Chapter 139 Better safe than sorry

Since the group had been discussing things late into the night, Yami didn't go home but instead stayed at Luo Jiayin's house.

The next day, Luo Jiayin did not ask Xiao Wang to pick her up. Instead, Ye Jian drove her directly from her home to the Song Group's new product launch event.

The press conference was unremarkable. The Song Group introduced several newly developed skincare products to the media. They were nothing more than the same high-end cosmetics that ordinary people couldn't afford even if they sold their pots and pans, and that only wealthy ladies would pursue.

After the staff introduced the products, they also presented advertising images and promotional videos for the new products. Finally, the CEO of Song's Group went on stage to say some words of thanks, and the host announced the end of the new product launch, asking everyone to look forward to the evening's cocktail party.

Bored, Luo Jiayin and the other two inquired about the location of the charity gala that evening and went there ahead of time to wait.

The reception following the press conference was held at a five-star hotel located a hundred meters away from the Song Group, which is also a property of the Song Group.

When Luo Jiayin arrived at the hotel, it was still early. After the doorman took the car keys, the hostess warmly welcomed the three of them inside.

The Song Group had already prepared private suites for the invited guests to rest in.

After receiving their room keys, the three of them went together to Luo Jiayin's room to rest.

Luo Jiayin's suite is considered the highest-spec suite in the Song Group's hotel.

There are two floors in total. There is a small living room on the first and second floors. The rooms are even equipped with a kitchen and all kinds of supplies.

The three sat on the sofa to rest. Luo Jiayin was bored, so she turned on the TV and randomly selected a channel to watch. Yu Jiu, on the other hand, searched online for various news about Song Group's new product.

In contrast, Yami was much less interesting, picking up a magazine from the newspapers and magazines in the room and flipping through it.

Actually, when Yu Jiu first arrived at the room, he wanted to discuss the evening's cocktail party with the two of them.

But Luo Jiayin whispered in her ear, "This is not appropriate."

Yu Jiu was initially confused, but when she saw Luo Jiayin and Ye Jian simultaneously cast meaningful glances at the row of cups with logos on the table, she suddenly understood.

But it's really not suitable!

This place belongs to the Song Group; it's hard to guarantee they won't install some high-tech eavesdropping devices or cameras in the house as a precaution.

Moreover, last night, Ye Jian explained to Yu Jiu that there is now a kind of cutting-edge technology that can monitor all electronic devices within a fixed range in real time.

Just like the so-called "big data" of today.

In other words, assuming the Song Group also installed such equipment in this hotel, then it would be possible to know what they looked at and searched on all the mobile phones, computers, and other devices they used in the hotel.

Even the communication software used and the content of conversations with different people will be known to the other party.

Thinking of all this, Yu Jiu couldn't help but shudder.

On one hand, she was glad that Luo Jiayin and Ye Jian were both thoughtful and meticulous; on the other hand, she also mentally criticized herself for being too dense and not considering things comprehensively enough.

The three of them were bored out of their minds in the room and finally made it to night.

Yu Jiu glanced at his watch; it was already past 7:30, but no one from the Song Group had come to notify them to prepare to enter.

I heard that the Song Group invited many prominent figures in the entertainment industry to today's charity gala.

With so many stars gathered, the media naturally wouldn't miss such a grand occasion, and they had already assembled in the banquet hall to wait. Those without credentials or invitations also lined up around the hotel, afraid of missing any news.

If Luo Jiayin misses the time to attend the party and is late, she will inevitably be criticized by the media for being arrogant and diva-like.

Although Luo Jiayin didn't care about that, she was here today to find out about the Song Group.

Adhering to the principle of "the less trouble, the better," Luo Jiayin still had Yu Jiu use a passenger plane to call the hotel front desk.

"Hello, this is the VIP service desk at Jinjiang Inn. How can I help you?"

"Um, hello, I am Mr. Luo Jia's assistant who has been invited to your company's charity gala tonight. I would like to confirm the start time of the gala with you."

"Oh, it's Mr. Luo's assistant. Hello, we've been informed that the Song Group's charity gala will begin at 8:30 tonight."

"Our staff will remind you of the time via internal line around 8 o'clock. Please rest assured that it will not delay Mr. Luo Jia's attendance."

"OK, thanks."

"You're welcome, it's a pleasure to help you. Is there anything else I can help you with?"

"there is none left."

"Okay, then we won't bother you any longer. Have a pleasant stay."

After hanging up the phone, Yu Jiu looked at Luo Jiayin and Ye Jian and relayed what the hotel receptionist had said to them.

Yami shrugged, looking helpless.

He then walked to the large floor-to-ceiling window, as if looking at the brightly lit city at night.

"Let's go take a look."

Seeing this, Luo Jiayin patted Yu Jiu, who quickly got up and followed. The two of them walked to the window and stood side by side with Ye Jian.

"I just found out that there will be an auction at today's charity gala, with only one item up for auction. However, this item is quite special; it's said to be a new project from the Song Group."

Yami's gaze remained fixed on the view outside the window, as if he were admiring the scenery, but he deliberately kept his voice very low, and his lips were barely moving.

"Yami, we're not really here for charity. I'm not interested in any of those auction items. Our purpose isn't to attend the party."

Luo Jiayin touched her cheek and responded in the same deep voice as Ye Jian.

He then gave a contented smile, turned to Yu Jiu beside him, and said, "The view from this height is really beautiful. The night sky over this bustling city is so soothing to look at."

"ah?"

Yu Jiu was concentrating on trying to hear their whispered conversation when he was suddenly stunned by Luo Jiayin's nonsensical remark.

However, Yu Jiu quickly realized that Luo Jiayin was probably "counter-surveillance," so she naturally smiled and replied, "That's right, Teacher Luo Jia."
