Chapter 1001: Chapter 1001: Getting Married Sooner?
At this celebration banquet, Huatai Film and Television released a large amount of press material.
Describing it as a gathering of megastars under dazzling new lights.
The most exaggerated part is they actually claimed in the press release that Sheng Tang, this 5 billion star, overshadowed Su Zhi and was the most beautiful of all.
Sheng Tang is undoubtedly beautiful, but such a press release might annoy passersby and fans of Su Zhi.
The fans started another round of arguments.
Ai’ai used to make a fuss about it, but now she remains calm.
"Sister Tang, your outfit last night looked even better in front of the reporters’ cameras. You’re very photogenic," Ai’ai said.
Sheng Tang: "They took good pictures."
She rarely had unflattering photos leaked; the reporters always captured her beautifully.
This is due to two reasons: First, Sheng Tang’s team, under the operation of PR director Old Ji, maintains good relations with the reporters; second, Sheng Tang is acknowledged as pretty, and if someone captured her poorly, fans and bystanders would question the photographer’s skills rather than thinking Sheng Tang looks that bad.
Therefore, when reporters photograph Sheng Tang, to showcase their skills, the photos are indeed very good.
As long as the photos are well-taken, even without editing, Sheng Tang is exceedingly beautiful.
"Really much prettier than Su Zhi," Ai’ai added.
Sheng Tang: "Your words particularly attract hatred. Su Zhi is ten years older than me, and if I get outshone by younger actresses ten years later, do you think it’s fair?"
Ai’ai pouted and said nothing further.
After lingering at the company for two days, Sheng Tang handled some matters.
She communicated with her agent Ke Fei about this year’s plans.
"...This year I want to spend more time with family, take my parents on vacation during summer, and be with my grandfather on usual days, so I only plan to work for four months.
Find me a literary film, preferably one that could contend for the Qinglan Award for Best Actress," Sheng Tang said.
Ke Fei: "Do you need me to choose the film for you, or will you choose it yourself?"
Sheng Tang hoped Ke Fei would help her choose.
She was not familiar with this world’s Qinglan Awards.
Ke Fei agreed.
After Sheng Tang finished speaking, she went to her grandfather’s place.
Her grandfather was alone at the nursing home today.
Sheng Zong was formally transferred to the Beijing branch; he already left yesterday.
"...Zong went there alone, no one received him, I’m quite uneasy," grandfather said to Sheng Tang.
Sheng Tang: "He’s currently staying at a hotel, and after reporting to the company, the HR department said they would arrange a talent apartment for him, and he’ll move in then.
The ones living nearby are all colleagues from their company. Since it’s a talent apartment, the company covers half the rent, he said the environment is very good and not expensive."
"That sounds nice."
"He plans to start from scratch, aiming to take four years," Sheng Tang said, "Don’t worry, he’ll grow through experience."
The old man was still a bit sentimental.
He didn’t know if he had four more years.
After another two days, the old man’s health improved, and the doctor suggested he could be discharged and recuperate at home.
Sheng Tang helped him with the discharge procedures.
"Grandpa, to prevent others from disturbing you, I’ll stay here for a while," Sheng Tang said.
She wasn’t staying for her grandfather but for Sheng Zong.
Every time Sheng Zong called, he asked Sheng Tang to spend more time with his grandfather.
Now that Sheng Tang’s position was considered stable, she had time to spend more with her family.
"That’s great," grandfather said.
On his first day of discharge, Gu Shiting also arrived at his villa.
Servant Sister-in-law Qian prepared a table full of dishes.
Sheng Tang and Gu Shiting accompanied the old man for dinner.
During dinner, the old man suddenly said, "I really hope you can marry Ting soon. With a brother-in-law, Zong’s future path will be a lot smoother."
This was the first time he revealed his intentions in front of Gu Shiting.
He very much hoped Sheng Zong would have strong support.
Sheng Tang glanced at Gu Shiting.
Gu Shiting smiled broadly: "Should we marry soon?"
