Chapter 51: I Don't Want to Enter the Entertainment Industry
It was a little after 9 a.m.
Inside the tea restaurant at Lee Gardens Hotel.
Li Jiagang and Chen Wenyu walked hand in hand.
"Aren't you afraid the media will photograph us?" Chen Wenyu asked softly to Li Jiagang. "TVB held a celebration banquet here last night, and there will definitely be a lot of gossip reporters staking out the area."
"Aren't you afraid?" Li Jiagang asked rhetorically. "If you get photographed by reporters, it might have some impact on your career in the entertainment industry."
"Who said I was going to enter the entertainment industry?" Chen Wenyu couldn't help but hold Li Jiagang's hand even tighter. "The reason I participated in the Miss Hong Kong pageant was just to test my charm."
"Oh, you don't plan to enter the entertainment industry?"
This really surprised Li Jiagang.
He thought that Chen Wenyu participated in the Miss Hong Kong pageant simply to enter the entertainment industry and become a star.
In his opinion, the reason why Chen Wenyu was unknown in history must be because of insufficient resources and no one to promote her.
He also plans to help her out later, using his own capital and resources to help her get more resources and more good scripts.
"I really don't have that plan." Chen Wenyu shook her head, her expression becoming serious. "I had already made a plan. No matter what ranking I get in the election, once everything settles down, I will go back to the United States or find a stable job in Hong Kong that matches my major and live a down-to-earth life."
She looked up, her eyes reflecting Li Jiagang's handsome face, her voice soft yet incredibly clear: "Who knew... I would meet you."
Upon hearing Chen Wenyu's words, Li Jiagang looked at her seriously and saw that she didn't seem to be joking.
Suddenly, his carefully crafted plan for her star-studded path became obsolete and needed to be completely scrapped and started over.
Just as he was pondering this, a flash of inspiration struck him, and he suddenly remembered her resume. Immediately, a glint of light appeared in his eyes, as if he had discovered some precious treasure.
"You really don't want to enter the entertainment industry, you want to enter the workplace?" Li Jiagang asked again to confirm. "If you want to develop in the entertainment industry, I will support you. But if you really want to do work related to your major, you can also come to the company and help me."
"Can I really join your company?"
Seeing that Chen Wenyu didn't mention the entertainment industry at all, but was happy to be able to join his company, Li Jiagang believed that she really had no interest in the entertainment industry anymore.
"I said I'd walk this path with you, did you just take it as empty words?"
"Great! I'm willing, I'll go to your company!" Chen Wenyu's face lit up with a bright smile, like a flower blooming in spring, unable to hide her inner joy.
"Okay, let's go get something to eat first," Li Jiagang said, grabbing her hand without caring about the stares around them. "Come help me once I've made the arrangements."
"Yes!" Chen Wenyu nodded emphatically.
The smile on her face was impossible to hide.
Li Jiagang's decision to bring Chen Wenyu into the company was not based on nepotism, but rather on careful consideration.
Chen Wenyu does have a bachelor's degree in accounting.
Although there is no work experience, these are not problems at all; training can be provided.
In terms of academic qualifications alone, she is even higher than Huo Jianning, completely outshining everyone else in the company.
That's why Li Jiagang planned to bring her into the company. Once she's grown up, Huo Jianning won't be tied down by the finance department and can better expand his business.
Or perhaps Chen Wenyu is truly capable and could grow to the same level as Huo Jianning.
In the future, his company will have another key talent, which is a win-win situation.
Just as the two of them were about to sit down.
"Mr. Li, what a coincidence!"
Li Jiagang turned his head and looked in the direction of the sound.
"Mr. Zhao, what a coincidence," Li Jiagang said with a hint of embarrassment.
He never expected to run into Zhao Shizeng, but when he saw the beautiful woman sitting at the same table with him, Li Jiagang immediately understood.
At this moment, Zhao Shizeng also noticed Chen Wenyu, who was holding Li Jiagang's arm. A hint of regret flashed in his eyes, along with a look of envy.
"Mr. Li, you have good taste."
"Zhao Sheng, you're not bad either."
Li Jiagang also recognized that Zhao Shizeng's female companion was also a Miss Hong Kong contestant from last night.
Li Jiagang simply couldn't remember her name.
"Wenyu, you all..."
