Look at her words, really sincere, but Lu Yanci still won't believe her, because beneath her angelic face hides another side of her. Lu Yanci recalls his first meeting with Wan Qingran, she was beautiful, gentle, careful in her work, rarely speaking to others, but able to complete her work perfectly and on time. At first, Lu Yanci noticed Wan Qingran only because of her world-weary face, a face that did not smile and warned people to stay away, but when she did smile, it was full of life. During a shoot, Wan Qingran accidentally injured her foot while moving props, but she continued to work despite the injury. Seeing her limping, Lu Yanci let her leave early and rest for a few days after learning the reason.
Wan Qingran was by Lu Yanci's side as an assistant after being promoted. She was responsible for everything big and small in Lu Yanci's work, and occasionally even involved in his daily life. Lu Yanci himself felt that his work became easier since Wan Qingran became his assistant, so he gave her a key to his house for convenience. It wasn't until Lu Yanci discovered that the photo album in his bedroom drawer had been tampered with that he began to suspect Wan Qingran. He bought a miniature camera and placed it in a doll's head, and after a few days, received a video on his phone showing Wan Qingran as the person rummaging through things.
At first, he thought she was trying to steal money, but nothing valuable was missing from the house. He had a suspicion, could she be a private fan? In order to know her purpose, Lu Yanci pretended to be completely unaware on the surface and secretly sent private detectives to investigate Wan Qingran. The detective investigation was quick, and within a day, they received photos and information.
Wan Qingran Her parents passed away when she was four years old. Her only living relative is her grandmother, who is currently receiving medical treatment. She is facing financial difficulties and relies on part-time work to pay for her university tuition and living expenses.
Lu Yanci When he saw the two people in the photo, one of them was Jiang Nan. He still finds that kind and amiable face disgusting.
Jiang Xunzhi called out from the side, "What are you thinking about so deeply?"
Lu Yanci replied, "I have never owed anyone anything. The person in your department, Su Yun, is getting very close to the designer Fang Ling from Wal Art Studio. If you investigate carefully, you will be surprised. I am telling you this as a way of repaying the favor of saving your life."
"Okay, so you found me today just to tell me this?"
"Yes, unless you were expecting something else."
Stop it. Jiang Xunzhi gave a disdainful look. How could she be interested in a guy eight years younger, especially one who used to be her student. She uttered a few indifferent words. "Speechless. Goodbye."
Then she picked up her hat and walked outside.
At nine o'clock in the evening, Jiang Xunzhi transformed into a different appearance and went to Han River Bar to flirt with men. Today, she didn't sit at the bar, but reserved a private room. On the table were the keys to a Bentley and a Ferrari, along with several bottles of expensive wine. She sat alone, smoking and drinking, watching the men and women on the dance floor.
Before long, a shy and cute boy approached her with a glass of wine and toasted her. After taking a sip, he asked, "Sister, can I have your WeChat?"
Jiang Xunzhi Looking at him, he seems like he's not of legal age, fair-skinned but not particularly good-looking. However, I can play with him for a bit. "How old are you this year? You look like you might not be of legal age." The boy showed his ID card, born in 2003, 21 years old, legally an adult, but still too young for her.
"I lost the game, so this is a big adventure." Jiang Xunzhi looked around and noticed a few people sitting diagonally across from her staring over at her. It seems that the guy is their friend. "Sort of," the guy said somewhat shyly. "Are you a college student? First time at a bar," Jiang Xunzhi asked as she smoked, leaning against the sofa.
"Yes, but it's not my first time at a bar," the young man spoke in a flustered manner, standing there like a scolded student. Jiang Xunzhi found it amusing and said, "Sister is not interested in students like you. Go back quickly and study hard every day."
It was the first time she had seen such a shy college student, truly innocent and reserved, which brought her some amusement. The young man looked a bit dejected and turned back to his original position.
Suddenly, she saw two men in black suits following behind Songcheng, like a boss with two henchmen, and the three of them walked towards the elevator to the second floor.
In the bar, only the elevator can lead to the second floor. The elevator will not start without a dedicated access card. After more than half an hour, Songcheng came out alone. After another ten minutes, a man with long red hair and sunglasses walked out of the elevator, followed by six men in black suits who looked more like bodyguards. Jiang Xunzhi inadvertently glanced at the red-haired man, who seemed to have superpowers. He looked in Jiang Xunzhi's direction and smiled slightly. Jiang Xunzhi suddenly felt a chill down her spine, her first instinct being that this red-haired man was not ordinary.
