Gong Chengjue returned to the capital with injuries. Su Ziqing saw him off at the airport. Looking at him under his suit, she couldn't tell that he was injured at all. She went up and hugged him, saying, "Be careful."
She knew that his return to the capital was once again at the center of the storm, but as he said, being born into such a family meant he was destined to never have a peaceful day.
Therefore, there is no other option but to fight back.
Gong Chengjue hugged her back and whispered in her ear, "You must miss me."
Su Ziqing: "..." She was telling him to be careful; what was he doing flirting?!
But she still replied, "I miss you." When did she ever stop missing him? She just didn't want to tell him, hmph.
Gong Chengjue looked at the two capable bodyguards he had left for her and said seriously, "Protect her safety."
"yes."
Gong Chengjue strode away, accompanied by two bodyguards, and not far behind him, two more bodyguards in plain clothes.
It ensures 360-degree protection without any blind spots.
Su Ziqing also turned and left, glancing at the time; she had arranged to meet Luo Ziqi today.
Two hours later, I arrived at the restaurant where I was to meet Luo Ziqi.
The restaurant is located on the rooftop of a landmark building in City A, offering panoramic views and is currently a popular spot for social media check-ins. However, to cater to the upper class, this floor is only open to members.
Su Ziqing went inside, but her bodyguards were stopped.
"Madam, these are the rules of our restaurant. Rest assured, your privacy will be well protected when you dine here," the waiter said politely.
Ha, that's what the waiters on the island said too, but what was the result?
The waitress's words immediately made Su Ziqing feel completely insecure.
"I'm bringing my people in," Su Ziqing said calmly, clearly not intending to discuss it with the waiter.
However, the waiter actually came to stop them...
"This lady..."
Luo Ziqi saw Su Ziqing standing by the door from her seat, as if something had happened. She picked up her bag and went over. "Ziqing, what's wrong?"
Su Ziqing glanced at the waiter, "She said we can't bring bodyguards in."
Luo Ziqi glanced at the two bodyguards behind Su Ziqing.
The fact that Su Ziqing brought bodyguards at this time indicated that she had a purpose in doing so. Luo Ziqi unconditionally sided with her friend, saying, "Then let's not eat here."
As she spoke, Luo Ziqi was about to leave with Su Ziqing, but the waiter became a little nervous. "Miss Luo, please wait."
Just kidding, Miss Luo, such a big star, dining here is practically free advertising. Although this place is members-only, everyone has vanity. The more popular it is, but ordinary people can't come in and eat here, the more the members who dine here feel superior.
Luo Ziqi is a public figure, and many people know her. Su Ziqing is a businesswoman and not a public figure, so even though she is a wealthy woman in City A...
"A guest just cancelled their reservation, so we have a table available. Would you consider the person your friend brought as a guest?" The waiter said with a professional smile.
Although she had bodyguards brought in, she still dared not violate the company's rules. But if the two bodyguards turned into guests, that would be perfect.
Luo Ziqi looked at Su Ziqing and said, "Forget it, let's go somewhere else."
Su Ziqing didn't really want to leave, nor was she in the mood to argue with the waiter about his attitude. Instead, she looked at the two bodyguards behind her and said, "You haven't had dinner either, come along."
Bodyguard: "..." I feel a bit of pressure.
Su Ziqing walked inside.
Seeing that she looked tired, Luo Ziqi asked with some concern, "What's wrong? Are you working overtime again?"
"I didn't work overtime, but I spent the whole day at the hospital." Plus, she didn't sleep much last night, so she must be really tired.
"Are you not feeling well?" Luo Ziqi looked at her, her eyes reproachful. "Even though you're young, you can't be like those business people who don't care about their health and work overtime!"
"I already said it wasn't overtime, it was..." Su Ziqing briefly recounted what happened last night.
She had tried very hard to keep things simple, but Luo Ziqi was an actress, and she was good at applying what she learned to other situations.
Therefore, her reaction was even more exaggerated than Su Ziqing had expected, "Gong Chengjue was injured even with so many bodyguards? How skilled must the people who came be?"
Su Ziqing: "..." Okay, she talked for nothing.
She picked up her lemonade and took a sip. "Let's get down to business. How's the pre-production for the web series going?"
Luo Ziqi made a YEAR gesture, "And I have something to tell you."
"Um?"
“I signed a big star to play the lead role at a friendly price.” Luo Ziqi looked at Su Ziqing. “You should remember that person.”
Su Ziqing looked at her, but had no recollection of the entertainment industry.
"You asked him to shoot an ad last time, right?" Luo Ziqi reminded her.
Su Ziqing thought for a moment, "Yang..." It took her a while to remember the full name, "Yang Fan?"
"Yes, and you know what? As soon as Yang Fan heard that it was a web series you invested in, he said he would act in it at a friendly price. He also said that he really valued the script I had, and it even gave me the illusion that he was willing to act in it as a friend."
Luo Ziqi's voice rose involuntarily as she spoke, "Of course, the scripts I choose are definitely good."
But they're all in the entertainment industry, okay?
She sees a good script and wants to make a cameo appearance, but it's a lead role, not a friendly cameo! It's not like she's using a famous director's name to promote her, and she doesn't have any particularly close relationship with Yang Fan, so how could that be?
Su Ziqing looked at her. "So, do you think there might be some kind of conspiracy?"
Luo Ziqi shook her head, "It's not that serious. It's just filming a movie. What kind of conspiracy could there be? In terms of suffering losses, he's the one who suffers more. I'm not exaggerating, but with his current popularity, the price he's being offered now is so much higher than his real value."
She gestured a number with her hand.
Hearing this, Su Ziqing laughed, "Then that settles it, just consider it as something you found."
"That's true, but it's really strange. He's supposed to be very busy, so how come he has time to pay attention to my web series?"
Su Ziqing raised her chin slightly. "Couldn't it be him who's paying attention to me?"
What was originally just a joke suddenly became serious for Luo Ziqi, who stared intently at Su Ziqing's face.
Su Ziqing raised her hand and touched her face. "Hmm?"
“It really could be because of you.” Luo Ziqi frowned slightly. “He mentioned you to me.”
Su Ziqing: "..." She was just saying it casually, it shouldn't be that serious, right?
Also, Yang Fan only endorsed an advertisement, but it's not hard to know that she is the person in charge of the Su family. She blinked and said to Luo Ziqi half-jokingly, "Does he want me to fall for him?"
This kind of thing is nothing new in the entertainment industry.
