Chapter 389 Girlfriend and Bodyguard, the Operation Begins!

Pony Ma watched this scene, a flicker of curiosity flashing in his eyes.

He had long noticed the two extraordinary female guards beside Jiang Jing and had vaguely heard some rumors about them.

Taking this opportunity, he asked in a seemingly casual manner, "Chairman Jiang, who are these two...? They have such extraordinary presence."

Jiang Jing picked up some food with his chopsticks without lifting his head, replying casually, "Oh, them? They are my girlfriends and part-time bodyguards."

He said this with utter naturalness.

Hearing this, although Zhou Wanqin and Lin Hong had been mentally prepared, they couldn't help but feel their cheeks flush with crimson when Jiang Jing stated it so bluntly in front of an outsider.

They lowered their heads, their eating pace slowing down, but they did not voice any refutation.

Pony Ma understood instantly; indeed, the rumors were true!

An "I see" expression appeared on his face, and he wisely refrained from asking further, simply smiling and offering a compliment:

"Chairman Jiang, you are a lucky man!"

Inside, however, he was clicking his tongue in wonder. He had heard that these two had quite unusual identities and seemed to have been sent by the higher-ups...

This Chairman Jiang was truly extraordinary in every respect.

The meal concluded in this lighthearted atmosphere.

Pony Ma checked the time and said to Jiang Jing, "Chairman Jiang, you've had a long journey. I have already arranged a hotel for you—the highest-spec presidential suite in our Shenzhen. You can go and rest to recharge your energy."

"When the event is about to start tonight, I will send someone to pick you up."

Jiang Jing was quite satisfied with this arrangement and nodded, "Mr. Ma, you've gone to a lot of trouble."

He accepted it all with peace of mind.

He knew very well that by agreeing to come this time, Pony Ma and the Tencent Group had invisibly gained enormous brand premium and attention.

This bit of reception cost and effort was merely a drop in the ocean.

Thus, accompanied personally by Pony Ma, Jiang Jing and his group arrived at a top-tier hotel located in a prime city center area.

Pony Ma escorted Jiang Jing to the entrance of the suite and then wisely took his leave: "Chairman Jiang, please rest well. I still have some event details to finalize on my end, so I will excuse myself first."

"If you need anything, feel free to contact me or my assistant at any time."

"Go ahead and get busy, Mr. Ma. See you tonight." Jiang Jing smiled and bid him farewell.

Closing the suite door, he shut out the outside world.

Jiang Jing stretched his body, looked at the bustling scenery of Shenzhen outside the window, and smiled at Zhou Wanqin and Lin Hong: "Finally, some peace and quiet. How about it, this place isn't bad, right?"

The two women nodded and continued to diligently check the safety of the suite.

Watching their focused backs, Jiang Jing smiled and lazily sprawled out on the huge sofa in the living room.

...

Time passed quietly, and soon it was time for the Starlight Awards event to begin.

Zhou Wanqin and Lin Hong had long since arranged several temporary vehicles for Jiang Jing through local special department channels.

These cars looked unremarkable on the outside, no different from ordinary commercial vans.

But inside, they had undergone comprehensive bulletproof reinforcement and performance modifications, offering extremely high security, sufficient to handle any unexpected situations.

Jiang Jing and his group drove steadily toward the event venue.

Meanwhile, the scene at the Starlight Awards was already a different sight.

The reporters allowed into the inner venue had all passed strict screening.

At this moment, they were nervously and excitedly making final checks on their "weapons"—the long and short lenses of their cameras and recording equipment.

Their gazes, like searchlights, sharply scanned every corner—both sides of the red carpet, guest entrances, and anywhere else they might capture a news scoop.

Everyone held the same exciting target in their hearts—Jiang Jing!

This legendary figure, who had risen like a comet recently, his brilliance illuminating the entire tech and entertainment worlds, was synonymous with traffic.

From his sudden appearance with the huanyan beauty serum, to the world-shocking Neural Induction Prosthetics, and now the global sensation game, phantom world.

His every move and every word were guaranteed to be trending topics, the kind of material media personnel dreamed of reporting.

Unfortunately, this gentleman lived in seclusion; besides accepting two exclusive interviews with state-level media, he almost never appeared in public.

Being able to invite him to attend the Starlight Awards was truly a godsend for all media personnel!

As long as they could get an exclusive interview with him, it would be enough for them to stand out in the industry; promotion and a raise would be just around the corner!

Even if they could just snap a few clear, exclusive photos, tomorrow's headline would be secured.

"Check the equipment again! Absolutely no mistakes allowed!"

"Keep a close eye on the red carpet camera positions! Jiang Jing is very likely to enter from there!"

"It would be great if we could ask questions about the game or the export of the Prosthetic limb..."

"Stop dreaming, if we can just get a clear front-facing photo, we've won!"

The press area was filled with an excited atmosphere that was both nervous and full of anticipation.

As the background music began, the lights at the event venue focused on the end of the red carpet, and the Starlight Awards officially kicked off.

The first to walk the red carpet were some artists with relatively lower status and a lack of representative works.

Most of them had polite smiles, trying hard to show their best state in front of the cameras, but their main role was to warm up the venue and build the atmosphere.

Experienced reporters only occasionally pressed the shutter symbolically to record material; their attention was not fully focused.

As the proceedings advanced, the weight of the appearing guests gradually increased.

Next to appear were the top-tier new generation, mainly the post-95s actresses.

The first to walk the red carpet was Liu Haocun, who had emerged with a pure and spirited image and good resources. She chose a pale pink tulle dress, looking sweet and lovely.

Following closely was Wang Churan, who had a cool temperament and great audience appeal, wearing a water-blue gown, looking like a fairy under the moonlight.

Then, a distinct commotion and even more intensive shutter sounds erupted at the scene—Tian Xinwei had arrived!

She chose a dress with an extremely ingenious design today.

The upper part was an exquisite silver sequined bodice, perfectly outlining her proud cleavage and slender waist, while the lower part was a black satin gown with a high slit.

As she walked, the skirt swayed, and her straight, slender legs were visible intermittently.

It boldly displayed her hot and sexy figure advantages while remaining not vulgar due to the just-right coverage.

It found a perfect balance between sexiness and elegance.

"Click! Click! Click!"

The reporters' cameras instantly seemed to be injected with adrenaline, and the flashes lit up the area.

Tian Xinwei's outfit, combined with her sweet smile and slightly shy eyes, instantly pushed the atmosphere of the scene to a small climax.

Netizens watching via the online Livestream room also instantly boiled over:

"Holy cow! Tian Xinwei! This figure! I'm literally panting!"

"How did I not notice she had such a great figure before?! This dress choice is absolutely stunning!"

"Both pure and seductive! She's killing me!"

"She looks so nervous, but she's so cute!"

"This is what a red carpet should look like! Beauties, bring it on!"

The comments were scrolling wildly, almost drowning out the screen.

Other post-95s actresses, such as the versatile Zhao Lusi and the highly acclaimed Bai Lu, also appeared one after another.

Each had their own merits, causing fans to shout and cheer for their idols, and the popularity of the Livestream room continued to climb.