At 11 pm, Su Yun, Xiao Ran, Du Qingfeng, and other unknown individuals arrived at the bar. Jiang Xunzhi finally saw Su Yun and revealed a hunter's smile, not in vain for her to have sat here for hours. Several people headed towards the elevator, clearly going to the second floor. Jiang Xunzhi followed them. The group waited at the elevator door, with Xiao Ran continuously holding Su Yun's waist. Su Yun quickly broke free, half-jokingly saying, "Mr. Xiao, there are many people here." Xiao Ran turned to look at the person behind them, giving a cold glance. At this moment, she was in disguise and had no idea that this person was Jiang Xunzhi.
"The elevator is here," said Su Yun. Several people got on the elevator. When they arrived at the first and second floors, Xiao Ran and the others walked down the east corridor, while Jiang Xunzhi went down the west corridor to the bathroom. They changed into the uniforms of the service staff and went to the kitchen in the north. Inside, there were two chefs and a bartender. The bartender, who was busy, said to the staff, "Why are you just arriving? This is the wine for room 2002 in the east corridor." Jiang Xunzhi quickly stepped forward, picked up the wine glass, and walked towards the east corridor. He pushed open the door to room 2002 in the east corridor and saw Du Qingfeng and the others. The girl inside seemed to be on display, standing opposite them and being chosen, but Xiao Ran and Su Yun were nowhere to be seen.
"Whoever steps forward voluntarily, all the money on this table is yours." Du Qingfeng looked arrogantly at these girls.
Jiang Xunzhi put down his drink and left.
Su Yun and Xiao Ran are not here. Could they be in other rooms in the east corridor? Jiang Xunzhi kept a close eye on the sound of each room in the east corridor, afraid of missing out. As she approached the door of room 2008, it happened to be opened, and a tall, powerful man came out dragging an unconscious, bloodied man.
The man's eyes were filled with a cold, menacing light as he asked, "What's the matter?"
Jiang Xunzhi was somewhat frightened inside, but still tried to remain calm: "I got the room number wrong, I'm really sorry."
It was obvious that he was a member of the underworld. Jiang Xunzhi was only here to find leverage on Su Yun, never expecting to encounter the underworld. She quickly left.
In 2008, someone inside said, "What's going on outside?"
"I encountered a staff member who seemed to be eavesdropping."
In the back, in room 2002, Jiang Xunzhi delivered the wine three times, and it wasn't until the last time that I saw Xiao Ran and Su Yun sitting on the sofa. The two of them were disheveled, and anyone with keen eyes could tell what they had done.
"Xiao, didn't the company headquarters plan to hold a young designer competition?" Su Yun took a sip of wine.
"Yes, the company wants to select someone who can rival Jiang Xunzhi," Xiao Ran pushed away the woman next to him, feeling somewhat disgusted.
"I don't think someone like Jiang Xunzhi is possible," Su Yun said.
Xiao Ran said, "You, the waiter, are so slow. Hurry up and clean up and get out, you're really annoying. Each round of this competition is personally set by Shen Tingsi, so you can imagine the difficulty."
"I'm sorry." Jiang Xunzhi quickly tidied up and left here. Lu Yanci had known that the Shen was going to select young designers, and the internal news of the Shen was only known to the senior management. Lu Yanci had also heard it from Shen Tingsi. Passing by Donglang 2008 again, Jiang Xunzhi felt a chill, and suddenly, the door opened, and the man from earlier said, "My boss invites you in."
This is definitely not a good thing. Jiang Xunzhi didn't even need to think, she immediately refused. But the man grabbed her hand and pulled her in. Jiang Xunzhi had practiced, so she quickly broke free from his grasp, turned and ran, hiding in the bathroom. She changed back into her original clothes and arrived at the elevator door, reaching the first floor and leaving the bar.
Those people just now were obviously not good people. If she had really gone in, she would have been in big trouble.
She took off her disguise mask, threw it in the trash can, lit a cigarette, leaned against the wall, and saw several men in black clothes searching around. A smile appeared on Jiang Xunzhi's lips.
