Chapter 633: Beijing’s Rising Star, Gu Jiajie
Gu Jiajie arrived.
He’s now a somewhat well-known figure in Beijing.
Not only is he the boss of Shijiu Entertainment Company, but he’s also one of the owners of Hundred Flavors Pavilion, which has nearly a hundred branches in the country, making him a notable figure in Beijing.
Although he hasn’t reached the heights of aristocratic families or the status of old-money tycoons, he is considered one of the nouveau riche in Beijing.
Gu Jiajie didn’t come alone; he brought his sister, Gu Minmin, with him.
As soon as they stepped into Night Paradise, Mo Leen, who was chatting with someone not far away, quickly approached them.
"Boss—"
The other person was very beautiful, with a particularly refined temperament. Her pure and pleasant appearance made people feel good about her.
Gu Jiajie smiled and nodded at her, smelling the faint scent of alcohol on her, and lightly frowned: "Director Cheng said you have a night scene to shoot tonight, drink less."
Mo Leen playfully stuck out her tongue at him and smiled, saying, "Got it!"
Gu Minmin glanced indifferently at Mo Leen, seemingly uninterested, and quickly withdrew her gaze.
Her eyes wandered to the bustling hall, and suddenly her expression changed.
In the distance, a man dressed in a neat suit and chatting amicably with others was none other than Qiu Qianghai.
Beside him, a sensuous woman clung to his arm, looking very intimate.
"Minmin?"
A voice calling her name sounded beside her ear, bringing Gu Minmin back as she turned her head to look at her brother.
"What’s wrong?"
"It’s time to go." Gu Jiajie gave her a deep look.
"Oh—"
Gu Minmin looked around for Mo Leen but found she was nowhere to be seen and didn’t know when she had left.
She followed her brother as they walked to the center of the hall.
As they moved, she realized that the direction seemed a bit off.
Her brother was clearly heading towards Qiu Qianghai.
This made her slightly tighten the hold on her brother’s arm.
"Brother Hai!"
Gu Jiajie, unaware of his sister’s thoughts, led the way straight to Qiu Qianghai, greeting him with a smile even before approaching.
Seeing Gu Jiajie, Qiu Qianghai’s smile became more genuine: "Jiajie is here, you’re quite the busy man now!"
He exchanged a few polite words with the person beside him, then led the woman next to him towards Gu Jiajie.
From beginning to end, he didn’t glance at Gu Minmin, treating her like a stranger.
"How could I compare to Brother Hai? I heard Omo recently made a big deal with the United States, I haven’t congratulated you yet."
"A small deal, not worth mentioning—"
As they exchanged pleasantries, Gu Jiajie suddenly glanced at the woman beside Qiu Qianghai, momentarily stunned, and then his face showed a subtly ambiguous smile: "Brother Hai, you’re quite lucky with women."
Qiu Qianghai didn’t look back; he gently patted the hand of the woman clinging to his arm, then gracefully held her hand.
He smiled charmingly and gentleman-like: "Nini is great."
Nini, who was Le Jiani, visibly changed her expression when she saw Gu Jiajie.
When the conversation turned to her, she hurriedly nodded to Gu Jiajie: "Boss—"
Qiu Qianghai’s eyes narrowed slightly, then quickly returned to normal, with his smile unchanged.
Gu Minmin lowered her gaze, seemingly uninterested in everything before her.
Hearing Le Jiani address him as boss, Gu Jiajie smiled, but the smile didn’t reach his eyes: "I thought you looked familiar, turns out you’re an artist from our company."
Le Jiani took a deep breath and quickly explained: "Boss, I was already with Brother Hai before I signed with the company."
"I didn’t say anything else, no need to explain, Brother Hai isn’t an outsider—"
"Done talking?!"
Gu Minmin interrupted with a voice full of impatience.
