Gu Shaojin glanced coldly out the window, and seeing that most of the people had left, he immediately started the car and drove towards the underground parking garage.
Ming Jiayi breathed a sigh of relief.
The saying "the more famous you are, the more trouble you attract" is absolutely true.
Following the signs below the garage, Gu Shaojin quickly drove the car to the front of the Yuyue Entertainment elevator. The moment Ming Jiayi unbuckled her seatbelt, Gu Shaojin tightly grabbed Ming Jiayi's left hand.
He turned and stared intently at Ming Jiayi with his dark, unfathomable eyes, then said with a hint of anger,
"You need to learn to protect yourself from now on, okay?"
Ming Jiayi nodded somewhat stiffly. "Okay. But how come those people arrived so quickly? Were they protecting you from the shadows?"
"It's to protect you," Gu Shaojin replied calmly yet ambiguously.
Before the ambiguous atmosphere between the two could reach its peak, the elevator doors next to them suddenly opened.
Lin Xiaorou, along with Mo Xing and several employees, walked out of the elevator.
As soon as Mo Xing stepped out of the elevator, she spotted the two people in the car. She quietly covered her eyes with her hands, but then quietly opened her fingers a large gap.
Lin Xiaorou glanced at Mo Xing, then followed Mo Xing's gaze and saw Ming Jiayi and Gu Shaojin in the car.
Ming Jiayi looked outside somewhat awkwardly, and when she saw Mo Xing and the others, she immediately felt like she had seen a savior...
But I also felt that they came at the wrong time.
Lin Xiaorou led them forward, and Ming Jiayi opened the car window at that moment.
Mo Xing let go of her hand and stared at Ming Jiayi with a motherly smile.
"Jiayi, how did you get in? It's not like outside..." Lin Xiaorou asked.
Ming Jiayi glanced back at Gu Shaojin, then replied calmly, "His people helped keep the fans and reporters at bay."
Lin Xiaorou glanced at Gu Shaojin, whose expression was somewhat impatient, and politely asked,
"Oh, Mr. Gu, would you like to come upstairs for a cup of tea?"
Ming Jiayi opened the car door and got out, then turned around to look at Gu Shaojin.
Gu Shaojin raised an eyebrow, her gaze fixed on Ming Jiayi, unwilling to look away for even a moment. "No need. Call me whenever you want to go back, and I'll come pick you up."
Ming Jiayi quickly waved her hand, "No need, no need. I can take a taxi back."
Mo Xing stepped forward and quietly tugged at Ming Jiayi's sleeve, then whispered in her ear,
"Jiayi, aren't there a lot of people outside? Why is President Gu going out?"
“It’s okay, there are bodyguards outside helping to keep the media and fans at bay,” Ming Jiayi replied to Mo Xing. “Where’s my phone? Some fans outside just asked me how my injuries are, so I’m posting an update to let them know.”
Seeing Ming Jiayi talking to Mo Xing, and considering how hastily she had rejected him, Gu Shaojin was immediately displeased. He raised his voice arrogantly and said...
"Whatever, I'm leaving now."
Ming Jiayi had just picked up her phone and opened Weibo when she glanced up at Gu Shaojin, then gave a perfunctory nod.
"Okay, be careful, bye-bye."
Gu Shaojin frowned, and the next second he started the car and sped forward like a gust of wind.
"Jiayi, it seems like President Gu is angry," Mo Xing said to Ming Jiayi, somewhat uncertainly.
Ming Jiayi waved her hand casually and replied absentmindedly, "Why are you angry? No one of us provoked him just now."
Before the fans and media could react, Gu Shaojin drove past them at high speed.
After Gu Shaojin left, the bodyguards also went back to hide in the shadows.
Ming Jiayi has already posted an update on Weibo. Within just one minute of posting, the number of comments below has already exceeded 50,000.
The fans who had just stopped Gu Shaojin's car at the parking lot entrance were squatting on the floor, giving him a triple tap on the screen, and were so happy they were practically jumping for joy.
"Ahhh, Jiayi is such a sweetheart to her fans!"
"I love Jiayi so much, waaaaah! She didn't have a chance to say it just now, but as soon as she entered the company, she posted an update to reassure us. She's so thoughtful!"
...
Ming Jiayi sat in the conference room, listening to her colleagues from the planning department devise plans for her future.
From last night until this moment today, she has received countless offers for films and commercials, and these offers are far more substantial than those she had previously accepted.
Therefore, her colleagues believed that Ming Jiayi could simply cancel her previous job to take on a new one.
Ming Jiayi listened patiently to their analysis of the current situation, but she was not very willing to break her promise to others.
After the last person's suggestion was made, Ming Jiayi placed her hands on the table and answered seriously.
"I don't think the suggestion of turning down my current job to take on a new one is a good idea. I'm sorry, I'm not willing to do that."
Mo Xing sat next to her and nodded seriously.
She had already told the planning department people during their meeting that morning that Ming Jiayi would not agree, but they didn't believe her.
The scene suddenly fell silent, and for a moment they didn't know what to say.
Then Ming Jiayi spoke again.
"If I really turn down those jobs that I've already accepted, what do you think the staff there will think of me? What do you think the fans will think of me?"
If I can't even maintain basic credibility, I think my fame will only last a short time.
The others at the scene looked at each other in bewilderment.
Ming Jiayi is right...
But it was General Manager Lin who told them to rearrange Ming Jiayi's schedule...
They had no choice but to obey General Manager Lin's orders...
“Indeed, but what about General Manager Lin…” a colleague from the planning department said with some difficulty.
"It's alright, I'll go explain to President Lin," Ming Jiayi replied.
After the meeting ended, Ming Jiayi strolled leisurely toward Lin Xiaorou's office.
She stood at the doorway and looked through the glass window at Lin Xiaorou, who looked somewhat weak, taking her medicine.
Ming Jiayi frowned, remembering the time she had told Lin Xiaorou to go to the hospital for a check-up.
Ming Jiayi gently knocked on the door. When Lin Xiaorou looked up and saw who it was, she immediately put down the medicine, put on a smile, and replied, "Please come in."
"Are you taking stomach medicine?" Ming Jiayi asked.
Lin Xiaorou chuckled and nodded, then walked towards the sofa as she spoke, "Yes, my stomach is a little upset. Come and sit down."
"Did you go to the hospital for a checkup?"
"Hmm," Lin Xiaorou replied calmly, "Is the meeting over? Which of their suggestions do you think is better?"
Ming Jiayi walked to the sofa and sat down. "I came here to talk to you about this..."
