Chapter 19 — So That's Why

　　Kang Zhong called Qin Jiran to inform him about the press conference. Qin Jiran needed to be there.

　　The details were left out, so Qin Jiran only knew that Su Yanyi was the one who gave the instructions and that the press conference would more or less be about their relations.h.i.+p. Towards this, he was a bit skeptical but not too surprised.

　　For people like them, who spend most of their time mingling in the entertainment circle, countering rumors with a press conference wasn't an uncommon occurrence. However, it was rare for Su Yanyi to do this. She was a prominent yet lowkey person.

　　Most of the time, she held enough power to control the public opinion; and yet, she seldom exposed herself to the public. It could be said that the name "Su Yanyi" was renowned, but only a few people knew about the woman herself.

　　Qin Jiran happened to be the opposite. He had a lowkey personality, but his activities were highkey, and he often appeared before the ma.s.ses. Though, as a celebrity, this was inevitable.

　　Because he would often go online at home, he wasn't oblivious to the discussions that were taking place. The speculations about him being kept by Su Yanyi and the whatnot really made him frown. However, Qin Jiran wasn't easily fooled either.

　　He was quick to discover that someone was purposely manipulating behind the scenes, and he had already sent his own people to investigate. For the time being, nothing useful had come up yet.

　　He hadn't expected Su Yanyi to act so quickly.

　　Afternoon rolled around. Lunch break happened to be an hour and a half before the start of the press conference. Qin Jiran headed for Su Yanyi's office, holding two lunchboxes in his hands.

　　This was something Kang Zhong had told him to do on the phone earlier, and unsurprisingly, it was by Su Yanyi's command.

　　Once again, he asked Kang Zhong to notify her first before he entered. Except, this time Kang Zhong told him that Su Yanyi had given instructions to just directly let him in from now on. Qin Jiran was surprised, but in the end, he still decided to knock first. His expression was stiff.

　　"Come in."

　　With considerable seriousness, he straightened out his clothes and steadily walked in.

　　Moments ago when she heard someone knock on her door, Su Yanyi had already gotten up from her chair. Seeing that it was Qin Jiran, she pointed to the lounge area of her office and said, "I'll go wash my hands, you can set the meal first."

　　This was Qin Jiran's first time stepping into the president's lounge. The dark blue color scheme clearly reflected Su Yanyi's own style: Cold, yet exquisite and elegant.
