Chapter 472 The Heartthrob!

Throwing Shi Cheng back into the sea water once more, Su Rui bid farewell to the Xia family of three and left the Junlan Kaibin Hotel.

　　His retreating figure seemed to carry a certain heaviness.

　　The Bai family again.

　　He had never intended to stand against the Bai family, but fate always seemed to weave some connection between Su Rui and them.

　　Watching Su Rui’s retreating figure, Xia Min let out a soft sigh: “Xia Qing, this young man is no ordinary person.”

　　”I know.”

　　Xia Qing’s eyes were equally sharp. It was impossible that the events of so many days had escaped her notice. If anyone said Su Rui was just a small sales rep in Bikang’s marketing department, even she herself wouldn’t believe it.

　　”Dad, what are your thoughts on that matter?”

　　Xia Qing knew that with her father’s upright and principled character, he would absolutely not tolerate such things happening. If he had turned a blind eye to all that filth, he wouldn’t have remained clean-handed after so many years in office.

　　”Let’s wait and see for now. This matter is far too difficult, but I will definitely get to the bottom of it.” Xia Min gently set his glass down on the table, his gaze firm and resolute.

　　…………

　　”Landor, Landor, Landor!”

　　Ninghai International Airport was already packed with people, countless heads bobbing, all wanting to catch a glimpse of Toni Landor!

　　That’s right, today was the day Toni Landor was flying into Ninghai! Once again, the queen of popularity had shaken the world with her staggering fame!

　　To maintain order at the scene, the airport not only deployed all of its security forces but even seconded additional personnel from a security company.

　　Ninghai’s summer sun scorched the earth, yet it did nothing to dampen people’s enthusiasm! Because who they were about to see was the biggest star in the world! The most enchanting woman in the world!

　　Just like the title of that blockbuster film, describing her with the words “most enchanting” was truly not an exaggeration at all!

　　Cao Tianping held a megaphone in one hand and a large poster board in the other, excitedly leading the fan club in loud chants: “Landor, we love you, Landor, we love you!”

　　This chubby fan club president was really giving it his all. A full half hour before Landor’s private jet was set to land, he was already going at it like his life depended on it. But the results were genuinely impressive — under his leadership, by the time the plane was nearly touching down, most of the fan club members had completely lost their voices!

　　People who don’t chase celebrities truly can’t understand this kind of fervor. The waves of cheering at the scene almost threatened to blow the roof off the airport!

　　Toni Landor emerged from the VIP corridor, still dressed in a white gauze gown that looked pure and holy yet brimming with intense allure. She removed the oversized sunglasses that had covered most of her face and waved at the crowd.

　　That single gesture was like tossing a barrel of dynamite into the already impassioned crowd! The atmosphere, already sky-high, surged even higher!

　　Everyone rushed toward the VIP corridor, and the hundred-plus security personnel on site were nearly powerless to hold them back!

　　”Watch your safety, watch your safety!”

　　As the fan club president, Cao Tianping didn’t forget his responsibilities, but his shouting was completely useless — nobody was listening to him at all!

　　With Toni Landor’s charisma right before them, who could possibly stay calm?

　　Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, and finding it hard to keep his balance in such a fierce surge of people, Cao Tianping simply tossed away the megaphone and used his physical advantage to shove his way desperately toward the VIP corridor!

　　Su Rui had already given him two front-row tickets, which put Cao the group leader in an excellent mood, completely free of any worries.

　　Toni Landor’s management company had long anticipated a scene like this. They had dispatched a large number of bodyguards in advance to protect this queen of film and television from all sides!

　　A figure in sunglasses stood quietly in the distance, his gaze behind the lenses fixed on Landor the entire time. It was Su Rui.

　　Watching that graceful silhouette surrounded by thousands of admirers, Su Rui smiled slightly and murmured to himself: “Long time no see. It seems you’ve only grown more beautiful.”

　　By the railing on the second floor of the airport stood two rather upright-looking men. They too were wearing sunglasses, seemingly trying to conceal their identities.

　　”This woman is something else, more exciting than any woman I’ve ever been with.”

　　”Absolutely, I’ve done you-know-what to that film ‘Most Enchanting’ so many times, I’ve dreamed about pinning this woman down.”

　　”If it were some small-time domestic celebrity, we might have a chance to play around, but Landor has made it this far in Hollywood — she’s not someone we can just push around whenever we want.”

　　The two went back and forth, talking about utterly disgraceful topics, yet those very topics revealed their considerable status.

　　”Actually, it’s not that difficult. Think about it — no matter how far she’s gotten in Hollywood, once she comes to China she has to play by the rules here. Just like that former Best Actress winner McKassan — didn’t she end up linked in rumors with some wealthy Chinese businessman all the same?”

　　”You’re saying, if we just use a little leverage, we can get Toni Landor to fall in line?”

