Beijing-Hong Kong Rosemary

Chapter 40 She doesn't need special treatment
Dingsheng Group was the theater's earliest sponsor. It can be said that the theater's current development is inseparable from Dingsheng Group's support, and it is absolutely impossible to offend this powerful entity.

Qu Yanci remained silent.

Yao Hui felt uneasy and tried to salvage the situation, saying, "This was indeed my dereliction of duty, allowing things to escalate to this point. I will definitely investigate and find out the truth as soon as possible."

Qu Yanci's gaze was indifferent. "I hope this kind of thing will never happen again."

"Definitely, definitely," Yao Hui assured him repeatedly.

He wasn't really aware of the trending topics; usually, his subordinates handled those matters.

I never expected Mr. Qu would make the trip himself for this. Normally, it's incredibly difficult to see him.

"May I ask, what is your relationship with Miss Shen...?"

Qu Yanci raised his eyes slightly. "This is my private matter."

Yao Hui heard the warning in his words and dared not say anything more.

The meal was ultimately canceled, as Qu Yanci had to leave early.

Before leaving, he left a message: "Don't treat her specially, and don't try anything with her."

Yao Hui was increasingly confused. Why was she being treated so specially, yet being protected in every way? What was their relationship?
Shen Guining was worried all day because of the trending topic. It was the first time she had encountered a cyber attack and was being slandered and defamed, so she couldn't remain completely calm.

She admires those celebrities with strong mental fortitude who can maintain a good attitude towards work despite facing so many rumors and gossip every day. Indeed, not everyone can do that job.

However, she soon discovered that what she thought was a huge problem was easily solved by Mr. Qu.

At 10 p.m., the theater's official account issued a clarification. Not only that, but even the marketing accounts that led the rumors also came out to delete their posts and apologize.

Public opinion has shifted dramatically.

Why is the official response only coming out now? Where were they before?

Shen Guining is truly pitiful; she's being used by the company as a tool to generate traffic.

People who spread rumors deserve to die; this is how cyberbullying happens!

She's the daughter of the Shen family, after all. Why would she need to rely on a sugar daddy for a role? Don't go too far.

……

Things on the internet are a mix of truth and falsehood, and many netizens are like weather vanes, swaying back and forth. Some people don't care about the facts and are just following the crowd to join in the fun and vent their frustrations about life and work. After all, no one knows anyone else through the screen, and they disappear again after the storm passes.

“These kinds of things might happen again in the future. Are you going to let those unrelated people affect your mood and prevent you from eating every time?” Qu Yanci sat on the sofa, looking at the little girl in front of him.

His serious demeanor can be a little unsettling.

Shen Guining hung her head like a child who had made a mistake, "I know, I won't do it again."

Qu Yanci looked away. "Go to sleep early. I'll take you out tomorrow."

Shen Guining looked up and asked curiously, "Where are we going?"

“Golf course,” he said.

"Oh."

Shen Guining didn't know why Qu Yanci wanted to take her there, and she didn't ask any questions. There must be a reason for it, and she just needed to quietly accompany him.

Before going to bed, she set her alarm so she could get up early the next day.

The next morning, I followed Qu Yanci to a golf club in the suburbs.

The golf course covers a vast area, with lush greenery and fresh air, boasting a unique and superior environment. The course design incorporates features of classical gardens, resulting in a beautiful layout.

As soon as I got out of the car, a manager in a polo shirt greeted me with a smile, "Mr. Qu, welcome, please come in."

Qu Yanci nodded slightly in response.

Shen Guining followed silently behind him.

Upon entering the club, another staff member approached and said, "Ms. Shen, the masseuse is already waiting for you. Please come upstairs with me."

Shen Guining was slightly taken aback and subconsciously looked at Qu Yanci.

Seeing him nod, Shen Guining followed the staff into the elevator. The club offered excellent privacy, catering to high-end clients, and the staff were professionally trained to ensure absolute confidentiality of their clients' privacy.

On her way to the locker room, Shen Guining saw two popular celebrities, a man and a woman, embracing each other. They had just denied the rumors after being photographed by paparazzi a while ago, saying that they were just ordinary friends.

Sure enough, you can't trust things online.

Lost in thought, she almost bumped into someone at the locker room door and quickly apologized, "I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry..."

The other person was a beautiful woman with a gentle appearance and a soft voice. "It's okay, I was looking at my phone and didn't notice."

Shen Guining felt that she looked familiar, as if she had seen her somewhere before, but she couldn't remember where.

After changing into a bathrobe, the staff took her to a private spa room for a massage.

Although this isn't a specialized massage parlor, the therapists they hired are professional, and their techniques are very comfortable.

My back pain was relieved a lot after the massage.

Sweating, Shen Guining took a shower in the shower room.

When she came out, a staff member said to her, "Ms. Shen, Mr. Qu and his friends are playing ball over there. Would you like to come over?"

Shen Guining thought about it and still refused.

Mr. Qu is probably discussing business, so she won't go over and disturb him.

There is an open-air observation deck on the second floor with a rest area where fruit and refreshments are provided.

Shen Guining ran into the woman who had been at the entrance of the changing room earlier.

The other person greeted her first with a friendly smile, "What a coincidence."

"That means we're destined to meet." Shen Guining noticed her slight accent and guessed, "Are you from Hong Kong?"

Yu Wanqiu nodded. "You must be Miss Shen. I saw you dance live the day before yesterday. It was amazing."

That's the truth, not just being polite.

Shen Guining said "thank you".

After getting to know each other, the two sat down and chatted, and immediately hit it off.

However, Yu Wanqiu received a phone call and left after a short chat.

Shen Guining suddenly remembered that he had seen her in Hong Kong before. At Zhou Da Gongzi's yacht birthday party, he accidentally saw her kissing Zhou Chongli on the balcony.

Such a gentle and quiet girl is completely mismatched with a cold and domineering man like Zhou Chongli.

The vibration of her phone pulled her back to reality.

Shen Guining answered the phone when Mr. Qu called.

"Do you want to come down?" Qu Yanci asked her.

Shen Guining walked to the railing and looked down, immediately spotting a familiar figure on the lawn.

He changed into a white polo shirt and black trousers, with the collar of the shirt slightly open, a very casual outfit that was more relaxed and laid-back than his usual business suit, but his temperament remained calm and dignified, making him stand out among the group of men.

Qu Yanci was also looking at her; their gazes met in the air from a distance.

"are you still busy?"

"Ah."

Shen Guining turned and left the terrace. "Then I'll come down now."

Qu Yanci hung up the phone, returned the golf club to the caddie, and sat back down on the outdoor chair in the rest area.

When Shen Guining came down, he saw someone talking to Mr. Qu, but he was clearly not interested. The person was also sensible and did not dare to disturb him too much.

Shen Guining only went over after the people around him left.
