A Favor Done, A Husband Won-Chapter 202: Mr. Jing—That Untouchable Flower...

When they really saw all the leaders getting out of the car, the director and producer hadn’t expected to get such a benefit. They quickly went up, greeting and shaking hands.

The staff and cast members present were all very excited. No matter how big the entertainment industry is, one can mostly only reach the fashion and business investors, and it’s difficult to truly reach them without a top-tier status. But these big shots from politics are absolutely rare to encounter; it’s hard to get in touch with such a truly high-level circle, regardless of one’s status.

Even Tong Yuanyuan, who prided herself on having Jin Yuanshan as a godfather to cover her, followed the director with a passionate smile, trying to make her presence felt. Not to mention the other minor actors, who, just moments ago, seized the time when no one was watching to hide and touch up their makeup—truly a picture of human reality.

Shi Su’s cold from falling into the water the other day hadn’t completely cleared up. After each scene, besides listening to the director talk about the play, apart from the time spent reading the script, she almost wished she could close her eyes and rest in the car. Now that she didn’t have to film, she was eager to return to the hotel and sleep.

At the end of the crowd, she looked in the direction everyone was watching and suddenly saw one of the business cars stop, with Zhou He getting out of the passenger seat and respectfully going to the back to open a car door.

As Jing Jihan’s cold and upright figure appeared in the line of everyone’s sight, Shi Su seemed to unintentionally raise a hand to smooth her forehead. Then she seemed to find her forehead itchy, covering it with her hand repeatedly, before turning slightly to try to shield most of her face and finding a shaded spot to hide herself in the shadows.

"What’s wrong?" Wei Sinan somehow ended up near her, noticed Shi Su’s strange behavior, and walked over to ask with concern.

Wei Sinan, at 186 cm tall, is unquestionably eye-catching in a crowd. Standing by her side, he easily drew eyes in that direction.

Shi Su was touching her forehead while whispering, "Ah, it’s nothing, just allergic to UV rays, I’m shielding a bit."

Wei Sinan asked, "Didn’t use sunscreen before makeup?"

"Just now the director called it a wrap, and after returning to the car, I removed my makeup and haven’t had time to apply it."

Wei Sinan nodded knowingly and suddenly called over an assistant wearing a hat from behind him. He took the black hat off the assistant’s head without saying a word, adjusted the hat size in his hand, and then placed it on Shi Su’s head.

Shi Su: "?"

"Seems like it’s still a bit big." Wei Sinan pressed down her head which was about to rise, stood beside her, and gently adjusted the hat size on her head again.

Jing Jihan got out of the car and walked while talking in a low voice with several leaders from Jiang City’s Construction Bureau. When the crowd by the crew automatically stood aside to make a path, the director rushed forward to show presence and familiarize faces.

Just as he was about to greet the legendary president of Yu Jing Group, it was unclear what direction Mr. Jing suddenly looked toward. His calm and undisturbed expression became extremely indifferent. Even Zhou He, who was following half a meter behind, felt the sort of "no entry for strangers" aura surrounding Mr. Jing quickly solidifying into shattered ice in the air; colorless and shapeless, yet making one shiver unexpectedly.

At the end of the crowd, Wei Sinan checked the hat on Shi Su’s head: "Although the style is a bit large, it’s good for sunshade. Just keep wearing it."

Shi Su was somewhat unused to the enthusiasm of this recently popular actor but instinctively pressed the brim down, moved a step aside, keeping a distance while saying, "Thanks."

"No problem, UV allergy really isn’t comfortable. If the skin gets scratched, applying makeup later would be torturous."

Shi Su seemed to agree profoundly, nodding without paying attention to the direction ahead, continuing to instinctively press the brim down further, thinking that with the hat already on, why don’t you just leave? If you want to stir rumors, go find Tong Yuanyuan. Please don’t come looking for me, a single mom can’t handle this.

Wei Sinan seemed not to notice her distant demeanor and still stood by her side, his tall figure incidentally shielding her behind the crowd, indeed providing excellent cover for Shi Su.

Well, at least she thought so unilaterally.

"The few who came are all prominent figures in Jiang City; usually, you don’t even get to meet them face-to-face." Wei Sinan suddenly started educating her: "The two ahead should be the directors of the Construction Bureau and Resource Bureau of Jiang City. Those talking and laughing leisurely behind are not ordinary figures either, especially over there, wearing a dark brown leather jacket, that’s a famous real estate mogul from Jiang City."

Shi Su casually replied, "Oh, they’re all quite amazing."

"One amongst the crowd is even rarer to see." Wei Sinan pointed his chin in that direction: "Yu Jing Group Chairman and President, Jing Jihan."

Shi Su nodded earnestly, "So rare to see and yet you know, quite impressive."

Wei Sinan chuckled lightly, "I enjoy acting, though my father has some business in Jiang City. I don’t typically encounter someone like Mr. Jing, but I’ve been somewhat exposed to business matters."

Shi Su glanced at him again: "So you’re the rumored type who won’t act seriously and will go home to inherit billions?"

Wei Sinan laughed, "Not that exaggerated. If I had billions to inherit, would I still need to act with female idols? Self-torture?"

Shi Su: "..."

She suppressed herself from smiling too obviously. Yet, even if she tried to keep it subtle, after whispering with Wei Sinan, a faint smile was still evident on her face in the crowd.

Tong Yuanyuan, having eavesdropped nearby for a while, suddenly turned her head and interjected coldly, "Wei Sinan, is acting painful with female idols? Would the promo period of the drama with **cp** rumors be even worse? Should I announce you and Shi Su as a couple now?"

Wei Sinan glanced at her, smiling faintly, showing no embarrassment from being caught saying something, without intending to explain his words. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

He simply didn’t think highly of her.

Tong Yuanyuan fumed, cast another cold glance at Shi Su, scoffing, "Educating her on useless information like this makes what’s the point? Even if you pushed her before those few, just approaching, she wouldn’t recognize anyone. Especially someone like Mr. Jing, a lofty figure. Standing upfront, she resembles the tea-serving girl, not presentable, can’t climb without a ladder."

The director at the front seemed to have said something, catching the attention of a few leaders, suddenly laughed while pointing to this part of the crowd: "It’s indeed a coincidence, the three lead actors are standing right there but seem to have social anxiety, didn’t take the initiative to greet, don’t mind them."

In an instant, the gaze from those big shots at the front turned directly toward this direction.