　　”Exactly. With our standing, playing around with ordinary women has no challenge left. Only by getting a Hollywood socialite like her under us would there be even the slightest sense of achievement.”

　　The other man thought for a moment, a shameless smile creeping to the corner of his lips: “You’re right. This is China’s turf, and there’s very little we can’t get done here. I simply don’t believe this Toni Landor has enough backbone to risk losing the Chinese market just to avoid spending a night with us.”

　　The ability to make Toni Landor lose the Chinese market? What kind of power would it take to pull that off?

　　Su Rui stood in the distance and couldn’t hear these two men talking. Otherwise, he would have ripped their tongues out on the spot!

　　A petite figure in denim hot pants and a fitted tank top stood in the crowd, waving the baseball cap off her head and shouting at the top of her lungs: “Landor, I love you, you’re my idol!”

　　Had Su Rui been nearby, he would certainly have recognized her — this casually-dressed, sexy young woman was none other than Huang Jingwei, whom he had crossed paths with twice before!

　　Li Ruihao and Xie Zhenbo stood behind Huang Jingwei, equally drooling over Toni Landor’s alluring figure.

　　As college students who didn’t know the value of self-restraint, Xie and Li had absolutely no resistance against Landor’s overwhelming appeal!

　　”What an absolute goddess.”

　　Xie Zhenbo’s eyes shifted away from Toni Landor’s rear and landed on Huang Jingwei’s backside right in front of him, a lecherous look creeping into his gaze.

　　The curve of those hips was full and rounded, clearly full of bounce — exactly the type he was most fond of!

　　Thinking this, Xie Zhenbo quietly exchanged a meaningful glance with Li Ruihao.

　　The latter understood immediately, and reached into his pocket to feel the bottle of mineral water he had there — something he had sourced through special channels. They said that drinking just half a bottle was enough to knock out an elephant.

　　Alright, why did that sales pitch sound somehow familiar?

　　If Su Rui saw that bottle of mineral water, he would be completely immune. After the incident of Qin Yueran spiking his drink, Su Rui would sooner die than drink that brand of mineral water again — he had developed a serious psychological aversion to it!

　　The two male students had it all planned out: at dinner that evening, Huang Jingwei would drink the water, and then the three of them would put on quite a show together!

　　…………

　　With the combined effort of numerous bodyguards clearing the way, Toni Landor finally broke free from the surrounding crowd and got into the RV that had been arranged in advance.

　　Seeing Landor safely escorted into the vehicle, every member of the security team breathed a sigh of relief. By this point they were all drenched in sweat, as though they had just fought a battle.

　　No sooner had those much-coveted curves settled into the seat than a makeup artist rushed forward, dabbing the sweat from Landor’s face while carefully touching up her makeup.

　　Agent Heathway sat beside her and said: “The organizers want to have dinner with you tonight. The venue has already been selected — it’s at the Huamei Hotel in Ninghai.”

　　Toni Landor raised an eyebrow: “I really don’t want to go. These organizers are so boring.”

　　Heathway explained with some difficulty: “This is just how things work in China. The organizers here usually have considerable influence, so it’s best not to go against their wishes.”

　　On this point, Heathway spoke from experience. The celebrity she had managed before was also an extremely beautiful woman with strong influence in the industry, but after coming to China and refusing the demands of a powerful figure, she was unreasonably blacklisted. To this day she has never been able to enter the Chinese market, and her standing in the West has gradually declined as well.

　　As a top-tier agent, Heathway naturally didn’t want to see Toni Landor repeat that same path. Landor was at the peak of her career right now, and fully tapping into the enormous potential of the Chinese market would also play a crucial role in solidifying her own position.

　　”I knew you’d say that. Complaining won’t help — I’ll just go through the motions.”

　　Toni Landor stretched lazily. The curve that motion revealed left everyone present momentarily breathless. The driver happened to catch a glimpse in the rearview mirror, and his leg trembled — he nearly rear-ended the car in front!

　　…………

　　After Toni Landor departed, the fans at the airport began to disperse, still feeling like it hadn’t been enough. Cao Tianping wore a look of complete satisfaction, while Huang Jingwei looked visibly disappointed.

　　”Jingwei, what’s wrong? You saw your idol — you should be happy.”

　　Xie Zhenbo said with “concern.” Ever since he learned that Huang Jingwei had “something going on” with Su Rui, he no longer thought about conquering her psychologically — he only wanted to enjoy himself physically.

　　”I wanted Toni Landor’s autograph, but it looks like that’s out of the question now.” Huang Jingwei pouted.

　　The number of people wanting her autograph was beyond counting. Huang Jingwei was indeed being a bit too wishful.

　　But at that very moment, her gaze suddenly cut through the sea of people and landed on a familiar figure!
