Si Nian tilted her head slightly, but because her view was obstructed, she could only see a tiny bit.
Seeing that she couldn't see much, she withdrew her gaze and began observing the surrounding environment instead.
She then said softly, "Look at that sign, it seems like parking isn't allowed here, and there are even surveillance cameras..."
As one of the famous landmarks in Shanghai for taking photos, parking was prohibited at all times except for special film and television production needs.
Especially after six o'clock every evening, a large number of internet celebrities and business people would come to the hotel to take photos.
If parking were allowed at the main entrance at will, the entire entrance would be blocked so tightly that not even a drop of water could trickle through.
Therefore, under normal circumstances, parking was only permitted at the back and side entrances.
Jiang Cheng nodded after hearing Si Nian's words.
"In principle, parking shouldn't be allowed at the main entrance, but there are always special cases."
With Jiang Cheng's words, combined with the attitude of the Male Manager from earlier, Si Nian understood instantly.
With an envious expression, she said, "Tsk tsk tsk, a big shot is truly a big shot. When I first came to Shanghai, I did some research. I heard this hotel only has fifty-something parking spaces. It's a real pain to eat here; you have to park at a nearby department store and then walk over?"
Jiang Cheng nodded. "If you just come here to eat, you can't use the hotel's parking lot. You can only use it if you're staying at the hotel. Furthermore, the entire hotel has over 200 suites, but only fifty-plus parking spaces. Only about 20 are open to the public. The other spaces are internal spots reserved for people with special status."
Hearing this, Si Nian couldn't help but gape. "Ah, it's that tight? You mean for over 200 rooms, there are only 20-something available spots? That's just speechless~~"
"These old buildings weren't designed with underground parking in mind. After all, not many people owned cars back then. Plus, this is a landmark, so it can't be rebuilt. Being able to carve out an underground parking lot at all is already quite good; it's just how things are."
Seeing that the area ahead was being cleared, Shen Chong said a few words to Jiang Cheng and then returned to his own car.
Cai Kunxu, currently the most controversially popular male star, was standing in front of the camera, constantly changing poses in an attempt to show off his most handsome side.
Although he maintained a cold and aloof expression on his face, in reality, his heart was filled with joy and satisfaction.
He pretended not to care about the fans surrounding him who were screaming and snapping photos frantically, but he actually thoroughly enjoyed the feeling of being the center of attention.
However, before he could fully indulge in this vanity, the hotel staff who were helping maintain order suddenly started telling them to pause the shoot.
The Male Manager walked over and said a few words to Cai Kunxu's manager, asking them to clear the area first.
The manager's brow furrowed instantly upon hearing this.
While he knew that celebrities were nothing in the face of such capital,
the celebrity halo was no small matter in the eyes of ordinary people.
With so many people at the scene, if a top-tier star was made to give way to someone else, he didn't know how the news would be written tomorrow.
The manager spoke with some difficulty, "Manager, could you have them take a detour? We've already rented this venue."
The Male Manager smiled politely on the surface but spoke with a very stiff tone. "My apologies, but this is a very important client of our hotel. Please pause your filming for a moment and come back later."
Since it was their venue, the manager could only smile and nod in agreement.
The manager hurried over to Cai Kunxu and whispered, "Kun-kun, let's pause for a bit. They need to park at the hotel entrance, so we need to move aside for a moment."
When Cai Kunxu heard this, his composed expression suddenly collapsed. "What? Parking?? Park what car? Isn't parking forbidden here??"
The manager consoled him, "The specifics aren't clear, but let's go inside and rest for a bit before coming back out. Be good, this isn't the place to act like a diva."
These words made Cai Kunxu's face turn gloomy instantly, but because there were too many fans at the scene, he quickly forced a smile. Though it was a bit strained, he nodded his consent.
In his heart, he felt that his willingness to come here for a shoot without charging any fee was already providing free advertising for the hotel.
Now, being asked to step aside just to let some other guest park made him feel extremely displeased.
However, Cai Kunxu also knew very well that the other party must be an important big client; otherwise, how could they be qualified to park their car right at the hotel entrance?
After all, for a production crew like theirs, the nanny vans they brought had to obediently book a hotel suite just to secure a single parking spot.
Furthermore, he had just come up via the elevator from the parking lot entrance; he hadn't had the chance to park directly at the hotel door at all.
Thinking of this, Cai Kunxu sighed unhappily and then waved his hand to his assistants, signaling everyone to move aside quickly.
At the same time, the staff immediately began to disperse the crowd gathered at the entrance.
They were made to clear a path.
Seeing their idol suddenly stop filming, the densely packed fans couldn't help but frown.
Especially since Cai Kunxu's slightly exaggerated expressions from earlier were seen by these female fans, a sense of pity and heartache welled up in their hearts.
From within the dispersed crowd, various cries of "Ahhh" began to rise one after another in different tones.
"Ah, what happened?? Why did they stop filming??"
"Ah, what did that person say to Gege? Why did they suddenly stop the shoot?"
"Ah, my Gege looks so wronged, I feel so bad for Gege~~"
"Who's in those three cars behind us?? Making such a big scene, can't they park somewhere else??"
