Although Chu Jingyuan and Chen Tanliang always seemed to have friction, Jiang Shining still breathed a sigh of relief.
For boys, being able to fight was a good thing; the worst thing was bottling everything up inside, which made things difficult. As they fought, they would get to know each other better and get used to each other.
Only after thinking this over could she go to the company with peace of mind.
The music video for 4T’s new album had been filmed, and the sample footage had been sent to her office.
The four little ones stood nervously in front of her. Zou Yu was also there, but she was much more composed, smiling as she looked at them.
Jiang Shining watched the new music video. This time, the main style was youthful, innocent, and boyish. Four boys dressed in different styles of white clothing sang in the dark, radiating light. There was also a scene where they interacted with the boys using soft white gauze, and under a starry sky…
Because there was a “she” in this song, who represented the pure and beautiful imagination in the hearts of young people, Zou Yu’s first love face blended perfectly with the four people in the music video. However, the director understood that the target audience was girls and female fans, so Zou Yu’s character did not have any particularly intimate actions with the four boys. She was like a wisp of smoke, and her solo dance in the interlude fully expressed the calm and beautiful feeling she had. Although there was not much interaction, everyone could understand that she was the beautiful symbol in the hearts of those young boys.
Jiang Shining watched the entire music video and was very satisfied.
“Your singing has improved again.” Looking up, Jiang Shining praised you generously, “And your breath control is much more stable. Very good, I’m very happy to see your progress.”
Many artists, especially young ones, become arrogant and complacent after gaining fame and fortune, neglecting their basic skills and professional expertise. Unless they have a top-notch agent to manage their careers, this kind of rise to fame does more harm than good.
Now it seems that the four children had behaved very steadily.
The four of them smiled shyly.
“Don’t you even know who trained us?” the boy in charge of dance said smugly.
“With your and the agent’s supervision, we will only get better and better.” The captain however was more composed.
Jiang Shining nodded. “You’ve worked hard. I’ll give you two days off to go home and visit your families. After that you won’t be able to rest until the New Year.”
This was truly unexpected. Being able to go home and see their parents made them happier than any reward. There was no way around it; celebrities were just too busy. Even though Jiang Shining wasn’t the exploitative type of boss, the four children still didn’t have time to go home and usually lived together.
The end of the year was also the busiest time for celebrities, with many events taking place.
The four little ones thus left happily, leaving Zou Yu behind. Jiang Shining looked at her, her expression softening slightly.
“Are you getting used to this world?”
Zou Yu smiled and nodded, “This world is quite similar to the real world, and I don’t miss home as much now. Everything feels pretty good, I just hope the mission starts soon.”
Jiang Shining smiled gently.
“I know you’re anxious, but the variety show won’t start filming until after the new year. However, we’re pushing you from the start with the MV release. You need to be prepared and think about what kind of persona you want to portray.”
Zou Yu carefully wrote all her words down.
She felt very lucky; not all transmigrators encountered mentors who could help them. And even if they did, some mentors who had already completed their missions disliked newcomers and wouldn’t actually offer much assistance.
Zou Yu was deeply moved by the support of a senior like Jiang Shining.
Jiang Shining told her to go back and rest, then took out some documents from the drawer and started looking at them. Just then, she heard Zou Yu softly ask, “Senior… how does it feel to complete a mission? Is it incredibly blissful?”
Jiang Shining looked up and smiled.
“Yes, that’s why you need to work even harder so that you can have a chance to start over.”
If the mission failed, the transmigrator’s soul would also disappear. The Bureau was not a charity; they also had cold, hard requirements.
It could be said that transmigrates didn’t strive for a new life, but rather struggled to survive. Only those with such tenacity and an unwillingness to die would receive such an opportunity.
Therefore, Jiang Shining said, “Don’t be afraid. If you don’t want to die, you will definitely do your best.”
“Then… is it possible that I might fall in love with the target character?”
Jiang Shining thought for a moment, “Your task seems rather easy right now, and it’s possible that you might take a liking to one of the male leads. But it’s best not to do that.”
“Did you?” Zou Yu asked.
Jiang Shining was slightly taken aback.
Five worlds, five men.
The world always has splendor and beauty that reality lacks.
Sometimes, when a truly wonderful time arrived, she did indeed forget her identity, immersed herself in it, and experienced that beauty.
For moments, she even believed that this beautiful love was real and belonged to her. But after waking up from the dream, returning to reality, she regained her senses.
Jiang Shining was the best transmigrator not because every world she transmigrated into was the most difficult, but because her resilience, composure, and level of completion were always the best.
She might be momentarily lost in dreams, but that was all.
“There are wonderful moments during missions too. Just enjoy those moments.”
“Was there any man you particularly disliked?”
