Chapter 174 JimanxShen Sujing 1
"Ji Man, I'm warning you one last time! After you graduate, come back and be a good teacher. Don't think about becoming a female star, otherwise I will pretend that you are not my daughter!"
The angry curse came out of the receiver. Ji Man held the phone farther away, his voice desperate and painful, "Dad, why don't you ever ask me what I want to do?"
"We are doing this for your own good. Being a teacher is stable and respectable..."
It's like this again, always like this.
Ji Man wiped the tears from her face and hung up the phone. The call ended with a beep and everything became quiet.
The busy street was bustling with people coming and going, and on the big screen of the shopping mall opposite, photos of a female star were scrolling.
Ji Manqing couldn't help but stretch his hands into the air, feeling that he was so far away from the screen.
The phone rang again. Ji Man was about to hang up, but after seeing the name on it, he clicked the answer button.
She sniffed and sorted out her emotions, "Sister Lin."
"Manman, I'm telling you, I got you a great opportunity!" As soon as she finished speaking, the person on the other end of the phone couldn't wait to say, "There's a dinner at Jingyue Hotel at 6pm. All you have to do is -"
"Sister Lin, I won't take part in this." Ji Man interrupted her with a frown.
"Listen to me first." The person called Sister Lin was still very excited. "Does the Shi family know about this?"
"The young prince of the Shi family will soon become an adult. There is a dinner party tonight, but the female companion of Huayu CEO cannot come due to some emergency. I finally managed to snatch this opportunity for you."
"We are just going to have a meal today. It is not certain whether the prince will be attracted to you, but Mr. Chen has promised that he will pay you no matter what the result is."
"Sister Lin..." Ji Man was a little hesitant.
"Two hundred thousand."
The sound of Lin Shuang chopping nails and iron rang out, and Ji Man was shaken.
"Ji Man, this is an opportunity that many people would fight for, and there are many investment tycoons that you don't usually see. Moreover, the prince has high standards, and you are not the only one who went there. Do you think you can be chosen by him at first sight?"
"I'm asking you one last time if you want to go. If you don't go, I'll find someone else."
“…I’ll go.”
Ji Man compromised, and for a moment it seemed as if something was tearing her heart apart, and countless voices were condemning her.
"Okay, be there on time at 6pm! Remember to prepare some nice clothes."
"knew."
The call was disconnected before she could finish her words, and the few words she spoke were blown away by the wind.
Ji Man looked at the time and saw that there were less than three hours left. She got up and walked to the shopping mall across the street and spent almost all her savings to buy a new dress.
Coming out of the mall, Ji Man was carrying her bag and using her cell phone navigation to calculate the time. It would take nearly an hour to take the subway, and she would still have to walk for a while after getting off the train.
She waved for a taxi and asked, "Master, how much is it to Jingyue Hotel?"
"Girl, you can't enter that place. You can only park one kilometer away nearby. We charge by meter."
Ji Man waved his hands, "Forget it, Master. Thank you."
After she finished speaking, she walked towards the subway station, muttering to herself that it would be better to take the subway.
After nearly two hours of journey, Ji Man finally arrived at the place Lin Shuang mentioned.
She changed her clothes in the bathroom, put on some simple makeup, and when she went upstairs there were still ten minutes before the dinner started.
Just as Ji Man was about to go in, the waiter at the door reached out and stopped her, "Hello, miss, please show me your ID."
After the inspection, the waiter smiled and said, "Okay, Miss Ji, the phone needs to be handed over temporarily. I'd like to trouble you to cooperate."
Ji Man handed the phone to him, and the waitress next to her came over to check her.
Ji Man's heart was beating fast. She waited until the waiter invited her in, then she calmed down and walked inside. However, she didn't notice that Lin Shuang was calling her one after another on the phone behind her.
The waiter opened the door for her, and Ji Man was stunned when she saw the scene inside.
Sitting in the main seat was a little girl who looked only about ten years old. The man next to her was wiping her hands carefully. Apart from her, there were no other girls.
The girl seemed to see her, raised her head and smiled sweetly, "What a beautiful sister!"
The people sitting around had different expressions, some were secretly happy, some were worried.
The man next to her followed her gaze and looked over. Ji Man was shocked and for a moment she didn't know whether to advance or retreat.
The girl turned around and said to the man next to her, "Brother Chengyu, she is so beautiful."
The man next to her whispered something and poured her a glass of water.
"Sister, please come in and sit down." The little girl said with a smile again.
Ji Man hesitated for a moment, then found the nearest seat and sat down.
