Chapter 30
She had been to Shanghai a hundred or eighty times, but had never been as tired as this time. Rong Susu sat on a bench by the river, too tired to move. She pounded her legs, bit her juice straw and stared blankly.
"Are you sure City Walk isn't asking for trouble?" She looked at Yan Jiayu in confusion. This person invited her to Shanghai, couldn't he just be here for sightseeing?
Shanghai has become a little chilly in autumn. The setting sun shines on the river, and the boats shuttle back and forth, creating a unique and pleasant atmosphere.
Dressed in casual clothes, Yan Jiayu still looks refreshed, and her white sneakers are spotless. It can be seen that she is a person with a very high quality of life.
"Have you ever tried the shengjian (stuffed dumplings) from the Yangchun alleys?" he asked.
Rong Susu shook her head. She had never heard of it. Is this another internet-famous restaurant?
"An old lady made it. It has lots of stuffing and thin skin. I loved eating it when I first came to Shanghai. Why don't we have it together tonight?" Yan Jiayu suggested.
Rong Susu rolled her eyes at him and said, "Friend, can't you treat me to something expensive?"
I spent less than 200 yuan on food and drinks after a day of walking in the city.
Yan Jiayu laughed heartily, "If we're not going to Yangchun Shengjian tonight, then we should go back and change our clothes."
Where should I go to change clothes? Rong Susu was puzzled.
When she returned to the hotel, she found a black fishtail skirt in the room. She was a little surprised because she didn't seem to have ordered this skirt.
It must be Yan Jiayu. What is he up to?
It wasn't until she arrived at the party that Rong Susu finally understood that Yan Jiayu had an appointment tonight and she had come as his female companion.
He just asked me to be his female companion for free. He really made full use of the free labor. What a hateful capitalist.
Yan Jiayu extended his arm politely, "The dinner here isn't as good as the shengjian (stir-fried dumplings), but there are quite a few investors."
When it comes to investors, Rong Susu's eyes light up instantly. That's great. She was worried about not having investment. Yan Jiayu was giving her a fish pond. Whether she could catch fish depended on her own ability.
"Do you remember what I told you last time?" Yan Jiayu asked.
"No matter who it is, do a background check first." Rong Susu kept it in mind.
"Actually, I still advise you not to be too obsessed with trying a new track, but since you're so determined, there's nothing I can do."
I can only introduce you to some reliable investors. Yan Jiayu feels that the impression he left on Rong Susu should be much brighter.
Because she is good-looking and has a strong social personality, and with Yan Jiayu's protection, Rong Susu feels like a fish in water. She actually caught a big fish and quickly found Yan Jiayu to show off.
"That won't work. I guess he has taken a fancy to you." Yan Jiayu shook her head.
This guy is a rich second-generation, but the power is still in his father's hands, so he has no say. I guess he just wants to pick up girls.
The first one was passed.
"That won't work either. Their business is still connected to the Liming Group. After the background check, you will withdraw your investment."
The second one was also passed.
This happened several times in a row. Rong Susu became discouraged and sat by the pool feeling bored. She reached out to play with the water.
Rong Susu is the focus wherever she is, as long as there are people around.
"Hi, beautiful lady, what's your name?" A middle-aged man with a slick tongue came over to chat.
"My last name is Rong." Rong Susu replied.
"Ms. Rong, you have such a good image. Do you have any plans to make a movie?" The other party took out a business card and introduced himself as a director.
Rong Susu's face was filled with black lines. She still wanted to be on the show and had never thought about acting herself.
"Sorry, Director Sheng, this is my friend." Yan Jiayu hurried over to help. He had just been stopped by several people, chatting about this and that, but he had been paying attention to Rong Susu's movements.
"You're so discouraged now. You finally realize that doing business is not that easy." After sending the person away, Yan Jiayu brought over some sparkling juice and sat with Rong Susu.
Her throat was almost burning from the whole night, and she was in a depressed mood, so Rong Susu drank the drink in one gulp.
Bubbles rushed up and she couldn't help but burp. She quickly covered her mouth and secretly glanced at the person next to her. The other person was staring at the prosperity in the distance, so fortunately he didn't notice.
This is the outdoor area on the top floor of the hotel. The night breeze brings some refreshing coolness.
The big words "Liming Group" are shining on the building opposite. This is the Shanghai branch.
"I heard it." Yan Jiayu couldn't help laughing. He wanted to ignore it, but Rong Susu was, how should I put it, too cute.
If Rong Susu knew that she would still be described as cute at the age of 30, she would just think that the other person disliked her. She never went for the lolita style, always the mature lady style.
"Were you there when Cheng Huaian rang the bell?" Yan Jiayu asked her.
What? What bell are you ringing? When will Cheng Huaian become a monk?
After a moment of reaction, Rong Susu finally understood what the other party meant, which was to ring the bell when the company went public.
She shook her head. They were very low-key in public. Cheng Huaian would not let her attend. She could only see it from the video. She vaguely remembered that the ceremony was quite grand.
Yan Jiayu said, "When I was there, the price of Leon Lai's stock soared from 25 yuan to 35 yuan, and it has been on a roll ever since."
This made Cheng Huaian what he is today, but he never said this.
"You are quite interested in him?" Rong Susu realized it a little late and suddenly became a little alert. Could it be that Yan Jiayu approached her because of Cheng Huaian?
Which man would not envy Cheng Huaian?
How many people followed his path, but eventually disappeared in the face of the tide. His path to success cannot be replicated, and this is the most interesting point in the industry.
Although he has an ordinary family background, he relies on himself. After he succeeds, he has no constraints and holds power. This is the dream of many people.
Even though he came from a wealthy family, his parents always used Cheng Huaian to motivate them.
