Pei Shaoze swiped his card to open the door and headed to the window. The French windows occupying an entire wall had a very wide view that looked down on the bustling night scenery. There was an apartment building in the distance with a height that wasn't much different from this hotel. The side windows of the apartment building faced the windows of this row of guest rooms in the hotel. If there was a professional camera with an ultra-long focal length then it could completely take photos of inside the hotel room.

Ya'an International Hotel was very close to Ya'an Movies and Television Studio. A large number of crews stayed here every year. Therefore, paparazzi often lurked in the nearby communities. Pei Shaoze had checked the news for the past few years. Two years ago, a crew had an accident in this hotel. An alpha had a fixed girlfriend and they had agreed on a marriage date. Then he was filmed doing it with an omega female. It was at the hotel and shot by the paparazzi. After the video was released, the two of them were scolded on the hot search. The fixed girlfriend was from a rich family who blocked them in the entertainment circle. The two of them were ruined and never appeared in public again.

Since this incident, the hotel realized that the guests' privacy might've been compromised and strengthened security. The gates were strictly guarded, no paparazzi could enter and all guest rooms had brand new blackout curtains. Once the curtains were drawn, nothing could be photographed.

Later, every time the crew checked into the hotel, the director would warn them, "If you're in your room then you must draw the curtains!"

There were so many paparazzi near the movies and television studio that it couldn't be helped.

Previously, Pei Shaoze would draw the curtains in advance every time Cheng Xia came here but today he didn't do so. Instead, he stood in front of the French windows, poured a cup of coffee, and drank it slowly. When would Cui Jue act? Folding Paper was unstoppable. If he didn't find a way then the company's financial report at the end of the year showing that Pei Shaoze had invested 10 million yuan only to make back a few hundred million would shock the shareholders.

Vice President Cui's position was about to be shaken.

Pei Shaoze smiled lightly as he took out his mobile phone to send a WeChat message to Cheng Xia. [Don't meet tonight. I will be waiting downstairs for you at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning. Go to bed early.]

Cheng Xia always listened to Pei Shaoze's words and he immediately replied after receiving the message, [Yes. Good night, Brother Pei.]

The next morning, Cheng Xia came downstairs and saw his agent Zhou Yan and Pei Shaoyan both waiting. Cheng Xia didn't think much about it because it was common to bring an agent and assistant when going out to work. Pei Shaoyan came over and said mysteriously, "I really don't understand my brother's brain circuits. He said he would take you to see reporters but I also have to come along! Do I have to learn how to talk to reporters?"

Cheng Xia smiled at him. "Your brother asked you to follow so he must have his own reasons. You should go in a relaxed manner."

In the very spacious business car, Pei Shaoze and Pei Shaoyan sat in a row while Cheng Xia and his agent sat on the other end. Uncle Zhong was driving.

Cheng Xia was a bit startled when he saw Uncle Zhong. He hadn't expected Brother Pei to bring his driver over at this time. He vaguely perceived that something was wrong. Just then, his phone vibrated with a WeChat message that was sent by Pei Shaoze. [The agent and assistant are here today. We should pay attention and not be too close to each other. Wait for my message in the evening before coming to my room for a chat, okay?]

Cheng Xia replied, [Yes, Brother Pei.]

Just then, Uncle Zhong braked sharply and he told them, "President Pei, someone is following us."
