246: Temptation

It was only later that Wang Cheng knew what the gossip between Yu Jing and Sun Chu was about.

Yu Jing herself was a rich girl who loved to play, similar to Zhao Chenlin. Before she met Wang Ning'an, her private life was very messy. She often went to nightclubs, bars and other places with her friends. Because her family had money, she was often flattered by the stars. Later on, Yu Jing met Wang Ning’an and immediately pursued him after falling in love with him at first sight.

As the saying went, the only barrier when women chased men was a string of yarn*, especially women with good conditions like Yu Jing. In fact, many men will automatically stick to her fingers as long as she hooks her fingers. She thinks Wang Ning’an is the same as those men in the past, that as long as she acted a little bit better, he would definitely bow to her pomegranate skirt**, but this time, she miscalculated.

[T/N: * = the full quote is something like ‘a man chasing a woman faces a mountain, while a woman chasing a man faces a string of yarn’

** = become fascinated due to her beauty ]

Wang Ning'an existed to tell her that not all men adored looks, and not all men would choose her.

At first, Yu Jing didn’t believe it, but after hitting a wall for many times, Yu Jing finally became impatient. So, she began to revert to her old ways. This time, she didn’t mess around with other rich second generations, instead choosing people from the entertainment industry. However, it was not Sun Chu that was first in a scandal with her, but another famous star.

However, Yu Jing did not linger on that person long. Within a month, Yu Jing had kicked him away, and then someone photographed Sun Chu having supper with a woman outside at midnight; a front profile photo confirmed that that woman was Yu Jing.

Afterwards, the two had frequent scandals.

Someone dug out Yu Jing's family background, and those who don't like Sun Chu used this opportunity to discredit him. However, no matter how hard they worked, they were no match for the two’s public displays of affection.

If it weren't for the headlines being taken over by Besze, the rumors of Sun Chu and Yu Jing would have become more widely known, and Wang Cheng would not have only noticed it now.

Recently, the atmosphere around Wang Ning'an was very strange. This strangeness began when Yu Jing had an affair with a star in the entertainment industry.

Everyone in the company knew that Yu Jing was pursuing Wang Ning'an, and she had unexpectedly persisted for a few months. However, when everyone thought that Miss Yu really regarded Wang Ning'an as her true love, the young lady stopped.

Those in the company who were envious of Wang Ning'an had a sense of schadenfreude, but there were also those who sympathized with Wang Ning'an. Fortunately, Vice President Wang had not accepted Yu Jing from the beginning. Otherwise, according to her personality, they were afraid that within two months, she would tire of him - that would be embarrassing.

Wang Ning'an had no reaction towards this at all, disappointing those who expected him to feel regret. Some people couldn't help but wonder if they had really guessed wrong before. Was the reason why Wang Ning'an rejected Yu Jing not because he wanted to play hard to get, but because he really had no feelings towards her?

At this time, Yu Jing’s movements became even more high-profile.

Early in the morning, there was a noisy sound at the company's gate. Those who were entering and exiting the door stopped and looked towards the gate, surprised and happy. The male colleagues were fine, but the female colleagues began to become idiots.

"My God, I actually see Sun Chu here? Is this a dream? Someone pinch me!"

Then someone pinched her. When the female colleague yelled in pain and realized that she was not dreaming, she immediately took out her phone to take a photo.

The others followed suit. Although Sun Chu was with Yu Jing, he was still a very famous superstar who had won several awards. Naturally, he was much mightier than the celebrity Yu Jing had a scandal last time, as one could see based on the group of reporters still wanting to rush in from outside the gate.

There was a lot of noise along the way, so it was difficult for those in the company not to know.

After Peng Yang learned about this, he hesitated for a moment, before knocking on Wang Ning'an's door. He opened the door and walked in after receiving the affirmation of the person inside.

"What's the matter?"

The man sitting at the desk only spared him a glance before looking back down at the plan in his hand.

Peng Yang knew that as an assistant, he shouldn't bring his attention to unnecessary things. With the serious and rigorous working attitude of the vice president, he should definitely not care. However, he still brought it up.

"Vice President, I just heard that Miss Yu came with her rumored celebrity boyfriend. I think they might come to you later."

Peng Yang was not surprised to see the vice president frown as soon as he finished speaking.

"I see. If they want to see me, let them in, don't stop them."

"Yes, vice president. Then I will leave first."

Peng Yang carefully closed the door. He knew that the vice president did not care at all, and that Miss Yu had made a wrong move this time. Not only that, but this might cause even more difficulty for what she wished to happen to occur. Not long after he returned to his post, Yu Jing brought up her big star boyfriend, as expected.

The surroundings were quiet for a while, and then the whispering started up again. It was undeniable that Sun Chu was indeed a very dazzling existence. If Yu Jing were not there, he was afraid that many colleagues would be excitedly walking over to take pictures with him and ask him for autographs.

"Peng Yang, is your vice president here?" Yu Jing deliberately brought Sun Chu over to Peng Yang, and acting like a proud peacock, hugged Sun Chu's arm. It was not difficult to see her show-off intentions with every move.

And though Sun Chu knew that he was probably being used, he still kept a perfect smile from the beginning to the end, playing the role of Yu Jing's rumored boyfriend very seriously. Even if his identity was not suitable for exposure to the public, once Yu Jing’s request was made, he still agreed.

Peng Yang stood up and said, "Yes, if the eldest miss wants to see the vice president, you can go directly to him."

Yu Jing had even thought up excuses, she hadn’t expected Peng Yang to give in so easily this time. So, she didn't say much else. She turned her head and said to Sun Chu: "Sun Dage, come with me, I will introduce my father's most important subordinate to you. Shenghui is also investing in entertainment this year, so maybe you will come across him in the future."

