Chapter 103: Paparazzi

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

The venue of the cocktail party was the largest six-star hotel in the city, Joy Garden Hotel. The production team booked the entire banquet hall on the second floor and invited many entertainment media companies. Other than the actors of the production team, these media companies also brought their own artists.

When they heard that a mysterious figure would appear today, everyone guessed that it should be Wang Shen, who had just won the Golden Magnolia Award for Best Director. Moreover, there were rumors that he had just created a new script and was now looking for the male and female leads for his script.

He had just won the Golden Magnolia Award for Best Director, so he must be the most popular director in the entertainment industry at the moment. If one could act in his script, one might have a chance to become an A-list celebrity. After all, there were countless celebrities that had achieved fame because of Wang Shen.

The media had been waiting outside the hotel early in the morning. Although there was no red carpet, the appearance of various celebrities competing for the limelight would probably become a trending topic tomorrow.

Like Yuan Shu, Shi Lu didn’t like grand banquets, nor did she want to attract attention on the red carpet. Hence, the two of them asked Zhou Yan to park the car in the hotel parking lot from afar.

Initially, they thought that no one would be waiting in the parking lot, so Shi Lu and Yuan Shu didn’t wait. Instead, they walked straight to the elevator in the parking lot and prepared to go to the banquet hall on the second floor.

Before the two of them got into the elevator, they suddenly heard someone exclaim, “Shen Lu! It’s Shen Lu! Hurry up and take a photo of him. Who’s the person beside him? Don’t miss this scoop!”

Shi Lu knew that it was a reporter the moment he heard it, so he quickly pulled Yuan Shu into the elevator and pressed the button to close the elevator. However, the reporters were faster than the elevator door. Soon, two or three reporters rushed to the elevator door. The elevator couldn’t close because of the infrared sensor.

A reporter asked, “Shen Lu, may I ask if your dance partner today is a new artist your company is nurturing? Are you planning to bring her along to audition for Director Wang Shen’s new movie?”

Although there weren’t many reporters blocking the door, these reporters were too aggressive. Shi Lu was worried that Yuan Shu would get hurt in the crowd, so he shielded Yuan Shu behind him and used his slightly raised arm to protect her.

Another reporter squeezed into the elevator and passed by Shi Lu. Then, he looked straight at Yuan Shu, who was hiding behind her. “I heard that your company has signed many female artistes recently. Why are you the only one who can partner with Shen Lu? May I ask if you have a relationship with Shen Lu?!”

Shi Lu was filled with impatience. What he hated the most was reporters asking questions, especially when facing his most respected sister-in-law. Hence, he pushed the reporter’s microphone away as he said angrily, “Please watch your mouth!”

At this moment, Zhou Yan happened to rush over and used his burly body to block the reporters outside the elevator. Only when the elevator door closed and Shi Lu and Yuan Shu reached the second floor did Zhou Yan put down his arm that was used to block the reporters.

Zhou Yan heard the reporter who had been pushed away by Shi Lu say, “Hurry up and prepare the manuscript for tomorrow. The headlines will be that Shi Lu attacked for the sake of the newly debuted female artiste reporter from his company! This headline will definitely be on the trending searches tomorrow!”

Zhou Yan only felt that these people were very ridiculous. Shi Lu had clearly only pushed him away, but they were claiming that Shi Lu attacked a reporter. They were as good as distorting the truth as Chu Mei was.

He said impatiently, “I advise you not to write nonsense. Shen Lu’s female companion is the wife of Shi Corporation’s CEO and his sister-in-law! If you dare to write nonsense, you should know the consequences!”

When these reporters heard the mention of the Shi Corporation, their expressions changed. They were not arrogant enough to provoke the Shi Corporation. That was a company that could make them lose their jobs in minutes. They were just small fries who relied on public opinion to make a living. Protecting their jobs was more important!

Hence, everyone dispersed and returned to their previous hiding spot, preparing to wait for the next unlucky celebrity to come from the elevator.

On the way back, they discussed softly, “I didn’t expect the Madam of the Shi family to be so good-looking.. She’s even better-looking than those female celebrities now! It seems that the photos taken on the trending searches were real, and they didn’t fully capture her beauty!”
