The Secret of Second Marriage

I felt my heart racing, and my blood was boiling.

It's not because I have feelings for General Manager Lin, but when so much cash is piled up in front of me, I think any woman would feel tempted!

Yes, it's the lure of money.

Seeing my stunned expression, General Manager Lin's lips slowly curled up, his eyes filled with desire and a smile that seemed to want to conquer me.

I've always heard in the news that after a female celebrity becomes a star, many wealthy people will spend lavishly to win her favor, but I never expected this to happen to me. Moreover, the other party's intention was very clear: as long as I'm willing to give him this money, I can take as much as I want.

General Manager Lin walked up to me, and the atmosphere became ambiguous. Like a victor, he smiled and said, "Ms. Jiang, have you made up your mind?"

"Have you run out of tricks?"

I took a few steps back, looking at him with some wariness and defensiveness.

"What are you talking about?"

General Manager Lin was stunned for a moment, not understanding what I meant.

I scoffed: "How many times have you used this method to pursue how many girls?"

"Miss Jiang, we're both adults. I'll get straight to the point: if you spend the night with me, all this money is yours. How about it? This deal seems pretty good, right?"

General Manager Lin looked at me like I was prey.

I know I am now many times more beautiful than before.

Being an artist or celebrity involves skincare, makeup, weight loss, and body sculpting—all of which can transform an ordinary person into a stunningly beautiful and elegant woman.

Besides, I have a pretty good foundation.

But I never expected to encounter a pervert while out taking pictures of men.

Honestly, how many women can resist the temptation of tens or hundreds of thousands, or even millions, in one night?

When I was a full-time housewife, I was very frugal, and my annual living expenses would not exceed 10 yuan. These millions of yuan are a huge sum of money in front of me.

It's important to know that in China today, most ordinary families only earn tens of thousands of yuan a year.

My expression turned serious as I said, "Mr. Lin, this money isn't enough to buy what I believe in, and it violates my conscience and bottom line. Please leave!"

"Won't you reconsider?"

General Manager Lin frowned, seemingly surprised that I hadn't been tempted by money and lost myself and my soul as he had hoped...

"There is a type of woman in this world who is unwilling to sell her dignity and soul. Do you know what my ex-husband did? I helped him start from scratch, was his virtuous wife, and assisted him to the position of vice president."

He earns a million a year, lives in a luxury car and mansion, and has stocks and funds, yet he's keeping a mistress on the side. I'll leave with nothing and get a divorce. I don't even want that kind of life as a rich wife, let alone millions!

I said with a cold laugh.

"Don't be so high and mighty. I don't believe you wouldn't be tempted by that much money."

General Manager Lin approached me, took off his suit jacket, unbuttoned his shirt collar, revealing his strong chest muscles, tall stature, and refined face.

He approached me step by step, seducing me, and said intimately, "Miss Jiang, we're both mature men and women. We can go to bed and chat. If we're both physically satisfied, then we can talk about feelings?"

These blatant words of love sent chills down my spine. It's true that in the business world of entertainment, desires can easily fester in places where the sun doesn't shine.

To stop his reckless behavior, I took out my phone, dialed 110, and held the phone up so the screen was facing him. I said, "I'm not the kind of woman you think I am. Please behave yourself, or I'll call the police."

He looked at the screen repeatedly, then at me, and after confirming that I wasn't joking, he carefully put all the money scattered on the coffee table back into his bag, one by one. Then he said disdainfully, "I never thought there would be women who don't love money these days. I've really opened my eyes."

Has this man finally stopped pretending?

After packing his bag, he left my hotel room looking disappointed.

I took a deep breath and thought to myself with some disdain that the so-called General Manager Lin was probably just a hypocrite. On the surface, he looked like a refined and abstinent rich second-generation, but in private, he only knew how to throw money at women.

I imagine there must be many women in this city who have been bribed by him.

I won't fall for such a fickle woman.

After General Manager Lin left, Yu Xiang knocked on the door and, after confirming that I was safe, said, "Girl, we're heading back to Hengdian tonight. Luckily, this trip wasn't dangerous. I'll refund your money when we get back."

"Need not"

I said, "Brother, business is business, and personal relationships are personal relationships. They can't be mixed up. That 5 yuan is just the down payment; there's still the balance to be paid. Once this GG deal is over and I get the GG endorsement fee, I'll transfer the rest of the money to you."

Yu Xiang asked me curiously, "What's the matter with that CEO Lin who keeps contacting you? Is he really pursuing you? But I have to remind you, in a place where you don't know anyone, never trust men too easily, or you'll be sold out and still be counting the money for him."

I know what I'm doing.

I nodded and told Yuxiang that General Manager Lin had brought a lot of money to the hotel to confess his feelings to me and ask me to be his girlfriend.

Yu Xiang remained silent for a long time before saying, "Sis, you did the right thing. Want me to help you investigate this person?"

"No need. He's just a passerby to me. I don't want to waste my time and energy on someone insignificant."

Forget it, whatever tricks he tries, as long as I don't fall for them.

I shook my head.

I don't care about this General Manager Lin. I just want to finish filming as soon as possible, leave Yunnan, and return to the film set to continue filming.