Sister didn't have time to play with you, so she threw the still-burning cigarette and walked towards the main road. After last night's intellectual battle, Jiang Xunzhi didn't sleep well and came to work with dark circles under his eyes. There are only a few things to do at work, and the promotion posters for the movie "Trace of Tears" have been completed and approved by the upper management. Jiang Xunzhi went back to look at the documents, signed them, and passed the time. When he was particularly bored, he designed clothes. However, Su Yun didn't come to work today. I heard from other colleagues that she seemed to have taken leave to see a doctor.
Who knows whether she is really sick or faking it, the employees of the Youth Designer Competition company don't know, proving that it hasn't been revealed to the outside world yet. Only the higher-ups at the Shen know about this competition. Lu Yanci also said that Su Yun is very close to the designer Fang Ling, so why would she want to be close to Fang Ling? In this situation, it's either for money or for fame. For money, Fang Ling wants to win this designer competition, so she found Su Yun hoping she could help her steal the competition's theme, and Su Yun could get money.
For the sake of reputation, if Fang Ling wins, it will not only bring great honor, but also possibly mention the name Su Yun.
At this moment, a notification in the company group chat reads: " the Shen will hold a young designer competition, and everyone is welcome to sign up." This message has already been posted on the company's account, and within a minute, there are tens of millions of comments.
In the afternoon, Su Yun unexpectedly appeared in the office, humming a tune with a happy look on her face. Her subordinates were calling out, "Director Su."
Jiang Xunzhi came out to fetch water and ran into her. Su Yun quickly approached her and said, "Vice Director, are you participating in the youth designer competition this time?" She was so enthusiastic that Jiang Xunzhi felt a little uncomfortable and kept her distance, saying, "I'm not participating." "Well, I am one of the judges for this competition," Su Yun said contemptuously.
"Oh," Jiang Xunzhi responded, bypassing her and realizing she was not a good person. She just wanted to show off that she was a judge in the competition. Suddenly, Jiang Xunzhi thought of something. Could it be that this woman, as a judge, could know the competition topic and leak it to Fang Ling in advance? The water in the cup overflowed, and she didn't even notice until Songcheng turned off the tap.
"Fortunately, you received cold water. If it was hot water, you might have been scalded." Songcheng said.
"Thank you." Jiang Xunzhi thanked and prepared to leave the water room. He was stopped by Songcheng: "Is that strawberry cake delicious?"
Thinking of the last time when he received the strawberry cake, Jiang Xunzhi nodded: "It's quite delicious. Thank you, Supervisor Song."
"Today I bought an extra piece again. Bring it home with you after work."
Jiang Xunzhi considered and replied, "Okay, I'll come find you after work."
Back in the office, Shen Siyi called Jiang Xunzhi into her office. As soon as he entered, she threw a photo at his face and sneered, "Who do you think you are? Do you think you can compare to Lu Yanci?"
The photo shows her and Lu Yanci having a conversation in the teahouse.
"Mr. Lu just wanted to thank me for saving him on Tianyun Mountain and invited me for a cup of tea. I don't know who took the photo and spread rumors." Jiang Xunzhi spoke frankly, but Shen Siyi held a grudge against her for it.
"No one will believe what you said. His fans won't believe it, and the public will only go by the picture. If the photo spreads and is accompanied by a headline claiming that company employees are using the favor of saving a life to force Lu Yanci to meet with her, your name will quickly trend and make the headlines." Shen Siyi spoke with certainty, as if she had a firm grasp on the whole situation.
So, these are the photos she had someone take, the thought of Jiang Xunzhi flashed through her mind.
"Mr. Shen is indeed very good at using the advantages of the internet and understanding the public's mindset, but I won't take the blame for this groundless accusation. If you really send it out, have you asked Lu Yanci about it?" Jiang Xunzhi taunted her.
You are just a foster daughter of the Shen family, but Lu Yanci is the bloodline of the Shen family. Don't you understand this logic?
Jiang Xunzhi also investigated for quite a while before learning about Shen Siyi's background. She has no parents and was adopted by the Shen family at the age of 6, and only entered the company after completing her postgraduate studies.
Shen Siyi was provoked by her, but there was no trace of emotion in her eyes: "You seem to know a lot of things."
"Mr. Shen is joking. I'm just a regular employee."
I know more than you do.
"Haha, working so hard to get into a man's bed, first trying to seduce the Shen president, and then trying to seduce Lu Yanci. If this news gets out, your life will be completely ruined." Shen Siyi wanted to see her flustered and anxious, but Jiang Xunzhi did not comply with her wishes.
"You can publish it if you want, I don't care."
With a loud bang, the door was slammed heavily behind.
