After Being Clung to by a Gentle, Seductive Omega - Chapter 8
“Xunwu, do you still remember the rules for visiting a set?”
“I remember. When the script supervisor says ‘Action,’ it means they’re working, so I can’t go forward and disturb them. If I run into someone with bad intentions or any unexpected situation, I have to find Sister right away.”
Ji Xunwu held her water cup and drank a few refined little sips. After thinking for a moment, she added, “Also, I have to remember that my sister is the most beautiful Alpha in the world.”
Ji Congyan nodded in satisfaction, while Cen Sang held her forehead in the driver’s seat.
The luxurious car stopped at the entrance of the film studio.
The producer led Wu Langli and several assistant directors to respectfully await the investor’s arrival.
“President Ji, Miss Ji, Assistant Cen.”
It was July, and the blazing sun hung high in the sky.
The sunlight was harsh. Ji Congyan held a parasol, while Ji Xunwu followed behind her sister with her own mini parasol.
The production team introduced the process of the opening ceremony to the three of them.
“The weather is good today. Bo Shuang and several other leads are shooting promotional stills. The altar has already been set up. Filming will finish in ten minutes, and then all the staff will gather before the altar to pay respects.”
“There are still ten minutes. President Ji, would you like to rest in the lounge for a while, or do you have other plans?”
The producer led the three of them to the entrance of the lounge.
Ji Congyan said, “We’ll just look around casually. Everyone can go do their own work. Don’t follow us. It’s too high-profile.”
The lounge faced the square where the staff would gather later. Everyone’s gazes landed on this side, whether openly or subtly.
That was simply what happened when one was surrounded by the producer and the directing team.
The producer actually wanted to say that with President Ji’s stunning face, one that everyone recognized, even if they did not accompany her, everyone would still notice her.
The weather was scorching. Ji Congyan wore a low-saturation green ice-silk shirt, one corner of the hem tucked into dark gray suit pants. On her feet were leather shoes of excellent quality, and she also wore a pair of sunglasses.
She was merely standing casually beneath the corridor, yet her outstanding face and incomparably elegant, noble air made even the staff members, who were used to seeing beauties and handsome men, glance over again and again.
Ji Congyan handled some work. When she looked up from her phone again, the square was already almost full of staff.
Cen Sang returned after answering a phone call.
“Century Resort’s stock price has already fallen to our expected level. Now we’re only waiting for your order, President Ji, and the traders will execute purchases in batches.”
On the night Ji Congyan’s rut was induced by Bo Shuang during the film and television gala, the hotel she had stayed in was the highest-end hotel brand under Century Resort.
Ji Congyan said, “No rush. Aren’t the two brothers from Century buried in debt recently? I heard they’ve been looking for a buyer lately, and their asking price is lower than market value.”
Cen Sang said, “Century Resort’s assets should be very sought-after. Should we send several teams to get in touch?”
Ji Congyan said, “Mm. Be careful not to let them know it’s the Ji Group buying.”
Cen Sang said, “Understood. Whether the surveillance cameras were really broken or not will become perfectly clear once we acquire them.”
On the night of the film and television gala two months ago, an Omega had entered Ji Congyan’s room.
After a period of investigation afterward, the hotel stated that the surveillance system on the hotel’s upper floors had suffered a wiring malfunction that night, and the footage from the crucial time period had disappeared.
Had Bo Shuang done it deliberately, or had it been an accident?
The square was bustling with voices. Under Director Wu Langli’s instructions, the staff lined up one by one to offer incense. Ji Congyan’s gaze crossed the crowd and landed accurately on Bo Shuang, who was wrapped tightly in black clothing.
Was it for this role?
And for the eight hundred million in cash that she had later transferred over in batches?
She pondered in concentration.
Bo Shuang seemed to sense something too and turned her head.
But she only saw three figures, two adults and one child, chatting and laughing.
“President Ji! It’s your turn!”
Wu Langli’s voice came from the square.
