Chapter 39: Chapter 39: The Giant_1
Finally reaching the foot of the hill, a flat but winding road unfolded before Xiaren. Looking ahead, she saw the road continuing straight into the distance, seemingly endless.
Next to the road flowed a clear river, the only access path to the outside world. Qiao Xiaren saw several green SUVs parked by the side of the road.
“Mr. Si!” A few people approached Si Limo, who lifted Xiaren’s luggage into a car. Climbing into the vehicle, the leader of the group took the driver’s seat while Xiaren and Si Limo sat in the back.
Watching the receding landscape, Xiaren felt a wave of drowsiness washing over her. When she woke up, she was shocked to find herself leaning against Si Limo’s shoulder.
“Awake? Did you sleep well?”
Hearing the calm voice, Qiao Xiaren suddenly felt that she couldn’t afford to appear weak before him. So, she met his eyes, flexing her wrists and neck nonchalantly and said, “Not bad.”
Si Limo’s eyes grew deeper, but he remained silent.
Qiao Xiaren glanced outside, busy streets and skyscrapers reaching up to the clouds.
The Capital, this is the most bustling commercial street.
A 99-story building made of transparent tempered glass dominated like a king, standing in the center of the Capital.
Reportedly, this is the headquarters of SGS Entertainment Tycoon Company, the most famous entertainment management company in the industry.
Products endorsed by today’s hottest A-list female stars were plastered all over the place: passing crowds, LED billboards, bus stations, and on the enormous screen at a nearby plaza — ultra-popular jewelry stealing the limelight in the Capital.
The brightness in the female celebrity’s eyes overshadowed even the jewelry she wore, unable to conceal her radiant charisma.
Xie Yurou, as the newly crowned national goddess in recent years, filled the aesthetic void for viewers amidst the fierce competition between Leng Qingxue and Shen Dan for the title of national superstar, swiftly rising to fame due to her immense popularity.
“So, are you interested in the entertainment industry?” Upon noticing Qiao Xiaren’s gaze fixed on the SGS Building, Si Limo curiously posed a question.
Xiaren did not answer, she merely flashed a smile at him, then turned around to fetch her suitcase.
“Thank you, Mr. Si, for bringing me out of Shanshui Town. Until next time.” With a faint smile, akin to a winter spring, Qiao Xiaren added a sprinkle of admiration amongst Si Limo’s entourage — not for her appearance, but her temperament which was simply too impressive.
Indeed, even in plain clothes, she was radiant and of unparalleled beauty. A combination of elegance and allure, the curve of her lips seeming to absorb thousands of rays of light, dazzling enchantingly.
People around started having accelerated heartbeats, amidst some evident confusion and entrancement.
Despite being accustomed to the numerous stars of the entertainment industry, at this moment, Si Limo admitted, this woman possessed a strikingly beautiful face.
When he came back to his senses, Xiaren had already walked far away. Si Limo reeled back his gaze, his dark eyes flashing with inexplicably complex emotions.
He was eagerly awaiting.
Qiao Xiaren, gazing at this bustling city, had unconsciously become a charming part of the commercial streetscape.
