to regain her senses after a long while, finally hurriedly saying, "Jun, I have sothing to do, I’ll talk to you later!"
With that, she hung up directly.
She didn’t turn around to look behind her, but she knew the man was standing there.
From the mont she picked up the phone until now, he had been silent. Yet, no matter how calm and still he remained, Shi Su could unmistakably feel his presence.
She glanced down at her phone again, where the Weibo page still displayed those varied voices; the scolding grew more cautious, with doubt, surprise, curiosity, exploration. The flashing red private ssages kept increasing, but her na and the rumors hadn’t reappeared on trending topics or major dia forums.
Suddenly, she turned around and looked at the man not far from the sofa.
Her gaze swept up his tall and handso figure, finally resting on his face, his calm and composed expression.
Suddenly, regrasping her phone, Shi Su did sothing she had never attempted before on Baidu.
She typed "Jing" into the search box, then added "Ji," letters she recalled seeing in the newspaper.
Without needing to input a third character, the system automatically suggested "Jing Jihan" below, with related topics like "Jing Jihan Yu Jing Group," "Yu Jing Group Executive CEO Jing Jihan," "Jing Family’s Eldest Grandson Jing Jihan," "Is Jing Jihan married," and "Does Jing Jihan have a girlfriend," among others.
Jing Jihan, the favored heir of the Jing Family’s control, settled and studied long in the United States, obtaining a Masters in Finance from Johns Hopkins University and an MBA from Harvard University by eighteen.
Before taking over the Jing Family’s enterprise, he ventured into entrepreneurship in the U.S., founding Yuevo Technology Group, a well-known Chinese company in Washington. It received an 80 million dollar investnt from a financial institution upon establishnt, reaching over 5 billion in valuation within just three years, eventually going public in the U.S. and rging with Yu Jing Group’s overseas division.
Apart from these company-related records, there wasn’t much detailed personal information about him online.
Yet the clear side-profile photo of him in the eting room from the newspaper, and the position as Yu Jing Group Board mber and Asia-Pacific Executive CEO, were unmistakably detailed.
The sa face.
The sa figure.
Ji Han.
Jing Jihan.
Shi Su: ".........!!!"
Could it be true?
Wasn’t it just her random guess at the ti?
It actually is!
True?!
Jing! Ji! Han?!
...
......
Is there anything more fantastical in this world?
