In the coffee shop.
When Su Daji arrived, she immediately noticed that there was another person sitting next to Zhang Lijuan. His hair was neatly styled, and he was wearing a custom-made suit with no discernible brand. He was looking at an iPad and whispering something to Zhang Lijuan.
Su Daji raised an eyebrow, placed her small bag on the table, pulled her coat tighter, sat down opposite Zhang Lijuan, and greeted her with a smile: "Teacher Zhang, it's been a long time. Your temperament is as elegant as ever."
He greeted the man again, smiling, and said, "President Shang, I didn't expect to see you here."
Gazing at Su Daji's alluring face, Shang Xiaosong raised an eyebrow and said slowly, "I thought Miss Su would not want to see me on this occasion."
"How could that be?" Su Daji's smile was smooth and appropriate, without the slightest hint of reluctance. She slowly said, "After all, President Shang is one of the biggest investors in my movie, what netizens commonly call the 'sugar daddy'."
"If you are not qualified to attend this event, then probably no one else is."
Knowing that Su Daji was confusing the concepts, Shang Xiaosong didn't argue with her about the difference between 'whether she was qualified' and 'whether she wanted to see me'. He simply gazed at Su Daji and sincerely praised her, "Miss Su, after two years, you have become even more radiant."
Su Daji simply smiled and did not speak.
Zhang Lijuan offered a brief explanation: "Ms. Su, I didn't know Xiaosong would be coming when I invited you. It was Xiaosong who found out and rushed over when he learned that my plane had landed and he had specially come to pick me up."
Knowing that Zhang Lijuan was not that kind of person, Su Daji smiled and said, "Teacher Zhang, don't worry, I won't misunderstand."
Not wanting Zhang Lijuan to be blamed for nothing, Shang Xiaosong also helped to explain, "...It has nothing to do with Sister Zhang. I originally had something to discuss with Miss Su, and I just happened to come and join in the fun."
Before Su Daji could raise an eyebrow or react, he pushed out a box and said to her, "Last time at the '101 Selection Camp' training base, I offended Miss Su with my words. I have felt very sorry for Miss Su ever since, and I have been looking for an opportunity to apologize to Miss Su in person, but I have not been able to find the right opportunity."
"On the occasion of the premiere of Miss Su's film, I have specially prepared some small gifts, firstly as an apology and secondly as compensation. I hope Miss Su will accept them with a smile."
"First of all, it was to support the box office of this movie, and I personally paid for more than 300 screenings."
"The second gift is this one."
Su Daji raised an eyebrow and opened the box.
Inside was actually a jade tassel hairpin that Su Daji used herself and was auctioned off at a charity auction after the movie ended. It fetched a high price of two million yuan, and the entire amount was donated to children in mountain villages in Su Daji's name.
Seeing that Su Daji only raised her eyebrows slightly and didn't seem too surprised, Shang Xiaosong wasn't surprised at all.
Su Daji, who was once unmoved even by the entire Shang Group, would naturally not be swayed by a mere hairpin now.
He simply smiled and said, "...Besides that, I heard that Miss Su hasn't found the person she's looking for yet, so I've prepared a gift for her."