Ji Congyan and the other two went over and experienced the opening incense ceremony. Ji Xunwu was not tall enough, so Cen Sang picked her up.
After saying a few auspicious words wishing the filming a smooth production, Ji Congyan brought her younger sister and assistant to stand in the very center of the first row.
Also in the center, the chairwoman of Yueyu Entertainment smiled and greeted them.
“President Ji, Little President Ji, long time no see.”
“Chairwoman Yue,” Ji Congyan said with a nod.
“Ah Shuang, this is President Ji. You definitely know her too.
“You know, don’t you? The reason you were able to secure the lead role this time was all thanks to President Ji making the final decision and expressing absolute recognition of your acting skills. Come and greet President Ji. In the future, you’ll still need President Ji to look after you more.”
Although Yueyu Entertainment and Anji Entertainment were both at the very top of the film and television industry, Ji Congyan’s identity was not limited to being the president of Anji Entertainment. She was also the president and heir of the Ji Group, a domestic giant spanning multiple industries.
Their social statuses were not on the same level at all.
Being able to form a connection with the Ji Group meant walking a road to the heavens in the industry from then on.
At Chairwoman Yue’s look, Bo Shuang stepped forward.
“President Ji.”
Her attitude was poised and natural, her tone gentle and warm. The way she looked at Ji Congyan held none of the dazed confusion from that night. There was only a gentle softness that was neither servile nor arrogant.
Ji Congyan faintly caught the scent of Omega pheromones that should not belong in a public setting.
But when she tried to smell it more carefully, the scent was gone.
·
After the opening ceremony, preparations began for the first scene.
The crew members set up equipment in an orderly manner, and the actors were touching up their makeup.
Ji Xunwu was like a little group favorite. Wherever she went, beautiful older sisters and brothers greeted her, and one “Little President Ji” after another drifted from the sidelines.
Ever since she was young, Ji Xunwu had been taught by her mothers and sister about their family’s situation. She knew why some people smiled as brightly as flowers, almost fawningly, and called her “Little President Ji.”
Whenever someone did that, she felt that the pretty sisters and brothers who had originally looked quite attractive suddenly did not look so good anymore.
She flattened her mouth and, with her bright little face, nodded indifferently.
Then she turned and led Cen Sang somewhere else.
Sure enough, her sister was still the most beautiful and prettiest Alpha in the world.
As she was thinking this, she accidentally bumped into someone.
There was a loud thud.
Ji Xunwu rubbed her head, looked up, and apologized. “I’m sorry. I didn’t do it on purpose. I dirtied your shoes. How much were they on the receipt? I’ll compensate you.”
The older sister she had bumped into was breathtakingly beautiful, like a gentle fairy.
She had seen this person beside her sister earlier too.
The fairy crouched down to look at her at eye level, a faint smile on her face. Unlike the others, she was not fawning. Her smile was like a flower in the manor just beginning to bloom, making Ji Xunwu feel comfortable.
“Little President Ji, there’s no need for compensation. It’ll be clean after wiping it. But you—did you hurt your head?”
Ji Xunwu nodded. “Yes. It hurts a lot.”
“My work only starts in twenty minutes. Shall I take you to treat the bump on your forehead first?”
That collision had not been light. The sound had been loud, and her forehead was faintly pink. If it was not treated, it might turn bruised and purple.
Ji Xunwu thought for a moment. “Sister, please wait a moment.”
After saying that, she walked to Cen Sang at the side and opened her arms. Cen Sang picked her up.
Ji Xunwu whispered beside Cen Sang’s ear.
“Sister Cen, is Sister Bo an Alpha, a Beta, or an Omega?”
“Omega.”
“Sister doesn’t like Omegas, but I want Sister Bo to help me treat the injury on my head.”
“Just use your usual method,” Cen Sang said.
The two of them whispered to each other.
Ji Xunwu understood and returned to Bo Shuang’s side.
The little mouth opened, and the words came out smoothly.
“Please take me to my mom. My mom’s lounge has a first-aid kit.”
