Chapter 244 I Don't Forgive Her
The story of Su Ying and Zhu Jinzhao is now going viral online, and even the servants of the Shi family have seen it trending on their phones.
Zhu Jinchao's identity is sensitive, and it is not appropriate for her to appear in the public eye at the moment, so she can no longer participate in any entertainment activities.
"Chao Chao, are you really not coming out to play with us?" Jiang Jingwen put her arm around Zhu Jinchao's shoulder and walked towards the front door with her head down.
Zhu Jinzhao smiled and shook his head: "I'm not going. This matter is currently in the spotlight, and if I show my face in public, it will attract a lot of unnecessary trouble. You guys go and have fun."
“Sigh…” Jiang Jingwen sighed, “Alright then, you stay at Shi Jing’s house obediently, and text me if you get bored.”
"Okay." Zhu Jinzhao stopped at the door, waved to Jiang Jingwen and Ning Shi, "Bye-bye, see you tonight."
Ning Shi: "See you tonight, I'll buy you something delicious when I get back."
Wishing you a happy day!
She and Shi Jing stood at the courtyard gate, watching their friends leave.
After they had walked some distance, Shi Jing took Zhu Jinzhao's hand and led her back.
"Actually, you don't need to be so careful. The places they go to are all high-end private venues. As long as you cover your face, basically no one will be able to recognize you."
“No.” Zhu Jinzhao disagreed with his idea. “The paparazzi in the entertainment industry are the most powerful. Even if I dress up as a dumpling, they will still find a way to recognize me. Besides, Mingyue just sent me a WeChat message, specifically telling me not to go out these two days, because quite a few paparazzi have already gone to her workplace and surrounded her.”
“These paparazzi are the most shrewd. If they can’t get a picture of me at Mingyue’s place, they’ll definitely guess that I’m not there at all.”
"It's too dangerous outside right now. I'd better stay home. Home is the safest place."
“Okay.” Shi Jing tightened his grip on her hand and pulled her into his arms with a little force. “Then we won’t go out for the next couple of days. I’ll stay home with Chaochao and enjoy some time alone together.”
"Mmm." Zhu Jinzhao lowered her head, her cheeks slightly flushed.
Shi Jing: "We've eaten and watched the movie. Is there anything else you'd like to do, Chaochao?"
"Hmm..." Zhu Jinzhao frowned and thought seriously for a moment, but the moment an idea came to her mind, she was interrupted by the sudden vibration of her phone.
"Buzz—"
"Buzz—"
Zhu Jinzhao let go of Shi Jing's hand and took out his phone from his jeans pocket.
"Sister Yang?" Zhu Jinzhao was a little surprised when he saw the name on the caller ID. "It's Sister Yang calling. I'll take this call first."
"Come on." Shi Jing pulled her to sit on the sofa, then expertly pulled her into his arms.
"Hello, Sister Yang."
"There's something I need to tell you today."
Yang Min's voice sounded a little muffled; she must have been making the call to Zhu Jinzhao from the car.
Zhu Jinchao sat up straight, her voice clear and gentle: "Sister Yang, please speak."
Yang Min: "Su Ying's agent just called me and said she wants to talk to you."
Zhu Jinzhao pursed her lips: "What does she want to talk to me about?"
"Let's talk about Su Ying." Yang Min's voice was tinged with amusement. "Su Ying is the star of their company. Now that we've tricked her, she's on the verge of leaving the industry. She doesn't want to lose Su Ying, her cash cow, so she wants to ask you to plead for her and see if you can have some mercy and give Su Ying a way out."
"..."
Zhu Jinzhao remained silent for a few seconds, without directly answering the question: "What does Sister Yang think?"
Yang Min: "I don't have any particular thoughts, it mainly depends on you. Su Ying's agent hinted to me twice on the phone that as long as you can forgive Su Ying and not force her to leave the entertainment industry, their company can give you two-thirds of the resources that Su Ying has."
"Su Ying is a top-tier artist, and the resources she has are definitely top-tier as well. If you want it, you can seriously consider this matter."
"...What does Sister Yang mean?" Zhu Jinzhao still asked the same question.
Yang Min's reply was tactful: "I respect your decision. You can talk if you want, or you can not. I don't have much to say, I just want to remind you of one thing."
"We can try our best to acquire resources, but if the embers accidentally reignite, then things will be difficult."
“…I understand.” Zhu Jinzhao smiled slightly. “Sister Yang, please help me reject Su Ying’s agent. Just say I’m not interested in talking to them.”
Yang Min: "OK. I'll call Su Ying's agent back in a bit."
Zhu Jinzhao: "Thank you, Sister Yang."
Yang Min: "It's nothing. I have to drive, so I'll hang up now. I have a half-day acting class tomorrow, so don't forget to go."
"Okay, bye-bye, Sister Yang." After saying this, Zhu Jinzhao hung up the phone.
"Tch..." Shi Jing scoffed sarcastically, and then quipped, "Su Ying's agent is really insincere. She's only willing to give up two-thirds of her resources when asking for favors. No one would agree to that."
Zhu Jinzhao looked down at her phone, replying to Jiang Jingwen's WeChat message while saying, "Two-thirds of the resources is actually a lot. For a star of my caliber, even if she only gave me one-third, it would save me several years of hard work."
"So she still had sincerity, it's just that I didn't want it."
Shi Jing said coldly, "Where is her sincerity? My relationship with you is an open secret in the industry. As the sole heir of Shiyun Group, what resources do you want that I can't provide?"
"She knows my capabilities perfectly well, yet she only offers you two-thirds of the resources. Isn't that a lack of sincerity? Either she doesn't give it to me at all, or she gives me three-thirds. What kind of nonsense is giving me two-thirds?"
"Hmm?" Zhu Jinzhao raised an eyebrow, thinking that what Shi Jing said made a lot of sense, but she was too lazy to care about it now.
"Whatever. It's her business whether she's willing to give me a third or not, and it's my business whether I agree or not. Even if she grits her teeth and gives me all of Su Ying's resources, I won't soften my heart."
"Great!" Shi Jing gave Zhu Jinzhao a thumbs up.
Zhu Jinzhao smiled at him and suddenly said, "I'm going to post something on Weibo."
Shi Jing nodded first, then asked, "What should I send?"
Zhu Jinzhao opened her photo album, uploaded a picture she had just taken while watching a movie to Weibo, and captioned it:
"I'm busy having fun, so please stop bothering me."
Shi Jing watched her post the Weibo message and asked with a hint of resentment, "Chao Chao, why didn't you post a picture of the two of us?"
Zhu Jinzhao: "Because our relationship cannot be made public yet."
"Why?" Shi Jing asked, displeased.
