Shi Su had no choice but to see the building not far away. Updates are released by novel⚑fire.net The Yu Jing Group headquarters is located right in the center of the financial street in the city center, with two connected buildings nearby. The structure between them is a geometric multi-level design. The seemingly simple and understated words "Yu Jing Group" on the building hide a high-tech interior that reflects different lights as the weather and temperature change, showing an extraordinary nature under its low profile. Shi Su withdrew her gaze, lowered her head to pick up the script, trying hard to focus on it. Just someone who appeared in her life over a month, purely by coincidence. She couldn’t overthink it. But the words on the script before her eyes mysteriously transformed into scenes: being sprayed by a man with a shower head in the bathroom, she screamed in anger; wearing a huge neck brace at home, walking sideways like a crab, ordering the man to fetch medicine and water for her, asking him to go downstairs to meet Shi Mianmian; the man standing in the kitchen, making breakfast for her and her daughter, Shi Mianmian taking big bites of the steak he made, praising its taste and saying she wants more in the future... Shi Su immediately closed the script in her hands, closed her eyes, and sat silently in the car as if asleep, not saying a word until they arrived at the set, where she got out and dashed into the dressing room without a word. The dressing room was filled with various gossip-mongers, all waiting for her. Seeing Shi Su walk in appearing in good spirits, they couldn’t help but sneak glances her way. It’s hard to figure out what background Shi Su has. To suddenly turn the tables in such a severe situation like yesterday, where it seemed she would be completely defeated. Especially when, an hour ago, Shi Yunyin suddenly posted an apology and clarification on Weibo, over a thousand words long. The main content was that she originally wanted to like a post from a colleague in the same crew, but accidentally switched to her fiancé Yi City’s Weibo account, didn’t realize she had made a mistake, which led to such a big public uproar, for which she was deeply sorry. She also explained that Shi Su and Yi City did not know each other, and there were no photos or videos to support the previous rumors, hoping fans and netizens would stop disturbing Shi Su. Everyone was waiting to see Shi Su’s drama unfold, but it ended with Shi Yunyin, known for never losing online battles, publicly apologizing on Weibo. Furthermore, Four Seas Entertainment simultaneously issued a statement, announcing a thorough investigation into the rumor-mongering about the non-existent relationship between Yi City and Shi Su, pursuing legal accountability for the gossip accounts and those behind them. Shi Su’s unexpected comeback was quite beautifully executed. But it was also incredibly bizarre... Those who once secretly spread the rumors, like makeup artists, and staff who deliberately sabotaged Shi Su, were all feeling anxious inside. The usually noisy dressing room, packed with people every day, fell eerily silent since Shi Su entered. Mianmian came in with a thermos cup to deliver water to Shi Su, sensed the strangeness around but roughly guessed the reason, didn’t bother giving those who follow the wind any good face, and walked up to Shi Su to place the cup down, whispering, "Shi Su, Jun is here, waiting for you in the car." "I’ll go over after my makeup is done." This was the first thing Shi Su said since she arrived. She had just seen the recent developments on Weibo, the apology, and clarification from Shi Yunyin. Clearly, it wasn’t written by her, either by the PR department called in by Yi City or by Shi Yunyin’s staff. Anyway, given Shi Yunyin’s temper, she would never write something so tactful and self-preserving willingly. Shi Su’s Weibo followers continued to grow, and the content in her DMs shifted from a continuous stream of insults to various questions and curiosities. Curious about her identity, nosy about who was backing her. Of course, Shi Yunyin’s fans kept scolding her while accusing her of relying on some old man or patron, threatening to investigate and report her. From beginning to end, from the event’s occurrence to conclusion, Shi Su never responded with a single word on Weibo. Instead, her calm and mysterious demeanor made people more eager to explore, and her attention only increased. Shi Yunyin was stuck at home, picking up her phone with its screen shattered, looking at the very official apology text on her Weibo, her lips pressed into a cold, stiff line. Suddenly, she picked up another phone, dialed a number: "Send me that video you recorded outside Shi Su’s house at the kindergarten entrance last time." After receiving the reply, Shi Yunyin hung up the call and turned her gaze back to the shattered phone. Very strange, she had sent someone to closely watch Shi Su, but nothing specific could be photographed near Shi Su’s house. All surveillance footage came out either dark or as invalid files. The only thing caught was at a public kindergarten two streets away from Shi Su’s house, where it was said she occasionally appeared nearby. Although nothing worth investigating was caught, the fact that Shi Su often appeared near a kindergarten, wasn’t that a matter worth delving into? In the geometric multi-level structured buildings to the sides of the Yu Jing Group headquarters, the south-facing building housed the Yu Jing Group’s employee offices, while the other housed facilities like a gym, restaurant, exhibition hall, electronic conference room, and other hotel-style modern amenities. Once officially employed at Yu Jing Group, staff could use their work ID cards to enjoy company benefits in the other building during lunch breaks or work intervals, including work meals that rivaled five-star hotel set meals. Employee salary and benefits were generous, but it wasn’t a place one could enter the building simply with a diploma. Yu Jing Group’s recruitment barrier was high, even filtering out half of the finance masters returning from overseas study for interviews. The remaining half, while retained, still faced a probationary period where their ability to stay depended entirely on their work skills and capabilities. At exactly one in the afternoon, in Yu Jing Group’s electronic conference room, dozens of laptops were regularly arranged on the conference table, all directors were present, and Mr. Jing was assisted in with a cane into the meeting room. Until nearly an hour had passed in the meeting, Jing Yuanbin gave a signal to several directors who came with him. It was to finalize the news that Jing Jihan had passed away a month ago and to force Mr. Jing to relinquish company management rights. From the vote shares for board participation to the step-by-step maneuvering till now, Jing Yuanbin had everything arranged. As long as Mr. Jing conceded to the news of Jing Jihan’s death, everything would finally be settled. The debate among the directors in the meeting room was heated. At 2:10 PM, three black sedans drove in sequence into the square in front of Yu Jing Group’s office building. Ahead was a Maybach leading the way, flanked by a starkly cold and dazzling black Bentley that pulled straight into the central hall entrance.
