The next day, Shi Jing only made a brief visit to the set before returning to Dingdu in the afternoon.
Besides visiting the set, the reason for my return this time is also to learn about Tianyu's future plans and the company's investment projects.
With ample funding, Tianyu's previously chaotic board of directors has been completely reformed. After nearly two months of renovations, the new cinemas are now open for business.
Recently, a summer movie was released, so Ms. Fang invited Shi Jing to attend the premiere.
Just as Shi Jing was about to return to Dingdu, he gladly accepted the invitation.
After the revelations at the beginning of the year, Shi Jing's situation was no longer a secret within a small circle. The general public might not care, but those in the industry all had their own sources of information.
Shi Jing's investment in Fang's Tianyu Cinema Line has attracted even more attention.
When she arrived at the scene, she saw Fang Xue greeting the guests who came to attend the premiere with a big smile on her face, looking very spirited.
"Chairman Shi." Fang Xue greeted Shi Jing as soon as he arrived.
"Miss Fang, it's been a long time."
At this premiere, after three years, Shi Jing met Lin Youmei, the heiress of Leyu Entertainment Company, who was rumored to be going against her.
Strictly speaking, Shi Jing didn't recognize this person at all. After all, they were complete strangers, having only met once three years ago. However, the woman still remembered Shi Jing and tried to provoke her from afar.
Her makeup was exquisite, with bright red lips, and she dressed in a mature and sexy style. When she saw Shi Jing, the corners of her lips curled up slightly, revealing a disdainful smile.
"Miss Shi, it's been a long time."
Shi Jing could tell almost immediately that the visitor had ill intentions.
She nodded at the other person, without giving much of an expression.
Lin Youmei wouldn't let Shi Jing leave, and asked rudely, "What? Miss Shi, don't you recognize me?"
Shi Jing nodded politely, but his tone was anything but polite: "Who are you?"
She wasn't trying to annoy people; she genuinely didn't recognize her.
"You!" Shi Jing looked at the other party with an innocent expression.
"Ha, you're really something."
"You flatter me, but who exactly are you?"
Lin Youmei was furious. This person clearly didn't recognize her. If she introduced herself, wouldn't she lose face?
Seeing her gritting her teeth in anger, Fang Xue was afraid she would ruin the event, so she quickly came forward: "Miss Lin, I just heard Mrs. Lin mention you. So you've come here."
Fang Xue walked up and introduced them very politely: "Chairman Shi, I didn't expect you to meet beforehand. This is Miss Lin Youmei from Leyu."
I see!
Shi Jing looked at Lin Youmei and thought she was really boring. She held onto some old grudges for so long, clearly very vindictive.
Just like Shi Jing said before, she wasn't afraid of her.
"So it's Miss Lin, my apologies." She greeted her casually, still not taking her seriously.
That attitude wasn't bad, at least they didn't completely break off relations. But what kind of person is Lin Youmei? She's been pampered and coddled since childhood. What's the difference between being ignored and being slapped?
She glared fiercely at Shi Jing, gritting her teeth and saying, "Shi Jing, you really are something else!"
After saying that, she walked away in her sky-high heels.
As soon as Lin Youmei left, Fang Xue came over and asked helplessly, "Why did you have to upset her for no reason?"
"No, I don't know." Shi Jing smiled. "Who knows why Miss Lin got angry."
“She has a big temper, she’s been spoiled since she was a child,” Fang Xue concluded. “But you still need to be careful. Although you’re not afraid of her, there’s no guarantee she won’t resort to underhanded tricks.”
Shi Jing knew she meant well, so she politely agreed.
Having attended the premiere of Tianyu Cinema's new film, Fang Xue's boyfriend, director Qi, is finally ready to start filming his new movie. She only invested money in the film and didn't interfere with anything else.
During this period, Shi Jing stayed in Dingdu to understand the progress of the company's various projects and follow up on the construction progress of the office building.
She had just been to the construction site that day and figured she still had some time, so she decided to go to the research center. Just a couple of days ago, her senior colleague, Sun, had mentioned that their experiment had yielded results and they wanted to proceed with the next phase of research; she could go and take a look if she had time.
During the construction period, there were a lot of cars parked in this area. Shi Jing arrived late, so her car was parked a bit further away. As she was walking towards her parking spot, Shi Jing noticed a van parked next to her car.
At first she didn't pay attention, but soon she felt something was strange. She could vaguely see people in the car, and more than one.
Because of the construction work here, there are quite a few construction vehicles, and very few outsiders park their cars here. But if it's a construction vehicle, what kind of person arrives and doesn't get out, but instead stays inside?
Looking at the situation, she felt a little uneasy, but at that moment she did not realize that something was wrong.
As she approached and was about to unlock the car, four people suddenly got out of the car next to her: three burly men and an old woman.
The three burly men rushed over and grabbed the person. The old lady pretended to cry beside her, saying, "Xiao Jing, why are you so insensible? Da Hai works so hard, don't be angry with him. Come back with me!"
She was completely unaware of what was happening when these people swarmed her, but she instinctively knew something was wrong and immediately fought back.
Thanks to her years of training and skills, she immediately distanced herself from the three burly men.
She wasn't afraid of fighting, but women have a natural disadvantage in terms of physical strength when facing men. With three people on the other side, she couldn't get close, which put her at a disadvantage.
"Who are you people?" She had a feeling that the old woman's crying sounded like that of a human trafficker. This place was secluded and few people came here except during rush hour. Shi Jing's first reaction was to call the police.
However, before she could dial, the men exchanged a glance and surrounded her from the left and right.
At this moment, Shi Jing had no choice but to fight.
She gripped her phone tightly and slammed it into one man's face, while simultaneously striking him in the ribs with her elbow and kicking a third man between his legs.
To get to the construction site, she deliberately didn't wear sandals. With a hard kick of her shoe's toe, the man immediately clutched his groin in pain. The one who was slapped in the face fared even worse, covering his eyes completely, blood seeping between his fingers.
Faced with such a critical moment, she thought of almost every weakness of men she could think of before she managed to deal with the situation.
Faced with the sudden and unexpected defeat of two people by Jing in the first move, the old lady was somewhat stunned. After a while, she screamed, "Forget about the little one, hurry up and grab her!"
With a scream from the old woman, another person got off the car, this time carrying a dagger.
Shi Jing immediately sensed something was wrong; the other party had a weapon, which put her at a greater disadvantage. Just as she was wondering whether she should run, she saw through the open door of the car where the man had gotten out that she could vaguely see a child who was tightly bound.
