Chapter 507: Cherry in hot soup.
Jiang Cherry was a good photojournalist, too good in fact because she somehow always managed to find herself in the right place to capture the perfect picture. It was not because of luck, it was because she paid off many sources in the media world and police stations that would feed her different tips. Ever since she returned, she had slowly built herself a solid reputation as an excellent photojournalist and many media companies would pay handsomely for her pictures and videos, especially the ones where she was the first to arrive at the scene of a crime or scandal.
This was why she found herself in hot soup today, after receiving a tip that the secretary of the ministry for housing was receiving sexual favors from some construction and real estate agencies to share information on government planned projects, she did not think that much would come out of it but she followed him anyway. It was around seven o’clock in the evening, he was probably going home to sleep because this was his usual route from the office, she had checked his movements thoroughly so she thought about turning around many times but perseverance won and she kept going. She maintained a distance of two cars in between them, not wanting to stand out but also not wanting his car out of her sight for a single second. Her heart skipped a small bit when he did not make the U-turn which would lead him to his home but continued going straight. She tailed him carefully and saw the car stop at a bus stop and the driver got out. The secretary got behind the wheel personally which according to the information she had on him was unusual.
Cherry sharpened her mouth and moved it around, "Tsk, tsk, I smell news." She said to herself. She followed him all the way to an old styled private restaurant on the old Shanghai street where he was met outside by two men in Black suits that bowed before him respectfully and then he was led inside.
Jiang Cherry parked her car, changed into a descent dress, put on heels and make up and then she walked to the entrance confidently like a graceful young lady from a rich family.
"I am sorry," the guard at the entrance stopped her. "This restaurant accepts only private reservations and the list is full for today."
Jiang Cherry enveloped herself with a rich heiress arrogant attitude and she pulled a black card from her bag.
"Move." She said harshly to the guard. "Unless you want me to make one call that will have this place shut down." She knew that being soft spoken would not get her inside but money and authority could.
The black card successfully stunned the guard and he said, "I will make a phone call."
"Tell your proprietor that Jiang Cherry is here, wife to Jun Muchen." It was not like her to use the name of the Jun’s but on the social hierarchy they were more powerful than the Jiang’s. All she needed was one or two pictures and she would be out of here. If only she knew how the peep star got such shots easily, she would emulate that individual too. In her mind her biggest rival was the peep star when it came to scoops but the peep star worked in the world of entertainment while she was in serious journalism. Other than taking pictures she was also genuinely curious about the happenings inside this restaurant.
