Chapter 47 Chapter 47 Hourly Wage
"How is that possible? It's only been one night." The hotel curtains were tightly drawn. Jiang Yiyu hid behind them, slightly parting a gap to look down. She felt a headache coming on. "Why did you drive that minivan here? Why not get something more low-key?"
"Which car in my garage do you think is more low-key? I'll drive that one next time I come." Compared to Jiang Yiyu's anxiety, Cheng Shuze was very calm. He sat on the edge of the bed, his finger bones white and slender, and slowly buttoned his shirt from the bottom.
They met again after a long separation, and the timing was just right. When their feelings were at their peak, a phone call came in. Jiang Yiyu reacted immediately and kicked the defenseless Cheng Shuze off the bed.
As a result, Mr. Cheng now has a lot of resentment.
"None of your cars are low-key. Don't come next time." Under normal circumstances, Jiang Yiyu would probably tilt her head to watch Cheng Shuze get dressed, but now she was in no mood to appreciate him at all, so she directly retorted to his words.
The tight-fitting white shirt highlighted the man's sturdy shoulders. Cheng Shuze walked behind Jiang Yiyun and leaned against the balcony. His tall figure encircled her and he spoke nonchalantly, "It's nothing serious. Why are you so nervous?"
"Hey, don't touch me." Jiang Yiyu was very annoyed. She stared at the downstairs and shook her head to throw away Cheng Shuze's hand that had just been placed on her shoulder.
Cheng Shuze clicked his tongue and was about to persevere and put his hand on Jiang Yiyu's back when there were two quick knocks on the door. Jiang Yiyu turned around abruptly and pushed Cheng Shuze away to open the door.
It was Tang Ya who came, holding a bag of breakfast in each hand. After entering the room, she took a few steps and saw the messy bed that had not been made up early in the morning and Mr. Cheng standing by the window staring at her with a rather unfriendly look. Tang Ya cried out and realized belatedly that she seemed to have come at the wrong time.
"Mr. Cheng, long time no see." Tang Ya gritted her teeth and greeted Cheng Shuze, then turned and winked at Jiang Yiyu.
Last night he swore that it was not necessary, but look at the scene today.
Jiang Yiyu glared back with the same sharp eyes.
"What's going on down there?" Tang Ya was too thick-skinned to care if she continued to glare at him. Jiang Yiyu felt like her eyes were about to stop moving, so she had to ask for the latest news first.
"What else could be going on? Mr. Cheng's car has been recognized by the paparazzi." Tang Ya put the bag in her hand on the table and waved to the two of them to look. Jiang Yiyu's room was a little off, and she could just see the parking lot downstairs of the hotel. The parking lot was quiet now, and there were no paparazzi waiting there, but this was just the calm before the storm.
"How should I put it," Tang Ya quietly looked up at Cheng Shuze, "Mr. Cheng's S480 license plate has been quite well-known in the circle recently."
In the parking lot, there are a row of broken breads usually used by the crew, or RVs parked downstairs by celebrities who occasionally stay in the hotel. Suddenly, a commercial luxury car worth several million dollars pulls up. Do the paparazzi here think they are all blind?
Moreover, there's been a lot of news about Yunyi Film and Television lately. A small-time celebrity named Du paid a large sum of money to publish numerous press releases, quietly getting involved in a scandal, claiming to be close to Mr. Cheng. While the paparazzi didn't dare to sensationalize the scandal for fear of offending Mr. Cheng, they were secretly keeping an eye on him.
In front of Jiang Yiyu and Cheng Shuze, Tang Ya didn't dare to tell them directly that most of the female celebrities in the circle actually wanted to hook up with Mr. Cheng, but she felt that Jiang Yiyu should have guessed why Mr. Cheng's presence in the entertainment industry was more obvious than some popular young actors.
What's even more terrifying is that she just found out downstairs that Du Yisang has also been filming at the Linjiang Film and Television Base recently. Although he doesn't seem to be living in this hotel, would anyone believe that it's a coincidence that he appeared at the film and television base at the same time?
Jiang Yiyu felt even more upset.
"If they don't see anyone after a few days, will they give up on their own initiative?"
"I don't think so. If you can't be patient enough to keep an eye on gossip for a few days, you're not really a paparazzi. There are people squatting here permanently, and they can even change shifts mid-sentence. Besides, according to gossip, they're already checking which female artists are filming at the base recently."
Tang Ya gave Jiang Yiyu a look.
When the divorce was officially announced, it was the Jiang family that suppressed the online news. Two years after leaving, Jiang Yiyun returned to China to film in a low-key manner without attracting anyone's attention. In two years, the circle has changed so quickly that now when people mention Cheng Shuze, they think of him as a precious single boss and rumors about him being involved with female stars.
Let’s start by digging into the female stars, but after digging into the female stars without any results, sooner or later we’ll find out that Jiang Yiyu is also filming here.
After the divorce storm, Cheng and Jiang showed signs of getting back together, which was also big news for the media.
Cheng Shuze raised his eyebrows slightly, puzzled by Jiang Yiyun's worries: "Why not just announce the news of our reunion?"
"Get back together? When did we get back together? You're dreaming." Jiang Yiyu sneered.
Cheng Shuze's face darkened.
Seeing the battle that single people couldn't understand was about to break out, Tang Ya couldn't help but laugh dryly and stood up reluctantly: "Well, well, how about you guys discuss it first, I... I'd better step aside for a while?"
