Chapter 549 - 295: The Boss’s Happiness 2

"Thank you, Auntie."

Jin Ying breathed a sigh of relief, unable to hide the joy in her voice.

"How many times have I told you? Use my title when we’re on the phone."

"Oh, right. Thank you, Chairman He."

"Alright, I’m heading to bed. Your uncle has a government meeting to attend tomorrow."

Hearing the call end, Jin Ying deliberately reapplied her lipstick before walking out of the restroom.

"Chairman Qi, I’ve successfully completed the mission. Chairman He has agreed to your proposal. We will gather the funds as soon as possible."

"A pleasure doing business with you."

Qi Sheng naturally noticed Jin Ying had put on lipstick, but he had no intention of flirting with her.

’For a casual fling, a ’princeling’ with a background as deep as hers might be worth considering.’

’But there’s no need to let it get any deeper.’

’But Jin Ying’s ’special score’ is quite high, so she’s clearly not some easy lay.’

’So, it’s best not to get involved.’

"Chairman Qi, I happen to be free for the next few days. If it’s convenient for you, I was hoping to..."

Before Jin Ying could finish her invitation, Qi Sheng cut her off.

"Sorry, President Jin, I have something else to attend to. Please excuse me."

Qi Sheng didn’t need to think to know this girl was after him for his looks.

’So shallow!’

’If she were just some ordinary girl...’

’He wouldn’t mind giving her a chance to throw herself at him.’

Watching the man who had practically fled, Jin Ying gritted her teeth and clenched her fists.

In her entire life, this was the first time she had been rejected so bluntly.

You’d think she was some kind of monster.

"Trying to run?"

A fire lit in Jin Ying’s eyes as she scoffed, "In your dreams!"

...

「Back in the suite.」

Still sound asleep, Jiang Shuying felt a familiar sense of being filled.

She knew without even thinking that it had to be Qi Sheng.

Qi Sheng’s bodyguards were all outside; not even a fly could get in.

"You’re terrible. So fired up this early in the morning? Didn’t you have enough yesterday?"

Carried into the living room by Qi Sheng, Jiang Shuying was no longer sleepy. She murmured, her eyes sultry and alluring.

"This is nothing. I only let you off yesterday because I could see you couldn’t take it anymore."

Qi Sheng supported Jiang Shuying with one arm, displaying incredible core strength.

"Darling, why don’t I call a few friends for you? If you have all this energy to burn, it’s better to have more people to release it on."

Jiang Shuying was also complaining endlessly to herself. She had an idea to drag other female celebrities into the mess.

They were artists from other companies anyway, so it wouldn’t affect her own interests.

At most, they would just get some benefits from Qi Sheng.

For Qi Sheng, that was just a drop in the bucket.

"You mean those female celebrities from back home?"

Qi Sheng asked while he was busy.

"Mmm... Mimi is here too... and Reba. I don’t believe you’re not interested in them!"

Jiang Shuying said in broken phrases, her brow furrowed.

"Perfect. My yacht is currently at Sardinia Island in Italy. You can invite them, and you can all go diving at sea together."

Qi Sheng didn’t plan to invite them personally, instead using Jiang Shuying’s name.

"Hmph, I knew you had your eyes on them."

Jiang Shuying rolled her eyes but wasn’t jealous.

Mainly because she wasn’t in a position to be. If it were Gu Pan, that might be a different story.

As for Yang Mi and Reba, she was actually quite at ease.

Those two are deeply tied to Jiahang; it would be hard for them to run even if they wanted to.

Even if something happened with Qi Sheng, it wouldn’t affect their own interests.

When Qi Sheng was sitting comfortably on the sofa,

Jiang Shuying meticulously cleaned up, then went to the bathroom to wash up.

Opening Weibo, he could see the trending topics about female celebrities vying for attention at Milan Fashion Week.

Besides that, there were the trending topics bought by Lemon Film and Television, the producers of *Thirty Years Old*.

As one of the three female leads, Gu Pan’s popularity had also clearly risen.

The well-prepared PR department skillfully began buying up trending spots.

They managed the influx of new, active fans in a well-organized manner.

The show had only been airing for a few hours, and Gu Pan’s followers had already grown to 500,000.

By the time the show finished its run, getting to 5 million followers wouldn’t be a problem.

Beauty is a female celebrity’s greatest asset.

And it just so happened that Gu Pan’s looks were in a league of their own in the Chinese entertainment industry.

Even someone like Reba could at most be considered an exceptional beauty.

She didn’t reach the level of a world-class stunner.

Young, beautiful, with a great figure and acting skills.

Even if the company didn’t buy trending topics for her, Gu Pan’s popularity would sooner or later surpass Jiang Shuying’s.

Universal Entertainment wasn’t short on cash; making Gu Pan a star as quickly as possible was the top priority.

The money spent on trending topics could be earned back from the fans sooner or later.

"Stop looking. Weibo is full of comments praising your little girlfriend!"

Jiang Shuying said with a sour tone as she walked over after washing up.

"Don’t worry. Once *Flowing Golden Years* airs, public opinion about you will do a complete one-eighty."

Qi Sheng naturally wrapped his arm around Jiang Shuying, and she played the part of a demure woman, snuggling into his embrace.

"Some of these anti-fans’ comments really piss me off so much I want to go and argue with them directly. I’ve never been known for my acting, so do they really need to chase me down on my Weibo to mock me about it?"

Jiang Shuying pointed to a few comments under her own Weibo post.

They were all slamming her, saying her acting was getting worse and worse, not even as good as the newcomer in the show, Gu Pan.

"Don’t pay them any mind. You’d be better off spending that time reading scripts and polishing your acting skills."

Qi Sheng glanced at it and then paid it no more attention.

"My acting is great now! Even if I can’t compare to Panpan, I’m still way better than Xiaotong."

Jiang Shuying was full of confidence, experiencing for the first time the joy of looking down on someone else’s acting skills.

"I wouldn’t be so sure about that."

Qi Sheng shook his head with a smile.

He had improved Mao Xiaotong’s acting skills as well.

Just like Jiang Shuying, she was at an 85-point level.

That was a level of skill usually possessed only by veteran actors.

Acting in movies would be no problem, let alone a TV series.

"I just asked Mimi. They’ve just gotten over their jet lag. How about we all have dinner together tonight? They have their own separate schedules tomorrow."
