Peninsula: The Deepest Affection in Jiangnan

Chapter 158 The Art of Rain

Shen Yu was very satisfied; the screenshots from this video would definitely be excellent.

He never forgets the three essential elements of portraiture.

"——..——"

Jiang Minjiong glanced at the happy Shen Yu, unsure of what to say.

She thought that if this person actually posted the video online, they would be even more surprised to recognize her.

That's kind of interesting.

"By the way, do you want this video?"

"Huh?" The rain was loud, accompanied by even louder thunder. In addition, Jiang Minjiong deliberately kept a distance from Shen Yu, so she didn't hear what Shen Yu said.

"I mean, this video is really cool! The atmosphere is amazing! And you look beautiful! Do you want me to send it to you?"

Shen Yu said forcefully.

"Okay, sure."

She nodded.

"OK, then will you add me on Instagram?"

"Should I add you?" Jiang Minjiong, holding his phone, looked at Shen Yu. Although he seemed very teacher-like, he was also quite interesting.

But she seems to be a bit younger than me.

"Forget it." She smiled and shook her head; she wasn't really in the mood to be approached.

"Ah, okay—alright." Shen Yu didn't seem disappointed, as if it was just an unimportant question.

time flies.

Shen Yu kept holding up the camera. As for why he was holding up the camera?

Of course, the reason he came here was to film this video.

"Mr. Shen, let's go to the hotel first, the Peninsula Hotel in Beverly Hills. We have some investments there."

"Hmm." As for hotels and such, as long as there's a place to stay, that's fine. Shen Yu looked out the window as raindrops began to fall sporadically.

It's raining.

"The weather has been bad lately. I heard that atmospheric rivers have blown into California, and the rainfall has broken historical records for this time of year."

"Wait a moment, stop the car."

"Hmm?" Darian asked in confusion for a moment, then immediately waved his hand, and the driver brought the car to a smooth and slow stop.

"I'll go out for a bit, you guys go ahead!"

"Oh? Sir, I haven't taken you to the hotel yet—"

"Then please send someone to pick me up when you have time. I'll give you my phone number; we have each other's contact information!"

Shen Yu opened the car door; it had already started raining.

"Wait a moment, Mr. Shen!" Darian immediately got out of the car, pulled out the umbrella above his back door, quickly opened the handle, and ran to Shen Yu to hold the umbrella for him.

Shen Yu looked up at the Rolls-Royce Phantom's standard-issue umbrella, which was rumored online to cost 10 RMB.

He smiled at Darian. "No need for the umbrella, you guys go ahead with your work! I'm leaving now!"

Taking advantage of the light rain, Shen Yu ran out with his backpack over his head, his purpose clear.

As he drove the car nearby, he seemed to see a beautiful sky blue.

Wrapped in a beige suit jacket, it evokes the feeling of clouds against a blue sky.

The weather in Los Angeles is really nice, with such a beautiful, clear blue sky.

Unlike Korean Air's light sky blue, this sky blue has a slightly silky sheen, making it look very elegant.

How long has it been since you last updated your vlog?

Shen Yu asked himself a question.

What a coincidence!

"Are you going to keep filming the rain?" Jiang Minjiong realized that he had just rejected him, but the other party didn't seem to care and was still filming the rain scene.

How long has this been filming?

Jiang Minjiong wouldn't say that besides curiosity, he also had some other emotions.

That kind of emotion that I should have seen on his face—disappointment and pleading.

But why is this man so calm? He's so calm, as if he's just here to film the rain.

"Oh? Right, I didn't get any photos of sunny days or sunshine, so I should at least take some pictures to remember this, right?"

Yes, the blue sky is beautiful, and Shen Yu is very satisfied.

Shen Yu continued to place her and the colors of the sky in the corner of his viewfinder, not making her the focus, but also ensuring she wasn't missed in the shot.

And so the rain continued to fall.

Shen Yu watched as Jiang Minjiong took out his phone, answered it, and said something.

His expression seemed unpleasant, but Shen Yu had no interest in eavesdropping on other people's conversations.

He has always been an upright and honest person.

There seemed to be some arguing on the phone just now.

"That!" Shen Yu waved his hand.

"————" The woman remained unmoved.

"Hello! Is something bothering you?"

Shen Yu looked at her, and the girl leaned against the pillar, turning her head to look at Shen Yu's face.

"Perhaps I can help you?"

"You?" Jiang Minjiong almost chuckled.

"Yes!" Shen Yu nodded.

"Forget it."

Jiang Minjiong smiled politely, then turned his head back.

A little while later.

"Um, are you going to stay in this position forever?"

Within the viewfinder, the girl's pose remains that of leaning against the pillar.

But Shen Yu was never afraid of being approached by people; in fact, he enjoyed it.

"Me?" Jiang Minjiong glanced at the boy. "You talk too much!"

"If you're bored, you can play on your phone for a while, right? Or you can keep taking pictures of the rain!"

Her emotions affected her mood, causing her to say things she wouldn't normally say.

"I'm filming!"

Shen Yu, showing no sign of anger, raised his Pocket 3 to indicate that she was filming. "As for the phone, the battery is low. We need to keep going until the rain stops."

The rain was still falling, but the wind had bypassed this spot, so Shen Yu sat back down.

Jiang Minjiong glanced at Shen Yu, who had already sat down, picked up the tissue he had used earlier to wipe the rainwater off his seat, and then sat down as well.

"Did you come alone or with friends?"

"——" Jiang Minjiong didn't want to speak.

"I heard you say something on the phone just now that you weren't going to come pick you up, or something. Did I hear you wrong?"

Shen Yu always listened openly and honestly; if he heard something, he heard it, and the problem was definitely not with him, but with her phone leaking too much sound.

— She glanced at Shen Yu, who was still babbling on and on.

"Phew—" Jiang Minjiong breathed a sigh of relief, but he still felt that the unpleasant day was about to continue.

At the beginning of the year, because of a problem with the salary amount written in the company's recruitment, she was targeted by malicious people on the Internet, and her account was directly attacked by a large number of negative comments.

"Capitalists are so heartless. They make so many demands and impose so many conditions, but in the end, the wages and benefits they offer are even less than what you would earn working at a convenience store."

The matter is not over yet. Although the information was removed and corrected in time, and an apology was issued to the public, it seems that those people on the internet have not let go of their thoughts.

"Oh dear, capitalists are indeed afraid of public opinion, but what's the use? A heartless person is always heartless."

Jiang Minjiong tried his best not to care about the comments. Although he wished he could catch these people and confront them one by one, what could he do?

Therefore, we can only use time to calm public opinion.

In early March, her father and brother were embroiled in a fraud case. The ongoing public opinion linked the two incidents together, causing her reputation to plummet. She even felt that someone was maliciously using her to make a fuss.

"Oh! So the fabricated image of a wealthy family is actually all made up of taxpayers' hard-earned money?!"

"No wonder she bought a building and started a company this year. Your father and brother helped you a lot, didn't they? Do you know that the money you spent was the hard-earned money of countless people who were scammed? How dare you do this!"
