Chapter 25: Jiang Sier
Lao Gao came to the top floor after lunch and wanted to talk to Jiang Sier about the commercial performances of several other newcomers in the company.

Who would have thought that after looking around, not only was Jiang Si'er not there, but Yu Guo was also missing.

He grabbed the secretary who had just returned from lunch break and asked, "Hey, hey, Xiao Liu, have you seen Mr. Jiang?"

"Boss Jiang just went out with Assistant Yu. He didn't say where he was going. But before he left, Assistant Yu told him that if there was anything going on in the company, he should come to you to handle it."

Lao Gao: “…”

As soon as Lao Gao got back, he started calling Jiang Sier, but unfortunately none of the calls went through.

The line is always busy.

On the other side, in the car.

Jiang Sier was discussing this matter with the paparazzi while driving.

"Mr. Jiang, are you really coming over? Now?"

"Yeah. Including the journey to the airport now, I'll be landing in about three hours."

After a pause, she said, "Please keep an eye on that for me. If there is any news, send it to me immediately. I will check it when I land."

"No problem! Since Mr. Jiang is so straightforward, we won't say anything. We have to continue squatting anyway."

They don't plan to stop there, they want to continue digging up more explosive material.

We have to see who is behind this, Pei Du. If the reason behind it is discovered, the price will not be this high.

"The weather is quite cold. You guys should remember to take shifts. I will reimburse you for your food and lodging today."

"Thank you, Mr. Jiang!"

Jiang Sier chuckled and thought that it was probably too early for them to say thank you now.

"But there is one thing—"

"You say it, you say it!"

"Before I land and meet you, no matter what you have photographed or what information you have obtained, you cannot publish or sell it."

Before the paparazzi could reply, Jiang Sier added: "Although this is a one-time deal now, it doesn't mean there will be no intersection in the future. We are all in the same circle. If this deal is settled, there will always be a next time."

"You should also know that there are not many 'sucker's' as straightforward as me nowadays."

The woman's red lips curled slightly, her smile was eye-catching and sarcastic, and she said to the person opposite her: "So, you must learn to cherish it, everyone."

The paparazzi smiled awkwardly, "Don't worry, we know the rules."

-

The plane landed on time at 2:30 in the afternoon.

The first thing Jiang Sier did when he landed was to turn on his cell phone.

The paparazzi sent her a message half an hour ago, saying that they still hadn't seen Pei Du, and they kindly sent her his location.

After getting in the car, Jiang Sier took the time to call Lao Gao.

"Hey, Mr. Jiang, you finally called back!"

“I just got off the plane.”

Lao Gao was confused, "...Where have you been?"

Jiang Sier reported his location and briefly recounted what happened today.

"You are going to pick up Pei Du. But for such a big thing, they may not let him go, right?" They blocked the news immediately for fear that the fans would find out. How could they let Pei Du return home so easily?

You know, Pei Du’s personal popularity in China is almost surpassing that of the entire group.

"I have a solution." Jiang Si'er and Lao Gao said, "Did you see the account number I asked Yu Guo to send you?"

"Not yet, I'll check now." Lao Gao opened WeChat and quickly saw a card number. "Is this a bank card number?" "Yes." Jiang Sier then casually reported the six-digit number.

"Are you sure you want to fight so much?"

From what she said, this is just a "deposit"...which means there will be a "balance" later.

"I need to cooperate with them this time. The photos in their hands are my bargaining chips."

"Okay." Lao Gao agreed.

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Sier took out a card from her card bag and handed it to Yu Guo who was standing next to her. Yu Guo took it blankly and looked at her in confusion.

"You don't have to go in with me later. Just keep an eye on those paparazzi. They won't leave easily today. They have a cooperative relationship with the three platforms. They only wanted to make some pocket money and get some information from me."

"So, they will need more explosive news to support their performance. Take this card. Once they find that they have any signs of regret, give it to them. Here is 10 million."

"..." Yu Guo's pupils shrank. She had been with Jiang Si'er for a while. Jiang Si'er didn't have much liquid funds at the moment. The rest were some real estate left to her by her father. This 10 million should be all she could take out now.

“Do you really have to give so much?”

"But if this matter is exposed, it may not be bad for us. Pei Du is the one who is bullied." Yu Guo didn't understand.

"I know." Jiang Si'er certainly understood this.

After this incident was exposed, it had little impact on Croissant. On the contrary, Pei Du might even gain another wave of fans.

"But the problem is that the premise of exposure is to respect Pei Du's personal wishes first."

"I need to meet him first, understand what happened, know his thoughts, and then cooperate with him to make a choice. He has spent two years climbing to this position, and every decision he makes in the future is crucial. He trusts me, and I must consider everything for him. Even if it is finally exposed, I must keep this matter under my control, and I cannot let those paparazzi exaggerate and report it recklessly."

"So even if I have to give out the last 10 million, I don't mind. I should even be thankful that I still have this 10 million to solve this matter, to temporarily stabilize the situation, and to have time to control the overall situation."

Turning his head, Jiang Sier met Yu Guo's puzzled look and said to her with a smile: "I signed Pei Du to Croissants not just for that little bit of profit."

"I came into contact with this world and this profession earlier than him. I hope to protect him to the best of my ability."

Just like how Pei Du protected her before.

Yu Guo didn't know the relationship between them, and she was confused by Jiang Sier's words. But what she knew was that Pei Du seemed to mean something different to Jiang Sier.

Last time at a concert, Pei Du had a solo performance. Jiang Sier was standing on the side of the stage, watching her big star shining, with an expression of both relief and heartache.

She seemed to really treat Pei Du as her own child.

-

After handing over to the paparazzi, Jiang Sier walked into the TY building without looking back.

The front desk clerk stopped her immediately. Jiang Sier introduced herself and the front desk clerk suddenly realized what was going on.

"Pei Du is in the company today."

The receptionist replied in broken English: "I don't know. Are you here to see Pei Du? I'll ask his agent for you..."

She pretended to pick up the phone next to her.

Jiang Sier was quick to hang up the call.

The receptionist looked up and looked at her in confusion.

Jiang Sier smiled at her and said, "I won't look for his agent."

"Then you?"

"I'm looking for your company's boss, Mr. Jin."

"Sorry, Mr. Jin just went out." The receptionist answered using the script that had been given to him in the morning.

"Really?" Jiang Si'er's smile did not fade. "Then please help me call him and ask him when he will be back. I need to discuss Pei Du's inspection report last night with him."