The Miss Hong Kong contestant who was dining with Zhao Shizeng was filled with envy and shock when she saw Chen Wenyu holding Li Jiagang's arm.
Li Jiagang was the most popular and talked-about person in their year of Miss Hong Kong.
Unexpectedly, Chen Wenyu won him over.
Young, handsome, wealthy, and influential men like Li Jiagang would definitely be the first choice for these women.
It filled her with a deep sense of regret.
Li Jiagang did not respond to the Miss Hong Kong's question, but looked at Zhao Shizeng and said, "Mr. Zhao, let's not disturb your meal for now, we can talk again when we have a chance."
"Alright, Mr. Li, please proceed."
Li Jiagang nodded slightly, then pulled Chen Wenyu's hand and sat her down at an empty table.
And what they don't know is.
The moment they stepped into the restaurant, a reporter was snapping photos of them from a corner table.
This reporter had infiltrated the restaurant specifically to stake out the area. He was a seasoned journalist who knew that the hotel was sure to yield plenty of juicy scoops on the night of the Miss Hong Kong pageant's celebration banquet each year.
He was already very happy when he spotted Zhao Shizeng in the morning, because there would be more juicy news tomorrow, and he would get the bonus.
Little did he know, he would end up working for Li Jiagang, a recently popular figure.
Moreover, she appeared alongside this year's Miss Hong Kong winner, holding hands as they walked together.
The reporter almost fainted from excitement.
He could already foresee that once this report was published, it would absolutely dominate the front pages and hot topics of discussion in Hong Kong tomorrow.
He even came up with a title.
"Hong Kong's youngest eligible bachelor, Li Jiagang, falls at the feet of a talented Miss Hong Kong."
He had no doubt that the report would become a sensation after it was published. The mere fact that either of the two popular names, "Li Jiagang" and "talented Miss Hong Kong winner," was enough to pique the public's interest and cause a surge in newspaper sales.
What's more, there's the hottest news lately about Li Jiagang, the youngest business tycoon, who's also dating a talented Miss Hong Kong winner.
If news like this doesn't go viral.
This reporter will probably run to the rooftop to contemplate life and whether he should start a new account.
At this moment, the reporters completely ignored Zhao Shizeng, the playboy, and another Miss Hong Kong.
He stared intently at Li Jiagang and Chen Wenyu as they filmed.
Zhao Shizeng's scandalous affairs are frequently reported, and although they still have some value, they are negligible compared to those of Li Jiagang and Chen Wenyu.
Meanwhile, in Lijiagang...
They were completely unaware that a reporter was taking photos of them.
Even if he saw it, he wouldn't care. Since he had made the decision to acknowledge Chen Wenyu, he wouldn't mind publicly admitting their relationship.
Unless Chen Wenyu doesn't want to make it public.
It's past ten o'clock.
Li Jiagang left the Lee Garden Hotel.
Even after leaving the hotel and getting into the car, Li Jiagang still held Chen Wenyu's hand the whole way, showing no concern for the public's gaze.
The same applies to Chen Wenyu.
She even felt very happy about the action.
"Where do you live?" Li Jiagang asked her. "I have some things to take care of at my company. I'll come over to see you tonight."
Chen Wenyu knew that Li Jiagang was very busy and couldn't spend all his time with her, so she said softly, "My home is in Kowloon Tong, in the staff quarters of St. Mary's Canossa College."
Upon hearing this, Li Jiagang remembered that his cousin Li Junhua had told him about Chen Wenyu's family information; her parents were both teachers at St. Mary's College, Canossa.
"Okay, Junjie, drive."
"Yes, young master."
Suddenly he paused, and then he remembered something: his cousin, Li Junhua.
He'd been so engrossed in having fun last night that he'd completely forgotten about his cousin. He quickly asked Li Junjie, "Junjie, what about Brother Hua...?"
"Don't worry, young master, my brother safely escorted Young Master Jiahua home this morning." Li Junjie secretly revealed a sly smile, and Li Jiagang naturally understood his implication.
"Did you get him home safely this morning?"
It means that his cousin also succeeded last night.
Otherwise, his cousin Li Junhua wouldn't have stayed out overnight, which means he had a reason for not going back.
The reason he didn't go back was definitely because of that Miss Hong Kong, but he didn't know whether what brought his cousin to this point would be a good thing or a bad thing for his cousin in the future; he simply couldn't predict.
