She awkwardly chuckled and gave a witty explanation. “President Ji, my father was afraid that he could not attend to you well, so he asked me to accompany you. In case you need anything, you can ask me anytime. After all, you are our special guest tonight.”
Ji Jinchuan gave her an indifferent glare and did not say anything further, only turning around to enter the banquet hall.
Shen Youran and Qiu Shaoze failed their mission again and decided to leave the hotel when the auction started.
Outside the hotel, Qiu Shaoze dispiritedly sat on the steps. “Youran, how about we just tell Chief Director Zhou to change the interviewee for this week’s celebrity interview? Eh, oh right—” He seemed to have remembered something. “You know President Gu?”
Both of them became partners due to this project, and after hanging out with him for a while, she realized that Qiu Shaoze was not bad as a person. She always treated her friends with sincerity. Hence, she did not want to hide from him. “He is my brother-in-law.”
Qiu Shaoze widened his eyes in astonishment and looked at her with wide-open eyes. It was not until a few moments passed that he silently calmed down his heart.
If President Gu was her brother-in-law and President Gu’s wife was the Big Missy of the Shen family, didn’t that make her the Second Missy of the Shen family?
She was the Second Missy of the Shen family!
His eyes became wider again. She was actually a young miss from a rich family!
In the end, a realization struck him. “No wonder Chief Editor Zhou asked you, a person from the editorial department, to interview Mayor He with me.”
Shen Youran was well aware of Chief Editor Zhou’s intention from the start. However, on account of her giving her this job and treating her well, she decided to take on this mission. Yet, the outcome just had to be so disappointing.
“Although I am Shen Yaoting’s daughter, Mayor He still doesn’t want to help me.”
Upon seeing her dejected expression, Qiu Shaoze consoled, “Just as you said, business and politics are not the same. Besides, Mayor He doesn’t have to be the one appearing on this week’s celebrity interview.”
“Really?” Chief Editor Zhou took very good care of her at the magazine agency, yet the mission was not progressing smoothly and there was almost a close to zero chance in completing it. Hence, she still felt like she let her down.
Upon seeing that glint of hope in her eyes, Qiu Shaoze could not bear to pour cold water on her, but he had to say the truth. “Unless Chief Editor Zhou doesn’t agree to change the interviewee.”
Both of them continued waiting outside of the hotel until the auction ended. A crowd of people came out of the hotel, and first among them was Ji Jinchuan, who was immediately surrounded by people the moment he walked out.
Shen Youran could not help but admit that this man was just like a dazzling star. No matter where he went, he always gave off an eye-catching glow.
With such a handsome appearance, muscular body, as well as a calm and restrained demeanor, he walked out of the hotel at a speed that was neither too fast nor too slow. Yet, with him at the front, everyone behind him seemed as if they were born to make him look good.
While she was going into a daze, Qiu Shaoze’s sharp eyes noticed He Zimin walking out of the hotel and quickly dragged her toward him as he wanted to make one final attempt.
Both of them had just walked a little closer to him when He Zimin immediately furrowed his eyebrows while giving them an icy cold glare. “Would the two of you cut it out?!”
Qiu Shao pleaded with him in a soft voice, “Mayor He, we need just a few minutes of your time to do a simple interview. The ME Magazine Agency would not write nonsense like how other entertainment news agencies do. Please give us a chance.”
Those people who came to the charity drive today were all people with status and power, which was why they did not have the curiosity of a commoner. They only turned around to take a few glances and did not stay to observe further.
He Zimin had completely lost his patience and looked at them with his eyes filled with disdain. His stiff expression slowly darkened, and it looked as if he was going to lose his temper until his secretary behind him tug on his clothes and shook his head at him.
