Chapter 22 So That’s How It Is
Kang Zhong called Qin Jiran to attend a press conference. The details were not explained, he only mentioned it was Su Yanyi’s instruction, and it might relate to their relationship. Although Qin Jiran was somewhat puzzled, he wasn’t too surprised. For people like them in the entertainment industry, it was quite normal to hold press conferences when encountering such matters, although for Su Yanyi, this was rare.
Su Yanyi was someone with a high-profile persona but acted in a low-key manner. She could control the direction of public opinion in most media, yet rarely exposed herself to it. Or it could be said that everyone knew who Su Yanyi was, but very few knew the specifics.
On the contrary, Qin Jiran was low-key in person but high-profile in his actions, frequently in the public eye. However, as a star, this was inevitable.
In fact, Qin Jiran also surfed the internet when at home and naturally wouldn’t miss topics related to him and Su Yanyi. The claims that Su Yanyi was keeping him as a kept man really made him frown, but Qin Jiran wasn’t someone to be trifled with. He quickly realized that such reports were manipulated and immediately had people investigate. However, the leads were blurry, and no useful information had been found so far. Yet, he didn’t expect Su Yanyi to act so swiftly.
That afternoon, an hour before the press conference, which also happened to be lunchtime, Qin Jiran arrived at Su Yanyi’s office with two meal boxes in hand. This was something Kang Zhong specifically mentioned over the phone later on, naturally, at the behest of Su Yanyi.
Before entering, Qin Jiran still had Kang Zhong announce his arrival. However, Kang Zhong directly told him that Su Yanyi instructed him to enter directly, not just this time, but from now on as well.
This special treatment left Qin Jiran momentarily stunned, and he knocked on the door with a serious expression. After hearing the words "come in," he seriously adjusted his attire before stepping in with a firm stride.
Su Yanyi had already stood up upon hearing the knock. Seeing Qin Jiran enter, she pointed to the lounge inside the office and said, "I’m going to wash my hands, you can set up the meal."
It was Qin Jiran’s first time entering this lounge. The deep blue tone felt somewhat cold but was clearly Su Yanyi’s own style - cold yet refined and delicate. A small four-person dining table was placed in the corner on the left. Qin Jiran set up the food he brought, and soon Su Yanyi joined him.