After leaving my hotel room, General Manager Lin returned to his company office and made a phone call to Xia Weiwei, who was in Beijing, from the floor-to-ceiling window.

He had studied abroad and happened to be classmates with Xia Weiwei overseas, and was also one of Xia Weiwei's suitors.

They and their friends often hung out together when they were abroad.

Unfortunately, Xia Weiwei didn't like him.

However, this time Xia Weiwei took the initiative to contact him, asking him to use money and beauty to seduce another woman into making a mistake.

After General Manager Lin answered the phone, he said to Xia Weiwei, "Weiwei, I'm sorry, I messed up the task you assigned me."

"How could that be? Back when you were abroad, you never failed to win over a girl."

Xia Weiwei was a little surprised.

General Manager Lin said, "She looks a bit like you, Weiwei. I was quite surprised when I first saw her. Maybe it's because we haven't known each other for long, and she doesn't trust me enough yet."

I brought several million dollars in cash to her hotel today, but she still passed the test and let me leave.

She's a very opinionated woman with a very clear head. Weiwei, you've met your match.

"Lin Jie, I'll remember this favor. Thank you for helping me. But I don't want to fail like this. Could you seduce her one more time tonight before she returns to Hengdian? If you succeed, I'll have my dad introduce a big order to your Lin family."

Xia Weiwei's voice on the phone was clear and gentle, yet tinged with a hint of pitifulness.

Seeing his dream girl looking like an innocent little rabbit in front of him, General Manager Lin was moved.

He said, "Okay, I'll try again tonight, Weiwei. But we agreed that I won't do anything illegal. After all, our company is so big here. Although my family is a local bigwig and has connections everywhere in Xishuangbanna."

But, this is a society governed by the rule of law, and Ms. Jiang has over a million followers online and is accompanied by several bodyguards. I can't touch her. Do you understand what I mean?

"Lin Jie, if you can seduce her and make her stay the night, when we get back to Hengdian the next day, she'll be ruined, President Jiang will break up with her, she'll lose everything..."

Xia Weiwei said.

I will try my best.

Lin Jie said.

This playboy rich kid may not have many other skills, but he certainly has some tricks up his sleeve when it comes to chasing women.

……

We will continue the live broadcast on time starting at 3 PM.

I am very dedicated. I arrived at the factory's live broadcast room at 3 o'clock sharp. All the staff in the live broadcast room were already there. Dozens of mobile phones were pointed at me, as well as teleprompters and screens. Fortunately, I had memorized the content of the live broadcast in advance.

I was broadcasting live on screen the whole time, and by the time I finished work it was already past 8 p.m.

I booked a flight at midnight. After the live stream, I had to rush to the airport, grab a quick bowl of instant noodles, and then hurry onto the plane.

But I didn't expect that an accident would happen in the live broadcast room when it was almost over. There was a chandelier above my head, and for some reason it swayed a few times and then fell straight down, almost hitting my head. If those glass shards had gotten into my face, my face might have been disfigured.

I was taken aback. At this critical moment, I never expected that General Manager Lin would rush over, shield me in his arms, and throw me to the ground beside him, blocking most of the broken glass...

The crystal chandelier fell to the ground, but thankfully we were all unharmed.

General Manager Lin was slightly injured. He cut his hands with broken glass while trying to save me, and his head was also cut. Bright red blood dripped down, which terrified me.

General Manager Lin still maintained a tender demeanor in front of me, asking, "Ms. Jiang, are you alright?"

Yu Xiang and two bodyguards quickly arrived and pulled me away from the dangerous scene. Then, using the disinfectant alcohol, tweezers, and bandages they carried with them, they treated Mr. Lin's wound and bandaged it. Fortunately, there was nothing seriously wrong.

After General Manager Lin finished bandaging his wound, I went to the lounge to see him. I saw that he had a bandage on his head and bandages on his hands, and I couldn't help but say two words: Thank you.

General Manager Lin said, "You're welcome, Ms. Jiang. From now on, please don't call me General Manager Lin. Just call me Lin Jie."

"Then you can call me Jiang Man too."

I also introduced myself.

General Manager Lin smiled and said to me, "From now on, we're friends."

"Okay, from now on we're friends. Don't hesitate to ask if you need anything from me."

I say.

Lin Jie was poised and elegant in speech. He suddenly made a request: "Man, could you stay tonight? I'll take you out for a late-night snack and a drive. Tomorrow morning, I'll drive you to the flower market in Yunnan, okay?"

"Sorry, work is more important. I only have two days off this time. After filming 'GG,' I have to catch a flight back to Hengdian tonight."

I say.

A hint of disappointment flashed in Mr. Lin's eyes. Pointing to the wound on his head, he smiled and said, "Miss Jiang, I got hurt for you. Are you so heartless that you can't even stay in Yunnan for me for one day?"

I know I can't keep you forever, but at least let's have one day together, a day to look at the flowers and stroll around the streets.

I haven't seen you wear traditional Dai clothing from Xishuangbanna yet. I'll have a set custom-made for you, complete with flowers and jewelry. Man, you'll look absolutely stunning in it!"
