The Martial Artist Turned Movie Mogul-Chapter 942 - 941. Ganlou Banquet

When Tang Shu received the gown from her hands, Shen Li waved towards Jing Yu on the sofa.

"I’m borrowing your dance partner for a while, I’ll return her to you as the number one beauty in the world in two hours. Find something to do in the meantime; we have plenty of international magazines here."

Thus, Tang Shu was pulled away by this seemingly delicate but fierce and decisive woman.

***

Shen Li was truly a designer valued by Jing Yu.

In less than two hours, the gown and exquisite makeup were all set, her slightly plump hands working wonders.

Tang Shu sat in the innermost makeup room, clearly seeing her current self in the opposite mirror, her already attractive features now more three-dimensional and refined, made even more dazzling by the large waves of hair draped in front of her chest.

"How about it, does this red dress match the makeup well?"

Shen Li was thoroughly pleased with her own creation, her small fangs inevitably showing again. Yet... the black hollowed-out outfit was actually more stunning on Xiao Shu, but recalling the man sitting outside on the sofa, she decisively squashed this very dangerous thought.

Yingyingying~~ The tyrant of their circle was not someone she could afford to provoke; if she angered him, she might have to move her little studio out of the capital.

Tang Shu had no idea about the schemes in someone’s mind, just smiled and nodded, "Very satisfied, thank you, Sister Li."

In just two hours, Designer Shen’s mouth did not stop for a moment. While working swiftly, she did not forget to chat with her about "everything about Xie Yunqing from childhood" to "the troubles Jing Yu caused when he was little," letting the listener witness the growth history of two troublemakers.

She was shocked! Not only by the stories of the rambunctious young ones but also by her shock at her own incredible multitasking capability.

"Since you’re satisfied, then come with me, my beautiful Muse. I should return you to that gentleman outside who’s been eagerly waiting~~~"

Shen Li took Tang Shu’s hand, very actively pushed her to the outer reception hall. The originally magazine-flipping Jing Yu looked up at the sound, and upon seeing Tang Shu, he was momentarily stunned, emotions churning in his dark eyes.

The fiery red gown enveloped the girl’s body, the black waves at her chest enhanced her dazzling allure, especially her amber-like eyes sparkling like starry radiance.

"Wow~"

Shen Li teasingly looked at Jing Yu, clicking her tongue in amazement, wishing she could immediately grab her phone on the table to capture this rare moment, yet the table was too far away...

She missed another chance to tease Jing Yu QAQ~~

Jing Yu stood up and walked step by step towards Tang Shu, naturally taking her hand, his deep gaze looking out the window.

The sunset was sinking, the sky aflame, the sun halfway down the horizon tirelessly radiating the last brilliance of the day, golden-red light piercing through the dusky haze and showering the earth.

Just as splendid as the girl before him.

"Let’s go."

"..."

Is that it? Shen Li incredulously glanced at him, watching the future brother-in-law lead his girl away from the studio, unable to turn away for a long time.

"Yunqing was right, this guy is definitely the silent brooding type!"

Disappointed, she had still hoped to hear some astonishment from him.

***

At 7 p.m., the black business car arrived on time in front of a building that was only three stories tall.

Passersby on the street never looked down upon it due to its mere three-story stature; instead, their gazes towards it were filled with longing and respect.

"President Jing, we have arrived at Ganlou."

The driver parked the car in the ground parking lot; the uniquely traditional building was separated by a large area specifically for parking, which stood out as somewhat incongruous yet perfectly fitting in the precious land of the capital.

This was a house in the old district of the capital city, with each building having at least a hundred years of history.

The driver got out of the car first and stepped to the rear seat to open the door for Jing Yu, whose black leather shoes touched down, revealing his long and powerful legs.

Two minutes later, Jing Yu, hand in hand with Tang Shu, walked into Ganlou and handed the gold-embossed invitation to a man in a blue suit at the door.

The man clearly recognized the face, and bowed very politely to Jing Yu, "President Jing, the banquet hall is in Area D of the third floor, shall I take you two up?"

"No need, you go ahead with your duties; we’ll find our own way."

"Alright, President Jing, let me know if you need anything."

The man in the suit allowed them to pass without even opening the invitation for confirmation, his gaze unconsciously caught by Tang Shu dressed in a fiery red gown, his eyes flashing with astonishment and admiration.

Isn’t this someone different from the usual Miss Jing that President Jing brings?

The girl looks so familiar... Oh my, he remembered, it’s Zhang Zijun who’s been dominating his home television lately!

Wow— it seems like he might be onto some sensational news? Stay calm, maintain your professional integrity, don’t let all your experience go to waste!

At that moment, however, Tang Shu didn’t have time to observe the inner turmoil of the man in the suit but was focusing her attention on Jing Yu.

From the moment they stepped into Ganlou, she noticed the change in the aura of the person beside her, the usual gentleness replaced by a gaze deep and sharp. Especially, the cold and sharp look he gave the man at the door made Tang Shu realize that he was a major player in the business world.

"What’s wrong?"

A deep and elegant voice came from beside her ear, carrying a hint of confusion, bringing Tang Shu back to her senses.

"Nothing, are we here not just for the banquet? Are there businesses to discuss?"

"We are here to meet a few people; it’s a privately hosted banquet."

However, this privately hosted event was completely different from the previous celebratory banquets Tang Shu had attended, particularly when considering the choice of venue.

Her intuition was proven correct as soon as they walked into the third-floor banquet hall, Tang Shu inadvertently scanning the faces around her and confirming her guess.

The people here, almost each one of them looked formidable.

To discern a person’s character and their professional circle, for the Young Sect Master of the Tang Sect, one could glimpse clues from their manner and casual conversations. The individuals in front of them, both from their gazes and actions, exhibited an extraordinary aura, signaling that those who could attend this banquet were definitely not ordinary businessmen.

"President Jing is here? A rare guest indeed— we haven’t seen each other in a long time!"

A man in his forties approached, his call almost drawing the attention of half the people in the banquet hall, as their eyes followed suit.

Jing Yu extended his free right hand to grasp the other’s, "President Wang, long time no see."
