The question to the star

Liang Weining rose to become a 'favorite' of Mr. Chen, the capital magnate of the Hong Kong Region, in just six months. The outside world said she climbed up by her beauty. No matter how good a vase might look, it can't escape being discarded once the owner grows tired of it. As such, everyone watched and waited. After three long years, they finally received news of Liang Weining's dismissal.
While the entire upper circle thought Liang Weining had become history, nobody knew that on the eve of New Year's Eve, an entertainment reporter captured a romantic moment. In a black business car parked underneath the Zhonggang headquarters building, the backseat window was half-lowered, and Mr. Chen, who was always dignified and composed, unexpectedly lost control. In the mottled shadows, he grabbed the chin of a young girl and kissed her fiercely.
The photos were exposed that same night, and a heavy snow fell over the Eastern Suburbs of Beijing.
Inside the Mid-hill Villa, the fireplace blazed warmly. The man took the girl's soft, boneless hand from behind and guided her to write on the Xuan paper: Chen Jingyuan.
"When will we go public?" he asked in a low voice.
As soon as he'd finished speaking, the mobile phone screen lit up. The exclusive breaking news headline from the Hong Kong media flashed before their eyes again, and Liang Weining fretted over the news title, "Let's wait a bit longer."
Chen Jingyuan's voice was slightly deep, "What are you worried about?"
"My dad's blood pressure has been unstable lately."
Years later, Mr. Chen gave an interview to the media, addressing personal issues.
Reporter: "For you, what was the biggest obstacle in pursuing Mrs. Chen back then?"
Mr. Chen paused for a few seconds, then smiled lightly, "My father-in-law's blood pressure."

Beijing-Hong Kong Memories

For the remainder of the itinerary, Director Yan invited Mr. Chen to a private estate for tea.


It must be said that for this trip to Lianwu Island, the other party had certainly done their homework in advance.


They learned about Chen Jingyuan's personal preferences, including his dietary tastes and the type of white tea he usually drank. Even hearing that the man had lately been sleeping poorly, Director Yan went out of his way to find a local master of pharmacology to concoct a few sachets of Chinese herbal medicine with calming effects for him.


Liang Weining thought that as a local official, to go to such lengths was indeed the epitome of sincerity.


However, what puzzled her was that, given such warm hospitality, her own boss seemed to have little reaction.


She had thought that the Lianwu Island project was a done deal, just waiting for a signed agreement.


Now it seemed that was not necessarily the case.
