When she came out earlier and saw Mr. Jing lying on the recliner, his elderly frail state was quite apparent at that time, and she had been planning to remind him to take care of his health. Suddenly, hearing that strong, full-throated roar— Well, it seems she had imagined Mr. Jing as too old. Perhaps ten years later, this old man would still be lively and vigorous, able to chase people with a cane for three blocks. Before leaving the Jing Family in the afternoon, the old man had the household servants give Shi Su quite a lot of treats, some of which were supplements he often eats and uses, subtly reminding her that she was too thin and needed to eat more to be healthy. A healthy body leads to early marriage and a big, chubby great-grandson for him to hold. He also had the butler, Mr. Li, send some novel trinkets brought by guests the day before to Shi Su. Shi Su was determined not to accept them. But ultimately, she couldn’t resist the old man’s insistence. Plus, seeing the situation, Jing Jihan realized if she didn’t take them, the old man would nag until dark, so he gave her a look, suggesting she accept them peacefully. Eventually, Jing Jihan’s Bentley was filled as if loaded with holiday gifts and specialties upon returning home for the festival. Shi Su sat inside the car, occasionally glancing at the back seat piled high with things, increasingly feeling the holiday gifts vibe. "Has your car ever been filled with so many things before?" It felt like all this stuff crammed into the leather seats inside the car was a bit much for the car itself. "I was just putting on a show for Mr. Jing. I can’t use so many things anyway. You can take them to the company and see how to handle them." However, as it turned out, while dropping her off at Kaixing Mansion, Jing Jihan also helped her carry all those things upstairs. Shi Su stood at the door, looking at the piled-up items, utterly bewildered. Fresh chapters posted on 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝✶𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖✶𝕟𝕖𝕥 So many supplements, even the old man can’t finish them; how long would it take for a young person like her to get through them? They all looked quite expensive too, with ginseng, deer antlers, and various supplements. She felt she could easily get a nosebleed from casually making soup with them. She couldn’t simply give away the things Mr. Jing gave her as favors to others... Perhaps the next time Jing Jihan comes to her place for dinner, she should make him soup. After all, they are the Jing Family’s things. Shi Su’s final scene in "Yao Platform Trace" was scheduled for early morning, requiring her to be at the set before 7 AM. She initially planned to drive there herself, but the night before, Jun had some emergency on the set, and the tires of her own Land Rover had some issues, so Jun took Shi Su’s car. Driver Shen and Chu Jiu, responsible for the crew car, were unaware of where Shi Su was living at the moment. She hadn’t mentioned it yet, leading her to wake up early and start the day by calling for a car via app. After successfully booking a ride, she put on her coat, grabbed her script, and headed downstairs. Just as she reached the roadside, she suddenly saw a Passat parked there, and as she approached, the car flashed its hazard lights to catch her attention. This car looked familiar to her, so she wasn’t surprised at all when Lu Zhao got out of the car. Shi Su glanced around and realized the car she had booked was running late and hadn’t arrived yet. "No need to look further, Miss Shi Su," Lu Zhao said standing by the car door, "I’ll take you there." Shi Su suddenly turned to him: "How do you know I booked a car?" With a calm smile, Lu Zhao said, "Mr. Jing had used your phone number to bind with our company’s internal car booking system. Normally, whether it’s for official or personal use, the company uses the car booking software within the internal system for reservations. I received the booking under Mr. Jing’s name, but the phone number wasn’t his. Seeing the address, I guessed you needed the car, so I came over directly." Shi Su was surprised and quickly recalled her rather ridiculous car booking experience from months ago. So that’s why that Rolls-Royce had appeared out of nowhere — it was tied to this system! No wonder when she made the booking earlier; the interface looked so upscale, almost unmanageable, if she’d wandered into their company’s special booking channel. With time running out, Shi Su didn’t refuse Lu Zhao’s kind offer, but just after getting in the car, she asked, "Can my phone be unbound? Otherwise, it’ll be quite inconvenient if I need a car in the future." "There’s no inconvenience, Miss Shi Su. If you ever need, the company can send a car over, and if I’m available, I can come directly." "How can that be? I’m not an employee of your company, and if I haven’t driven my own car back, I frequently use ride-hailing services or call for cars. This messes with your company’s vehicle dispatching system. How do I unbind it, can you teach me?" Shi Su didn’t want to disrupt his driving, but was eager to unbind it. She seized the moment when he stopped at a traffic light to show him her phone and ask for help. "Although the phone number bound is yours, Miss Shi Su, the registered name is actually Mr. Jing. He granted you this access, so it’s probably not cancellable." Lu Zhao drove on, while Shi Su ceased pestering him. She kept pondering over how to unbind during the entire ride, eventually realizing it might only be possible by switching to another ride-hailing platform or changing her phone number — neither option was very feasible. This baffling connection between Jing Jihan’s name with her phone number meant she lacked the direct authority to unbind, unless Jing Jihan handled it for her. She tapped at her screen, ultimately giving up and asked, "So, was the car I ordered earlier yet another one of those Rolls-Royces?" Lu Zhao chuckled softly, "Either that or an even higher-level business car with exceptional privacy and security." Lu Zhao quietly drove on, just smiled without further explaining. Shi Su also suddenly went quiet. The answer was evident. Because in their company’s internal personnel verification system, the name displayed was — Jing Jihan. Even if Jing Jihan usually used his own car or had assistants manage the company’s specialized vehicles, with those three characters appearing, they couldn’t afford to be negligent. "If Miss Shi Su wishes for more convenience, feel free to call me directly next time," Lu Zhao commented, "This Passat is quite ordinary, but it’s my personal vehicle, which doesn’t require going through the company’s internal system, and I always use it when not at the company. It’s fairly convenient." Shi Su was reluctant to trouble him like that and simply steered the conversation away, "It’s so early now, after you drop me off, it’s nearly work time. Haven’t you had breakfast yet?" Lu Zhao: "I’ve got time, I can grab something at the employee cafeteria when I return to the company." Shi Su didn’t say much more, then suddenly asked him to stop the car for a few minutes when they passed a breakfast shop. When she returned to the car carrying breakfast and a cup of soy milk for Lu Zhao, he was momentarily surprised and then quickly, politely smiled while accepting, "Thank you, Miss Shi Su." Holding a cup of soy milk herself, Shi Su got back into the car and commented, "You’ve got a handsome smile, Mr. Lu, don’t always wear such a stern face. I have a friend working in law enforcement, she often carries a stern look too, which seems very unapproachable. Actually, people like you, aren’t that cold-hearted inside — how do you expect to find a girlfriend being such a stern-faced professional turning into a bachelor?" "Cough, cough cough..." Lu Zhao nearly choked on his soy milk.