"No, you can't leave." Jiang Yiyu didn't want to quarrel with Cheng Shuze again, so she reached out and grabbed Tang Ya.
Facing Mr. Cheng's sharp gaze that was as sharp as a knife and clearly told her to get out as soon as possible, Tang Ya said that she was under great pressure.
Woo woo woo, it was all her fault. She shouldn't have sent a message to Jiang Yiyu in such a hurry, otherwise she wouldn't have accidentally walked into the scene of a couple's quarrel.
Cheng Shuze curled his lips, his deliberate smile a little cold: "Okay, then don't say anything."
Yesterday's long black trench coat was draped over his arm, and the top two buttons of his shirt were undone, unconcerned with the cold, revealing his neck and collarbone. Even though nothing had happened, she didn't know where she'd pressed him when she'd rushed to answer the phone. A faint red tinge appeared beneath his clear collarbone line, which at first glance looked like a hickey.
There's no need to take a quick look. Just look at the shaky perspective of the paparazzi who clicked on me to watch the short video. They can directly exaggerate one point to ten, and even the mosquito bite is solid evidence of the sex scene.
As for Cheng Shuze going out in such a carefree manner, what difference does it make whether he says it or not? Isn't it an official announcement?
Jiang Yiyu can even imagine tomorrow's headlines.
Two years later, Mr. Cheng visited his ex-wife late at night and stayed there all night. When he left, he had kiss marks on his body and a noticeable smile on his face. It seemed that they still had feelings for each other and had reunited.
Oh no, given the media's unpredictable nature, it should first be revealed that Mr. Cheng visited a mysterious woman at night, exposing his new relationship. Then, a few days later, it might be revealed that the mysterious woman is actually Mr. Cheng's ex-wife.
Jiang Yiyun was numb, and immediately reached out to pull Cheng Shuze with her free hand. Unfortunately, Cheng Shuze was no match for Tang Ya, and she couldn't hold on immediately. She had to let go of Tang Ya's hand and use both hands to drag him down by swinging her whole body on him.
Tang Ya moved to the window and began to appreciate the scenery of the parking lot. She had to say that the parking lot was really beautiful today. Why hadn't she realized that the parking lot was so beautiful before?
"You stay here and don't go anywhere."
"Ms. Jiang, weren't you eager for me to get out last night? Why aren't you letting me go now? You're so inconsistent and inconsistent." Cheng Shuze's voice was cold, and sounded sarcastic to Jiang Yiyu.
"How dare you say that? If you had driven away last night, no one would have noticed you so late at night. How could you be discovered this morning?" Jiang Yiyu took a deep breath and said, "Stop right there."
Ah, there are so many cars in the parking lot today, not a single empty space. Tang Ya started knocking on the balcony door to find something to do.
"You, stay in your room and don't go out."
Cheng Shuze glanced at Jiang Yiyu, who was pressing her whole body on him and trying to hold him back with her weight, without saying a word.
"I'll have someone bring up lunch at noon, and we'll figure it out in the evening."
It's difficult to operate during the day because there are too many people and too many eyes. I hope we can find a way to get Cheng Shuze away smoothly after dark.
This is the best plan now, better than rushing out and self-destructing.
Cheng Shuze said slowly: "That's right, but there is a problem. I have to go to work today."
Jiang Yiyun: "..."
It must be intentional. We could have a remote meeting last night, so why do we have to go to work in the company today?
Jiang Yiyun sneered: "Why, you can't do it without the company?"
Cheng Shuze hummed: "That's about right. I'm the CEO after all."
Jiang Yiyu gritted her teeth and anger flashed in her eyes.
But Cheng Shuze continued: "I'm paid hourly. If I miss a day, it will delay a lot of things and cause huge losses."
What the hell is an hourly wage? It’s fine if he pays others an hourly wage, but what the hell is the hourly wage his own company pays himself?
"How many."
"Calculate the hourly wage. How much do you charge for a day?"
Cheng Shuze's eyes flashed quickly, and he seemed to be thinking: "Then my day is precious."
Jiang Yiyu slammed the door angrily, and Tang Ya followed closely behind her, prostrating herself in admiration.
"You really paid so much." Tang Ya smacked her lips. "The old saying is true. Good-looking men are expensive."
Jiang Yiyu glanced at her.
Tang Ya realized that her words were ambiguous and quickly raised her hand: "Don't get me wrong, I don't have any thoughts. Mr. Cheng is too high for me."
Jiang Yiyun poked the elevator button and said, "I'm not a sucker. I'll just keep him here for now. I don't care whether he gets paid or not."
She thought Cheng Shuze was just talking casually, but she didn't expect him to actually take out his cell phone and calculate a series of numbers to mark his losses for the day. The amount was enough to cover the working expenses of their entire team for several days.
How dare she ask for it? How come she didn’t know that Cheng Shuze was so good at making money before?
If she had known earlier that Yunyi would invest the money, she should have taken it first.
The elevator ran at high speed and reached the first floor. The moment the door opened, Jiang Yiyu clearly felt that the atmosphere was a little different than before.
Almost everyone in the lobby focused their attention on the person coming out of the elevator for a moment, but they quickly looked away.
This person is obviously too many.
"It's everyone's nature to eat spectators. There are always people who want to watch the fun without any notice. You know." Tang Ya whispered.
