Chapter 236: Honeymoon?
Bae Joo-hyun was stunned by the sudden compliment on her beauty.
"Tha...thank you," Bae Joo-hyun paused.
Jiang Shu smiled and turned to look at Su Xueqi, who had been silent because she couldn't understand their conversation.
"Xueqi, tell them to serve the dishes."
"Oh, oh." Su Xueqi nodded upon hearing this and stood up to inform the waiter to serve the food.
"Since you're here, take these two days to explore, and then we'll return to Seoul on the morning of the day after tomorrow," Jiang Shu said to Bae Joo-hyun.
"Understood."
Seeing this, Jiang Shu said no more. Soon after, Su Xueqi came over with the waiter.
Although the waiter clearly didn't recognize Bae Joo-hyun, he merely glanced at the exceptionally beautiful guest before serving the dishes.
After taking Bae Joo-hyun to dinner, Jiang Shu returned, entrusting the job of being Bae Joo-hyun's tour guide to Su Xueqi.
May 6th, Incheon International Airport, Seoul Special City.
"In-hoon, I'm going to the restroom. You keep an eye out. You must keep a close watch. Many big news stories come from reporters like us staking out for a long time," an industry veteran instructed a new reporter.
"Yes!" Lee In-hoon, wearing glasses, stood up straight and responded loudly.
The veteran reporter waved his hand and slowly walked towards the restroom.
Lee In-hoon tightly clutched the camera in his hand, crouched down again, and stared intently at everyone coming out of the arrival gate.
D Company (Dispatch)'s assessment is one of the strictest in the industry. Lee In-hoon, a recent university graduate, managed to stand out from a group of seasoned veterans because of a special ability that no one else possessed.
He could recognize disguised celebrities!
Celebrities' disguises were completely useless in his eyes. After staking out entertainment company gates with his senior a few times, each time he could accurately pinpoint celebrities who only showed their eyes from the bustling crowd!
It was precisely because of this skill that Lee In-hoon was assigned to the airport, which has the largest flow of people but is also the easiest place to capture big news.
This was his first assignment as a stationed reporter, and Lee In-hoon was giving it his full attention.
And now, with his partner absent, Lee In-hoon became even more focused, unwilling to miss a single detail.
His sharp eyes scrutinized every passenger exiting the gate.
No.
Don't recognize.
No.
No... Hmm?
Lee In-hoon's gaze sharpened, his eyes widening slightly as he stared intently at the male and female duo.
Both the man and woman wore sunglasses and masks. The man's height was estimated to be around 1.8 meters, while the woman was much shorter, appearing to be about 1.6 meters.
Both had good figures, and there are many such people in Korea, but!
Their aura was off!
This man had a problem!
Lee In-hoon suddenly stood up, raised the camera in his hand, and rapidly snapped photos of the two.
Through the camera's zoom, Lee In-hoon didn't recognize the woman, but he recognized the man's identity.
Jiang Shu, the Chairman of DM Entertainment, who had been missing for over two months!!!
Big news!
Lee In-hoon immediately became excited.
A few days ago, Jiang Shu updated his Instagram, stating that he was handling affairs in China and couldn't leave, explaining the reason for his two-month disappearance. This was considered an explanation for the widely discussed trending topic.
But now he had captured the returning Jiang Shu, and there was a woman beside him!
Who could this woman be?
After taking a few photos of Jiang Shu, Lee In-hoon focused his lens on the woman beside Jiang Shu.
Looking at her completely covered head, he couldn't immediately determine her identity. He could only zoom out the lens and watch the two pass in front of him.
At this moment!
Watching the sway of the woman's waist as she walked with her back to him, a thunderclap suddenly rang in Lee In-hoon's mind.
This walking posture immediately made him think of a very famous celebrity!
Irene, the oldest divine beauty among the four divine beauties, the leader of Red Velvet, known as the 'unprefixed unnie'!
With a suspected target, Lee In-hoon frantically pressed the shutter, as if he wanted to push the shutter button right in.
"What are you photographing?" At this moment, his senior's voice came over.
Lee In-hoon ignored him and continued shooting until the two got into a car before putting down his camera.
"I asked you a question," the senior's voice drew closer.
Lee In-hoon looked at his senior with excitement.
"Senior, we've got big news!"
"Huh?"
...
Jiang Shu and Bae Joo-hyun returned to the company by car. Two months' worth of documents were waiting for Jiang Shu to review.
Bae Joo-hyun, on the other hand, went to the practice room upon arriving at the company to pack her things and prepare to continue with her schedule.
In the Chairman's office, looking at the two large stacks of documents that almost submerged the desk, Jiang Shu fell silent.
"Is there really that much?" He turned to Choi Ji-yeon and asked in disbelief.
"This is already after removing some non-essential documents," Choi Ji-yeon said with a smile.
Jiang Shu felt a bit numb.
He didn't feel anything when he used to handle a few items every day, but when they piled up... the visual impact was quite significant.
"Alright, I understand." Jiang Shu nodded helplessly. "Get me a cup of coffee, a latte."
Choi Ji-yeon smiled upon hearing this. Jiang Shu usually drank plain water or beverages; he only drank coffee when he felt he needed to work overtime, because coffee truly kept Jiang Shu awake.
"Understood."
Choi Ji-yeon left, and Jiang Shu looked at the documents on the table, a bitter smile on his face.
Time to get to work!
Jiang Shu and Bae Joo-hyun arrived at the company around 11 AM. Jiang Shu, in his work state, was forcibly made to end his overtime by Choi Ji-yeon around 6 PM.
Why forcibly...
"Honeymoon?" After listening to Choi Ji-yeon's report, Jiang Shu opened a webpage and stared blankly at the trending topic.
#JiangShuIreneHoneymoonTripEndsReturnToKorea#
WTF?
Me?
On a honeymoon?
And with Bae Joo-hyun?
Jiang Shu browsed the article with a head full of question marks.
It was accompanied by a few photos of him and Bae Joo-hyun leaving the airport together, then a summary of Bae Joo-hyun and Jiang Shu's schedules over the past two months, and then it inexplicably concluded that the two had secretly gone on a honeymoon.
It even claimed that the two had registered their marriage in China, which is why it couldn't be found in Korea.
"Lee In-hoon." Jiang Shu looked at the reporter's name in the report. "What about this reporter's information?"
"Here." Choi Ji-yeon handed Lee In-hoon's information to Jiang Shu.
"He's only been employed for less than half a year. Does he dare to publish an article like this?" Jiang Shu asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Perhaps it's a test?" Choi Ji-yeon tentatively suggested.
"A test of what?" Jiang Shu looked at Choi Ji-yeon in confusion.
"To test your control over the company and confirm the rumors from a while ago."
When Choi Ji-yeon said this, Jiang Shu reacted.
If DM Entertainment truly had a power shift as rumored, then D Company (Dispatch)'s article would be a knife held to their face.
The Chairman and a popular celebrity dating and secretly marrying...