"They started from scratch at such a young age and were able to achieve such a career, but you are now sitting on the shoulders of your parents and doing nothing. You are really a bunch of mediocre people!"
This is what Grandpa often says to them, but he can't say this to Rong Susu. After all, men are competitive, and he doesn't want to admit that he is worse than Cheng Huaian, especially in front of his ex-wife.
"No, I want to tell you that success isn't easy. There aren't that many chosen ones. Sometimes hard work doesn't always pay off."
Yan Jiayu said seriously.
She has tried so many methods, but there is still no progress. Although she is the kind of person who becomes more courageous as the battle goes on, she has now learned to let go.
"What's your suggestion?" Rong Susu was still a little reluctant. After all, she had said harsh words and invested a lot of money. She didn't want so many people's early efforts to go to waste.
The advice Yan Jiayu gave was quite practical. It was to jointly develop the project and cooperate with Cheng Huaian, letting him invest and giving him a 49% share.
"Do you know that Cheng Huaian has a younger sister?" Rong Susu looked unhappy. She might as well have kept the share in her hands and not developed it after giving it to Cheng Huaian.
Yan Jiayu hadn't researched Cheng Huai'an's family tree. Could it be that he had a younger sister? What was the relationship between this and his younger sister?
"She's my half-sister." Rong Susu explained, "This girl studies dance. If Cheng Huaian and I work together, it will become a program that helps He Shurong debut."
It turns out that his surname is He, and there is no blood relationship between them.
Yan Jiayu has extracted enough useful information from these words.
"It seems that your relationship with your sister-in-law was not harmonious before."
The Yan family is also a large family with complicated and confusing relationships. Yan Jiayu has lived in such an environment since childhood and is no longer surprised.
"Is she very outstanding?" Yan Jiayu asked. She didn't want to be a good young lady and insisted on making her debut.
"Do you know the internet-famous theater at Licheng University?" Rong Susu asked an unrelated question.
Yan Jiayu nodded. She had heard of this. Cheng Huaian’s donation was indeed a large sum.
"I donated this specifically to allow He Shurong to study at the Dance Department of Licheng University."
That means his strength is not good enough, Yan Jiayu understood it.
"Rong Susu, since you don't like her, just let her be your tool." Yan Jiayu felt that all the problems were solved.
"Using her to create buzz and attract traffic to the show, isn't this killing two birds with one stone?"
When she can no longer contribute to the show, kick her out. There is no need to be soft-hearted towards people you hate.
"But Cheng Huaian won't agree. You don't know He Shurong's temper. She will definitely go and bully others." So she insisted on not letting He Shurong participate in the recording of the program.
Yan Jiayu was speechless. Rong Susu had been out of touch with society for too long and didn't understand what young people were thinking nowadays.
"Rong Susu, you think everyone else is easygoing. Maybe in the end, your ex-sister-in-law can't stand it anymore and wants to withdraw from the competition."
A word of advice awakened the dreamer. Yes, she was thinking too much. Others were not stupid. Putting He Shurong into this big dye vat and letting her shine for them was the right way.
"Yan Jiayu." This was the first time Rong Susu called him by his full name. Although he had a romantic and amorous face, he was still a very reliable person.
"I owe you a favor." Rong Susu said solemnly that if Yan Jiayu needed her help one day, she would do her best.
"Let's go, go back and rest, and then go back to work hard." Yan Jiayu stood up and extended his hand to Rong Susu.
Yes, let’s do it big time.
Because she was too excited, she didn't notice that her high heels got stuck in the gap of the wooden floor when she stood up. Rong Susu lost her balance and fell backwards. In panic, she grabbed Yan Jiayu's collar, and both of them fell into the landscape pool in the center of the party.
A huge splash of water occurred, and amid the exclamations of the crowd, the two wet people, who were still confused, suddenly pointed at each other and started laughing.
The hotel manager quickly took the two to the suite to clean up. They were both VIP guests, and the staff were all scared at the time, but who knew they thought it was funny.
"Mr. Yan, Ms. Rong, we will quickly wash and dry the clothes and send them to you. Please take a rest and have some midnight snack."
After taking a hot bath and changing into a bathrobe, Rong Susu met Yan Jiayu in the living room, who was also wearing a black bathrobe.
His pecs were nice and handsome, but strangely, she didn't feel uncomfortable at all.
"What do you call this? Good things take time?" she teased.
"No, this is the fortune that comes with water." Yan Jiayu opened a bottle of champagne with a smile, poured two glasses, and handed one to Rong Susu.
"You will definitely succeed." He congratulated Rong Susu in advance.
Just as the two were clinking glasses, the door lock suddenly clicked and the door opened.
She thought it was the hotel manager, but when she saw who it was, Rong Susu felt her breath stop.
What's going on?
How did Cheng Huaian travel here?!
***
The Shanghai branch of Liming Group changed its leader today, and Cheng Huaian came specifically to announce the personnel appointment.
The presidential suite of this hotel was his regular room in Shanghai. He came here without saying hello, but when he saw the scene in front of him, he felt like his scalp was about to explode and his blood pressure soared instantly.
Rong Susu was wearing a nightgown with Yan Jiayu, who was also wearing a nightgown. What were they doing just now? Did they go to bed?
The man who came was like a wild beast, with veins bulging on his forehead and an obvious aura of hostility emanating from his body. She had only seen Cheng Huaian like this once, and that was when he stood up for her and beat up the Diya investor.
Rong Susu felt dangerous and uneasy, thinking that Cheng Huaian must have misunderstood.
She was a little panicked and subconsciously stepped forward to explain, "Cheng Huaian, things are not what you think, listen to my explanation first!"
But before she could finish her words, the man pushed her away, the wind from his fist brushed past her ear, and as she screamed, Yan Jiayu fell to the ground.
