Chapter 761: Chapter 761: Pick Her Up

Sheng Tang arrived at the hotel arranged by the crew and took a hot shower.

She went to greet Zheng Weiwei and let her know she was back.

Zheng Weiwei was in the hotel’s café, chatting idly with two gentlemen.

As soon as she saw Sheng Tang, she immediately called out, "This is Sheng Tang."

The two gentlemen, both variety show producers, stood up to shake hands with Sheng Tang.

Sheng Tang exchanged pleasantries with them.

"Miss Sheng, you have great skills. It’s clear you can really fight, not just showy moves. In tomorrow’s program, we’ve arranged a segment like this for you. Is that okay?"

Sheng Tang quickly shook her head.

She smiled and said, "I’m just moderately skilled, let’s not hype up any expert image."

Everyone laughed.

Sheng Tang socialized with them, unable to leave in the middle, and had to chat for over two hours.

She had slept well on the plane and was in good spirits, but kept thinking about calling Gu Jiahui to let him know she was safe.

It wasn’t until eleven at night that the conversation ended.

Sheng Tang sat with Zheng Weiwei for a bit, chatting casually.

It was already half past eleven when she returned to her room and called Gu Jiahui.

"...I just met the program producers and chatted for a while," Sheng Tang explained to him.

He seemed in a good mood and very understanding, "Work is important."

"How did your two dates go tonight?" Sheng Tang teased him.

Gu Jiahui: "They were quite good. Yang Mingming felt guilty knowing that I was attacked while sending her home.

It wasn’t just her coming to see me alone, she was with her mother. Mrs. Yang kept expressing her gratitude, being very attentive."

"Getting approval from your future mother-in-law, not bad," Sheng Tang said.

Gu Jiahui gave a cold laugh.

He didn’t continue to tell Sheng Tang that Yang Mingming would still marry that second-generation rich kid, a political marriage between their families. In the Yang Family, not even Yang Mingming’s father had much say.

The real power in the Yang Family laid with Yang Mingming’s uncle—the influential and prominent uncle.

The Yang Family and the Qiu Family are one of the two major forces from S City in Beijing. To be honest, the Qiu Family holds a slight upper hand because they have more solid foundations.

The Qiu Family is where Gu Shiting’s maternal family is.

"Keep it up," Sheng Tang said, "Get some rest early."

Gu Jiahui agreed, then hung up the phone.

He stayed in the hospital for seven days before the doctor allowed him to go home.

Sheng Tang planned to visit him mid-way, but she was too busy.

Their promotional events took them all over, including a trip to Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore, and Japan. Sheng Tang spent most of her time on planes and with the crew.

Her daily rest time was limited, let alone finding time to visit Gu Jiahui.

It was several days after Gu Jiahui was discharged before she remembered to call him.

After a month and a half of publicity campaigns, they finally finished their work.

When Sheng Tang returned to S City, it was September 29th, and the movie "Who’s Afraid of the Workplace" was scheduled for release on October 1st.

Zheng Weiwei claimed to have spent over fifty million on marketing for the film, covering outdoor and subway advertisements extensively, while online promotions were also in full swing.

On the day Sheng Tang returned, Gu Jiahui was still in Beijing, discussing an investment collaboration.

"I’m so exhausted." The house was only occupied by Cheng Lichuan, and Sheng Tang collapsed on the couch, unable to get up for a long time.

Cheng Lichuan felt sorry for her, "Being a celebrity is not easy."

"Survival is tough in any job," Sheng Tang said.

Cheng Lichuan laughed.

Sheng Tang lay on the couch.

Cheng Lichuan told her to go back to her room, but she said she was too tired and needed to rest for a while: "Our program yesterday, the recording lasted till half past twelve, then the crew had a short meeting.

I met a producer on the plane who was quite interested in me. We talked the entire flight, and I didn’t get a chance to catch up on sleep. I’m exhausted."

She lay there and unknowingly fell asleep.

Someone picked her up, waking her momentarily.

It was Gu Jiahui who had returned.

"Huh?" Sheng Tang was surprised, "Why are you back?"

"Just sleep. We’ll talk when you wake up." Gu Jiahui put her on the bed, turned off the light, and left.
