Chapter 385: Chapter 385 We Are Just Friends
Miss Su was sowhat surprised to learn that Jiang Li was going to appear on “Wilderness Survival 30 Days.”
A while ago, Jin Siyue said he would give her a surprise.
Could it be this?
At that thought, Miss Su felt her mood finally brighten sowhat.
Even though this show wasn’t part of the main storyline of her tasks, the fact that Jiang Li had accepted to participate in a variety show with such a high level of danger—could it an that her luck was about to run out?
Miss Su was very pleased, but fearing more mishaps, she sought out Xiao Xueyi at the earliest opportunity.
“What? You’re also going to participate in ‘Wilderness Survival 30 Days’?!” Xiao Xueyi exclaid, rising from her chair in shock.
Miss Su nodded, “Yes, I am going to participate.”
“Have you lost your mind?” Realizing that her tone was a bit harsh, Xiao Xueyi paused for a mont before speaking again in a lowered voice, “Su Yinwan, you know how dangerous that show is. Last season, one of our company’s artists participated, and what happened? They ended up with a lifelong disability. You’re on the rise right now, how can you joke with your health like this?”
“I’m not joking.” Miss Su asserted seriously, “Sister Xueyi, I’ve made this decision after careful thought. I didn’t get selected for Director Zhang’s film, and now I don’t have many appearances lined up. This variety show is starting, and by participating, I can gain so exposure.”
“But…”
“Oh, Sister Xueyi.” Miss Su clasped her arm, “Don’t forget who is sponsoring this variety show.”
Realization dawned on Xiao Xueyi.
“Wilderness Survival 30 Days” was heavily funded by Chang’an dia, and the actual controlling party of Chang’an dia was the Gu Family’s patriarch together with Jin Siyue.
It was already a widespread rumor outside the affluent circles that the Gu Family heir was missing, aning that Chang’an dia was now entirely in the hands of Jin Siyue.
And this Demon King had been getting close to their Miss Su Yinwan lately.
If Miss Su participated in the program, he would doubtlessly give his full support.
“But hasn’t the list of participants for the show already been released? If you squeeze in now, it’s bound to start a public relations battle,” Xiao Xueyi voiced her concerns.
Miss Su smiled slightly, “Sister, don’t worry about that, I’ve already asked. This year, the show will employ a completely new format. As soon as soone is eliminated, they will be replaced by a new mber. I can apply to be a backup guest.”
“Oh, I see. Then I’ll go and report this to the higher-ups. You go ahead and prepare yourself.”
“Alright, sure.”
After finishing her discussion with Xiao Xueyi, Miss Su drove to the Junyi Group.
This was the largest company under Shang Shaojing, as well as his main place of work.
The receptionist at the building was already familiar with Miss Su and directly notified Shang Shaojing’s assistant upon seeing her.
The assistant led her to Shang Shaojing’s office and brought her a cup of tea.
“Miss Su, President Shang is still in a eting. Please wait here patiently. If you need anything, I’ll be right outside the door—just let know.”
“Okay.” Miss Su smiled sweetly, nodding her head.
After the assistant left, she picked up the cup of Earl Grey tea from the table.
She hadn’t expected that even Shang Shaojing’s assistant knew her favorite drink was Earl Grey tea. He truly was the male lead, so considerate.
After finishing the tea, Miss Su began to wander around Shang Shaojing’s office.
His office was on the 30th floor or so, with full-length windows throughout, making the room brilliantly bright when the sun shone in.
Looking down, she could see the grand and imposing high-rises of the Capital, crisscrossed and standing guard like soldiers tightly surrounding the majestic building at her feet.
Miss Su spread her arms wide, basking in the pinnacle of power that mont afforded.
If she completed the task of this realm and returned to the command station, would the scene be the sa as it is now?
However, before she could imrse herself in that fantasy, a disturbance sounded from behind her.
Thinking it was Shang Shaojing coming back, Su Yinwan turned around with surprise, only to find an unfamiliar man standing at the doorway, sizing her up.
The man was dressed in a well-tailored deep brown suit, his figure tall and slender, and he wore gold-rimd glasses on the bridge of his nose.
Although his features were not as deep and abstinent as Shang Shaojing’s, they exuded a genteel elegance, hinting at the refined air of a scholar.
Seeing her turn, he offered a slight smile, “Hello, Miss Su.”
Su Yinwan was sowhat astonished.
He actually recognized her?
After being stunned for a few seconds, she ca to her senses.
This must be Shang Shaobai, the half-brother Shang Shaojing had ntioned before.
Considering Shang Shaojing’s opinion of his brother, Su Yinwan did not show much interest.
The book only ntioned Shang Shaobai in passing, as nothing more than a clown. She did not need to expend effort on him.
Thinking this, Su Yinwan put on a polite smile.
“Hello, Mr. Shang.”
Shang Shaobai was not overly surprised that she had recognized him. After eting her gaze with an impassive look, he placed the docunts he was holding onto Shang Shaojing’s desk.
“Miss Su, your relationship with my younger brother is truly exceptional. It’s rare for him to allow others to stay in his office, even I, his brother, don’t have such a privilege.”
Su Yinwan pursed her lips, “We… are just close friends, that’s all.”
“Is that so?” Shang Shaobai adjusted his glasses, smiling as he said, “But Shaojing has ntioned more than once or twice in front of our father that he quite likes you.”
Su Yinwan feigned a shy deanor, while internally cursing this scheming Shang Shaobai.
She, too, wished to confirm her relationship with Shang Shaojing, but with a heap of plot tasks still incomplete, things would fall into disarray if she got together with him prematurely.
“Really?” Su Yinwan muttered reluctantly, “Brother Shaojing is also very nice, he takes good care of .”
Shang Shaobai fixated on her slightly evasive gaze, confirming the suspicion in his mind.
This woman wasn’t sincere towards Shang Shaojing.
That made things much easier.
“Shaojing doesn’t just take care of you, he even defied our father to accompany you on the variety show. Recently, he was even forced by our father to surrender shares in several companies. Miss Su, you should really make it up to this younger brother of mine.”
“What?” Su Yinwan was clearly surprised, “I didn’t know…”
No wonder Shang Shaojing’s attitude towards her had cooled down recently; he had been dealing with all this.
But according to the book, the protagonist gradually gained control of the entire rchant family without encountering many setbacks.
“Shang Shaobai, do you have a lot of free ti?”
An icy male voice suddenly ca from outside the door, effectively interrupting Shang Shaobai’s speech.
Seeing Shang Shaojing enter with an unhappy complexion and a dark gleam in his eyes, Shang Shaobai slightly shrugged his shoulders, appearing sowhat innocent.
“Don’t misunderstand, Shaojing. I was rely having a chat with Miss Su. I’ve brought you the recent investnt proposals, take a look when you have ti.”
After saying that, he cast a aningful look at Su Yinwan, then turned and left.