"Okay." Sun Chu looked at her with a pampering expression. Yu Jing was very useful. When the two came to Wang Ning’an’s office, Yu Jing knocked on the door, but walked in before she received any affirmation. Sun Chu had long known that the man Yu Jing was attracted to would not be mediocre, but surprise still flashed through his eyes at first glance.

The man’s back was turned to the huge floor-to-ceiling glass window, so his handsome facial features were enveloped in a faint shadow, revealing a pair of eyes that seemed to glow in the dark indifferently and radiantly. This scene was like an edited scene of a movie, and instantly left a deep feeling.

Sun Chu understood why Yu Jing was so obsessed with this man, but he had a hunch that Yu Jing was currently using the wrong method. She probably wouldn’t get this man's heart in her life.

"Miss Yu, if you don’t have anything to say, I still have to work." When Wang Ning’an saw Yu Jing only blankly staring at him blankly, he frowned and broke the silence.

Yu Jing's expression turned ugly for a moment. She didn't know if it was because of the indifference in his words, or because she was still shocked, but she was unwilling to admit defeat. She immediately said, "Of course there is something: direction development. I mentioned this matter to my dad and he asked me to write a plan for you. I am here to tell you that I have already written the plan and it has been sent to your mailbox this morning."

Wang Ning’an mentioned that he already knew. "Anything else?”"

Yu Jing endured her anger and pulled Sun Chu up, saying, "I also want to introduce someone to you. This is Sun Chu, Yaxing’s number one star. Vice President Wang should have heard of his name. I told my dad about letting him be our company’s spokesperson for the products, and he has agreed to this. By the way, he is now my boyfriend, so Vice President Wang should take care of him."

Sun Chu chuckled and reached out politely. "Hello, I hope we will have a good cooperation, please advise me well in the future."

"I don't dare to teach you." Wang Ning’an shook his hand.

After they shook hands, the atmosphere in the office cooled down. Yu Jing couldn't find anything to say, and her face was pulled very taut. While Sun Chu thought about leaving, a hurried ringtone broke the silence in the office. It was from Wang Ning'an’s cell phone on the corner of the table.

Wang Ning'an picked up the phone and looked at it, then said to the two people, "Do you two need anything else?" His words were obviously meant to drive them out.

"No. Since Vice President Wang is busy, let's go first." Sun Chu wittily pulled Yu Jing, who was feeling a little bit uncomfortable in the situation, to leave. When he closed the door behind him, he saw Wang Ning'an’s face soften instantly as he picked up the phone. Who could make him show this expression?

As they left the company, Yu Jing's face was overcast. She deliberately took Sun Chu to see Wang Ning'an, just to show him that he wasn’t the only one for her.

It was no secret that Yu Jing was chasing Wang Ning’an, and even many people in her circle of friends know it. However, her friends said that Wang Ning’an was trying to catch her by using such a method. At first, she didn’t believe it, but when everyone kept telling her this to her, she finally believed it. In addition, when she first had a scandal with a little star, Wang Ning'an took the initiative to call her.

Yu Jing was very happy at first, but her friends alerted her that Wang Ning'an must be afraid that she would lose interest in him. She felt that it made sense when she thought about it, and became even more upset in her heart. In order to test whether Wang Ning'an was really playing with her all this time, in a desperate attempt, she had a scandal with Sun Chu. This time it was not just a scandal; she deliberately let everyone know that she and Sun Chu were together. However, she was not sure whether or not Wang Ning'an paid attention to entertainment gossip, so she planned today's situation - but Wang Ning'an's reaction was far from what she expected.

"Yu Jing, do you like Vice President Wang?" Sun Chu suddenly asked.

"No, I’m the same as before. It’s just that his appearance was in line with my tastes. Now he is just an employee of my dad’s to me. Are you jealous? There’s no need for that. I, Yu Jing, don’t turn back once I’ve faced forward," Yu Jing subconsciously retorted. What she was saying was that she was exactly the same as her arrogant and contemptuous self when facing men in the past; she just treated men as toys for relieving boredom.

Sun Chu smiled and didn't speak any more. He had heard of Yu Jing's arrogant temper, and there were also other such rumours about her in the entertainment circle. She was indeed not suitable for Vice President Wang.

Wang Ning’an comforted his younger brother on the phone call. Though he was a little blinded to these plans unfolding in front of him, Yu Jing's intentions were not difficult to guess. He knew that Yu Jing was trying to test and warn him as early as when she was rumored to be with that little star.

However, what about it? If it was before, he might really have to worry. He was interested in Yu Jing's shares at first, but later changed his mind; because of some matters, he didn't have the need for Yu Jing's shares anymore. So, that eldest miss no longer had any weight in his eyes. But, there was one thing that made him very concerned: when Wang Cheng told him that someone had hired a private detective to follow him, the first person Wang Ning’an thought of was Yu Jing.

Yu Jing was not a smart person and couldn’t do such things without leaking a clue, and so he was sure that the person sending someone to follow him was not Yu Jing. It could also not be Yu Hongzhi. The reason why Yu Hongzhi targeted him was because he thought he was interested in his sister’s shares. Now that he showed no interest in the shares, it was impossible for Yu Hongzhi to find someone to follow him - and his skills weren’t so great. But if it wasn’t the Yu family, who could it be?

Wang Ning'an was worried that that person was opposing him, and having an unknown enemy was very disadvantageous towards him.

At this time, the Wang Ning'an and his siblings did not yet know that a major event was happening in their hometown.
