100,000/Hour Professional Stand-in - Chapter 39.3
Chapter 39.3: Why Does He Call You Big Sis? (3)
She walked through the compartment door before reading the message Cen Xiangyang had sent: 【Just a quick reminder, I’ve already submitted the questionnaire for quite a while now】
Despite the rubbish Cen Xiangyang often uttered, he was quite efficient when it came to paying for his first tryout.
The 200,000 dollars reservation fee had already been sitting in Ji Fanyin’s bank account for quite a few days now, and it was time to make it hers.
She replied: 【Are you free tomorrow?】
After deciding on a meeting time with Cen Xiangyang, Ji Fanyin searched through her inbox for the questionnaire he had sent in.
This was an important quality assurance tool to ensure satisfactory service for her clients.
She swiftly browsed through his answers before falling deep in thought on the massage chair.
Ji Xinxin had chosen to go down a dangerous route when dealing with the deranged Cen Xiangyang. To summarize it in two words, ‘acting innocent’.
Ji Fanyin touched her own face.
Oh well. What else can I do when Cen Xiangyang is one of the highest-quality fishes in the fishery?
It would be unwise to think of Cen Xiangyang as a mere newbie who had barely built a bit of credential for himself in the filming industry.
He came from an illustrious family of lawyers, which was why his family vehemently objected to his choice of career, hoping that he could instead follow their path. It was just that Cen Xiangyang stubbornly chose to devote himself to art.
His obstinacy did pay off, for he was going to win the most prestigious filmmaking prize in two years’ time.
Ah, but in the year after that, he’ll turn to the dark side due to an erroneous maneuver from Ji Xinxin, resulting in him kidnapping her. He ends up spending quite a few years in jail thanks to that.
… A short-term client he’ll be, I reckon.
Oh well, I’ll call the cops on him if he tries to pull anything.
With that, she had pretty much settled matters on Cen Xiangyang’s side for the time being. It was just that a new problem had cropped up.
Chen Yunsheng.
Ji Fanyin had no qualms toying with a couple of non-recyclable trash, but she couldn’t do the same when it came to Chen Yunsheng.
On top of being earnest and forthright, he was also a particularly smart and discerning young man. He was able to grasp what she was driving at before she finished her words.
Smart people had a habit of driving themselves to a corner.
It would be one thing if she was in her original world, but that wasn’t the case here.
She sank her body into the massage chair and allowed the vibrations to do their work.
Forget it. I’ve already laid out the worst-case scenario for him, and he has made his decision as an adult. What rights do I have to refute his life decisions?
…
When the plane finally landed, Ji Fanyin retrieved her own luggage and began making her way out of the cabin.
Of course, there was no way young master Bai would have to do his own chores. Two air stewardesses stepped forward to help him carry his luggage, so his movements ended up being slightly slower than Ji Fanyin’s.
It didn’t seem that out of place for Bai Zhou to be accorded such special treatment given the kind of background he had.
While Ji Fanyin toiled her luggage past Bai Zhou, she turned to him and smiled. “I’ll be looking forward to your next reservation.”
Bai Zhou: “…”
He was silent for a moment before abruptly asking, “How do you intend to head back?”
“Technology is quite advanced nowadays.” Ji Fanyin shook her phone in front of him to showcase the existence of ride-hailing apps.
She only flashed her phone screen to him for a brief moment, but in this short second, Bai Zhou’s attention wasn’t on the ride-hailing app but the WeChat notification that had popped up above.
He didn’t manage to catch the person’s name, but he did get a glimpse of the first few words of the message.
That person said: 【Big sis, I want to fetch you from the airport】
Bai Zhou’s body moved faster than his mind. Before he could even make sense of what he was thinking, he had already stepped forward to grab her suitcase. He asked with a suppressed voice, “Who did you tell you’re at the airport? Is it someone who knows big sis…”
Somehow, he felt a sense of awkwardness speaking up to this point.
The person messaging Ji Fanyin called her ‘big sis’, and he himself had also called Ji Fanyin ‘big sis’ too.
“… someone who knows Ji Xinxin too? Didn’t I tell you that you can’t reveal this matter to anyone?” Bai Zhou quickly changed his words before questioning on.
“Nothing has been exposed. He only knows that I’ve gone abroad.” Ji Fanyin staggered backward a little due to Bai Zhou’s sudden powerful tug on her suitcase. “You’re my valuable client. I know better than to sabotage myself.”
Bai Zhou refused to release his grip on her suitcase. “Why is he calling you big sis?”
Ji Fanyin earnestly looked into Bai Zhou’s infuriated eyes and asked, “Why? Is it a unique address reserved specially for you and Ji Xinxin?”
Bai Zhou remained silent to her question, but he still refused to release his grip.
Ji Fanyin chuckled softly. “Or could it be that you’re concerned that someone else other than you is addressing me in such a manner?”
Bai Zhou immediately released his grip on her luggage, almost as if her words had scalded him.
Feeling that the pressure on her suitcase had finally vanished, Ji Fanyin lifted her chin upward and said, “See you, young master Bai.”