“Yes, the one from the apocalypse,” Jiang Shining said, not wanting to continue. “Our principle is not to violate the rules of the world. But the rule of the apocalypse is that there are no rules.”
The man who was her character’s husband was an extremely cunning and disgusting person. Judging from the initial information, he tricked hundreds of people, escaping for his own life while all the innocent victims perished. And after she adopted Guoguo, he even developed feelings for the child— at that time, Guoguo was still covered in fur!
So, Jiang Shining, following the rules of the world, shot him dead.
Her mission was to make the world a better place, and the world was certainly a better place now that one less person like him had been taken away from it.
The robot previously said that only those who weren’t extremely heinous would get a second chance, so this guy probably had no hope of reincarnation.
Thinking about that process made her happy.
After seeing Zou Yu off, Jiang Shining was in a good mood. She had been in a pleasant mood since the appearance of the brother and sister.
With nothing much to do in the afternoon, Jiang Shining decided to call Chen Ruozhi.
“Ruozhi, do you want to go shopping with me?”
Jiang Shining was deeply moved that her eldest daughter had returned. She couldn’t easily take her sons out, but Chen Ruozhi could!
Chen Ruozhi was also very happy, and the two agreed to meet on the commercial street in the city center.
Jiang Shining took out her sunglasses, and humming a tune, left the company, then drove to the city center.
The two had agreed to meet at a coffee shop. Jiang Shining parked her car and walked out of the parking lot. A gust of wind suddenly blew over her— she relied on her improved physical condition, so she came out wearing only a trench coat and boots, and surprisingly, she wasn’t cold at all.
Stepping into the coffee shop, she found the atmosphere to be very lively, with some young customers whispering among themselves.
The café had two floors, and there were even some young girls lounging on the stairs taking pictures with their phones.
Jiang Shining: …Why did she suddenly have a bad feeling?
Squeezing through the people on the stairs and going up to the second floor, Jiang Shining was completely overwhelmed.
She only invited Chen Ruozhi, but it was obvious that extra people had come along.
On the second floor, near the glass, sat two young men. The one on the left was dressed all in black, his dark eyes cold and aloof. The one on the right wore a dark gray turtleneck sweater, black trousers, and long boots. He looked rather casual, but his slightly upturned eyes and expressionless face gave him a cold and dangerous air.
The two men stood facing each other, one on the left and one on the right, evenly matched. They seemed completely unaware that many people on the second floor were secretly taking pictures of them.
They were both incredibly handsome, and they had two completely different styles, yet both were equally dashing.
Jiang Shining remained silent for a while. She glanced at the second floor and saw Chen Ruozhi sitting by the table, sipping her hot drink, acting as if she didn’t know them.
Through the crowd, the mother and daughter met eyes in perfect unison.
They communicated through eye contact in silence.
Let’s go, let them stay here by themselves.
Chen Ruozhi stood up. Although there was a distance between them, her older brother, Chen Tanliang, immediately sensed his sister’s movement. So he turned his head to look at her and saw Jiang Shining at the bottom of the stairs. As soon as he turned his head, Jing Yuan followed suit. Suddenly, both of the previously aloof handsome men broke into smiles.
The female guests at the bottom of the stairs all gasped.
Jiang Shining’s head started to ache; she figured these two would be trending on social media tomorrow. Chen Ruozhi approached her, and Jiang Shining grabbed her and dragged her downstairs, away from the trouble.
Just as the two were about to move, Jing Yuan received a call from Jiang Shining.
“If you dare to follow us, you’re dead.”
Jing Yuan and Chen Tanliang both heard the threat in his words.
The two froze.
Oh no, it seems like we’ve gone too far.
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Shining called her secretary.
“Have the department keep an eye on the internet, especially Weibo, for keywords related to P City’s xx commercial street and WW Cafe. If there are any street photos or Weibo posts featuring two men, suppress them and reduce their popularity.”
“Okay, President Jiang.” Although a little confused, the secretary still said.
Putting down her phone, Jiang Shining met Chen Ruozhi’s sympathetic gaze.
“Being a public figure is really difficult.”
Jiang Shining actually regretted it a little. If she hadn’t appeared in public back then, she might be freer now. But then again, she had to show up, otherwise these children wouldn’t be able to find her at all.
“Why did they both come along?” Jiang Shining asked, frowning.
“My brother wanted to bring me here, and when Jing Yuan saw it, he came along too,” Chen Ruozhi said helplessly. “The two of them are really at odds.”
Jiang Shining texted the two of them, telling them to wait five minutes before leaving, then ignored them, put away her phone, and dragged Chen Ruozhi into the mall.
“Never mind them, let’s just go for our own stroll.”
On the other side, the two sons held their phones in silence.
The two belatedly realized that they might have gotten themselves into trouble.
