After Jiang Shining got into the car, Jing Yuan got in from the other side, and the two sat in the back seat.
Jiang Shining couldn’t help but glance at him— Chu Jingyuan’s hair was swept to one side, he was wearing sunglasses, a black suit, and even his collar was tied tightly, giving him a serious and unsmiling look, which really made him seem like the real deal.
Feeling her gaze, Jing Yuan turned his head.
“How about it?” he asked. “Isn’t that how it’s always portrayed in the movies?”
Jiang Shining saw that Qin Qian was driving in the front seat, and she felt a headache coming on.
“You’re making Qin Qian the driver for this trip? That’s a huge waste of his talent.”
“It’s alright, Madam.” Qin Qian, driving ahead, said, “It’s my honor.”
Jing Yuan shrugged, with an expression that said, “See, I did the right thing.”
Jiang Shining looked at him. Of all her children, Jing Yuan was the one whose actions she could least predict.
“We need to agree on three rules,” Jiang Shining said. “Once we get to the scene, you’ll be a bodyguard and won’t be allowed to do anything else.”
“For example?”
“For example, some outrageous things,” Jiang Shining said. “And for example, I will definitely socialize and talk with other people— you are not allowed to stop me, and you are not allowed to have a presence. You have to do whatever I tell you to do.”
Jing Yuan let out a muffled hum, looking rather dissatisfied.
“Okay,” he said reluctantly. “I’m just an ordinary bodyguard now, the kind who doesn’t stand out.”
The two had reached an agreement.
After a while, the car arrived outside the studio building. A large group of reporters had already gathered outside the building, along with fans holding up signs in addition to the reporters.
When another car arrived, the fans cheered – regardless of whether the person inside was their idol, it was definitely a celebrity they rarely saw, so everyone was very excited.
Qin Qian slowly drove through the crowd, and the security guard at the entrance glanced at his pass before letting him through.
When he parked his car in front of the building, there were already staff members waiting outside.
Jiang Shining was about to open the car door and got out herself when Jing Yuan pressed her hand down.
Jing Yuan straightened his tie, then got out of the car from his side, closed the door, and walked around to the door on Jiang Shining’s side.
When opening the door, he would keep his lips tightly pursed and his head slightly raised, as if he were inspecting the surrounding security— only then would he pull open the car door.
Beneath Jing Yuan’s cool exterior, he was ecstatic. He felt like he was the protagonist of a movie. On the other hand, the thought of his other sons hiding at home watching TV while he could swagger out with Jiang Shining made him so happy he practically swung his tail like a propeller.
Jiang Shining got out of the car, and Jing Yuan opened the passenger door, took out the dress she had packed in a long bag, and followed Jiang Shining into the building.
Whether it was Jing Yuan’s aura that silenced everyone, or Jiang Shining’s somewhat cold demeanor when she wasn’t smiling, the two young people leading the way, a man and a woman, didn’t dare to speak. They were used to some celebrities having grand entourages in private.
Jiang Shining had just been thinking about Jing Yuan’s flamboyant desire to show off when she suddenly felt the silence around her and realized that the scene was a bit quiet.
So, she gently curled the corners of her mouth and revealed a smile.
“Where should I change my clothes?” she asked gently.
The two staff members immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and the atmosphere became livelier.
“Just follow me, it’s on the fifth floor.”
“Thanks.”
The female staff member seemed to hesitate for a moment before looking at Jiang Shining.
“President Jiang! I’m so glad to finally meet you in person. You’re even more beautiful than in the photos,” she said sincerely. “I think you’re my idol.”
“You flatter me,” Jiang Shining said with a smile, “but thank you for your compliment.”
Upon reaching the fifth floor, the staff member said again, “By the way, Ms. Lin Qingqing has also arrived; she’s right next to you.”
Jiang Shining went directly to the next room and knocked on the door.
“Who is it?” Lin Qingqing’s voice came from inside.
“It’s me,” Jiang Shining said. “Qing Qing, may I come in?”
The door opened quickly, opened by the assistant. Lin Qingqing was putting on makeup inside. When she saw Jiang Shining, she immediately waved happily, “Ning—” She suddenly remembered that they were outside, and it seemed that as an employee she should give Jiang Shining more face, so she changed it to, “Boss Ningning.”
“What do you mean, ‘Boss Ningning’?” Jiang Shining said with a laugh. “Just call me by my nickname or ‘Boss’. Why put the two together?”
Lin Qingqing chuckled twice. Then suddenly, she saw a bodyguard wearing sunglasses flash past behind Jiang Shining. Although she couldn’t see his face, Jing Yuan’s familiar aura of “keep away” was too conspicuous, and Lin Qingqing immediately shrank back.
Jiang Shining looked outside and politely said to the staff, “Lin Qingqing and I can share a dressing room, thank you.”
Then she gave Jing Yuan a death stare, telling him to stop wandering around.
Receiving a warning look, Jing Yuan stood still against the wall, his hands lightly clasped in front of him, looking very professional.
Jiang Shining closed the door and changed into her dress while her assistant helped her with her things.
“President Jiang, has your makeup artist arrived?” Lin Qingqing’s assistant asked.
“I’ll do my own makeup,” Jiang Shining said.
When she finished changing into her dress, Lin Qingqing had just finished her makeup. The makeup artist elongated the outer corners of Lin Qingqing’s eyes, and to ensure the makeup would blend well on camera, the peach-colored eyeshadow was applied slightly more heavily than usual.
Lin Qingqing was a stunning beauty. She wore a pure white fairy-like dress, but the upturned corners of her eyes gave her a cunning look, which added a kind of cute sexiness to her.
Jiang Shining did her own makeup, but it was quite light. After all, she wasn’t a celebrity, so the boss could do whatever she wanted.
The two stood together, one outgoing and the other gentle, one innocent and the other composed. Although they were both beautiful, their auras complemented each other perfectly, without any sense of competition between them.
“You two are absolutely stunning.” The makeup artist and assistant were both mesmerized, especially the makeup artist, who was almost moved to tears by their beauty. “Boss Jiang, I’m begging you to debut!”
“The two of us can write a letter in blood begging for your cooperation.” The assistant was almost in tears.
They felt like if these two were just sitting together eating sunflower seeds, viewers would be willing to watch a hundred episodes; they’d be a feast for the eyes.
Jiang Shining smiled and said, “If I were to debut, no one would pay you guys.”
Oh well, never mind then. We can only admire beauties from afar. President Jiang, who always gives out bonuses, is more important.
The two opened the door and walked out. Jing Yuan turned his head and was stunned for a moment, as if he was seeing the Jiang Shining from his previous life.
