Even with the reception in the evening, in the morning Jiang Yu still has to study with the teacher as usual. The reception would begin at seven, and it would take an hour to get there. At five o’clock, Yan Shu called and asked Jiang Yu to go upstairs to change clothes.

It was 5:30 by the time he finished changing his clothes. Yan Shu took him out of the office. While walking to the elevator, her cell phone suddenly rang.

Yan Shu picked up her phone and was told by the general manager’s secretary that he had something to do with her. She hung up the phone, looked at the time, and said to Jiang Yu. “You go to the underground parking lot and wait for me, I will look for you in awhile.”

Jiang Yu nodded and went into the elevator alone.

“Is there anyone here?” There was an exit door not far from the elevator, and a girl’s voice came from inside.

Jiang Yu stood still, and the girl’s voice rang again. “Anyone? Can anyone help me? I sprained my foot and couldn’t walk.”

Jiang Yu hesitated for a moment, and saw that the door was open. Seeing halfway inside, he saw a girl was sitting on the stairs with her left hand on her ankle. She was one of the people who followed Chen Rui yesterday.

“Jiang Yu?” The girl opened her eyes with surprise when she saw him. “It’s good that you are here. Can you help me go up the stairs to the elevator? I accidentally stepped on air and sprained my feet when I went downstairs. I also forgot to bring my phone.”

Jiang Yu looked at her and said nothing.

Seeing him silent, the girl frowned slightly and bit her lips with embarrassment. “Yesterday I just wanted to see what the new actor who was signed by sister Yan looks like, not to trouble you with Chen Rui. Don’t get me wrong, He and I are not in the same group.”

She held the railing and stood up. She just stood up awkwardly for a short time when her left foot slipped and she fell down while holding her ankle. Expression of pain appeared on her face, begging. “Jiang Yu, please, can you help me?”

Jiang Yu walked up to her, and while still looking at the girl, walked to the door of the exit. When he was about to step in, he suddenly stopped.

The girl froze, “Why did you stop?”

Jiang Yu pursed his lips and said, “Come out, I’ll wait for you here”

“You saw it just now, I can’t walk, how can I get there?” A flash of impatience flashed on the girl’s face, but her voice became soft. “It’s just a few steps away, come here and help me.”

“I still have something to do,  ask someone else to help you.” Jiang Yu said that, and turned to leave.

“Don’t!” The girl yelled at him in a hurry, gritted her teeth, and said. “I’m going.”

Jiang Yu turned around and saw her holding the railing with both hands, jumping down one step with one foot. When she reached the last step, she beggingly said. “Come over and help me, I will fall on one foot.”

She glanced behind the half-opened door, and quickly retracted her line of sight.

There was someone behind the door.

When she said the first sentence, Jiang Yu had known that she was lying and that she was malicious to him. He had been paying attention to her movements, and the eyes that had just looked behind the door had not been missed. He looked up at the half-open door and saw something faintly.

The girl saw his movements, and cleared her throat. “You just come over and lift me to the elevator. It won’t delay you a lot of time, please.”

“Wait.” Jiang Yu looked around, his eyes fell on a trash can, and he walked over.

This floor of the building was being renovated, and some unwanted decoration materials were placed beside the trash can. Jiang Yu picked up an alloy rod and walked back to the exit.

The girl looked at him confusedly, and saw that he suddenly held up the alloy rod and pushed the half-opened door.

“Bang” 

A loud sound was heard from behind the door.

“Ah!” Two figures jumped out from behind the door. They were wet and looked like rats in the sewer.

They were the two people who followed Chen Rui yesterday.

“What are you doing behind the door?” Jiang Yu looked at them in surprise.

The two were pale and pissed. They were about to get angry when they heard a “ding” on the elevator door, and then the sound of high heels rushing to this side. Yan Shu appeared behind Jiang Yu.

Seeing the scene in front, Yan Shu’s anxious complexion sank. She was called by the general manager’s secretary to talk about this and that. After sitting for a while, she figured out that something was wrong. Thinking of Chen Rui’s trouble with Jiang Yu yesterday, she quickly found an excuse to leave.

She could see at a glance that the people in front wanted Jiang Yu to be wet with water, and somehow the water was poured on them.

After a glance at the time, it was already late. She gave them a few cold glances, ready to come back to find them, and told Jiang Yu to get in the car to go to the reception.

“Fortunately, there was no accident.” Leaning against the back of the car, Yan Shu breathed a sigh of relief. If Jiang Yu was wet with water, his clothes would be completely ruined, and he would have to change his clothes and rush to the reception again to be late.

She asked, “What happened?”

Jiang Yu said. “They placed a basin of water on the door. The girl on the stairs pretended to have a sprained foot to make me come over to them and the other two people were hiding behind the door.”

An old trick, Yan Shu whispered lightly. Jiang Yu looked like a well-behaved baby, and she was really worried about what would happen all the way down, and asked, “How did you find out?”

Jiang Yu blinked, “That girl’s acting was too poor.”

Cheng Cheng said that he could hear the truth from the other person’s words, whether there were such malicious things or not.  He was also told not to let many people know.

Yan Shu laughed and agreed. “Indeed, the acting was so bad. She can’t lie to anyone.”

The reception was in a villa, and it was exactly seven o’clock when they arrived. Jiang Yu went in with Yan Shu. Many people had arrived in the hall, all wearing suits and long dresses, wearing exquisite makeup, holding wine glasses, standing together and talking in pairs.

Yan Shu took a glass of red wine from the plate brought by the waiter. She was about to take Jiang Yu to greet someone she knew when there was a commotion at the door. Several men in suits and leather shoes came in from outside, and many people gathered around.

“The one infront is President Qin of Qin group. The one on the left is President Zheng of Leheng Group…” Yan Shu introduced Jiang Yu to the big guys in these circles. After the introduction, she took him to greet the people she knew.

She brought Jiang Yu to the director and screenwriter to show some respect and Yan Shu led him to the dining table and said, “You have something to eat here, Director Lin Zhen has not come yet. I will take you to meet him when he arrives.”

Lin Zhen has a spot for a role in his new drama. This time she brought Jiang Yu to the reception, mainly for the role in Lin Zhen’s new drama.

“Stay here, I’ll go to the bathroom, and come back immediately.” Yan Shu told him, turned and asked the waiter, and went upstairs.

The dining table was filled with all kinds of beautiful little cakes and desserts. Jiang Yu was hungry long ago. He learned to take a few small cakes from the dinner plate and, while eating, looked at Qin Shen who was surrounded by the crowd. Behind him a voice of a strange man came, “You are Jiang Yu? Yan Shu is getting more and more powerful to find a newcomer of such good quality.”

Jiang Yu turned around and saw a middle-aged man standing behind him with a pair of golden glasses, holding a goblet in his hand. He looked refined, but his eyes looked at him wildly. Chen Rui stood next to the man.
