The Secret of Second Marriage

To be considerate of my feelings, President Jiang personally opened the car door for me and let me sit in the passenger seat. All of this was done under the watchful eyes of Shen Xing, who was watching from across the street not far away.

Shen Xing was pretending to be my staff member at that moment. He didn't say anything, but I could already sense his jealousy and grievance.

I waved to Shen Xing from a distance and said, "You go back first. I'll treat you to dinner later. You can have whatever you want. It's on me."

Shen Xing waved to me after hearing what I said, and stood by the roadside reluctantly to see me off.

I ultimately didn't sit in the front passenger seat, but instead chose a seat in the back.

I think the passenger seat is usually reserved for Mr. Jiang's girlfriend or future lover.

The car window slowly closed, and just as Mr. Jiang started the car and was about to leave, Shen Xing suddenly waved for me to stop, saying she had something to say to me…

But when President Jiang saw this, he immediately shifted into drive and sped away.

I felt a little uncomfortable. For some reason, for a moment, I really wanted Shen Xing to ask me to stay.

Mr. Jiang said to me, "Man, that wasn't your assistant just now, it was Shen Xing, right? He was wearing a mask and a hat, but his figure and demeanor don't lie."

He's too young, like a puppy. I admit he's somewhat good-looking, but I don't think he's right for you.

"I don't want to talk about this."

I say.

Shen Xing did deceive me. From the beginning, his intentions in approaching me were impure, but later he seemed to have genuinely changed and was constantly atoning for his sins.

Last night, I took the overnight bus to Hengdian by myself. I was very tired, and he kept me company while we video chatted until dawn, watching over me until I fell asleep on the bus...

Mr. Jiang and I started to sulk.

President Jiang drove me to a five-star hotel in Hengdian for lunch.

He is the owner and has VIP hotel members all over the country.

This five-star hotel is magnificent and its lobby is particularly luxurious.

The waiter took us to the restaurant, which was very elegant. The Michelin-starred chef personally cooked Western dishes and desserts.

The restaurant played elegant music, and the diners were all high-status and influential business owners.

President Jiang said, "Man, I was really worried about you last night. I didn't sleep a wink all night, really..."

How did you know I'd been kidnapped?

I asked.

General Manager Jiang said, "I heard you went to the mountainous area to film and experience life, so I specifically called the bureau chief I know there to ask him to look after you."

They contacted me last night saying, "You were almost kidnapped, but luckily you were very brave and hid until the police came to rescue you!"

Only then did I realize just how powerful President Jiang really was.

I quickly ate a few bites of steak and drank some juice, then said, "I'm full, I'm fine now. Mr. Jiang, thank you for your hospitality, but we've broken up... I want to go back to a normal life, can you understand?"

"Yes, Man, actually, it's me who owes you. How about we be friends now? I know I've hurt you several times."

What happened last night was something I really regret. I shouldn't have met with the director privately and made you the female lead in this film, which offended Dong Yili.

She has some powerful connections and deliberately hired some underworld figures to try and harm you. It was their doing that you were kidnapped last night!

They are truly ruthless and heartless, wanting to sell you off to the countryside. But don't worry, no matter where you go, I will find you. Even if it's to the ends of the earth, I will never abandon you!

President Jiang said.

I was stunned. It turned out that I was able to get this female lead role because President Jiang had provided both money and effort behind the scenes.

I laughed sadly. Yes, I'm already an adult, and I've been in the entertainment industry for over a year. How come I still don't understand the simplest truth?

With so many beautiful, young, hardworking, and talented actresses in the entertainment industry, why did the director choose me, Jiang Man?

I've once again realized how realistic middle age can be. Having strong connections really does make life smoother and you'll suffer less bullying.

I said, "President Jiang, I appreciate your kindness. I owe this role to you, and I accept your gratitude. Let me toast you!"
