Shen Shiyu saw Bo Siming's sinister expression for the first time. It scared her so much that goosebumps popped up all over her body. All she could do was nod frantically. She didn't dare to say a single extra word.
A Kun was fidgety. He took out his phone and sent a message to Xue Xiaoqi.
"General Manager Xue, General Manager Shen might be in trouble."
A quick reply came from the other end.
"What's going on?"
He glanced around furtively and typed quickly with a vigilant look.
"There are some people around. They've separated me from General Manager Shen."
Xue Xiaoqi immediately dispatched some people to Qiuling Hotel.
She was afraid that something might happen, so she had made preparations in advance.
Su Minghan was sitting in the control room, watching Xiao Shujing, who was the finale model on the runway. He stared at her intently, completely spellbound.
The silver suit fit her perfectly, as if it was tailor - made for her. It wasn't she who was conforming to the dress, but the dress that was enhancing her unique charm.
However, the color of the fabric that flashed across the camera was still a bit off.
This small flaw was perfectly compensated for by the amber cufflinks.
They were neatly clipped onto the suit buttons. Under the dim light, they were like natural ores nurtured by the moonlight, quite unique.
Especially with Xiao Shujing's cold - style makeup, it took this finale outfit to a whole new level. Her control of it was also extremely steady.
Su Minghan rubbed his chin, his mood complex.
Tian Danni watched the woman on the T - stage with a solemn expression.
"Phony!" Susan, standing beside her, couldn't help but mutter in a low voice.
Tian Danni gave her a discontented glance. "Can you please shut up?"
"Got it."
If it weren't for the loud noise around, those two words would definitely have been overheard. In such a big event, it's better to cause as few problems as possible.
Half an hour later, the T - stage show officially ended.
Su Minghan had already prepared a bouquet of flowers. He was waiting for the host to finish the closing remarks and start the awarding ceremony so that he could present the flowers to Xiao Shujing in person.
He had experienced such situations many times, but only this time did he not know whether he should be happy or not.
Just then, the assistant rushed over with the phone.
"General Manager Su, your call."
"Can't you see I'm about to go on stage to present flowers? Hang up," Su Minghan said unhappily.
"But... it's from the second young master of the Bo family," the assistant said with a pained expression.
Without a second thought, Su Minghan threw the flowers into the assistant's arms and snatched the phone.
He could ignore other people's calls, but not Bo Jingyu's.
Calling at this critical moment, something must have happened.
"Hello, it's me."
"Minghan, quickly send me the surveillance video from before the show started!"
Bo Jingyu's voice on the other end was urgent and hoarse.
"Okay, I'll immediately order someone to retrieve it!"
Without asking for the reason, he hung up the phone and trotted away.
"General Manager Su, what about these flowers?"
The assistant shouted helplessly from behind.
"You go and present them on my behalf!"
Xiao Shujing was standing on the stage in the spotlight. All the lights were shining on her. For the first time, she felt that this runway show was really fulfilling.
But what she was even more looking forward to was that Su Minghan would come on stage to present the flowers in person. Receiving the flowers from his hands would mean that there was still room for their relationship to improve.
Unconsciously, her fingers clutching the trophy turned white at the knuckles, and her heart was pounding.
A staff member ran over from the audience and whispered something in the host's ear. The host nodded and stepped onto the stage.
"Next, let's welcome Assistant Jiang from Su's Entertainment to come on stage and present flowers to Teacher Xiao, the spokesperson of this T - stage show!"
The audience burst into applause and cheers.
But only Xiao Shujing's smile froze.
Assistant Jiang?
Shouldn't it be Su Minghan?
She stared blankly at the person who wasn't the one she was expecting come up and offer the colorful bouquet of flowers in his arms.
"Teacher Xiao?"
Seeing that Xiao Shujing didn't reach out to take the flowers for a long time, the host reminded her.
"… Thank you." She came back to her senses and took the flowers awkwardly.
"We're really sorry. General Manager Su has something extremely important to deal with right now. Please forgive him, Teacher Xiao."
After saying that, Assistant Jiang quickly left the stage.
She could understand the nature of his work. He could be in Yancheng one second and then fly to another city to discuss cooperation the next.
When they were filming before, Su Minghan often did this.
But only this time, she had performed so well and so perfectly, yet he wasn't there and didn't present the flowers.
This made Xiao Shujing feel a bit uncomfortable.
Tian Danni stood up at this moment and picked up the bag on the small coffee table.
"Let's go."
"But you haven't attended the follow - up banquet yet," Susan wondered.
"That banquet is specially for the runway models. What would I go for?"
She walked straight towards the elevator without looking back.
"But you could meet a lot of well - known people there, like Manager Li from Juanyi and the young master of the Song family," Susan said.
Tian Danni waved her hand. "Not interested, not interested."
Suddenly, several staff members blocked their way.
"Sorry, ladies. No entry ahead."
Susan frowned. "Why not? The event is almost over."
The staff member smiled. "Mrs. Gan is introducing the company's new perfume to the other ladies ahead. If you're interested, please register first."
Tian Danni was already in a bad mood. Now seeing these people's smiling faces, which were as annoying as weasels, she got even angrier.
She pointed behind them. "I'm taking the elevator. I don't need any perfume. Get out of my way."
"Sorry, you can't for now."
"Are you guys looking for trouble?!" Susan rolled up her sleeves and was about to argue.
"Forget it. Let's take the other elevator."
Tian Danni pulled her arm and walked around with a bad mood.
"Come on, these people are obviously doing it on purpose. Why should we give in? If it weren't for that Xiao Shujing stealing your spot, the one standing on the stage and winning the award should be you!" Susan said indignantly.
"Okay, stop talking."
She carried her small bag and came out of the stairwell. As soon as she pushed open the door, she saw Su Minghan running out of the VIP elevator in a hurry.
"Hey!"
Hearing the noise, he turned around and stopped, out of breath.
"Why are you guys here?"
Tian Danni pointed at the T - stage in front. "Aren't you supposed to present the flowers?"
"Don't even mention it. Something urgent came up. By the way! Have you been drinking?"
Su Minghan asked nervously and anxiously.
"No."
As soon as she finished speaking, he took a quick step forward and grabbed her wrist.
"Quick, take me to Yancheng Hospital!"
Tian Danni's face flushed instantly. She had no idea what was going on and was just dragged by him towards the underground parking lot.
On the way, she kept stealing glances at Su Minghan's expression. He was so urgent that he seemed to wish he could fly to the destination on a pair of flying wheels.
"What's going on?"
He swallowed hard. "Something big has happened."
Tian Danni was also affected by his mood and became cautious.
"What big thing?"
Su Minghan turned his head and stared at her steadily.
"Didn't you hear anything sitting on the second floor?"
"No. I didn't notice anything unusual."
